Property Tax Dwindles As Source Of State Revenues WASHINGTON. April 7 UP A squint at America's $14,300 000.000 tax collections for 1040 today showed mounting revenue from betting and sales taxes and declining returns from levies on real property and Inheritances. Federal, state and local taxes produced $8,248,000,000 in the 48 states In 1032. From 186 In 1932. per capita taxation rose to I09 in 1940, the commerce department re ported. Of the $4,171,000,000 collect ed by the 48 states in 1940, Ore gon's share was $31,825,000. Tho department attributed the greater tax yield to increased business activity and to a 6 per cent rise In national Income. "Betting taxes show an in crease of 23 per cent In 1940 over 1939 but the absolute amount of this Increase was only slightly over $2,300,000, tho re port said. The totnl revenue for 1940 was $13,033,000 in the 14 states in which the tax was col lected. Oregon collected $119,000. "Increased tnx collections In 1940 over 1939 were reported for 21 specific categories of taxes, while a decrease occurred in only one type thot on inheri tances, estates and gifts," the re port related. Tho decline was $13,000,000, or 11 per cent. "Overshadowing in absolute volume all other Increases in tax yields was a $30,000,000 rise in general sales tnx collections," the report continued. The total was $1,847,373, an Increase of 11.4 percent over 1939. Collection of $97,052,000 on sales taxes on tobacco showed tho largest percentage Increase, 63.2 per cent, or approximately $38,000,000. States which did not Impose tobacco tax in 1940 included Oregon and there was no general sales taxes In Oregon, but 27 other states paid $490,187,000. All states have some form of sales tax, such as motor fuels on which taxpayers In the 48 states paid $845,421,000 in 1940. No general real property tax was reported by seven states, in cluding Oregon. The 41 other states reported collections from this source totaled $170,672,000. Whereas 1919 property taxes accounted for 49 per cent of the total state tax collections," the report commented, "in 1940 this tax yielded only a little more than 6 per cent of the total state tax collections or 8 per cent of all stato tax collections, if unem ployment compensation tax is excluded. "In almost direct Inversion, sales taxes, which were general ly unknown in 1919, furnished in 1940 as much as 40 per cent of all collections, and 50 per cent of all collections exclusive of the unemployment compensation tax." "The relative Importance of the property tax to total - state tax collections has been steadily declining sinco the turn of tho 20th century. Most of this change occurred In tho past 25 years." In volume, and second only to the sales taxes, camo tho unem ployment compensation tax, which amounted to 20.2 per cent of the total collected by states, or $843,588,000. All but Rhode Island have al coholic beverages taxes, and that source produced $199,868,000 in 1940. Income taxes reported by 35 states total $357,904,000. 53 DRAFTEES TQ BE IN TH CALL SALEM. April 7 fP) Oregon will provide 53 draftees for the army on April 24 and 25, state selective service headquarters has announced.

April 21-23, during which 50 men will report. After the seventh call, Oregon will have supplied 2253 men for the army. If the state s present quota of 2806 for the year end ing June 30 is unchanged, the state will have to supply 553 additional men by June 30. There probably will be no call In May. Memorial Address For Harry Lane Given By Sen. Nye PORTLAND, April 7 (ZD Tho vote of Oregon's Senator Harry Lane against tho United States' entry In to-, the first world war was not in vain, Sena tor Gerald P. Nye (P-N. N.) de clared at memorial services for the late senator here yesterday. "If a nation can continue to remember these sacrifices con tinue to pay tribute to Ameri cans who have dared to try to afford a leadership, then tho ef fort can bo counted never to have been in vain," Nye said: Lane was one of the bIx sena tors who voted against a declara tion of war on Germany.

NEW YORK, April 7 VP) A continued upswing In retailing was reported Friday by Dun Ic Bradstreet in its weekly re view of trade conditions'. The approach of Easter," said the mercantile agency, added impetus to the move ment, but retailers were espe cially cheered by the evidence that buying extended well be yond holiday and seasonal lines. "Buoyancy In retail trade was matched by the continued heavy flow of orders into wholesalers' and manufacturers' hands. In dustry improved slightly on its all-time record pace. . . . "Trade surged above last year's level with one of the sharpest gains recorded in re cent years. Spectacular in creases in department and ap parel stores, wnicn were sui- feriug from a post-Easter slump at this time a year ago, help ed to carry the general sales level 13 to 18 per cent above that for the 1940 week. "Some centers, usually in in dustrial areas handling heavy defense orders, reported sales Increases ranging up to SO per cent. "Year-to-year percentage com parisons for major regions of the country were estimated as follows: New England, 8 to 13; east, 14 to 20; south and middle west, 18 to 23; southwest, 13 to 18; northwest. 9 to 12; Pa cific coast, 10 to 16." OF HOGS TOLD WASHINGTON. April 7 M" President Roosevelt described Friday as primarily a stabiliza tion matter the agriculture de partment s move to peg hog and dairy products prices to stimu late production and enable this country to send food abroad. He told a press conference that in the case of hogs the desire was to provide reason able assurance to hog growers that if they feed more corn to hogs they would get a reason able price for the meat. He said the aim was to en courage fattening of hogs and the use of corn, and that he believed the farmers would go ahead In that direction. The same objective, he said, was in mind as to butter, eggs, and other like products. Mr. Roosevelt added that the gov ernment wanted to assure those who turn heifers into milk cows that they would get a reasonable price for their milk. The price pegging program contemplates government pur chases in the commodity mar kets sufficient to keep the prices at the following (Chicago) levels: Hogs $9 per 100 pounds: but ter, 31 cents a pound; chickens. 15 cents per pound; eggs, 22 cents a dozen. The minimum prices will be subject to the customary market differentials as to grades and points of pur chase.

The case history of Bill and his efforts to get into the army include: As a meter and appliance man he applied for enlistment in the signal corps and was notified he might be called momentarily. No call came so he checked with his draft board and was told he probably would be con scripted April 7. On March 22 he and his mother started a two-week va cation trip to California. They hadn't much more than left than Bill's father received a notifica tion that Bill was to report for duty Immediately. Several men had been rejected and Bill's num ber was up. Bill's dad burned the telegraph wires for 24 hours before he lo cated his son )t Yosemite. Bill cut short the vacation and started home. A couple hours later Bill's dad learned from the draft board that volunteers had again de layed the date of Bill's probable Induction. Bill's father failed to intercept his son with another flood of telegrams. Bill arrived home lately to learn that he could have kept on vacationing. But it turned out Just as well, about that time the draft board sent another communication that some of the volunteers didn't pass examination and Bill prob ably will be inducted Into the service April 7, after all.

The Golden Text was, "Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highmlnded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God. who giveth us richly all things to enjoy" Q Timothy 6:17). Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from ' the Bible: "And God spare all these words, saying. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath. or that is in the water under tha earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them" (Exodus 20:1,4,5). The Lesson-Sermon also in cluded the following correlative passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip tures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "A mo rtal, corporeal, or finite con ception of God cannot embrace the glories of limitless, incor unsatisfied human craving for poreal Life and Love. Hence the somehting better, higher, holler, than is affored by a material be lief in a physical God and man The insufficiency of this belief to supply the true idea proves the falsity of material belief (258:1-8).

Rat reductions were request ed of the Union Pacific and other carriers by th Idaho state commission and Idaho po tato growers, to open new markets for th state's potato surplus. The ICC already had acceded to the carriers' request that lower rates be established oa short notice, the first today and other schedules April and sub sequently. The EUensburg Potato Ship pers association, supported by the Yakima chamber of com merce and other groups, pro tested to the commission that th reductions would interfere with marketing of Washington's own surplus and asked that the sched ules be suspended. The commission reviewed th protest and refused to suspend, thus allowing the new rata to take effect as scheduled. An ICC spokesman said Washington growers still had th right to file normal complaint.
