Young' I disgree, rather it would destroy the system of checks and balances. Under One Office' Coe It would bring all street assessment collection handling under one office rather than two as it now is. Young We're, headed that direction anyway. Coe concluded his letter, which was solicited by Francis for use as representative of the Oregon State Sheriffs' Association in battling the bill, by saying he does not personally seek added responsibilities imposed by being tax collector.

The Oregon Senates Taxation Committee refused Friday to ta ble the so-called "Blackjack Bill to -deprive out-of-state residents of the right to take the 5 per cent standard deduction in fig uring Oregon income tax. The House-passed bill would in crease taxes paid by Vancouver, residents who work in Oregon. Kill Proposed Sen. Boyd Overhulse, D-Ma-dras, chairman, proposed that the committee kill the' bill, inasmuch as Washington's legislature now has voted for reciprocity in -lus-trial accident insurance. But Sen.

Walter J. Pearson, D-Portland, objected. He said he wants the bill passed because "It's about time we did something to the state of Washington, instead of just sitting back and taking what they throw at us." Portland Trucks Taxed Pearson objected that Washington is taxing gasoline in Portland-based delivery trucks, even ginia the sheriff acts as treasurer. Coe The treasurer could make advances to taxing districts ahead of tax turnovers based on percentages, thus eliminating expensive borrowing by districts. Young Advances are already being made to districts.

Coe It would eliminate banks having to post collateral to two offices in the county for; the same money. 'No County Cost' Young There is no cost to the county for this service. Coe The merging of the two offices would eliminate some duplication of work and allow faster processing to get tax money to districts.

Young I question this. Coe It would do away with one office, thus merging use of equipment and produce a savings. Young It wouldn't do away with one office.

Marion County Treasurer Robert Coe Jr.

triggered the action with a letter to former State State Sen. Carl Francis of Dayton stating, "I favor I tax collecting in the treasurer's hands." He backed up his opinion with a list of advantages' which "in my opinion would, be made by giving tax collection to the treasurers." First and foremost among them was the contention that had tax collections since last Nov. 15 been received by bis daily he could have "on a very conservative basis earned over $20,000. Sheriff Takes Issue "This revenue would have aid for the entire budget of the treasurer's office. It would have been a credit as revenue earned and thus been a lessening of the tax burden on property." Sheriff Denver Young, however, took issue with this, stating that there is a question whether the treasurer would have the right to put money out for loan before an official turnover is made.

"The law provides that money be turned over on the 10th of each month," Young said, "starting Dec. 10." He pointed out that under the law he has been required to make four turnovers, yet he- has already made seven, including two last November. Other Coe arguments and Young replies: 'Five Other States' Coe--As I understand it, Oregon is the only state left in the Union in which the sheriff has this (tax collection) function. Young In five other states the sheriff collects taxes, and in another two Illinois and West Vir- Committee Spli its on Bus Smoking Bill The Senate commerce and utilities committee voted Friday to send a bill to the Senate floor allowing smoking in buses in Ore gon but it recommended against passage of the bill. This unusual action came after the committee split down the middle on the bill.

Two members voted to put the bill on the floor with a recommendation for passage, and two opposed it. Sen. Alfred H. Corbett, D-Port-land, and Sen. Glen Stadler, D-Eugene, voted against recommending such a bill.

Corbett smokes a pipe or rolls his own cigarettes. Stadler is a non-smoker. Sens. Thomas R. Mahoney, D-Portland, and Andrew J.

Naterlin, D-Newport, both were strongly in favor of the bill. They smoke cigars. Sen. Walter J. Pearson, D-Port-land, appeared before the committee to testify for the bill.

He said it was needed to overrule a public utilities commissioner ruling against smoking in buses. James Singleton, transportation director for the commissioner, said the ban has been imposed on and off since 1939. He admitted under questioning that some bus drivers have been erroneously tell ing passengers that the ban is Oregon law when it is only an administrative ruling. Ambulance Law Repealed Gov. Mark Hatfield signed into law Friday the repeal of the ill- fated ambulance certification law.

After this law was passed by the legislature, the State Board of Health adopted regulations for requirements for ambulances, and promptly brought a storm of controversy. Much of the protest came from volunteer ambulance services or those operated by small communities. They said the requirements would not permit them to run ambulance services. Chemawa Boy Hurt A 14- year -old Chemawa boy, Timothy Stearns, was taken to Salem Memorial Hospital by Willamette ambulance Friday morning for treatment of rib injuries received in a two-car collision. He later was released.

Sheriffs deputies said a car driven by the youth's father, Ernest I. Stearns, collided with a car driven by John W. Schifferer, 797 Hawthorne Ave. NE, at Market Street NE and Evergreen Avenue NE. Re-Designing Present Stock of Railing and Columns 40 OFF 1225 20th St.

Whelan sponsored the standard deduction bill as a weapon to force the Washington legislature to vote for industrial accident insurance reciprocity. calendar to save time, unnecessary explanations of bills and needless questions.

House Speaker Clarence Barton said Friday. The purpose of the plan is to pass non-controversial bills with out debate and without roll calls. Under the plan, only one roll call will be needed to pass several bills at once. Each committee, when reporting out a bill, can send it to the rules committee with recommendation that it be put on the consent calendar. It will go on this calendar if no member of the House objects.

Each member will get another chance to object when the consent bills are on the House floor for action. Barton made his announcement after Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton said the plan is legal.

He said Congress and several states, including California and Idaho, operate under a similar plan. Barton said it would save considerable time. The Senate won't adopt a plan like this. Senate President Ben Musa said it isn't needed because the Senate is so small that there is no problem. OBITUARIES and Mid-Willamette Roy A.

Four Budgets Recommended By Committee The Joint Ways and Means Committee of Oregon's Legislature recommended four budgets for passage Friday two of them as recommended by Gov. Mark O. Hatfield. The committee so far has shown an inclination to be stingy with Hatfield's budget requests. The committee recommended a general fund appropriation of for the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry as Hatfield requested; and a budget of for the State Board of Engi neering Examiners.

The committee cut $500 from the State Board of Auctioneers request and recommended a budget of $127,940 for the State Board of Pharmacy, which was $19,000 less than asked.

NLRB Ruling Finds Engineer Union Guilty In a second reversal of a 1959 ruling, the National Labor Relations Board Friday ruled that the Hoisting and Portable Engineers Union was guilty of unfair labor practices in Oregon's big 1959 construction strike. The NLRB reversed its own decision and accepted the contention of Cascade Employers Association, Salem.

The original NLRB decision which was reversed Friday had itself reversed a decision of an NLRB trial examiner, who held with the Cascade Employers. The Friday order directs the union to cease attempts to get employer' members of Cascade to bargain individually rather than as a group. It also directs the union to throw out individual contracts made with three employers in separate negotiations. They are Corvallis Sand Gravel Eugene Sand Gravel and Wildish Sand it Gravel Co. of Eugene.

The NLRB ruled that the union had attempted to settle with those three employers by getting them to break away from Cascade Employers Association. Disputes in 1959 held up construction for several weeks, as the. union struck the Willamette Valley Sand and Gravel operators, represented by Cascade. $80,700 Order NEWBERG Spaulding Pulp and Paper Co. at Newberg has received an $80,700 order for wood pulp being sold oversees under the U.S.
