In view of the failure of the Call-!

fit of competitive bidding. A
meeting of tho board of directors ;

Three New Tax
Bills Offered to
Oregon Voters
(Auooiutfil l'rpn U-mm1 Wire)
SALEM, Ore., Aug. 10. A break
has occurred between H. H. Stul
lard and George Bylander, bolh of
Portland, it is indicuted in a let tor
received by Secretary of State Ko
zer from Bylander who requests
that his name be withdrawn from
Ihfi i urn in ft Inv Mtul t'A fltitnnmlillo
license petitions initiated several
weeks ago. , .
Bylander personally submits two
new income tax and $3 automobile
license measures fur ballot titles!
The distinguishing feature of his
Income tax measure is that It gives
all of the income tax revenue ju
excess or $40,000 to the state high
way fund annually, apparently an
offset to the reduced automobile
license fee which is also- being
sponsored by Bylander. - Higher
rates of taxation and larger exemp
tions are provided, the rate on the
first $9,000 of taxable Income' be
ing one per cent while the- rate
on Incomes - In ' excess -of . thin
amount would be ten per cent' Ex
emptions are fixed ut $2,000 ; for
single persons and at $4,000 for
man-led persons or heads, of fami
lies with $400 exempted for each
dependent. , .
A flat automobile license -fee of
$3 per year for pleasure motor ve
hicles up to 3,000 pounds and of
$5 for those weighing in excess of
3,000 ' pounds is proposed by By
,lander in his other measure. Peos
on trucks and busses would-remain
the same as present. '...
