Following the budget prepared by the city recorder uud Col. Howard A. Hanson, of Seattle, special counsel for the city, the budget committee yesterday afternoon fixed the city tax levy for 1917 at 14.6 mills. This levy Is Intended to ralso $58,000 on an assessed valuation or $3, 968,750.

The Houthcro I'ncilic Kuilroad com). any and all other corporations and indi viduals interested with it in the Ore-Kou-fnliforuiu laud tyrant lands, have refused to pay, and have pmtcsled against the I'liited StnteH paying, the back taxes, prnaltic and accrued costs due the various land grant counties of Oregon and Washington for the years III III, 11111 and lillfi. They contend that during these years the lands should not have been on the tax rolls and that if the government makes payments, ns provided under the f'erris-C'h.'tmbeilaiii grant land bill, it will do so voluntarily and without light to reimburse itself from the company, or its associates. . (founds Are Set Forth. The refusal is incorporated in, a letter sent to Louis 1,. Sharp by the land department of the Southern Pa cific company at San Francisco, un der date of November '21, and scls out in detail the grounds upon which the company bases its position, i -The . company 'claims that "no power rests iu the congress of Ihe or maintain salaries, which accounts for the largo amount asked for. In the treasurer's department $1725 was estimated and allowed, $1500 of this amount representing the salary of the treasurer. Supplies and publishing makes up the balance. Tho police department waB ullow ed $3183, tho major portion of which sum represents salaries of the three policemen, police Judge, and extra policemen. An Incomo of $4,10 from fines Is estimated for this depart ment. Other Department!. Among tho other departments inu 'largest allowances were for fire de partment, $8937, most "or which la for salaries; Btrcet department, $11, 3D8; light department, $7670; bond ed indebtedness $14,500. ; No allowance was made for tho water department, this branch show ing a small surplus. The general city levy Is 10 mills, the library .09 mills and bonds, prin cipal and Intercut 3.7 mills. Tho adoption of the budget as out lined by Colonel HniiBcn, makes no provision for the Medynskl bonding scheme, which will come up at the lection as an Initiative measure. According to Colonel Hansen and members of the city council and busi ness men in general, the financial wolforo of Medford demands that tho Modynski scheme bo defouted, and to this end a systematic campaign will bo waged. KsUnialwl. a revestmeut of the title to the rail road company's property in the man ner attempted by said act (the grant land bill); that in the event the t'nit ed States pays any (axes on any lands granted, such payments will he Voluntary payments by the 1'uited States of taxes upon another's prop, erty, and will not he recoverable by the United Stales from the owner of such property." It shows that the decree enlered by dudgc Wolvorton, July 1, l!li:i, for feiting the grant lauds to the United Slates and revesting" title in the United Stales, was reversed by Ihe supreme court of the United States, June '21, 1015. C lalm Counties nro Powerless. From this it argues that no taxes can he levied by the stale or coun ties on the grant lands for (he period between .Inly 1, mi:i, and June 21, 101."), and that the counties cannot enforce the collection of taxes for that period. The letter also states that the com pany "has or may have other lawful reasons why (lie (axes for the years HUH, llUtniid 1015 should not be paid, either iu wijole or in part," and that it "reserves to itself the right to advance and rely upon such other reasons at such time or times as it may desire."
