Salem was selected, for the con-

A measure that may, prohibit
both income and inheritance faxes
In Oregon was introduced fia the
senate yesterday by Senator Bruce
Dennis, of" Union and Walfowa
counties.;::. . 'j'v : ''I M- v.'
The rfeselutloif provides that the '
feonstitutfottiort he-state be amend-'
ed by. adding a new section leading
No tax upon" inheritances or upon
the income of residents or citizens
of the- state' shan be levied -by the
state of Oregon, or under its- au
thority." ' -".
In his -explanation of ' the bill.
Senator Dennis stated that Florida
had recently adopted such an
amendment, and as a result, capi
tal and investment in the state
had increased to an enormous ex
tent. Senator Dennis believes that
if the measure is passed and' ap
proved by the people,- there will
be a tremendous- expansion of
business interests Jn the state and
an according Influx of capital and
development of resources, I - -
t "I consider the passage .of this
measure," Senator Dennis! stated;
"would ' be a direct invitation to 1
the people of the- middlewest and
the east to come to Oregon, and to
make their homes and establish
their business here unhampered by
tax legislation; A very large' num-
ber of business concerns of the
highest standing have given up the
Idea-of building. factories In the
Oregon field, due to the fact that
this state was contemplating: in
come tax legislation. I believe the
support ot this measure would do
more than' anything else towards
bringing wealth and industry into
Oregon." ' ' "

The federation went on record

of such an ordinance. J
Organized:Cbarity under one

V I Members Maintain: l:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. The
senate again , debated, the French
War debt, today, with '-.Chairman
Borah' of. the foreign - relations
committee reiterating hlsi-declaf
ation that .France .made, no, unre-
paid gifts to the American colonies
during the revolutionary period.
Taking exception to the speech
delivered by Mr. Borah -yesterday,
Senator Bruce, democrat, Mary
land, read- a letter ' of Benjamin
Franklin expressing; appreciation
for a French gift . of six million
lives. s. .; -;yi ; ;;,:i'-;-y.
"How can any one read these
stirring words," asked Senator
Brnce, "and not thrill to the same
appreciation; or indulge in the
historical misinformation such as
put forward by the senator from
Idaho. . i ,'
j "Has - the senator: any evidence
of his own to offer,' asked Sena
tor: Borah. "When a' gift is thus
labelled a gift. It muet be admitted
to: have been a gift," . . was - the
reply. . "No evidence is necessary."
Senator Bruce - asserted - that
Senatxjr. Borah's speech "fairly
reeked" with- errors; '
, Heading from French y works
contemporary: with the revolution,'
Senator Bruce declared French
national sentiment was so strong
ly, sympathetic - that j it forced- the
adhesion of 7 the French govern
ment to the American colonies.
Even If every' dollar advanced
by France had been' discharged,
the Maryland senator contended
that "the moral obligation has not
and cannot be so discharged,'
