the system, to surely break forth in
more virulent form, resulting in total

Holding stata Taxes.

The editor Of this paper having solicit
ed Judge Mariners opinion upon the
subject Of holding back this county's
state tax, amounting TO something like
$4,000, has received the following reply
from him, which will be OF interest TO
our readers. The Judge writes:
"Copy Of paper received containing
marked article, giving the opinion Of
Judge Northup Of Multnomah county,
regarding the payment by the counties
Of state taxes, for which accept my
thanks.
Gillian county court at the March
term discussed this matter and decided
that 1t would be best to call in warrants
from first money collected and pay the
state tax later on. just when this pay
nient should be made will be matter
for consideration and be governed to
some extent by future developments.
AS noted, Judge Northup favors paying
about 10 per cent Of the state tax and
has decided positively that Multnomah
county will not pay the balance.
1t so happened that was in Portland
the 9th Of this month and made it con-
venient TO call on Judge Northup, with
view Of getting the opinion of the
county court OF Multnomah county on
this subject. / found that both the
Judge and commissioners were in accord
and had decided TO adopt the course
heretofore mentioned. Judge Gray is
chairman of the legislative committee Of
the county judges convention and was
thinking at one time of calling the coun-
ty judges in convention with view OF
securing concerted action In this matter,
but afterwards decided to invite all who
could conveniently attend TO meet with
him at the Perkins hotel on the 18th Of
March and requested those who could
not attend to submit their views by
letter. On the part of Gillian county /
wrote in favor of withholding the pay
ment of the state tax"
