Thla come following some of th most

STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Feb. 1.
(Special.) Already members of tha
State Tax Commission are making
f reparation for their task in connec
ion with a Joint committee from the
House and the Senate which Is to meet
and prepare such constitutional amend
ments and initiative hills as they may
deem proper for submission to th peo
ple at the next general election.
The commission has secured a large
number of copies of all of the pro
posed tax measures ami resolutions for
constitutional amendments which were
Introduced In the Legislature. None
of these was given serious consldera
Hon by that body with the exception of
three because of the fact that the com
mittee to work In conjunction with the
State Tax Commission would have sol
power over the subject.
Under the constitutional amendment
as passed by the people at the last
election all measures relating to taxa
tion or exemption, no matter from
what source they mlsht arise, must be
referred to the people.
Th tax measure a proposed were
killed on after another. Among those
of greater moment were the bills pro
viding for a change In the inheritance
tax Uws. These were for the purpose
of Increasing materially the revenue
from Inheritance tax sources and will
be considered by the commission and
the legislative committee. They met
with no opposition in either house,
only with the exception that they
should be placed before the commission
for consideration.
The Joint committee Includes Sena
tors Joseph. Hawley, Calkins, Barrett
of Washington and McColloch, and
Representatives Church, Neunr, Col
lins Blgelow. Mariner, Johnson and
Derby. As far as is known -none of
the members of thla Joint committee Is
In favor of single tax and It Is known
that the State Tax Commission Is di
rectly opposed to such a plan of tax-
'Vhe tax commission will start gath
ering data for the meeting of the Joint
committee immediately. The. commit
tee will probably not meet for several
months as ther are .till nearly two
years before the election, but the com
mission Intends to hav a complete and
thorough array of facta and figure for
its use when the time arrives to pre
pare measure to be ubmiUed to the
