A committee consisting of T. C.
Taylor, NJ. 3. Gwinn, j. r. Dickson.
Elmer Snyder and Dan P. Smythe
was named today by President Alex
ander of the Commercial association,
to serve as a special committee on
taxation and county affairs. 1t is
authorized by the association. to cali
a public meeting in the association
rooms for the purpose Of discussing
the. subject should it flnd such .
gathering advisable.
At the regular monthly meeting last
night the subject of county taxation
was brought up by T. c. Taylor, who
said he had heard complaints that
taxes were too high and that assess
ments in some instances were not
equitable.
The subject was then taken up by
others present, among them being w.
L. Thompson and finally upon mo
ton of Mr.. Taylor it was decided to
appoint a committee for the purpose
outlined above. President Alexander
did not name the committee until
this forenoon.
Tribune Is Censured.
Today members of the Commercial
association have been strong in de-
nouncing the Tribune for the yellow
journalistic attempt it made this
morning TO create political capital
out of the action of the association
last night. According to those pres
ent last night it was not the intention
of the gathering to dabble in any way
with the political campaign and they
resent that the associations action
should be construed into an attack on
the county court or Assessor C. P.
Strain.
However. members of the court and
Assessor Strain also are now anxious
to see the matter carried through 80
that they may have an opportunity to
defend themselves and so it is very
probable that a public meeting will
be held in the near future, at which
time officials and others will be al
lowed to speak.
Other Matters Considered.
Aside from the above subject con-
other business came before
the meeting last night. A communi-
cation from the Portland chamber 0e
commerce advising against a special
train from Portland to Hermiston on
the day of opening the project, was
read. 1t was held that Hermiston
would be unable to care for the
crowd.
A letter from R. B. Miller to Bert
Huffman regarding the experimental
trains from the Washington and Ore
gon agricultural colleges was read.
In his letter Mr. Miller said it would
be impossible for the Pullman train
to be brought through Umatilla coun-
ty, but stated that later in the spring
a train from the oregon agricultural
college would be brought here, Mr..
Huffman was appointed a committee
Of one to represent the association in
trying to induce the Pullman train to
pass through this county.
A committee composed Of Messrs.
Leon Cohen, NJ. B. Gwinn and c. Il
Roosevelt was named to pass upon
he proposition OF having a Pendle-
.on float in the Portland rose fair.
4 communication from the state fair
BOARD asking that $50 be appropriate
I'd for the purpose of maintaining q
,ooth at the state fair was also read.
L was referred to the publicity COM
nittee.
The meeting last night was one OF
he best attended in many months.
