Decision Against Akin.


| a decision IN a case WHICH has
attracted the attention OF attor-
neys throughout this state, be-
cause of the fact that the princi-
pal issue involved has never be-
fore been passed upon by the
Oregon supreme court, was
handed down by that body Mon
day of this week.
The case was appealed from a
decree of the circuit court of
Benton county, which reversed
the decision of the probate court
of this county, settling the final
account of appellant, ]. [. Akin,
as executor cf the last will of
Peter w. and Hannah R. Mason.
The respondents, M. B. DAWSON
and the United Brethren church,
were creditors holding unpaid
claims.
Appellant assigned as error the
ruling of circuit court disallow-
ing in whole or in part certain
credits claimed by him, and par
ticularly in charging him with
the amount of a promissory note,
$8o3. so, due and owing from
him to Peter w. Mason.
At the time Akin was appoint
ed executor of the Mason estate
he was indebted to Peter w.
Mason on account of this prom
issory note delivered to the latter
during the latter's lifetime.
Akin was insolvent at the time
of his appointment and has ever
since remained so. In his final
account he did not charge him
self with the amount of the note,
and the respondents asked that
the amount of the note be
charged against him as executor
as though it were so much money
in his hands. The Circuit Court
charged Akin as demanded by
respondents, and Akin appealed.
The Supreme Court cites sec
ton r117, of -Hi1ps code, which
provides that ''the naming any
one executor in will shall not
operate to discharge such execu-
tor from any claim which the ex-
ecutor had against him, =. and
if the person SO named alter
wards takes upon himself the ad-
1ninistration of the estate, he
shall be liable for such claim as
for so much money IN his hands
at the time the claim became
due and payable y It is held
that under this statute the in
solvency Of the executor is i'm
material and that On final settle
ment he is justly charged with
the debt as SO much cash in
hand. Gas All executor cannot
sue himself, all resort to legal
process for the collection of a
debt due from him to the estate
is cut off by his assuming that
Office. Having voluntarily taken
upon himself the right and duty
to demand and receive, and the
corresponding duty Of paying, it
is but a just ard legal conse-
quence of his own act that his
debt should be conclusiyely pre-
sumed to have been paid and dis
charged. :"
The opinion was handed down
by Justice Bean, and affirmed
the finding of Circuit Judge
Geo. H. Burnett. E. R. Bryson
was the attorney for respondents,
while Weatherford & Wyatt and
J. H. Wilson redresented appel
liant.

Proposed Changes In Tax Law


While the tax law passed by
the last legislature has been fa-
vorably received as whole and
its practical operation has been
very satisfactory, indications
point to some changes by the
next legislature which are quite
generally conceded to be neees-
sary. The Taxpayers League
of Portland is working on a bill
to this end.
One improvement suggested is
that such kinds of personal prop
erty, merchandise and stocks OF
goods be assessed whenever found,
and another is that the taxes be

UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL.
Wisdom of the Two Years Course
Now Demonstrated.


Athens, Ga, April 12.-The Univer-
sity Law School is now approaching
the end of the first year since the
school was put on two years basis.
The wisdom of the change has been
demonstrated.
Last fall, prior to the opening OF
the session, ii was predicted that there
would not be over twenty men in the
law class. There have been enrolled
thirty-two. Of that number twenty
six are Junior class members and will
be back next year. The junior class
next year will be at least thirty, and
the entire class will be over fifty, which
will be the strongest class in the his
tory of the Institution.
The enrolment in the other branches
of the university has been much larger
than the preceding year, and even with
the slump in the law school attend
ance, caused by the change from the
one to the two years course, the total
enrolment at the university reaches
high water mark.
There have been recently made a
number of improvements in the agri-
cultural department of the university,
and Prof. Sternes now has that depart
ment in a condition where it is of
real value to those studying agricul-
ture.
The University Cadets, under the
command of Col. r. L. Griggs, the
talented instructor in military tactics,
are doing the best work in recent years.
A medal will be given again this wear
to the best-drilled man in the univers-
ity and three drills will be held to
determine the men eligible for the last
prize drill to be held at commence
ment. Nine men will be selected at
these drills. which will make a posi-
bic 81 for the last drill. The result Of
the first of these drills is as follows:
