Salem. —-Following precedent, the
legislature started on the final wook
of the 40-day session with the usual
jam of unfinished business. It seems
to bo a habit of legislatures to put
off final action on important measures
until the closing days.
Governor Pierce look occasion tn a
special message delivered to both
housee to call attention to the foot
that after being in session for M days
practically none of the legislation
recommended In hta inaugural address
bad been pasted.
Ths particular legislation that the
executive urged the legislature to ex­
pedite Included the income tax bill,
the consolidation measure, the series
ot taxation bills, several bills increas­
ing the tax on foreign corporations,
irrigation measures and a bill creating
a state market agent.
When the house and senate recon-
: vened Monday morning all the major
: measures remained to bo considered.
The Income tax, general tax revision,
consolidation of state departments, ap­
propriation bills, fish bills and Irriga­
tion and road leglalatloa were un­
settled.
The measures which have paarvd
beth houses are mostly unimportant
and of no great interact te the state
at large. During the first five weeks
205 bills were introduced in the senate
and 249 in the house, a total ot CM
measures. Slxty-flvo bills received the
approval of both houses; >6 senate
measures and >0 from the house.
Compromise Inooms Tan «III Appears.
A compromise income tax MU has
been introduced ia the Monee. The
measure provldee for a graduated rate
on personal leoomea and a flat rate
on business and corporation incomes
The exemptions are similar te those
provided ia the federal income tax
law and the tax on personal Incomes
will range from one to ten par cent,
while the corporate and bustaoM tax
will bo four per cent.
A feature ot thia bHl la the exemp­
tion granted to owners of real prop­
erty.
Both the individual and the bnsi-
noM schedule carries a right ot deduc­
tion covering all taxes paid other than
Inheritance taxes, income taxes of the
state and taxes assessed for local ben­
efits of a hind tending to Increase the
value ot the property aaaoaeod.
It is also provided, however, that
further deduction of “the fair rental
value of all real estate owned** by the
taxpayer may bo made from the gross
earnings, provided that such deduc­
tion does not exceed < per cent of
the assessed value of the property.
The same deduction runs to the busi­
ness schedule as well aa te the Indi­
vidual.
