City Gtocesy and Bafeety PHONE i M.ta 75 Joint Committee of House and Senate to Revise Present Tax System. Organization of the Joint commis sion of the Oregon senate and house of represeniatlves wilj ' take place next week., says the Baker Herald. Senator C. C.McColloch of Baker, Is a member of the commission and will leave tonight for Salem. The commission was named by the last legislature as a result, of the tangled condition of the taxation laws of the state at the present time, due to the tinkering of the legislature and the passage of conflicting laws by the initiative.. The commission was glv that the result of its labors will be the compilation of an entire and com plete tax code of the state of Oregon which well, be presented eitner to tue people at the next election or to the next legislature for enactment Into statutes.. . -V . Speaking of the work, Senator Mc Colloch said: . Y. "Personally I favor the Incorpora tlon Into our tax laws of many of the tax measures now In use In the pro gressive states like Wisconsin and other middle , western states. . ,"I believe that there should be a larger .householders" exemption than we haVe at the present time and that the tax on' notes and mortgages should be removed. ' , ' "Another Important change; that I believe would work to the best Inter ests of the state at large would be a separation of the source' of state and local tares. At preseutboth derive their revenues from Jtne same sources antr,'thVWtein.iJults In 'excessive costs of collection of taxes' and fric tion. . . . ' '": , "I believe, that the large corpora tions, which do a state wide business, like the railroad, express and Pull man car companies should , be taxed by the state. It Is a difficult matter for the counties to enforce collection from them to the extent that It should be done. t The state can do this mow) economically at any rate and stlfflcletit revenue could be derived from1 them to pay all expenses of the' state and thus relieve the farmer and other property owners of paying the state levy that ia assessed against each county under the present'7 system. This is done In other statest' notably Wleconsln. V The cost' of" collection would be reduced to a minimum as compared wlth the present system." . The work of lue commission win bo watched with a great deal of in terest because, It Is generally under stood that it waa created to head off the single tax.! . ' ; : v ; Blue Hosts Gather In Rochester. Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 21. The in numerable activities of. the 49th na tlonal encampment of the Grand Army of the eRpubllc . began this morning when the national council of admlnls tratlon met to complete the final do tails of the encampment program. During the day numerous conferences were held also by the officers and cntnmlttees of the Woman's Relief Corps, Ladles of the d.4A. R., Sons of Veterans and other affiliated .organi sations .which will hold their annual sessions here thin week. The great crowd already here waa swelled today by the arrival of thousands of veter ans and other visitors from every sec tion of the country'. The visitors are -enthualMtlc Ui helr praise of the elaborate decorations and the perfect character of the arrangements made for the reception and entertainment of the veterans during their stay Jn (Rochester. , r Loyal Order of Moese. Detroit Mich., Aug. 21. With an at tendance of thousands pf i delegates from all over the United State and Canada, the annual grand lodge con vention of. the Loyal Order of Moose matin Detroit today to ra five days' session. - Edmund E.

Tens of thousands of visitors are here from cities and towns In every part of the United States and Canada and the prediction that the attendance would establish, a new high record has been fulfilled. : ' ' . Street . pageants, ' barbecues, balls other features of entertainment are u follow one another in rapid succes sion. 'The festivities are to be entire ly Callfornlan in spirit, the pageantry and special events being of the pio neer days of '49, with the vivid de scriptions of Bret Harte as the setting "Roaring Camp," Immortalized by the famous writer, has been, established as one of the big features of the car nival. :. V But It would be a mistake to Imag ine that there Is no work to be done during the week. Senator Thomas F. Grady of New'York is to retire from the office of grand president and the choice of his successor has started a spirited contest, Frank K. JHenng oi South Bend, Ind., J. J. Cusack of San Francisco and several others are men tioned for the head of the order. . An other contest has developed for the of fice of grand secretary to succeed C. H Mann, who is retiring from the of fice after a service of many years. Anart from the election of officers and other routine business, the con ventlon will be called upon to deal with several radical measures which, If passed, will have an Important ef fect upon the future of the order. The first of these new measures will deal with the matter of age limit and Is designed to bring an army of young men Into the order. , There is a strong feeling that the age limit should be set at 18 years,1 and there are said to be thousands of youths throughout tha United States and Canada who are awaiting the - decision of the grand body o that they may be initiated. Another important matter to' be con sidered Is the proposal to institute a women's auxiliary to the Eagles, Grand Ctrcnlt Racers at Goshen Goshen, N. T.( Aug. 21. The inter est of the Grand Circuit followers shifts this week to the historic hal- mlle track In this village, where tire fast horses will take part In a four days' meeting that formB a link be tween the western end of the circuit and Readvllle at the eastern end.
