the bank tax bill and the local
budget bill. It tabled a bill
that would have put a partial
property tax on non - profit
fraternal and social groups.
The income and cigarette
tax measures arc the commit
tee's big revenue-raising pack
age. The former is designed to
provide $35 million in new
revenues and the latter 315
million.
The cigarette tax was re
jected once by the House, but
grabbed back by the commit
tee to wait for the rest of
the package. If it fails again,
rates in the income tax bill
could be raised to make up
the difference.
The income tax bill
poses two kinds of tax. One
Is a net tax for all earning
above 3300, In order to pick
up new low-bracket taxpay
ers. The other is a graduated
tax, with deductions and de
pendents taken into account.
A key revenue-raising fea
ture is elimination of the de
duction for the federal income
tax. Other deductions, how
ever, arc retained, and the
standard deduction is doubled
from 5 to 10 per cent to avoid
much long form filing.
Instead of exemptions, the
bill would grant credits
against the final tax bill.
The cigarette tax bill calls
for a 4-cent a pack tax.
The bank tax bill redefines
financial institutions in order
to tax banks at 9 per cent. It
is retroactive to 1957 to vali
date taxes the banks have
paid under protest.
The local budget bill, sub
ject of many hours of work,
revamps local budgeting pro
cedures
As for taxing non-profit
groups, the committee earlier
bowed to church and hospital
pressures and deleted them
from the bill. Fraternal and
social groups demanded the
same treatment. Most commit
tee members agreed the mat
ter should be the subject of
an interim study.

BURIAL POLICY
Rejection of
Commission Plan
Salem - tUPli - The House
and Senate Committees on
constitutional revision hit an
impasse Tuesday on the
charged issue of legislative ap
portionment, Both voted to reject the
new plan proposed by the
Commission on Constitutional
Revision, which would have
brought Oregon closer than
ever to "one man, one vote."
Then the committees con
sidered the more moderate
plan advocated by Rep Staf
ford Hansell, (R-Hermiston).
The senate committee vot
ed 7-2 in favor of the Hansell
plan. The House committee
rejected it 4-5.
Alternatives Left
The deadlock left the com
mittees with these probable
alternatives:
- The House could recon
sider and go along with the
Senate on the Hansell plan.
- The Senate could recon
sider, perhaps finding a com
mon ground with the House
In Oregon's present plan.
-The proposed new consti
tution could go to the floor
without agreement between
the two committees on a plan
for handing out legislative
seats, leaving the question to
be ironed out if the document
gets by the House.
Oregon presently is first in
the nation in allocating legis
lative seats on a population
basis. The maximum possible
disparity in voter strength is
3-1.
The new proposal would
have reduced the maximum
disparity to 2-1.
under the Hansen plan,
however, it would be possible
in some circumstances for one
senator or representative to
represent more than three
times the population of another.
Document Threatened
Sen. Anthony Yturri (R-
Ontario), who moved for the
Hansell plan, said unless an
acceptable plan were found
he and many others would try
to defeat the new constitution
on that one issue.
"The very least we should
do is leave the language ex
actly as it Is in the present
constitution," he said.
It was noted the committees
could send a separate alterna
tive to the people outside the
proposal contained in a new
document.
The committees agreed on
another proposal: To remove
the prohibition against lot
teries from the constitution
and put it into the statutes.
Sen. Thomas Mahoney (D
Portland) said it was ridicu
lous to have a ban on lotteries
in the constitution when Ore
gon permits gambling in the
form of horse and dog race
belting.
The committees decided the
proposed constitution lets the
slate lease offshore lands for
extraction of minerals with
out any change needed in the
language.
Salem - HP!' - Ways and

Light Plane Forced
Down in Sagebrush
Ontario, Ore. -il'PIi- A light
plane was forced to land in
sagebrush north of here Tues
day night but three members
of a Boise family escaped
injury.
Pilot Price Bruner, 40, said
he had to put the four-place
ship down in the sagebrush
about a mile north of the On

quit. With him were his wife,
Etta Mae, 40, and their son,
Robert, 10.
The three walked to a road

at Salem. Neither is full.
The university wants to keep
its TB teaching beds. On the
other hand, it also wants more
teaching beds in other fields.
Ways and Means would like
to cut the cost of a "split op
eration." Slate Finance Director
Freeman Holmer said con
solidating TB cases at Salem
- and giving the university
40 more teaching beds in
place of the TB beds at Port
land - would still save Slj
416. Witnesses and committee
members made these observa
tions: Dr. Lawrence M. Lowell,
chest surgeon and spokesman
for the Multnomah County
Medical Society: the most TB
patients, and the best treat
ment, arc in the Portland area.
The university hospital has
had "a number of firsts."
Rep. John Mosscr (R-Beav-erton):
We are not challenging
belter TB care, but we are
dealing in dollars. The ques
tion is whether we can use
dollars better for humanity
one way or another.
Dr. Ambrose Churchill, TB
control director. State Bo.ird
of Health: Oregon has a
chance to make real history if
it pumps savings back into
TB control. Uncertainty is de
moralizing the Salem hospital
staff. There cannot be two
classes of treatment, one in
Portland, one in Salem.
Rep. Ross Morgan iD-Grcsh
' am): The problem is we have
t a S3 million hospital in Salem
tht is "an awful waste the
way it is." Perhaps its patients
could be transferred to Port
land and it could be put to
another use.
Holmer: While a transfer ot
i patients to Salem has some
i medical disadvantages, it i3
; one of the least expensive
ways of providing teaching
i beds.
The legislators made no de
I cision.
Teaching Machines
Are Highly Touted
Stanford, Calif. - IUPD - The
flexibility of teaching ma
chines makes it possible to
teach by multiple choice, true
or false methods and by
discovery. The latter's a high
ly touted teaching principle.
Dr. Wilbur Schramm, di
rector of Stanford university's
institute for communication
research, said this is a find
ing of great importance "for
it points to the possibility of
multiplying the efforts of the
gifted teachers, extending
their influence beyond their
physical presence and avail
able hours."
