TAX PROBLEMS
At the next meeting of Governor
Earl Snell's 13-member tax study
commission scheduled for July 23
the tax structures of other states
will be available for premeditation.
Special attention will be given to
the poser of how funds may be
raised to meet postwar tax revenue
shrinkages. The vision of diminish,
ing liquor profits and dwindling in
come taxes are seven-siren alarms
to members of the commission.
The deliberations of the commis
sion will include the tax puzzles
of the political divisions of the
state as well as those- of the state
itself. Hearings will be held in dif
ferent sections of the state that
members of the commission may
get a close-up of the industries
and potential expansion, possibil
ities. At the last meeting a committee
was appointed to interview and
present the names of candidates
for executive director of the com
mission of around $5000 a year.
BUILDING PLANS
Oregon's ten million dollar build
ing program recently sanctioned by
the vote of the people is well along
in the planning stage but construc
tion will not .begin until materials
and labor are available. Approxi
mately $6,000,000 of the sanctioned
income tax surplus will be expend
ed under the direction of the board
of control. In addition to the voted
funds $1,500,000 will be expended
to construct a new office building
at the capital. This sum will be bor
rowed from the state land board
and will be repaid out of rentals
from state departments.
Several preliminary and pros
pective sketches have been sub
mitted to the board of control by
architects whose drawing boards
have been dusted off for the first
time since Pearl. Harbor. Under
pressure of dire necessity first con
sideration will be given to the con.
struction of ward buildings and re
modeling at the Oregon state hos
pital at Salem.
Allocations for the eastern Ore
gon state hospitaf at Pendleton to
tal $261,500 and for the eastern
Oregon tuberculosis hospital at The
Dalles, total $30,000. The state
board of higher education is charg
ed with the expenditure of about
$4,000,000 for new buildings at Cor.
vallis, Eugene, Monmouth, Ashland
and La Grande.
MORE FARMS AND BEEF
Figures of the federal farm cen
sus of Oregon just released show
that there are five percent more
farms in the state than when the
last, census was taken in 1940, and
that the. farms average five percent
larger acreage per farm, accord
ing to John Kallak, supervisor of
the farm census in Oregon.
Figures in the report reveal Ore
eon has an all-time record hay
crop this year and verify the often
heard remark that there are more
beef cattle in the state than ever
before.
A cold spring followed by a late
rainy season brought the heavy hay
crot) and furnished ample grass for
cattle that were in poor marketing
condition. One of the potent con
tributing factors to the present
meat shortage is that ranchers did
not market cattle that were not in
thp hest condition preferring, for
good financial reasons, to hold
them to fatten on the lush crop.
BELTON ACTING GOVERNOR
President of the senate Howard
C. Belton, now acting governor of
Oregon will remain in Salem most
of the time until about July 13,
when Governor Snell is exected to
return from the national governors'
conference he is attending at Mack
inac Island, Mich.
Belton is serving his second time
as acting governor. The first time
was in April when Governor Snell
went to Reno, Nev. for a confer
to San Francisco for the opening
ence of western governors and on
of the United Nations' conference.
