The tax question has been taken up

The tax question has been taken up
by the Pendleton Commercial Associa-
tion, with the result that committee
has been appointed to Investigate and
report on conditions as it finds them.
Surely the Pendleton Tribune is 10 er
ror when it states that the association
has clothed this committee with au-
tority that extends over the actions of
the county court, and with power to
supervise the expenditure of county
funds. Such could be the case, hardly.
There is but one Tammany association
that of New York City. OF course,
the Tribune, being on the ground floor
of affairs at the county seat, may have
basis for its statements in the matter,
but it will be necessary for that paper
to inaugurate campaign of education
for the people of the county along this
line. The Tritune should do it by
degrees, too. To bolt the whole chunk,
is a gastronomic feat which should
not be expected of the I'm atilla coun
