f The Statesman, golem. Owgon, Sunday. Wowmbw 21, 1943 Demand for Services Helps Rnnst Orfrnn Pronprtv Taxes 0 r j i The public's demand for additional governmental services, boost ed by population increases, are principally responsible for Oregon's material Increase in 1948-49 property taxes over those assessed last year, according to a state tax commission analysis released Saturday. These property taxes for the 1948-49 tax year aggregate $77,738, 823.90 as against $62,181,340.07 for the 1947-48 tax year or an increase of approximately $15,538,940. "If the voters desire more and more service" it is only natural that they wTl have to pay the bills," one high ranking state of ficial declared. Largest increase was in the school district tax which soared from $29,428,526.31 in 1947-47 to $43,455,557.99 in 1948-49. Officials explained this was due largely to special school district levies ap proved by the taxpayers to cope with the increasing school popu lation and the so-called rural dis trict system which is in operation for the first time this year. State Average Estimated The total cost of local govern ment, had it not have been for the $30,728,229.34 state income tax offset, would have totaled $108, 466,853.34 instead of $77,738,623. 90. The state average was esti mated at 55.5 mills with approxi mately 60 per cent of the total tax going to the schools. The $77,738,623 for the 1948-49 tax year is an increase of about 84 per cent over that for 1933. The drop in the county school and library tax from $746,588.32 to $294,567.29 was due mostly, of ficials said, to operation of the rural school district system, while the reduction in the non-high school district tax from $1,201, 871.89 to $365,286.32 probably re sulted largely from consolidation of high school districts. Instead of paying tuition these non-high school districts are paying direct taxes, officials averred. Fewer Bond Issues Falling off of the bond interest and redemption item from $226, 147.59 to $208,224.35 was reported due to fewer bond Issues during the past few years. Officials attributed the Increase in county general! from $13,847, 656.95 to $14,765,967.54 and cities and towns from $12,893,899.34 to $13,758,542.14 to demands for ad ditional services. A continued attitude toward more services, many of which are necessary because of increased population and industrial expan sion, will tend to boost taxes in the future rather than reduce them, officials declared. Savings Bonds Sales in State Encouraging Sidney L. Stevens, Marion county chairman of the savings bonds division of the Treasury de partment, said Saturday that sales and redemption figures in Oregon for the month of October are most encouraging. Volume of (Oregon sales in that month was $3,951,100. which ex ceeded sales for October, 1947, by $278,459. At the same time, re demptions in October fell sub stantially as compared with re demptions a year ago. The total amount of savings bonds which were matured or ; cashed-in by Oregon people last month was $3,385,478, a sum $1,439,522 less than the corresponding figure a year ago.

New Chemical Keers Fat F rom Getting Rancid Young GOP Plans State Meet in Salem Arrangements for the state Young Republican convention, slated in Salem for December 3-5, were nearly complete today, ex cept for a keynote speaker. Illness and prior commitments have pre vented several invited dignitaries from coming .officers said. By Howard W. BUkeslee Associated Press Science Reporter NEW YORK, Nov. 20 -fV A new synthetic rhenrical which triples the time baked anri fried foods will remain fresh was de scribed to the Amerifan Oil Chemists societr this week. The chemical is made from either coal or petroleum. Is water clear. tastHess, and prevents ani mal fats from getting rancid. Its techniral name Is BHA. It is made by the Tennessee Eastman com pany of Kinesnort. Tenn.. and was explained bv six rientis;f nf 'the American heat institute foun dation University of Chicago. Dr. H. R. Kravbill. head of the I Chicago team, said the new chem ; ical Is unique in one war. When t nlaced in lard or any animal fat. I it not only keeps the fat fresh ; longer, but It carries over Into the cooked food. He said potato chips, crackers and pastry stay fresh three to four times longer because of this carry-over ability. Ha said no other preservative of animal fats has this carry-over. They only keep the fat fresh longer before cooking. Lard that will remain fresh three to six months without a preservative stays fresh two to three years with the new stuff, which is added at the rate of one pint for about one ton of fat. However, plans call for the aoo delegates to divide into small groups at Saturday's luncheon to get acquainted and confer with Oregon's congressmen and other high officials. At the banquet that night, U. S. Sen. Wayne' Morse will speak on "The Elephant's Future."
