OREGON (Continued From Page 1) Taxed on Gains Received The federal law provides that the seller is not obligated to pay any more, except on the gain that he may have already realized and received from payments already made. This is only fair, but until this time Oregon has required full income tax payment. When the governor signs HB 1200 Ore gon will be in step with the fed eral law. HB 1127 is a “permissive” bill, but we have noticed that most “permissive” laws have a habit of becoming “mandatory” laws in a short time. Under HB 1127, school districts will be permitted to provide free textbooks in all public schools for all students in grades 1 through 12. Free textbooks are already provided for the first eight grades for public schools only. The ini tial cost of this program will be over $3 million, and the annual replacement costs per year will be about $1 million. Illustration of Increasing Taxes Of course, it will be up to the school boards to decide whether they will increase school taxes on property by providing these free books, but the pressure will be intense upon them to do so. De spite the legislature’s constant pronouncements of its intention to keep down taxes, this is an il lustration of legislation that will have only the effect of increasing local property taxes. Students who cannot afford textbooks are already provided the free use of such books, as is true with free lunches. However, testimony disclosed that the books now provided for students are re turned in a deplorable condition and usually not fit for re-use. HB 1127 has passed both houses and will become law upon the governor’s signature. The vote in the Senate was 15-14 for passage. Sixteen votes are necessary to pass a bill, but before announce ment of the tally, one senator changed his vote from “No” to “Aye” and thus HB 11'27 will be come law. Inventory Taxes "Phased Out" The House passed HB 1498 by a vote of 38-22. This is the fam ous “Inventory Tax” bill. It pro vides that over a five-year period inventory taxes will be eliminat ed with 20 percent “phased out” each year. Livestock and farm equipment are included. Consequently, at the end of five years there will be no ad valorem CLEAN-UP And you can bet Eder Building Supply will have all the materials you need, whether to clean up yards, vacant lots, ditches, spray dandelions or what-not . . .

F. Voris, president of Treasure Valley Community col lege in Ontario, and Dr. John J. Mirich, chairman of the Depart ment of Law Enforcement at the college, have authored a national article in the Police Journal. The title of the article is “Recognition of Local Law Enforcement as a Profession: The Time Has Surely Come.” The authors call for police sci ence schools in every tax-sup ported junior college, college and university in the land, if local enforcement is to serve as a de terrent to crime. They point out that professional gangsters, na tionally, are more prone to violate local than federal laws in that they have the respect for the ap prehension abilities of federal of ficers. Further, they point out that police science (especially finger printing, microscopic evidence, spectographic evidence, ballistics, etc.) is so complex that untrained officers cannot possibly under stand it even in a lifetime of police experience. Experience is very important—but not as im portant as police training and education. Real Estate Women Schedule Card Party Malheur County Women Real tors’ annual bridge and pinochle party will be held at 8 o’clock Friday evening, April 9, at the women’s clubhouse in Ontario, it is announced by Mrs. Gene Ches ter, president of the group. Proceeds from the party will go toward a business scholarship for a Malheur county senior girl. Musical entertainment will be provided by Nyssans Carol and Mary Pond, John Wohlcke and Alan Cottle. A door prize will be awarded and dessert will be served. Tickets may be obtained from any member or purchased at the door. tax upon merchandise inven tories, livestock and farm equip ment. It will require about $18 million a year to replace the money lost by the repeal. HB 1498 proposes a 1 percent tax upon all business, except banks and utilities to partially make up this loss. Everyone agrees that the in ventory tax is inequitable. How ever, it is apparent that the Sen ate is not enthralled by the meth od of replacing the loss produced by the repeal. One-of the propo sals has been that the 1 percent additional tax apply to all income, whether from business or salaries, that exceeds $5,000. This would require all net income in excess of $5,000 to share the loss incur red by inventory tax repeal, and it would make up the full loss rather than only a part. Expects "Fur to Fly" Some senators maintain that there is no equity in taxing a lawyer, accountant or professional man who is in private practice while not imposing a tax upon a lawyer, accountant or profes sional who is employed by a large corporation at a far higher annual income than the private practi tioner. They also feel that the executives of banks and big cor porations and high-salaried col lege professors should bear their share of the loss caused by inven tory tax repeal. Time will tell, but certainly the fur will fly in the Senate. A constitutional amendment to be submitted to the people (Sen ate Joint Resolution No. 12) has passed the Senate. It will auth orize the Veterans’ Administra tion of Oregon to loan up to $16,- 500 on homes and $40,000 on farms to all veterans who have resided in Oregon for five years despite the state of their origin. The days are getting longer and we are working harder and harder. We hope to make this session at least 30 days shorter than the 1963 session.
