PAGE' TWO Sll WD IS II REPLY. Eugene Took Lead in Move To Stop School Change Says Corvallis man . (Continued from pace 1) guests of tlie Eugene committee at their Invitation, brought down tor trading stock. . ?Our committee, didn't even know ..what It tii invited down there for. Dick Smith, as host, .- merely stated in the beginning of the meeting that Eugene had in rlted our committee there to talk orer the whole situation and see if we could devise some plan to present to the board that wouldn't wreck both towna in a business "way as seemedLjnore than likely. - ."It was suggested that the com T USED mittee was perhaps too large, and that a sub-committee should be appointed to bring In some concrete-recommendation to the larg er committee. They would send the sub-committee to Corvallis, which they did In a day. or two , This committee from Eugene was : composed jot. Linn McCreadyBiU ' Tugraan and Ed Bryson. This com- " mittee finally agreed to see If they - rould get the principal business interests in each town to sign a s trace and tfuit fighting; to have a committee go to the board of higher education to demonstrate to It that it was ruining property values and business and promot ing bankruptcies; to go before the legislature and try to persuade it to go slow on farther drastic changes. . "To work out this program committee of four was to be ap pointed to meet in Eugene to per fect the plans. Before they had " concluded their work, and before they had glren up trying to Bare the situation, the Marion County Tax league bill was filed. We . were blamed, for It by Eugene al--. though we had absolutely nothing whatever to do with it, were not consulted about It, did not en ..courage, it to be brought out, and . knew nothing more about it than Eugene did. Its conception widen ed the breach between the two towns and. no further effort was made to iron out the other diffi- ' cutties. In fact, it was reported here on good authority that Eu- i gene interests were figuring on a measure to consolidate there." Chamber May ' Gt Into Fight "Then came the Eugene tactics to keep the measure oft the bal lot the unfair attack on the title, the- threats, the injunction, the bribery of the watchman, the charge of theft of the petitions . and then a few of our citizens got into the. serap. They got in of their own accord and when a meeting of the chamber board of airectors was called on the de mand of these indignant ones that we line up with the Marion Coun ty Tax league, every one of these men whom you malign as having 'sought' a bargain with Eugene, put up a fight against it, a fight that lasted all one afternoon and threatened to disrupt the cham- ber organization. But they won their point and the chamber did not enter the fight, and has not yet done so. thourh it nmhMv wfU and that right soon, as we can't Imagine Eugene being so fine and noble as to vn nnt it the measure had proposed consoli- aauon mere." .
