Tax Officials :v
Warn Against
Undervaluation
The state tax commiiiion
Thursday warned against under
valuing ot taxable personal prop
erty by taxpayers, and instructed
county assessors to take the statute-prescribed
legal steps against
taxpayers who make returns
which do not reflect the true cash
value of inventories.
One of the tax officials said ex
amples of undervaluing have been
detected in Marion and Other
counties. One case cited from an
other county showed a return re
porting $25,000 as value of a mer
chandising firm found subse
quently by the assessor to be
worth actually $75,000. The tax
official aid this discrepancy am
ounted to one mill's difference in
the district tax levy.
The annual return of taxable
personal property, required by a
section of the Oregon laws, is not
binding on the assessor who has
the obligation of fixing the assess
ed value on a basis which is equal
ized with that of all other prop
erty. Commissioner Wallace S.
Wharton said.
Another section authorizes the
assessor to examine the taxpay
er inventories, books. records
and documents relating to the
vtlue of any property he is re
qunt'd to assess.
Refuil of any taxpayer or man
mui oft.cer thereof to furnish
the jM'snr data requested is a
mi)f meanor. which, upon con
vk ('orij carries a penal t y of a fine
of not es than $25 and not more
than $1,000.

DAV Commander States Thrift
Drive to Affect Disabled Vets
By Lester Cour
Staff Writer. The Statesman
The federal economy ax may
be leveled on disabled veterans"
pensions and benefits in the near
future. John L. Golob. natiorrJ
commander of the Disabled Am
erican Veterans warned in a Sa
lem speech Thursday night.
Addressing the Salem DAV and
its auxiliary at the Women's club
house, Golob said that recent con
gressional action which sliced $8,
000.000 off the Veterans' adminis
tration budget served notice that
disabled veterans are certain to
suffer from further economy cuts.
A united frcnt of all veterans
organisations offers the only hope
that veterans may get some re
lief from congress during the next
few months, Golob said. More
than 200 resolutions backed by
the DAV are now being present
ed to congressional committees,
he stated.
Calls for Added Pensions
'Unless some adjustment is
made between prices and pur
chasing power, veterans must
have more money to exist," Go
lob asserted. He called for in
creased pensions for married dis
abled veterans who now receive
the same pensions as single vet
erans and pointed out that im
provements are sorely needed in
the VA j out - patient clinic ser
vice. Golob, who lives in Hibbing.
Minn., was introduced by Charles
E. Hoover, Portland, senior vice
commander of the department of
Oregon DAV. James W. Callaway,
commander of Salem chapter 6,
presided at the meeting.
Other distinguished guests were
Wayne Perdue, state- junior vice
commander; Dorr Quayle, state
treasurer; David R. King, state
adjutant; Clarence Griffiths, state
chief of staff, and commanders
from Albany, Eugene, Portland,
Oregon City and Corvallis.
Entertainment was provided by
the Salem Elk's club quartette.
Gene Malecki, Salem imperson
ator, and Andy Fisher, Sacred
Heart academy pianist. The aux
iliary served refreshments at the
conclusion of the program.

Vet Pay Boost
WASHINGTON, April 15-y!P)-The
senate today passed a bill to
raise the limit on earnings of vet
erans taking on-the-job training
Courses.
The measure now goes to the
house, where approval is assured,
and then to the White House.
It would increase to $210 the
amount a single veteran may re
ceive while taking on-the-job
training. He now receives a top
of $175. A veteran with one de
pendent could receive up to $270,
and with two or more dependents
up to $290. The present ceiling for
a veteran with dependents is $200.

Tax Test Suit
Filed in Salem
Suit to prevent the state tax
commission from including the
state's surplus from income tax
and corporate excise tax revenues
in the state general fund was filed
late Thursday afternoon in Marion
county circuit court. Plaintiff is
former governor Charles A.
Sprague of Salem and defendants
are the three members of the tax
commission.
Opponents of the proposed
transfer, held legal in a recent
q p i n i o n by Attorney General
George Neuner, contend the sur
plus funds are earmarked as an
offset against property taxes and
cannot be used for any other pur
pose. Attorneys for the state tax com
mission said they would file an
answer or demurrer to the com
plaint within 10 days. The case
probably will be referred to Judge
George R. Duncan.

Chairman Earl L. Fisher of the
