HOOD RIVER COUNTY'S
SHARE OF STATE TAX

One million six hundred aud seven
ty-hye thousand dollars is the total
approxima amount of reyenue tn he
isised for state purposes for 1909.
rour hundred thousand dollars OF the
sum VIII be derived from indirect
sources, leaving l,275, 600 to be sp-
portioned among the several counties
This amount is l25, 900 greater than
the levy last year and go, 600 greater
than the levy two years ago. The in
crease this year is due 10 part to the
holding up OF the University of Ore.
gon appropriation bill last year. by
reason OF which the levy for 1908 was
at the rate Of si7, 500 per year. as pro-
vided by laws then In existence.
Since the appropriation bill has gone
into effect, carrying an appr IpI iation
dating back to January /, 1901, IL will
be necessary, in making the 1909 levy
10 include university of Oregon de-
hcit of about sl55, 600. The 1909 levy
will include 800, 600 for the purchase
of the Oregon City locks. Should the
legislature repeal the locks appropIia-
ton Dill, this slOO, 900 will be in the
treasury subject to appropriation tor
other purposes. One installment OF
slOO, 600 has already been levied.
The levy will not be made until ear
ly in January, 1909, but the total
amount hele indicated, Sl,275, 900 is
close enough to the actual amuont
that wil be levied SO that county
courts may act upon 1t in computing
their share of state taxes. Already a
number OF counties have teen spx.
iously inquiring what the state levy
Will be. Under existing laws, the ap
portionment among the counties will
be made at fixed ratio which has
been in force number of years.
In making the appoitionment tor
1909 the state board Wi,l be confront
ed with the problem of making an ap
portionment between Hood River aud
Wasco counties without any law pre-
scribing how the spportionment shall
be made. The act creating Hood Riv-
er county contained no provision upon
this subject. The state board passed
the question up to the attorney gener
al and that official has advised the
board to divide the Wasoo county ra-
tio between Wasco aud Hood River in
proportion tn assessed valuations.
Illus the law prescribing the rutio
OF appoTtionment of state taxes re-
quires that Wasco county pay .O234 of
the whole amount. But since then
Hood River county has been carved
out OF Wasoo. The assessed valuation
OF Wasco county is now So, 927, 345 and
that of Hood River 81, $40, 2SO Divid-
ing the apportionment accordingly
Wasco's new ratio will be .0l5S and |
that OF Hood River .007 Though |
there is no law expressly authorizing
such an aproItlonment the attorney |
general expresses the opinion that this
is equitable and should be adopted.
The board viii follow this advice.
Each county can ascertain approx
imately the amount OF its share OF
state taxes for 1909 by multiplying 81,
275, 600 by its ratio. The ratios for
the several counties are as follows:

pistol, Both parties are negro es.
At an inquest held by Coroner j.

developed:

of having held him up some time
previous, and had made threats
that he would have his money or
