Tax Study Plan
Heads for Debate
On House Floor
By Eric W. Allen, Jr.
(United Presa Staff Correspondent)
Salem, Ore., Feb. 24 IP With
Gov. Earl Snell's tax study pro
. ' posal headed for likely controver
. sy on the house floor, the Oregon
senate today waded Into old age
pension and jobless benefit Is
sues. As the seventh week of the 43rd
session drew to a close, both hous-
Js put in full Saturday schedules,
.egislative salaries for the 50 con
titutional days end Monday and
members gloomily looked forward
to an expected two more weeks
of free work on bottled-up major
proposals and a miscellany of
trivia.
Approval by the house taxation
- and revenue committee of the tax
study measure (SJR2) indicated
the senate controversy may be re
peated in the lower house. The
senate originally provided for
nationally recognized tax experts
to survey the state's taxation
structure, then took out the ex
perts provision again and cut the
commission from 15 to 13 mem
bers. It will be composed of four
legislators, three members of the
tax commission, the budget direc
tor, ahd by members appointed at
large by the governor. ' .
Inquiry Proposed
Gov. Snell proposed the interim
inquiry in his opening message to
the legislature.
Three old age pension bills were
caned to the attention of the sen
ate ways and means committee
pfter a parliamentary turmoil on
hc senate floor. The house al
' ready has approved the bill by
itep. Joseph Harvey, (HB52) to
remove the $40 ceiling on monthly
benefits. A similar bill in the sen
ate (SB8, Mahoney) brought an
attempt to consolidate it on the
floor with the McKenna bill (SB
20) which .would impose a $50
ceiling and a $40 floor.
After a flurry of motions and
oratory, all three were lumped
together for the committee to un
scramble and propose a compro
mise bill. Predictions were that
the main points of the Mahoney
Harvey bills would emerge, leav
ing to public welfare case work
ers the job of determining actual
need. -
Part of a labor-employer com
promise jobless benefit program
was through the senate with the
fireworks still to come. There was
wide disagreement on whether all

Valley Authority
Measure Opposed
Salem, Ore.,' Feb. 24 UP Con
tending that establishment of a
Columbia river valley authority
would create a "huge monopolistic
government oorporatlon," the Ore
gon senate committee on irriga
tion and drainage on Friday Intro
duced a joint memorial opposing
congressional enactment of such
a project.
The memorial declared that
such an authority would be vest
ed with unlimited powers, further
bureaucratic monopolies, beyond
jurisdiction of the general ac
count office, clothed with govern
mental immunity for its acts,
have broad and loosely defined
powers, and use of government
funds to control the whole econ
omy of the northwest area, de
stroy present water and property
rights and deprive states and po
litical suodivisions of any control
of the use of waters of the states.
It was cited that Sen. Hugh
Mitchell of Washington had intro
duced a bill (SB-460) to create the
authoritv. and another bill in the
house (HR-1824) would make the
Columbia valley authority one of
seven districts in the nation.
". . . If either are enacted Into
law," the resolution continued,
"the states included in such dis
tricts, and particularly the state
of Oregon, its political subdivi
sions and all of its residents and
inhabitants, will be further regi-
mated and federally controlled
in that the said authority will
regulate and control the use of all
of the waters within the state of
Oregon '
The resolution contended exist
ing federal and state departments
were doing an adequate job in de
veloping reclamation, irrigation,
flood control, navigation and
power. ,

Only 8 Complaints Received
A survey of 80 stores and retail
establishments In Bend by a Jun
ior Chamber of commerce commit
tee has revealed that the heads of
these establishments have no ma
lor complaints to voice aitalnst the
local war price and ration board,
it was announced today as steps
were taken to secure nubile co
operation In filling panels. In their
survey of the 86 local establish
ments, the J ay pee committee
asked a very blunt Question:
'Have vou any 'erines' against the
OPA?"
Seventv-six tjersons. all heads
of establishments, had no com
plaints to make. Two complaints
Indicated the oolnion of those
store owners that members of the
OPA staff In Bend lacked com-
nlete Information on certain sub
jects. One complaint was voiced
against volunteer checkers. The
other five comolaints concerned
matters over which the local OPA
office has no jurisdiction.
The survey was primarily un
dertaken because of the belief that
local business firms were not sat
isfied with work of the Bend war
price and ration board, and It was
the plan of the senior and junior
chambers of commerce to iron
out any difficulties that mleht
exist. After results of the survey
were compuea, a committee, com
posed of Marlon Cady and Frank
Prince, Jr., of the Junior chamber
and Carl A. Johnson, head of the
senior chamber, conferred with
the local OPA staff, to go over the
few complaints that were voiced.
Full cooperation of local OPA of
ficials was received, the chamber
committees reported.
. Taking part In the city survey
were Cady, Wilfred Jossy, Chuck
Morrison, Don Hlggins, George
Thompson and Bruce Gilbert. The
survey was started the first of the
month and took nearly two weeks.
"The city of Bend owes a vote of
gratitude to the Junior chamber
for this activity," Johnson, of the
senior chamber, declared. He said
one of the objectives of the survey
was to make lt possible for Bend
to do its fullest share In the war
ertort, and at the same time bring
to the attention of the public the
fact that the local war nrlce and
ration board is primarily a volun
teer organization, functioning
inrougn panels.
In connectionwith the survev.
it was revealed that practically all
war price and ration board rumple
functioning in the local office are
undermanned, and that 27 volun
teers are needed to brine the Dan
els up to full efficiency and re
duce the work load to a minimum.
Assistants are needed on the fol
lowing panels:

the roads in a better condition,
they reported.
