Federal Income
Tax Limit Goal
Of Legislators
By Eric W. Allen, Jr.
(United Pnh S'aff Correspondent)
Salem, Ore., Feb. ,27 UP) The
Oregon legislature today started
on its first payless day after the
defeat of a resolution favoring a
25 per cent limit on federal In
come tax and a public hearing
that developed strong support for
a Japanese deportation act.
The Income tax resolution,
which was killed yesterday 48 to
V1U Willi ail tuumiuic pU'TllVUIlC"
ment by the acceptance of a ma
' jority "do not pass" committee
report, asked congress for repeal
of the 16th (income tax) amend
ment and substitution of Jh'e
"22nd amendment" limiting in
come taxes to 25 per cent. .
Motive Explained
John Hall, chief proponent of
the resolution, said that it was a
movement in the direction of stop
ping the "wild spending" of the
present administration and that
experience had shown that a
lower tax with a broader base
brought more revenue than did
an unlimited tax.
Tax limitation would create the
possibility of putting more money
into "venture spending," Hall
said.
Rep. E. R. C. Frlsbie, Baker,
questioned the motives of the
backers of the movement saying
that it was proposed by Publish
er Frank R. Gannett and other
wealthy men and promoters.
"The result of this movement
would be economic chaos," Frisbie
said. He asked where the money
. would come from to pay the costs
r,T o-mmrjimpnt. frm lnt,nvQr nn
the national debt and the debt it
self, and social security payments.
Benefits Explained
The benefits of the measure
would be only in the upper in
come brackets, Frisbie said, a
statement echoed by Rep. Joseph
Harvey, Portland, who said that
it cams "straight from Wall
street."
"Someone must pay the debt,"
Harvey said. "Why saddle It onto
the little fellow."
Rep. Robert Bennett, Portland,
made an impassioned plea in fa
vor of the resolution, saying that
the aims of the resolution were:
1 protection of the sovereignty
of the states; 2 maintenance of
the American way of life, and
3 an expanding economy.
Rep. Giles French, summing up
much of the thought In the house,
said that objections to .paying
naxes- hi presem,Tas exempunea
'in the measure, 'was almost as
bad as striking in a war industry
or desertion in face of the enemy.
States Back Measure
Hall said 18 states had ap
proved the measure.
At the anti-Japanese hearing, a
strong majority appeared in favor
of the measure (HJR7) which
would provide for deportation of
alien Japanese and those who
have been proved disloyal or to
have dual citizenship.
Rep. Vernon Bull introduced
the measure, and was the first of
a dozen speakers In favor of It.
There was one opponent.
In 1942, approximately 83 of
all shoes made for civilians had
leather soles; this percentage
dropped to 73 in i943 and to
537.. in October, 1944.

THE
Plan to Cut Up
Oregon Districts
Stirs Hornet Nest
Salem, Ore., Feb. 27' ilTi The
controversial senate reapportion
ment bill (SB271) dropped into
the hopper Monday as the house
passed a bill which would set up
a uniform salary scale for county
school superintendents and a set
of standards and qualifications
for such officers.
By proposing to redistrict cer
tain eastern Oregon senatorial
districts, Senator Marshall Cor
nett and Rep. Henry Semon of
Klamath Falls touched off a hor
net's nest. Opponents Immediate
ly countered with the proposal
that the law requires a complete
re apportionment after each fed
eral census. Since this would give
Multnomah county almost half
the senate seats, Instead of five
as at present, the upper house
was sharply divided on the new
move, which may prove a banner
to adjournment in two weeks.
BUI Defeated
A similar bill was narrowly de
feated four years ago. Major pro
visions call for a separate district
for Klamath county, a new dis
trict for Deschutes, Jefferson,
Crook and Lake counties, and
elimination of the 19th district,
now held by Rex Ellis of Pendle
ton. Since Umatilla county al
ready comprises an entire district
(20), the bill proposed to give
Ellis' other two counties. Morrow
and Union, to adjoining districts.
Cornett contends his 17th dis
trict is too large, comprising one
quarter of Oregon with 75,000
people and 22,000 square miles in
the counties of Klamath, Lake,
Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson.
The senate sent to the governor
a bill raising compulsory educa
tion in Oregon from eight grades
of grammar school to the age of
16 years or graduation from high
school (HB322). Other school bills
given final passage permit school
districts to be paid for five days
of teachers' institute, (HB206);
permit boys 16 to 18 years of age
to drive school buses during the
next two years, (HB208), and per
mit school boards to buy liability
Insurance for student athletes,
(HB2G6).
The Monday session in the
house was quiet, with about half
of the day's calendar finished at
noon.
Lyle Thomas, chairman of the
education committee which intro
duced the school superintendents'
bill, said that the new standards
of salary and qualification would
eventually tend to Increase the
prestige, effectiveness and effi
ciency of the offices.
Main objection to the bill came
from representatives who said
their county budget committee
had not approved raises for their
superintendents, and felt that the
salaries called for under the bill
would be out of line with those of
other county officers.
The bill protects incumbents in
the office by permitting them to
run for re-election even if they do
not meet qualifications.
