SALEM, Ore., April 10 The Salem
Capital Journal will today state that
it has Keen definitely ascertained that
nctive "steps will not be taken for en
forcement of the new tobacco, tax lawc
until it is known to a certainty that
the law will not be held lip by the
referendum.
From an apparently authentic
source, which cannot be divulged, it
is learned that the law will probably
be attacked iu th courts. It is said
a defective title to the act will prob
ably be nmong the allegations, while
other points-will also be urged against
the legality of the measure.
. Effective- May 28.
The effective date of the act is Mny
28, but there is provision that it shall
not be applied until 30 days after that
date. If the referendum is applied the
net could not be applied until after the.
general election In 1026.
The net fixes n direct tax on cig
arettes, cigarette pipers, wrappers.
tubes, .smoking tolincco and snuff nnd
also provides a license of ?2 for deal
ers, half of which goes to the county
and half to the state.
Local Enforcement.
Locally the law is enforced by the
county courts and licenses are Issued
by the county clerk.
The net makes no provision for the
expense of administering thft law, nl
though an appropriation is made for
the state treasurer for that purpose
Since no budget allowance was made
for the purpose by ccuntiea, it will be
necessary for county clerks to draw
on the general fund of the county.
