year old boy, in the legs.
Dr. Douglas expects to receive

of the case, where the infection
may have originated and how se
rious it is. i

ment at Doernbecher hospital.

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

cember 14, that she had to call
police. Mrs. Walp this week filed
suit for divorce.
