PAGE tA HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Wednesday, January IS, 1963 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.

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.

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. Next: Income definition.
