branded false and "asinine double

no four-power agreements exist

"Everything they say In this
matter is not true, declared the
spokesman, Lt. Col. Beverley E.
Sleadman, chief of the AMG Air

Steadman said the Russian con

to restrict air traffic into block

Pension, Fish,
Bonus Bills
Wait Verdicts
Liquor By Drink, Tapping
Of Income Tax Surplus
Also On Oregon Ballot
By PAUL W. HARVEY Jr.
SALEM Ore., Oct. 28. )
Oregonians have voted on old
age pensions at almost every
election In the past 15 years, so
this year's pension proposal will
be nothing new. It has been de
feated several times, both in the
legislature and the people.
The bill directs the legislature
to pay $50 monthly minimum pen
sions, compared with a little over
$40, which now is the average.
It would kick out the ruonc
Welfare Commission, and have
pensions horsed by a man ap
pointed by the governor.
The measure makes no provi
sion to finance the extra pen
sions, so the legislature would
have to levy new taxes, these
new taxes then would undoubted
ly be referred to the. people, who
probably would vote them down,
as Oregon people have done for
years on new taxes.
To Restore Exemptions
The next measure would reduce
income taxes by increasing ex
emptions, and it's a sure thing
to pass.
The last legislature submitted
the sales tax to the people, and
rigged it up' so that if the people
defeated the sales tax, they would
get higher income taxes. The
people defeated the sales tax,
and got their exemptions lowered
from $1,500 to $1,000 for married
persons, and from $750 to $500
for single persons.
So the State Federation of
Labor put this measure on the
ballot to restore the $1,500 and
$750 exemptions.
There is much controversy over
the next Initiative, which would
allow hotels, restaurants, clubs
and trains to sell liquor by the
drink if they serve meals. The
sponsors, which are the hotels,
State Federation of Labor and
American Federation of Musi
clans, claim it would help busi
ness, and they say It is unfair
for a person to have to buy a
whole bottle to get a drink.
But the opponents, mainly the
Oregon Council of Churches, say
lt means the return of the saloon,'
pointing out that a hotel or res
taurant can serve liquor any
place on the premises, not Just
where meals are served.
Vets' Bonus Proposed
Newspaper opinion polls Indi
cate that the people want the
veterans' bonus bill, altho none of
the veterans' organizations has en
dorsee lt. itB sponsor is Koiancl
mm
C. Bartlett, Portland, a Demo
cratic candidate for Congress.
It would give maximum bon
uses of $500 for each veteran,
based on $15 for each month of
domestic duty, and $25 for each
month of overseas duty. But the
bill, while authorizing $42,000,000
worth of bonus to finance the
bonuses, makes no provision to
retire the bonds. That would be
some more taxes for the legis
lature to figure out.
Some lawyers claim the bill is
worded incorrectly, charging that
Oregon National Guardsmen who
entered service before Pearl Har
bor, would not get their bonuses.
No Fist Fight Seen
The lflth measure on the ballot
prohibits salmon fishing in the
Columbia silver and tributaries
with fixed gear, such as fish
traps, pound nets, fish wheels,
set nets, weirs, or seines.
The sports fishermen and the
commercial fishermen are agreed
on it, so the voters have been
spared the usual fish fight be
tween those two groups.
The last measure " gives the
voters a big chance. They can
vote new taxes and it won't cost
them a cent.
Would Loosen Surplus
The state will have a deficit
of $6,400,000 at the end of this
two-year period. But there is
more than $40,000,000 piled up
in income tax surpluses. These
surpluses can be used only to re
duce property taxes.
So the measure, submitted by
the Legislature, provides that
$6,400,000 in property taxes shall
be levied. But this property tax
would be wiped out by the same
amount of income tax surpluses.
All it amounts to is using in
come tax surpluses to wipe out
the deficit, but under the com
plicated legal machinery, you
have to go all around Robin
Hood's barn to get there.
If the deficit remains by de
feat of this measure, then the
Legislature would have to levy
other taxes which would be al
most certain to be referred to
the people and be defeated.
