SALES TAXES DOOMED
TO REPEAL EXCESS PROFITS,
ICE CREAM AND TRANS
PORTATION LEVIES.
By United Preta
WASHINGTON, May 10 America's
annual tax bill will be fixed by con
gress at $3,600,000,000, if the plans of
leading members of the house ways
and means committee go through.
They would like to reduce the
per capita tax for every man, woman
and child in the country to $30,
A total of $300,000,000 but with con
tinued appropriations, they admit thnt
it is doubtful if it can be done.
It now appears certain that no
sales tax will be enacted this ses
sion. ,
Tax changes will be along the fol
lowing lines. Taxes to be repealed:
excess profits, soda water and ice
cream, transportation. Uncertainty
exists as to whether the theater ad
mission tax will be repealed.

OREGON APPROPRIATION BLOCK-
ED BY VETO OF WASH
INGTON. By United Press
SALEM, May 10. The $37,600 Ore
gon state tourist fund cannot be ex
pended until the state of Washington
devises means of providing a similar
amount, Secretary of State Sam Ko
zer was officially notified today by
Attorney General Van Winkle.
This year's blockade in the way of
the annual campaign to bring tourists
into the northwest looms as serious,
in the opinion of officials of the
iNorthwest Tourist association, inas
much as Governor Hart of Washing
ton vetoed the 1921 appropriation for
that state.
Oregon's money is ready, but its ex
penditure is contingent by law upon
Washington posting a similar amount
Private citizens in the northern
state have subscribed $25,000 for the
campaign, but that a'mount must be
increased to at least equal the Ore
gon appropriation before this state's
fund is released, in the attorney gen
eral's opinion.

CITIZENS OF
PASS ON EIGHT
$800,000 DALLES-CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY BONDS PROPOSITION
MOST IMPORTANT AS IT AFFECTS COMMUNITY SEVEN
STATE BILLS SUBMITTED.
In less than a month from now
the people of Wasco county will be
asked to pass upon eight separate
measures, seven referred to them
by the lant "session of the leglsla
ture and the eighth, t the bonding of
Wasco county for $800,000 for the
construction of Tho Dalles-California
highway, placed' upon the bal
lot by local petition. June 7 is the
date of the special election, which
is in reality two elections on the
same day, the county having taken
advantage ot the fact that a state
special election will be held on that
day to save the expense of holding
a separate county election, with the
bond issue the only item on the
ballot.
Of predominating interest to resi
dents of Wasco county, is the $800,
000 bond election. If the issue car
ries, this sum is fo be used, when
matched dollar for dollar by the
state, in the construction of a per
manent road south through Wasco
county, known as The Dalles-California
highway.
General sentiment throughout the
county is that this ineasuro will cur
ry, although hard sledding is pre
dicted in some of tho moro remote
districts where ranchers feel that
they will receive none of the bene
fits to be derived from such a road.
No strongly organized opposition lias
developed, however, the majority of
the voters conceding that passage
of the measure is a vital necessity
if Wasco county is to continue to
grow.
Other measures on the ballot of
more than ordinary interest to Was
co county voters are two salary fix
ing bills, introduced by Representa
tives Egbert and Roberta in the
last session of the legislation and
referred back to the county for a
geaeral vote. The two bills definite-
