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
