SALEM SCENE
Legislative Report from the State Capital
EXCLUSIVE to Oregon's Weekly Newspa-
pers from Associated Oregon industries.
BUSINESS CLIMATE STUDY
ONE KEY TO IMPROVEMENT
That Oregon's business climate remains poor was
hardly news to vast numbers of unemployed workers,
struggling employers and lawmakers vainly trying to
match state spending with dwindling revenue in Salem.
But there are those who consider results of the most
recent national Alexander Grant business climate study
a handy blueprint for long range improvement of the
state's economy.
The study measures general manufacturing business
climate in each of the 48 contiguous states and
compares all states on the basis of scores achieved in 22
categories. It is conducted by the Chicago-based
national accounting firm at the behest of the Con-
ference of State Manufacturer's Associations
(COSMA). Associated Oregon Industries is this state's
COSMA affiliate.
AOI Pres. Ivan Congleton said the current study
finds Oregon in 36th place w a ranking that is strikingly
similar to results achieved in previous years since 1975.
A study conducted by the Fantus Corporation that
year found Oregon in 40th place. Alexander Grant

"Although the Grant firm cautions against corn- I ~x*-
paring results of the various studies because different I
criterion have been used in each," Congleton said, "it I
is significant that Oregon remains in the bottom fourth [ ~C~e
of all states regardless of the yardsticks used toI t~t"
measure our business climate."
The AOI leader said the current study utilized 22
factors established by consensus among manufacturing
executives, government agencies, business associa-
tions, academia, news media and others. Each factor is
quantifiable, does not require subjective interpreta-
tions and is obtainable from credible, publicly available
data for all 48 states.
"'This is not to imply that other factors are not
important when it comes to expanding or relocating an
existing manufacturing facility or establishing a new
industry," Congleton said. "But it does provide an
important initial step for manufacturers in determining

The business association executive believes study
results should be an important tool for those involved in
Gov. Vic Atiyeh's efforts to promote economic recov-
ery. And in a number of instances, legislative action
would go far toward, improving the state's business
climate.
"Diversification of Oregon's industrial base is
important." Congleton said, "but it would be ex-
tremely unwise to concentrate efforts in that direction
at the expense of current job producers."
Florida, Texas and Colorado are the top three states
in the newest study. And while Oregon ranks 36th, only
Washington (37th) received a lower score among ad-
jacent states. California scored 26th, Idaho 14th and
Nevada 13th.

Oregonians who sold their homes after July 20, 1981
have 24 months to purchase a new home and still
postpone tax on the gain, reports T. Blair Evansr~IRS ~)
District Director in Oregon. This change means that an
individual has an extra 12 months (six months before
and six months after) the sale to purchase the new
residence.
According to Evans, the extension of the rein-
vestment period also applies to sales before July 21, ju
1981 if the 18-month replacement period did not expire ' th
before July 21. For example, an individual who sold a i th
home on December 10, 1980 would have 24 months to i
purchase a new home because the original 18-month ' is
roll-over period expires on June 1O, 1982, after the July ~ e~
20, 1981 date. C,
Evans added that in order to postpone all tax on the ! s(
gain, the cost of the new residence must be the same or i c(
more than the adjusted selling price of the old home. : R,
Adjusted selling price is generally the sales price, less 4~
selling expenses, i
i
Evans stressed that the tax on the gain is postponed, ~ d~
not forgiven. Any gain realized on a sale reduces the I sn
cost basis in the new home. When the new home is~ [
sold, the gain on that transaction would include the~
gain on the previous sale. ~ ir
Home sales are reported on the federal income~~
return for the year of sale, regardless of when the new i b
home is purchased. Homeowners should use form 2119,
"Sale or Exchange of Principal Residence." Any
taxable gain is reported on schedule D of form 1040.
More information on the sale of a home is available in
IRS Publication 523, "Tax Information on Selling Your
Home." This free publication may be obtained by using
the order form included in IRS tax packages or by
calling the IRS forms number listed in the local
telephone directory.
