TAXPAYERS PAY UP FOR DISCOUNT ' Taxpaying continues in fair volume at the tax collection de partment of the sheriff's office. If paid before November 15, a discount of three per cent is granted for payments in full. Half payments are allowed a one per cent discount. No dis count is given on quarterly pay ments.' A large percentage of payments are for the full 1843 1944 tax year, and the higher discount. ' " Sheriff Syd I. Brown said to day, "It is better for taxpayers to make their payments early than all rush in on November 14, and on the final day November 15." f&t . 10 years winning FAVOR through its FLAVOR Make anrf serve like comi MEAKfASTOJP P3 1 I . ' - s OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1943 Washington. Oct. 29. U.B K. C. Eldredge, a Portland, Ore., grocer, today estimated before the House Agriculture commit tee that "nuisance regulations" on the sale of oleomargarine cost him $2,200 per year and con stitute a "burden that Is both unjust and unfair." Complicated treasury restric tions substantially the same as are required of a narcotics dealer compel large margarine wholesalers to pay a $200 yearly tax, employ at least one extra person to handle records, result in undue spoilage, and waste gasoline and rubber, he said in asking repeal of margarine taxes. Eldredge said one restriction makes it necessary for a sales man to bring each margarine order to the company s central office, where a complicated card and tax return file is made out before "so much as a pound can be delivered." No telephone or mail orders can be accepted, he said, nor can margarine be delivered before card and tax forms have been filled out. "If one food product that goes over the counter to the house wife is taxed," he asked, "why shouldn't they all be?" TALENTlRGLAR TAKES OVER $100 A 10-cent slot machine con taining an estimated $100 was removed from Long's cafe in Talent Wednesday night by bur glars who also stole $10 in nickels, $3 in dimes from the till, a .32-calibre revolver and an undetermined amount of gum, cigarettes and candy, state police and the sheriff's office reported today. An attempt was also made to break open a 5-cent slot machine, after it was dragged into the back room, but it was unsuccess ful, police said. No trace has been found of the heavy 10-cent machine and no clues to the burglary were uncovered, police stated. Entrance to the establishment was effected by prying oft a screen on a back window and opening the latter through a hole in the glass. It was the second time in the past three 'months the place has been burglarized. Ou Mall Tribune Want da.
