Holmes Asks State Tax Court Bill Salem'-OIPD-Gov. Robert D. Holmes said today he had asked the State Tax Commis sion to prepare a bill for the 1959 Legislature which would provide for establishment of a state tax court. The Governor said that the Legislative Interim Tax Com mittee had decided not to rec ommend a bill for the 1959 session, but said he under stood that the committee's de cision was based on lack of time for working out techni cal details rather than opposi tion to the idea. The Governor said he fa vored the court as the best appeal procedure for tax payers.

ANDY'S BEST BUY! 1 7-jewel water & shock resistant Reg. $49.95 S&H Green Stamps ANDY'S Your Friendly Credit Jeweler 15 North Control 88 Snider Commends Allen, City for Work With Library Mayor John W. Snider this week presented a token of appreciation to Eric W. Allen Jr., for his services to the city as library board chairman for more than six years. . At the same time he ex pressed the thanks of the Medford city council for "a difficult task well done." The presentation was made at the August meeting of the library board on Tuesday. Allen was first appointed to the library board by Mayor Diamond L. Flynn in 1952, and was reappointed in 1956. While he served as chair man of its board, the library has expanded its book collec tion, increased its circulation, and initiated new services to readers throughout Jackson county, according to Libra rian Helen E. Webster. The responsibilities of library trusteeship are more com p 1 e x and time - consuming than are generally realized, she said, and are not always compatible with editorial re sponsibilities. H. Dewey Wilson, appoint ed by Mayor Snider to suc ceed Allen on the board, and Mrs. Moore Hamilton, who will fulfill the term of El wood Heclberg, who has mov ed to Portland, were intro duced at the Tuesday meet ing. Mrs. Leland Mentzer was elected chairmaij of the board and W. E. Thomas has agreed to serve as its treasurer. An item of agenda for the meeting was examination of a contract proposed by the county court for continuation of the Medford Public libra ry's service as Jackson Coun ty library. Roy Bashaw, Medford city attorney, was present to as s i s t. Further consideration will be given to the proposals by members of the committee in the hear future, it was decided. Ike Signs Bill For Lower Supports Washington -v(UPD - Presi dent Eisenhower today signed a bill providing lower price supports and greater planting freedom for farmers. The new law, enacted by a Democratic controlled Con gress, embraces much of the controversial farm policy recommendation of Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Ben son. It would permit lower price supports for corn next year and for cotton and rice, start ing in 1961. The new mini mum price floor for these three crops would be 65 per cent of parity. Supports now range from 75 to 90 per cent of parity, depending on sup plies. The legislation also staves off scheduled sharp cutbacks in planting minimum allot ments of 16 million acres for cotton and 1,600,000 for rice. Sarasota, Fla..
