Trail Location Decided. Over the
protests of Echo business men, the
old Oregon trail will be located on
the east side of the railroad tracks
Instead of going into the town and
traversing the main street. This de
cision has been made by the state
highway commission, following the
refusal of the government represen
tatives to co-operate on that section
of the highway if the road crossed
the tracks into the town. The loca
tion decided on will eliminate two
railroad crossings. This decision is
costly to Echo, , for an expensive
bridge was built which the people
supposed would be needed for the
nighway.

problems will be considered at the
1.1th annual convention of the Pacific
Coast Rescue and Protective society

Plaintiff in Suit Contends All Taxes
Illegal if In Excess of Six Per
Cent Limitation.
SALEM, Or., March 25. (Special.)
Proceedings were filed In the cir
cuit court here today by Edward A.
Jory, representing the Marion county
Taxpayers' league, to enjoin W. I.
Needham, sheriff, and other county
officials, from collecting taxes alleged
to exceed the 6 per cent limitation by
approximately 848,000.
The taxes involved include $25,470
levied by the -Marion county court for
common school purposes. 812.S0O with
which to provide a tuition fund,
$10,000 for making repairs to the
Silverton armory, and approximately
$1000 for effecting transfers of school
funds in the several districts.
Mr. Jory contends that all taxes
levied in excess of the 6 per cent I
limitation are illegal and that the
court was without authority to make
the assessment.
Local lawyers allege that the suit
is not only, intended to nullify the
levy of $48,000 made by the court, but
is an attack on the validity of cer
tain legislative acts upon which the
increased assessments were based.
These acts, it is said, are all amend
ments and sub-amendments to chapter
2o5, of the general laws of Oregon
for the year 1915.
Mr. Jpry was among the members
of the local Taxpayers' league who
last Saturday went on record disap
proving all miilage taxes to be re
ferred to the voters of Oregon at the
special election on May 21.
