Veteran Loan
Fund Increase
Up to People
The senate voted 24 to 8 Sat
urday to let the voters decide
whether the state veterans farm
and home loan fund should be in
creased by $14,000,000.
The house-passed resolution
will appear on the general elec
tion ballot in November, 1950, as
a proposed amendment to the con
stitution. I
It would also give loan privi
leges to veterans who lived in
Oregon two years prior to Dec. 31,
1950. The privilege now is rectrict
ed to veterans who lived in the
state before the outbreak of World
War II.
The measure would raise the
additional funds by permttting the
department of veteran affairs to
issue bonds up to 4 per cent of the
state's total assessed valuation. The
present limit is 3 per cent. It
would boost the loan fund from
$42,000,000 to $56,000,000 to grant
loans to the non-resident veterans.

LARGEST DOLLAR PROFITS IN COMPANY'S HISTORY
According to the bookkeepers, Union Oil Company made a net profit
during 1948 of $31,293,000.
If this bookkeeping profit represented the company's actual "take,"
our 34,035 common stockholders would be throwing their hata in
the air.
BUT HERI'S THE JOKER
v
53 of theie profit dollars had to be plowed right back into high
cost equipment, facilities and oil properties.
Another 11 had to go into working capital.
So the actual "take" profits that were drawn out of the business in
the form of dividends to stockholder-owners came to $11,320,000.
This amounted to a return of only 5.4 on our total sales of
$209,000,000, or 5.6 on the capital invested in the company.

WHY DIO WE HAVI TO PLOW BACK 4
OP OUR PROFITST
1 Under the tax laws, a corporation can set
sums aside each year to replace equipment and
oil properties when they're worn out. (Thesa.
sums are represented in "Depreciation and De
pletion" segment of big chart.) But the sums
you're allowed to set aside are based on what
these things cost when, you acquired them not
on what it costs to repiace them today. Since those
depreciation funds aren't adequate to replace
equipment and oil properties at today's prices,
w have to make up the difference somewhere
or go out of business. That's where one part of
the "profit" dollars went replacement
2 Every housewife knows that h takes more
dollars to meet daily expenses today than it used
to. A corporation's daily expenses have increased
just like the average family's. That's where the
other part of our "profit" dollars went into in
creased working capital reuijrel for day-to-day
expenditures. T
