47 Bills From Committee on Taxation
Placed Before Oregon Representatives
Salem 'U.R) Forty-seven
bills from the Committee on
Taxation were introduced in the
Oregon House of Representa
tives Thursday all but three of
them at the request of the State
Tax Commission.
Most of them dealt with
changes in procedure and ad
ministration of property and in
come tax laws.
They brought the total of bills
introduced to 243.
One important bill would give
upervisory powers to the State
Tax Commission over any state,
county or municipal officer per
forming tax assessment, collec
tion or apportionment duties.
Included would be county sher
iffs, county tax supervision and
conservation commission.
Bills Defined
Another bill would establish
tax supervising and conservation
commissions in all counties, in
addition to the present Multno
mah county commission. They
would be under the general sup
ervision of the State Tax Com
mission. Power to request statements
of taxable individuals or corpor
ations in addition to statements
made to county assessors would
be granted in another bill.
Other tax bills would re-define
the formula for sharing
costs by the counties of State
Tax Commission appraisal ser
vices so that each county would
pay one-half the cost; re-define
merchantable timber for tax pur
poses, and change inventory law
to permit determination of stock
at the close of 12 regular periods
rather than at the end of each
month.
Federal Plan Eyed
Changes in income tax law
would provide a graduated meth
od of computing tax withhold
ings approximating liability simi
lar to the federal withholding
plan; eliminate flexible hardship
exemption provisions; and en
able a dependent 19 or younger
to earn up to 51,000 before los
ing his dependency status.
Thirty-five bills embodying
programs of the Interim Com
mittee on Education and the
State Highway Commission were
introduced Wednesday.
Main education bill would in
crease basic school support from
S80 to $120 per census child as
advocated by Gov. Robert D.
Holmes.
Several education bills related
to a comprehensive plan for re
organization of school districts.
People Would Vote
Under the re-organization bills,
school boards of all classes in a
county would get together and
elect a committee of nine mem
bers to plan county-wide school
administration.
The committee also could ad
just bonded indebtedness be
tween districts that would be
included in proposed new school
zones.
Plans for new districts, in ac
cordance with State Board of
Education standards, would then
be submitted to a vote of the
people.
Highway bills introduced at
the request of the State Highway
Commission would provide,
among other things, for an $8
million bond issue to enable Ore
gon to participate fully in the
federal interstate highway program.
Lions Club, Largest Organization of
Service Clubs, Observes 40th Birthday
State Unemployment
Highest in Nation
Salem (U.R) Oregon's unem
ployment rate was the highest
in the nation during December
with 10.8 per cent of workers
covered by unemployment com
pensation out of jobs.
The State Unemployment
Compensation Commission said
the situation was not too un
usual because of many seasonal
layoffs. In recent years the fig
ure has risen to 12 per cent in
December.
About half the 51.500 unem
ployed workers were in the lum
ber industry.
Some 488.100 persons were
working at non-farm jobs in De
cember. This was 9,700 more
than a year previously.
Chicago (U.R) The Lions
Club movement is 40 years old
this year. It started with a man
who had an idea.
The man was Melvin Jones, 78,
founder of the Lions and now
secretary-general of the organ
ization. 1
His idea was that men who
work together on civic or charit
able projects not only serve
their communities but become
better friends.
It must have been a sound
idea because the Lions, one of
the youngest of the service clubs,
has become the largest. It now
has 541.136 members and 12,
7f0 clubs in 77 countries.
'"By serving others you build
yourself," Jones likes to say.
Jones, white-haired but active
can't begin to estimate the num
ber of Lions Club luncheons and
dinner's he's attended.
"One thing about it," he said.
"In addition to helping the
blind, the crippled children and
a lot of other worthwhile under
takings, the Lions always seem
to have fun, too."
It wasn't always thus with
businessmen's clubs. In 1947,
Jones was a new member of the
business circle of Chicago. At
tendance was desultory, meet
ings dull.
Meet To Adjourn
The members debated whether
to adjourn each year for six
months, from May to October.
"If we can't stand the sight
of one another for six months
of the year then I can't see any
reason why we should be clubby
for the other, six," Jones told
the members.
Miffed at the upstart, the old
er members elected him secre
tary. Shorty afterward, Jones pro
posed a new national organiza
tion, taking in independent clubs
and chartering new ones. Thus,
the Lions movement was born.
In those days most of the ser
vice clubs were business ex
change" organizations, in which
the members were supposed to
trade with each other to help
their own business.
"But our constitution says no
club-shall hold as an object the
financial gain of its members,"
Jones said.
Actor Loses Temper
In Tractor Incident
Hollywood (U.R) Actor
Michael O'Shea has been fined
S250 and given a 30 day sus
pended jail sentence for firing a
rifle at a neighbor's tractor
when his Irish temper exploded
last Nov. 7.
The actor also -was placed on
three years probation Thursday
by Municipal Judge Parks Still
well and warned that he might
go to jail if he used firearms
again to settle disputes with his
neighbors.
O'Shea, husband of actress
Virgina Mayo, admitted he fired
a .22 caliber rifle at the tractor's
rear tires while it was being
operated by his neighbor's son,
Richard Morrison, 13. But the
actor claimed he took the action
because the boy had' been racing
the tractor on the property and
endangering the life of the
O'Sheas' daughter, Mary Cath
erine, 3.
Federal Grand Jury
Indicts Willamette Man
Portland (U.R) A federal
grand jury indictment charging
bank robbery was returned here
yesterday against Ross Neal Por
ter, 37-year-old Willamette up
holsterer. The charge stems from
the mid-day holdup of the Sher
wood branch of the U.S. Nation
al bank earlier this month.
FBI agents, arrested Porter
last week.
One major purpose of the org
anization is to provide a forum
for public discussion of all mat
ters of public interest, "partisan
politics and sectarian, religion
alone excepted." :
The Lions went international
early, Jones recalled. In 1920
there was an element which op
posed chartering foreign clubs.
But the movement spread from
Detroit to Windsor,- Ont., just
across the river, and then to
Toronto.
"At the convention that year
some of the fellows who opposed
the idea found out that the Can
adian 'foreigners' weren't so
bad," Jones said.
"We set up a foreign relations
committee and began chartering
clubs in other countries. We sort
of figured that maybe ' if you
knew the other fellow, you and
he wouldn't be shooting at each
other,"
In the last few months, he
said. Lions Clubs throughout the
U.S. have contributed $70,000
for Hungarian relief.

Can you find the "guarantee"
in this picture?
You buy a refrigerator only two or three time
in your lifetime.
Yet you don't hesitate to buy one without
getting so much as a look at the intricate "works"
that makes it run.
How do you dare make such an important
purchase without having an expert check it over
for you? What makes you so sure you're getting
your money's worth when you say, "I'll take
that one"?
The answers obvious. You look for the brand
name on the refrigerator your "guarantee."
You've learned to follow this first rule of safe
and sound buying:
A good brand is your best guarantee
Ho matter what kind of product you want to
buy, you know a good brand won't let you down.
You know the maker stands back of it guar
antees it. And so, when you buy a good brand
you know you're right
Read this newspaper to find out which are
the good brands (and the stores that sell them.)
The more good brands you know, the surer you
are about all your shopping.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE riVE
Tax Return Must Be
Filed for Farmers
Farm operators who have any
farm hand as much at $100 in
cash wages during 1956 must
file an employers' tax return for
agricultural employees, W. V.
Nusbaum, manager of the Med
ford district office of the social
security administration remind
ed residents today.
The return should be filed
with the district director of in
ternal revenue, by Jan. 31, along
with the social security taxes
on the wages reported. The re
turn must show the name, social
security number, and wages paid
to each employee whose cash
wages in 1956 amounted to $100
or more.
Beginning with 1957, a farm
operator is required to report
the wages of every farm em
ployee to whom he pays $150
or more cash wages during 1957
or who works for him on 20 or
more days during 1957 on a time
basis, regardless of the total
cash wages paid. The total num
ber of days worked and the man
ner of figuring the pay do not
matter if the worker meets the
$150-a-year test, Nusbaum said.
