Change In Multnomah Co.
Assessments Would Make
More Vets' Loans Possible
By PAUL W. HARVEY, Jr..
SALEM i The slat Veterans
Department will get authority la
siue another 37 million dollar
worth of bondi if Multnomah
County Assessor Wiley W. Smith
carriei out his plan to place his
county on true cash value, stale
financial experts agree Wednesday
The department's operations
now are curtailed because K has
reached the constitutional limit of
veterans bonds eaual to 4 Der cent
of the state's assessed valuation.
The bonds are used to finance
Veterans' purchases of farms and
homes.
Smith's action would be to
double the county'i property valu
ation by switching from assessed
value to true cash value.
Increase Valuation
The effect would be to increase
the state's assessed valuation
from $2,150,000,000 to S3.1U0.000.
000. This is the . base on which
bonds can be issued for veterans'
loans.
If Smith carriei out hit plan,
the state can -issue the additional
37 million dollar worth of veter
ans bonds by mid-August.
The department now is making
about a million dollars worth of
loans a month, but is forced to
finance all of that through mort
gage repayments on outstanding
loans, because of lack of authority
to issue more bonds. The depart
ment said if it had the money, it
could issue four times that
amount.
Te Veto On Issue
The people will vole in Novem
ber on a proposed constitutional
amendment to increase the veter
ans bonding limit to 6 per cent
of the assessed valuation, which
would permit another 45 millions
of bonds on the present valuation
basis.
However, Smith's action would
accomplish almost the same re
sult. If he goes ahead with his
plan, then the additional bonding
capacity, u voiea ny me people,
i would be on top of that accom
plished by Smith.
I Smith's action would have no
effect on school bonds, because
.they already are based on true
I cash value.
I Smith's plan, however, would
make it possible for the Legisla
ture to authorize additional huh-
jway, higher education and refor
estation bonds- without having to
amend the Constitution.
! State Tax Commission officials
j said they believe that if Smith j
' does f o on a true cash value, the
! state will have to accept it as
final.
Woman's Suit
Against Indian
Bureau Dismissed
PORTLAND 11 A U.S. Dis
trict Court judge Tuesday dis
missed the suit of a woman who
sought to stop the Bureau of
Indian Affairs from cutting tim
ber on the Klamath Reservation.
Judge William East said that
the suit of Mrs. Coralie Crawford
Nelson was filed to have an act
of Congress declared ' unconstitu
tional. Because of thai, he said, only
a court of three federal judges
could act.
And East ruled that he will not
request such a hearing because
no substantial constitutional ques
tion is involved.
Mrs. Nelson said in the suit that
the Bureau of Indian Affairs had
no authority to make contracts for
the sale of reservation timber.
The federal act which termi
nates control of the reservation
vested timber rights in the tribe,
she said.
Mrs. Nelson, a member of the
tribe, said that 19S7 amendments
to the termination act were uncon
stitutional because they author
ized salt oi the timber.

Potato Growers Given Warning
WASHINGTON - Secretary

lead (hem into overproduction of
late summer and fall crop pota-l
toes this year. i

cate excessive plantings are being I
planned in some areas. He umed
growers to reconsider their plans i
so as to avoid "both the cost of i
; planting unnecessary acres and
i the production of a pnee-depree-
! ititf aiirnlu '
Prices have climbed to rela
tively high levels in recent weeks,
reflecting fi-eeze damage caused
to the winter crop in Southern
states. -
Benson said the government
will continue to spend money on di
verting seasonal potato surpluses
into livestock feed and other by
product uses if the industry dues
not try to help itself.

production were said to include
