Nearly Fil'1y Taxpayers Met
Saturday to Discuss Prob
lems Confronting Tlienr.
With W. R. Jasper in tho chair
Saturday nearly fifty taxpayers in
.session at the city hall passed result!
tions, made rinKine; speeches denoune
ing public extravaKance and adjourned
to meet on the second Saturday in
April.
Chairman Jasper started tho meet
inn by sayiiiR Oreifon needs a Huches,
whereupon Walter lit Pierce moved
that a committee on resolutions be ap
pointed to report to tho meeting. The
chair appointed Georjyc Miller, L. I4.
McKennon nnd John S. Hodirin. All
present were made members of tho
new taxpayers' body by motion of Mr.
Hodirin. after which Walter M. Pierce
spoke on the state meeting at Mc-
Minnvillc. revealing from whence the
new movement sprang and r.sked five
delegates be named from Union coun
ty to attend a similar meeting at Port
land on March 20th.
Being much interested in the pro-
nosed Portland meeting Mr. Pierce
stated that ho would like to attenj
as a delegate nnd he was unanimous'
elected. William Ruckman of Imble.-,
George Miller of Cove, Chris John
son of North Powder and A. E. Wills
of Alicel were also elected after W
D. Grandy moved the nominations
close.
Joe Hinkle of Umatilla county dc
livered a message of good cheer in
the way of organi.ntion from th
neighboring county taxpayers who re
cently met and .failed to accomplish
anything they set out to accomplisn
relative to reducing budget estimates
for their county, but, who, according
to Mr. Hinkle arc very much in earn
est and intend to carry on the fight
until they do got results.
Mr. Hinkle advocated revision that
means revision including cutting the
millHL-e- taxes off tho colleges, but
to this , Mr. Pierce made some objec
tion, stating that it would never do,
but admitted that wide and d rust li
re forma could be brought about in the
state colleges which would curb ex
penditures somewhat.
Frotnk Sloan of 'Umntilla county
was also present and he spoke on tho
need of things to be done, told of the
recent special session of the legisla
ture of which he was a member an:!
assured those present that Umatilla
county will stick in the fight until
some good is accomplished.
Senator Kbcrhard reviewed the
budget law passed by the last sessio'-i
of the legislature and mentioned a
number of legislative matters. Ik
urged the people not to bo so keen li
pass laws which caused heavy appro
priations by the legislature and also
in a friendly way urged them not to
sign every petition that came alons
when a legislature was in session for
he claimed that if a man was down at
Salem with economy written across
bis back in big letters very often pe
titions came, from home to support
things that shot his economy resolu
tion all to pieces.
Following Senator Kbcrhard tho
meeting relaxed into a round table
discussion and everyone present had
more or loss to say.
It was urged that the attendance
tomorrow in the city hall be large to
hear the state commissioners who are
investigating tax matters. The meet
ing will be called at 10 o'clock.
