In The Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
The I nited Slates Chamber of
Commerce is meeting this week in
Washington. Among other things,
it is considering the idea of tax
reduction because high taxes
are a tremendous burden on busi
ness. At the same time, it has to con
sider the probability of greatly in
creased defense and anti-recesion
spending. If we cut taxes and at
the same time spend more money,
it will mean bigger deficits and
more inflation.
Senator Bennett of t'tah de
scribed this situation pretty ac
curately at a breakfast meeting of
the L.S. Chamber. He cited senate
testimony by government officials
th
at heavy federal spending will
probably produce a deficit of from
10 to 12 nniion dollars In the re
mainder of this fiscal year and the
whole of the next fiscal year.
He then added:
"Additional spending PI. I S 4.
TAX CTT could DOI BLE this def
icit figure, bringing it to 20 to 24
BIIXION DOLLARS."
That would send inflation kiting
upward like a rocket.
If you are an average citizen.

Railroad Says
Cost Too High
For Service
Decision Now Rest
With Commissioner;
Decision Expected Soon
SALEM it) Almost three
years of hearings in the Southern
Pacific Company passenger case
ended Wednesday with the rail
road claiming it would lose a
million dollars a year if it had to
restore the Eugene-Ashland serv
ice that was discontinued in Au
gust, 1955.
Public Utilities Commissioner
?oWard Motsm. who will have to
r . -- ..... .
lce restored. ' ! would pre
pare nis opinion as quickly as
possible.
The case was brought by State
Sen. Philip S. Lowry, Medford,
and former state Sens. Paul Ged
des. Roseburg. and Gene L.
Brown, Grants Pass.
Argue Service Not Used
At Wednesday hearing. Ogles
bie Young, Portland, Southern
Pacific attorney, argued that the
passenger service wasn't used hv
the public, that the railroad can't
compete on short-haul passenger
traffic against buses, airplanes
and automobiles, and that the rail
road would lose a million dollars
a year if it restored the daily
round trip passenger service be
tween Portland and Ashland.
Young said the losses would be
even greater if the railroad had
to establish deluxe service, such
as Lowry, Geddes and Brown
want.
These men had mad their
final arguments at an earlier
hearing, claiming that the S.P.
purposely maintained poor service
so that the public would quit us
ing the trains.
Young; denied this, saying that
the S.P. had tried the latest air
conditioned sleepers, lounge cars,
coaches and diners.
Toe Few Passengers
Young declared that the trains
were carrying an average of only
eight passengers per mile before
wvy weio uiacununuea.
He said it would be impossible
to cut the Portland-Ashland run
ning time below 13 hours because
of the excessive curves and heavy
grauea on me run.
Young also said that dropping'
of the passenger service has made
it possible for the railroad to serve
better the freight needs of the 455
industries on the Eugene-Ashland
line.
His argument was interrupted
several times as Morgan and his
rail supervisor, Clifford W. Fergu
son, took issue with some of
Young's statements.
Young quoted the mayor n(
Grants Pass as saving that Grams
Pass doesn't want nor need pas
senger service.
Before the passenger service
was discontinued, Young said, the
S.P. hadn't expected anybody to
object.
He pointed out that manv nf
the witnesses in favor of restor
alinn of the service had admitted
they had never ridden on the train
and that they never would.
