Tax Savers say' Corvallis Business men Started Entire Movement Continued from pas 1) 11a and Eugene to Initiate a meas ure, which among other things would return the school of com merce to Corrallis; give Corvallls acme courses;, remove tho law school to Salem; do away with the school of Journalism and in return for these put all the work of the. three normal schools on the uni versity campus. - . . V,j " "For fear, President Whiteside, that yOu have not as yet been ad vised of tho result of the inter Tlew. It may be stated that Eugene ' refused to bo party to the plot. "Before the bill was filed and application made for a ballot title, Corrallis Interests, still on the ag gressive, sought another meeting. At this meeting Bankers Wilson and Porter, reinforced by Banker Woodcock, who Is treasurer of tho ' Corrallis- chamber of commerce, reappeared at Eugene in the com- - pany of Dr. Johnson. This time the Corrallis men expressed them selves as disapproving of tho idea of tho proposed initiative measure. They said they wanted to head it off but and mark this well cer tain radical local Corvallls people were Insisting on it" They thought', however, that If the people of Eugene would agree to an . Initiative measure jointly supported that would give Corrallis back the scnooi oi com merce, that such a measure might be accepted by the Corvallls peo ple and the thing, now known as the . ZOrn-MacPherson measure. would be killed. Attempts Made To Hide Real Source "Arain the Eugene men let It bo known that they would not be parties to a raid and the confer ence broke up. Then the measure was filed with the secretary of state with a request for a ballot title. Ton will note, President White side: that Corvallls interests open ed the attack and were at all times the aggressor. From that time on. every ef fort was made to hide .the real Identity of - the authors of the Korn-MacPherson bill. Every ef fort was made to make the bill appear as tho Joint product of tho now discredited Zorn and Mac Pherson. Every effort was made to make the public believe that it was initiated by poor farmers and not by men of such wealth that score of them possess property In and near Corvallls and the col lege campus, which is assessed at $545.600,. and has an estimated actual value of more tnan si,- 000,000 all this aside from In vestments In other enterprises. The assessment roll, It Is observ ed, show that the Whiteside, of Corvallls are owners of property said to be ' worth $100,000 Or more. And now to Portland! Under oath, S. H. Slocum, the paid pe tition manager, in court swore that he first ' contracted the so- called . Corvallls secret commit tee. On this committee appeared both Dr. Johnson and Mr. Gets tho sam6 two men who were at tho first Eugene meeting, weeks before, when the idea of. an in tativo was first broached by Cor vallls Interests. It is strange in deed that you did not .know of this, as you " profes not to know. But perhaps you do recall tnat last grand day when the petitions were -finally filed at Salem.
