total amount of the Copco tuxes in
this state sh ow an increase of 6.72
per cent over the amount of the

said.
Including Federal and all types
of taxes, The California Oregon
Pow er Company is paying this year
a sum in excess of three quarters
of a m illion dollars.

sculpture. It Is the intention of the
museum to present a com plete cross
section of the w ork of artists of this
state w ith a view not only of in
form ing itself of the status and cal
ibre of Oregon's artists, but also id
giving the general public a com
prehensive idea of w hat is going
on in the fine arts here.
All seriou s Oregon artists are
being invited to |*artieipate in this
exh ib ition, and the museum Is
guaranteeing to hang at least one
work by every artist subm itting
work. Painting in all m ediums and
sculpture are eligible, and artists
may send three w orks in any one
medium or a total of five w orks
in several mediums. There w ill be
no jury, but the D irector of the
museum, Robert T yler Dgvis, has
assumed so le
responsibility
for
deciding w hich one, or more works
by any artist w ill form part of the
exhibition.
Another important and exp eri
mental aspect of this show is that
no prizes are being offered. The
false em phasis placed on w orks by
the aw arding of prizes w ill be a-
voided.! Instead, the museum is
guaranteeing that at least ten work:,
from the exhibition w ill be sold,
and has undertaken to find at least
ten civic m inded persons w ho w ill
pledge them selves, before the works
of art arrive at the museum, to buy
at least one w ork from the final
show . In this w ay it is hoped to in
still in the general public a realiza
tion that w orks of art contem por
aries are purchasable com m odities,
and make it easier for the artists of
Oregon to get into contact w itn
their potential buying public.
