This view was voiced by Ted Phillips, Medford lawyer, in an address Tuesday before the Medford Rotary club. Speaking at a luncheon meeting at the Rogue Valley Country club, Phillips pointed out that the greatest growth in this state within the next few years would occur in western Oregon and this would result in greater in equities under the proposed apportionment plan. Phillips urged the status quo, established by constitu tional amendment in Oregon's legislature in 1952. The change in many states from rural to urban and in dustrial societies has present ed the apportionment problem in many areas. Here in Ore gon, the present system is con sidered a model for fair and equitable representation, he said. It is a mathematical possi bility for a handful of coun ties to control the state, Phil lips claimed. Under ballot Measure 9 the state legisla ture would be much less re sponsive to public wishes and needs, he emphasized. Some of the speaker's crit icism of the proposed legisla tion on apportionment was di rected to the length and ai biguous language of the bill Your Money's Worth By SYLVIA PORTER Copyright.

II i Wv'kr' Sir,7 at 1 ' T-Bonc THE NEW TAX LAWS' MEANING TO YOU VI EXPENSE ACCOUNT CRACKDOWN Expense account living will lose a large part of its tax attraction beginning next year, and millions of us are going to feel this in the pocketbook. For the new Revenue Act of 1962 cuts down on the types of deductible expense account outlays and also sets up far tougher rules for proving those expenses which are deduct ible. Hit by new limits which easily can bar many deductions which have been permitted until now will be entertainment expenses, business gifts, entertainment facilities such as golf clubs and boats, combined business-pleasure trips. Sharply curtailed will be our privilege of deducting a "reasonable estimate" of our expenses. In this and tomorrow's column, you'll find important guides. Entertainment expenses. Up to now, any ordinary and necessary entertainment expense in business has been de ductible. Starting in 1963, these expenses will be deductible only if (1) "directly related to" your business or (2) "asso ciated with" your business if the entertainment is directly before or after a substantial and bona fide business discus sion." The Treasury plans to interpret these very general words in the new law with specific, practical rules by the end of this year. But here are some rules of thumb which can guide you right now in making your expense account plans. If you can time your entertainment directly before or after a business discussion do so, because the "associated with" test is more liberal than the "directly related to" test. For instance, you can deduct the cost of entertaining your customer and his wife at a restaurant, theatre, concert or sporting event immediately after or before a substantial busi ness discussion with him, even though you don't expect any business from him to result at once and even though his wife has nothing to do with the business. Nevertheless, you pass the "associated with" deduction test. But if you entertain the same customer and his wife with out discussing business with him directly before or after the theatre, night club, other entertainment, you come under the "directly related to" test. Then your deduction can be out if you're only entertaining to keep the customer's good will and not to get an immediate order. Eliminated under this test would be the expenses for the customer's wife. And if the entertainment is in a large, noisy group, this alone may bar the deduction under the "directly related to test. One common entertainment expense which will continue to be deductible under the old rules is the ordinary business lunch or dinner in a restaurant or hotel. As long as the food and beverages are served under "conditions conducive to a business discussion," you may deduct the cost, even if you don't actually discuss business. But you can't use this ex ception to deduct the cost of "reciprocity" luncheons whereby a group of you merely take turns picking up the checks for the group so that you all can deduct your meal expenses. Another significant exception to the new, tougher tests is a "hospitality room" at a convention. You can promote good will by a display or discussion ol your products in such a room even if you're not looking for immediate or ders, even if the room is noisy and even if you aren't there yoursell. Note with care that any ' lavish or extravagant" enter tainment expenses may be considered by the Treasury to flunk both of the new tests. Go easy on the size ot your outlays. Business gilts. These will be limited to $25 a year for each donee from 1963 on. For instance, if you give each of your customers or clients a $100 watch as a business gift, you'll be able to deduct only $25 for each gill, instead of $100. If you plan to make sizable business gifts, do so this year while the full amount is still deductible, instead of waiting until next year when the limit goes on.

Shotgun Damage To Telephone Line Is Almost Non-Existent Pacific Northwest Bell re ports that gunshot damage by hunters so far this season is almost non-existent. The com pany has had little of the trou ble that plagued it a few years ago, a spokesman said. Last year a dozen cases of damage to wires, cables and other equipment were caused by youths with .22 caliber ri fles. These occurred during the summer and in the fall before the hunting season opened. The pattern has been the same in 1962. The phone company is pleased to relate the increas ing responsibility shown by hunters and hopes that their example will influence young er shooters.

He told the Florida Pollu tion Control association and the Florida section of the American Waterworks associ-, ation that less than one bil lionth of the weight of any given amount of fallout can be attributed to radioactive elements. He said that alter the soft ener or dirt is added to the water. It may be strained through a paper napkin or a fine piece of cloth and be ready for drinking.
