PAGE FOUR HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1957 Special Session Deadlocked On Tax Problem By PAUL W. HARVEY JB. SALEM W The Oregon Legis lature ended the second week of its special session Saturday not only unable to agree upon how much to reduce income taxes, but also over how to apply a reduc tion. Both houses held short Satur day sessions and then quit until Monday. A four-member confer ence committee, assigned to try to solve the problem, continued to study tax commission figures and statistics. Republicans stood firm in their demands for a 30 per cent reduc tion, while Democrats said they won't budge from their position that the reduction should be lim ited to 15 per cent. But the mechanics of how to apply a reduction became as big a stumbling block as the amount of the cut. The Democrats want to apply any reduction as a straight "across the board" cut. The taxpayer would figure his tax on the pres ent rate schedule, and then de duct whatever reduction is or dered. Everybody would get the same percentage reduction. The Republicans demand that any reduction be incorporated in the rates. The present rate sched ule of 4 to 11.6 per cent would be reduced to 3 to 9 per cent. The taxpayer wouldn't be very con scious that he had received a re duction unless he compared his tax to that paid last April. Democrats argue that a straight percentage reduction is simple and fair. Republicans say their system would be more permanent, and would grant greater relief in the low brackets.

School Fund Vote Slated MONTAGUE A special elec tion will be held on December 10 seeking approval of the voters for use of state aid funds to build an addition to the present Monta gue Elementary School. Polls will be open at the school building from 2 to 7 p.m. Decision for the election was made by the school bourd on No vember 5 at which time the plans and specifications prepared by Howard R. Perrin, Klamath Falls architect, were considered and approved. The plans for the three addi tional standard classrooms call for a connecting corridor to attach to the present building and include provision for future expansion of the building as the need arises. Currently, the school has been renting three rooms in the old school building in order to house kindergarten and first grade classes. The first conference committee was unable to agree 'Friday, so was discharged. Speaker Pat Dooley ID), Port land, , reappointed Democratic Reps. Clarence Barton, Coquille, and Guy Jonas. Salem, to the sec ond committee. Senate President Boyd Over hulse (D), Portland, named Sens. Ben Musa (D), The Dalles, and Philip S. Lowry (R). Medford. They replace Sens. Walter J. Pear son (D), and Rudie Wilhelm (R), ootn ot Portland. In the first committee's session, Wilhelm agreed to a cut of 18 or 19 per cent, and the three Demo crats went along. But the Repub lican caucus mrnea down this of fer. Barton and Jonas favor the lat est uemocrauc oner ot 15 per cent, ana iowry and Musa want a 30 per cent cut. The committee couldn't agree until it gets ap proval of both party caucuses. Senators grew increasingly an gry at the House for its refusal to act on Senate bills, including those to abolish the state Drcmertv tax and to validate rural fire districts. The Senate feels that the House by refusing to consider the Senate measures, is trying to force the Senate to accept the Democrats' version of the tax legislation. HepuDiicans made another ef fort Saturday to take the property tax bill from the House Rules Committee, but it failed 30-23. Musa and Lowry demanded House action on the Senate bills. as well as on bills to provide for loss carryover and accelerated de preciation as a means of help ing businesses reduce their .in come taxes. Barton told the other conferees that the state might not be able to afford a 30 per cent cut be cause of the state's faltering econ omy. But the Tax Commission said it sees no reason to reduce its estimate of a 74 million dollar surplus at the end of the bien-nium. The House passed and sent to me governor a bill appropriating $721,988 for the state Emergency Hoard, the bill restored to the board its $1,500,000 fund, which was depleted when the board pro vided $721,000 to permit a start on construction of the reformatory nere. For the second time at this sDe cial session, the Senate voted to override a veto by Gov. Holmes The vote, 22 to 8, was on a bill to set up a state Bureau of Identi fication and Investigation in the state police department. The HBuse is expected to sustain the veto. Such a bureau now is being set up oy order ot Gov. Holmes. While the bill would have com pelled local police agencies to file crime reports with the bureau, there is no such compulsion under me governor s order. ; I' Ifl 1 S J ' Tension Prevails in Syria Along Turkish Borderline DANGEROUS stunt but one dear to childhood days is climbing railroad signal tow ers.

Photo by Parks JAKKARA, Syria, Nov. 10 Oft One may not feel it in Damascus nor even in Aleppo, but here in this tiny village just a few hun dred yards from the troubled Turkish border, the air crackles with tension. The 50 sharecroppers living in this mountain hamlet never went out much at night. Now they don't go out at all. They do not go down the hillside for their crops be cause, they say, they are afraid the Turks would shoot them. "If a Turkish soldier kills an Arab he gets promotion," they say, and you hear similar talk all around this northwestern region opposite areas where Turkish troops are stationed. Just across the border from Jakkara is the Turkish town of Rayhaniya where Syrians say American officers are in "active duty positions" with Turkish units. 'Defense and State Department spokesmen in Washington say members of the U. S. mission in Turkey have 'no command func tions and are instructing Turks in the use of U. S. equipment.) Jakkara recently was the scene of a gun battle across the frontier. Its nervous people are the real vic tims of the three-month old ten sion between Syria and Turkey. Their best crops down the hillside in the Aasi River Valley are rot ting on the ground. "Anytime we come down tne hill the Turks across the river be gin shouting threats and making menacing gestures with their guns." Jakkaras' mukhtar (may or) told a group of visiting news men. "They have been provoking us for two months." Standing in this hilltop village, newsmen saw two Turkish soldiers moving along the other side of the Aasi River, which separates Syri an and Turkish territories on this part of the order. "You don't see many of them in daylight." Mukhtar Jasem Ah med Hilal said. "But at night they always come out of their post in large numbers." The post is visible. 'We've been afraid the Turks would shoot at us for many months," Hilal said. f TB SURVEYED WIESBADEN.

Nick Melo, station manager, said the fire burned $6,000 to $7,000 wortn ot stock including tires and auto accessories. He said much of the loss was insured.

Safety Fair Plans Listed balety ollicials from all over the nation will be watching for results of an experiment to be staged in Medford, November 16, The event, the Southern Oregon Safety Fair, will be an experiment in safety education, and according to spokesmen of the sponsoring organization, it will be the first time that an event of this na ture has ever been staged. The concept of presenting the safety story in the form of an exposition of safety devices, dis plays 'and demonstrations is not completely new, but the public sponsorship and participation fea tures are new. Myron Terpening, general chairman of the safety fair, explained that state and na tional safety groups are anxious to discover if the Southern Ore gon event will secure the neces sary public support needed. If it is ' successful the idea may be adopted by other areas in the nation. The volunteer workers from la bor, business and industry are finding good support from all seg ments of the community. They feel confident that the public will find the event entertaining as well as informative. In an effort to make participa tion vas interesting as possible the planning committee has stated that there will be no charge to exhibitors and the event will be free to the public. The site select ed for the safety fair is the new Memorial Armory in Medford which has been secured through arrangements with the Oregon National Guard. Everything needed for the suc cessful staging of the event will be contributed by interested indi viduals and firms and any minor expenses incurred will be paid by the State Industrial Accident Com mission, from the budget alloca tion for accident prevention. Two Calls Listed By KF Firemen Only two minor fire calls were reported by the City Fire Depart ment Friday night and Saturday. At 10:50 p.m. Friday, the de partment rolled to the 100 block of South Seventh Street where an auto was reported to be leaking gas. The trouble was quickly corrected with no damage.
