Aa a service to veterans in the
community, this newspaper will
publish a weekly column of ques­
tions meet frequently asked con­
tact men of the Veterans Admin­
istration in this area. For more
detailed
information,
veterans
should contact or write to the
nearest VA contact unit at P. 0.
Bldg., Rm. 216, Longview.
Q. Under the recent changes
to the National Service Life In­
surance bill I have designated
that my insurance be paid in a
lump sum. If my beneficiary pre­
fers monthly payments, can such
arrangements be made?
A. The beneficiary may change
the form of payment, provided it
is to extend over a longer period
of time. The payment period can-
mot be shortened. Thus, if you
specify lump sum payment, your
beneficiary can request equal
monthly installments of from 36
to 240, in multiples of 12 (three
years is the minimum period of
payment other than the lump
sum).
Q. Is it necessary for me as
a widow of World War II veteran
to file a separate claim fop my
child?
A. No.
Q. I am homesteading and wish
to get a loan for farm equipment.
Is it possible under the G.I. bill ?
Yes. Loans may bo guaranteed
or insured for operating capital
for the purchase of farm personal
property and all ordinary farming
purposes except construction.
Loans for construction purposes,
including construction of a home,
farm house, or place of business
may not be guaranteed or insured
until the veteran acquires such
title as will enable him to give
a valid first lien on the realty.

SUMMER COUNTY ROAD
OILING HITS 50.5 MILES
HILLSBORO—Fifty and a half
miles ot Washington county roads
were oiled during the summer sea­
son with 25 carloads of R.C.-35
(rapid cure) used.
The oiling
program was centered on mainten­
ance due to conditions.
The county had planned to oil
80 miles during the season which
opened July 6 but fell short of
the goal because of the lack of
time and money.

son at the city’s three processing
plants. Although the crop is ex­
pected to be from 40 to 50 per
cent lower than last year in this
region, indications are that de­
mands for dressed birds will be
very high and that turkeys killed
at the local plants will be of ex­
ceptionally fine quality.
The three McMinnville plants
now killing turkeys are North­

A NEW AND ADDITIONAL INCOME TAX (3%) on all checks total-
ling more than $100 monthly, will become effective July 1, 1947, if the
Initiative measure (314 Yes, 315 No) sponsored by the Townsend groups
is approved by the voters of Oregon at the November 5 general election.

This 3% tax would apply to all gross
income of wages and salary earners, farm­
ers and businesses (excepting only non­
profit organizations) WITHOUT ANY
PERSONAL EXEMPTIONS OR DE­
DUCTIONS other than $100 gross in­
come per month. It could apply also on
income from insurance benefits and earn­
ings on savings and investments if, with
your wage or salary or sales of products
your total income was $100 a month or
more. Farmers and business men would
have to pay 3% on their gross income
even if they operated at a LOSS. It is not
a tax on profits alone. It IS a tax on
Gross Income!
The measure, if passed, would require?

EMPLOYERS COULD BE OBLIGED

WITHHOLD THE TAX FROM EM­

This measure is a fantastic SPECIAL
PURPOSE TAX SCHEME, promising
$100 a month at 60 years of age to every­
body, WHETHER THEY NEED IT
OR NOT, if they agree to remain idle and
spend the $100 in 30 days. The money
could not be for any other purpose to re­
duce other state or Federal taxes unless
a surplus developed, if ever. NO OTHER
STATE HAS SUCH A SPECIAL PUR­
POSE TAX. It is a tax that would wreck
Oregon’s economy, driving business out
of the state and destroying jobs.
