R E D W O O D EM PIR E NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS un/z R IR W B O B Capital Parade NO PROPERTY TAX 1951-52 William Collier says a state property tax levy probably w on't be needed during the coming bi ennium. No one is in a b etter posi tion to prognosticate. He is head of the research division of the sta te tax commission and advisor to the legislative interim com m it tee on taxation. The final report of the legisla tive interim tax com m ittee, epi- thetically “ The L ittle Hoover commission,” will be completed this week. In eight m ajor points it recom m ends: 1— T hat the tax base of any taxing district could he established or changed by a m ajority vote of the district. I2>— A bandonm ent of the proper ty tax field by legislative action ra th e r than by constitutional am endm ent. 3— Repeal of the state property tax. 4— A 3-eents a pack cig arette tax to finance the veterans bonus. 6— Repeal of 14 exem ptions in the excise corporation law and re peal of the personal property o ff set of the same law. 6— G eneral personal property assessm ent revisions. 7— A 2 per cent tax based on business net income in place of the personal property assessment. 8— That th e office of county as sessor be made non-elective and that the assessor he appointed by the county court from a list of qualified persons selected on m erit by the state tax commission. NEWBRY GOOD HOUSEKEEPER These are moving days at the eapitol as Secretary of S tate Earl T. Newhry prepares for the bi ennial visit of the legislature. interim com m ittees and other committees set up by the legisla tu re are being moved from the com m ittee rooms that will soon echo with legislative debate. For the first time since the completion of the building 13 years ago, most of the inside of the eapitol has R M P IB B A B B O C IA T IO R » By MURRAY WADE been furbished and repainted. The responsibility of finding space for all state departm ents is one of the hex w orries of the sec retary of state. He is moving his own tra ffic safety division to the hearing room in the state library building. The question of office space is a touchy one with Newhry. ( on- stantly perplexed by lack of ade quate space for other departm ent offices, he has deliberately passed up space for his own divisions in order to fill needs of others. Completion of the Public Ser vice building provided little relief in the Capitol group as most of the departm ents now in th at build ing came from downtown Salem locations set up a fte r the Capitol burned in 1936. Pending completion of the High way building some departm ents are operating under congestion handicaps. REFUNDS STILL WAIT Perhaps the state of Oregon owes you money in the form of in come tax refunds. T here’s more than $46,000 in unclaimed state income tax refunds in the w ith holding tax division that Tax Com missioner Kay Smith would like to deliver to claimants. Checks that were mailed to the rightful claim ants were returned marked "un claim ed" by the Post office de partm ent. Substantially all of the tax p ay ers to whom the cheeks were sent apparently had moved from the>r form er location without leaving a postoffice forw arding address. ,f the money represented in these checks is not claimed by the end of the c u rre n t biennium , it will revert to the general fund. — o— PUBLIC LANDS FOR VETS Speedier service is now avail able to veterans interested in ac quiring residential lots, campsites or business locations, according to associate director Roscoe E. Bell of the D epartm ent of the Interior. A pplications for small tra c ts Appeal Made For Examination For State Christian Koreans Prison Guard Positions A most urgent appeal for warm clothing of any kind is being made for the su fferin g C hristians of Korea. Any warm children's garm ents, sw eaters, coats, hose and such item s of w earing appar el will be acceptable. Pierce B rothers will carry any packages le ft a t Y andell's Ser vice station which are well wrap ped and addressed to Bob Ham mond, Voice of China, Pasadena, 16, C alifornia. Any such clothing may also be left at “ W illadora’’ and it will he 3ent on. Exam ination for prison guard jobs at the Oregon state p en iten tiary in Salem are to be given in December throughout Oregon, the state Civil Service commission a n nounced today.
