COMMISSION DEFENDANT
Western Union Case to be Heard
Monday In Portland .
Hearing of the application of
the Western Union company for a
temporary Injunction restraining
the Oregon state tax commission
front fixing Its property valuations
for the year 1927 In excess of 21,
100,000, has-been set' for Monday
in the United States district court
In Portland. Three' federal Judges
will boar tho application. - .
The. state' tax commission fixed
the i property valuations of - the
Western Union company for y the
year 1927 at. 22,300.000, 'which Is
sn Increase of only 31200 over the
valuations fixed in the year 1924.
The Western Union company con
tends that the assessment is unrea
sonable and out of proportion to
the : valuations placed on other
simllsr properties. . . -
As a result of this suit the state
tax commissioner will not. be able
to certify the property valuations
of the Western Union company to
the county assessors prior to mak
ing the tax levy in December.
An effort will be made to have
the suit dismissed on the grounds
that the Western Union company
failed to file Its protest with the
state, tax commission within the
time required by law. '
