Senate Defeats Patterson Tithing Bill and New Revenue Plans
The Portland Telegram reports that the Senate rejected the Patterson tithing bill as the joint assessment and taxation committee proposes two new deficit relief measures. One plan diverts the one mill market road tax to the general fund for 1927-28, replacing market road duties with highway bonds repaid by a new tax levy. The second option uses a tobacco license tax with an emergency clause to bypass referendum, aiming to fund highway bonds and state obligations while maintaining current millage limits.

Protests Rise Over Proposed Umatilla Reservation Rent Increase
The Pendleton East Oregonian reports active opposition to proposed rental raises for lands on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. Jim Hill of the Umatilla county farm bureau cites conditions making equalizing rents with nonreservation lands impractical, noting tax exemptions for Indians and extra renter obligations. Major Babcock says increases cover about 10 000 acres and align with last year, while renters would still face cash rents and added duties. J W Maloney of Pendleton visited Athena Tuesday.
