Tax Laws Eyed by
Wheat Growers at
Annual Meeting
Pendleton. Action looking to
economy and efficiency in state and
county government to provide nec
essary services without increase in
taxes, characterized the reports of
the various committees as adopted
by the Eastern Oregon Wheat league
in its thirteenth annual session here.
Applying this rule to many of its
own recommendations, the league
also urged the enactment of a self
financing plan for the present AAA
program so that farmers would not
receive payments direct from the
iederal treasury. The league urged
the adoption of the certificate plan,
which would essentially establish a
two-price system for major Ameri
can surplus crops.
One recommendation made by the
league wheh is attracting attention
throughout the state is a proposal
for combining the duties of tax
assessor and tax-collector in one ap
pointive officer. This proposal was
passed on a divided vote, with those
in favor arguing that such a change
would assure more impartial and
efficient application of the tax laws
than is now possible.
The league also urged the increase
in the allocation of gas tax and mo-1
tor vehicle license funds to the coun
ties from 15.7 to 20. It asked,
too, that the basis of allocation be
the state tax commission equalized
valuations instead of an arbitrary
level now used.
The work of the branch experi
ment station at Moro was praised
by the league and the federal gov
ernment was urged to restore its
cooperative support of $2600 annual
ly, which was withdrawn this vear.
The system of administering the fed
eral farm programs in Oregon in
close cooperation with the offices
of county agents was also endorsed.
Other recommendations adopted by
the league dealt with transportation,
rural electrification, land use, and
many phases of production, hand
ling, marketing, and weed control.
Officers for the coming vear are
S. J. Culley, Weston, president; R
B. Taylor, Adams, vice-president
and Charles W. Smith, Corvallis, sec
retary-treasurer. County executive
committeemen are John L. Camp
bell, Madras; Eric Johnson. The Dal
les; Millard Eakin, Grass Vallev
Lloyd Smith, Maryville; Louis Ber-
gevin, lone; William Kupers, Helix
J. D. Woodhill, La Grande, and J. L
Staggs, Enterprise.
Not Much Change
In 1941 Rates as
Approved by AAA
Rates for farm benefit: payments
under the AAA for 1941, which are
again arranged so -as to place more
emphasis on soil conservation, have
been approved by the secretary of
agriculture and announced for the
guidance of all local AAA officials
throughout the country.
Rates of importance to Oregon
are in some cases slightly lower
than were announced a year ago, al
though they are on approximately
the same level as actual payments
this year. The previously announced
rates were reduced slightly because
of heavier participation in the pro
gram than anticipated, says Will
Steen, state AAA committee chair
man. The national goal for soil deplet
ing crops is announced as the same
as this year, that is between 270,
000,000 and 285,000,000 acres. The
goal for wheat in 1941 is from 60,
000,000 to 65,000,000 acres, also the
same as this year. Actual plantings
for 1940 harvest totaled 64,388,000
acres, as compared with a 10-year
average from 1928 to 1937 of 69,310,
000 acres.
The acreage goal for potatoes is
also the same as this year at 3,100,
000 to 3,300,000 acres. Acreage plant
ed hi 1940 totaled 3,122,000 acres,
while the average harvested for the
10 years ending in 1937 was 1,705,
000 acres.
The wheat payment for wheat f al
lotment farms has been set at 8 cents
per bushel of the normal yield on
each allotment. A deduction of 50
cents per bushel of the normal yield
will be made for each acre planted
to wheat in excess of the wheat
acreage allotment on each partici
pating farm. No announcement has
yet been made regarding the rate of
wheat parity payments to be made
in 1941.
The rate of payment for potatoes
grown within the allotment is 2.3
cents a bushel, compared with 2.7
cents paid in 1940. Other rates of
interest to Oregon are commercial
vegetables, $1.30 per acre compared
with $1.35 this year; and soil build
ing allowance rates, which deter
mine the amount of conservation
payments to be earned; set at ap
proximately the same levels as this
year.
