TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Friday, March 18, 1953
Measures in Oregon Legislature
Salem (U.R) A letter has
been dropped in the mails, ad
dressed to the Joint Ways and
Means Committee from the
House Taxation Committee. It
urged the budget-making body
of both Houses of the Legisla
ture to make no cuts in funds
for the property re-appraisal
program.
The letter pointed out that if
any portion of the tax program
now being hammered into shape
by the taxation committee
should be delayed or rejected
by referendum action of the
people, state finances would
automatically fall back on a
state property tax. For that rea
son, the letter said, the re-appraisal
program would be
doubly important to assure full
and equitable taxation in all 36
counties in Oregon.
The committee also consid
ered a bill that would increase
by one-half per cent the tax on
insurance premiums. There was
opposition to the measure from
insurance firms who said the in
crease might discourage invest
ments in insurance by Oregon
ians. Rep. Walter Pearson (D-Port-land),
who is an insurance man
himself, told the committee that
domestic insurance companies
in Oregon now pay no taxes
whatever to the state. Witnesses
from insurance companies said
they considered the premium
tax a tax on character since it
applied only to persons with
character enough to tax them
selves for future protection of
their families.
a tax program is a step closer to
realization as the House turned
down by a vote of 34 to 26 an at
tempt to kill Senate joint resolu
tion 4.
That measure would submit
to the voters the proposition that
the Legislature be allowed to
put the emergency clause on tax
measures so they could go into
effect immediately.
The state constitution now
bans emergency clauses on tax
measures so that they cannot
go into effect for 90 days after
the end of the Legislature.
Salem (U.R) A bill to re
strict fishing derbies as waste
ful of Oregon's fish resources
has received the support of 34
members of the house of representatives.
Salem (U.R) No action came
out of a Senate Commerce and
Utilities Committee hearing on
a proposal to give the public
utilities commissioner power
over lowering intrastate freight
rates but the committee said a
final decision probably would
be reached next week.
A discussion of the proposed
bill showed that a majority of
the committee opposes the meas
ures. The bill, sponsored by Sen.
Lowell Steen (R - Milton - Free
water), is supported by barge
and truck operators. It is op
posed by the railroads.
Salem U.R) More power for
the state legislature in drafting
Baker Deer Dead
Believed Lighter
Than Reported
Portland OJ.R) A district
agent for the State Game Com
mission has reported that "no
evidence" was found to indicate
that loss of deer by starvation
in the Keating area of Baker
county was as high as had been
indicated.
Karl Morton, district agent at
Baker, told the commission that
eight of nine major draws on the
north side of the Powder river
had been walked to, or close to,
their heads. He found 38 dead
fawns and seven dead adults.
Sixty dead deer were observed
from the highway, including 43
placed in one pile by sportsmen.
Morton said that "obviously
not all carcasses were located,
but no evidence was found to
indicate that losses in that area
have reached the rumored figure
of 400 to 500, nor to bear out an
additional rumor that big bucks
have died in great numbers away
from the highway." He said only
four dead adult bucks were seen
in the side draws.
The commission said it would
sponsor a public inspection of
the Keating deer winter range
on the week end of April 2-3.
The vote came on an attempt
to substitute an adverse minori
ty report from the House com
mittee on fish and game. A ma
jority of the committee sup
ported the bill.
Rep. Robert Klemsen (D-St.
Helens) said the committee had
been given no evidence that
derbies had any damaging ef
fect on fish supplies. He said
the State Game Commission had
recently doubled the bag limits
on game fish and he asked the
House if that looked as though
the fish resources of the state
were being depleted by fish
derbies.
Salem U.R) A proposed
House Taxation Committee pack
age of revenue measures will
be explained to members of the
House March 25, Rep. Loran L.
Stewart (R-Cottage Grove), chair
man, said today.
At present the revenue pro
gram does not include a sales
tax.
Salem U.R) A bill raising
the minimum salaries which
teachers may be paid in Oregon
has been passed by the House
with 16 no votes. The measure
had already passed the Senate.
The new minimums estab
lished by the bill were S3000
for teachers with a certificate
but no college degree; S3500 for
teachers with a bachelor's de
gree, and $3600 for teachers
with a master's degree.
Coos Bay Duo Free
Of Housing Charges
Portland (U.R) Orval Vo
gan, 59, of Salem, and his son,
James O. Vogan, 31, Coos Bay,
were found innocent yesterday
of violating Federal Housing
Administration regulations.
A third man similarly charged,
Mark Warrenfelt, 40, Harris
burg, Ore., was found guilty by
a federal court jury and held in
lieu of $1000 bail pending pre
sentence investigation.
The three had been accused
of presenting false papers to a
Roseburg bank in order to obtain
FHA-insured home improvement
loans.
