Want it lyoomln Vcrnus County Huntniuctl No Hucli Tiling n.i n "Griiernl Fund; No Old War rnnlH L'iiuild for Present. Tho decision of Judgo Calkins on tho demurrer submitted in the case of Ward & Loomla vs. It. II. Hunnoll, ct ul, has just been received. In this decision tho court holds that since tho act of 1913, known na tho budget law, thero Is no such thing as a "gen oral fund," except tho total sum of all taxes levied under the budget act. In passing tho court says: "As I un derstand tho present budget law, it Is the purpono to create a fund in ad vance each year for the payment of ull prospective expenses, and thero can bo no such thing as a general fund. In the old sense that all taxes went Into a general fund and the old est outstanding warrants wore paid therefrom." Tho law governing tho payment of warrnnts by tho county treasurer, which has never been amended or repealed, prevides: Section 2961 County orders shall ho redeemed by tho trcusurer accord ing to the priority of tho tlmo of pre sentment, etc. This presents a conflict which will bo of keenest Intorcst to holders of county warrnnts. At present old war rants havo been called up to July 19, 1913, and thnso Issuod sinco that date nro still outstanding and unpaid. The treasurer has up to dato boen paying warrants in accordance with the pro visions of section 2961; that is, in tho order ns they were registered upon his protest register. Tho, funds levlod each year sinco tho passago'nt tho budgot law have boon used to pay tho oldest warrants. If thoso funds woro special and were to.be UBCd only In payment of warrants-Issuod during tho subsequent curront years, tho quostlon arises whether or not tho holders of warrant Issued subsequent to the passage of the bud got law can socuro tholr money from any other fund. Tho special funds to pay them have been raised and paid out. Can tho County Court now make anotbor levy for this purpose? How is the old Indebtedness to be taken care of? Can the treasurer, when ho has funds on hand, refuse to I pay tho oldest warrant registered with him and pay a current warrant Issued at a much later date? Will this be a discrimination between two creditors of tho county? These and other questions arise as one consid ers the financial affairs of the coun ty nnd thero will be more "or less dif ference of opinion until some Anal de cision Is received from the Supreme Court upon the quostlon, Tho whole theory of tho law is that 1 thero will bo no warrant Indebted ness, as any and all dobts In excess of 5,000" nro prohibited by tho Consti tution of tho state; but the fact re mains, however, that many counties of the state .among them Klamath County) have far exceeded this limit, and some method will havo to. bo pro vided to tako care of this Indebtedness, When Judgo Calkins' doclslon was wherein ho held that there 'can ho no such thing ns a general fund, In the old souno that ull taxes went Into a general fund, and tho oldest out standing warrants woro paid there from,' II is suggested that you now keop your accounts and funds separ ate to conform to the Items of antici pated expenses as set forth in tho budgot as prepared and advertised by tho County Court. "Tho budget shows under separate heads the amounts required for each department of tho county govern ment, county office or officer for each county Improvement, maintenance of county buildings, structure or institu tion, salary of each county offcer or employe, including those whoso sal aries are fixed by statute. "Instead of reciting that payment Is to bo mado out of tho general fund, vouchers and warrants should now re cite that payment should bo made out of tho separate fund or Item applica ble." This, of course, means an end to tho payment of tho old warrants, at least for the present. It places the county on a cash basis, as all of tho money now in the hands of the. treas urer, and that to come. In by reason of the collection of taxes, will bo used In tho payment of tho expenses speci fied In the budget. This year thero will be levied a tax .which will pro vide a fund of $50,000 for the pay ment of old warrants, and this money, of course, will bo used only for this purpose. The change will cause a, little hardship on the county officials fo- ? short time, but this will soon be removed and matters will proceed In the usual way.
