Senator Magnuson (D.-Wash.)
declares, that "anyone making
up to $2,400 a year should be ex
empt from all Income taxes."
He also said In a statement that
he intends to offer legislation de
signed to change the existing
laws to grant such exemptions
and simplify what he said was
the too complicated method of
figuring the taxes.
"Anyone making up to $2,400
a year should be exempt from all
income taxes," Magnuson said.
"Persons in that Income bracket
with families can't live when
they have to pay taxes in addi

income before deductions.
The senator said he felt that
taxes should be simplified so any
taxpayer can compute what he
owes in "15 minutes."
"Most of the objection to our
income taxes," Magnuson said,
"is that by the time an individual
has finished his computation he
is worn out and in a dreadful
humor. There is no reason why
our income taxes can't be based
upon what he needs for revenue
and be made so simple it will
be no task to figure them. That
is what my legislation will seek
to bring about."

Oregon Vegetable
Production in '46
Sets Hew Record
By PAUL W. HARVEY, JR.
SALEM, Ore. (A") Oregon's
vegetable production has more
than doubled during the war
years, the U. S. Department of
Agriculture reports.
The 1946 vegetable crop. In
cluding that, produced for the
fresh market and for processing,
totaled 3id,100 tons, a gain of 14
per cent over 1945, and more than
double the 1939 harvest The
1946 production was gathered
from 98,800 acres, compared with
37,000 acres in 1939.'
Of the vegetables crown for
1 processing, the tonnage of tpeas
and sweet corn was up consider
ably from 1945. The snap bean
crop was about the same, and
t beet tonnage was down.
Cantaloupe, lettuce and onion
I crops showed the largest in-
1 creases over 1945.
! The value of the 1946 -truck
, crop was $17,194,000, ' or three
per cent less than in 1345. Lower
prices caused the drop.
I Price Drops Offset
Prices received by farmers on
November 15 stood at 254 per
cent of the 1935-39 average, a
drop of one point from the pre
ceding month, but 30 per cent
higher than in November 1945.
Declines in the prices of apples,
chickens and turkeys were offset
by increases in wheat, oats, barley
and hay.
Prices paid by ' farmers on
November 15 were 66 per cent
above the 1935-39 average.
: The federal crop reporting
service says the value of Oregon's
principal crops in 1946 was $237,
500,000, a gain of 19 per cent over
1945. and about 31 times the
. value of ihe 1939 crop.
1 Since the federal government
predicted the 1947 wheat crop will
be the largest in history, growers
are advised to start looking now
lor storage facilities, and to make
other plans for handling their
crop.
Pig Crop Declines
Oregon's fall Die ctod is down.
During the six months ended De
cember 1, 105,000 pigs were saved.
24 per cent less than were saved
a year earlier.

bined totaled 279,000 head, or 6
per cent less than in 1945.

Remember the old story? Where the teacher said:
"Jimmy, how would you divide three apples
among four people?" And Jimmy answered:
"Make apple sauce!"
We wish Jimmy could solve our problem
that easily. So far we've led the whole world in
production of postwar cars . . . delivering
thousands of 1946 Fords. But we still have
unfilled orders for over a million more.
' " You know the reason for the lag in
filling those orders... the lnbor shortages,
the material shortages, and all those other t ' ;
hitches in getting back to normal. - ' ,
That doesn't leave us many apples to divide.
And as fair and square as we try to be, we just
can't make apple sauce from automobiles. But '
what we can do is tell you what a great Ford
you've got coming up in your future. )
; ' ' And while you're waiting, one other thing ,
we can do is urge you to let us keep an eye
on your present Ford to protect your safety,
comfort and investment.

. tut mint m ITx
representative, In alayzlng a
study by the Institute of Life In
surance. First In the nation are District
of Columbia families with $6,400
in life Insurance. New York Is
second with $6,200.
Amount per family In other
western states Is as follows: Cali
fornia $3,300; Idaho, $2,200; Utah,
$3,300; Washington, $2,700.
Quine said this analysis reveals
the vast need for life insurance
on the Pacific coast, especially
since the per canita Income In the
Pacific and inter-mountain re
gions stands near the top. The
Standard Insurance Company has
written over $17 million In new
life insurance during 1946, an all
time high in its 40-year history,
and 62 per cent In excess of the
company's previous record made
in 1945.
