EMERGENCY TAX MEASURE
LEAVES ABOUT SAME AP
PORTIONMENT. Salem, Jan. 28 The emergency tax
bill authorizes the governor, secre
tary of state and treasurer to act
as a board of equalization, with
power to apportion the state tax
among the counties according to
what they find to be the true valua
tion. The effect of the measure will
be to make practically no change in
the proportion of state tax each
county will pay.
Salem Govenor Chamberlain sent
o the legislature Tuesday morning a
tpeclal message advising Immediate
enactment of an emergency tax law
to take the place of the act declared
unconstitutional. In speaking of the
matter the governor said that in his
opinion it would be necessary for
the legislature to frame and pass a
5111 either making a levy or author
zing the state board of apportion
nent to make a levy for the year
1909.
It is evident from this that Mult
lomah, Columbia, Tillamook, Doug
hs, Jackson, Josephine, Clackamas,
Coos and Wallowa must pay the
reatly increased tax which will be
ipportloned under the uniform levy
based upon assessed valuations. The
burden will fall upon the counties as
I whole, for the state tax is a debt
from the county to the state.
With 11 dissenting votes, members
jf the Clackamas county delegation
m the house succeeded Tuesday In
aavlng passed their bill providing
for an eight-hour workday in all
manufacturing, mechanical, mercan
tile and other establishments operat
ing continuously 24 hours.
Bills creating fully 200 new Jobs,
many of them on fat pay, have Wun
Introduced in the legislature, load
ing up taxpayers with trore than $.l,
100,000 salaries and expenses for
ike ensuing two years. -.
Representative Hughes, of Marion,
has Introduced in the house a bill
making It possible for every county
of the state to make its treasurer tax
jolloctor.

get out leaflets to be used as a
letter of enclosure, emphasizing ths
wonderfully low colonist rates from
the East they are awaiting an
nouncement of Atlantic coast and
other points not yet decided by the
passenger association of the trans
