the payment taxes lost by sever
al counties of the State of Ore
gon iu consequence of a transfer
of title from a Railroad Compa
ny to the United States. In this
connection Senator Stanfield
writes as follows: "
For months I have been tryieg
to find a way of securing relief
for the Counties that have suf
fered the loss of taxes from tne
Oregon and California Grant lano
bv reason of the Act of 1916 that
took the title away from the Kail
road Company that paid taxes
and revested it in the United
States that does not pay taxes.

have introduced a bill providing
juch relief. If we can pass thin

made to ten counties in the state

These f inures are based on the
amount of taxes paid for 1915

ier that tax rates have materially
