TOR MANY YEARS aspirin his been
accepted by both the medical profession
and che public as a safe sure way to
relieve pain.
But many people who hid complete
confidence in aspirin did not find it gave
as quick relief from blinding, maddening

remedies less well proved.
To meet this situation t group of
medical research men set out to see what
could be done to speed up the analgesic
or "pain-killing" action of aspirin to
make it bring their patients quicker re
lief, without heart or stomach upset.
Out of these researches came a really
new kind of analgesic tablet, a combine

Marion County
$785,839 from Income Tax
Marion county public schools will receive $785,839 from Oregon
state income taxes during the coming 1945-48 school year.
All public schools in Oregon will receive roughly $13,000,000
of income tax revenue, or 512
903,872 based on 1944-45 fi
gures. This amount of income
tax proceeds goes to public
schools throughout Oregon part
ly as result of . laws enacted
by the 1945 state legislature.
Marion county's share of the
$12,903,872, or $785,839, will
consist of the following
amounts:
State elementary school tax
(2-mills tax on property that is
cancelled by state income tax
revenues), $117,947.
State school support fund
$5,000,000 of income tax money
diverted by the 1942 measure,
$289,969.
This county's share of $2,
000,000 of income tax money
that was added to the $5,000,
000 school support fund by the
1945 legislature will be $116,
509. This amount is distribut
ed on a "teacher unit" basis
among the various school dis
tricts in our county.
Marion county's share of
$1,000,000 of income tax money
that was added to the $5,000,
000 school support fund by the
1945 legislature, will be about
$57,994. This amount is dis
tributed on basis of "actual
days, attendance" ratio among
the various school districts.
In addition to the above

fiscal years, about $203,555
from the income tax revenues.
This amount will wipe out any
levy on property for the coun
ty school tax of approximately
$10 per school census child.
Almost one-half of the cost
of public schools in Oregon is
now being paid by revenue
