gram, and expressed thanks to the people of Pendleton and other East Oregonians for their work in caring for the convention and entertaining so royally the delegates and visitors; thanked the officers of the association and the legislative committee of the body, Elbert Bede and Bert R. Greer, for their effective work during the late session of the legislature.
The association went on record for the principle of the flat postal rate for newspapers, increased if necessary to no greater extent than 25 per cent over the present rate. Secretary Philip S. Bates’s telegram to Senator McNary announcing the association’s action brought a prompt response from the senator promising to lay the publishers’ views before the senate committee having in charge the house revenue bill, without delay. Senator Chamberlain replied promising his earnest attention, and Representatives C. N. McArthur and W. C. Hawley wrote stating their accord with the views of the association.
Resolutions of sincere sympathy to the relatives of members of the association who died during the year were framed by a committee composed of C. L. Ireland, chair man; Addison Bennett, and E. Hofer, and passed by the association. Those who passed away were Leland Hendricks, assistant editor of the Salem Statesman; John E. Roberts, former publisher of the Vale Enterprise; P. C. Levar, former publisher of the Coquille Heraid; J. H. Upton, veteran connected with many publications in Oregon; and Mrs. T. B. Ford, wife of the association chaplain.
