PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON March 2, 1048 Pensioners Senate to Pinball Tax Issue By PAUL W. SALEM, March 2 VP) Advocates of bigger old age pensions cored a major victory today when the senate voted 19 to 10 to reconsider its 17-13 vote against the pinball tax bill, which its sponsors estimate would raise ment of pensions averaging at least $38 a month. The senate will consider the bill at 10:30 a. m. tomorrow. The measure would tax pinball games $50 a year and coin-operated phonographs $10. The house had passed it without opposition. Passage of the bill would as sure enough revenue to increase ' the average pension to $38 a month, paying many pensioners the $40 monthly maximum al lowed by the federal govern ment Increase Voted The average now is 25, but the budget of former Gov. Charles A. Sprague provided for an in crease to $34 by June 1945. - The Joint ways and means committee voted last week to In crease the old age pension ap propriation for the next bien nium from $16,880,000 to $20, 000,000, so that the $34 figure could be increased to $38. But this increase could only be made possible if liquor revenues re main close to their current high levels, which is questionable. Governor Earl Snell, while re fusing to endorse the pinball bill, did say the revenue must be raised by some method. Representatives of all major labor and farm organizations In Oregor protested to the house taxation and revenue committee against a bill. which would let the people decide at the Novem ber 1944 election whether they want a 3 per cent sales tax. Police Raise The senate killed 26. to 3 a bill by Sen. Marshall E. Cornett, Klamath Falls, to repeal the 1941 law taxing motor vehicle drivers 50 cents each two years to set up a fund to pay hospitals for caring for indigent traffic ac cident victims. Cornett said the tax is unnecessary because little advantage is taken of the fund. . The house passed and sent to the senate a bill to increase sal aries of state police officers be tween $35 and $50 a month. Pri vates would be boosted from $160 to $200 a month. . The house passed a senate bill to refund antelope hunting li cense fees collected last year, when the season was cancelled. 97 More Dentists To Be Recruited PORTLAND, March 2 VP) uregon s already overworked dentists will-face even fatter date books shortly.
