SLANTS FROM l
THE. SESSION,
By Nicky Tom
The legislature moves now into
what we hope will be the final
quarter of the game. 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

phosporous and 50 pounds sul
phur and 40 pounds nitrogen with
50 pounds phosporous, 50 pounds

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.
