Proposed Repeal of State
Levy Faces Attack in
Courts, Believed
By SHELDON F. SACKETT
The state legislature, called in
special session to provide relief
for Oregon's 57,000 unemployed
and to provide new taxes in lieu
of an otherwise inevitable $2,500,
000 levy on real property, may
adjourn late tonight. It may not.
No representative or senator late
Friday night was certain about it.
For that matter there haa Wn
four days of continued uncertain
ty, days of mulling about with no
accomplishments.
Legal Necessity for
Levy Being Ignored
Three salient facts in the state
financial condition have escaped
iae aiienuon of the majority of
members. These facts are-
1. As long as the state haa de
ficit, a tax levy Is imperative
whether current biennial expendi
tures are $1 or $10,000,000.
z. state law and the state con
stitution make such a levy on
property mandatory unless other
revenues are provided.
8. Repeal of the levy and ad
journment of the session will be
laughing In the hurricane's
mouth.
Ignoring these rather obvious
facts, legislators are trying every
conceivable method to aToid thtlr
plain duty.
They are trying to whack a bud
get already reduced 40 per cent
and a budget which if reduced 9
per cent would not obviate the
problem of funding the incurred
and outstanding state deficit.
Fearing banks will no longer
provide cash for the state, the
house yesterday authoriied the
Issuance of an unlimited amontt
of state warrants assuming that
securities the bank3 would not
take would readily circulate
among citizens generally.
Bill for Repeal of
Property Tax Filed
As an added token of legisla
tive wavering, a bill will come up
on third reading In the house to
day calling for repeal of the 3
mlll levy on property made by tba
state tax commission in December,
1932.
It was confidently predicted
yesterdsy the 0 representatI-
and 30 senators would then pack
their grips, hurry home for re
joicing with the local folks over
the way the state's problems were
solved and come back here Mon
day for the regular session.
In the first days of the ses
sion legislators, convinced bnd
get slashing and balancing was
"out" were Ulfewise skeptical
about the existence ot a state
deficit, thinking this a bogey
man concocted in soma fanciful
moment by state officials. But
when they searched Mr. Hoss's
records and found the deficit,
cold,' stark, unresisting, would
total $3,900,000, as of December
31, 1932, the legislators agreed
the deficit was there but
