LIKELY THIS WILL BE DONE

Salem. Oct. 3i,--The supreme court
today In the case OF Maria L. Flanders,
respondent. vs. Multnomah county ct
al, appellants, handed down an opinion
holding that the decision OF the lower
court is affirmed and that the former
tax law Is repealed by the law OF 1903
and there is no law authorizing the
making levy OF taxes on the assess
ment Of 1908.
The effect OF his opinion Is that ur-
less a special session Of the legislature
In called for the purpose Of authorizing
the levylng OF tax for the year 1908,
the assessment 'olls OF this year, which
have already been completed. will be
worthless. and many counties in the
state vii be without funds with which
to conduct their affairs.
While the supreme court does not al
lude 10 the possibility or necessity for
a special session In any language what
ever, Il is Understood that as county
courts are rendered powerless to levy
The tax. n special session Is the only
possible relief.
This suit was brought by Maria l..
Flanders, OF Portland against the
county officers OF Multnomah county to
cntoln them from ineurring any ex-
pcnses In anticipation OF levy in jan
uary, on the ground that no such levy
could be made. County officers deniur-
red 70 the complaint and the Circuit
court OF Multnomah county overruled
the demurrer and made the injunction
perpetual, from which decision an APP
peal was taken to the supreme court.
Iy this manner OF proceeding upon the
part OF a taxpayer OF Multnomah
county the question was directly raised
whether there was authority of law for
the levy OF county and state taxes next
January. PLAINTIFF contended that,
since the amendment went into effect
on January /, Ill proceedings under the
old law must cease on that date. De-
PENDANTS eontended that. although the
new law went into effect on January !,
It was the evident intention of the leg
islature hat all assessment and tax
alton proceedings then under way
should be completed In accordance
with the law under which they were
commenced.

EXTRA SESSION or LEGISLATURE.

Portland, Oct. Sl.--The opinion pre-
walls among 4 majority of the best in
formed citizens OF oregon that Cover
nor Chamberlain viii call an extra
session OF the legislature for the pur-
pose of relieving the state of the pecu-
liar situation brought about by the
decision of the supreme court In de-
claring that there can be no tax levy
made for 1908 under the existing laws.
In effect the decision, should Governor
Chamberlain decline to convene the
legislature to pass remedial legislation,
will be TO deprive every city and county
as well as the state itself of all revenue
from taxation cor the current year.
Governor Chamberlain has been In the
enst for some time. but Is now believed
to be on his way home.
Should the governor convene the leg
islature in special session, special elec-
tions will be necessary in five Of the
counties Of the state. where there are
vacancies. One of the counties is Clat-'
sop, which will be called upon to elect
~ successor to United States Senator
Fulton. AS q special election will cost
Sl4O0 or $500, the decision of the sup
RENE court Is not at all pleasing to
county officials. However. 1t Is felt
locally that 1t is better to have done
with the matter at present than at
some future date, for certain it Is that
eventually the law must be changed so
as to permit the counties and cities of
the state to catch up with their tax
levies.
