(Continued on Page Pour) New Tax Ruling Major Problem "" To Many Firms Firms or corporations, including creameries, co-operative organiza tions, etc., are facing a new problem over the country today with the news that the Internal revenue department ' has reversed itself and now declares i that any draft Issued which carries I with It "any obligation" on the part, of a bank, to pay. Is subject to the1 two-cent tax on checks. Firms that Issue scores and sometimes hundreds of checks a day, previously handled i under a plan that avoided the tax, j are facing a difficult situation in that payment of the tax, with the margin of profit so low at present; anyhow, would be an almost unbear able financial burden, it Is said. Firms In La Grande deeply con cerned by the new ruling, today were1 studying the proposition and were hopeful of working out some new system whereby they could avoid the heavy tax. IIUMNO REVERSED PORTLAND. Ore., Aug. 10 (Special) As far back as June 30, the Port land revenue office Issued Its inter pretation of the new tax law enacted by congress, holding in effect that drafts drawn on firms, corporations or individuals payable, at or through a bank were taxable. This interpre tation was overruled July 13 by the revenue office In Washington, D. O. The position taken previously by the Portland office has now been upheld In revised regulations, just received here and which are effective immed iately. The new regulations read: "A draft in form; drawn upon the drawer or upon any officer of the drawer, and made payable at or through a designated bank Is an order for the payment of money and subject to the tax, unless the bank Is under no obligation to the drawer direct or implied to pay Buch instru ment and is without authority to charge the amount thereof against an account of the drawer. The in strument would not be BUbJect to the tax In the absence of both obligation and authority." In a statement issued by T. P. Cramer Jr.. secretary, Oregon Bank ers' association, and sent to all mem ber bankers, he quotes tho following memorandum prepared by Thomas B. Pa ton, general counsel, American Bankers' association. "The above is quite plain and definite and the amended regulation is doubtless designed to meet the growing practice of Issuing largo numbers of checks to order of drawer, (Continued on Page Four) Dunne's Bill To Oust Education ' Board Completed ' PORTLAND.

By Victor Eubank (Associated Press Financial Writer) NEW YORK, Aug. 10 iff) Plans for the Improvement of trade relations with soviet Russia are being discussed in Important political and financial circles. Outside of the old-fashioned system of Darter and exchange, how ever, those interested find that meth ods of extending further credit to the soviet republic present perplexing problems. ' . , While there are no official figures showing the present Indebtedness on the soviet union to the rest of the world, last October It was estimated at somewhere near $436,000,000, Debts due American manufacturers, aggre gating $40,000,000, are due, this year and in 1933-34. Russian Exports Curtailed Russian exports have been sharply curtailed during the past year owing to the world slump In commodity prices. For some months the soviet government has had considerable difficulty In obtaining foreign exr change. The result has been that American corporations have tighten ed their credit regulations or have declined to deal in other than very short term credit. . Barter Plan Considered , Notwithstanding the shortness of money and credit, one large Ameri can firm Is at present negotiating a Darter arrangement witn tne Rus sians whereby It is hopea to ex change certain machinery, badly needed by the Soviets, for commodi ties usable in this country.

The object of this concession to the south ern and eastern Norma! schools Is to distribute the benefits of general col lege studies to as wide an area of the state as possible. Students persuing such .general studies, which ore ele ments in the regular teacher-training curriculum, are able to obtain lower division credits applicable toward the Junior certificate at either Eugene or Corvallls." Eastern Oregon students who thus desire to obtain their lower division work conveniently near their homes and most economically can find at La Grande courses In art, biological science, economics, educa tion, English literature, French, Ger man, health and physical education, history, mathematics, music, physical sciences, psychology, sociology, speech arte and drama, and written English, credit for which Is transferable to ward upper division standing. Cost Not So Great Recent estimates by the division of public information of the state board of higher education disclose that the costs for education at La Grande and Ashland are much less than at the university and state col lege. The average estimated cost at Eugene and Corvallls, exclusive of clothing and railroad fare, Is $674.00 per school year, while a similar esti mate of annual costs at the Normal schools is $348.00. This represents an annual saving or $226.00 beside the saving in railroad fare to Eastern Oregon students who do their first two years of college work at the East ern Oregon Normal school.

Thorn In Gang land's Bide For three years Johnson, a qulot slender little mbn of 58, has stood as a thorn in the side of Chicago's gangland. The way to decimate gang land's ranks, he reasoned, was to strike at them with the Income tax, and strike he did.
