Newspaper Page Textf H ' 2 a m 2 Highways Blocked By Landslides SALEM, Feb. 27 W The Co lumbia River and Oregon Coast highways wore blocked by slides Igain today, State Highway En gineer R. H. Baldock said. The Columbia river slide, near Multnomah Falls, is the same one that closed the highway and Union Pacific railroad from Feb ruary 5 to 15. About 300,000 yards of dirt and rock were in volved in the first slide, but to day's slide amounts to about 5000 yards. This morning 200 feet of high way was covered five feet deep. Traffic was detoured via the Washington side of the river at Cascade Locks and Portland. Baldock said the road might be reopened in two days, but it depends on whether the slide stops running and whether the slide takes out the 90-foot wood en bridge that was built across the gap in the road which was cut in the first slide. ' Start Work - Equipment, including huge shovels and bulldozers, started working on the slide this morn ing. They had still been clean ing up from the first slide. The coast -highway trouble again , was near Manzanita. where the road started slipping toward the sea. This section was opened up only two days ago, after being closed for three weeks. Traffic again was being detoured by the Sunset and Ne- canicum highways. Baldock said the slide problem is the worst in the commission's history. But there were some bright spots in today s road report. Washouts on the Willamette highway were cleared up today, so that two-way traffic was re stored on the entire route. The pavement on all mountain roads was almost free of snow and ice, Report The road report also said: Government Camp Raining, 36 degrees. Totoal snow 90 inches. Road is bare to top of Salmon river, milepost 5 on Wa- pinitia. patches of snow and ice to miiepost 23 on waoinitia. Santiam Junction Raining, 34 degrees. One-way traffic at milepost 79 because of snow slide, but expect to cave normal traffic before noon. Road bare of snow throughout district ex cept at scene of slide.

Income Tax Return (Editor's Not: This is another of icveral itorUi xplaining who dot what about his income taxe.) By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 P) Don't forget your deductions in filing your 1945 income tax re turn. You may save money. Many expenses are deductible. So arc some kinds of income which not only are exempt from tax but don't have to be report ed. All the kinds of deductions can't be listed here. If you have doubts or questions, ask your in-, tornationsl revenue collector. The amount of deductions will determine for many people the kind of income lax return uiey file. People who made $5000, or over, have to file on the 1040 lon-form anyway. They can do one of two things in filing that return: 1. Take, without itemizing, the standard S500 deduction al lowed everyone who files on the 1040 long-form. Just write down $500 in deductions whether they amounted to that much or not. 2. Or, if your deductions were more than S500, then claim them for whatever they are. But when you do that, you'U have to item- 1 Ease the smarting sting and smooth roughened jkinorer night, with oily, medicated REGinOIL PILES, SUCCESSFULLY TREATED NO PAIN NO HOSPITALIZATION Na Leu of Tim Permanent Eesnlft!

Judge Tosses Out Old Case PORTLAND, Feb. 27 (IP) (P) A suit in connection with the sale of a horse 13 years ago for $100 was dismissed yester day by Special Judge Ira C. Tilton after he described the case as "a strain on the judici ary and a disgrace to the legal profession." The case, which has piled up costs of more than $1000 in seven trials and was coming up for the eighth time, started after Ben Anderson sold a mare to Ben and Vernon Kuehl and took a $100 note. The Kuehls declared the horse was un sound, refused to pay; and An derson repossessed the horse. . The Kuehls won five. of. the previous trials, but a new hear ing was granted each time. One trial ended in a mistrial and one in disagreement. . During the litigation, Ander son was killed but the case was carried on by his estate. The horse also is dead. Bank Resources Highest In History PORTLAND. Feb. 27 (JPi Re sources of Oregon state banks totaled the highest in history during the last six months of 1945, Staje Banking Superin tendent A. A. Rogers said today. He said a survey by the na tional association supervisors of state banks revealed Oregon banks had higher gains than the national average. Assets jumped 17.6 per cent compared to the national average increase of 8.2 per cent. Rogers said total assets De cember 31, 1945 were $147,582, 032; deposits, $139,975,362; and U. S. securities holdings $93,-791,332. CAMP MOCCASINS ' Ideal for Either Indoor or Outdoor Use, Red Rubber Soles. 2.95 Oregon Woolen Store 800 Main ize all your deductions. But what of the people who made under $5000? They, depending on their in dividual case, can file their re turn on form W-2, the withhold ing receipt, or the 1040 short form. Here are the two steps they can take: Two Steps 1. Everyone filing form W-2 or the 1040 short-form automati cally is allowed a deduction of about 10 per cent of income for non-taxable expenses even though they did not amount to 10 per cent. So you don't have to itemize any deductions on form W-2 or the 1040 short-form. Your 10 per cent deduction already has been taken out or your tax which you find in the table used to tell the tax on people using those forms. 2. If your income was under $5000 but your deductions were more than 10 per cent, then use the 1040 Ions-form where you'll have to itemize your deductions but can claim them for what ever they are. (Since servicemen, veterans and their families get special consideration, their problems will be handled in a later story.) First of all, here are kinds of income which don't have to be reported on your return at all, no matter what form you use: Social security benefits, unem ployment compensation, gifts ex cept those given for personal service, life insurance paid be cause of the death of the insured, sickness and injury benefits re ceived from health or accident insurance under workmen's com pensation laws, inheritance or bequests of money or property (although the income therefrom is taxable.) Deductible Expentei Here are some deductible ex penses: Charitable contributions (they can't exceed 15 per cent of in come) to religious and charitable organizations; interest paid on personal debts, such as bank loans and mortgages; state in come and personal property and real estate except those taxes or assessments which tend to in crease the value of your prop erty. Also property losses from war, accident, fire, storm or other casualty or theft: a special $500 deduction for the blind; un compensated traveling expenses of persons whose work requires such traveling; use of your car for business, and this includes the cost of gasoline, oil, grease; repairs and cleaning: union dues; entertaining when done in con nection with your business: cost of work clothes and uniforms when not taking the place of ordinary clothing; equipment, tools and instruments used on your 30b. Excise Taxes Federal excise taxes like those on liquor, tobacco, cosmet ics, jewelry are not deductible Medical, hospital and dental expenses are deductible if they exceed five per cent of your in come but are limited to SI 250 if you file a return for yourself aione or ?Z5U0 if you claim more than one exemption. Example: Your income wan $4000 and your medical ex penses were $275. You can claim only what is over S Der cent of your income. . rive per cent of your $4000 income is. $200. Subtract that $200 from $275. medical ex penses. That leaves you $75 in deductible medical expenses. Eccles Rapped By Pay-Price Bosses WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 (Pi John W. Snyder and Chester Bowles, wage-price bosses, took issue today with a statement by Marriner S. Eccles, federal re serve chairman, that living costs might jump 10 per cent under the administration's new policy. Economic Stabilizer Bowles declared President Truman's wage-price policy would raise living costs no more than five per cent. "I don't know what figures Mr. Eccles used," Reconversion Director Snyder told the house banking committee, and added: "There is no reason for any runaway increase in the cost of living if we get real cooperation of industry and labor with the government agencies that ad minister the new wage price policy. ' "I see no reason for any ma terial increase in costs. Farming In Valley Periled VALPARAISO, Ind., Feb. 27 A consulting engineer for the governor's postwar development committee warned here thnt un less the Willamette valley flood control project is completed "there won't be any more Wil lamette valley agriculture" after a few more floods. W. M. Bartlctt, pcaklng to the chamber of commerce, criticized sportsmen's opposition to the project "in spite of tlio fact that tests . . . show the (Willamette) river so polluted fish can't live in it." Bartlctt declared failure of the state to plun has "dissipated natural resources to such an ex tent that the situation is deplor able." He listed several projects to provide employment and create wealth for the state: 1 mining development; 2 ex ploration of sodium beds in Sumner and Abert lakes; 3 cinnebar production in Ochoco mountains: 4 laterite mining in northwestern Oregon; 5 in dustrial use of cull vegetables and waste lumber; 6 rehabili tation of cut-over and burned off forest lands: 7 the Willam ette valley project. Meat Bill Will Jump BO Cents WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 W) OPA officials estimated today that the average American's meat bill will go up only about 80 cents a year as the result of higher wages authorized for packinghouse workers. They made this prediction as the agricultural department, boss of government - seized meat plants, prepared to put an addi tional 16 cents an hour into pay envelopes of 131,000 employes of five big packing companies. While this increase approved yesterday by the wage stabiliza tion board applies at present only to workers at 11 plants of Swift, Armour, Cudahy, Wilson and John Morrell. it becomes the pattern for the industry under the administration's new wage price policy. Valuable Palomino Stallion Dies . A valuable Palomino stallion, owned by Harry K. Tavenner, stock buyer, died at the auction yards near here Sunday. The horse, valued at more than $1500, had sired a number of fine Palomino colts in this area. The Palomino, known as Lark, had been owned by Tavenner for some five or six years. His death was sudden as Lark's owner said the animal had been in good health.
