Power Project
Praise Won
By Northwest
PORTLAND U ' A San Fran
cisco engineer Tuesday praised
Pacific Northwest states for
their joint study on possible
power projects In the Columbia
Basin.
James N. Landis, vice presi
dent of Bechtcl Corp., San Fran
cisco, and designer of a number
of large power plants,' lauded
the formation of the Governors'
Power - Policy- Committee- -and -its
creation of an engineering com
fnittee to study' government and
private power interests in pro
posed projects,
Oregon, Washington, Montana,
Idftho and Utah formed the
groups.
Landis told the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers
that the engineering committee's
work "should contribute im
measurably to an understanding
of the issues involved "and agree
ment of the conflicting interests
on what should be done to
schedule and implement the
work of building the needed new
power plants."
He said the study probably
would lead to integrated use of
hydro-electric and steam plants
"to provide the great Pacific
Northwest with firm power at
les- cost, to contribute to the
continued development and ex
pansion of the area's economy."
how to avoid trouble:
If there's one thing that's almost
impossible in the while field of
taxation, It's trying to convince the
Revenue Service that you got a
real gift from your employer. A
gift, to be non -taxable, must be
money (or property) received by
you with absolutely no strings at
tached and completely unconnect
ed with any services rendered by
you. -
The Revenue Service just does
not believe that an employer can
make a gift to an employe which
Is not in tome way connected with
services rendered. So if you got a
gift, bonus, or any kind of an extra
from your employer it is very
probably taxable.
Aay Strings Attached
Remember that a gift in the form
of property, as well as money, is
taxable if there are any strings
attached or if it is in any way
connected with services rendered
by you. For example, if you helped
a friend build a summer cottage
and he gave you a rowboat out of
gratitude, you should report the
market value of the rowboat and
pay tax on that amount.
About prizes. Income tax law
make nearly all prizes taxable.
As with gifts, prizes in the form of
merchandise or property are tax
able at their market value.
All prizes and awards are tax
ble unless they fill all of the fol
lowing conditions:
1. You were selected tn receive
the prize without any action on
your part to enter a contest or a
proceeding.
No Fature Services
2. You received the prize without
any requirement that you give
"substantial future services" as a
condition to getting the prize.
3. The prize or award is made
principally in recognition of religi
ous, charitable, scientific, educa
tional, artistic, literary or civic
achievements.
The Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes,
for example, are tax exempt. They
were taken by Congress as models
of the only kind of prizes on which
you need not pay a tax, They are
given in recognition of outstanding
work in your field.
Make Effort
Prizes given by employers for
suggestions are definitely taxable,
since you make an effort to get
the prize and render a service,
What if you leap into a stream
and rescue someone about to
drown, and the Carnegie Founda
tion gives you one of its lifesaving
awards? Very likely it is not tax
able, because your object was to
save a life, not to get a reward
at the time you acted. The Rev
enue Service (which has no record
of a ruling on the subject) would
probably accept the argument that
life-saving is a charitable act.
If you should get a reward for
catching a criminal, however, you
would probably have to pay a tax
i on It, because such rewards are
I publicized, and it would be pretty
I hard to convince the Revenue Scrv
j ice you were not after the award.
If you could convince the tax col
lector that you acted only out of
pure civic spirit, wit., no expecta
tion of any reward, the prize could
be non-taxable.
Treasure Taxable
Jf you find some money or prop
erty, is that taxable Income? There
have been rulings on this, and the
answer is: Yes, found money or
j property is "treasure trove" under
the tax law, and treasure trove is
'taxable income.
Virtually every radio-TV or other
! type of giveaway is definitely tax
ableto be reported a part of your
! income for the year. The big mon-
ey giveaways can increase the tax
' of a man with average income and
1 whole prize must be .counted as
! income in the year in which it is
jworu. t
' Let's take a man with an Income
of $5,000. married, with two chil
dren, who t;ikc the standard 10
per cent deduction for expewes
and files a Joint return wun mi
wife, who has no income:

will receive $250.000 biggest tele
vision prize proposed to date.

her reward.

High School
Issue Eyed
icts
Bv Distr
About 60 school board members.
representing all 16 county school
districts lacking high schools, met
Monday night in Marion County
courthouse to discuss high school
facilities for their students. On
July 1, 195S, all non-high school
districts will be abandoned as or
dered by the 1953 state legislature.
Mrs. Agnes Booth, county school
superintendent and George (Burt)
Bradley, chairman of the county
non-high school board, explained
that the law provides non-high
districts with three alternatives
(1) elect to join an existing unified
school district such as Salem
or a union high school district such
as Stayton: or 2 build their own
high school within their existing
district; or (J) attempt to gain pe:
mission to send their students to
an existing high school, and pro
vide for their tuition and trans
portation in their 1958 budget.
They were reminded that if the
latter step were chosen there is no
guarantee against the nearest high
school refusing to accept the stu
dents sometime in the future.
As for building their own school
Mrs. Booth commented that at
least 300 students are needed to
make the step economically prac
tical, and that there are now only
230 non-high students throughout
the county.
Modorn Etiquette
By ROBERTA LEE
Q. Is it necessary to tend a gift
when one receives an announce
ment of a girl's engagement?
A. Although this is sometimes
done, it is not at all necessary.
One can wait until receipt of the
wedding invitation before sending
a gift.
Q. Is a hostess supposed to wait
until all her guests have finished
eating before beginning to remove
the plates from the table?
A. Usually, yes. However, if one
of her guests is exceedingly slow,
M would be all right for her to
begin removing the plates of the
others.
Q. Is it correct for a married
woman tp send a wedding gift in
her name only, especially if the
bride-elect if a very special friend
,of hers?'" j , t1l.:i
A. No; she" should always include
her husband' nam when sending
wedding fifts. " .
