Re-enactment of .the tax equal

session of the legislature, but later
repealed by the voters, was urged
by Thomas B. Kay. state treas
urer, at a meeting of the Oregon
Tax Relief commission here Mon
day. The commission was created
under a bouse resolution adopted
at the 1927 legislature and is com
posed of 35 members. It . is rep

state and virtually all lines of ac

The law recommended by the
state treasurer authorized the
state tax commission to reriew
county assessments when they
were found to be unfair or unrea
sonable. - s" ; .
It was argued that the operation
of this law would put an end to
. locaJ influences, and would in
crease materially the property val

that many manufacturing concerns
and other business properties have
failed to pay their Just proportion
of tax.

"Peter, -Peter, pumpkin eater,
Had a wife and couldn't keep

Put her in a pumpkin shell.
And there he kept lier very
well."
Is that the correct version of
the nursery rhyme of your child
hood;? Well, Peter the pumpkin
eater would have done very well
in Salem, and he could have - been
a polygamist many million, times
over, and had plenty of pumpkin
shells for all his wives, to say
nothing of a big flock of concu
bines. There were six cars of pump

tracks on Sunday, waiting their
turns to be unloaded Into the 14th

Packing company
Only (tell it nothjn Gath) they
are not pumpkins. They are
Isquasheg with a college educa

for the pumpkin pies of commerce
when they get into cans and bear
the famous Del Monte label. There
is a magic abont this. The trans
formation of a squash into can
ned pumpkin for pumpkin pi&
takes a trade secret known only
to the ledgermain of the trained
canner. It has to be of just the
right variety and shade of variety,
or 'it will be either too mushy
and soft when it gets into the
can, or too hard and lumpy. It
is a special science, this canning
of pumpkins, ; and it has . been
tried without success or only in
different success by many can
cers. But the Oregon Packing
company people have it down to
the queen's taste. And they are
making a big run on pumpkin
canning; two or three cars a day,
24 hours a day, and running into
many weeks of canning. Loo'ks
like enough pumpkin pie filling to
supply the world mountains of
cans; hundreds 'of thousands of
them; perhaps millions.

Construction Irks
A delegation of Union county
citizens is expected to appear at
the meeting of the state normal
school regents here Thursday, to
urge immediate construction of
the proposed tiew state normal
school at La Grande. -
The roters authorized the 'estab
lishment pf a , normal school In
eastern Oregon at an election two
years ago, and the normal school
regents later selected La Grande
as the location for the institu
tion. A subsequent legislature ap
propriated $175,000 ta defray the
cost of the initial unit of the
schooL . .
As a result of toe shortage of
state funds the normal school re
gents have refused to proceed with
the construction of the school,
further than to survey. the site and"
consider other preliminary details:
Reports received in Salem dur
ing the past few days indicated
that the citizens of La Grande are
not in sympathy with the delay,
and will urge the regents to pro
ceed with construction operations.
In case the La Grande delega
tion fails to make a nappearance
the work of the regents will be
confined to, routine matters.

The site of the new incinerator
which has aroused a great deal of
public speculation in he past
few weeks was passed giving the
incinerator committee authority to
purchase a two acre tract in South
Salem. where the garbage disposal

Chairman W. H. Dapcy of the

the one selected appeared to be
the most desirable. An option was

: No Residences Near
The tract is directly west of the
Stolz, spray factory, and south of
the slaughter houses on Turner
road. No residences are located
near the premises, although this
could pot matter, it was pointed
out, as the incinerator would be
odorless in operation.
The point was raised by Alder

-..;,' ;; Report .
The North High street bridge
project is causing the bridge com
mittee a great deal ot difficulty,
and will involve the expenditure
of a great deal of money, accord
ing to Alderman .W. H. Dancy,
chairman of the bridge committee
in a report to city councilmen last
night.
Alderman'. Dancy presented a
resolution' in which he recom
mended securing a right of way
from the present dam on Mill
creek between High and Church
west to where the creek flows un
der the Libert street bridge and
to dig a new channel from the
dam to Liberty street.
This would straighten out 5 the
creek bed and require only an in
expensive bridge where the hew
channel crosses High street. The
Old creek bed from the preent dam
to Liberty street could then be
filled and no bridge would be nec
essary at the Knapp place . on
Church street, or. at the present
Oregon Electric railway bridge.
Filling of the creek bed would
involve expense but would great
ly benefit property on North
Church and D streets, according
to Mr.- Dancy.
While no definite information
is available, it is believed that the
cost of the bridge 'at High street
will be borne Jointly . by the city
and the Oregon Electric Railway
compayn,
A meeting of city officials, and
bridge engineers will be held
this mortiing in City ' Attorney
