Court Upholds Voter Change InTax Base J The Oregon supreme, court ruled Wednesday that voters in any local taxing district can establish. a new tax base under a 1992 "constitu tional 'amendment--. -: -The decision-held that the voters of- Mulnomah County school- dis trict No.: 1 had the 'right to authorize- a tax Vvy of $11,704,644 at a special election May 21,' 1954. The suit was brought ' by the school' directors against the -tax supervising and conservation com mission of Multnomah County. The tax. supervising commission argued that the; district couldn't levy a tax of more than $11,190,000 plus - six per cent This commis sion pointed to the constitutional provision that tax levies cant ex ceed the, highest levy tuning the preceding three-year- period plus 6 per cent, . -.. But the supreme court: in a de cision by Justice Earl C. Latour- ette, said that the 1932 amendment allows the people to vote them selves a new tax base' ';.' The tax supervising commission contended that this 1932 amend ment was ambiguous and unclear. The decision-which upheld Cir cuit Court Judge Lowell Mundorff of Multnomah County, will have far-reaching - effects on many school districts. ; : It ; means that these districts, which now are forced to have an nual special elections to get money for their budgets, now will be able to adopt higher tax bases, and thus make the special budget elections unnecessary. r Springfield Votes Today on Recall of 2 City Coiincilmen SPRINGFIELD, Ore.

Stedmond left aH but $5,000 of his estate to his good friends, the Donohues. The estate attorney esti mated the Donohues will get about $300,000 after all taxes are paid.
