The resolution was finally forced to a vote, carrying by the above vote. The legislative amendments en dorsed were an amendment abolishing the poll tax; an amendment declaring that the power of the legislature and people to make tax laws should not be surrendered; and an amendment pro viding that the people or legislature may pass laws providing for' collec tion of state, county and munlcpal taxes, and the apportionment of state taxes.

GOVERM APPOINTS A COLOIIIST DAY PROCLAMATION. Stute of Oregon,. Executive. Depart ment, Salem, February 13, 1914. Oregon Is waiting for colonists. Her unclaimed acres need settlers. Farms need to be peopled and cleared, orchards to be planted and cultivated, homes to be founded. The state awaits investment, and Indus trious and well dltcted effort. For this It offers unbounded opportunity, prosperity and" success. Oregon does not need the city man, subsisting upon a dally wage, ex cept as ho may follow the Institu tion of the factory, tho workshop and the business houiie, or the de velopment and the ultlvatlon of tho farm. Oregon needs investors, active men with active nionoy and efficient ef fort. She needs energetic men to people tho vacant places and reap the abundant products of a fruitful soil. Oregon noeds rural development, men who have the training, the capability, the energy and the money to build homes and achlove Independence In the country. True prosperity demands that the cities do not outstrip snd over-balance tho country. If we build up the country districts, the cities will keep abreast with their factories, mills, shops and store. It has been the cuHtom In the past to set aside a day to be known as Colonist Day, at which time It was urged that all Oregon people write to Eastern friends, telling them of the opportunities here and Inviting them to cast their lots with us. It Is proper, as loyal "nd patriotic citi zens ot Oregon, for us to draw a trim picture of the stale nd lis possibili ties, for our Eastern friend, for the truth need no embellishment. Now, tliorefore, I, Oswald Went, governor, by virtue of the authority In me vested, and In view of tho fore going premises, do henhy appoint and proclaim Thursday, February 22, to be known as Colonist Day 'Now, dear governor, you can see Into this what a man can realize out tl'roi'Khout the statu of Oregon, and of such a piece, with a house full of 1 earnestly recommend that all the children and a sick woman and pay- I""! on thl day write their friends lng doctor bills.
