NON-WORK 'OCCUPATION' SOARING
(This Is the first In a scries of two articles)
Non-work Is soaring as an "occupuliun" in the United Stales,
today ranks unchallenged at the top of the fastest growing sources
of our personal income.
Right now, pay for non-work accounts for more than $100 bil
lion a year, or over one-fiflli of our total personal income. This
huge chunk is going to Americans who are not directly working
for the money through jobs, businesses or professions.
Right now, our non-work population is a lowering 7.3 million,
triple the number in 1949, up one-third Just since 19511. This is a
much larger percentage increaso than the rise in our overall
population and these non-workers are not willingly unemployed,
not students, not the old and disabled. Rather, they nrc healthy
or comparatively healthy Americans over 14 years of age who
are not working, not seeking work, not going to school, not keep
ing house, and of the total Iwo million arc under 05.
Right now the non-worker represents n major and growing
problem in our country, just because he has so much leisure
lime and he doesn't know how to use II for his own satisfaction
and his community's enrichment.
At the same time, he represents a largely untapped market
fur Imaginative manufacturers ami marketing men. His Inlying
power remains fairly stable through preiocls of prosperity and
recession. He Is usually an 11 11 In inn lie and Immediate spender
ot his cnllre Income. He Is a made-In-order market for small
apartments t nd homes, for thousands ol ordinary consumer and
lelsiiiC'lliiic products, for hundred of services.
The money paid in (his country lor non-work has been climbing
dramatically in recent years and the pace of rise is still quick
ening. Just consider what non-work "earned" in 19H2 (and when
Ihe figures for 1903 are in, they'll show increases In every cate
gory): Dividend cheeks: $10.0 billion, up 114 per cent from 1952.
Interest: $:io billion, up Mil per cent from to years ago.
Rent: $12 billion, up lR per cent from 1952.
Social security and veterans' benefits, state unemployment
insurance, federal pensions, mustering-oiil allowances, military
Insurance payments, similar nun-work payments: $35 billion, up
104 per cent In just 10 years.
In addition, a whopping $9 billion went out in life insurance
payments last year and $1 billion to $1.5 billion went out in pri
vate pension benefits, also all-time high totals.
It comes lo $103 billion and even this isn't the whole story.
An impressive percentage of Inst year's $50 billion in business,
professional and farm income was a return on capital invest
ment which means Ihe money, not the individual, was working.
Of course, Ihe biggest proportion of personal incomes in our
country represents wages and
resents payments to individual businessmen, professionals, other
self-employed.
Rut the significant fact Is that the neriipallnn of non-work Is
taking an Increasing share. While wages mid salaries have
risen 01 per cent since 11152, social security payments alone
have Jumped 550 per cent. No other percentage Income In
crease even comes close lo this and Ihe trend remains strongly
upward. Rrcord numbers are becoming eligible for social
security benefits year alter year. Increasing numbers of men
and women arc leaving Ihe work force at the first eligible
social security retirement date ami more and more arc bow
ing out at 65.
Businessmen arc starting to
work population and us huge,
They are groping toward proer ways to handle this market,
learning from their own mistakes.
But few, even among Iho most sympathetic and informed,
yet grasp the scope of a key problem of the middle-class non
worker which blunlly Is how
time gracefully. Ihe next column will explore one solution
ciadlc-to-gravc education.

Class in Culture
Scheduled at SOC
ASHLAND - "History of His

winter term al Southern Oregon
College.
Dr. Alva W. Graham, profes
sor of education and social
science, who was recently an
education advisor to the govern
ments of Bolivia and Guate
mala, will leach the class.
The experimental nature of
the course stems from Ihe use
of a thematic approach and the
opportunity available to each
student lo explore in depth an
aspect of vulture or history or
a problem which interests him
most. Oilier tilings included in
the class will be resource per
sons, exhibits or art, listening lo
music, viewing slides and mo

Dr. Graham said he hopes I hp
course will enhance appreciation
of Latin American cultures and
enable people to better under

in the basement of his flat off Second Avenue in New
York. The play was "Quo Vadis Upside Down," a travesty
written by Harpo s uncle,
Al Shean (of Gallagher

It appears that there
was a mouse plague in
the neighborhood, and
store - proprietors were
paying a penny apiece for
cats. So Harpo (aged 12)
and an older brother
named Grnucho decided
to cash in on the demand,
Harpo recalls that the

Oregon Legislature by State
Legislature by State Rcprc
Representative .lames A. Red
den, Mcdford.)
By JAMES A. REDDEN
The special session called by
the Governor following the Oct.
15 special election was, at the
time, for the stated purpose
"solving" the State's financial
crisis which had resulted from
the defeat of Measure No.. 1 at
the polls.
The Governor, in his address
to a joint session, asked for
authority to cut budgets, sought
the speed-up plan on employer's
withholdings and asked that no
new taxes be proposed.
In his opening address to the
session on Nov. 11, he asked that
no legislation, not dealing di
rectly with the financial crisis,
be proposed or passed. Before
the session was a week old, how
ever, the Governor himself was
asking for further appropriations
for the Boardman-Boeing pro
ect.
Generally, the following is
what the Legislature accom
plished, and what they tried to
Cross, with Mrs. T. C. Groomes
ers, music and Santa Claus.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars
and Auxiliary will present a
fruit basket to each member at

Suspect Enters
Plea of Innocent
PORTLAND (UPD - Robert
Evans, 27, Honolulu, pleaded in
nocent to a charge of first de
gree murder for the second time
in Circuit Court here Tuesday.
The plea was necessary be
cause Evans was reindicted by
the Multnomah County Grand
Jury last month to make the
murder charge against him
more specific.
Evans is charged with the
strangulation slaying of Idaho
cattle heiress Irene Davis, 41,
Payette. Her body was found in
a room at the Portland Hilton
Hotel last August.
Evans later was arrested at
Fremont, Neb.
No trial date has been sched

was held to have no legal
authority to cut basic school
. : t U - I ISplnli.,..
sujjpun w I 1 11 u u 1 legislative j
aumoniy. Because uasic scuuui
support represented such a large
percentage ot tne 1903 Budget,
it was felt by the Governor, as
well as the Legislature that this
authority should be granted.
Legislation authorizing this pass
ed both the House and the Sen
ate.
A part of this authorization
also authorized the Governor to
act in the restoration of budgets
in the event unanticipated reve
nues, due to economic growth,
are brought into the State
Treasury.
Controversy Arises
The controversy over this bill
arose out of the fact that some
Legislators thought the Commit
tee on Ways and Means should
spend the necessary time (esti
mated at a month) to review all
budgets and to recommend cuts
for the Legislature's approval.
This theory had certain advan
tages, but it was felt by the
majority of the members that
their recommendations, even
after a month of study, might
be as unpopular as the recom
mendations in the bill.
Many Legislators thought that
basic school support should be
spared, others felt that it, as
well as higher education, should
take the brunt of the cuts be
cause of their ability to "de
fend" themselves from other
revenue sources. Higher educa
tion could raise tuition and
standards. With local voter ap
proval, local school districts
could raise revenue through in
creased property taxes.
The authority was ultimately
given to the Governor.
The budget was cut some $48
million and the effects will soon
be felt.
The bigger cuts are made, of
course, from the larger budgets:
higher education, basic school
support, welfare and public in
stitutions. The effects of these
cuts will not be known for
many months, but certainly
many Orcgonians will soon feel
the pinch.
Taxation: Accelerated pay
ment of taxes withheld by the
State, known as the "one-shot,"
requested by the Governor,
passed the House and Senate.
This bill will mean some $12 mil
lion to the State in this biennium,
which with a budget cut of $48
million, makes up the $00 mil
lion deficit resulting from the
Oct. 15 ejection. Under this
measure, the State will also gain
some $200 thousand in interest.
Not a true tax measure, the
low means that the State's
larger employers will pay tax
money withheld from employe's
paychecks into the State during
the biennium rather than al the
end of it. It is strictly an emer
gency piece of legislation.
In Ihe event this is continued
in ensuing bienniums, it will not
mean a loss of the entire amount
in the subsequent biennium.
Sonic Hesitation
As a member of the Tax Com
mittee, appointed to fill the va
cancy resulting from the death
of Rep. W. O. (Bunn) Kelsay,
D-Douglas, I viewed this mea
sure with some hesitation. No
adverse testimony was heard
from affected employers. Gen
erally, these cmployrs must
send those monies withheld for
Federal taxes in to the Federal
Senate Probe
Of Baker Snarled
WASHINGTON (UPD - The
Senate investigation of former
Democratic aide Robert G.
(Bobby) Baker was snarled to
day over how far it should go,
and what it should investigate.
The dispute centers on wheth

matters as the moral improprie

financial transactions.

Testimony from the presi
dents of the two largest Oregon
banks was heard. They testified
to tne ettect that emplovers
deposit these funds in their
banks at the present time. The
employers gain the interest from
holding the funds at the present
time. The banks have the bene
fit of the use of the money. The
State, which will now receive
the funds, will generally invest
it in bonds. Hence, the State
will gain the interest.
The bill received almost
unanimous support in Commit
tee and in both Houses.
Cigarette lax: The House
Committee on Taxation consid
ered a cigarette tax bill and
passed it out of Committee to
the floor of the House.
The bill would have taxed
cigarettes at .04 and would have
been automatically referred to
the people for a vote in the
May primaries. With voter ap
proval in May, it would have
raised $7 to $8 million for the
balance of the biennium.
The bill passed in the Tax
Committee with a 6 to 4 vote,
with 4 Democrats and 2 Re
publicans supporting the meas
ure. Announce Opposition
A group of 9 Republican
House members had announced
opposition to new tax bills. A
Democratic Senate group had
done the same.
The bill, however, had no
difficulty in passing the House.
inasmucn as the measure had
a referral clause and would not
go into effect without voter ap
proval, it was not regarded by
many as a "new tax."
1 lie Senate tabled the measure
without referring it to Commit
tee. This was regarded by most
House members and some Sen
ate members as a mistake.
Had the Senate passed the
bill (and the Governor allowed
it to become law) the voters
would have had Ihe opportunity
in May to decide whether they
wanted another $7 or $8 million
for at least partial restoration
of some of the sadly depleted
budgets.
General sales lax: The House
Tax Committee spent hours in
hearings on a general sales tax
bill modeled on the California
law. The particular bill had a
referral clause and would have
taken effect this biennium. It
provided for a 3 per cent tax
on most items, exempting such
things as food, drugs, feed, seed
ana lertilizer.
Because of the brevity of the
session, it was thought that
there would probably not be
enough time to complete study
on the bill, but the Committee
did continue its study, never
knowing for certain how long
Ihe session would last.
Testimony Is Heard
Testimony was heard from
representatives of industry, ag
riculture and the State Tax
Commission. Our thought was
that if the session were, for
some reason, prolonged, there
was a possibility that a bill
might be in shape for referral
to the floor. Further, the study

of Legislature
of this bill is planned by the
Interim Committee on taxation
and the work done by the spe
cial session Tax Committee will
make their task that much
easier.
It then became apparent that
the Senate would not act on the
measure, which also would have
had an automatic referral. The
Tax Committee, however, con
tinued its study for whatever
help it may be to the Interim
Committee on Taxation.
It was found that administra
tive costs under the proposed
legislation would be extremely
high. The State estimated costs
of about $2 million a biennium,
and representatives of the retail
trade estimated a $4.5 million
cost.
There seems to be little ques
tion among the members of the
Legislature that a sales tax
measure will be introduced at
the next session, and probably
passed for voter consideration
at a special election.
Salary cuts: The Tax Com
mittee introduced, as a Com
mittee bill, a measure to reduce
legislative pay by 20 per cent
and the salaries of other elected
officials by li per cent. The
bill passed the Committee., by
unanimous vote ot tne b Demo
cratic members, opposed by one
Republican with 5. Republicans
absent.
This measure was similar to
one introduced by Rep. J. E.
Bennett, D-Portland, but did
not include non-elected State
employes. The bill passed the
House by a substantial majori
ty, but like the cigarette tax,
died in the Senate. The last
day attempt by Sen. Al Flegel,
D-Douglas, to bring the bill to
the floor failed just before ad
journment. Boardnian: Although the Gov
ernor, on Nov. 11, had urged
that no new legislation, other
than of a fiscal nature, be in
troduced, he requested on Nov.
15 that new legislation be pass
ed regarding the Boardman
Boeing situation.
The Legislature had been as
sured during the regular ses
sion that the problems which
had plagued this contract were
solved. However, Boeing's at
torneys claimed title was not
clear and that it would not be
clear without a further $522
thousand purchase from the
Navy. The Governor claimed
the problem was worthy of a
special session in and of itself.
Many legislators felt that the
State had gone far enough with
Boeing Company and that if
they weren't satisfied yet, that
we should look into other com
panies. Recess Is Called

diately after passage of the
salary bill, called a recess and
asked the attorney-members in
to his office for a discussion of
the legal opinion just rendered
by Attorney General Robert Y.
Thornton. The opinion, dealing
with the Boardman matter, had
stated that "grave doubt" ex
isted in his mind regarding
constitutionality.
In the middle of the discus
sion, the phone rang ana
Speaker Barton answered. With
a shocked look, he turned to
us with the news that the Pres
ident had been shot and was
in a Dallas hospital in grave
condition.
Debate on Boardman, sched
uled for 11:30 o'clock that
morning, was forgotten. For an
hour legislators wandered from
the news room in the basement
to the floor of the House and,
back again. It was decided to
recess until Dec. 2. Just as this
this was about to be announced
by the Speaker, confirmation:
of the rumors came through.
The President was dead.
The Legislature re-convened
for the last day on Dec. 2, 1903.'
Debate Is Started
The Boardman debate started .
at 10 a.m. and lasted for more
than three hours in the House.
Proponents argued that the
State had a d'.ity to continue
with the deal, having agreed
to do so in 1901. Opponents ar
gued that we had gone far
enough, that this was not the
lease approved in 1961 and that
it was not to the best inter
est of Oregon.
The bill passed the House 33
to 26 and later that afternoon
passed the Senate 20 to 10. With
in an hour after passage by tne
Senate we adjourned the 1903
special session.
In summary, the budget was
cut $48 million, a speed-up of
withholdings was passed which
will bring in $12 million, the
House passed a cigarette tax
and Legislative salary cut which
were rejected by the Senate
and the Boardman-Boeing bill
was passed.
Vetoes: For the first time in
his term as Governor, Mr. Hal
field was over-ridden on a veto.
This occurred, not once, bul
twice during the brief session.
One was on a House bill au
thorizing, during the interim,
legislative counsel to check on
citizen's complaints regarding
administrative rulings. The oth
er was on a Senate bill regard
ing so-called "loss - leaders"
which restricts larger mer
chants from using loss-leaders
to the claimed detriment of
smaller merchants.
Unless Boardman runs into
