The total of the basic school
fund is arrived at by multiplying
the undeducted $105 by the num
ber of school children between
the ages of 3 and 21. The four
and five and 19 and 20 agers, it
is claimed, are reckoned in the
total when pupils in these cate
gories are not in full attendance.
Blind persons will get an in
come tax credit of $18 instead of
exemptions.
Persons over 65 years old will
get a similar credit of $12. These
credits may be deducted from the
next tax payments.
The repeal of the state property
tax was one of the final acts of
the legislature. Under the present
law the state can levy a 6-mill
property tax if revenues fall short
of budgeted expenses. Oregon has
not had a property tax levy since !
1940 nor has it had a depres
sion since 1940.
Just before adjournment of the
Special Session a bill was pas
sed by the Republican Senate to
give property tax exemption on
homes of persons over 65 who
earn less than $1200 a year. The
Democratic House killed it.
The limit of income tax col
lections was reduced from 91 to
74 million.
The act that pleased everyone,
except the lucky bond clippers,

During the holiday season, nothing is more satisfying than pre
paring gifts in your own kitchen for friends and neighbors, ft is
often the unexpected and thoughtful gift that brings pleasure to
others.
For youngsters, the Cookie Tree is fun. The tree itself is cut
from a square of white plastic foam which you can get at the
variety store or florist shop. First, cut a flat tree shape, then two
half trees. These halves can be attached to the flat tree shape with
rounded toothpicks to form a four-sided tree. The base is a five
inch circle of foam. Attach the assembled tree to the base with
toothpicks. Put glitter on the edges of the branches with white
plastic glue.
Use your favorite cookie mixes or recipes and make the cookies
about two inches across or less. Wrap them in transparent plastic
wrap, attach a small piece of colorful riblwn to the back of the
wrapped cookie with a bit of cellulose tape. Then arrange cookies
on the tree with small pins. The cookies can he removed for eating,
yet replacements can bo ec.;ily attached. The plastic wrap will
protect the cookies while they are on the tree and give them a
holiday sparkle.
Candies can be attiactively pickajed in small plastic berry boxes.
Place a plastic foam snowflal.e on t u, then overwrap the box with
plastic wrap.
Small fruit cakes can ba Vakcd in muffin cups and garnished
Willi candied fruit. When these are wrapped they glisten and give
a festive look to your gift
was the repeal of the state prop
erty tax law under which a 6
mill property tax can be levied
whenever state income is lower
than state requirements.
Surpluses Common
Surpluses have been the rule
in Oregon for the past 12 years,
as the following chart clearly

When it became apparent that
the income taxes levied in 1957
were going to produce more rev
enue that the state needed, Gov
ernor Holmes called the Legisla
ture back into special session to
reduce taxes.
Too great a reduction in reven
ues would seriously endanger the
state's economic position; a reas
onable reduction, however, would
provide funds necessary for the
efficient operation of the state's
business and at the same time
not take more than was absolute
ly necessary.
Senator Jean L. Lewis, who is
credited with stable fiscal plan
ning, said, "The Democratic po
sition throughout the special ses
sion was based on the theory of
maintaining a sound economy-
keeping the tax structure level
not taking one cent beyond that
which was absolutely necessary;
no new surplus no deficit no
sales tax. No big benefit this
year that would create a bigger
tax next year."
Plea For Annual Sessions
Caucusing at the late special
session of the Oregon Legislature
took as much time as convened
deliberations and more than for
committee work which makes
good argument for annual ses
sions. The first session could be
reserved for all caucusing leaving
the next exclusively for regular
legislative work.
Savings Bonds Sales Up
Are the Oregon people who buy
F. and H. Savings bonds smarter
than those who play the stock
market?
October sales for these bonds
in Oregon were greater than any
other month in 1957, totaling $4,
800,451. This wise buying was
made weeks before the stock
market started to pick up a few
days ago
