The story in the Sunday paper,
about the man who found 1130,000

The average reador would like to
know, and It was not set forth, what
waa aald by the Interested parties,
and what was the reward to the find

about "honesty being its own reward"
was cited. The finder wss a banker,

could hardly be expected to be hu

there will be quite an argument over

we will be armed with a lawyer. It

School Sales Tax Explained
I N answer to many inquiries
new sales and publie utility
the summary of the measure, sent out by C. A. Howard, wiperin'
Undent of publie instruction, as follows.
A. finnersl Explanation
1. A ont and one-half per nt tax on retail tales of tangible
peraonal property and utility aervlcf. The bill ll modeled cloaely
iter the California ealea tax law. No tax on personal or pro
fwflonal aervloe.
2. Tax to be pasted on to the ultimate consumer In ao far ae
may reasonably be done.
8. The state tax comrnljilon estimates that this bill will
produce 14,000,000 annually for the schools.
4. This bill becomes effective Macch 10, 1034, If the referen
dum Is not invoked. If the referendum la Invoked and the blU
carries, 't will become effective on or about May 33, 1034.
6. The bill covers a period of slightly over two years and
the expiration date is July 1, 1036,
v 8, Exemptions from Tax
1. Gross receipts from retail sales of motor vehicle fuel upon
which a sales tax has heretofore been Imposed by this state.
3. Gross receipt from sales of tangible personal property by
farmers, producers, manufacturers, wholesalers or Jobbers to
farmers, producer or other dealers for resale.
0. Oross receipts of each person from retail sales of tangible
personal property or of utility service to the extent of $60 a
month.
C. General Provisions
1, Receipts from the sales tax will be collected by the state
tax commission.
3. All' the revenue collected under this act, after deducting
the cost of collection, goes for the relief of the public elementary
and high schools.
f. The bill provides for the reduction of county and school
district property taxes for school purposes In the amount re
ceived from the sales tax fund.
4. Apportionments to each county are made monthly by the
secretary of state.
D. Apportionment of Funds
1. Twenty-five per cent of the net receipts (estimated at
$1,000,000 per year) apportioned to counties on basis of their
respective equalised assessed valuations. The amount received
by each county shall be applied by the county assessor to reduce
the property tax levy for the county school fund. The average
reduction In county property tax levies would be approximately
one mill.
3. Seventy-five per cent of the net receipts (estimated at
48,000,000 per year) to bo apportioned to counties and thence to
school districts on the basis of the number of classroom units,
both elementary and high school, to reduce the school district
property tax. There are approximately 7600 such classroom
units In Oregon. The apportionment would, therefore, amount
to approximately 4400 for each classroom unit per year. The bill
requires that the county assessor shall cut from the district
property tax levy of eech school district the amount estimated to
' be received by It from the sales tax fund.
8, Amounts received by high school districts from this fund
to be taken Into account In reducing tuition costs for high
school pupils from the non-high school districts. Average re
duction would be at least $16 per pupil,
4. The effect on the school district tax levy of any school
district can be determined In the following manner:
(a) Determine the number of elementary and high school class
room units In the district In accordance with the scale in
Section E of this circular. This number will correspond
closely with the number of teachers employed.
(b) Multiply the number of classroom units by $400, which Is
the approximate annual apportionment for each such class
room unit. This will give the amount to be received by
the 41a tr lot annually.
(c) This amount divided by the asseased valuation of the school
district will give the reduction In the school district pro
perty tax levy In mills.
(d) In addition to this reduction there wilt be a reduction of
approximately 1 mlU In the. levy for the county school fund.

only be certain of one Sinclair Lewis we might even be mis

Street" and "Babbit" in the unabridged dictionary, will ever be
forgotten.
But at most the contributors to permanent literature, on
this side of the Atlantic can be counted on the fingers of one
hand. So it seems only fair that both Chambers and Vance
should AT LEAST be given credit for outstanding success in
their chosen fields. They wore interested neither in reflecting
the world aa it is, nor in changing it they were only interested
in writing books that would sell, in diverting and thrilling and
entertaining their public and who will say that isn't a good
deal an accomplishment of which any person may well be
proud,
MO lasting good will oome from their literary efforts, but,
on the other hand, no harm. They took their readers out
of this humdrum world into another world of mystery and ro
mance, and while the rescue was a temporary one, it was not
only pleasant while it lasted, but the results wore beneficial.
In short they were not creative artists, they were entertain

NOT ALL THE HEAT IN SOME UO VSEIIOLDS IS DL'E TO FRICTION
When fsther gets home from busi
ness at 6 or 0 in the evening the
household temperature, mother eom-
plalna. quickly
rises to 86 or 00,
and the protests
of other members
of the family are
of no avail. Yet
father la an ard
ant follower of
or Doe Brady
and quotes from
hie teachings to
consolidate h 1 a
position on ill
occasions. So,
mother wheedies,
a few sarcastlca-
tlons on the subject m my column
would be timely Just now.
Before we begin sarcastlcatlng,
however, may we not remind our
readers that while the OV . Doc Is
always happy to say anything within
reason, or If necessary a bit beyond,
to keep the pase and preserve the
health of the home, nevertheless he
declines to be anybody's oatspaw. In
this column we tell the scientific
truth about physiology and hygiene,
let the chips fall where they may.
Even in our household where, you
might suppose, everything would be
ideally arranged In respect to health
and hygiene, a completely satisfactory
standard of temperature, humidity
and ventilation has never been achiev
ed. We struggled with the problem
for years and years, Installed various
ingenious gadgets calculated to regu
late and condition the atmosphere,
strove paternally and patiently to
educate all hands not to monkey with
the Implements after we had set them
on the correct hair trigger but by
Christmas, I regret to relate, father
Invariably threw up his hands in
despair and retired all shot.
With the turn of the years this
grew tedious. A sad day when a man
abdicates as king of his own castle.
CSo at last we hit on a happy solu
tion. Or so we thought. We picked
up our things and hied away to a
country where there Is no winter.
We found the country fully up to
the claim s advertised. But my good
ness. So far as escaping the tradi
tional vexations of winter Is concern
ed, we know now that we were only
kidding ourselves. I do not believe
the farther you get away from the
cold, damp northern winter the more
vapid are the popular notions about
drnfts, cold and catarrh. Here, where
summer Is eternal, you scarcely need
to practice belly breathing conscious
ly. All you need do Is look and listen.

WHILE we are on the subject ot

OWA, you know, ts the Civil Works
Administration, and Civil Worka Ad
ministration, right now, la handing

This order, reduced to its simplest
terms, means: "It you spend your

Oovernmcut says, In one breath:
Buy liquor, which Is now perfectly
legal, and thus provide taxes for your
government."
In the neit breath It says: "II
you are going to buy liquor with
your money, you can't have a OWA
Job."
Not very consistent, Is Itt
But then government never was
very consistent.
H
ERR Is something to think about:

That, in the future, la going to be

the name of a layman's handbook or.
reference work on this subject? The
B. H. N.
Answer I have no such pamphlet.
There are books about blood pressure,
but Z cannot recommend them. In
my opinion delving In such books
only confuses the lay reader and
rather does harm.

ticular make of) soap and use (a
proprietary remedy against malodor

of underclothes . . . yet I cringe every
