the direction of Arnold Melby,
the Indians, Dodgers, Braves and
Giants Little League teams
marched up Main street carry
ing signs designating their
teams before competing in open
ing games.
The first game of the double
header started at 1:30 on the
Little League field with the
Braves outslugging the Giants
in a high scoring tilt, 19-10. The
Braves led off the scoring spree
as they had 14 men to bat and
run in nine runs on three hits.
Not to be out done, the Giants
came right back in the bottom
of the first to send up 14 bats
men and get nine runs on four
hits. The teams held even until
the top of the third when the
Braves got the bat going to get
six runs on five his and take
the lead, then picked up four
more runs in the last three inn-
ings. They held the Giants to
one run in the sixth. Larrv Pettv
john started on the mound for
the Braves with Kent Pratt com
ing on Bn the fourth. For the
Giants Terry Prock started, with
LaVerne Van Marter relieving
in the lourth.
In the second same the Ind
ians picked up five runs in the
bottom of the first against the
Dodgers and were never headed
as they held the Dodgers to five
runs while scoring nine in the
fourth, and two more in the fifth.
The Dodgers were held scoreless
until the fifth when they pushed
across four runs on one hit and
picked another run in the sixth
on one hit. The Indians took
advantage of the walks in the
fourth to keep the bases loaded
and scoring runs. Pat Kilkenny
started for the Indians with
Chuck Herrick, Ronnie Palma
teer, and Peck relieving. John
McCabe started on the mound for
the Dodgers with Jon O'Donnell
taking over in the fourth.
In game action Monday night
the scoring pace slowed down,
with better pitching and less
errors. The Braves took a 6-5
decision over a fighting Dodger
team. The Dodgers opened the
scoring as John McCabe stole
home in top of the first after
getting on on a walk. They pick
ed up another run in each of
the second and third innings and
led the Braves 3-0. The Braves
got their bats swinging to come
up with four runs on four hits
in the bottom of the third to
take the lead. The Dodgers came
right back to punch across two
more runs and take the lead
again 5-4, getting three hits.
In the bottom of the fourth,
Kelly Green opened with a
double and Larry Pettyjohn
banged a homerun over left
center fence to score two runs
putting the Braves back in the
lead. The Braves then loaded the
bases but the Dodgers held them
with a force-out and two strike
outs. The Dodgers were up and
down in order in the fifth and
sixth innings and they put the
Braves out in order in the bottom
of the1 fifth to end the see-saw
battle, 6-5 for the Braves.
Pettyjohn started on the
mound for the Braves, Kevan
Pratt took over in the fourth.

Disagreement Over How to Raise
Taxes Prolongs Adjournment
Disagreement betw e e n the
House and Senate over how to
raise taxes has given the 1963
Legislature the dubious distinc
tion of holding the longest ses
sion in history. The old mark
was equalled Tuesday, May 21,
on the 128th day.
Most legislators are hopeful
that things will wind up late
this week, however. But it all
depends on whether the House
and Senate can agree on a tax
package.
Several weeks ago. the House
voted to raise most of the $60
million additional money need
ed by the state during the next
two years by levying a 4c per
pack cigarette tax, plus a "net
receipts" income tax. This pro
posal went to the Senate.
Then, last week, the Senate
Taxation Committee came out
with a re-worked version of the
tax bill, which completely elim
inated the cigarette tax. The
Senate Committee felt that the
best approach was to rely on
an even stiffer income tax.
The Senate proposal would
raise approximately $52 million
in new revenue, all through in
creased income taxes. The House
version would rely on income
taxes for $35 miliion and cig
arette taxes for $12 million.
Basically, this is what the

Marv Johnson and Gail Hos-
kins, Heppner High school jun
iors, will attend the summer con
vention for Future Teachers As
sociation on the Oregon College
of Education campus, Mon
mouth, July 7 through 11. The
girls were chosen by the faculty
on the basis that they have
shown an interest in a future
career as a teacher.
Mary, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs.. Clarence Johnson, has been

in two school plays and won

Gail, the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Hoskins, is the newly
elected Student Body secretary.

this year and is a member of
Quill and Scroll, Pep club, Girls'
League and GAA. She will be

Senate proposal calls for:
A tax range of 3 to 7.
(The present rate scale is 3
to 9.5).
An increase in the personal
exemption from the present $600
to $650, and in the case of joint
returns, from the present $1,200
to $l,dUO.
A reduction in the depen
dency exemptions from the
present $600 to $400.
A minimum tax (filing fee)
of $10, or $20 on joint returns.
Elimination of the federal
tax deduction on state returns.
As reported several weeks
ago, the House version also elim
inates the federal deduction and
calls for a flat 1 tax on all
income up to $16,000 or a flat
li tax on all income over
$16,000, with no deductions or
exemptions. In addition to the
flat scale, the House proposal
would also impose a graduated
tax, ranging from 1 to 6, but
in this area deductions would
be allowed.
The House plan would sub
stitute a $22 credit on computed
taxes, rather than the present
$600 personal and dependency
deduction.
In simple terms, the Senate's
tax plan would cost more, as
far as income taxes are con
cerned. The House version would
require a smaller income tax
hike, since it could rely on cig
arette taxes to obtain some
revenue.
Either way, taxes will be
raised.
Senator Anthony Yturil (R-
Ontario) was one of the three
members of the Senate Tax
ation Committee who voted
against the program. He said he
favors a cigarette tax and the
House-passed "net receipts" ap
proach. Other members voting
with Yturri in committee were
Senators Donald Husband (R-
Eugene) and Vernon Cook (D-
Gresham). Senators voting for
the bill in committee were Chair
man Boyd Overhulse ID-Mad
ras), Robert Elfstrom (R-Salem),
Walter Pearson (D-Portland),
and Glen Stadler (R-Eugene).
The $10 minimum tax feature
in the Senate version would
serve to broaden the tax base
and obtain revenue from many
low income taxpayers who now
pay nothing.
"It was the feeling of the ma
jority of the committee that
since by far the major part of
the state's expenditure was for
education, those people having
children to educate were equit
ably the ones who should be
paying the cost," said Sen.
Overhulse. "I am sure that every
taxpayer with a family recog
nizes this fact and is willing to
bear his share of the tax load."
House Speaker Clarence Bar
ton (D-Coquille) spoke out
against the Senate's tax plan. He
particularly opposes the pro
posed reduction of the depen
dency allowance from $600 to
$400.
"The House should insist on
an equitable tax bill," said Bar
ton. "It shouldn't be hesitant to
spend plenty of time to resolve
the tax situation to its satis
faction and for the good of the
people of the state."
If he Senate approves its Tax
ation Committee's proposal, it
would then go to a House
Senate conference committee, in
an attempt to resolve their dif
ferences. And while they're doing this,
the one fear in their minds will
be that the final plan also must
not be too objectionable to the
voters. For in Oregon, the people
have the right to initiate a ref
erendum and possibly overrule
a new tax. They've done it be
fore.
