INCIDENTALLY, we've so Xar put about two billion dollars Into relief of Italy. Most of that was spent before this critical Italian election came along. From a victor to a vanquished enemy, lhat isn't bad. UNITED NATIONS, through Its Security Council, calls on the Jews and the Arabs to quit fight ing in Palestine, but it doesn't lell them what will happen if they don't. Suppose you went up to a Jouple of citizens Who were fight ing it out In the street and told Jhem piously to call it off. What would happen? Z They'd probably go on with their fight. I One fears that Is what will hnp 'pen in Palestine. r ' THE new five-power Western European bloc (Britain, France, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg) forms an INTER NATIONAL CABINET to enforce the military, political and eco nomic provisions of their union, i. Defense ministers of all five nations will meet whenever It is .necessary to carry out the mili tary provisions of the treaty they signed at Brussels In March. The five foreign ministers will meet at least every three months oftcner if necessary. WHY this united action? They all realize thot in the present emergency they must hang together or they will hung separately. In the same spirit, the United States of America was formed out of 13 weak, independent, "sovereign" colonies. Gum Machines to Raise Child Welfare Funds Pennv gum machines, sponsor ed by the Koselnug Klwanls dub to raise funds for child welfare, are being installed in Hoseburg this week, J. E. Slattery, chair man In charge, reported at the club meeting Tuesday. More than 100 machines are to be located In various places of business throughout the city dur ing the coming week. Several machines were set up on the tables at Tuesday's meeting, and the members were asked to start off the program by putting in their pennies. W. E. Klosterman, visiting Kl wanlan from Saltan, reported that less than 100 machines In his city are grossing over $100 a month. Several other Ort5fl cities are using this method for raising funds for child welfare work. The Roseburg club members alos make a weekly donation to the fund. Apprenticeship Council Will Meet Wednesday The Roseburg Apprenticeship Council will meet Wednesday at 7:30 p. m. In the II. S. Employ ment office. Jack Gordon, Salem, area supervisor fur veterans training on the Job work, is ex pected to be present. The local council of 12 mem bers, chnirmaned by George Fos ter, with Frank France, local trades and industrial supervisor, as secretary, approves veteran and adult apprenticeship casus over practically the entire county. A number of ne' veteran ap prenticeship cases, as well as new employers, will come up for con bidcration by the council. ACTIVE CLUB TO MEET The Active Club will meet to night at Carl's Haven on Garden Valley Road, across from the Vet erans Hospital. The monthly social evening, under the direo THE TAX OUTLOOK By CHARLES V. STANTON Good news for Roseburg taxpayers is found in the state ment by City Manager M. W. Slankard that even though the proposed municipal operating budget is higher than that of hist year, the rate of levy will be about three mills lower, providing the budget in its current form is voted at the forthcoming budget election. At the time the city manager form of government was initiated in Roseburg, the statement was made in this column that while city costs would increase, the manager would pay his own way over a period of time through more efficient operation of city affairs. The proposed 1948-49 budget indi cates that the manager has gone a considerable distance in that direction. Several factors, other than managerial efficiencies, of course, enter into the lower tax rate anticipated for next year. Chief in importance is increase in assessed valuation. While the new valuation has not been finally calculated, it is estimated that it will jump from $5,882,535 to at least $6,225,000. Contributing also to the tax rate reduction is a boost of approximately $6,000 in estimated receipts. This latter item, however, could be materially changed if the people so willed, for a substantial part of the anticipated ttppage in receipts is based upon calculated violations of traffic laws, coupled with better police enforcement. If everyone obeyed the traffic laws and put their nickels and pennies in the meters as they should, the manager might be disappointed in the matter of collecting fines, but, on the i other hand, the meter revenue would be boosted in propor tion, so the city would get the money either way. But the managerial department can account for at least a part of the budget improvement through tighter control over city expenditures, a more studied utilization of funds and a careful eye on the tax load, while still building up better efficiency through purchases of needed equipment and division of labor. A case in point is found in the proposed budget which groups Btreet work into four departments instead of three as previously. One department is set up to operate with money apportioned by the state, the money for this item ulready being on hand from current distributions. This makes possible an exclusive operation under separate budget heading, with division of material and equipment costs, ad ministrative expense, etc., thus cutting down the amount to be levied in taxes. Another departure in the proposed budget is that of a new park and pluyground department. Heretofore parks and playgrounds were carried in the recreation budget, with some of the costs being charged iigainst the street depart ment. The new budget item will result in a division of labor, specific assignments and direct responsibility which, .while adding' to total cost will be well worth the expense. in effi ciency and expansion of recreational facilities. Revenue from parking meters cannot be used for the city's general operating expense but only for traffic control. But under traffic control a segment of police costs can be trans ferred to the meter fund which reduces the amount to be raised by tax levy. No actual saving, of course, results be cause most property owners pay out as much in feeding traffic meters as they would pay in a direct levy. But at the same time some of the people from suburban areas, who get the benefit of city streets, are helping pay for traffic con trol, traffic safety, etc., while help also conies from tourists using the streets. The tax, in other words, is paid by the people benefitted, even though they are not residents of the city. But because the tax rate may decline slightly due to nu merous factors, Roseburg residents should not be lulled into a sense of false security. We face eventual necessities which will prove costly. We must have a program of street widening, construction of arterials, installation of traffic signals, etc. We must pre pare to separate drainage water from sanitary sewers and enlarge our sewage disposal plant. We need more and better street lighting. We should have airport improvements. An nexation of adjacent territory is certain to come and will re quire substantial increases in the operating budget although assessed valuation will not advance in corresponding ratio. Many other needs could be recited. These problems arc not being solved only postponed. We cannot anticipate getting back to what might be termed a "normal" tax level for a number of years, but it is possible we have passed the peak of rapid increase, which is welcome news, if true.
