Sales Tax Astir
Give the grass-root up-staters
plenty of credit for fighting for
what they do or do not want.
Last year they squelshed a well
heeled sales tax campaign into
a complete chastisement. Pan
icky candidates erased "sales
tax" from their campaign slo
gans.
The up-staters put the first
dents into the drive with their
"No Sales Tax" meetings as they
followed the schedule of the pros
closely in their far spaced meet
ings in Oregon towns Ontario,
Astoria, The Dalles, Medford, et
al.
Prospects for another scrap be
tween these political minutemen
is looming. Another sales tax
campaign with even an earlier
start than in 195G, generated
from the same sources but with
a different approach is in the
making.
Instead of big name speakers
(their time is too valuable they!
say) on the Chamber of Com
merce circuits the major efforts
will be throught newspapers and
over' the air.
A top adagency is developing
the publicity flair with "the busi.
ness" expected to be in matrix
before Labor Day.
Not o Property Taxi
Oregon has not had a state
property tax since the 1935 legis
lature when a Democratic house
was beshrewen and becussed by
Gov. Charles H. Martin (Dem).
A property tax and a sales tax
were the ghosts that trod the
halls of the Capitol during the
entire 128 days of the late ses
sion.
bveryone was careful not to
say a good word for either of the
bereft issues.
Bookmobiles Extended
State Librarian Miss Eleanor
Stephens and Gov. Holmes urge
citizens to meet and prepare- re
quests for the State Library
Board to consider in connection
wilh use of new stale and fed
erally matched funds that will
make it easier for many commu
nities to buy books and bookmo
biles to bring these vital facili
ties within reach of everyone.
The legislature provided an
appropriation of $154,086 for the
vsji-av niennium and uregons
allotment of $10,000 in federal
funds has already been received
Career Men Wanted
I he Oregon Civil Service Com
mission is really reaching out for
career men to fill their, eligibl
lists for state positions. The cur
rent illustrated appeal is in rea
big business format, with a
eight by eleven airvlew of the
Capitol and surrounding build

Visitors to Ottawa, Canada's Capital, are always attracted by the
stately beauty of the Peace Tower of the Parliament Buildings. It rises to a
height of 293 feet above the carefully tended grounds of Parliament Hill,
and dominates the whole city. Here, too, visitors may photograph the
scarlet-coated Mounties as they ride their sleek horses on summer traffic
patrol. For information on where to go and what to see on your vacation

At a recent meeting of the seed
committee plans were made for
seed certification and inspection
of clean fields of ssed trrain
which will be listed for reference
for those who might be interest
ed in puchasing new varieties or
cfeaner seed for planting this
fall . The seed committee com
posed of Max Barclay, Heppner,
cairman, Frank Anderson, Hepp
ner; Donald Peterson, lone; Ken
neth Smouse, lone and Kenneth
Peck, Lexinton asked that those
famers with clean fields of rec
ommended varieties who might
be interested in providing seed
grain list the field with one of
the committee or at the County
agent's office so that they
might be inspected prior to har
vest. They also urged that farm
ers who might have seed eligible
for certificattion make applica
tion soon so that sources of certi
fied seed might be established.
The committee planned to ins
pect prospective fields by July i

farmers with clean fields to use
care in cleaning seed treaters so
that mixtures did not result

and treating. With the newly

prevention of bloat in cattle

are at least two penicillin-salt

others who might be interested

Chevy's come up with the new
est, sweetest, smoothest auto
matic drive TurhogliJe. It's
the first and only triple-turbine
transmission!
Turboglide is something really new
and different in automatic drives.
In the first place, there's only one
forward-speed position on the con
trol panel. There's no "Low"
needed.
Turboglide handles everything
with the oil-smooth action of
triple turbines. You travel from a
standstill to top cruising speeds
with never a lurch or lag to mar
your motion.
When you see a steep downhill
stretch ahead, you set the selector
at "Gr" (Grade Retarder) and
Turboglide helps slow you down.
Try Chevy's new, nothing-like-it
automatic drive. It's optional at
extra cost-and worth it. 1
