Held Wishful Thought

Meier Undoubtedly Com
mands Most Attention;
Support is Loudest
Nine more gays will see an end
to Oregon's most stormy guber
natorial contest since the days of
'22 and white shirts. Weeping
Walter and the school bill.
The race has reached the stage
where the careful reporting sup
posed to underlie every real news
story, has gone the way of all po
litical campaigns.
In its place vre garbled stor
ies, claiming sweeping victories
or "decided trends," the contri
bution of the - political writers,
whose -"victory" ana -trend'.' de
pend ' On their own newspaper's
editorial conrietions.
Undoubtedly Meier Is the most
talked, the most advertised man
in the race. He has carried the
fight to the opponents and has
claimed the floodlight of the po
litical ring.
3Ieier Support
ClajiS Victory
Meier's supporters likewise,
are by far the most active and the
most verlbose. Judged by enthus
iastic, ready-6poken support, his
election Is imminent. There can
be no question that Meier has
proved, in the peculiar circum
stances of 1930 and with the
strength of money to back his
candidacy, the most formidable
independent candidate ever to
present himself to staid Old Man
Oregon.
Metschan's Strength lies in the
heavy majority which Oregon us
ually gives a republican. There
are many voters. Including those
who refuse to be dazzled by the
anti-private power propaganda,
who will vote the republican tick
et, from force of habit and from
belief.
However, in years past demo
crats have won the governorship
especially when there has been a
fight within the republican par
ty. The independents never have
won.
It is this fact In Oregon's po
litical history which gives espe
cial hope to . Democratic Ed
Bailey. -
"I'm going to win, you can
bank on that." Bailey, passing
through Salem only yesterday,
was as confident as was Meier a
fortnight, ago on his official
ris'.t.
Bailey looks to strong support
from the ex-service man's group
a3 well as from disaffected re
publicans.
Bailey Strength
Seen as Enigma- ; '
But no one can be In the least
certain how formidable Bailey is.
He is talked. There is some or
ganization behlnd.him but only
a fraction of that which is sup-
porting the Independent candi
date. Bailey has some newspaper
endorsements but nothing in
comparison to those given Mets
chan. "
Metschan must depend for his
rotes -on regular republicans who
, believe in following the dictates
of the primary law In Hs meth
ods of selecting a candidate. He
will also have with him men and
women Vho refuse to be hurried
to an independent candidate for
a power-issue flurry.
Metschan has repeatedly stated
that the remedy for power -evils
is with existing machinery . both
as regards the public service
commission, the establishment of
' municipal ownership ot power or
the reservation power sites for
the people.
One of the most Interesting
sidelights of the week was L. A.
Banks' query of Senator Charles
L. McNary on the latter's "can
didate." The senator made an
evasive answer, speaking of his
opponent in unkind manner, but
making no statement either for
Metschan and Meier. Banks re
plied that McNary was support

rolled up a 1 to 0 victory over
College of Puget Sound Satur
day afternoon on Sweetland
field. The Bearcat defense was

Willamette got away to two
scoring marches during which
the offense did function admir
ably; once early in the second
period and again at the close of
the third quarter. In each case
a pass, DePoe to Erickson, put
the ball in scoring distance and
each time after some more neat
gains by Erickson and Lang, the
latter plunged over for the
touchdown. ,
The third score,' at the opening

Legislation authorizing the
University of Oregon to float a

today by a committee of the Ore

The recommendation was an

BEFORESQLQNS
Supreme Court's Ruling is
Silent on Question of
Returning Money
Way Pointed to Enactment
Of law Which Will be
Constitutional
It will not be nossible for the
state to refund any of the
$1,000,000 collected, under the !
mtangiDies tax law, witnout leg
islative sanction, it was declared
here Saturday by state officials
who have given careful Btudy to
the opinion of the supreme court
holding that law unconstitution
al.
First reading of the opinion
indicated that the court had or
dered the refund. John Carkln,
chairman of the Btate tax com
mission, pointed out that the
money derived from the intangi
bles tax law had been turned
over to the state treasurer and
placed in the general fund.
He declared in receipting for
this money the state tax commis
sion was precluded from making
any refunds unless authorized to
do so by the legislature. The
money had been held unreceipted
by the state treasurer until six
weeks ago in hope that an earlier
opinion of the supreme court
would be forthcoming.
No Reference to
Refund, Shown
"The opinion of the supreme
court made no reference to the
refund," Carkin said, "but re
mands the case to the lower
court with Instructions to grant
the prayer of the petitioners.
Apparently the petitioners did
not ask for a refund or the
money paid under the intangible
tax law."
Carkin declared that on en-
couracing phase of the opinion
was the fact that it pointed out
two ways in "which a constitu
tional intangibles tax law may
be enacted. One way would be
a tax on intangibles to be desig
nated as a property tax-and In

Wise' Revision
New complications were added
to the state's already tangled fi
nancial outlook by the action ef
the state supreme court Friday
In declaring unconstitutional the
intangibles tax law. and a new
problem is thereby presented to
the 1931 legislature. Thomas B.
Kay, state treasurer, declared
Saturday.
"The supreme rivirt has h4d
the act to be Invalid for the rea
son that it ii discriminatory
through the exemption of corpor
ations in the operation of the
act," road Kay's statemeiir.
"Whether thl may be remedif'd
by amending the act so as to in
ciude corporation ii yet to b

"The dominating factor at t'u
present time is th effect the de
cision has upon the credit struc
ture of the state. In determiaini:
the state tax levy in 1329 for the
year 1930, the state tax commis
sion deducted th amount f
i9e,000 as estimated receipts
from the intangibles and excise tax
laws.
Kxpected Amount
Left out of Levy
"That part of the J900.000 re
presenting estimated receipts
from intangibles taxes was de
ducted in accordance with the
provision of section 15 of the in
tangibles tax law which provides
that in the first year In which the
act should become operative and
for each year thereafter, the state
tax commission shall estimate 'he
total amount of revenue to h
raised from the several millage
taxes in force and the amount ne
cessary for miscellaneous state
purposes as enumerated nmier
sectidn 4215 Oregon laws.
"Further provision was made
that the commission shall dedaet
therefrom any surplus or esti
mated'' surplus remaining in the
state treasury from all funds and
also tffe estimated net proceeds
of the intangibles tax fer the next
r-g calendar -year. Te law
oviaes; mat oniy ine re-
r left after subtracting the
estimated receipts from the in
tangibles tax shall btj apportion
ed among the several counties for
state tar-.pur poses.
"Profiting from the experi
ences of 1923 when the state tax
levy was arbitrarily reduced 11.
250,000 on account of estimated
receipts from taxe3 on Incomes,
which amount was not restored
to the tax base after the Income
tax law was repealed, the authors
ot the intangibles tax law insert
ed therein a clause to th effect
that the tax levy made during the
year 1929 should be taken aa the
basis from which to recken tke
