At last the controversy between the state tax commission and the Multnomah county assessor has found its way into the courts.

Attorneys for Tom Watson, the Multnomah county assessor, protest ed against the proposal that the case be taken to the supreme court, in sisting that under an act of 1929 the commission's only recourse was through a petition to the Multnomah county circuit court. Attorneys for the tax commission, on the other hand, contended that the importance of the case and its state wide significance entitled it to a review by the state's highest tri bunal and a speedy determination.

Small industries throughout the nation are to share in the defense boom, according to Governor Snra- gue who returned Sunday from a civilian defense conference at San Francisco at which he presided. Ar my officials attending the conference announced that henceforth defense contracts would be localized rather than concentrated through Wash- ington and that small industries will be utilized to the limit in speeding up the drive for guns, tanks and airplanes.
