Infant Paralysis At Scotts Mills A case of Infantile paralysis the third in the county this year, has been found in the Noble school district above Scotts Mills Dr. Vernon A. Douglas, county health officer, announced yester day afternoon. The disease has so far affected the victim, a four- year old boy, in the legs. Dr. Douglas expects to receive a report today from Irma Le Riche, health nurse, as to details of the case, where the infection may have originated and how se rious it is. i The other two cases this year occurred in January. A man who was one of the patients was left in a crippled condition; a 2? year old boy recovered his ability to walk after undergoing treat ment at Doernbecher hospital.

In district 11 they would end at the Scotts Mills road. Claim Presented Testimony was taken before Judge L. H.

Tax Bill Clarified Here Tokens Not Provided For; Only Exemptions Are Those Designated Use of tokens - for fractional values of a cent, which have caus ed considerable dissatisfaction In the state of Washington, are not permissable under the Oregon sales tax bill, Attorney General Van Winkle advised Governor Martin in an opinion handed down Friday. The sales tax was approved at the last legislative session but will go before the 'voters at the special election January 31. Funds derived from the sales tax would be used for the payment of old age pensions and for the relief of the needy blind. Ten specific questions pro pounded by Governor Martin were answered by the attorney general. The answers were: It was estimated that the tax would raise at least $3,000,000 annually under present conditions and probably would be increased to S3.500.000 or $4,000,000 by 1937. All tangible personal property, other than that specifically ex empted, would be subject to the tax. No Levy On Income No tax would be levied on In come derived from service except ing as it may be included in sales of tangible personal property. Ex emptions listed by Van Winkle follow: Fresh sweet milk, canned milk, cheese, eggs, raw unprocessed fruit and vegetables, meat, fish, unsweetened bread in loaf form, including rolls and buns, sold for consumption off the premises. Seed sold to persons producing new crops for sale and feed sold to persons producing for sale milk, eggs, wool, fur, meat of oth er substances obtained from live stock or poultry. Personal property Bold to the federal government, state of Ore gon, their departments j or institu tions, or to any county, munici pality, district, or other govern mental subdivision of this state. Personal property used for the performance of a contract on pub lic works executed prior to the effective date of this act. Personal property sold for use ror consumption as an ingredient' or component part in producing property for sale, or a material or chemical used in processing such new article of personal property. Isolated or occasional sales by one not In the business. Motor vehicle fuels upon which a tax already has been imposed by the state. Salaries Tax Free Sales of personal property of each person to the extent of 350. The tax does not impose any tax on income from service as such, therefore, air salaries, wages and fees of ail kinds would be. tax free. The opinion continued: "The exemption of certain pri mary foods has the practical ef fect of relieving the dairyman, fruitgrower, vegetable grower and poultry man from any tax what ever under this act. "The general farmer, selling grain, hay and livestock is classi fied as a wholesaler, except where he sells at retail direct to the fi nal consumer. He would be sub ject to the tax at the. wholesale rate of one-quarter of one percent on his gross income derived from sales of such personal property as is not exempt, or the amount of $2 on each $1000 of taxable gross Income." Van Winkle said the act neith er provides nor prohibits the mer chant from adding the tax as a separate and specific charge to the selling price of his goods. In case the sales tax is adopted persons 65 years of age and older would be eligible to participate in the pension benefits. The state tax commission esti mated that the average pension under the law would exceed $20 a month as against an average of $10.65 at the present time. Van Winkle said that in case the sales tax law is defeated at the special election there would be no state money to match federal funds for old age assistance. Starts Jail Term Harry L. Walp yesterday was under sentence to 30 days in jail-for alleged assault and bat tery on his wife, Martha E. Walp. She alleged that Walp was so vio lent after he broke through a door to get into their house, De cember 14, that she had to call police. Mrs. Walp this week filed suit for divorce.
