and the University ef Oregon defeating
Washington 18. to 0,. Washington claims
to be stronger now than - when the Ore

Attorney Genaral A.: M." Crawford
yesterday rendered an opinion in an-
i ewer .to a question propouadei by State
treasurer J., . Moore, as to whether
the vast estate of the late Simeon G.:
Reed, which- has beerf bequeathed V. bv
tne widow, 'Mrs. Amanda' Seed, to ehar:,
itable institutions, in Oregon aad other
states is subject to , taxation.
r If : this decision atanda,-the state of
Oregon will receive about - $10,000; by
the. terms of the inheritance tax law.
uemg -.ine- xax on 93W,OVQ worth of
property which was bequeathed to for
eign institutions, and the state will lose
the sum f about $132,000 in revenue.
oecauM tn decision is that all mon
eys,; about $200,000 bequeathed to
charitable institutions within the state
of Oregon, : are .n subject to an in
heritance tax. ' ' .
Mrs. Amanda G. Reed died in Call
foraia in May of this year, leaving an
estate valued at $21)0.000. the great
er portion or which consisted of valu
able realestate in Portland.
'This vast v-aiate was built on hr Sim
eon G Reed, a - steamboat ; man, and
pioneer ami public, spirited man of
Portland, and in memory of her de
ceased husband, Mr Reed willed that
an institution of learning be establish

was not to exceed $150,000. and unpli-
ed with an endowment, consist in? of
the residue of the estate,- valued at
about $2,000,000 iMr. Reed made ae

are taxable, includ inz ' $100,000 to a.1
nephew, Martin Winch, who is executor
or the estate;--" The bequests which
are in question are as follows: To the

J cither incorporated or organize! under
the laws of this state, -Therefore the
J benefieiaries not being within this
.state, their location takes the bequests
out of the exemption, and the same are.
in my opinion; subject to the tax." -j
. Jn order to find out whether the other
bequests mentioned are subject to the
tax, it is necessary to find out what
constitutes a benevolent or r&aritable
institution within the meaning of the
act above mentioned.
; Msny eases are reviewed in whfeh it
appears to be' the universal rule that be
quests such as the ninth, fourteenth and
twenty-seventh bequests are legal oub
litf eharities. - The ninth is to the First
Presbyterian church of Portland, Ore-
gon. and our Supreme Court has held

iunk an TCiifriuun corporaiions or oriran-
