Nine Democrats joined with 23 Republicans to beat the bill by a vote 01 u io zt. Rep. Clarence Barton (Dh Co. quillc. chairman of the House Tax Committee, said the proposal would put millions of dollars of omitted property values on the lax rolls and result in lower in dividual taxes. Barton said county assessors, who favored the bill, do not have staffs large enough to check on all personal properly and have to depend on the taxpayers' honesty. "The honest man has nothing to fear by this legislation," he laid. But opponents said they feared the proposal would give the Tax Commission more power by open ing up tax return secrecy. Rep. Fred Meek (R), Portland, said it would wedge open asses sors' records for purposes other than determining how much prop erty a taxpayer had listed. Rep. Wayne Gicsy R, Monroe, toted that Ray Smith, State Tax Commission chairman, opposed the bill at a lax committee hear ing. Smith, he said, characterized it as "bad precedent." Rep. Richard Eymann (D). Mo hawk, discounted fears that the secrecy guarantee would be vio lated.

W Reno casino anrkers dealers, chorus girl? "d bartenders are playing so much volleyball after quitting ttnrt at m n Ifctt the Inral VMCA says it may enlarge the P'otram to three nights a wees 65 Plats WcrcFilcd During Past Year That the Salem fringe area is making a rapid growth is indi cated by the number of sub-divisions that have been recorded with County Recorder Herman Lanke. Lankc reports that 65 plats were recorded during 1956. The majority of the sub-divisions were 10 to 15 acres in size. All were in the Salem area. Eugene Swarlz, 73, Brooks, Tues day afternoon brought to seven the number of persons arrested on charges of petty larceny involving junk thefts m the last month. Dep uty Amos Shaw said the charge involved the theft of several piles of heavy hopwire from the farm of Melvin Forcier, Woodburn. Sentenced early Tuesday to 120 days in jail each were William Barto and Leonard Lee Simpson, both of 1069 Leslie St., when they pleaded guilty before District Judge E. O. Stadter Jr. to petty larceny charges. Their arrest came when state officer Wallace Cobine caught them taking a crow bar from his property near Idan ha. Drilling Items Takes Arrested on grand larceny charges about February 13 were Roosevelt Jenkins and Van Glos sen, both of Portland. The charges involve the theft of several lengths of pipe, a drill bit, automotive parts and other items from the Wil lamette Drilling Co. of Salem. Both were subsequently bound over to the Marion County Grand Jury. Judge Stadter .and Sheriff Denver Young have both painted out the situation' wherein "junkers" with trucks scour the countryside pick ing up metal at farms, at con struction sites and around ware houses and manufacturing plants under the guise of collecting "junk." Often they take valuable tools and equipment and sell it at scrap metal prices to junk dealers who, according to Judge Stadter, generally dispose of it in turn be fore complaints of theft can be made. The sheriff has asked that cit izens noting suspicious cars or trucks report license numbers to his office.
