No ona gats it to as many areas in ess time, at ess cost Kaiser Building Work Progresses Oakland, Calif.-UPD-The fi nal structural piece of steel was bolted into place today on the huge Kaiser Center building, which will be the West's largest office building when it is completed late next year. The last beam closed a 30 foot span in the roof line, 21 stories above the ground. The mammoth structure will serve as the world head quarters of the Kaiser indus trial empire. It will be the principal building of a $45 million block-square develop ment. The headquar' 3rs building will contain a gross area of 976,000 square feet, including 802,000 square feet of usuable space enough to make it the largest office building west of the Rocky Mountains. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS About a year ago -the ad visory committee of the Ore gon Planning and Develop ment Department hired Dr. John Sly, of Princeton Uni versity, to make a study of Oregon's tax "climate." He has been working at the job ever since, and in, a progress report the other day he said: "Throughout the study, I have asked myself this ques tion: Is Oregon's tax struc ture COMPETITIVE that is, does it compare favorably with tax practices in com peting states? "I have reached this an swer: "It is NOT out of line, but it is on the HIGH side." WHY it it high? Dr. Sly answered thai question in his first report, which was issued on July 1 of this year. He says: "Oregon is known as a high level SERVICE state. As long as this is so, it will remain a high level TAX state." MAIL TRIBUNE, Msdford", Oregon, Tuesday, October 21, 1931 S Polish Cardinal Eyes Church Reform In Foreign Affairs Vatican City - (UPD - Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski, Roman Catholic primate of Poland, was expected . today to pro pose new reforms in the han dling of church foreign af fairs to combat the growing menace of Communism. , Vatican observers said Car dinal Wyszynski's desire for power to act independently in dealings with Poland's Com munist government was one of the few known conflicts facing the Cardinals who will elect a new pope at the con clave opening here Saturday. Expects Some Support The Roman cardinals, pre viously led by Pope Pius XII, insist on the Vatican's right to be the only authority in the church which can negoti ate with other governments. The Holy See never has rec ognized church-state agree ments reached between local officials and governments in Poland or elsewhere. The Polish primate was ex pected to have the support of other powerful cardinals, particularly some of the six French prelates. The late pope's rejection of the French worker priest movement in which young priests donned overalls to work among their flock in Communist - dominated facto ries still rankled with many church officials in France. Vatican observers said the greater "internationalization" of the College of Cardinals by Pope Pius XII also was ex pected to weigh in Cardinal Wyszynski's favor. Among the 52 cardinals expected to attend the conclave, non-Italians could muster the , two thirds plus one votes needed to elect a new pope if alljthe Italian cardinals voted against them. Cardinal Wyszynski, the only representative from the "church of silence" behind the Iron Curtain to attend the conclave, pleaded his case be fore Pope Pius XII himself last year, but was reported to have received a cool recep tion. It was reported that he now has circulated among the car dinals the same report on the church in' Poland that he presented to the pope last summer. It was believed the report would be discussed at the daily meetings of the cardinals, but the sessions are completely secret and no word was expected on the matter. DENIES RUMORS London - (UPD - Actress Eva Bartok says reports that she plans to wed an Indian prince are "a little premature." Prince Shiv of Palitana, 25, has been seen with the actress at London night spots re Portland Schools Study Play Needs Portland -(UPD- The Port land school board Monday night appraised its physical education program and heard a report that city schools need more swimming pools and hard-surfaced playing areas. Eldon Jenne, supervisor of physical education, said those are the greatest athletic needs in the .district. Edward J. Ry an, district athletic activities supervisor, said he believed a high school swimming pool would pay for itself and the additional teachers it would require over a 20-year period by letting the public use it on a fee basis after school hours. . Superinendent J. W. Ed wards said he was not so op timistic about repayment but agreed that pools should be included in the high school plants. Board members also heard a report that athletic pro grams cost the district $100,- 000 per year more than is re ceived through admissions paid for athletics events. Portland Woman Dies as Car Upsets Dunnisan -(UPD- Mrs. Mabel La Velle Schneller, 51, Port land, was killed Monday when a car and house trailer driven by her husband over turned on U.S. 99W. Highway patrol officers said a large passing truck ap parently caused a vacuum which caused the trailer to weave. As it rolled over, the trailer overturned the car. rpHAT is to say: - If the people of Oregon demand and RECEIVE a wide range and a large number of SERVICES from their state government, they are going to have to PAY FOR THEM. They will pay for them in the form of taxes. That is realistic reasoning. IS Dr. Sly : ight in his state ment that Oregon's tax structure compares favorably with tax practices . in com peting states? I think he is. Southern Ore. gon and Far Northern Calif ornia provide rather striking evidence of the correctness of his statement. They sit side by side. Their basic resources are quite fa miliar. They are divided by a purely imaginary line. There is wholly free choice of sites. Industries seeking lo cations, if they don't like the state, can step over the line into the other state. There has beeh little, if any, stepping over. Once located in this general area, indus tries tend to "STAY located. Southern Oregon hasn't suf fered in this free choice. That indicates rather conclusively that Oregon's tax climate is NOT unfavorable to industry. Nor has Far Northern Cal ifornia suffered. Industrial de velopment on both sides of the line is proceeding at a quite satifactory rate. CO - J I think Oregon will do well to dis climate" theory. It has 4ts at tractive angles, of course. If it were true that all Oregon needs is a better tax climate, it could fix up everything by PASSING A LAW. Passing a law is easy. Just write it on on the books and then dust off your hands and sit back in your easy chair while new industries pour in. But, Dr. Sly says, it isn't true. And his statement is borne out by experience down here on the border. STILL Oregon will do well to ponder his statement that while its basic tax structure is not out of line with com peting states it IS ON THE HIGH SIDE. It is on the high side because the people of Oregon demand and get a high level of SERVICES from their state. Services cost mon ey. They cost tax money. If that is permitted to go too far, Oregon's tax structure could get outof line with tax structures in competing states. That wouldn't be good for Oregon.
