cord of fine service to the depart
ment and to the state," Gov.
Holmes said.
"We are genuinely appreciative

Officials Brief
House Unit on
Tax Structure
The House Taxation Committee
began Wednesday a series of in
formal discussions with state Tax
Commission officials.
The purpose Is to acquaint its
members, five of whom are fresh
men, with the state's tax structure.
For more than an hour, the
committee heard Samuel B. Stew
art, Tax Commission chairman,
explain the origin of Oregon's tax
system and the supervisory pow
ers of the commission.
He traced the operation of the
property and income tax laws,
and told how the commission is
working with county assessors in
the property reappraisal program.
Stewart told the committee that
property tax collections in the
state amount to 285 million dol
lars during the biennium. This
makes it the largest single source
of revenue.
He pointed out that the income
tax was designed to be a property
tax relief measure, and that it
didn't raise much revenue until
World War II.
Under the reappraisal program.

until 1951, order has come out of
tax confusion in many counties,

State Rep. William Grenfell Jr.
of Portland said today that he has
prepared a bill for introduction in
the Legislature calling for a with
holding tax program for Oregon,

Menningerto
Speak Friday
To Legislature
Dr. W. C. Menninger, Topcka,
Kan., a leading authority in the
field of psychiatry, will address
the Oregon Legislature in the
House Chamber Friday morning.
Dr. Menninger will speak on
"Brains, not bricks," emphasizing
that hospital buildings alone are
not the best answer to the state's,
mental health treatment prob
lems. While here, Dr. Menninger will
confer with Gov. Robert D.
Holmes and heads of some state
institutions.
Dr. Menninger Is the adminis
trative head of the Menninger
Foundation which he, his brother
and father founded. At the end
of World War II, the clinic, work
ing in conjunction with the Winter
General Veterans Administration (
hospital, established what is now
the largest single training center
for psychiatrists in the United
States.
much uniformity has been
achieved.
One important reason, he con
tinued, is that county assessors
now are required to post assess
ment ratios so that any taxpayer
can know on what basis his prop- i
erty has been assessed. i

Arizona's AG
Fights Crosby
Cuilt Removal
PHOENIX, Ariz. W The
Arizona attorney general Wednes
day asked the state Supreme
Court to overturn a lower court
order that had removed from the
record a larceny conviction
against Clyde C. Crosby, now a
Portland labor leader. j
"It would open the door to all!
kinds of fraud. Anyone after 20, I
30 or 40 years, when the trial
judge is deceased, the witnesses i
gone and the records in bad
shape, can come back and have
the complete record of a convic
tion and a prison sentence
erased," Atty. Gen. Robert Mor
rison said.
Superior Court Judge W. E.
Patterson of Prescott last August
granted Crosby's request to re
move the prison record from the i
bonks.
Crosby said at Prescott that in
1M0 he was sentenced to the state ,
prison after breaking into a house
near Seligman to lake food.
Crosby said he was under 18
years of age at the time and
ahould not have been tried in
adult court.
Morrison said his office and the
alate Board of Pardons and Pa
roles were not notified, and there
fore he doubled the legality o(
Judge Patterson's action. Further
more, Morrison said in his peti
tion, Crosby was W years and
months old at the time.
Crosby made the request alter
being indicted in Oregon on a
charge that he was carrying a
gun, which is illegal lor an ex
convict in that state.
its full responsibility under the
law."
"It Is my hope that within a very j
short time this office will have
gained the full trust and respect
of the public," the new commis-1
sioner declared.
He said the general public has
the impression that recent com-'
missioners "have been content to
serve merely as umpires in dis
putes between the utilities and the
public."
Morgan declared that the public,
and the legislators who wrote the
law, do not think that is enough.
The office is authorized by law to
act on its own initiative, investi
gate, and dig for facts, he declared.
The new commissioner denied
any intention to persecute certain
utilities "to engage in circuses
and tide shows for political pur
poses." Morgan cited his background In
the field including college studies
and civil service work in Wash
ington, D. C, prior to World War
II. j
