Newspaper Page Text' - -- "- n n f mm itft 'si THE REGISTER-GUARD. EUGENE, OREGON -o- I i Chevrolet's 1939 Models Presented To Nation Friday Sleek new aero-stream bodies suggesting fleetness and luxury combine with numerous mechan ical advancements, nt least two ot which are major in character, to assure keen public interest In the new 1039 Chevrolet, which makes its formal bow today In 10,000 dealers' showrooms from coast to coast. Eugene dealers are the Silva Chevrolet Co., 11th nnd Olive streets. The two new Chevrolet series, designated as the Master Deluxe and the Master 85. are offered as embodying not only distinctive style, but an even finer aggre gate of performance, safety and comfort characteristics than that which made their predecessors 6a!es leaders in 1038. Two new models a Master Deluxe four passenger coupe with many dis tinctive features, and a Master 85 business coupe available on both chassis are added for 1 930, the sport coupe and cabriolet being discontinued. Vacuum Gearshift The major mechanical improve ments for 1939 are the new vacuum gearshift with steering column control, optional on both series at nominal extra cost, and the new perfected knee-action riding system on the Master De Luxe. This improvement includes an entirely new knee-action mechanism, triple-tested, pre cision-built, and tailored as a unit to the cor, to ussure max imum riding comfort over all roads. The power plant In botli scries is the time-proven Chevrolet 88 horsepower high-compression six cylinder valve-in-head engine, in which refinements introduced in 1938 arc continued, and addition al refinements resulting In great er economy, durability, and ease of servicing, incorporated lor 1939. Improvements have been made In the Ignition and oiling systems, the carburetor, the in lake manifold thermostatic con trol, the harmonic balancer, which Is now floated In rubber, nnd the cooling system, which now lias a self-adjusting permanently - lub ricated hall-bearing water pump The diaphragm-type Tiptoe- matlc clutch introduced for 1938 is continued with improvements, chief of which is new provision for ventilation. Outwardly, the new Chevrolet Is longer and lower in appear ance. This is accomplished by the new design of fenders, wheels, running boards, and hood, as well as by n new window treatment. The lower corners of the lntter appear priictn-nlly square, thus effecting a continu ous straight-line appearance at the bottom of the side windows. f ' '-ft '' .- f.' fr'm s, I .

Expert Brands Tax Measure As Peril (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Reunion Of McCully Family Held Here A reunion of the McCully fam ily Is being held in Fiigene this week, the children o( Mis.

R McCully nnd Mis Vena Scott live in Fucriu'. Mrs. Mi ful ly is living nt Mrs. Scott's home. subject to prosecution by the dis trict attorney, and that upon the fourth offense, the annuity would be lost forever. Many Oregonians think the measure is a mild form of sales tax, the speaker said, continuing that compared witli the Oregon situation it this measure is passed the California "Thirty dollars every Thursday" plan would be a mere trifle. ! In California, scrip would be used and acceptance in many case would be voluntary whereas in Oregon the tax would be compul sory, he stated. The tax would be placed on stock dividends, professional serv ices, bond interest, property rent als, life insurance premiums, sale of real estate and all other tran sactions except four groups. Wages, government bond Interest and government agency tran sactions, church contributions and gills arc exempt but club dues would be taxed. "Since anyone who lends money would be forced to pay two per cent of his gross Interest income, banks and other lending agencies would be seriously hampered and the state likely would be flooded with bootleg lending agencies should the law pass," the speaker warned. Serious legal questions Vould come up under the law regarding certain transactions, Young be lieves. As an example, lie men tioned insurance payments from a branch office of a national com pany. Since inter-state transac tions are not taxable, the question would arise, were payments by the branch office inter-' or intra state transactions, he said. 'Under this law, rents would go up, interest rates would in crease, living costs would be high er, you couldn t float bond Issues in the state or sell stocks, Invest ment business would be impossible and the state couldn't hope to attract Industries which could lo cate in another stnte where this tax was not in existence," he said. Discussing the measure's effect upon agriculture. Young said: The farmer Is the fall guy In this thing. The farmer can not expect higher prices for his pro duce since these prices are set by outside interests, yet he would have to pay a two per cent tax on his gross not his net income. "The lumber industry would suffer from the measure becnuse the man who owns his mvn tim ber and saws it In his mill would pay a two per cent tax when the lumber was sawed, there would he the tax when the lumber was sold to a retail yard, another tax when the yard sold It to a con tractor and a final tax when the contractor sold to an owner. "If the sales tax was vicious, the transaction tax Is doubly vic ious from the standpoint of the farmer and lumberman," he de flated. The speaker revealed be had sent a telegram to Ray Gill, state giange master, asking him to state his position on this bill. In view of dill's past successful fight against any sales tax, Young de clared it bis belief till! should take a stand opposing the trans action tax. by Salnt-Saens, and "Novcllette" by Korsakoff.

The coroner's budget was placed at $1110, which was the amount allowed in 1933. The county court will get the same as in 1938 which is $8000. Under the head of "Courthouse" the amount budgeted Is less than for 1938, the figure being set at $6850 as against $8930 In 1930.
