OREGONIANS ARE THRIFTY
The people of this state must
have a weather eye cocked for the
proverbial rainy day.
Nobody can prove it’s a bad idea.
A healthy economic condition is
verified by the steady increase of
new -livings accounts and the in
crease of the average amount
carried.
This is one place . where the
people are ahead of their govern
ment that is not stashing away for
the day when jobs may not be so
plentiful nor wages so high. When
those days come there will be less
Income tax money to offset prop
erty taxes.
Economists of the Congress of
Industrial Organizations are saying
that despite defense production the
supply of consumer goods and serv
ices by the end of 1953 will reach
the unprecedented annual |>eak of
$1,875 worth for each person in
the nation.
OREGONIANS EARN MORE
An indication that income I tax
returns for 1952 will exceed 1 the
previous year is seen in the heavy
withholdings from employees for
the last half of the 1951-52 fiscal
year which showed a gain of 10.7
per cent when compared to the last
half of the 1950-51 fiscal year, the
state tax commission reported this
week.
•
Tax commissioners attributed
the increase to the many additional
personal income tax returns and
the commission’s collection deixsrt-
ment.
Personal income tax returns in-
creJked from $35,945,614 in 1950-
61 to $42,849,000 in 1951 52. More
withholding tax revenues are ex
pected during the current fiscal
year, as federal employees in Ore
gon will be subject to withholding
tax. These withholdings will start
after January 1, under an agree
ment now being correlated by Kay
Smith, in charg«* of th* state in
come tax division, and federal of-
f icials.

ties and contests to give Valley folk a
big-city show right in their back yard.
Seldom does the perennial com
munity celebration combine such a
variety of unusual and varied talent
and spectacles into one weekend of
fun designed to replace the lure of
the crowded highways over the dan
gerous holiday weekend.
In case you’re considering anoth
er form of Labor Day weekend a-
musement, we call your attention to
a statement issued by the Jubilee
committee recently. It follows:
“The many and varied types of
events will be held on the land on
the water and in the air. There is no
one place the entire show can be held.
The Jubilee committee suggests that
a car or some form of transportation
will be needed for the patrons plan
ning to cover the three days anil
nights of fun and frolic.
“'Fhe committee also recommends
patronizing and supporting our own
Valley. So when Jubilee time rolls
around, if it’s entertainment you are
looking for, don’t go elsewhere, stick
around, we ’ll have lots of it. Most of
the events are absolutely free and if
there isn’t something there to please
every member of the family, we”ll
let you throw eggs at us!”
oamphlet. This is $10,000 more
«.ban estimated receipts, and print
ing and postage cost more than
they did in 1950.
Secretary of State Earl T. New-
bry has asked the emergency board
for the extra expenses, to be taken
from the governor’s emergency
fund or that the cost of issuing the
pamphlet be carried into the next
calendar year when the legislature
could make an additional appro
priation.
ict passed by the last legislature
provides that Oregon will accept
the alimony decrees of other states
without the necessity of filing a
separate claim in Oregon.
