FAMOUS TAX SUIT
NOW BEING TRIED
ASSESSOR STRAIN is
ACCUSED OF FRAUD
Suit Filed Nearly Two Years Ago by
j. r.. Dickson and Other Taxpayers
Up Before Court Today-Plaintiffs
Allege Discrimination.

The more or less famous tax suit
brought by J. R. Dickson and other
Pendleton taxpayers against County
Assessor c. P. Strain, the county
board of equalization and the sheriff
is now being tried after many months
delay. The suit was filed nearly two
years ago and the sheriff was enjoin-
ed from collecting the taxes last year.
1t was alleged in the complaint that
the county assessor had Disseminated
in his assessments against certain city
properties and in favor Of the farm
ers. 1t was charged that he did this
for political effect and that he. was
therefore guilty of fraud. The county
board of equalization was also charg-
ed with fraud in permitting the dis
eliminating assessment to pass, while
temporary Injunction was procured
which prevented Sheriff Taylor from
making the collections.
The case has been set for trial on
two or three different occasions, but
each time it has been postponed at the
request of the plaintiffs, who appar-
emily found difficulty in getting ready
or trial. After several postpone
ments the case was finally called this
morning. and County Assessor Strain
has been on the stand practically the
entire day. When he is through 9th
el witnesses will be called.
