Cook offers views on new state tax law A House - Senate conference committee will likely write the fi nal draft of Oregon s new tax law designed to raise an additional $o.000.000 in order to meet a $405,000,000 budget for operating the state the next two years. That was the prediction made in Bend Sunday night by Senator Vernon Cook of Gresham as he addressed the Deschutes County Democratic Central Committee. Senator Cook, member of the tax committee, said he saw little chance of approval by both houses of the proposed House bill or sug gested changes that will be an nounced by the Senate Monday. One thing is certain, he said: Taxes will go up. and in some brackets the increase may be as much as 20 to 25 per cent The bill finally agreed on Is also ex pected to place some persons on the tax rolls who heretofore have paid nothing. Senator Cook estimated that the legislature faced another ten days or two weeks work before ad journment. He said that In many ways the session had been disap pointing to the point of dullness. The senator covered many top ics, both in his remarks to the Democrats and in the question and answer period that followed. He touched on the importance of civil defense, the proposed new constitution, declared the state should have a voice in settlement claims for injured workmen, said that the state's limited medicare bill was not providing needed service to very many people. Sen. Cook suggested that a state pen sion might become necessary In tlie future for our senior citizens to supplement Social Security checks. Sen. Cook was critical of the Bend Chamber of Commerce for opposing a proposal tnat a com mittee make an exhaustive study of the tourist business in the state and what can be done to attract more people to visit the state. The two year study would cost $35,000 for seven members of the legisla ture and four lay persons.

Godwin UPI Staff Writer WASHINGTON (UPI) The Agriculture Department said to day retail food prices for the re- (mainder of the year are not ex pected to cnange mucn trom prices which prevailed in the first three months of 1963. Meat prices are expected to av erage lower but higher prices are indicated for citrus fruits, cereal products, sugar, and some vege tables, the department said in a review of the national food situa tion. Per capita consumption of food products in 1963 is expected to rise above that of last year, the de partment predicted. Output of food products is expected to rise by somewhat - more than the antici pated 1.4 per cent increase In to tal population. The department said a further increase in demand for food will reflect increasing population and an expanding economy with rising consumer incomes. The total out put of goods and services in the first quarter of 1963 was up 5 per cent from a year earlier. Personal consumption expenditures rose nearly 5V4 per cent A 5 per cent rise in consumer income and in creased use of credit supported the ruse in buying. Food expenditures are expected to rise during 1963, though possi bly less than the 4M per cent in crease from 1961 to 1962. First quarter food expenditures were up about 4 per cent from a year ear lier. The proportion of disposable income spent for food Is expected to decline somewhat but to aver age around 19 per cent for tlie year. The department said export de mand for U.S. food products like ly will total near the records of 1961 and 1962. Increases in ex ports of food fats and oils and dairy products are expected to offset declines in wheat and poul try. First quarter production of beef and pork exceeded that of a year earlier by about 4 per cent. Re tail prices dropped but remained above a year earlier. Increased production of fed beef if indicated through midyear, with declining prices likely. Severe freezes last winter were responsible for cutbacks in pro duction of citrus fruits and some vegetables during the first quarter. Higher prices for some fresh fruits and vegetables are continu ing into the second quarter. Prices will be declining seasonally as new crops are marketed but are expected to remain above those of last year throughout 1963. Food imports supplied about 13 per cent of total food used in 1961 and 1962. The department said farmers re ceived an average of 37 cents of the dollar consumers spent for domestic farm foods in retail food stores during the first quar ter of 1963. This compares with 38 cents in the preceding quarter and 39 cents in January-March, 1962. This was the second time since before World War II that the quarterly average farmer's share decreased to 37 cents. The first such decrease was in the final quarter of 1959. During 1960-62 it varied from 38 to 39 cents.
