Election Plans
SALEM (UPD Machinery for
a special election Oct. 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

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

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.

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

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-

a return envelope and two pieces
of literature. It was from an or
ganization I'd never heard of and
I would never dream of contribu
ting to it."
Mrs. Richard invited her neigh
bors to help and tliey responded
by filling up her clothes basket,
her garbage can, several card
board cartons and a large box. Off

ton where it landed with a dull
thud. Nothing happened. Mr.
Richard is still getting "junk
mail" and will continue to do so. .
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-

ican Home, Better Homes & Gar
dens, the Flower Grower and a
dozen other publications.
