JIEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, DEEMBF.Tt 15, 193,1. PAOE FTVE STATE SALES TAX Om of the best meeting ever heM by the Jackson County School Mas ters' club was held In the Senior high school In Ashland last Might. Mein speaker of the evening was Professor I. E. Vining, who talked to the club on the subject of adjustments. Mr. Vlning handled hie timely subject in a masterly way which showed consid erable original research and thought. Mr. Vinlng's talk was followed by consideration of the recent sales tax passed by the state legislature for the relief of schools. The club was hon ored In having with them Represen tative A. E. Brockway, who made clear Just why the committee on taxation found It necessary to recommend a sales tax. It was interesting to note in following Mr. Brock way's talk how the committee worked thoroughly over every other plan suggested, call' Ing to Its assistance for definite sta tistical Information the state tax commission, and found that none of the plans submitted would raise any where near the required revenue nee easary to save the schools, and most of them either robbed other funds or were filled with extremely dangerous consequences to the beet Interests of the state of Oregon at a whole. It was brought out that this state now has one of the highest income tax rates in the United States. An other interesting condition brought out by Mr. Brockway in his remarks was that no one, not even those avow edly favorable to a, sales tax, had boped that such a tax could be put over, and there was no organized sates tax lobby on hand. In fact, a known sales tax advocate during most of the session was shunned. It was only at the close of the session when every other method seemed futile that the sales tax was proposed. Still another Interesting highlight of the session was the consistent unalterable opposi tion of the Grange lobby to practical ly every method of raising revenue except the Income and Inheritance tax. After Mr. Brockway explained thor oughly why a sales tax was passed. the tax Itself was taken up in Its important details by Supt. E. H. Hed rick, who made It clear that the tax Is a tax on tangible property sold at retail and public utility service, that every dollar except the cost of col lecting the tax goes to the public schools, that the bill Is so word-d that the proper and equitable distri bution of the tax to the schools U assured, and that every dollar of the tax acts as a direct otset to the coun ty and district school tax on prop erty. The whole bill expires on July 1, 1936. 30 that the people of Oregon are safeguarded in case the sales tax proves to be a tax they do not want. To continue it beyond July 1, 1936. will require its re-enactment by the legislature. Interesting discussions and ques tions followed the talks of "the last two speakers, with the result that the Jackson County School Masters' club went on record as unanimously favoring the sales tax and pledged their undivided support to that t. In the event that the threatened ref erendum is invoked. Delightful music was furnished by Mr. Huber on the violin and Miss Claycomb at the piano. A delightful dinner was served the club at 6:30. About 60 members were in attendance. The sentiment was freely expressed that this was one of the most beneficial and instructive meetings ever held by the club. ON POOLE'S CASE A decision will be rendered Monday morning by Circuit Judge H. D. Nor ton in the case of Wllllnm Chester Poole, 19, Butte Palls youth, and CCC worker, who admitted a aeries of housebreakings, auto thefts and petty thieving, extending over the past year. The father told the court his son had purchased a second-hand car, and "I think keeping the thing going Is responsible for most of the trouble." The father said he thought the "boy should be sent to some plnce for a year or so, where he can straighten up." The father said he never sus pected the thefts, a his son was ideal at home.

D. Norton, and awaits his decision. All the principals resided in the Bed Topp district, where the case attracted considerable Interest. Haines 1 the father of four children. The chief contentions of the de fense are that the foreman of the grand jury did not sign the indict ment, and that state had no right to ask the defendant relative to a trip to Butte Palls with the girl, accom panied by others. The state holds that it had a right to query Haines relative to his asso ciation with the girt, and that a su preme court decision holds that sig nature of the grand Jury foreman is technical.
