"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repealed, prevides: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.
