Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Prest Fa tar Writer Washington (U.R) The dollar watch us old coots once sported in the bib-pocket of our overalls still is on the market. Only now it costs $2.95 for the white face, and $3.95 for a black face. The Inger soll every old timer rememb ers has been revived, and Karman fticiiols you can not blame the up in price entirely on rising costs. The 1955 model, on display at the American Watch and Clock markets ex hibit here in the Department of Commerce building, has some thing added. A sweep second hand. The modern version, accord ing to the United States Time Corp. of Waterbury, Conn., has 100 separate parts made in near ly 2000 operations. Before the watch goes into your watch .pocket, some 3000 inspections are made. Salesman Ingersoll As a matter of fact, Robert Ingersoll never made a watch in his life. He had the idea and the Waterbury folks made his watches and put his name on them. Robert did the selling. In the old days a worker got 60 cents an hour for making a watch. The old time piece was billed as the "watch that made the dollar famous." We don't have a three or four-dollar bill today, so the slogan has been discarded. One of the attractions of the exhibit by the watch and clock makers is Princess Little Thun der of the Chippewa Indian tribe of North Dakota. The prin cess, one of eight children, lives on a reservation near Rolla, N. D. When she arrived here ,she was leaving her home locality for the first time. The 5-foot, dark-eyed , Indian beauty is one of the precision workers at a jewel bearing plant in Rolla. "It is easy work," Princess Little Thunder said. "After you work with the jewels for a while, you don't have to use a microscope or magnifying glass. Doing what you have to do comes instinctively. And if you watch what you are doing, you don't make many mistakes." At the Turtle Mountain Ord nance plant, operated by the Bulova people, who do it for Uncle Sam for $1 a year, the princess works with a jewel bearing made of synthetic ruby. It has a diameter of 0.0394, near three ten-thousandths of an inch. The hole she must , make with a high carbon, tungsten steel drill has a diameter of 0.000177 inches. Bills in Legislature Salem (U.R) Ren. Waltpr Pearson (D-Portland) has sug gested that the legislative "take the bull by the horns" and set up a special election to allow the people to decide on either a sales tax or a universal income tax. Pearson, a member of the House Tax Committee, said the election would provide alterna tives if the present "stop gap" proposals are referred. Rep. Loran Stewart (R-Cottage Grove), committee chairman, admitted the income tax in crease passed by the House was a "stop gap" proposal,, and that additional sources of income would have to be found in two years. The Oregon Tax Commission ' estimated the needs for the 1957 59 biennium would be $230, 000,000, or a $37,800,000 in crease over the 1955-57 needs for which revenues would have to be found. ; The commission said a three per cent sales tax, from which food was exempt, would raise $90,000,000. No action was taken by the committee. Salem (U.R) A substitute bill relating to taxes against water transportation companies has been introduced by the House Taxation Committee to exempt property of firms en gaged in high seas traffic. The substitute bill was intro duced to meet the objections of the Dort of The Dalles and othpr Columbia river shipping points who feared the state s present tax structure for barge and boat lines would drive such business out of the state. Salem (U.R) The House and Senate joint Ways and Means Committee has turned down a proposed $130,000 budget for the Oregon Development Com mission. - The vote was 7-7. meaning the budget failed to win the neces sary majority. Defeat of the Hevplnnmpnt commission's budget spelled an end to the two-year-old aeencv.' which was formed to attract new industry to Oregon. THAW : i. NOW I ENRICHED!
