or in other words removing jt from
the jorisdictinn of the counties and
having their property taxed by the
state direct, allowing the counties only
a pro rata share of credit in taxes in
proportion to the total amount of
taxes realized. It is the feeling
generally that this svBtem will work
a hardship on the smaller counties and
that it is a move to benefit Multncmah
county. The commercial bodies in
the different parts of the state are be
ing called npon to offer resolutions
protesting against such action, and
committee of oar club was appointed
for this purpose. The matter of
chicken raising in Morrow county was
also considered, and it wis decided
that the Club proceed at once to get
up a small pamphlet setting forth
this industry, and showing to the out
side world what an ideal country we
have for this business. These pam
phlets will be gotten out in sufficient
quantities to mail over the east and
middle west with the other boost
literature that is going out. Data is
to be gathered from ail over the
county, and just as soon as it is
brought together the pamphlet will
be prepared for the printer.
