Bridge Is Withheld The Willamette river bridge situa- i tion, according to the common o.xpres-1 sion of the legal fraternity, remains in i ''status quo" which means, according' to street parlance, "there is nothing doing." The county courts of Marion and I Polk county discussed the bridge pro position all yesterday afternoon and ! adjourned to meet again. In a most 1 friendly way they are proceeding with their investigations and the meeting j yesterday afternoon behind closed doors was a general discussion of the situation. The Polk county court has a plan for a cement bridge from Court street, but none from Center street. Judge Kirkpatrick and his commissioners are willing to concede to Marion county the lcoation of the bridge and this will practically mean that Center street will be the location. But ns there is p. general feeling in Polk county that the bridge should be of cement anil the next proposition to in vestigate is whether the proper founda tions can be sunk for a cement bridge at the Center street location. Polk county has heretofore been figuring on a Court street bridge and has no data as yet as to whether a cement bridge is advisable from Center street. The session of the two courts ad journed yesterday afternoon -with no definite time arranged for another meeting. It is understood that the committee from the Commercial club appointed to arrange ror rne pnuwi i i"c bridge can go ahead with building the 800 feet approach on the Polk county side and the planking, but the railway official will give no permission to use the bridge until the two county courts have signed a contract for a new bridge. Hence, everything remains in ''status quo." CITY NEWS : Word was received that Attorney W. ('. Winslow's father, a resident of Polk county, died this afternoon from a stroke of paralysis. Professor Sweetzer of the University of Oregon will deliver a lecture this evening at the First Presbyterian church taking for his subject, "Christ as a Teacher." o The state legislature, or as many as cave to go, will visit the state uni versity at Eugene.

Governor Withycombo spoke in favor of a more elastic system of taxation, rather than the six per cent limitation. He said that California and Washing ton were expending large sums in adver tising and thnt occasion might arise in Oregon where it would be advisable to raise more than six per cent of the for mer year's levy. Ho thought that tax ation should be more elastic, especial ly as the great resources of the state had scarcely been touched. Senator La Follette was not in favor of paving more state money to the in dustrial accident commission and cited what had been done in 32 other states. He thought the commission should he self sustaining. This subject was dis cussed by many delegates. A resolution committee was appoint ed this morning, of the following: C. E. Spence, chairman; James Stewart, K. E. Brodie of Clackamas; George Miller of Union county; Henry Heed of Mult nomah county; O. T. Taylor of Clatsop; Elbert Bede of Lane county. The session was called to order by Senator Walter M. Pierce of La Grande, who addressed the session. This morning the following resolution on the 6 per cent tax limitation was introduced: Whereas, the 6 per cent tax limitation amendment adopted by the people of Oregon as part of its constitution, is being interpreted by many tax levying bodies as a guarantee of the privilege of Increasing tax levies 6 per cent each and every year, ami Whereas, when so applied, it com pounds annually until at the end of tea years the increase ot taxation is about 181 per cent over what it was in the year 1910, when taxes already were burdensome, therefore be it Resolved, that it is the sense of the State Taxpayers' League, in regular convention assembled, at Salem, Ore gon, January 27, 1917, that notice be served by local and county taxpayers associations upon all tax levying bod ies that the application of the 6 per cent limitation as a guaranteed in crease of 6 per cent eompoundo dannual- lv should not be tolerated by public sentiment and will accumulate ruinous burdens upon the taxpayers of the state, ami be it further Resolved, that we recommend that the subject of how to readjust period ically such tax levies as increase at the compound rate of 6 per cent per annum be made a special order for dis cussion and report at the first 1918 meeting of the league, and be it forth er. , . Resolved, that a committee be ap pointed by the president to prepare a report upon this subject, with recom mendations for consideration by this league. The resolution committee this after noon reported to indefinitely postpone the resolution presented providing that state aid should be withdrawn from the state industrial accident commission when tho act is made compulsory. A mo tion was passed providing that before the league committed Itself to any res olution, it must be carried by a two thirds vote.
