In securing enough mon ey for ordinary governmental par- poses since It was fathered by Sen ator Pierce. In the legislature sever al years ago and adopted by the peo? pie at the following general election Senator Hurley, in moving that the measure be taken from the ta ble, issued a challenge to the "moss- backs" to defend the amendment' and In their behalf .the challenge was accepted by Senator Pierce, who said be also wanted the senate to go on record on the measure. ' "A majority , of the people of the state do not. want the C per cent HnvJ itatlon amendment in the eonatltu-. Hon.", said Senator , Hurley.. . '.Be cause of it maay counties are unable to. raise 'enough money, to carry on their business, and the same. thing is true m Portland and other cities of the state..' The measure was Intro duced In the Interest of 'moss backs' who do not care whether the state progresses or not. It is unscientific, unfai&nd unjust." '. ; tat'ollett.AKsan nnrley .'

' Jones of Lane county endorsed La Follett's speech., declaring that re peal of the amendment would be dangerona because It .would let down the bars to excessively high taxes- Senator Moser , rgned for the resolution, declaring that the C per cent limitation is merely a' beauti ful theory. "It was Instigated by the big tim ber interests of the state," said Mos er, who thought, they, were pay lag more taxea than they abould. In Portland, both for the city and school district. It. Is. necessary ta call spe cial elections every, year to vote enough money to do business. Bell Reseats Remarks Handley and Orton both supported the resolution, and Bell of Lane said he resented the remarks of Senator Hurley, but, would rote for the res olution because he . understood the measure would.be initiated If it were not adopted by the. legislature. "I am natnralry of a retiring and shrinking disposition." Senator Eddy remarked facetiously, "and in view of the maledictions pronounced In advance by the senator from Ml- benr I am surprised that I, can even stand up in the senate. I am not la love with the per cent limitation, bnt if we refer this measure from a special legislative, session called to consider emergency measures it will go. out t. with prejudice, and I shall not vote for It." - ..Ordinarily said Senator lUtner. "I would. vote AgaJnat the repeal bat because of abnormal conditions caused by the war I shall support the resolution. Closing the argument against the Hurley resolution Senator Pierce said : Pierre Predict a DtsaMer "I know the charge is often made that the per cent limitation amend ment was backed by the big timber interests. I don't know, whether any of them voted for it or not. but I do know that many of them roted against It. Removal of the limita tion would mean that the state would be plunged Into debt. I never played poker, but I have. heard how when the limit was raised someone went broke. That's the way it will be If this limitation on the tax levying au thority if remored.
