Yet McMa : ban continue adamant in bis be- j lief that the present graoa jury was perfectly legal in xis nnniui. X Continuing Order The gist of the matter arises over the question as xo wxiemer or notthe Jury died in November. Its, when Judge McMahan made , no oral or writtea order contin uing the Jury. The Oregon stat u nrnrldM that a errand Jury I can be continued by court order "until Its work is completed" out J the law also provides that such continuance must be by written order of the presiding fudge. "- Judge McMahan on February 25, ltSl, did order the Jury contin ued, making the order aa of January- 2. 131. Judge Skipworth contends that the ommissien of such an order in November, brought about the death of the old grand Jury and prerented Its , resurrection. The public's concern lies not in J- the -legal debate between the two Jadgee but in the fact that all In vestigations and Indictments from any grand Jury in tho county are no? at standstill. Eren if made. ; the would be pen to court at- tack In the same means employed by coaasertor Rhea Lu per. for mer state engineer, whose indict ment was quashed by Judge Skip worth. ' McMahan indicated yesterday he would sumnton a new .grand jary for the October term of eix cult-eourt here. ; He favors how ever, the securing of reports from the present so-called grand Jury before that time. A number of county and State offieea have been under inrestlgatlon by that body and the Judge wants the re ports before the fall term. TV. C.

Declaring there . was no such thing as a "good" tax law because all. taxes were impositions upon the people. riaher vigorously " defended ; the new taxes on Incomes and In tangibles as representing; a fairer distribution of the tax burden Where half ot the Income from real estate in this state had . been paid out for taxes, he felt that the necessity was urgent for relieving real estate Of a share of this load. This was the recommenda tion of tho Day tax commission of 10 rears ago; and now real prop erty, had become even more bur densome to its Owners. Tha result was thst lumber.' agriculture and gracing Interests suffered. Seventeen states have adopted tax on Intangibles, aald Mr. Fisher. Oregon's rate he defended as just, and condemned proposals to use the aame rates aa the In come tax law. because that' would let many able to pay escape with very tight tax. As it is- under tho present income tax law to per cent of the people escape pay ing any Income tax. Fisher scored the "pernicious propaganda", that the new tax laws were driving people out of the state or keeping industry from locating here. When the fnll bur den of the tax load is paralysed Oregon' compares very favorably with other states, except some of the southern states where govern ment costs are low. Recently a concern moved from Utah to Portland to carry on manufactur ing and did so- after a' careful study of the tax burdens they would have to assume. .
