Vnder tho old law state and unty levies on the assessment of would be made some time In rary, 1904. But tho act of 1903 Fred to nbovo goes Into effect BWiauary l 1U04, and repeals tno sec- under which levies on the assose- ient qf 1903 would be made. Henco will then be no law authorizing rSVery until July 1, 1904, and that on assessment of 1904. Tho Injunc tion .asked is to restrain the author!-1 lies irom maKing any levy on tfto assessment of 1903. for the reason that the section authorizing the levy will have become obsolote before the time arrives for making the levy. The old law made assessments on the ba sis of ownership Mirch first. The new law mokes it on th basis of own ership January fllrst. The act of 1903 is au absolute re peal of the old Oregon assassin. nt and taxation law. If the court so holds the countlos will be unable to proceed to make use of the assess ment rolls of 1903 for their lovy of taxes, for nil tho provisions for levy ing and collecting taxes will have boon superceded by tho new system which goos Into effect on January 1 1904. No revenuoa can be received by .he stnte, countlos, cities, towns and school districts at the usual time In the tho spring of 1904. All will bo without public funds until the fall of that year. This will produco a harvest for the warrant dealers, nsj tho Intcrost bearing warrants will have to bo Issued, and In many cases whero tho constitutional limit has been ex ceeded such warrants will be Illegal and void, and In many enses thoro will bo defaults in payment of Interest on existing Indebtedness. This will bo the predicament of Oregon If the court takes the view that tho act of 1903 absolutely supercedes tho previous law on January first. Tho strict In terpretation of tho now law moans tho loss of millions of revenues as tho taxes for the yoar 1903 must ro main wholly uncollected The state be plunged In debt. A liboral con struction of the tnx laws may hold that it wns simply tho Intention of tho loglslnturo that a new system of aisessmont and taxation be set In motion without displacing the old one, and that nil pending tax pro ceedings be carried to completion by the state and county olllclnls.

THE CIGAR that's proud of its name, because its quality is always the same The only smoke that never changes in aroma or in price. The Largest Selling Brand of Cigars in the World IheVand U the Smoktr'i Trotution B22E ENA0FTHE NEW YORK CAMPAIGN The Most Spectacular Election Eyer Held There Contest Said to Be Close Though Low's Friends Feel Confident of His Election New York, Oct. 30. Tho municipal political campaign will praotlcally end tomorrow night and Interest in Tuesday's election Is at fovor heat. Whllo the issues Involved in tho con tost are puroly local the result can not but be of national Interest nnd Iroportanco. A clean and honest city government Is in reality the only Issue Involved and tho qusctlon is the same that has bcon fought out or Is being fought out In many of tho chief mu nicipalities of tho country. The Fusion government, composed of both Democrats and Republicans, is desirous of nn opportunity to con tinue tho work of roform, while Tam many, tho controlling clemont in tho Democratic party of New York City, Is lighting with might and main to re gain control of the city government which it lost two years ago on tho election of Mayor Law nnd tho Fusion ticket. In the present contest the Republi cans nnd tho CitlMns' Union, tho latter organization suing composed of the Independents of both parties and the Bwom enemy of Tammany, nomi nated the following, fusjon ticket. For Mayor, Steh Low, for controller E. M. Grout, nnd fjjr president of tho board of aldermen, Charlos V. Fornos. Thoy nro tho present In cumbents of tho offlcoa named. Low Is n republican and Grout and Fornos democrats. Grout and Fornos list ened to tho siren volco of Tammany and consented1 to bo Indorsed by It. Tammany nominated Grout nnd the Citizens' Union and tho Re publicans promptly held new con ventions nnd named mon to succeed Grout and Fornos on tho fusion" ticket. It beenmo apparent early in tho summer that tho Tammany leader, Charlos R Murphy, Intended to nomi nate. George D. McGlolIan, his good friend and son of tho famous gonoral of tho civil war, for mayor. Thoro was an outcry from "Doss" McLaugh lin, of the Kings County Democracy, who declared McCIellan would not do, and suggested several Brooklyn men. The retort made from Tanv manywas that Brooklyn hud Its share already. McLaughlin did not see It that way, nnd insisted that some other man thnn McOlollan be named. The controversy got acrimonious and McCIellan charged Murphy with using methods of the Twood regime. Mc Laughlin has contlnuod stubborn throughout the campaign and it Is generally conceded that Tammany will suffer seriously nt the polls as a result of the disaffection of the Brook lyn Democrats. The revolt of District Attorney Jerome against Mayor Low threatened ill t i for a time to produco an - analogous situation in the Fusion ranks. Mr. Jerome, however; came around all right after Low had been renominated aiul, during the., past two or thrco weeks has been one of tho most zealous campaigners of the Fusion ticket. Ex-Chief of Potcc William Dowry's Indopondont candidacy for mayor has contributed the comedy of tho cam paign. Everyone makes light of his candldncy excopt tho rotund nnd humorous Mr. Devory hlmsolf, who affects to foroseo his own triumph nnd tho dostruotlon of Tammany which organization Incurred his wrath by refusing to recognize his claims to district leadership. Charles F. Mur phy, while pretending to regard Devory's candldncy with contempt, Is sooretly working hard t6 swamp the former chief of police for ha knows that ovory voto Dovory polls will be drawn from the Tammany ranks. Tammany has uponly charged the Fusion forces with financing the Devory campaign. In tholr conduct of the cnmpalgn tho FuBlonlsts have rolled chiefly on tho public Improvements nnd other good works accomplished during tho two yoars of tholr administration to con tinue them In power. Tho "red light" district tins boeu obliterated and thoy declnro that tho city nevor buforo was so frco from gamblers nnd the dis reputable element ganorally ns it Is todayv Tho rally cry of tholr fight has boon "Vote for Low nnd keep tho grafters out." George II. McColInn says that if elected mayor he will administer the nffalrs of the city honestly nnd fear leeely and will not be tho tool of Richard Crocker or of Tnmmnny Hall. The city, he says, Is normally Demo cratic and should have a Democratic govornment. He charges the reform administration with gross oxtrnvn-gnnce- In the management of the city's finances nnd says that ns t. result of Its negllgeuco thousands of children are unable to find accomo dation In the public schools. In regard to tho chief issue of the contost, howovor. Tammany has ston lit to any little. Tho Fuslonlsta point to tho conviction of "Al" AdnniB, tho polioy king, the closing of Richard Canfiold's palatial gambling establish ment and tho 'oxtormlnatlou of tho system, of organized corruption which disgrncod tho pollco dopnrtmont un der Tnmmnny as triumphs of tho Low administration. In refutation of thoso charges Tnmmnny hns boon unablo to nmlto satisfactory reply oxcopt to mnko profuso promises to be good If returned to powor. WHY SHE LEFT NEW YORK.
