Only Gut U. S. Timber Taxed '
The Oregon State Tax Commission has ruled in an opinion
tent Lane County Assessor Winfred S. Smith that federal
timber contracted or sale to a private party is not subject
to 3 real property tax. It is exempt until it has been cut,
when it is subject to the personal property tax.
The commission criticized the assessor sharply for sending
out notices to more than 40 Lane county lumbermen that he
would levy a real property tax in the standing federal timber
held under contract from the
and U. S. Forest Service.
Notices had been sent to purchasers of $15 million worth
of limber bought from the Federal agencies in 1955, classin
the limber as omitted property and proposed assessment
under a stale statute which
property of the Uniled States
tract of sale shall be assessed.
The commission said that the federal sales contracts cover
the sale of "severed timber and not standing timber, that
timber purchased thereunder is not assessable as real prop
erty but shall be assessable as personal property upon .sev
erance . . ."
The timber sales contracts ''are agreements fur the trans
fer of personal property . . . taxation of such personal prop
erty shall not be made until the timber is severed by the
purchaser."
Since the contracts of two federal agencies are involved
this change in title comes at different stages after the timber
is cut.
Taxation of timber sold under contract from the state
forester "must await a more detailed study of the contracts"
the commission stated.
The statutes in which procedure is contained is OltS :HHU10 which
reads: "The Slate Tax Commission shall construe the lax and reve
nue laws of this slale whenever requested hy any interested person
or hy any oflicer acting under such laws and shall instruct such
officers as lo their duties under such laws. Such officers shall submit
all questions arising Willi them wheh allecl Hie construction of tax
Slid revenue laws of the stale lo the commission."
This statute was enacted lo insure stale tax laws would
be applied uniformly and insure taxpayers they would not
be unduly harassed by over-zealous assessing officials. G. P.

lire two hurdles in its way, aside from Ihe reluctance of the
people In assume a new spending obligation.
The 'first is moral. Can we properly deprive Ihe people of
their inherent right to promote their ideas through use of
their funds to support and oppose candidates and policies
they believe in or oppose? Wouldn't this remove the govern
ment farther from the people?
The second is practical. Suppose the government does pro
vide what congress thinks is "enough" money for a campaign,
llow can it prevent people using their funds for and against
candidates and parties? Attempts to control spending by
corrupt practices laws, federal and slale, have been uniformly
ineffective because there are so many ways to evade them.
Would this proposal be any different if enacted?
Rut with the spending abuse growing.it certainly merits a
new look.

Hugh MeKlhonny, ex-University of Washington football

Victor Schmidt on a hot spot when he revealed that he and
Ins wife enjoyed an income of $H00 a month while he was
playing for Washington, and that Schmidt knew about it.
There was no secret, McKlhenny pointed out, explaining
thai he paid income tax on Ihe money. "It was all on the
up and up. We worked lor it."
There eerlainly wasn't any secret. Almost everybody knew
tibout McKlhenny's prosperity. It was a nationwide chuckle

NATIONAL WHIRLIGIG
Only Ike's Desires Stando
Betveeif Him and 2ut?Term
Bv RAY
WASHlNfjTON As a result of
his amazing recovery i health,
only Dwight D. Eisenhower's per
sonal desires now stand between
him and a second term'as presf
.dent of the United States.. That
is the unanimous opinion ol fam
ily and political friends closest to
him.
Besides reporting on the mere
ly ph'5ical aspects of Ike's condi
tion, Dr. Paul Dudley While dis
posed of the more basic and seri
ous objection to almost five more
years of presidential activity.
Thcse concerned the menial ana
physical "stress and strain
which the responsibilities, ten-
sions and pressures impose upon
the man responsible for the na-
linn's immediate fortunes ana
future destiny in these troublous
days.
' Whenever Ike, as a layman, has
discussed this intangible problem,
he has asked himself and his
friends whether (1) he could en
dure Ihis battering without phys
ical impairment, and (2) whether
his phvsical condition would en
able him to make right and re
sponsible decisions on grave
world and domestic issues.
It was, in short, a clash be
tween desire and duty.
Heart Specialist's Verdict
Dr. White's answer was an nn
nualified "Yes." The heart spe
cialist's comment on this specific
and all-important question de
serves repetition, not only as jt
affects Ike, but also less ni.iin-
guished Americans. Discussing
the "fundamental causes of .arte
riosclerosis of the coronary ar
teries themselves," ho said:
"Some think that too much rich
food is responsible, some think
lack of exercise Is responsible,
some think thai stress and strain
; rc responsible
mil some oi us, aim i i'i--i-
sonally, do not think that stress
and strain are responsible, hut it
can be an aggravating factor, and
that must he weighed in making
any statement as I have made,
anil we have attempted to weigh
the stress and strain of the job,
which are, of course, consider
able." Here, Dr. White went to the
core of the dilemma.
