Withholds
Tax Collections
Jump 10.7
Employees deductions of with
holding taxes for the 1951-52
fiscal year aggregated $15,919,832,
an increase of 10.7 per cent when
compared with the previous year,
the State Tax Commission reported
here Wednesday.
Tax commissioners said the in
crease was due largely to the many
additional personal income tax re
turns. These taxes increased from
$35,945,614 in 1950-51 to $42,
824,849 in 1951-52. The commission
said it received 169,633 returns in
the 1951-52 fiscal year as com
pared to 115,964 returns in the
1950-51 fiscal year.
Increase in the number of re
turns was attributed to the in
creasing number of concerns oper
ating in the state and the activities
of the commission's collection de
partment. A total of $2,306,246 was
refunded in the last fiscal year.
More withholding tax revenues
were expected during the current
fiscal year when federal employes
in Orgon will be subject to the
withholding tax. Withholding fed
eral employes tax probably will
start soon after January 1; under
an agreement now being worked
out between Ray Smith, in charge
of the State Income Tax Division,
ana ieaerai oxiicials.

Petitions Ask County Employes
To Change Retirement System
Possibility of a retirement system change for Marlon County em
ployes was disclosed Wednesday as preliminary petitions were beinf
circulated. : -
The change desired is from state retirement to Federal Social
Security, which calls for smaller deductions from paychecks and pay
survivors as well as retirement benefits.
Whether narrfes of 75 per cent
of the county's 225 employes can
be secured on the petitions is the
big question now, it was indicated,
since the payroll has a high pro
portion of persons over 60 years
and thus ineligible to sign, al
though counted in the total for
percentage figuring. In addition,
there are a considerable number
who have state retirement credit
for a considerable part of the 30
years needed for retirement and
who do not desire to switch plans,
since Social Security pays benefits
only after age 65.
Seventeen county employes al
ready past 65 years have been
granted permission by the state
retirement program to remain on
the payroll.
The petitions were launched by
members of the road crew and so
far have listed fewer than 50 per
cent of the county staff. When
completed they would go before
the County Court for reference to
the state. - .
