SUBSCRIPTION RATES - Payable in Advance ONE YEAR .......................... $L6° M A R C H 17, 1939 ORATORY The Oregon senate is oratorical about almost anything but when the subject of discussion is PUD- the word users really go to towr There are seven votes in the sen ate against the present public utility bill but the speech making on the bill has been as long as if the contest was really close. I t .» an accepted truth that this session of the legislature has in dicated that a good voice and a liking for oratory, gestures and speaking before fellow members or other forms of swaying votes by local persuasion is of little avaiL The se-nate listens politely to its small group of protestants, the house sometimes encourages its orators and when the shows are over both houses vote against the speech maker. This does not mean that the art of public speaking is entirely disregarded in the assembly, only that arm waiving, red faced speeches do not have the desired effect. Men of quiet demeanor in whom the members have confi dence can explain a bill in three or four minutes and get the votes. Perhaps that is the modem style of speaking, a style of reason in stead- -ef emotion. TAXES £ —~ FRIDAY/MARCH 17, 1939 OREGON HAS MANY OLD PEOPLE The real reason why Oregon is one of the strongholds of the Town send old age pension movements may be found in an Oregon State I fanning board report, “Oregon i-coks Ahead.'* * This s(utc ha« more people over 54 years of age in proporton to its population than any other state ex cept Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. At the same time, it has fewer young people, proportionate ly, than any other state except Ca-.iforni^ and Nevada. No inferences regarding the townsend or any other movement are drawn in the report, but it would be natural-ior any project of interest to older people to arouse attention here, those who have read the volume point out. Oregon also has thef ■ lowest birth rate ~of all states. In 1936 the natural increase per 1,000 drop ped to 1.5 per cent while the birth- iate was 14.1 p?rsons per 1,000, compared to that of New Mexico of 27.1 per 1.000. The low birth rate need occasion no special worry io Oregonians, the report points out... Health condi tions are unusually good in this state, which means that a larger proportion of children will survive and also will live longer lives. Mi gration into the state will also take care o f any needed increase in pop ulation. » * -i ' In Other Days | From the Observer Mar. 16, 1900 The roads in Sherman, a dis grace to civijation a week ago, are today, the finest in the world. The chinook winds made them so. The Presbyterian Sunday school will be organized on the 25th for effective work April 1. Rev. Elder is well pleased with his new field and the people are well pleased with him. School will probably open about April 2, in the Kent district Edson W. Downing closed his 1th term of school at the Blue School, March 2. He will teach the spring term at Rose • Bush, which began March 12. Fiom the Observer Mar. 18, 1910 J. A. Wilson and George Mow ry Have formed a partnership in the law business at Moro. Mr. and Mrs. Blue will cele brate their Chin« wedding anni versary March 28. • Charles Taylor, son of attorney Joseph A. Wilson of this city, Sundayed at home. He is now with a surveying corps in the con struction department of the Des Chutes railroad.' • Judd Fish the former popular host of The Umatilla House, was a Sherman county visitor last week in search of a wheat farm. He has a farm in Klickitalt but can esaily handle two. Fiom the Observer Mar. 19, 192(t The home of Mr. and Mrs. E. ft. Barzee was gladentd on Mon day March 15, by the arrival of Murgeret Louise, a serven pound daughter came to make her fu ture home with them. The benefit dance Wednesday averting given by members of the American Legion for the benefit >f Chris Schultz post was a social success. Ninety numbers wert sold and the supper served by the boys was an unqualified success. A special session of the county court was held ait Mdro on Mon- lay for the purpose of cooperat ing with the Farm Bureau battle against weeds to be made in the county this season. The court ap pointed G. B. Bourhill to be in charge of the work and named as deputies the district committees yf the Farm Bureau appointed at the recent convention in this city. Gtass Valley Journal: Mr. and Mrs. Wallace of the Hotel Vintin expect to take a three weeks visit down in the Cottage Grove vicinity, leaving here next Friday. During tlheir absence the hotel will be in charge yf Edward Hannifin. Ray Blake left Tuesday morn ing to accept a position in the Farmers State Bank at MororMr; Blake has been bookkeeper at the C. W. King store for some time. Born: At Grass Valley March 17th, to Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Barnett, a son, and his name is Patrick. Changes in the income, excise and intangible tax laws are now being made by the legislative as sembly or perhaps been defeated by this time. Some oonsolidatior of the intangibles tax with the in come tax Has been demanded be cause it is a bit awkward to have both. The house put the two together with a schedule that »eemed fair to the holder of small blocks of in tang iles and the senate made further amendments that made the bill entirely different in opera tion. It must be remembered that taxes of this sort are direct prop erty -tax offset taxes, in that every cent so received is used to remove state property taxes from the rolls. If more money is rais ed under these taxes the property owner will notice it in his proper ty tax statement. The senate amendments reduce the exemptions from >1500 for married men to >1300 and for sin gle men from >800 to >700. While this reduction seems all im portant to those who would come under the tax, if passed, the maximum that it could mean would be >4 in taxes. More important is the fact that the man with an income of >6000 would pay an additional >14 if the exemptions were reduced and none of those who feel emotional ly for the low bracket payer feels sadly over that fact. The rate for the first >500 is at 2%, for the second >500—after ex emptions of course—is 3 # , after that the rate goes up a percent for each thousand. A man with a gross income of >6500 entirely from salary, wages or a business would pay >269 under the senate bill as opposed to >200 under the present law. If a part of his in tome was derived from intang ibles he would pay an additiona1 W on that part of his income. The house bill had 3<% surtax on the intangibles and this is one of the items that K will undergo considerable debate in the confer ence committee that has been ap pointed by the president of thf senate and the speaker of the house. lAlso the top rate on in tangible* is 8f/< instead of 77r for other incomes. A great anibunt of work has gone into the income and excise tax bills and studies of different rates have been made and rtvarts prepared by the tax commission. Studiea of taxation methods of other states have also been refer.- red to by committeemen in houae s and senate and it is hoped that a N readjustment in these taxes wiff 1 be made that ia better than the one in effect at the present time. •S afety s o n n e t j M U M PA H K IN l O N UMNCHaS MIAMI e tt w v y OF NICKI N«-, (Continued from page one/ genti al fund revenues for itine current biennium ^ Thè balance is made up of $2,160,000 in unex pended balances carried over from the relief appropriation for the 1-aMt biennium and $6,1500,000 in anticipated revenue» from the state's liquor monopoly.

A bill providing that the board1 of control might con tract with insurance companies for excess coverage was defeated in the senate after passing the house. The.- newly constituted ‘'public welfare - commission, heretofore known as the State Relief Com mittee, held its first meeting in Salem las/t week and organized by electing J. H.

In addition to taking over all the functions of the old relief committee the new welfare commission will also perform all the functions heretofore vested in the chikl welfare commission. ♦ • * Appointment of L.
