o Court Tax Test
First Candidate
No Property Tax
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem. At last the controversy
between the state tax commission
and the Multnomah county assessor
has found its way into the courts.
In taking original jurisdiction in
this case the supreme court has rec
ognized its state wide importance.
While the issue directly involved in
the appeal of the tax commission to
the courts is that of enforcement of
its orders to the county assessor back
of this issue is the legality of the
"varied ratio" system of assessment
against which the commission has
ruled.
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.
Washington county public owner
ship advocates are going to make
another try for a Peoples' Utility
district. Preliminary petitions were
filed with State Engineer Stricklin
by a group headed by Frances M.
Coon and Lyman Ross. The proposed
district will include all of the rural 1
area in the county. Forest Grove

plant has been eliminated as also

perintendent of public instruction.
Higher pay offers in other lines have
lured many away from the teaching
profession, Putnam points out. Some
districts have found it necessary to
increase salaries while others are
offering bonus pay for those who
stay on the job.
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.
With cash receipts for his deoart-
ment totalling $1,201,458 for the first
nine months, Ormond R. Bean, pub-
hi; uiinues commissioner predicts
that this will be the biggest year in
the history of the department. In
creased demand for lumber, increas
ed log hauling and greater activity
generally among truck operators ac
counts for the increase in revenues
of the department, Bean said.
