Session Unties
Knots in Taxes
Oregon' record-loo legislative
session ground out lot of work,
somewhat slowly at times, albeit
surely, and a recapitulation of its
results indicates the importance of
that work. It also shows in large
degree why the session was so ex
tended. The tax problem was settled for
the time being, so far as a bal
anced budget was concerned, by
utilization of corporate excise sur
nlus and receiDts. It was estimated
the $102,796,000 budget would still
be in balance by liSI with the
state still having around an.ooo.

Fishermen
Quit at Astoria
ASTORIA. April 15-(7P)-Bottom
fishermen along the Oregon coast
quit work today in protest against
lowered prices.
Officials of the Fishermen's un
ion said the tie-up would continue
indefinitely until packers raise
prices.
Ben Ferguson, union, secretary,
said all boats at sea were heading
for port to attend a mass meeting
called for Monday to discuss the
prices, some of which were cut as
much as 50 per cent.
Union members said they did not
expect to -eceive last year's scale,
but did expect higher offers than
the level set by packers. Packers
said heavy foreign imports and
lower meat prices have seriously
curtailed the bottom fish market.
