Impounded Fund Will Be
Distributed to Fairs
The $115,051.68, impounded ed over to State Trasurer Sig
when the City of Portland at- Unander for distribution to
tempted to impose a license the Oregon State Fair and to
tax on pari mutuel wagering the various fairs and livestock
at the dog races, will be turn- shows.
This Is In line with an opin
ion of Attorney General Rob
ert Y. Thornton who declared
that the money does not es
cheat to the common school
fund of the state, as was con
tended by some persons.
Distribution of this fund to
the State Fair and to county
fairs was advocated by Cecil
Edwards, slate racing steward,
speaking before the Oregon
Fairs Association meeting in
Salem recently.
Thornton held that the
money withheld by the Mult
nomah Kennel Club for the
payment of the tax constituted
an "underpayment" within the
meaning of the pari mutuel
wagering law. This law pro
vides that the "amount of such
underpayment shall revert
and belong to the state and be
paid to the Oregon racing com
mission and become a part of
its funds and shall not be re
tained by the licensee under
whose license such race is
held" Thornton ruled."
Thornton said that the rac
ing commission Is entitled to
maintain a working fund for
current expenses which shall
not at any time exceed $5,000.
The balance Thornton said, Is
required to be paid into the
state treasury for distribution
to the various fairs and live
stock shows authorized by the
legislature In an act passed In
1947.
In refuting the contention
that the money constituted an
escheat to the state under the
provisions of Article VIII of
the constitution, Thornton
said:

"That amount cannot be said
