Western Oregon Timber Tax Plan Lands in House Salem - IUPD - An Industrial Forestry Association plan for timber tax in Western Oregon has landed in the house, bear ing the signatures of 35 repre enatives - four more than a majority. . In spite of this support, the bill is expected to run into im : mediate trouble in Rep. Rich ard Eymann's Tax Committee. Eymann (D-Mohawk) was sec retary to the Interim Tax Committee which has en dorsed an entirely different plan. Only two members of the tax committee sponsored the IFA bill. If the committee re fused to release the bill, a two third vote would be needed to bring it to the floor. Basic Value Tax The plan calls for a basic value tax on western timber, with an added tax on cut tim ber in the year it is harvested. In an effort to let old trees stand until younger stands can grow to replace them, slower timber cutters in old growth stands would receive a lower tax. The bill is a companion to another measure with a dif ferent plan for taxing Eastern Oregon trees. Eastern timber operators have asked for a harvest tax, or levy to be placed on timber as it is cut. Since there would be no tax on standing trees, the tax would be proportion ately heavier on cut timber than in Western Oregon. Measure Restricts Time for Elections Salem - IBM) - A bill has been introduced by Sen. Ver non Cook (D-Troutdale) and Reps. Beulah Hand (D-Milwau-kie) and Sid Leiken (D-Rose-burg) which would require all elections in Oregon to be held at the same time as the pri mary or the general election. The bill was 184 pages long. It would affect all school district, water district and other .elections now held at various times of the year. The bill, SB353, would ac complish this by standardizing rules of all such elections. - A similar bill passed the House in 1059 but died In the Senate.

A bill in the house of Reps. Ben Evick (D Madras) and Kcssler Cannon (R - Bend) would provide the money for such schools on the junior col lege level in Coos, Deschutes, Multomah and Clatsop coun ties. The measure is HB1433. A companion measure, SB347, was introduced by Sen. Boyd Overhulse (D - Madras).

The figure is now 100,000 but Overhulse would lower this to 40,000. As for financing, he said "I doubt if we'll get 100 per cent financing by the state. But that's.what we'll try for." Students would be charged tuition, otherwise, the state would pick up all costs under his proposal. At present the costs must be carried at the local level.

Many mothers ask why Junior keeps blinking his eyes, and what can be done about it. I imagine the lad has in herited from some of his an cestors much nervousness. I remember one such case in which a blink ing boy was brought in by his nervous and fidgety moth er. What interested me most was that the mother's sister, who had come along with them, was a constant sniffer. As I, watched her sniffing away every minute, I had a good idea where the boy had gotten his tendency to blink his eyes. I doubt if, in these cases, it does much good to fuss at the boy. I might remark to him occasionally that it would be an advantage to him in his further action has been block ed by taxpayer suits asking that the boundaries be voided.

This happened in about one in 100 deliveries in the Women's Hospital in New Zealand. Because, in these cases, the child has to come through his afterbirth, naturally, the usual type of delivery must be very danger ous, both to the mother and to the child. Transfusions were required in 49 per cent of the cases in which the child was born in the usual way. A cesarian section was perform ed in 81 per cent of the cases, and that is the logical way out of the difficulty.

BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York - IUPD - Too many people are confused and ill informed about financial in stitutions i n general and banks in par 1 1 c u 1 a r, ac cording to the American Bankers As sociation. More than half of the people i n lot- aenry Beentold viewed in a recent study by the ABA had fuzzy or erroneous ideas about the common type of financial institution - the commercial bank - and 7 out of 10 were unaware of certain basic dif ferences between banks and savings and loan associations. To help fill this knowledge gap the ABA has prepared a factual roundup to help peo ple make the right choice and the best use of financial services. Of the 14,000 banks in the United States, commercial and mutual savings are the two main types. Commercial banks are cor porations owned by stockhold ers which serve the public by providing a complete range of banking and financial serv ices to meet the needs of in dividuals, business conce l 5 and the community. Mutual savings banks are specialized banking i n stitu tions that are owned by their depositors and administered by trustees. , The principal .

Trust Companies In addition, (here also are trust companies - corporations which specialize in adminis tering estates and trusts and other, funds such as pensions and endowments. Outside this bank category there are more than 6,000 savings and loan associations and building and loan associ ations. They are mutual co operative share account insti tutions which have a special purpose to promote thrift through investment in shares and to make funds available for home building and buying. A relative youngster in the financial field is the credit union, of which there now are more than 19,000 spread throughout the country. They also are cooperative mutual societies organized among em ployees in industries, or by occupational groups such as school teachers, which ac cumulate thrift funds and make loans to members. Safety is a big factor to consider in deciding where to put your money. Accounts are insured up to $10,000 in nearly all banks through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and in loan associations through the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp. or state insurance plans.

TODAYl COMPANY "Medford'! Leading Appliance Dealer for the Past 30 F.S.L.I.C. Insurance plans usually display appropriate signs. Convenience Considered How much banks and other institutions can pay for the use of your money depends on how much they can earn from investing it. This in part depends on the govern ment regulations under which they operate. Also to be considered is the matter of convenience - such things as hours open, drive-in and curb-stone - teller accom modations, and facilities for banking by mail. The ABA said you will just have to scout around to find the par ticular institution that's easiest for you to use, since banks and savings and loan associations differ as much among themselves as they do with each other. Determining whether a par ticular financial institution is a commercial bank, savings bank or savings and loan as sociation is not too difficult. Those easiest to identify -savings banks, trust com panies and credit unions - are so described in their titles. The savings and loan as sociations somotlmes go by the name of buildine and loan associations, cooperative banks, savings associations or societies, and savings and loan societies. As for commercial banks, only a few have the word "commercial" in their name. The word "national" must ap pear in the title of each na tional bank, and in the case of Only Frigidaire offers Automatie Soak Cycle in a budget-priced . washer!
