14 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, December 28, 1958 Excise Tax Changes to Become Effective Jan. 1 Portland January 1 is the effective date of several pro visions of the recently enacted excise tax technical changes act of 1958, according to Ralph C. Granquist, district director of the Internal Reve nue Service for Oregon. The new law contains im portant provisions covering excise taxes on jewelry, lug gage, clocks and watches, life membership club dues, admis sions and cabarets. It lists in full the specific articles taxable, as luggage and jewelry, in place of par tial listings in the old law. The rate on these articles will remain at 10 per cent. Life members of social, ath letic, sporting clubs or other organizations will have a choice of paying a one-time 20 per cent on the full amount paid for the membership, or of Bateman Honored By National Guard Charles Bateman, operator of the Richfield cafe, North Pacific highway, has been named honorary mess steward of headquarters and head quarters and headquarters company, first battalion, 186th infantry division, according to Capt. Sebastiano J. Fagone, commanding officer. Bateman was given the hon or in "sincere appreciation of his devotion to the National Guard," Capt. Fagone stated. The cafe owner helped the local guard on three occasions this year. He fed members of the Army Presidio basketball team from San Francisco whea they visited Medford early this year and were not authorized money for their meals. Another time, during the first battalion .45 pistol team match at Camp White, Bate man sent food and coffee for members of the teams from Cottage Grove, Roseburg, Grants Pass and Medford. A third instance when he helped to host visitors was Dec. 14 when he provided breakfast for 50 men on an alert at 5:15 a.m. Fagone said "we of head quarters company cannot re pay the sincerity of this in dividual's efforts to assist the unit in its role of citizen soldier." paying an annual tax equal to the tax paid by members hav ing privileges equal to those of life members. Sales of watches and clocks are affected by the new law in that it provides statutory authority for certain exemp tions from tax. The tax rate on general ad missions continues to be one per cent for each 10 cents. After Jan. 1, however, the iirst $1 charged will be ex empt from tax. So-called "milk bars" which sell light refreshments and provide space for dancing will not be liable for the 20 per cent cabaret tax starting Jan. 1, provided certain provisions are met.
