Bend car penter, to tho Oregon Employment Institute for the blind. Ho will start on his trip to Portland Mondny. Taylor was blind In one eye from boyhood, the result of an Injury. For I many years. However, ne maae tne one eye suffice In his trade. During J the war he went to Portland finding employment In the shipyards, and one morning awoke to find that his sight wu entirely gone. He was assisted back to Bend by Al Edwards, and since that time has been supported by the carpenters' lo cal and other friends in this city. In a Inst endeavor to regain his sight, ho was sent to Rochester, Minn., be ing under the care of the Mayo bro thers, but with no beneficial result. To resident of Bend, tho sight of the lind man, feeling his way with a cane about the business section of the city has become a fumiliar one.

(By United Press to The Bend Bulletin.) PORTLAND, Jan. 7. Big Bill Tate of Chicago last night knocked the negro heavyweight boxing cham pionship Derby from the head of long Harry Wills, of New Orleans, and to- i day had It tilted over his own eye. Last Monday afternoon Tate beat Wills when the latter fouled the big Chicnsoan In the first round of 10 round fight. Last night Tate entered the ring a poor starter. He fought Wills to the bloodiest draw ever pulled In the ( Milwaukie arena. The decision of a; draw was popular will the "Bargain Dny" fans, all of whom wore given. free admission because of the terri ble fiasco Monday afternoon. Wills was the asressor last night. He rammed his plledriver blows home to every part of Tate's body, but with apparently no effect. Tate's body in places seemed as if Wills hud pounded it with a butcher's mace. For four rounds Tnte stood this milllnu never losing Ills smile. In tho fifth ho waded in, and fans saw.pny a higher gasoline tax for main- tho merriest five rounds of boxing to he found in seven states. Tate hud Wills to the ropes twice, nnd once the New Orleans boy dropped to his knees. As referee Loutitt raised a bronzo paw of each tighter in token of a draw the howl from the fans betokened the popularity of the decision. TREATY CARRIES BY C4-57 BALLOT REJOICING GENERAL Fear I Kelt, However, That Clll War .May Follow Do Yalcra Axaln (lives I'p Presidency Whip Hutl Predicted Defeat. (By United Pre! to The Bend Bulletin.) DUBLIN, Jan. 7. Dail Elreann to night voted its approval of the peace treaty with Great Britain, establish ing the Irish free state. The long fight came to an end when the Sinn Fein parliament by vote of 64 to 57 adopted the resolu tion favoring ratification. There was general rejoicing throughout Ireland as the news flashed from town to town. Civil war, however, Is now feared. Eamonn De Valera announced hla resignation as president of the Irish republic immediately after the vote was taken. J. McGratb, whip of the treaty proponent forces, today predicted certain defeat of the British-Irian. pact when Dall Elreann takes a vote. The majority against the treaty should have been at least two, according to McGrath. HARD LINES FOR THE KAIR (The Dalles Chronicle.) At this time It looks as though each one of the three schemes de signed by the legislature for financ ing an exposition In Portland in 1925 is doomed to defeat It it goes to the people for final decision. The Kubli bill, providing a prop erty tax, was lost; utterly squashed and stamped out of existence in the committees. It stood no possible chance in the face of the "obstruc tionist" bloc, and was withdrawn. Speaker Bean's income tax plan is likewise doomed to defeat, if it has not already been nailed in the sen ate when this is read. The compromise gasoline bill slow music will play for it by and by, when the voters of the state get a crack at It. The legislature will pass this measure, with amendments, the nature of which have not been revealed. The gas tax compromise provides for amending the 1921 gasoline bill by raising the tax to two cents. No sooner was the head of this bit of legislation raised from the bill hop per than a mighty cry of anguish went up from the motor people of the state. Automotive associations in every section are meeting to protest. No consolidated action has yet been taken in The Dalles, but there Is plenty of sentiment on the subject, as the most superficial inquiry will demonstrate. Public sentiment has thus shut out a property tax. The income tax pro- posul has gone west. And now the powerful automobile interests are against a state tax. The exposition shoe seems to pinch the public foot. no matter how it Is altered. Just now the public foot is adored with a large and very sore bunion. In the shape of burden some taxes, and the remedy Is surgery drastic action with a knife. The legislature should wield it, in stead of making the evil worse. There is a curious angle to this affair. Operators of commercial ve hicles have expressed willingness to tonnuce of highways, In preference to other forms of licensing. However, while they are willing to contribute a higher gus tax so long as It is for the roads, they are on the band wagon with all the rest of tho motor people In opposition to (Continued on Page 6.)
