PAGE THE EH NO PROPERTY TAX IN STATE AFTER JULY FORESEEN Income Tax Receipts Will Take Care of Levy For Last Half. Salem, Dec. 20. (P) Predic tion that the state of Oregon would not need to levy property taxes for either general or special purposes for the fiscal year beginning July 1. 1942, was voiced here today by Charles V. Galloway, chairman of the state tax commission. Galloway expressed this be lief in explaining the commis sion's levy, to be filed on Mon day, for the half year ending next June 30. Th half var lew will amount to $4,332,300.77 under the six per cent limitation, an to be met from income tax re ceipts. The commission said the state's requirements for the half year actually wouia De o,iiu, 168.95. The $807,868.18 differ ence between the legal levy and these requirements will be mere ly a book deficit and one the in heritance tax and similar re ceipts will wipe out. Galloway said. Income taxes receipted to the treasury during 1941 have ex ceeded the official estimate of a year ago by $1,821,058, creating the surplus from which the two mill elementary school tax will be lifted from property in the first half of 1942 for the first time in the state's history.

STORES CLOSE UP Las Vegas, Nev., Dec. 20. (JPt 'Members of the Las Vegas Merchants' association closed their stores today in protest against what they called "out law" picket operations which resulted in a brush with soldiers and other disorders. A few hours after the AFL Teamsters' union began picket ing a big food market Thursday, a picket was reported to have attempted strong - arming an army officer who knocked him out Then a group of soldiers, atcing on their own responsi bility, shouldered various pick ets off the sidewalk. The pickets disappeared. In other engagements, two union organizers were injured seriously enough to be taken to hospitals. They are Dan Kelly and Earl Reilly. Kelly was re ported hurt in a fight with an other unionist over dues. Reilly said he was attacked by two , workers In an alley. The upshot of it all was that the Merchants association de cided to shut up shop until what it called "racketeering" union elements are banished from, town. ARMY WILL SEEK t: Washington, Dec. 20.
