r SALEM, June 17. (AP) An order
of the court enjoining the payment
of further Attorney fwa to Barnett H
Goldstein a special prosecutor in the
erlea of canes mralnat holding com
pntfa and building and lon asso
ciations precipitated by State Cor
poration Commissioner Jamea W.
Mott, and also to enjoin the pay
ment of fees to various persona who
serred as Investigators assisting Gold
stein, Is demanded In a suit filed In
circuit court today. Contention of the
complaint is that the claims axe with
out authority of law.
' The plaintiff In the suit la Ira 8.
Bergsvik, Salem attorney, and de-
rend ants are Secretary of State Hal S.
. Hoss and Rufua Ho! man. state treas
urer. The special Investlgatore who

Not Commission Function
; The contention of Illegality of the
claims la that the course of Investi
gation, which Involved much travel
ing about the state to Interview wit
nesses and line them up for the prose
cution which took place in the cir
cuit at Dallas and other place waa
not a proper function of the state
corporation commission, and that
Mott aa commisfltoner had no au
thority to autiiorlBB this expenditure
of funda from the corporation de
partment's account In the general
fund of the state.
The complaint does not aay so In
plain terms, but Its implication Is
that since Goldstein waa acting as a
pavtl prosecuting attorney and as
an assistant attorney-general, the
function performed by him and his
aaalstant were duties of the offices
of district attorney and attorney
general. Big Sum Paid Is Claim
The three suit in which Goldstein
was employed were the Empire Hold
ing company case which was tried at
Dallas, the case of the State against
Johnston and De grace, Involving the
Prudential Savings & Loan associa
tion, and the case of the State against
Chad wick and Welcome, a Deschutes
county case. He was assisted by Smith
and Ooagrove, It la claimed. In the
Empire case; by Brown In the John
ston and Degraoe case.
No specific sum of money are giv
en in the complaint. But It Is said
that the records show that approxi
mately 99000 in attorney fees has al
ready been paid to Goldstein from
Copies of an endorsement by Gov
ernor Meier of three Initatlvs meas
ures sponsored by the Oregon Tax
payers' Equalization and Conserva
tion league have been received In
Medford. The endorsement follows
"X earnestly endorse the three Ini
tiative measures sponsored by the
Oregon Taxpayers' Equalization and
Conservation league for submission to
the people at the election to be held
on November 8, 1932. These proposi
tions are designated by abort ballot
title as follows:
"Tax and debt control constitution
al amendment;
"Tax supervision and conservation
bill:
"Personal Income tax law amend
ment bill.
"The first would add a new sec
tion to the Oregon constitution, of
the nature of an enabling act. bring
ing all taxing and debt Incurring
powers under Umltatlone and control
to be provided -by general law.
"The second measure Is an Im
proved Oregon plan developed from
the tax supervision and conservation
plan In effective operation in Mult
nomah county during the last twelve
years. This measure would provide
for a non-salaried board of three real
dent citizens and taxpayers In eaqh
county, empowered to approve or dis
approve Items In all local budgets
and to make advisory recommenda
tions on propositions to levy special
taxes and to Incur Indebtedness;; it
also provided that appeal may be
taken to the state tax commission
for review of any order of a county
board, either by the levying body or
by ten Interested taxpayera.
The third measure would amend
certain sections of the personal in
come tax law, making the same a
more effective revenue producer and
a better equalizer of the general tax
burden. All additional revenue so
derived will offset and reduce, to the
same extent, direct tax levtes on
property for state puposues.
These three measures have been
carefully prepared and embody a
constructive program for the reduc
tion and equalization of taxes, for ;
both state and local purposes. I am j
pleased to have the opportunity of
signing the petitions for the submls- I
alon of t,heee measures and heartily
commend them to my fellow cltl
sens."
