Several Cities to Adopt
Business, Occupation Taxes
Snlem, Ore., Feb. 20 U.R)
Several cities throughout the
state indicated today that they
will adopt business and occupa
tion taxes now that the Oregon
supreme court has ruled that
similar taxes imposed by Port
land are constitutional.
Salem city officials predict
ed that the capital city will
adopt ordinances similar to
Portland's to finance municipal
operations.
The Oregon supreme court
ruled Wednesday that Portland's
tax on business and professional
men, estimated to raise $1,900,
000 a year, is constitutional.
The high court held that the
state six per cent constitutional
lax limitation applies only to
property taxes.
Feet Increased
Portland's new taxes were In
the form of 22 ordinances amend
ing the city's license and busi
ness code. Half of the new ordi
nances increase existing license
fees on certain businesses and
occupations. Some of the others
create new classifications, such
as retail merchants, wholesale
merchants, manufacturers and
food processors, and levy license
fees on a basis of percentage of

ficials seeking -to have the 22
ordinances declared unconstitu

James W. Crawford of Multno
mah county found It constitu
tional and Garbade and Bovnton
appealed to the supreme court.
in us ruling Wednesday the su

nomah county court.
As an indication of the wide
spread and active interest among
Oregon municipalities in the
case, several city attorneys filed
a brief as "friend of the court"
in support of Portland s conten
tion that the ordinances are con
stitutional. Among the city attorneys fil

In an ODinlon written bv Jus

court held:
The city council. In enacting
the license and business code
and the 22 ordinances amenda
tory thereof, was not exceeding
its authority. There is conferred
bv the citv charter on the coun
cil 'power and authority, sub
ject to the provisions, limitations'
contained in tne cnarter, to
'grant licenses with the object
of raising revenue or of regula

the Portland city charter and
are not violative of the Oregon
constitution."
Nothing In Record
rne ruling concluded:
"There is nothing In the rec
ord before this court which
would justify us in holding that
the license tax imposed upon
various classes of businesses,
professions, trades and callings,
is in violation or. me equai pro
