Holmes Tells Income Tax Stand; Smith Will Urqe Surtax Repeal Corvallis 'UR; Gov. Elmo Smith and State Sen. Robert Holmes met Saturday on the same platform for the first time in their campaign for the governorship. Both spoke at a luncheon meeting here of the Benton county League of Women vot ers. The meeting failed to gen erate any words between the candidates. State Sen. Francis Siegler told Holmes that he took excep tion to his insinuation that Re publican senators did not work as hard as they should have during sessions of the leisla ture. Objected To Altitude Holmes said he did not in tend to make such a reflection on any of the senators. What he objected to in the Republicans. he said was their "attitude of delay and their obstructionism to new ideas." Rep. Wayne Ciesy said that Holmes by his statements, was against the surtax and against the sales tax. "Just what group are you going to tax," Geisy asked. Holmes agreed that he op poses both forms of taxation and "what's more," he said, "I licve the income tax dependency exemption should be raised." He said the entire income tax, in cluding the corporate tax should be regarded. He said he also favored Gov. Smith's suggestion that the full amount of the income tax should be withheld from the salaries in stead of the taxpayer having to dig deeper at tax paying times. Both Stand on Record Both declared they would stand on the record they had chalked up since they went into the state Legislature. They call ed on the people to examine the record. Gov. Smith said he recognized the injustice "of the surtax on the state income tax and I will recommend its repeal." The governor reviewed a few of the accomplishments of his administration, since he became chief executive early this year. He mentioned reorganization of the State Liquor Control Com mission and its program of law enforcement.

Fenner & Beane. Holmes said he thought the last budget was "inadequate" and said he was upheld when the State Emergency Board had to appropriate more money to re tain the teachers. Gov. Smith said the state was going to have to meet its edu cational obligations. The pro posed budget, he said, might have to be trimmed, but he said it would get a close study and probably would not be trimmed to any great extent.

The toxic contents of the body were re moved for 63 hours when the patient died suddenly of a heart ailment.
