Governor Chamberlain and his parly were later entertained at luncheon at tho New Washington by PI rector-General I. A. Nadoau and other exposition official. More to Ahollidi Tax Oommldidon Olympla. Wash., Oct. 25. The abolishment of the State Tax Com mission I under discussion In aeveral counties of the state, and It is be lieved here that there will be a well organized effort In tho next leglHla ture to repeal the law creating that body. The success of tho effort, apparent ly, will rest largely upon tho fate In the general election of the pro posed constitutional amendment en larging the taxation powers of the legislature. If this amendment carries, the work of the Tax Commission will be virtually upheld, and there will be so many added duties Imposed upon that body that Its abolishment will not. likely be brought about. On the other hand, If the amend ment Is deefatcd, tho attempt will be to Impose new duties, now possessed bv the Tax Commission, upon the Railroad Commission, and get along only with the latter. nana for a Greater Navy. Washington, Oct. 26. The Presi dent will ask congress in his annual message, It Is said, to grant four battleships annually. Ho adheres to his belief that this is necessary. The President will also urge additional appropriations for the completion of a naval base at Pearl Harbor and of the Hawaiian coast defenses, and he will probably ask for Increased facili ties at Mare Island for handling na val vessels. Another thing the Presi dent will ask congress for is adequate provision for equipping and defend ing the naval base at Guantanamo, where the navy department has planned great yards. The location of this naval depot is in the vicinity of the Panama Canal and Is regarded as of strategic importance. CHAS. E. HICKS, Real Estate Broker, Independence, Oregon. Given 50-Year Sentence .
