2 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore Wed., Jan. 4, 1950 Sen. Taft Trying To Halt Donations For Campaign WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-0P) Senator Taft (R-Ohio) added something new to the political pattern by trying to halt cam paign contributions. The lull story of a unique sort of fund raising drive came to light with Taft's assertion that he is trying to discourage a nation-wide chain letter campaign. Taft told reporters in Cincin nati Friday that he and his aides had nothing to do with and are trying to stop chain let ters asking recipients (a) to do nate $1 to the Ohioan's re-election expenses and (b) to send the letter on to 10 other persons. Friends of Taft here said the idea was hatched by well-wishers who have come to regard the Ohio senator as "Mr. Republi can and who want to be sure he has funds for an all-out cam ' paign. Taft himself has charged that organized labor plans to spend "millions" to defeat him In the Ohio race next year. Labor Is after his scalp largely because he sponsored the Taft-Hartley act passed by the Republican 80'h Congress and had a big hand in preventing its repeal in the last session. The AFL and the CIO have asked members to donate $1 each, with indications that a hef ty chunk of this cash would be used in Ohio.. Some business men have re taliated by starting Interstate fund raising drives for Taft. As a result, contribution!, are report ed to have been coming in to Taft headquarters from all over the country. Yvonne E. Weatherall Of Glendalt Passes Yvonne E.

Roseburg Planned (Continued from Page One) panded needs. It would have to be handled as a general obligation of the city. The survey was authorized as requested in petitions submitted by West Roseburg residents at the last council meeting asking that the sewers be installed! Slankard had already prepared a map prior to the annexation election, diagraming the general sewer installation program. This map will be used in the survey. As soon as the survey and cost estimates have been prepared and approved by the council, a public hearing will be held for remonstrances, if any. A call for bids will then be made before ac tual sewer construction can be made. Just how soon street lights can be installed in West Roseburg could not be determined. The city budget does not provide funds for such expenditure. However, the council determined that steps should be taken to proceed with plans immediately, in order that lights could be installed as soon as funds can be made available. East Roseburg Still Walts The council again deferred ac tion on the East Roseburg an nexation election, since there was not a quorum present to pass an ordinance. There is still time to hold elections both in that area and within the city and come within the March 1 deadline for the taking of the 1950 census. Likewise an ordinance calling for the formal acceptance of new ly annexed areas into the city was continued until the next meeting. Miscellaneous Matters The council authorized the continued employment for the re mainder of the fiscal year of a full time strenographer, because of extra work which will be re quired In connection with the newly annexed areas. An ordinance vacating Claire street was passed to its second reading. A request was received from Roswell L. Myers offering $1,200 for lots 4, 5 and 6, block 12, Waites addition.

Main 1336-J Truman Asks Congress For Tax System Change (Continued from Page One) corporation profits and other sources. Inoreaae To Fall Short Mr. Truman said the budget he will submit Monday, for the fis cal year starting July 1, holds snending to the lowest levels con sistent with cold war require ments and essential economic needs at home. He declared that hii fiscal policy offers "the quickest and safest way of achieving a bal anced budget" but he did not hold out any hope that government spending can be held within in come during the forthcoming fis cal year. In fact, his talk of moderate tax boosts in the face of continued heavy obligations pointed to -another year or more or red ink financing. Mr. Truman spoke out against "the folly of attempting budget slashes which would impair our prospects for peace or cripple the programs essential to our na tional strength." He laid particu lar emphasis on funds for the European recovery program for non-communist nations. The president appeared before a joint session of the Senate and House, many of whose members have been demanding sharp cuts both in government spending and in existing taxes. Chairman Cannon (D-Mo) of the house appropriations commit tee said in advance of Mr. Tru man's message that the commit tee will vote to slash spending wherever needed to Insure a bal anced budget. . . Former Demands Repeated In many respects, the message was much like the one Mr. Tru man delivered a year ago on the same occasion. Again today, he called for re peal of the Taft-Hartley labor law, extension of rent control, a government housing program this time for middle income fami lies, civil rights legislation, stron ger anti-trust leglslaton, social security expansion, liberalized laws for admission of Europe's displaced persons, aid to educa tion, the highly controversial compulsory health insurance plan, and careful development of na tural resources. Mr. Truman also came out again for the Brannan plan for farm subsidies. The brainchild of Secretary of Agriculture Bran nan, it was projected during the fiast year as a means of provid ng lower prices on some foods to consumers, while keeping up the farmer's income with "produc tion payments." Attacked by ma jor farm organizations, it prom ises to be a standout Issue In the 1950 congressional campaigns. Omissions Noted Important 1949 items left out this time included: References to the need for anti-Inflation con trols, a call for universal mili tary training, and specific men tion of a. tax boost figure. A year ago Mr. Truman asked but never got a $4,000,000,000 tax Increase. ' , Last January he reported the state of the union was good. This time he said he was happy to re port that it continues to be good. Figuring that total nationalpro duction amounts to $225 billion annualy, Mr. Truman declared: "If our production power con tinues to Increase at the same rate as it has increased for the past 50 years, our total national production fifty years from now will be nearly four times as much as It is today." In round numbers, that would be a production of one trillion, twenty billion dollars annually. "Allowing for the expected growth in population," Mr. Tru man went on, "this would mean that the real Income of the ave rage family in the year 2,000 A. D. would be about three times what it is today." Government economists said the "real Income" of the average family in terms of purchasing power Is estimated at $4,200, com pared with $3,400 in 1941 and $2,600 In 1935-36. The estimates based on the 1948 dollar, would give the average American fam ily 50 years from now, under Mr. Truman s vision, a "real income of close to $12,600 annually. H. E.
