LEGISLATURE DUSTED
FROM CAPITOL HALL
(Continued from pt 1)
which was convoked without hit
call. v-
Court Ruling Final '
"I Intend to rely completely on
the courts." he said. "Their rul
ing will be final to me and if they
hold the session Is legal and has a
right to Investigate and to Impeach
me and other state officials,
shall abide by the decision.
- "Meanwhile to avoid chaos in
state government. I have called out
the troops.
"I put it off as long as possible.
Today was the last day that such
a. course was open. If I had de
layed another six - hours, they
would have come into this office
and probably would have thrown
me out bodily."
. The governor explained that al
though martial law has not fceen
formally declared, "the tact of
calling out the national guard
clothes the military arm with au
thority, the same - as If formal
martial law had been declared.'
Ootnt Order Secured
Governor Johnston fortified bis
legal position by obtaining a tem
porary restraining order from Dis
trict Judge T. G. Chambers, for
bidding the legislature from re
turning impeachment c h a r g e s
against any state officer.
The state supreme court, which
has already declared the session to
be without legal standing, today
indefinitely postponed hearing on
a test case that was intended fur
ther to clarify the situation. It
was an application for a writ of
mandamus forcing" the state audi
tor . to approve and the state
treasurer to pay claims of llglsla-
tore. made incident to the session.
While the executive saia - ne
would place his reliance In the
courts, legislative leaders reiter
ated that they would Ignore any
court orders against the session
They hold that the legislature has
"an Inherent right" to convene at
any time on Its own call and that
this right cannot be taken away by
the' Judiciary. , .
Incompetency Alleged
Charges against Governor John
ston to be laid before the house
by an investigating committee are
understood to Include an allega
tion of general Incompetency.
Two specifications are reported
to relate to the employment by the
executive department of Jose Al
varado as a special police officer
to hunt bank robbers. Legislators
have charged that Alvarado him
self is wanted by Texas authori
ties tor bank robbery.
Payment of salaries of certain
employes of the state bank depart
ment through the alleged illegal
issuance of deficiency certificates
Is another matter the house inves
tigating committee Inquired into.
INDIRECT LEVY AGAIN
FAVORED TO SHIFT TAX
(Continued from pas 1)
dared that Oregon received $16,
000,000 in direct taxes and $4,-
000,000 from general property
(tax. If the commission can find In
direct revenue sources to take
care of the soldiers bonus, mile
age for Institutions of higher ed
ucation and legislative appropria
tion, the burden on general prop
erty for state purposes will be
lifted. - f
Income Levy Favored -Claud
E. Ingalls, of CorvaUie,.
said that he personally favors the
principle of an income tax, but de
clared that a fair. Income tax never
has been presented to Oregon vo
ters. He does not believe-that a
graduated tax la fair; he prefers a
flat rate with a property oft-set to
Income bearing property, 1
In the opinion of A. A.i Smith
of Baker, chairman of the ' com
mittee, no : income tax can be
framed that will pass the voters.
He said the kind of bill that would
suit Mr. Ingalls would not be sup
ported by those who have advo
cated an Income tax for years.
II real property is to ; be re
lieved, something else must be
found. A. C. Spencer, general
counsel for the Union Pacific said
that an income tax with a prop
erty offset always had appealed to
him.
A. R. Shumway of Milton did
not agree' with Chairman Smith
that the people will not adopt an
income tax, nor did he agree with
Ingalls on a flat rate and property
offset. He wanted a graduated
rate and no offset.
It was agreed by the committee
that there are many people in
Oregon who favor an Income tax,
but that it might be difficult to
get all the different theorists to
unite.
It was agreed that an j Income
tax, along with other plans should
have a fair and Impartial study
Chairman Smith announced that
if the commission Is finally of the
opinion that an Income tax Is the
solution he will work along with
the commission. j
There will be an examination of
the West Virginia Scheme-- sales
tax. The California plan! also Is
to be studied.
