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.

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.

years and an effort is being made
to place the salaries somewhere
near what they were when they
were drastically cut several years
ago. There was a slight advance
for 1938, the schedule being: Two
at $125 each: four at sas eacn; i
at $93.50; 2 at $88 each; 4 at $82.50
each. Under the proposed 1939
budget the schedule would be: One
at $135; 1 at $125; 2 at $uu eacn;
3 at $100 each; 2 at $90 each; 4 at
$85 each.
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. The
principal reason for the reduction
is that it was necessary to buy a
new boiler for the heating plant
during the past year, $2000 being
put in the budget for this pur
pose. Salary Increase Asked
A salary advance for the deputy
was asked for. in the district at
torney's budget and this was held
over along with the clerk's budget.
The 1938 budget of the district at
torney was $3952 and for 1939 he
asks for $4150.
The district sealer was allowed
$600 as against $350 for 1938 and
in the emergency fund the amount
was left stationary at $10,000. Fire
patrol was increased from $3000 to
$4000.
E. A. McCornack. manager of
the Eugene Fruit Growers' asso

pearing before . the committee to
ask for an increase in the budget
