THE EUGENE QTTABP Page Fourteen SOWSISH PLAN OF LAND COLONIZATION 84I.jDM, Ore., Feb. 21. The wajs and meaim committee in a grim, tax Bavins mood lias voted adverse re ports on varioua appropriation bills. Among those that went Into the discard waa the Moser-Corhett bill providing tor an appropriation of flOO.OOO, to be matched by a federal $125,000 appropriation, for the con struction of a memorial building at Champoeg. This was done after Mil ton A. Miller of Portland, H. U. Starkweather of Milwaukie and I. 11. D'Arry had presented the cause to the committee. Another measure disallowed was one providing for $35,000 annually for three years for the agricultural pro- motion campaign of the State Cham ber of Commerce. This was bitterly attacked hy Henator Strayer after He mi tor Kiddle moved that It be ap proved. "If you want io start another fool ish, wild-cat venture," Raid Strnyer, "Just get bny on this. It la economi cally unsound and foolish." Kopresontntive Collier defended the measure and cited statistics by W. O. Ido of Portland showing the number of new settlers that had been brought to the ftUte. "You don't believe that, do you?" Strnyer replied. "Then you don't believe the state eh nmber is on a sound business ba sis?" Collier asked. "I think the state chamber has on hand a high-pressure program to give somebody a job. Who it is I don't know," was Strnyer's answer. Measures disapproved were: Dunne resolution for $2,100 for John H. Teon memorial ; $8000 for poultry disease investigations; $12,000 for ag ricultural experiment station in Des chutes county; $'J"00 to locate graves of ex-soldiers; $f80 clnim of K. R. Jamison against state lime board; $7500 for topogrnphic map of state; hill to increase county fair tnx levy from one-twentieth to one-tenth of a mill; to create a revolving fund for the state printer; providing for a committee to Investigate tlie matter of taxes on federal forest lands.
