The S|tokexmun has interviewed a number of bininoli mon hero and a majority who have I miti consulted arc in favor of tho aixiliitimont of the tax. It is daim.il that the tax ia tix» high. Councilman Huffman ut the council meeting Tuesday night stated that, in his opinion, the tax should lx- cut down at least two-thirds. Other people who have been paying the tax are of the opinion that it would lx* lx-tter to do away with the tax altogether and raise the necessary money by direct taxa- tion instca«l of collecting a tax under an ordinance that pre- serilx's fines an«! imprisoment if same is not paid. The city council has introduced an ordinance to revise the occu­ pation tax ordinance, and same will lx* acted on before long. Just what will lie the outcome is im- |Mnsible to state at this time. I-awycrs, physicians, black­ smiths. and contractors and build­ ers are not reipiiml to pay any tax. according to the onlinance.

Office and Armond S h e rar Accident- Oregon Cafe Are b Kills H im self N ear Burglarized Crescent Some time last Friday night a thief or thieves entered the office of the Tum-A-Lum Lumber Co. on east E street and made a search for money. The search was thorough but all the burglar could find of money value was some stamps and stamped en­ velopes. which were taken. The same thief later on went to the Oregon Cafe adjoining the Hotel Oregon on 6th street, and appropriated a big fat turkey that was confined in a pen in the rear of the cafe. Probably think­ ing the turk more valuable than the plunder from the Tum-A-Lum Co., or in an effort to pay for the bird, the thief left the stamps he had stolen from the lumber com- l»any. Policeman McClay has been working on the case, but as yet has not found the guilty Party.
