Legislative
Conference
Eyes Image'
SALEM -(UPD-A legislature
"image" was a topic of serious
concern here Tuesday at an all
- day orientation conference for the
J963 Oregon assembly.
' ; Old and new lawmakers were
'. briefed on the intricacies of the
'- legislative process and
"the difficulties of communicating
them to the people back home.
"The average citizen doesn'
accord the place in society to the
legislator that he deserves, for
mer Gov. Robert Holmes said in
' a panel discussion.
"The legislature has not had the
Image It should have, said for
mer Rep. George Layman, chair
man of the Constitutional Revision
Commission. He said the legisla-
tlve branch is pressed to catch
up with the executive and judicial
branches in efficiency and pres-
fige.
The lawmakers were told the
"'image" problem will be particu-
" larly difficult this session because
Oregon faces two unpopular alter
natives an increase in taxes or
a cut in services.
The panelists also noted that
newspapers and television and
radio stations are limited by time
and space in publicizing the views
and activities of each of the 90
legislators.
The legislators were advised of
ways to facilitate news coverage.
Thcv included Issuing press re
leases, contacting members of the
legislative press corps, and keep
ing in touch with newspapers and
radio and television stations In
the lewmakcrs' own district.
As one sample of an unfortu
nate image, a panelist cited the
cast of a highly qualified legisla
tor some years ago who drew
sudden unwanted publicity over a
whim a bill to ban popcorn in
movies.
Portland newsman Tom JlcCall
said legislators coidd face unwar
ranted criticism over raising their
own salaries and increasing taxes
at the same session. He said the
public must be made to under
stand that Oregon's legislative
pay now ranks near the bottom
nationally, and that tlve voters
okayed a change.

This Is the sixth of eight articles
ta the Newspaper Enterprise As
sociation Income Tax Primer, for
readers who want more Informa
tion than Is supplied in the offi
cial instructions.
By RICHARD A. MULLENS
and
CHARLES W. SCHOENE.MAN
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
A great deal of time in filling
out your return may well be spent
in determining whether you are
better off itemizing nonbusiness
deductions on page 2 of Form 1040.
Generally speaking, the alterna
tive to itemizing is to claim the
standard deduction of 10 per cent
of line 9 or $1,000, whichever
less. If your "line 9" (ad
justed gross income) is less than
$5,000, then you have technically
another alternative that of using
the "tax table." (The "tax ta
ble," usable only if you do not
itemize, allows approximately the
10 per cent of the standard de
duction, limited to $500 for such
married taxpayer filing separate
return. )
To decide whether the itemized
or the standard deduction is more
advantageous, know what deduc
tions are available to you if you
were to itemize.
AH interest is such a deduc
tion. Interest on your home loan
is an example. Also, interest on
your credit purchases is an item
ized deduction.
If you are in business for your
self, business interest is deducti
ble, but only on your Schedule C.
Certain specific taxes imposed
on you and paid by you are de
ductible on page 2 if not in
curred in the operation of your
business. Real estate taxes are
deductible, but they must be paid
on property owned by the taxpay
er claiming deduction. Special as
sessments paid for local benefits
such as sidewalks are not deducti
ble real estate taxes. To be de
ductible, real estate taxes must
be imposed on all property in the
territory subject o the taxing
authority.
Federal gasoline (and jewelry.
liquor and cigarette) taxes are
not deductible as taxes. They may,
however, be deducted in certain
circumstances ps a business ex
pense.
Slate gasoline and auto license
and annual auto registration fees
are deductible. But your auto
title fees, auto inspection fees and,
of course, fines arc not deductible, i
On the other hand, your state or
local poll tax is deductible. State1
and local sales taxes (and simi
lar taxes) arc deductible.
Note: Special tables are avail
able from your local Internal Rev
enue office for sales tax deduc-

tipn.
Medical and dental expenses
may be itemized deductions, but
generally are deductible only if
and to the extent they exceed
three per cent of your 1 i n e 9
figure on Form 1040. Medicines
are generally deductible only and
if to the extent they are more
than one per cent of your line
figure. And then medicine
only becomes part of a medical
expense which must exceed the
three per cent figure. Taxpayers
t35 or over, or with spouses, or
dependent parents or In-laws 65
or over are exceptions to these
limitations. There is a special.
IRS form available for use in
figuring this form 2948.
One itemized deduction you may
overlook is the one for care of
children or disabled dependents.
If you are a woman (or a widower
or divorced or legally separated
man) you can claim up to a $600
deduction for care of persons for
whom you are entitled to a per
sonal exemption, and who are ei
ther less than 12 years of age,
or who are physically or mentally
incapable of caring for them
selves regardless of age.
This deduction is only avail
able, if care of the child or dis
abled dependent is for the pur
pose of enabling you to be gain
fully employed or actively seek
ing a job. You are limited to one
such $600 deduction. You are not
assured $600; you must have ex
penses of $600 or more to obtain
full deduction.
Q Is damage to your per
sonal car from collision an item
ized deduction even though you
do not repair the damage?
A Yes, it is a casualty loss de
duction which can be itemized.
But reduce the amount of damage
by insurance payments received.
Deductible loss is noc the amount
of the repair cost; it is usually
limited to ,the decrease in fair
market value of the personal car.
(It will not be allowed if your will
ful negligence caused the colli
sion. 1
Q Can a married woman claim
a $600 child care deduction?
A Yes. But she must file a
joint return with her husband for
the year. And the amount of the
$600 deduction is reduced by the
amount ny which your line 9
income exceeds $4,500.
Q Can a charitable deduction
be itemized?
A Yes. If you do not claim the
standard deduction, you can de
duct up to 20 per cent of adjusted
gross income (line 9 of Form
1040) for a contribution to anv
charity or any religious or non-
prolit educational, scientific or lit.
crary organization. You can claim
another 10 per cent (of adjusted
gross income) if contribution is to
a church, an educat.onal institu
tion with a regular faculty or cur
riculum, a hospital, or to certain
organizations engaged in medi
cal research.
Make special efforts to keep
canceled checks and other papers
on charitable contributions.
