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 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."
Named to the nominating com
mittee are Stanley Hansen, Eu
gene, chairman; Rand Potfci, Mc
Minnville; James Collins, Salem;
Warren Lessig, Medford; Robert
Hansen, Sutherlin; Newell Elliott,
Portland; Lawrence Neault, Bak
er, and William Ireland, Molalla.
