THINKS
THE ACT
is VOID

In response to a request made by
District Attorney Geo M. Brown, of
the second judicial district, Attorney.
General Crawford last evening ren.
dered an opinion on the question as
to whether an officer of a bank could
be fined for refusing to furnish the
assessor with a list of depositors, as
required in sections 3067 and 3O6S Of
the code The encouragement holds
that such a law, II properly drawn is
valid, and he cites decisions Of the
federal courts in support of his con.
tention. But he holds that the Oregon
statute does not give the assessor the
same rights as does the law in ques-
ton in the federal courts. He say:
"Our statutes confer no authority
on assessors to issue compulsory pro.
cess to compel witnesses to attend,
but, in the light of the foregoing de.
cision, the legislative assembly could
so provide, and | have been unable
to find that said decision has ever
been disapproved. While the act is
indefinite in many respects, it might
be held good by the courts, If 1t had
been duly enacted. The legislative
assembly has, in my opinion, the pow
er to compel the officers Of any bank
ing institution, or express company or
association doing business in this
state, to furnish a list of depositors
to the assessor, but in the present in.
stance | think the attempt to pass
such an act failed. The title of the
act is An act to empower assessors
to assess bank deposits The body
of the act is to compel the officers OF
the bank to furnish list of its depos-
itors, and providing fine II they fail
to do so, on the request of the as
sessor The test as to whether the
subject of the act is expressed in the
title, as laid down in the case Of
Spaulding Logging Co. Ts. Independ.
ence l. Co., AZ Or. 394, as stated by the
court at page S9S thereof, is whether
taking from the title, the subject we
can find anything in the body which
cannot be referred to that subject
The subject OF the act under con.
sideration is to authorize assessors
to assess bank deposits. The body Of
the act requires the assessor to call
upon bank officers and procure a
sworn statement OF the names of de.
posltors, and to fine such officers, II
they fail TO furnish ii. The fining Of
deposits. Any person reading the title
to authorize assessors to assess bank
deposits Any peron reading the title
would naturally conclude that the pur.
pose of the act was to confer the pow
er upon the several assessors OF the
state to assess money deposited in
banks, and they would not for a mo-
ment suppose that 1t was intended 10
compel bank officials to furnish lists
of depositors TO assessors, or 10 pun
ish them by fine If they failed so to
do at the request of the assessor.
"In my opinion, the body Of the act
is not germane to the title, and the
act is void"

WILL WATER STREETS
ACTING MAYOR FORBES WARS ON
 THE DUST.
Calls Cabinet Meeting Wherein it ls Decided That Street Hands and Firemen Shall Water
 the StReets.

As a result of a conference between Acting Mayor A. G. Forbes, Superin- tendent of Streets. Campbell Jones. Fire Chief John F .Browder. Chief Clerk of the Sanitary Department John J. Far ley, Superintendent of Waterworks Mo- Dun Cain and Sergeant Gladden. Harri- son of the Police Department in the of- flee of the Mayor yesterday morning, forces of men began yesterday after noon to water the city streets. made almost unendurable by dust from the long drought.
 Bremen from the several fire sta tions were detailed by Fire Chief Brow der to take out the hose reels with lines of hose to work in connection with a squad of negroes of the street depart ment and a good deal of dust was laid by the process. This work of the 'ir- rigation department" will be continued until rain relieves the present baked condition of the streets. The unpleas- antness of the situation, has not been felt by those people who live on paved streets, but on the graveled and dirt streets, especially in the afternoon when there Is more or less driving, the dust has been something terrible and these people will naturally welcome the street watering scheme with more than mere joy. It has not been deft- nitely decided whether all of the street soaking will be done in the daytime or after dark, but 1t is more than prob able that the most of the work will be done during the day. The streets wa tered after dark would become soggy and would send up maybe as much dust the next morning after some little travel over 1t and to water the streets during the day is only to feed water to the stringent rays of the sun.
 The latter plan. however, is more convenient for the officials in charge of the work and moreover more feasible all around. The only objection, taken seriously, of watering the streets dur ing the day Is the immense drain 1t would be on the city waterworks, which are already taxed considerably by the regular consumers.
 The consumption of water just at this time amounts to a great quantity and in case of a serious Ire. there would be no water to be wasted. It Is said that there is e great deal of sickness about the city and that the ever-fiying, choking volumes of dust are in part responsible for the sickness.
 A slight driIzle early last night gave hopes of a rain and the long looked for downpour may turn every dust heap into a mud puddle before the sun sets this afternoon.

OFFICIALS OF SHELLEY,
Examiner Wilkinson Reports I'll
 Judge I,OnRNhOre akxSa.. S,,..M s

Examiner Wilkinson Reports That
 Judge LOngshOre Owes SmalI Sum.
 Tn an examination of his books made by Assistant Examiner of Public An. counts W. F. Wilkinson, Probate Judge A. F. Longshore of Shelby County WAS found to be indebted to the State to the amount of $Ob.l2 principal and in terest.
 Judge Longshore informed the exam iner during the investigation that as soon as the amount of errors discovered had been totaled up he would immedi ately remit the amount to xhe State treasury. Judge Longshore's indebted ness is due to errors in bookkeepiuR and to overlooking provisions of the law.
 The examiner found that he had col lected $4.9S taxes on mortgages, but had not remitted 1t to the State treas ury. The examiner found. too, that li- oenses to the amount of s16 had been collected. but the money had not been sent in. The examiner reported that the judge was due the State S2020 on land redemption sales, he having failed to pay the advertising fee that had been paid to him.
 The other officials of the county were given a clean bill. The examiner found that all of them had been neat and accurate in the discharge of their du- ties. They will have no errors to set- tie or explain.
 The officials complimented by Judge Wilkinson are Tax Collector J. H. Rob- ertson. Superintendent of Education J. B. Farrell, Sheriff R. F. Cox. Tax As sessor J. s. Pitts and Circuit Clerk j.. P. Pearson.
