STATE BANKERS URGE
INCOME TAX REPEAL

Seaside, Or.-Bankers of Oregon in
convention here voiced in resolutions
adopted their disapproval Of Oregon's
state income tax and their desireofor
modification of the direct primary
system.
The resolution regarding the state
income tax recommended the repeal
of the existing law and opposed the
enactment of any new state income
tax measure until such time as the
neighboring states of California and
Washington have done so.
The Oregon direct primary law,
said the resolution adopted on that
subject, needed amendment in such
a way as to make possible the draft
ing of men of the highest attributes Of
character and ability for election to
public office.
Claude D. Rorer, president of the
Bank Of Commerce of Eugene, was
elected president of the association.

that they have succeeded in introduc-

fact that the iron workers who put

appalling hazard to their own lives,
