MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1933.
BARNES HOPEFUL
SALES TAX BILL
BE
To th. Editor!
There u a public hearing lwt
Monday evening; before the taxation
and assessment committee of the
legislature on house bill S8. which
provides for a sales tax for shelter
tax exemption.
The committee room was packed
with delegation of "farmers" from
the city of Portland, headed by Mr.
OU1, a large seed and feed merchant
of Portland, and a delegation of real
estate men from Portland, large own
ers of Portland real estate.
Mr. Nichols of Douglas county was
chairman, and gave us every oppor
tunity to explain the bill. Outside
of the committee, only five or six
legislators attended the meeting, as
moat of them were busy on other
committees. We had an attentive
hearing and X found, when I visited
the capltol the next morning, that
the sentiment was, unquestionably,
for the bill. I met several of the
committeemen and three of the leg
islators who had attended the meet
ing. They were all for the proposal.
They all believe we must have a
sales tax and the greater part of the
revenue derived from this tax mutt
go to our counties and should finally
appear on some home owner's tax
receipt and not be used for general
tax reduction as proposed by the
Portland Realty board. They realize
the burden of care of the unemployed
falla upon the various counties, and
they must have cash to take care
of the emergency.
The opposition. In spesklng at the
oommlttee hearing, seemed to me t
have prepared their talks before they
had an understanding of the pro
posal. I think our conclusion will
atand, that It is mora a family affair.
The families of the state will pay
the esles tax and should get the bene
fit of a tax credit on tnelr homer
as we have provided, or If unem
ployed, as direct assistance, first as
teller and finally as a measure to
assist the unemployed in getting em
ployment and homes for themselvee.
There will be a Joint hearing In a
week or ten days, at which the com
mittee on taxation and revenue will
attend. When this bearing Is held,
very citizen of Jackson county who
can go to Salem should attend this
meeting. The Information the gov
ernor and the legislators want to
have Is whether or not the "folks
back home" will support this pro
posal If It Is referred to them. - If
we oould got SO citizens from Jack
son county to attend this hearing It
would Impress the legislators with
the alnosrlty of the advocacy of -"sole-son
county for this measure. Espec
ially should the county . court, the
director of the Chamber of Com
merce, the Realty board, the mem
bers of the Orange and merchant of
Jackson county attend this hearing.
Now a word In regard to the con
stitutionality of this measure.' This
measure was submitted to the lead
ing attorneys of Motirord, and they
are of the same opinion, "A man's
homestead osn he exempted from
. taxation." We are ohanclng the
wording of the bill, upon suggestions
made Jy the attorney-general.
Day, Kelly and Dunn are working
hard for this bill, and are making
friends for It every day. When once
our people fully realize the economlo
error of taxing a man's shelter, the
correction certainly will be made. I
hope It will be made In Oregon at
this time. I am certain of the final
outcome. J, O. BARNES.

PROBLEM FOR Fl
(Continued from Paga One)
It may prove ImpoMtble to get the
majority required by the Interstate
Commerce commission to assent to a
compromise.
The Chicago A Northwestern eltua
tlon could lead to an old-fashioned
receivership. Bsdlcal government ao
tlon may have Its roots here.
Whatever differences of opinion ths
Democratic leaders may have they
ar united on one thing. They an
screed that Mr. Roosevelt shall be
given complete authority and re
sponilblllty for carrying through his
economy plans In the administrative
departments.
Final anrlyal of the election by
counties shows an amusing sidelight.
Hoover carried only one county on
the entire paclfle coast. That was
Benton county In Oregon named for
one of the moat active Democrats of
history. Incidentally, this li two leas
counties thsn Hoover carried In the
state of Georgia,
Hew York hears rumblings that
' drnatio debt legislation is on the way
fr vt. the legislatures, of several west
ern states. Specifically there Is a re
port that Iowa may declare a general
moratorium on all long term debt.
Ths financial district Is watching de
velopments closely as such action
would have deep repercussions.
Local business men are still count
ing on a shortage of processed goods
to bring about a trade revival this
year. Normally sis billion dollars
worth of Industrial equipment Is or
dered each year. The ft sure dropped
to one billion in 1933. This docs not
include automobiles, radios or other
articles for domestic una.
Mr. Roosevelt was "shocked" re
cently over ths sales Ux. because he
has that earmarked for use by the
states. Ha Is understood hers to think
It will enable development of lower
real estate and other taxes. Later
on It might become a source for
federal revenue also, as with the gaao
Una tax.

FEDERAL INCOME
TAXES FOR 1932
ANNOUNCED DUE
Federal taxes on Incomes for 1933
are now due and payable, according
to Earl Foy. local deputy collector,
and will continue payable until the
end of tha filing period on March
15.
Many thousands of new persons
will come under t,he arm of the fed
eral Income tax this year who have
not paid the tax before, Foy said,
because of the reduced brackets in
the 1032 revenue act. Exemptions
for married persons were reduced
from $3500 to $2500, and the ex
emptions for a single person from
1500 to 1000, Foy said.
Two persons, living ss husband
and wife, who have a net joint Income
of $2500, or a gross income of s,
or more are required to file Income
tax returns. A single person hav
ing a net Income of tlOOO or more,
or a gross Income of 95000 or more
Is required to file a return accord
ing to Foy.
Deputy collector Foy said that all
returns must be file by March 15,
and that anyone having any doubt as
to whether or not ha or she should
file a return, the person is advised
to get In touch with the local office
in the federal building, and receive
Information.
Blanks will be mailed to all per
sona who have filed returns In past
years, Foy said, but the new 1932
act takes in many who have not
filed before. Blanks are mailed only
to those who have previously filed
returns. Others coming under the
new act must obtain the blanks from
Foy.
