I YEAR Tax Talk By JOSEPHINE KITTREDCE A prophetic event in Oregon his tory, perhaps in the history ot me United States, took place in Sa lem yesterday at the special ses sion of the Oregon Legislative As sembly. A nonpartisan vote or bipartisan vote of 29-1 removed the state of Oregon from the field of property taxes in the Oregon Senate on Wednesday of this week. The bill that was the focal point of much discussion in the last ses sion of the Legislature as Senate Bill 92, has now become senate Bill 1 and has as its bipartisan sponsors Senator Harry Boivin Senator Warren Gill and Sena tor Gleason. Senate Bill 1. as we shall call it from now on, re ceived only one dissenting vote in the Senate yesterday, and that was from Senator Monroe Sweetland of Clackamas County, Senator Sweetland advanced as his argument that the bonded in debtedness -of the state of Oregon would not be protected if this bill was passed. I have heard this stat ed before in our own county by Jteprescntativc John Kcrbow. How ever, in fairness to Representative Kcrbow who is a member of the House Tax Committee. I must say that he said that some of the bonding companies or those who would normally be in the market for the bonds of the stale, had made that statement. I felt it was necessary to check such a statement, knowing that it was our responsibility to present accurate information within the limits of those whom we present ed as- authorities. I have in my possession two letters on whether or not the state's: bonded indebted ness and interest would be protect ed; also whether or not the bond ing companies would buy our bonds. The first from Fred I'aulus, long with the State Treasury De partment of Oregon, states, "The credit rating of the state should not be affected adversely by enact ment of the bill." Paulus of course docs not assume a position on the desirability of passing the bill, as that does not fall within the office he represents to interfere with the legislative arm of the government. His opinion was asked only on a point of inter pretation. , The other letter thai I have is from Blyth and Company of Port land signed by (Robert Hall, vice president, in which he states, "I understand that the statement has been made that the passage of a. it. l would impair the ability oi ine stale to sell its bonds. I don't see how this could possibly have any effect as S. B. 1 removed the state from the property tax field except for debt service. In 'other words, the state would still be obligated and empowered to make whatever levy would be re quired to pay the principal and in terest on its bonds." Blyth and Company could cer tainly be considered authorities in this matter, as they arc one of the very large buyers of state and municipal bonds. Being practical about the matter, we all know Uiat no one could afford to make state ments such as these without the proper knowledge of Senate Bill 1 and its provisions. Let's bring the mailer closer to home. One of the reasons for a large surplus, other than the hiked Incomo tax rates we now have, is that the Stale Tax Commission has traditionally underestimated the revenue a tax will bring in. They have done this solely because they have known that the minute a tax did not bung in the required amount of revenue, the state prop erty tax became an involuntary tax, and took precedence over any county monies raised by property taxes. In other words ... if the in come tax fails to produce the ex pected amount of revenue to meet me slate s budget . . . the six announcement that the British government has recommended that women be granted seats in the House of Lords for the first time in history. This would seem to be, on the face of it, one of the smallest sops to feminine vanity possible and a largely meaningless political gesture. A member of the House of Lords, that ritual-laden organ ization of vanished grandeur and departed power, has about as much real influence in the affairs of the British Commonwealth as the aide-de-camp of a Zulu tribal chief. As a Londoner might put it, "A seat in the House of Lords plus six pence will also get you a seat on the bus." However, it is quite likely many ladies will regard the installation of a powder puff room in the House of Lords as a big feminist victory, which just goes to show how the equal rights campaign has lost its virility at least in the English-speaking world. The outlook for more major gains by the feminists in the United States today appeals dis mal. At the present moment the movement is bogged down, stale- mill slate properly tax would add a properly tax of 20 per cent to Klamath County the minute it was to be collected. It is a threat at all times and contributes to the underestimating by the Stale lax commission. Also, for the record, a slate property tax can be voted by the Legislature or by the people them selves as a voluntary measure, if it is ever deemed necessary or prudent. This bill does not remove the right to vote such a tax. it just prohibits the tax being auto matically eollecled. The state Senate lias led the way in taking taxes out of poli tics on this vote. Perhaps the House Tax Committee will report this bill out to the floor of the House and allow the members nf the House of Representatives to vole on the measure. I would sug gest that you write your repre sentatives, John Kcrbow and Carl laneey, and Senator Harry Boi vin and tell them how you feel about this matter . . they want to know! was two ounces, proving that the milk industry is winning the fight against over-abundance. This fact was brought out by C. Raymond Brock, president of the Milk Industry Foundation, at that group's convention in San Fran cisco. Among other tidbits of in formation contained in Mr. Brock s speech was that the average fac tory worker needs to work only seven minutes today to earn the retail price of a quart of milk. In 1890, it took 26 minutes to earn the price of a quart. The l'i-ounce daily per capita surplus, thus, represents only 20 seconds of labor. If each worker represents a family of five, he could, by devoting less than two minutes of work a day toward purchase of a half-pint of milk, consume the surplus for all five. There may be an answer to the 15-minute to half-hour coffee break in this bit of arithmetic. The dairy industry might try to per suade employers to buy each work er a half-pint of milk each day and give him five minutes to drink it. Everybody would benefit: The milk surplus would be wiped out, employers would recapture the unrlr-i'nlnp nf al load a mifii- fnc "ml u:u".!iuu. 1 ne 1 a u 1 e s , the price of a half-pint and work have been bought off by partial I crs would become strong and .,.....,, """" ncallny. vniuiii-a, mat MiL-M naming; revo lutionary zeal.

Klamath Falls (To The Editor) With reference to "rid our alleys ol lawn trimmings, trash, etc. agree wholeheartedly -with the ouuuing inspector and the lire chief. But, there is another side to that picture. I am told the citv will grade the alleys if reauested by the property owners. Why should we have to request them. We don't have to request the city to patch a hole in the pavement in front of our home. Seems to me that our alleys could be made more attrac tive and passable if the city did their share first and then penalized offenders dumping trash. I also understand contractors pay a certain fee to make an excavation in our alleys to connect to sewer lines, etc. and are supposed to leave me alley In as firm a con- dition as they found it. In my alley there were three or four such excavations and holes never properly tamped. For 86 years 1 personally hauled fuel through practically every alley in this city and 1 think 1 know whereof I speak. I know of one alley right now witn ruts a foot deep, water standing in it and boards placed in it to permit travel. Could the fire trucks go through this one? Ask the garbage boys, they know. Perhaps this letter should be sent to the common council instead of your paper, but I thought it would be read by more people this way, and perhaps not be pigeonholed by routine business. Fred II.
