Oregon tax law ruled unconstitutional by judge
Judge Galloway of McMinnville declared the state tax apportionment to counties unconstitutional and granted Yamhill County a perpetual injunction against paying $22,482 in state taxes for 1907. The decision contests the 1901 ratio method, forecasting shifts in county burdens if upheld, with Multnomah and Umatilla among the hardest hit under a valuation-based system.
