Sounding a warning against the

SCISSOR Strain last night before the
Commercial association urged that
some action be taken to oppose the
measure which Is being advocated by
the state tax commission at Salem.
President TalIman, after a discus
sion Of the subject, was instructed to
act as a committee OF one to confer
further with Mr.. Strain. find out
what Is being done in other counties
against the measure, and then take
what action would seem necessary.
The proposal Is to separate the tax
es derived from certain public utili-
ties and make them payable directly
into the state treasury instead OF be-
ing assessed and collected by the va
rious counties as at present. under
which arrangement. Mr.. Strain de-
clared. Umatilla county would be the
loser by several million dollars. 1t
is presumed that railroads would be
the first utilities assessed directly by
the state, and then. IL these were
not sufficient or satisfactory under
the proposed amendment. banks or
other public corporations would be
liable for assessments. Under the
present methods. Umatilla county re-

: DAYS Of 49" MAY
Be HELD THIS FALL
EVENING ENTERTAINMENT PRO-
POSED FOR FAIR PAVILION
DURING ROUNDUP.

"The DAYS of '49" is likely to be on7
of the big attractions in connection
with the three days Roundup this
year if plans which were proposed at
the Commercial club meeting last
night are carried out successfully.
A committee comprising w. L.
Thompson. George Hartman, Jr.. l.
G. Frazier and ]. V. Tallman. secured
the promise of Major Moorhouse this
morning for the use of the county fair
grounds and the big attraction will be
staged there. Action toward securing
the grounds was taken at the meeting
of the Commercial club last evening
when Mr.. Frazier brought the pro-
posed plans to the attention of the
members. A real Days of 40" may
be the final plan decided upon al
though such a suggestion is but ten
tative and some other attraction may
be decided as coon as the committee
gets together to discuss the plans.
But the scheme has been put into op-
Grafton and will be brought to some
kind of termination which will give
the visitors to the Roundup this year
something new to talk about.
The proposal is to have something
at the fair grounds which will enter
tain the big throng in the evening
hours and incidentally bring some
welcome coin into the Golfers OF the
Roundup board. A first-class band
or some other equally attractive en-
tertainment would be probably secur-
ed to fill out the program in connec-
ton with Days of '4e" celebration
and it is believed that thousands would
flock to the fair grounds to enjoy the
diversion afforded.
