PAGE TEN The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Tuesday Morning, December 10, 1935 Give Argument For Sales Tax Oaly Method of Financing Pensions, Stated in -Voter Pamphlet : Argument that the state must ota the sales Tax January 31 or throw all the burden of old-age support on county and state tax payers threads the affirmative presentation of the tax case to be made In the voters' pamphlet, soon to be distributed by the secretary of state's office. The argument for the sales tax was filed last weekend. ' "We are facing a graTe condi tion and not a fine theory," the argument runs. "However one may speculate or dream over the problem the fact remains that thousands of our older citizens are In dire need. This moderate tax will meet that need and meet it now. . "Oregon people have never shirked a duty. The state now owes a duty to provide support for the aged needy citizens who no longejr can support them selves. The gross Income tax of fers the means of fulfilling that duty." Over Three Million Proponents of the sales tax say the levy would raise . from $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 In Ore gon each year and that this sum could be put with an equal amount donated by the federal government to provide really ade quate old-age pensions in the state. The special session of the leg islature made it imperative for the state to vote a sales tax if any funds for pensions are pro vided directly this coming year. The session took all levies al ready made by the counties for old-age pensions and declared that these must be set aside for indigents and not used for old age pensions.

Maxine Mann, Depression, a, "maid of color," and both were a compliment to the costume com mittee composed of Mary Alfred, Ruth Shephard. Janet Comstqck and Josephine Spencer. Glenn Breidwell. who has been a favorite with high school play goers since .he came two years ago, proved his ability to hold the sympathy and interest of his audience. Breidwell played the leading role as "Do Cutter, the young playwright; and Mar gery Hillman, who has been par ticularly successful in high school operettas, was a charming com plement in the part as "Lucille Marcy," who was "not so crozy." Other characters were !WinR," Robert Yokum; "Friscilla," Erna Boescb; "Lady MacBeth." Jean Tomison; "John- Alden." Lyly Pettyjohn: "Mrs. Kluck," Ruth Fuarue; "Gertrude Finch." Lois Gal; "Mrs. T.
