Arrangements hae been completed
for sending E. J. Taylor. Bend car

Taylor was blind In one eye from

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

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,

ing under the care of the Mayo bro

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.

He rammed his plledriver blows home

(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.

vote. The majority against the
treaty should have been at least

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tionist" bloc, and was withdrawn.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

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
