financial institution of their
choice. Tom McPherson. So
cial Security manager in
Pendleton, said recently.
Direct deposit arrangement
can be made with a bank,
savings bank, savings and
loan association, federal- or
stale-chartered credit union,
or similar institutions.
There are several advan
tages to direct deposit, Mc

A person does not have to
stand in line to cash or deposit
checks.
Money is immediately avail
able in the person's account if
he or she is away from home.
There are no check cashing
problems because the pay
ments go directly uto an
account.
A person does not have to
worry about losing his or her
check or having it stolen.

is misleading the public on his
presentation of the Value
Added Tax (VAT).
In a news conference held
prior to UUman s recent
presentation in Portland on
"his "national sales tax" to the
annual meeting of the Oregon
Tax Research Organization,
Smith cited two examples of
Ullman's misleading the pub
lic. "Number one," said Smith,
"Ullman says that the new tax
will not be an additional tax,
meaning there will be no
increase in total taxes. But
according to Ullman's new tax
bill, which he introduced Nov.
7, total national sales tax
revenues would be $148 billion
and would only reduce other
taxes by $130 billion. That is
an $18 billion tax increase
"Second", Smith stated,
"Ullman says that the new
national sales tax would be an
incentive for savings and
investments. I fail to see how
taxing away more of a
person's spendable income
will leave them with any more
money to save or invest."
Smith went on to say that
Ullman's new national sales
tax would be extremely infla
tionary and regressive. It
would hurt the poor and senior
citizens the most. Those living
on fixed incomes have to
spend a larger share of their
dollars on necessities.
"Mr. Ullman has lived in
Virginia for too long," Smith
said. "He has forgotten how
hard Oregonians have to work
to make ends meet."
Drunk driving
considered as
Very serious'
Driving while intoxicated,
either under the influence of
alcohol or another drug, is a
very serious offense in Ore
gon. Some facts about the
penalties for DWI, available
from the Morrow County
Sheriff's office, may make a
person think twice about
driving while under the influ
ence of any intoxicant.
If you refuse to take a
chemical test when you are
requested to do so after an
arrest for DWI, your license
will be suspended for 120 days.
A blood alcohol reading of
.10 percent establishes the fact
that you were driving under
the influence of intoxicants.
You may be convicted at a
lower BAC level or without a
chemical test if the officer has
enough evidence to convince a
judge that you were driving
while intoxicated.
Oregon law provides that
you may also be convicted of
DWI if you are driving under
the influence of dangerous or
narcotic drugs, or if you are
driving under the influence of
a drug and alcohol. .
You are not allowed to
forfeit bail, plead guilty or no
contest to any other charge in
exchange for a dismissal of a
DWI charge.
Driving while intoxicated is
a Class A traffic infraction.
The maximum penalty is a
$1,000 fine. A judge may order
you to take part in a
rehabilitation program, after
a diagnosis of your drinking
habits. A judge may also
suspend your license, require
you to take part in a defensive
driving course or place limita
tions on your license.
If it is a second, third or
subsequent DWI charge, it
will be prosecuted as a Class A
misdemeanor. Both a fine and
jail sentence may be imposed
if you are convicted. The law
also requires a one year
suspension of your driver's
license following a second
conviction within five years,
and a three year suspension if
it is your third or subsequent
conviction within five years.
A license suspended can be
partially reinstated only if you
take part in an approved
rehabilitation program, re
ceive the necessary recom
mendations, and you are other
wise qualified under the law
for consideration of a partial
reinstatement. .
When a license has been
suspended for any reason, you
must pay an $8 fee before it
can be reinstated.
