Robert D. Holmes, is permitted to stand and subsequent bills calling for appropriations of some (60 million are passed. Members of the Salem Board of Realtors heard this prediction dur ing their weekly luncheon at the Senator hotel Friday noon by Mrs. Louise Humphrey. Mrs. Humphrey has been affiliated with the Ore gon Tax Research bureau for the past 16 years. Mrs. Humphrey said she did not like the idea of the state with holding all the tax due It. "It would be much better if people who have to pay income taxes re ceived the full impact of what they are contributing to the cost of government in one jolt," she commented. The speaker said she felt the state tax commission was seeking too much authority in the intro duction of some 60 bills. "You might as well lock up the court house," she -said, "since most of the county's responsibility in gov ernmental matter would be wiped out." Mrs. Humphrey urged the peo ple to speak out in the matter of legislation. Too often, she added, bad bills are passed because there is no vocal opposition to them.

OLSON Capital Journal Writer The effort on the part of many legislators to take the state out of the property tax field can be understood when one learns some detail. During the last 10 years, the total tax for all county pur poses throughout the state has in creased from $44,196,250 in the year 1946-47 to $160,093,535 in the present fiscal year. . Figures prepared by the Ore gon Tax research also show a tremendous increase in school dis trict taxes throughout Oregon. In i94t-47 school district taxes totaled $15,733,860 while for the 1958-57 year these taxes total $102,103,149. Bringing the figures down to Marion county, thev show that the total taxes for all county purposes WU Prepares To Give Play, The Victors' 'Everv man is rpKnnnsihtn fnr his own being and is absolutely iree in me wona. t nis atheistic extcntialism as evolved and pro fessed bv French nl Jean-Paul Sartre, is the theme of his play, "The Victors," which will be presented by the Willam ette University rirnmn ripnnrlmnnl March 1 and 2 in the Fine Arts auditorium.

Ten years ago the school district tax es in the county totaled $820,536 while in the present fiscal year such taxes increased to $4,895,038. This illustrates the increasing tax burden carred by property owners of the state and also ex plains why many legislators hope to avert the state adding to this burden. Many veteran legislators are surprised at Governor Robert D. Holmes' employment of an en gineering firm to gather data for a commission that Is not yet in existence. The Governor in his special message to the legislature Wednesday said he had engaged (he firm of Ivan Bloch and associ ates "to make a preliminary suf vcy'" for his proposed develop ment department and further said he had picked a director for the department. Amusement Shown Some amusement was shown by some of the Republican members of the senate when they saw a bill creating a fine arts commis sion and appropriating $25,000 for the biennium to carry out the purposes of the act. The amusement was not at the bill, but at the fact that Demo cratic Sen. Monroe Sweelland is the author. This comes in the face of the Democratic Governor's declaration that he intends to rid the state of a large number of commissions. A measure has been introduced in the legislature naming the new mental hospital, to be constructed near Wilsonville, the "F. H. Dam- masch Mental hospital." This would be a tribute to the late legislator, Dr. Dammasch, who for many years worked almost single handedly in bringing about authorization for this new hos pital. w Yesterday we watched three teen-age boys, wearing collegiate looking jackets, saunter casually through our furniture displays. . . . From a little distance one could sense their moods to be happy and relaxed as they passed by the F'rench, Victorian and English pieces of furniture. An occasional gesture of the hand and shoulder clearly indicated that they were eliminating these as something only mothers would buy to satisfy their whimsical na tures. . . For a few moments they were hidden from view by a large break-front cabinet and when we saw them again they were standing near our new, mod ern group. . . . Their faces were lighted with excitement and as a hand shot out and a check was turned one could almost hear the remark, "Man, what furniture!" . . We thought of the many times, when being shown through a homo, that the owner would hesitate before turning a knob and say, "Now you'll have to excuse this room. This is my son's." . . . Think what an in centive would be offered toward keeping a room neat and tidy by giving the boy furniture whose ! beauty he truly appreciates! . . . Let's decorate his room around j this modern, honey-colored furn iture which shows the wood grain in all its natural beauty, the simple, sleek design never drawing attention away from the ! beauty of the wood itself. . . . I We II begin bv painting the end ! wall with its large recessed win dow a cheery persimmon color, using a light beige on the re- t maiiung ones. . . . Against the long windowless wall let's place our bookcase headboard double .bed which shows reed insets on the sliding panels. We'll dress lit with a simple persimmon col- jorcd spread made of a heavy cotton fabric. At either side of the bed we'll place the end tables and over them hang modern pull up lamps with natural reed shades. Two large pictures with subjects painted persimmon, mat ted in natural grass cloth and framed in black would be good ' hung over the hed. . . . I.ei' mil. line this arrangement by using the versatile, new 14" Karpet Squares in beige around the bed. These come with their own pad ding on an adhesive back and can simply be taken up and re placed when they become soiled or damaged, yet they stick so firmly that they can be vac uumed without danger of rollins; the edges. ... At the large re cessed window on our persimmon wall we'll hang beige and per simmon figured draperies and in front of these place his desk with the beautifully designed match ing chair. A modern, black gooscneeked lamp would look well here. . . . Since every boy's room should have a comfortable chair for lounging and reading we'll use a low, wide one with a large ottoman and cover these in black tweed, placing them near the high chests against the beige end wall, . . . For a finishing touch let's give him I good read ing light near his chair in the form of a modern floor lamp with a natural reed shade.
