MYERS URGES LEGAL
ACTION UPON DUTIES
(Coottaueit rrm pac 1 r f -
present law permits a loss of In
terest of at least $1,000 per an
num. Treasurer Myers finds. He
urges that the law be amended,
compelling the state treasurer to
keep all In excess of 150,000, the
highest dally average, in inactive
depository banks earning Interest;
it fa also recommended that the
law relating to state depositories
be changed and that all deposits
of state funds be made upon com
petitive bidding by the banks of
the state. Present facilities for
protecting the several millions of
dollars In securities are held to
be entirely inadequate and a state
vault Is needed, he declares.
Sections 4339 and 4340. Oregon
laws, pertaining to state taxes are
not sufficiently clear and need
changes, .Treasurer Myers . be
lieves. .,
Irrigation Deplorable
Employment of one of the best
financial business men of the state
witli power t6 act, subject to the
approval of a controlling board,
is the only Intelligent solution of
the irrigation district problem,
Treasurer Myers holds.
'Many of the irrigation districts
in our state are in bad financial
condition," he says. "On Oct. 31,
1924. the bonded debt of all the
irrigation districts was $1-4, 872,-
906.95; the amount due the Btate
on interest wa3 $1. 607, 740,. There
:
are 13,130 owners of land and the
amount of taxes delinquent, not
including 1924, is $784,537. 6S. A
much greater loss will be Incurred
ifthe districts are allowed to re
main in their present condition."
: C'haiip Inheritance- Tax
1 Five recommendations are made
In regard to the inheritance tax.
As a result of. the administrative
machinery provided for the col
lection of the tax Is beginning to
be inadequate. In order to facili
tate matters Treasurer Myers sug
gests that a preliminary report
should be required., the adminis
trator or executor should be re
quired to make a sworn statement
of all property- transferred by de
cedent In contemplation of death
or within five years o hts death;

the taxing language of certain
sections need consideration as well
as the section regarding the ex

been the source of litigation and
should be amended so as to make

purpose of the bequest and not
the nature of the trustee; legis

of estate tax -rates, as distinguish
