Newspaper Page TextTHE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON TUESDAY. JULY 21, 1981 COUNCIL GIVES WATER REPORT TAX CASESSTILL FIND WAY INTO PAGE EIGHT After Net Title TO COMMITTEE 111 Satan water question, (trow. toff out ef the Baar Cunningham report estimating coats (or bring lug mountain water to Salem or dta trUmUDff It from the Willamette river through a city-owned plant. got no farther in the city council meetfag Monday night than being referred to the public utilities com mittee-. Nothing was said about an ad Journcd meeting for preliminary ac tion towards placing a water bond Issue before the people for a vote in the fait There was a rather distinct understanding that J. C. Baar, the engineer meet active In preparing the report would address the coun cil after other business had been transacted, but by tliat time the members apparently were too tired and adjourned regardless of a de mand by Alderman Vandevort that Baar be beard. That nothing was said about early election was probably due Indications that there was going be some pretty strong opposition. Alderman Pat ton had Intimated that he was going to make stralght-from-the-sheulder talk, but at it turned out it wasn't necessary for Pattoa or anyone else to make more than mud objections. In starting the argument Mayor Gregory simply remarked "that he had observed that the people of tha city were very anxious to get a chance to vote on the question. He urged that Baar be given the priv ilege of the floor to explain his report. To this Pat ton replied that the procedure wasn t proper, and that the correct way to handle the mat ter was to refer the report to the utilities committee and allow It report back to the council. "This Is a subject on which every member should be thoroughly In formed," Pattoa said. "I have no ob jection to Mr. Baar talking, but don't see any me in it." Patton made it clear that he was for municipal ownership. Gregory-replied that he wanted every member to be Informed, which was the reason he wanted Baar speak. "The question is so import ant that it Isn't amiss for every member to be accurately informed, Gregory said. Paeton moved that the report be referred to the committee and Dan- cy seconded the motion. Hughes was In favor of the motion but wanted to hear Baar. Alderman Townsend wanted know by what authority the Investi gation was made, and the mayor read raom the report citing a resolu tion of the city council. "What arrangements were made for the compensation of the engin eers?" Townsend asked. No one seemed to be able to an swer this question satisfactorily. Patton's motion to retcr to the re port to the committee carried. Dan- cy moved that the council proceed with other business and take ap the water question further . aftea. that. Bat it wasnt taken lip again. ALLEY VACATION ISSUE DEFERRED The quaitluu whether the ctty shall vacate a portion of an alley In Mock 1 of Compton s addition Nov ht North Salem near the river, as sumed much importance when an ordinance providing for It cam on for final action at the city council meeting Monday night. The street committee turned in a report rec ommending that it be Indefinitely postponed, but actkm was deferred vntll the next meeting. Contending in favor of the vaca tion were mainly two women prop erty owners and their attorney, Ronald C. Glover, while opposing It was a petition headed by Zero Pol lalre. Glover. Mrs. Effle Back, one of his clients, and Pollalre all spoke oo the ordinance. Glover said the strip of ground Involved never hsd been used as an alley, and that one reason lor ask ing the vacation was that the prop erty owners might grow trees whose roots would serve to keep the river from washing away the bank of the stream each yrnr nnd thereby damaging their premises. Pollalre declared that neither of the two women live in the district. One, he satd, lives In California and the other In East Salem. He said that lie makes daily use of the al ley In moving his farming Implements. St. Elmo's Flame Seen by Mariner On Ship's Bridge Ban Pedro. Cat.

(To Be Continued) SUPREME COURT Washington oj-) Although a treat many years have passed since the Income tax laws of tha nation were enacted the supreme court still finds tnem nsponsiMe for a large ahart of tha questions presented each year lor aeosjoow Seldom do the rulings It nra s response Drove of wide spread effect, as they have their In ception rather tn the Intricacies of modem business which, often as the result of an attempt to reduce tax payments, creates some eomslex situations xor tne court ot deal with. raring the session Just ended the moat important of the income tax decisions handed down by the trib unal cost the government close to suw.ow.om u income. This was In a aeries of cases involving the right of the taxing authorities to force married men to pay the entire tax on community incomes. Strangely enough this ruling. which held the husband and wife might file separata returns for one halt of their Joint Income, was made possible by the ancient legal prac tices brought to the southwest by the Spaniards early In the country's development. These laws, to which the modern state laws are the successors, held that each of the married pair shared equally In all Income derived by either or both after marriage. Such laws exist In Washington, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Idaho. Nevada and New Mexico. In order to obtain a final ruling to determine whether married per sons In these states might have an advantage which residents of other states do not enjoy brought test from each ot the first four states. The decision affects only persons paying taxes In the higher brackets, as they are thereby entitled to re ceive a much larger amount before tney encounter tne higher fixed for larfje Incomes. . It Is anticipated that some legis lative method for remedying the discrepancy developed by the court may be sought at the coming Cm gress session. In another tax decision the court ruled that income derived from en hancement in the value ot the state and municipal securities was liable to the federal Income tax. The lower court had ruled such a tax Impost tlon was unconstitutional since it appeared to burden the state's bor rowing power. In the case of the Indian Motor cycle company against the United States the court ruled that the mo tor vehicle sales tax could not be Imposed on sales to towns or cities of vehicles for police use.
