DENNIS' TAX BILL! HIT
AT MEETING OF GRANGES

for 13 years, Mr. Palmiter said
"Some people seem to think that
this bill Is a joke, but I want to
assure you that it Is a serious
matter, and - unless the . people
thoroughly Arouse themselves and
go to the polls and vote right, it
may be carried , by -those who fa
vor it and are willing to put up
hundreds of thousands of dollars
to see it made a law. I feel the
thing to do is to organize a tax
equalization league or something
of that nature and invite all organ
izations and those Interested in
securing an income tax for" Ore
gon to be a part of the organiza
tion,! and in this way secure finan
cial backing; then initiate a good
Income tax measure to go on the
ballot the same time as the Dennis
resolution. , t Then we-ill have to
remember how to vote,. for first of
all we will. have to kill the Dennis
resolution,' and second, vote for
the income measure."
