chairman; ot the state relief com
mittee declared.
County Relief Men
Will Ue Questioned .
No definite action was taken
as a result or tne conference to
day, but Governor Meier announc
ed ho would confer further with
county relief committees and oth
ers before deciding upon : a pro
gram and the calling of a special
session, j ;
While ; all remedies suggested
came back to a sales tax. no def
inite percentage nor definite tax
was suggested, otner man tnat
made by Charles V. Galloway,
chairman ot the state tax commis
sion, that it should bo a straight
retail tax without exemptions and
without tax service. The funds.
he stated should bo used for two
definite purposes and so set out
In the bill re Vf and tor school
districts. !
Wilcox; stated that between five
and six million dollars would be
required for relief by the end ot
1834, In addition to relief afford
ed through the NRA program. Of
this sum the state or municipali
ties would have to provide two-
thirds. He stated that at the
present time there were -.30,000
families receiving relief.
Thirty Thousand
Families Need Aid
"Thirty thousand families
means that at least 120,000 peo
ple In Oregon are In need, and
that many more are unemployed
but have not yet called for food.
This is more than tho NRA and
public works programs can ban
die, even though they state they
can take care of about : 40,000
people the next year," Wilcox
said. - - . i
Pierce Williams, representing
the federal relief administrator,
stated that unless the federal
government were ' assured tho
state would raise its share ot tho
funds no advances would ho
made. Ho stated that Washing
ton had issued bonds in the
amount ot 810,000,000 and Cali
fornia 820.000,000.
- But tho mention of bond issu
ance brought immediate protest
from several of those present,
particularly Leslie Scott, chair
man of the state highway com
mission, (who declared tho state
could not raise this money by
bonds, nor could it place this bur
den upon property tax. Scott said
that the highway commission did
not sell its last Issue hut Portland
