I am here to be of assistance and tc fill out the necessary
pape-s I oulu never dream, of mr.ilmg you a bunch of forms
with a' request that you forward them to the convoany after

is is true ith the insurance man, sc is it true ith
most other local businesses tat ith the purchase of a
local product the consumer is also buying a service at a
later date if it is needed. No one stands behind a product
like the rr.r. you deal iifc every day.
e feel that the local businesses deserve every bit
of support hict local consumers can give them. They are
the ones ho ill support the community and quarantee
their products. The best buy is always at home.

Wheat offered a better finan
cial reward. The cost
to the Japunese was the
World price, about $1.33
per bu. The 21 cents per
bu. freight rate is one of
the cheapest m the Pacific.
This made the cost of this
wheat at the Japanese port
approximately $1.76 per bu.
The supported price of do
mestic wheat in Japan
is about S3. 60 per bu.
This gave the Japenese Govt,
approx. SIM profit.
To sum this up the four
principal parties to a set
tlement wouid end up in
about this position:
1 Japan ould gain the
most from opening the docks.
Their chief customer wouid

superior cheap soft white
wheat ould help balance the
trade. They are making
money on both ends of the
transaction.
2 The Grain Buyers and
Longshoremen would gain
their negotiated settlement.
3 The Grain Farmer would
continue to lose over 50
cents per bu. above the
cost of production at the
farm with a market price
of SI. 33 per bu. at Port

Personal property taxpayers are re
quired to file a return of taxable prop
erty as of January 1, 1972 with the
Assessor on or before March 3, 1972.
A penalty is provided for late filing.
Inventory owners (including all
livestock) will again be eligible for
some reduction of property tax this
year if the return is filed on time. The
law does not permit the Assessor to
allow the reduction in inventory value
for tax relief under certain circumstan
ces when the personal property report
is not accurately reported or is filed
after March 3.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
FUTURE PENALTY PROVISIONS The 1969
Legislature amended ORS 308.235 (Late Filing
Penalty Law), to provide: The Penalty for late
filing (After March 9) of Personal Property
Returns shaU be SI for each SI .000 (or fraction)
of True Cash Value but not less than S10 or
more than S250.
Any person who has not had an op
portunity to report by mail or personal
contact may obtain the forms at the
office of the assessor.
Time is getting short. ORS 308290
makes it the responsibility of the tax
payer to file these reports on time or
