I. lathaAetloa II magna Collaet the I- fefvatea liellaqarat State Taiaa ' V Oilier Ueelaloaa. 1' ; In the supreme court, yesterday, seven cases, heretofore argued pn ap Ieal, were decided. The most interest ing and important ot these cases was that' of the State of Oregon, appellant, vs. Marion county, respondent, an ap peal from the judgment of Hon. Geo. II.' .Burnett, judge of the state circuit court for Marion county. The case is better known as the delinquent tax case, the interest on delinquent ; state taxes being involved, and'( it was, de cided in favor of the respondent Mari on icouhty, tle decision of the lower court being upheld. The opinion in the case was written by Associate Justice K. S. Bean, and is as follows: - , "This is an action to recover inter est upon state taxes apportioned to the , defendant county for the years 1895, ! and 1S97, for the time they re mained unpaid after the first day of March 'of toe succeeding year..). The case was tried upon a stipulation of fact, from which it appears that the county assessment . roll for the year ittos was placed in the hands of the sheriff, for the collection of the taxes in March. i&A which was the earliest dale possible, and that as fast as the taxjes were collected they were paid by i the sheriff to the treaejurer,' and by such officer -immediately paid over to thj plaintiff until the whole amount of thj- state tax was paid, and it is agreed mat the facts are substantially the same foii the years 1806 and 1K97. The court bcow held that the plaintiff could not recover interest on the deferred pay ments, because it was impossible for the defendant - to collect the. morfey, with ' which to pay the" state tax within the time required by the law then in force. t'Section 2813 of the statute, at the tiitie this cause of action accrued, pro vided that, on or before the first, Mon day of February in each year, the, coun ty j treasurers of certain counties in cluding TVlarion should pay to the state treasurer the amount of the state taxes Heart Weakness . tb haarl U tba aoort vital orgaa ' the bed?.

And section 2790, as amended in 1893, (laws ot 189J. pi 47) provides that, if any county' shall fail to pay its entire tax withinj: thirty days from the date pre scribed in section 2813. the unpaid bal ance shall become delinquent and the county shall oay-interest thereon from such date until paid. , At the time of the enactment of section 2813, the law required the. tax levy to be made by the county court at its September term in each year, and the county clerk, within fifteen days thereafter, to deliver to the sheriff a transcript of the assess ment roll,; with a warrant attached commanding him to collect the . taxes charged thereon. Title 4, cfi. 53, laws 1004. the sheriff, therefore had four months at least in which to collect suf ficient money , with which, to pay the state l tax before it became delinquent. Since that time the revenue law has been so modified and changed by the amend ment of particultr sections, apparently without regard to other provisions of the law, that it is now impossible for the assessment roll to reach the hands of the sheriff before the. 15th of Febru ary, and. therefore, in the very nature of things, he is unable to collect any moneys out of which the state taxes are to be paid, prior to the time they be come due under section 2813. , I "Thus in 1891 the legislature created a -state board of equalization, and re quired it to assemble at the state capitol on the first Tuesday in December and remain in session not more than thirty days. Within five days after its ad journment, the secretary of state was required by the act (since repealed) to report the action of the board to the several county clerks, and they were required to add to or deduct from each tract or lot of real property; and each Class of personal property the required per centum on the valuation thereof as it stood after being equalized by the county court. Under this law, it was Impossible for the county clerk to com plete assessment roll until late in Janu ary, if. indeed, by that time.. -But in 1803. after the passage of the law re quiring the counties to pay interest on delinquent state taxes, and at the same sessiojti. the legislature passed an act to secure a more convenient mode of assessments and of collecting and pay ing taxes, and -to amend section 2704 (of the statute (laws 1893, p. 116) which provides that all taxes, levied by the school districts, incorporated towns or cities, shall be upon the valuation of the . property as -shown by the county assessment roll. And it is made the duty of each school district, incorpor ated town or city, to notify the clerk of the county court of the1 tax levy made by it on or. before the first day of February in ea,ch year, and after all such notices have been received it is made the duty of the county cleric .to extend the tax so levied upon the tax roll, and it. shall be collected by the same officer, in the same manner, and at the same time that the taxes for county purposes are collected. By section 2704, as so amended, it is made the duty of the county clerk of each county, within fifteen days after the apportionment of the taxes, to make a certificate of the several amounts apportioned to be assessed upon the taxable property in his 'county for the state, connty, general and special, school, military, university, and town, city or other purposes, and deliver the same to : the sheriff, together, with a warrant commanding him to collect Such taxes and turn, over the money on or before the first Monday of April next ensuing: Laws 1893, p. 116, "It is manifest from these several provisions of the law that- it is a phy 'sical impossibility for the tax roll to be prepared and the taxes extended thereon until after the first day of Feb ruary, of each year, and, therefore, it is impossible for the sheriff to collect any -money prior to that time out of which the state tax can be paid. Sec tkm 2813, : as originally enacted con templated that the county should have a reasonable time after the completion of the assessment roll and its delivery to the. sheriff : to collect the money with which to pay" the state taxes, and while it is, perhaps, competent for the legislature - to require the counties to pay their5 portion of the state tax" on or before a certain fixed time, without re gard to the collection thereof,-it was evidently not the purpose or intent of that section to require them to do So. At the time it was passed the counties pad ample time in which to make the collection?, and- it provides that the' payment shall be made out of the first moneys collected. The legislature, by subsequently changing and amending the law so that it was impossible for the co.m ties to make collection within the time specified, rendered the re quirements of sectioa- 2813, before the (amendment of 1899 (laws of 1809, p. 85) in this regard nugatory, and the state ought not. therefore, to be permitted to insist that the counties shall pay in terest because of a default which it was impossible for them to avoid on ac count of the action of the state itself.
