The statement declared: i
It has generally been the policy j
of the Oregon state grange to op- !
pose ine issuing or Donas lor puo
liee revenues, but we now feel
that the state of Oregon faces a
grave emergency. Farmers, labor
era, professional men and bus
iness men have reached a position
where they cannot stand addition
al taxes other than those which
come from income sources. In this
emergency wo feel that the best
way out is through issuance of
bonds -as outlined. Any tax that
way be levied at this time either
on property or ales will depress
aad discourage business, and be
cause Of the seriousness of this
emergency the grange accepts this

The nott elaborate vroiaet of Bluuiat vr tiamataJ hw tba Ffnl
Covernaaettt was -recently announced by Presideat-eUct Fraaklia D.
Roosevelt, who intends to submit his pro grass to Ceagrasa ia tba early
days of bia adaunistraUoa. The plan, which would affect tea States,
tie tba problems of conservation, reforestation, flood control, tba crea
tion of new power unite aad the reclamation of usalaas land into one
graat unit, which Mr, RooMVeit is confidant would bo solved by tba
adoption of bia plan, tba essential features of which are as follows I
Taking tba entire Tennessee River Valley, covering aa area of some
640,000 square miles, a unified system will bo worked out for creating
aew power reserve to provide cheap electric current. The Teaaesaoa
River aad its tributaries would be controlled to prevent floods, large
tracts of lead would be reclaimed, aad aa extensive program of reforoa
tatioa undertaken. Mr. Roosevelt points out that we already have
good start in the Muscle Shoal power plant, which coat the govern
ment S16S.000.000 and is aow lying idle. If Coagrees approve the plan,
the reforestation aagle of the scheme would put from 50,000 to 76,000
men to work withia the year. More than 200,000 would bo employed
wbaa the project was started ia real earnest. The cost of the menu-
maatal davelopaseat would possibly
grange. In advocating adoption
pointed out that present dumping
of surplus farm products by itin
erant peddlers is bringing all farm
products to their lowest price
level.
Other speakers, commenting on
the bHl saggeated inclusion of
berries in the classifications af
fected.
Included among representatives
of farm organisations favoring ad
option of the regulation measure
were Chester Mulkey of McMlnn-
ville, Morton Thompson of Yam
hill county and member of the
grange legislative committee, and
George T. Nichols of Portland.
Representative McCornack and
T. A. Johnson of Gresham also
discussed phases of the proposed
measure.
Lump Sum for
European Debt
Britain's Idea
LONDON. Feb. 7 (A P) Aft
er the "big five" of the cabinet
and Sir Ronald Lindsay, British
ambassador to the United States,
had compteted a preliminary sur
vey of the debt problem today. It
was learned that suggestions that
a lump sum between $1,250,000,-
000 and S2,00t.000,000 be paid
to the United States contemplated
that this payment would cover all
European war debts and not
merely Britain's.
Such a lump sum, it was said
in authoritative quarters, would
mean scaling down the war debts
in accordance with the repara
tions policy adopted at the Lau
sanne conference, which virtually
ended reparations payments from
Germany. The total European
debt to the United States was
funded at more than f 11,000,
000,000. Sales Tax Plan

(Continued from page 1)
out of the competition of the util
ity companies and independent
merchants who feel that the busi
ness shonld be left to the private

panies that brought about rate re

Northwest Gas company declared
the legislation would put his com
pany out of business.
