U.Oe" OTxf..!.T33AST osh.so.AMj Messrs cxv. C02P. In The J Day's lews i By FRANK JENKINS From Salem this morning: The house of representatives of the Oregon legislature ' non assembled in special session I voted approval yesterday of a bill that would put $12 million into the slate's general-fund in this biennium ia biennium is two years i by requiring some employers to remit employees' withholding tax money monthly instead of quarterly. The bill now goes to the sen ate. What about this withholding tax? How does it work? . Why will it put $12 million into the state's general' fund? It's like this: Both Uncle and the s t a t e s love their payroll children both on account of their votes and on account of the TAXES they pay. But thev don't trust them IMPLICITLY to pay their tax es when the taxes are due. So they require their share of the employees' earnings to be taken out of their paychecks each week and remitted to them by the employer. The employer lakes the mon ey out each week. In the past, he has remitted it only every three months. Meanwhile, he has had the USE of it. Under the new law. he will have to remit as soon as the tax is taken out of the employ ees' checks. So, under the new law, he will no longer be able to use this withheld money as working capital or for any oth er purpose. If he needs more working capital, he will have to borrow it and pay interest on it. Under the proposed new law, t h e STATE will have the use of this withheld wage money. The state claims that use of this withheld money will save it $12 million a year, or $1 mil lion a month. '. Also proposed, as a means of raising more money, is a four cent - a package cigarette tax bill. It will go to the house floor today, this morning's dis patches tell us, on a divided committee report. The committee majority wants the expected $9 million estimated to come from the tax during the biennium to go into the basic school fund. The min ority wants the money to go into the general fund without ear marking, so that it can be used Jpr any purpose needed. ,7 What of a cigarette tax? It has two advantages. It's always paid up. You pay your share of it every time you buy a package of cigarettes. So, you don't have to scratch around to raise your share of it when tax paying time comes. It gets a lot of feathers from the goose without too much squawking. You pay it a few pennies at a time, and so don't miss the money so much. And- You can always escape it. ' All you need to do to escape it (perfectly legally) is to QUIT . SMOKING. These questiohs in conclusion: What do the people of Ore gon want as indicated by their voting on October 15? More new taxes to raise more money? Or LESS SPENDING, so that LESS MONEY will have to be raised by taxation? They are interesting ques tions. Fight Fire With Fire PORTLAND i UP!

But the momentum could break down again. Key measures advanced with shotgun rapidity Wednesday. And, party caucuses in the House and Senate laid the groundwork for swift passage of the governor's two-part program: A ?12 million speed-up in with holding tax payments, and the power to clip the money tho slate has budg eted to help local schools. The House, suspending rules to speed the job. passed the one shot withholding tax measure and sent it to the Senate. The Joint Ways and Means Iraqi Foes Struggle For Power BEIRUT. Lebanon (UPI A bitter power struggle appeared today to be in progress in Iraq. Baghdad Radio sajd Foreign Minister Taleb' Hussein Shabib, Interior Minister Hazcm Jawad and six other prominent offi cials were deported to Lebanon as part of a plan by the nation al command of the Baath party government to settle the cur rent crisis. Their deportation followed an attack Wednesday by at least one Iraqi air force jet on the presidential palace and reports of street fighting in Baghdad. Shabib and Jawad were among the leaders of a faction within the Baath party that have been engaged in a sharp series of disagreements with Deputy Premier Saleh El Saadi, long considered the real power in Iraq. Saadi arrived secretly in Ma drid Tuesday and said today from the Spanish capital that he hoped to return home Tin the near future" because both the Baath party and the people back him. Saadi, who carries a pistol wherever he goes, is considered the leader of the extremist wing of the Baath. He favors a government that would exclude all other parties from participation in ruling Iraq. Baghdad Radio said life in the capital returned to normal today following Wednesday's disturbances, which appeared to have been much less bloody than reiorled. There was no information available on casualties. Baghdad Radio said telephone and telegraph services and the airport have geen reopened. The crushing of the short lived uprising was seen as a victory for the moderate fac tion of tlie Raath party. Barghoorn. The United States States has protested vigorously against Harghoorn's arrest, calling espionage charges against him "groundless." The American ambassador in Moscow, Foy D. Kohlor, was advisxd Wednesday of the White House decision and early today cabled Washington that he was in complete agreement with the action. Kennedy's decision cancelled the departure, scheduled for to day, of a 10-man American del egation headed by Frank G.

SALEM iUPI - Moves to curb the activities of the Board of Higher Education rapidly gained momentum Wednesday as lawmakers openly attacked what they termed "arbitrary and capricious" attitudes. And Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. revealed he had aked a series of opinions from the attorney general on higher Price Ten Cents 28 Pages Committee approved and sent to the House floor (or action the bill empowering the governor to cut basic school support. House Democrats and Rcpub. licans caucused for a briefing on the basic school legislation. Signs were it had more thnn enough votes to pass. Senate Democrats caucused and although opposing any "new or additional taxes," exempted the one-shot bill and indicated it could pass. Senate Republi cans indicated they supported the governor's two bills and op posed any new taxes. That left what looked like a clear road ahead for Gov. Mark Hatfjcld's two bills all he said he needed to cope with the date's $60 million fiscal crisis that was caused when the vot ers defeated the tax package passed Inst spring. Kallield al ready has cut budgets in areas where he has the power. Mechanically, the special ses sion could end in a day. if the two houses suspended rules and let Ihc governor's two bills com plete their courses. Senate President Ben Musa, however, said Tuesday was a good guess. He said he opposed rushing legislation through the Senate. Hitches could develop. Also awaiting House action was a four-cent a pack cigarette tax bill approved Wednesday by the House Tax Committee. The committee continued hear ings on a sales tax bill. Proponents of these measures insisted the legislature should take more than a stop - gap route. However, the sales and cigar ette tax proposals appeared lo be traveling a dead end route. Even if one of them passed the House, Sen. Thomas Ma hnncy, D-Portland, said there were enough votes to kill it or any other "new tax" measure in the Senate. Caucus reports bore this out. A Ways and Means subcom mittee continued hearings on a bill to reduce the salaries of legislators and other state offi cials. An undercurrent dispute kept running over how much leeway the governor should be given in reducing budgets. This dispute included a new assault on education and higher education. Senators called for legislation to curb the powers of the Board of Higher Education and to probe education at all levels. The one-shot bill would re quire about 7.000 employers to lurn over payroll withholding taxes to the state on a monthly instead of a quarterly basis, adding an extra two months of paymenls lo the state treasury during the 1963-65 biennium. The cigarette and sales lax measures both call for rclerrals to the voters.

Legislature Denies Veto By Hatfield SALEM (UPI I - The Oregon legislature overrode a veto Wednesday for the first time in Gov. Mark Hatfield's career and the first lime since 1047. The Senate joined the Huuse in voting lo override, a vote that takes a two-thirds major ity. The senate vole was unani mous. The House vote, a day earlier, was 46-12. By the action, the legislature took a double cuff at Hatfield. Not only did it pass the bill over his veto, but the bill itself extends the arm of the legisla ture a little farther into the af fairs of the executive branch. Tlie bill is aimed at the not-always-popular rules and regu lations issued hy agencies in the executive branch. In cases of complaint, it lets the legislative counsel investigate the rules and make recommendations to the legislature. Members of Hatfield's own Republican Party carried the motion lo override in both hous es. Ilalficld objected, in his veto message, that Uie bill was con trary to separation of the Icgis lalivc and executive branches of government. Legislators denied it. It is the legislature that delegates rule making power lo the agencies in the lu st place. In his five years as governor, Hatlield has issued 41 vetoes. Thirty-three have been sustained one overridden, and seven aie pending. into higher education's policy making and auditing procedures. Launch a probe into the De partment of Education's rule-; and regulations.

Mark Hatfield has or Stop-Sap To Be Ready By September Tho school wilf' include two gymnasiums, a library and about 40 classrooms when com pleted. Dr. Robinson said Ihc school is designed to be built in five phases and the rapidity of Ihc construction of the phases will depend on the increases in school population.
