SOME MOOTED O.UESTIOKS.
The Laws Governing the Axsessuient of
Property and Collection of Taxes. When
Is the Coanty Liable to the State?
Salem Statesman.
The dieouflsioa preoipirated by tlie
admission of Sheriff Sears of Multnomah
oounty as to bis own practice while
assessor and his oharge that all other
Oregon assessors did the same has
oaused an investigation ol the laws
covering the matter of state taxes, bow
and when paid and all points relative
thereto. This investigation has re
vealed some conflicts in the apparent
intent of the law, and some glaring
injustices to the several counties to
which one section of .he law applies
Sheriff Sears says the practice of
assessors has been to withhold a certain
amount of property from the enrollment
until after the state levy has been made
and then band the list of hidden property
to the sheriff to be assessed by the
latter, thus insuring the oounty against
loss resulting from the payment of state
taxes that may never be collected, or
that may be remitted for some errjr in
assessment. This reveals a system of
dishonest aotlous in one oounty at least,
for the purpose of "playing even," and
in one sense the oounty is not to blame.
The censure belongs with the state law
which forces the counties to do that or
suffer heavy loss. Assessor Coffey of
this county denies having followed the
Sears plan and thinks very few of the
assessors of the state have done so, but
the aim of this artiole is to call attention
to the laws of the state and to begin
euob a disoussion as will result io their
being properly understood and in hav
ing some of tbeir irregularities removed.
A prominent attorney of Salem gave it
as bis opinion to a reporter of the
Statesman that under the not of the
legiblature of 1893, known as H. B. 313,
an aot "to eeoure a more convenient
mode of making assessments and of
collecting and paying taxes, and to
amend Seo. 2794 of the oode," the state
tax consists of so many mills upon every
dollar of the valnation of each county,
to be appropriated to the state fund
when colleoted the same as other taxes
are apportioned, and that it makes no
difference whether the assessment is
made by the assessor or the sheriff,
before or after the state levy is made;
that so many mills from all go into the
state fund. This view would oarry with
it the view that state taxes are payable
to the state only bo fast bb they may be
colleoted by the counties and that the
state would Iobs its proportionate share
of unoollectible taxes, rebates, eto.
These views are in conlliot with two
other existing laws. One is Seo. 2813 of
Hill's code, whioh says that "On or
before the first February ia eaoh year,
the several county treasurers in this state
shall pay over to the state treasurer, iu
gold and silver coin, the amount of state
taxescbarged to their respeotiveoounties,
which tax shall be paid out of the first
o.' such moneys oollected aud paid to the
oounty treasurer." (Wasco, Umatilla,
Baker, Union, Grant, Jackson, Ooos,
Garry and J .sephine counties have until
the first Monday in April). The other
law is aot of the legislature of 1803,
relative to state revenue and amending
Sec. 2790 of the oode. This says in
speaking of the st'tte tax that it "shall
be apportioned among the several
counties of this state according to the
total amouut of taxable property in eaob
and shall be levied snd oollected in
each of said counties iu the manner
other taxes are levied and oollected, and
paid over to the state treasurer. It any
oounty shall fail to pay to the state
treasurer its entire apportionment of
said taxes within 30 days afier the date
prescribed therefor ia seotioo 2813 of
Hill's code, the unpaid balanoe shall be
deemed delinquent, and sHid county
shall pay interest thereon from snob
tlatf uutil paid, but the payment a'
BUOli intareit shall not relieve the ouauty
treasurer of any oounty from any penalty
impoted by law for failure to pay said
! tales aa required by law."
Tbig act ii apparently iu oontl'ct with
the first aot of 1833 qmtd above and o
is the Bectio'b of the oode a'ready referred
to, but tbe courts might bold that both
wre repealed at least by implication by
H. B, &43 of the aots of 1893, which re
peals "ail lai ia conflict bwtxitb."

state's offioe one day later than the aot
relative to state revenue and amending
Seo. 2790 of the code.
But if all the laws quoted are still in
loroe, then the oounlies are foroed to
pay interest on money which it is im
possible for them to collect and pay
over in tbe prescribed period the first
Monday in March, beoause there is com
paratively little taxes paid in at tbat
time and besides, the state law con
templates the apportionment of tbe
sohool fuud the third Monday in April
and sufficient tax money must be re
tained for that purpose. The law whioh
oharges up interest against the oounlies
on acoount of taxes that cannot be col
lected in time to avoid tbe delinquency
does Dot seem to be just aud right.
Tbe attorney who holds that tbe state
tax is payable to the state fund in the
same time aud manner as other taxes
are returned to their respective funds
has a view which appeals to common
sense if not to law: and such is the
statute law and the practice in other
states. In several of tbe other states
the state gets its monev when oollected ,
also receives whatever delinquent
interest may he oollected, also the tax
on additional assessments, (which are
reported regularly), and loses nou-ool-lectible,
rebate or illegal taxes, the Barue
as other fmi'l. Under such a system
there is no premium on any oounty
swindling the stat" or vice versa.
fState Treasurer Metecban has sent
the officials of Morrow oourty a bill for
interest which Mr. Metsohan claims is
due from the oounty tn tbe state. Ed.

Should be nee I in attempting to cure
that very disagreeable disease, catarrh.
As catarrh originates iu impurities in

permanent good. The common sense

preparation superior to Hood's Hnrsnpa-
