Osborne, executive- secretary of the Oregon State Federation ot Labor and chair man of the Anti-Sales Tax feder ation, in an address before mem bers ot tho Salem anions and the Salem Trades and Labor council Tuesday night.

The present more, ho said, originates from tho same source. "Tho with holding of the state tax millage issi year, us Dome said, was groundwork laid to pave the way for the sales tax.
