Report to This Effect to
Meeting of Body Today.
COUNTY AGENTS OFFICE
WOULD BE AB0Ll lSHED
Also Recommendation Made
100000 Of Market Road
Taxes be Clipped From List.

A demand that assessment of nrop.
erty in the county be made at a low
er valuation now than it has been Civ
en- during the past few years when 1t
was worth more was the plea made
by j. A. Fee, president of the Umatilla
County Taxpayers lague, in his ad-
dress this afternoon to the member
ship of the league in the meeting
which was held at the court house.
Blame for the high valuation which
now exists was not placed on any Of
ficial or individual, the speaker de-
clared, but in the future, IL n remedy
is not found, the taxpayer can find
fault with no one except himself. To
see that taxes are lowered is the duty
Of the taxpayer, according to the
speaker.
Following the speech of the presi-
dent, ]. II. Hinlkle of Hermlston, chair
man of the committee of three, ap-
pointed at the first meeting to consult
with the county budget committee and

concentrations it contained were as
follows:
Recommended that the budget as
proposed by the county budget COM
mittee he reduced approximately
$156.000.

was for a saving of more than $100, 600
on the market road tax; the elimlna-
tion of the appropriation for the home
demonstration agent and for the coun-
ty agent; the elimination of the office
Of special prohibition agent.
In addition heavy reduction OF
the funds for the county library is
asked in the report and II is recom-
mended that the upkcep of the coun-
ty offices be cut materially. The
coyote bounty would be eliminated.
too II the report is followed TO the
letter.
The roadmaster's job would be dis
pensed with, and the road mechanic
would also be dismissed, according TO
the report.
