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

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.

he was in complete agreement

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
