PAGE TEN What About Pictures in: Bathing Suits? Willi Mahoney, defeated derrjo cratic candidate for U. S. senator, cot k lot of extra votes, tome peo ple isay, because his picture jin the Voters' pamphlet showed him to a'istraw hat and white trousers descending the White House steps after a conference with the pre$i- denij l;-:",:!" ' 1 And Portland democrats got a lot - of extra registered : cohorts, some 1 people say, because there was a mobile i registration booth lor them. Whether or not the allegationi -are true, they gave rise to a pair of controversial bills which the house elections committee was all set today to recommend for pass age." A "do pass" stamp; already was on them, i 1 The bills, reported out Tuesday , over the objections of Rep. war ren Erwin t(d) of Multnomah .county, would restrict voters' pamphlet pictures to face or bust shot, "and would bar registrarts from adopting the traditional tac tics of a dogcatcher. j The committee decided not to require that such pictures be not . older than five years, after Erwin said be hadn't had his j picture taken in 20 years, nor to prohibit photos of candidates in military uniform, tins hats or other attire. Present law bans pictures! of can didates in lodge regalia, f. On the recommendation of Dav id O'Hara, state elections chief, the committee proposed that use of the voters' pamphlets be denied to unopposed candidates. The pamphlet cost $249 a page last year, while fees range from $10 to $100 a page. i O'Hara said.' Rep. John Steelhammer said registrars in fixed offices would have better opportunity of check ing the residence requirement of new registrants. L Pay Raise to 5 Daily Sought for Election Chiefs The senate committee on elec tions and privileges Tuesday voted to amend Sen 'W. H. Straver's bill providing that compensation for election officers be increased from $3 to $4 a day to read $5 a day: A bill by Sen. Lew Wallace, providing that the compensation of these election officials be in- creased from $3 to $8 a day, was disapproved by the committee, Sen, Dean Walker voted against both bills on the ground that most election officials serve in the interest of good citizenship rather than for any monetary ad vantage." I Your Federal Income Tax , No. 13 . I' Methods of Accounting Your Federal income tax re turn may be prepared in accord ance with any method ' of ac counting 'which you use regular ly and which correctly reflects your ;income and expenditures. . There ar two main methods of keeping Recounts, as follows: (a) the cash- receipts and disburse ments method and r (b) the ac crual method. Ordinarily, nearly all , individuals use the cash method. The accrual method is " used mostly by business con cerns. ' ; j " In. the cash receipts and dis bursements method all items of taxable income actually or . con structively received (whether in ; cash or property or services), and only those amounts actually paid out for deductible expenses, are shown. The term "cash ba sis is frequently Used, but "cash receipts and disbursements0 ba sis more accurately describes this method of accounting. ,; Income is "constructively"1 re ceived when the amount is cred ited to your account, or set apart for you, and may be drawn upon by you at any time. ThusJ under the jcash receipts and disburse ments method, a bill rendered by taxpayer will not constitute in come until paid, nor will a bill rendered to the taxpayer be ex - pense j until paid. There will. . however, be constructive receipt of payment if a valid , check is received during the taxable year even though the check may not have . been deposited or cashed within that period. Under the accrual method, net income is measured in a broad sense by the excess of , income earned over expenses incurred. Such income arises when earned, ; even though not received, and i deductible expenses arise: when i incurred, whether "paid or not within the taxable period, h Thus, if you are. a storekeeper keeping calendar year books on the ac crual basis and you sold goods in - i y December, 1944, for which., you , were noi , paiu : unui , iauuar, ) 1943, the selling price and cost of ) those. goods should be included i in your 1944 return. This will result In the profit or loss on the sale being reported for the year in wfilch theaccrual occurred, If you keep books on the cash I basis,; the expenses should be re 's ported for the year in which they 1 were paid, 1944 or 1945, as the I case may be, and the selling I price will be included in your return for 1943, the year when CIO Program for Of Accident, Compensation Laws Ready for Committee Th. mit labor and industries committee today was expected to receive bills incorporating the Oregon CICs program for revision of industrial accident and compensation j Jaws and increasing their benefits.-. y":.:' . ' & 1 j -J---M . , ' " , The measures include one, simuar to aimeasure iniroaucea in me 1941 session by Rep. Manley-J. Wilson, (P), St Helens, to remove from the industrial accident com- j pensation law provision that com- pensable injuries must result from accidents caused by violent and external means. :Jf "Many of the most crippling in- Juries, particularly in we iutodw industry,! result irom suaaen strains and (not from violent or external means," Wilson said. He said that many loggers and saw mill workers have been totally disabled as a result of back in. juries. The bills also provide an in- crease in payment for injuries, to $35 a degree, the laws' method of measuring, extent of injury. Pres- ent payment is $..5. Present limit of 96 degrees on compensation for injuries result- ing in total permanent partial dis ability but not on a specified list of disabilities would be Increased to 192 degrees The limit for making applica tion for compensation for aggra vation of injuries would be in creased from the present one year from date of first final award to five years. ! : . I The CIO amendments to theun- employment compensation law i ine council oi state govem would increase the weekly bene ments, for the support of which fit amount from the present $15 to $25, up the benefit period from 16 to 26 weeks and set the amount! an unemployed worker , could be paid at one-third instead of one- sixth of his total earnings during the base year. Proposal for Successor Bill Studied A proposal which may or may not sidetrack suggested legislation for a lieutenant governor, by Dro- viding for definite succession to the governor, was being consider ed by the senate committee on elections today. The president of the senate now becomes chief executive of the state upon the death, resignation cr incapacitation of the governor, with the speaker of the house of representatives second in line. This succession is not complete, some legislators said, because the I term of the president of the sen ate expires with the general elec tion in November, leaving a gap in- the succession setup between the time of the November elec tion and the date the new presi dent of the senate is elected. It was believed possible the committee would include the sec retary of state and the state treas urer in the succession line.

Sponsors Six Bills ! . The name of McKenna appear ed as sponsor of six other of the 10 bills introduced Tuesday in the senate. Among these the most controversial probably will be that to increase, froth 14,500,000 to $7,500,000 the reserve fund which the state industrial accident com mission must have before, it can grant a tax reduction to em ployers. V - ' -: . The fund originally was labeled for a series of specific uses. To these uses, senate bill 41 would add "rehabilitation".:! i Two years ago the law required a reserve of only a half million dollars, and the addition was made then on the crest of rising wages. Another McKenna bill would provide for nomination and elec tion of county assessors on a non partisan basis.
