Wheat League Meet
Reported to Lions
Observations of the wheat league
conclave at Pendleton last week end
were brought to the Monday Lions
luncheon at Lucas Place by George
Peck and J. O. Turner, both of
whom served on league committees
They reported the conference as one
of the most successful ever held,
with attendance exceeding all for
mer meetings.
Mr. Peck especially emphasized
the action of the committee on tax
ation and legislation that recom
mended revision of the law appor
tioning gas tax funds, to return to
the counties 20 percent of such
funds instead of the present 15.7,
and to make the apportionment to
each county on the basis of the
equalized assessment figures as
given by the state tax commission
instead of upon the numebr of reg
istered motor vehicles in each coun
ty, as is done at present. Such ac
tion would be more equitable to
retary-treasurer. The executive
committee also adopted a constitu
tion drawn up by a special commit
tee headed by Dean Wayne L. Morse
of the University of Oregon law
school.
The council will have an advisory
council of 40 memebrs, as yet nrt
announced, to carry out the pur
poses of the group. Plans are al
ready under way for a stat ? conven
tion' of the conference to be rWd
during the spring of 1941.
