SALES LEW RAI.KM. Jan. 22. The pro posed sales lax to ho voted Jan. .11 would raise between $3,000, ooo to (4. ooo. ooo annually if passed by the electorate at the special session Junuary 31, At torney (ieneral 1, H. Van Winkle has estimated In answering a series of questions by Governor Martin. The opinion also held that If tho sales tax, cnlled by some a gross incninii tax, were defeated, "thero will bo nn stale money to match tho federal money for old age assistance." Fin of tokens for fractional values of a cent will not bo per mitted under the proposed uew lax law. Tlio law was enacted at thu recent legislative session but was referred to the voters. Fundti derived from tho tax would be used fur the payment of old ago pensions and fur the relief of tlio needy blind. Tin specific questions wero propounded by Governor Murtln lu his letter to tho attorney gou eral. Other answers were: All tangible persunul property, othor than Dial specifically ex empli d, would be subject to the lux. No tax would bo levied on In come derived from si rvlco except ing as It may be Included in rules of tangible properly. KxcmpttoiiB listed bv Attorney tieneriil Van Wiuklo follow: Fresh Bwoii milk, canned milk, cheisc, eggs, raw unprocessed Irult nnd vegetubles. meat, fish, unsweetened bread in lonf form, Including rolls and buns, sold for consumption off the premises. Seed sold to presons producing new crops fur sale, nnd focd sold to persons producing for sulo milk, eggs, wool, fur, 'meat or other substances obtained from livestock or poultry. Personal properly eold to the federal government, stnto of Ore gon, their departments or lnstltu tluns, or to tiny county, munici pality, district, or other govern mental Btihdlvislun of Ibis statu. Personal property used for Hio performance of a contract on pub- lie, works exiicuted prior to the erffctlvo duto of the act. Personal property Bold for use or coivuniptlon as an Ingredient or component part In producing personal property for sale, or s material or chemical used In pro ccssjng such new article or per sonal property. Isolated or occasional sales by ono not In the bsulness. " Motor vehlclo fuels upon which a tax already hoc been Imposed by tho state. Sales of personal property of each person to the extent of $50. Tho tax does not Impose any tax on lncomo from service as such, therefore, all salaries, wages and fees of all kinds would bo tax free. The opinion continues: "Tho exemption of certain pri mary food,) bus the practical ef fect of relieving the dairyman, fruit grower, vegetable grower and poultryman from any tax whatever under this act. "Tho general farmer, selling grain, bay and livestock la classi fied as a wholesaler, except where he sella at retail direct to the flnnl consumer. Ho would be subject to the tax at the wholesale rate of one-quarter of one per cent on his grow Income derived from sales of such personal property as Is not exempt, or the amount I of $2 on each $1000 of taxable ! rroHR tllnllle., Van Winkle said the act nei ther provides nor prohibits the merchant from adding the tax as a separato and ppeclfic charge to the selling price of his goods. In enso the sales tax Is adopt ed persona over G5 years of age would be eligible to participate. Tho atnte tax commission esti mated that the average pension under tho law would exceed $20 per month, as against the average of $10.65 at tho present time. Tho Ford Motor company, ac cording to Henry Ford, can Judge fairly accurately of the temper of tho times, for in the automobile business It comes in contnet di rectly or Indirectly with nearly every art and craft In the nation. Henry Ford, hale and hearty at tho ago of 72 has absolutely no desire to retiro from his business, for, as ho Bays, retirement and going to seed are almost synony mous. It has ' been estimated that thero nro approximately 12,000. 000 lllltorato poople In the Unit ed Stutoa. Two new Hues of cars a new Alrstrenin and tho Airflow HI, h. 0. Arena p-voulcd Hie details of its l:ii; Oo Holo models at the auto show. Tho new Airflow fentures per fected aerodynamic ntyllug and Important engineering udvances. Tlio lOilfl Airstream, u more con ventionally designed car, incor porates inmiy of thu automotive Innovations originally Introduced with thu Airflow, aiir-h as scien tific weight distribution and float ing ride. llotli Hie Airflow and the Air stream cars have high compres sion motors, syuiiiro-sllent trans missions, a new uverdrlvo trans mission, niHt-prouf safetywiteel boiliis. Improved hydraulic brukes, floating Kwer nad hypold rear uxb-s In the Airflow and Custom Alrstr'-uin. Two ew Hc-rles The Alrstreum will be available in two series the He Luxe and Custom. Tho caw will be offered in tlio following body models In Hies" lines: touring sedull, tour ing brougham and i-onpo. A con vertible sedan ami a convertible coupe will be iiildlllonul features of the custom line. Longer and lower than last year, the Airstream has a wheel- base of 117 inches. Numerous re finements of body dej-ign contri bute to the long, low appearance of tho cur. A beautiful new round ed radiator . . . hood louvres deftly fufhloiu-d In wlng-Hke sec tions . . . torpedo type head lamps mounted on wind-stream brackets . . . speed-lined rear lights, ull add to the smartness of the new model. The aerodynamic styling of the car ia further enhanced In the Custom line by a new V-type windHhlelil, which slants back, up ward and outward, from a chro mium center bar. Equipped with a safety-steel body that has been strengthened and roin forced at many vital points, the Airstream has been made sturdier by a redesigned frame bo formed that it Is now to per cent more rigid than the preceding model. The new frame and body are Joined together in such a way that each strengthens tho other. New rubber Insulation between frame and body effec tively Bhuts out road noises. The 1936 Airflow models which will be available In two body typts sedan and coupe Include all of the original advantages of aerodynamic design, redistribu tion of weight and unit frame construction, plus a number of refinementa designed to give the car new comfort and Improved appearance. Without In any way departing from (ho aerodynnmio design, the new Airflow cars have been skill fully reslyleil. The Airflow front of last year hus been replaced with a new dir. cast radiator grille fashioned to form a trollls-llko arrunguiiieiit of bright chro mium vertical bars. The bars aro gracefeully curved at the top to blend Into '.bo flowing lines of the hood and tho whole section 1m smoothly east to create a striking effect. Now hood louvres contribute to the smartness of the J 9,16 Air flow. Instead of the conventional horizontal panel extending In a strulght linn nearly the length of the hood, the louvres now consist i of two highly decorative wing-! shaped tedious which graduate downward to the rear, breaking up the flat surfaces along the sides of the hood. Ovenliive Avuilnbln Tho engine In the Airflow and Airstream Is a six-cylinder L-head with an unusually high compres sion ratio for Increased power and performance. In the past, high compression, while recognized for lis power and economy advantages ban not been considered entirely satisfactory for stock cars be cause of objectionable spark knock during moments of rapid acceleration. Chrysler engineers, however, i have found a way to eliminate i thb by utilising the vacuum In ! the Intake manifold to develop a I new system of automatic spark control. A new overdrive transmission is available In the Airflow and Airstream He Sotos this .year. The new transmission means elower engine speed and, therefore, a saving In gas and oil. Quiet op eration Is assured by helical gears and by a silent hypold rear axle. ,UTOM.TIO HPAltK ADVANC'K Uulck this year combines vac uum control with the usual cen trlfugnl spark advance resulting In a correct spark (dvunce for all driving conditions and all en gine spoedri. At the end of October, the Ford Motor com puny had sold 32 per cunt of all cars sold In 1935. This Is a tribute to one man's leader ship Hunry Ford's for ho has been the active- hoad of Ford Motor company since the begin ning of tho century. When asked recently If he fnrov saw any radical change's in auto mobiles, Henry Ford replied that uutomobiles change as decidely as government, but that these changes will not come all of eudden. NEW TVI'K VALVR LIFTER In both engines powering the 1936 Quick linns a new type cylin drical ported piston vnlva litter la usod, contributing greatly to si lencing valva action In the new cars. The chromium grille of the now Dodge radiator ! alr-slyled for nppearunce, stream-lined for utility, with a nose narrowed to cut the wind and duepened to give cooling surfneo, Richard Trovorthlck, ot Eng. land, generally Is credited with duvlBlng, in 1802, the first motor vuhlcle which could be oporatod. Improvements were made In his invention, and hy 1824 several steam vehicles wore in operation between Cheltenham nnri fllmi. I coster, Eng. NEW EXGIXK The 1936 Studebaker Dictator is powered with a brand new en gine, a six, which develops 90 horsepower at 3400 revolutions per minute. Under the air-styled, unob structed rear deck ot the new Dodge business coupe Is a stor age capacity of 31 cubic feet. The new bracket-arm holds the com partment top securely and auto matically. The record catch of a striped Marlln swordfish is 1040 pounds. Tile catch was made off the Cali fornia coast by Zane Grey, the novelist.
