". Intangibles. . - i j
The commission said its reason;
for this stand was not contradic
tory to its former statements and
that it desired to conserve tor the
state the moneys already secured
along with much more the com-;
mission feels available. '
The specific point on which the
former intangible act met its Wa-
terloo was the decision of the j
court that the 1929 measure was;
a property tax since it assessed aj
S per cent tax on the gross of in-i
tanrlble rerenue. irrespective of;
f how mneh money was borrowed j
for 1 their . purchase or to carry
them. On this basis; the court
held, all intangibles held by cor
porations must be included under)
an amendment to tne eonimauon
providing that direct taxes must
be levied equally among all hold
era of the property. Since the old
intangibles act did not assess in
come from intangibles held by cor
porations, the court held the mea
sure discriminatory. .
Haled Not Tar 1
Upon property.
Courts hare ruled, the tax com
missioners said yesterday, that a
tax on the net Income from In
tangible, revenue, rather than on
the gross Income, was not a tax
on property was but a true tax on
income, and as .such could be lev
led on Individuals and not on cor
porations, and yet be within the
t provisions of the constitutional
amendment.
The tax commission feels that
with the excise tax operative on
corporations, with an income tax
operative on individuals and with
a further income tax on individu
als on net revenue received from
money and credits, the move to
add intangible property to the as
sessment - and taxation, - roll . will
be well under way.
A preliminary hearing was held
bn the two measures yesterday at
a joint meeting of the assessment
and taxation committees of both
houses, i When the bills come in
next week they are expected to
hear names of legislators rather

to the board . of r .ntrol submit
ted a statement of "apparent
OTerchargesi which if allowed
would reduce the deficit $39.-
773.01. His letter further said:
Taking the report as a whole
we feel rery much encouraged in
view of all the circumstances
and problems surrounding ; the
development of this Industry, j
The state of Oregon has up
to ; this time and including this
year subsidized tne growing or
flax In a very substantial way.
The flax Industry has been
Americanised from the orthodox
methods employed in Europe and
the United Kingdom.
"The plants have never run
full time throughout any year.
with the overhead expenses nat
urally having to be carried on
for the entire year."
The comparative balance aheet
shows that the deficit at the be
ginning, of the period was $64,-
915.49; and lat the end $278.
949.11. The cash position had
altered from $68,949.26 in 1927
to $900.22 In 1930. Of the
$245,000 emergency appropria
tion granted in August, ?830,
cash balance of $553.36 re
mained on! September 30. I
The inventory Of flax .roducts
increased $116,103.50 in the
rlod and the inventory of flax
pollers decreased $16,491.68,
The Investment In flax bulKlngt

this amount $416,997.17 carried
provisions for repayment ; aha
$380,000 carried no such pro
visions. : f
: The audit was first begun in
May, 1930, but the books were
not posted so the audit had to be
delayed until entries could be
posted, being resumed the latter
part of November. The auditor
says: "This condition was caused
by the bookkeeper apparently
having." too much other clerical
work." ;
Depressloav Hits Industry ' :
: The report comments on the
effect of the business depression
on the flax Industry as follows:
"This industry like many
other business enterprises, has
felt the depression existing in
the markets of the world to a
considerable degree. The price
received for the rarlous products
at the present time is much be
low that! received a year . ago.
There is ialso. I am informed, al
most no market for some of the
products.' This has -caused the
sales of receipts to be greatly
reduced while the expenses of
operation remain practically the
same."
The report, being a financial
one, doea not touch on the ralne
to the institution in having ; tch
an industry for the occupation of
the convicts; nor does it remark
npon the value to agriculture
and to state, development of the
industry. i ; .
Now Before Legislature
It is expected with the filing
of this auditor's report that the
audit by accountants for i the
ways and means committee will
not be considered' further. The
problems of the flax industry are
expected to be aired in sessions
of the ways and means commit
tee. ; . -
The state flax Industry is a
part of the penitentiary plant of
which Henry W. Meyers is su
perintendent. The direct man
agement of the industry Is In the
hands of Col. W. B. Bart ram.
The general authority over the
whole institution rests in. the
state board of control.
The board of control Is known
to have devoted much thought to
the problems of the industry.
Recently "U ordered a reduction
in acreage to be contracted for
in 1931. Its further actions
have awaited tr , audit which
members of tho board are now

Miss Lena Belle . Tartar, con
tralto, scored a triumph with, her
audience Thursday night, when
she appeared in a delightfully
well balanced sola recital in
Waller halL accompanied by
Dorothy-Pearee, :
From the depth of "Qui aedes
ad ( d ex tram" by Bach, through
"Aaf Dem Meere" by Frans
Dia Mainaehf, Brahmst the
dramatle "O Don TaUle' Verdi j
the soft '"Zuelgnnng, Strauss,
and ; Into the modern lighter
things Miss Tartar sang with
ease and swift and sure adapta
tion of Interpretation and dra
matis expression. .
For a rolee so distinctly a
deep contralto, the modulations
and fine shadings of tone were
quite outstanding. In "Zneing-
nung- and Dle Nacht" the ef
fect; was. almost that of a de
lightful lullaby, tha tones were
so soft and carrassinsr. ret hack
of them was a secure power that
was; distinctly felt in "O Don
Fatale".
Mlsa TarUr h.s the sort of
roice which makes one wish that
she j would elng without accom
paniment so that no tone nor
finest shading would be lest In
the piano tones.
The Thursday night program
was; sponsored . by the American
Legion auxiliary and it was the
first- time that Miss Tartar has
appeared. in recital in Salem for
a very long time. Her first pro
gram this year was given in Eu
gene. Her reception in Salem,
while not as large as it should
have been, made up in enthusi
asm! what it lacked in number.
Encores v were demanded i and
were graciously given. !
