Up to this point there has been a great deal of activity, but very few bills of major importance have gone through both houses. Now the big measures are stir ring in committees. For the re mainder of the session attention From The County Agent's Office By N. C Andersen Spring fertilizer treatments are being applied to the wneat ex periment plots this week. Appll cations of 20-40-60-80 and 100 pounds of axilnitrogen are being applied. Identical applications plus 40 pounds nitrogen with 50 pounds phosporous 40 pounds nit. will be focused on education, I rogen with 50 pounds sulphur, 40 taxes and the budget. Early this past week House Speaker Pat Dooley brought out his proposed tax program. He states that he was shooting at a figure of about $265,000,000. The Dooley plan raises exemp tions from $500 to $600, which ex cused about 12,000 people who are now paving taxes. This ob viously means that a smaller per centage of the people will be paying a greater proportion of the taxes. Some people may recall that at the last lession of the legls lature a tax plan was passed by the House which shifted the bur don of taxes downward, as Mr. Dooley is now proposing. On the day the bill was passed Dooley made a lengthy oration in op position to this "most regressive" tax program. In the coming days you will read and hear much discussion of percentage comparisons between the new tax program and those of the past two bienniums. Such comparisons tend to be unrealis tic, because opinions are molded by the income bracket of the in dividual making the comparison. People In each bracket, being human, feel that they are carry ing an unfair share of the load. This tax program, with the $32, 000,000 surplus left by the last legislature, will take care of the needs of this coming biennium if the budget is held at $265,000,000. Many legislators, however, feel that the real jolt is coming in the '59 '60 biennium if the present rate of spending is continued, especially with the $32,000,000 surplus having been spent. On Friday of the past week Allen moved to bring HB No. 1 to the floor of the House for final passage. This bill, introduced at the request of the Governor, includes the repeal of the surtax and the income tax structure. The motion was defeated by vote of 35 to 21. Following this action, Representative Wayne Giesy moved to call HB No. 361 to the floor, this being the surtax repealer introduced by all the Re publicans In the legislature. Ills motion also was defeated. This action was taken to pro test the fact that the tax pro gram and the repeal of the sur tax are Included in the same bill Because of this, it will be 1m possible for anyone to vote against the Increase in taxes without voting against the repeal of the surtax. Some feel this Is political blackmail. During the past two weeks we have had a good many worried letters from farmers In our area protesting four Senate Bills and urging the passage of one. SB 68 I mentioned in one earlier col umn. We call It the "antl-do-lt yourself" bill, since It would re qulre that a licensed contractor be hired for any carpentry job costing over one hundred dollars pounds nitrogen with 50 pounds phosporous and 50 pounds sul phur and 40 pounds nitrogen with 50 pounds phosporous, 50 pounds sulphur and minor elements of borax, copper sulphate, magen STAR THEATER HEPPNER Thurs.

Plus Ralph Martcric and SB 12 would require a building permit from the county for any new building, or remodeling an old one, on a farm. SB 131 re quiries a license from the State Department of Labor for anyone operating a steam or refrigera tion plant. This would affect mint growers in the operation of their distilleries, and could even reach the steam cleaners used by farmers to clean tractors and other machinery. SB 94 is the minimum wage law, calling for a $1 per hour minimum, including all types of agricultural labor. Last, Monday a delegation of wheat growers from our general area appeared before the House taxation committee In support of SB 92, which would take the state out of the property tax field. Speaking on the bill, Wheat Lea gue President Raphael Raymond said, "Farm lands in Oregon are being taxed twice as high as the same lands in Washington and one third higher than farm lands n California." During the hearing the witnes. ses were badgered by three Democratic members of the tax ation committee with questions as to why this measure has not been passed before, if It Is so necessary. In other words, "if we didn't need it before we don't need it now". If you can make sense out of this argument you are wiser than I. Farmers may also be dismayed to learn that their Industrial Ac cident Rates will be up about 50 if House Bills 260, 450 and 502, now in the Labor and In dustries committee, are passed. Representative George Annala, Hood River, has revised his for mula for reapportionment of the House in an attempt to pull the bill off the table in the Elec tions committee. He is putting up a valiant fight. How about lending him a little moral sup port? I promised you a conclusion this week to the story of The Man Who Came to Dinner (at the Governor's house). He did go back on the proper night and, Governor Holmes said they had missed him at lunch. The End.
