quent taxes outstanding in his coun-
ty that could not be collected unless

Rep Miller spoke strongly against
his bill. 1t would cripple aud
'lace at a disadvantage. 1t would
10 great harm to thus compel our
ruit dryers, who sold four.fifths of
heir fruit outside.
Rep Reed was positive Il would
work IA great hardship TO Oregon
ruit interest.
Rep Dustin considered the inter.
sls ot consumers. The hill did not
pply TO fruit shipped In from other (
Iates.

lent applied 20 dried fruit that ;
pplied to the olcomargarine law. 5
Rep McCnkeu said the sulphur 4
