IS was thrown into gear today by Jack Thompson, elections supervisor oi the Secretary of States office. With tlie apparent success of the drive to refer the 1963 legis lature's tax bill to the people, Thompson began drafting plans for the statewide election. He said a voters' pamphlet would have to be Drepared and sample ballots mailed out. A briefing of county clerks is being planned to outline election procedures, and to explain what expenses will be paid by the stale. The legislature set asioe $300,000 in anticipation that the referral would succeed and a special election would be called Disputed Tax Measure Includes Three Major Divisions SALEM iLPIl While thou sands of persons throughout Ore gon either oppose or support a referral of the 1963 legislature's $60 million tax increase package. few of them know what s in me revenue bill. The package adopted by Hie legislature includes three major divisions a liberalized capital gains tax offset by increases in the corporate excise tax, a one shot speedui) of withholding tax collections to be used only if needed, and increases in personal income tax rates.

The aDooinlment is subject to Senate confirmation. tmu unuIH raise an additional $48 million. The one-shot speedup would bring in anotner su mil lion just before the end of the current biennium. Income Features Listed The main features of the new personal income tax bill are these: Removal of the federal in come tax deduction. Joint treatment for head of whose term household. Students allowed as depend ency credit. Full extra credit lor blind persons. One-half extra credit for sen ior citizens (over 65'. S22 tax credit lor personal and dependence deductions Unlimited medical deduction above 5 per cent of income. S per cent optional standard deduction. Fractional rates ranging from 2 to 7'j per cent. Rase broadenini! via a $5 fil ing fee. 1 per cent of the adjusted gross income, or the tax, which ever is higher. Federal Tax Smaller Elimination of the federal in come tax deduction will mean that state income tax payments will go up substantially, but fed eral income tax payments win be reduced. In effect, the federal govern ment will be paying a part of the state tax bill. As an example, take the case lof a family of four with a $5,000 income. The state tax goes up S35, but because that is deductible frnm federal navments the federal tax would be reduced by $7. re ducing the out of pocket cost of the tax increase to $28. All Levels Affected Examples of how other income levels will be affected: A single person with a $1,000 u Ml nav an additional $2, a couple would pay $10 more. and a family of four $10 more. $4,000 income Single person $25 more, couple $19 more, lamuy of four an additional $15. $7,000 income Single person $4.1 more, couple $43 more, family of four an additional $55. $9,000 income Single person $46 more, couple $56 more, family of four an additional $74. $15,000 income - Single person $84 more, couple $83 more, family of four an additional $115. $25,000 income simile tr,.n $173 more, couple flu m lamily of four an additional $162 $100,000 income Single per son $533 more, couple $792 more, family of four an additional $ics Above the $5,000 inrnma 1. i the "more children you have, the more you pay" principle goes in to effect. This reflects the belief on the part of legislators that because so much of tlie state's general fund about 60 per cent goes for education, couples with lots of children should pay a bigger share of the tax load. Highway Officials Note Kiwanis Elects Increased Use Of Parks In spite of a late, rainy spring, day-use park attendance in creased by about 172.000 persons tlie first half of 1963 as com pared to the same period last year, according lo figures com piled by the Parks Division of the State Highway Department. A car count revealed that from January through June 12, there were 1,508,169 cars driven to tlie parks. During the same period of 1063, there were 1.551.224 cars counted at the parks, or an in crease of 43,035 cars. In terms of people, there were 6.204.896 people attending parks the first six months of 1963, or 172.220 more than during the lirst six months in 12. This figure results from multinlvine rarli car by four, the average num ber of persons in each car. This figure is considered more real istic than the three-per-car fig ure used previously. Overnight camping attendance. January through June, totaled 180.533 for 19f,i. and 162.017 for 1963, a drop of alxmt 10 per cent. This drop is attributed lo rain weather for a longer period than usual. Top 10 parks for overnight camping this year are Jessie M. Honeyman. Beverly Beach, Fort Stevens. Cape Lookout. Har ris Beach. Detroit Lake. Prine ville Reservoir. Sjnet !5av. Ti:- malo. and Devils Lake. This is Portland Man ANCHORAGE. Alaska (UPI - Victor C.

Pony Express Job Was Tougher WASHINGTON (UPI'-No mat ter how many perils tlie modern postman faces, his life is a bed of roses compared to the riders of tlie Pony Epress.

Speed Record BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS. Utah 1LPI1 Howard Jackson, Portland, Ore., established a world speed record of 102.6 miles per hour for Class F touring sports cars Monday in the Bon neville National Speed Trials. The old record was 98 miles per hour. Each Pony Express rider did about 75 miles a day, changing horses every 15 miles. Riders were recruited by the following newspaper advertisement: "Wanted: Young, skinny, wiry fellows not over 18. Must be ex pert riders willing to risk death daily. Orphans preferred." The most famous ride was made by Bob Haslam, who was attacked by Indians between Smith's Creek and Fort Churchill, Nev., while he was carrying Pres ident Lincoln's inaugural address. He had a 10-mile, running fight against the Indians and was struck in tlie arm and cheek by ar rows. He lost five teeth, received a fractured jaw but carried the mail through on a horse named "Old Buck." Postal Officials Defend 'Junk Mail' By HARRY FERGUSON WASHINGTON (UPD - The most popular fellow in the whole United States is named "occu pant." He gets a steady stream of mail, most of which he quick ly conveys without opening to the waste basket. This is what many embittered liersons call junk mail. The U.S. Post Office Department pre fers to call it "bulk mail" and can advance several valid reasons' why it is a good thing for the country. Eighteen billion pieces of this third class mail flow into the mail boxes of Americans each year and a good bit of it does not even have their name in tlie ad dress. It simply is addressed to "occupant." Most Americans are resigned to their fate and do nothing about the things stuffed into their mail boxes, but occasional ly a bold spirit revolts and takes up arms against the government. Such a one is Mrs. Robert L. Richard of Palo Alto, Calif., a sort of Joan of Arc w ho organized a crusade against "junk mail" by collecting 100 pounds of it and shipping it to the Post Office De- HKRALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ort-gun PAGE -A HERALD AND NEWS, hlamain rails, uregon partment here In Washington.

Like death and taxes, it is inevi table. The Post Office Department takes in $94 million a year in third class mail revenue. It charges 2H cents apiece and next year the cost will go up to 23i cents. It probably could go much higher without discouraging the people who send out bulk mail. The wliole thing has become (irmly built into the structure of the American economy and its re moval would result in chaos and probably a sizeable number of bankruptcies. How It Works It works this way: There are firms such as R. L. Polk & Co., which keeps lists of persons by classification automobile own ers, pet lovers, fishermen, golfers, chefs, do - it - yourself carpenters, motorcycle riders and anvthine else you care to name. Say a manufacturer of fishing rods comes up with a new product. He goes to it. L. Polk and Co.. and rents their fisherman list and subsequently the advertising mat ter goes forward. In this case the third class mail is addressed to persons by name. But a soap com nanv. for instance, mav hlanket the country with third-class mail addressed only to "occupant. The size of a mailing by a busi ness concern can very widely. A lirm selling bull dozers may send but only 5,000 letters. A candy manufacturer may send out 60 million. And what about the re sponse? Many charitable and non profit organizations use third- class mail and they get the high est ratio of responses, sometimes as much as 75 per cent. Business firms which enclose coupons to be returned have achieved results as high as 20 per cent. But al most every user of third class mail considers it is a worth while investment if five per cent of the people respond in some fashion. The Post Office Department, of course, is strictly under the con trol of Congress which decides how much money shall be ap propriated each year. And Con gress itself is a great lover of bulk mail because its members can flood constituents with letters at no personal cost Gets Lump Sum This is known as "franking" land it is unnecessary to describe the contents of mail from con- Igrcssmen because everybody has had experience with it, especially in the weeks leading up to an election. In return for the privi lege of franking mail, Congress votes a lump sum each year to the Post Office. That makes it uinrciesaai y iui uie IJIUiVluual congressman to stand up and be counted as to how many pieces of mail he is dumping on the voters. Is there any way to get your name off mailing lists? Apparent ly not without considerable in convenience to yourself. Maxwell Sackheim of Clearwater, Fla., was advised by the St. Peters burg, Fla.. Post Office to write to the mailers and ask them to eliminate his name. In his reply, Sackheim gave the Post Office Department both bar rels: "You reveal a shocking ignor ance of modern business sales methods. To remove my name from mailing lists I would have to: Cancel my subscription to Time Magazine, Fortune, Forbes, Reader s Digest, Saturday Even- ng Post.

COPYRIGHT 1W. 10WI2. 11W3 SAfEWAY STORES INCORPORATED Stamp Mistake Caused Uproar WASHINGTON (UPIi - The Post Office Department sells about $3.5 million worth of spec ial and commemorative stamps to philatelists each year, and oc casionally geta up to its neck in hot water. Last year 400 stamps commemo rating tlie late Dag Hammars kjold were inadvertently printed with the yellow overlay upside down. Leonard Sherman of Irving ton, N.J. bought a block of 50 of them, and estimated he had something worth more than $250, 000. Then the Post Office Depart ment announced it would print 400,000 mora of the etampa with the aama mistake so el) coUec tors could get some.
