State Health Board Okays
Grant to General Hospital
A federal grant of $270,000 for the Salem General hospital
building project was approved by the state board of health
Monday, and as a result It is expected ground-breaking for the
new hospital will start in July or August of this year.
The United States public health service still has to give its
approval, but there is no doubt
that will be granted under the
Hill-Burton act of 1945 which
was passed to provide local
communities means of bettering
hospital facilities. The $270,000
is calculated to be a third of the
cost of the first unit.
Plans for the first unit of the
hospital, estimated to cost $810,-
000, are now being drawn by
Carl Erikson, Chicago architect,
who conferred recently with the
hospital board in Salem. M. L.
Meyers, chairman of the board,
said the local architect who will
be retained has not yet been se
lected.
The first unit will comprise
the admitting and office core and
a maternity wing. Three other
wings will be added as money
becomes available, to cost when
all are completed around $3,000,
000, according to present esti
mates, and provide 250 hospital
beds.
In the federal grant, It is ex
plained, the ratio to local money
is not fixed, but varies among
the states according to per cap
ita wealth.
Making the first unit a mater
nity hospital will make more
hospital beds available as early
as possible, since it will release
about SO beds at the present hos
pital for general cases.
The $270,000 for Salem Gen
eral hospital was part of a total
hospital allocation of $2,086,890
made by the state board at its

Net Business Tax Again
Discussed at Tax Meeting
Portland, Nov. 22 VP) A proposal to replace the state personal
property tax with a levy on net business earnings was discussed
yesterday by the legislative interim tax committee.
Farmers, professional men and businesses would be included
under the earnings tax. Committeemen indicated it might raise
or lower the taxes of
sroups.
State Rep. Giles French spoke
on the plan before the commit
tee. French proposed it at a
meeting in Salem some weeks
ago. He said it would raise
about the same amount of money
but would simplify the tax struc
ture for the average person. He
complained the present person
al property tax required a "five
year study course" to under
stand because of the many ex
emptions.
French spoke of a 2 percent
levy on net earnings as a work
ing figure, but added "it would
n't need to be higher than 2 per
cent and might be lower."
His plan would return i
share of the revenue to the
counties to offset present col
lections from county personal
property levies.
C. C. Champman, editor of the
Oregon Voter and a speaker be
fore the committee, said farm
ers and professional people like
ly would pay more taxes under
such a plan. He said "lawyers
have little personal property ex
cept their law libraries. A net
income tax would bring a larger
tax income from such sources."
Committee members indicat
ed some farmers may pay less.
These would be those with large
machinery investments on which
they pay personal property tax.
Poultry raisers, however, might
pay more. They buy eggs in the
spring and sell the birds in the
fall and pay comparatively low
personal property taxes com
pared to other farmers.
Attending the session were
State Senators Howard Belton
and - Eugene Marsh, State Rep
resentative John I. Sell; Kelley
Loe, a labor representative; Mrs.
Louise Humphrey, Portland tax
consultant, and Judge Earl Day,
Medford.
