The Editor's Corner "It Says So Around Here Somewhere!" oria l JP a q fi.ia, nX-v -i ll iiifv " !'A" By Charles V. Slanton ma" i - WMM T I .",.-' - -.' 4 Tht News-Review, Roseburf, Ore. Charts Current Installment of the "Green Let ter," an information publication by Edith Green, representative from Oregon's 3rd Congreaxional DiHtrict, contains a couple of very interesting pie-charts pertaining to the federal budget. Estimated sources of revenue for fis cal 1946, it is stated, would produce ?88.3 billion. Store than one-half of this amount would be derived from individual income taxes, estimated to yield $46.1 billion. Corporation income tax would yield an other $24.7 billion. The sum of $10.5 bil lion is expected from excise taxes. Tariff and other sources would produce $7 bil- ' lion, the government's fiscal estimaters report. It is interesting that out of this $88.3 budget, $81.3 billion is to be collected through taxes. Just who pays the taxes called for by this budget? The majority of adult individuals pay . something in the form of income taxes. Those who were sold on the "soak-the-rich" philosophy doubtless applaud the fact that almost one-fourth of the tax revenue, $24.7 billion, is from corpora tion income tax. ' f- But that raises another question. Who pays corporation taxes?. Corporations, business concerns, etc., include taxes as a part of the cost of do ing business. Taxes are figured into the cost of everything sold, all services per formed. Consequently, this, tax is passed on to the consumer, the person who also is paying an individual income tax. Then there's the excise tax of $10.5 billion. This is nothing more or less than a glorified sales tax. Thejexcise tax is'" collected from sale of gasoline, cigar ettes, toiletries, automobiles, and nun- . dreds of various items, even a loaf of ' bread. . n' , . i ' . But, again, the consumer ii the one who pays. ' Thus, no matter how disguised, or by Peter Edson Seeing Trees, Not Forest In U. S. - Canada Relations WASHINGTON - (NEA) - Kirst lest for the new era of Improved relations between the United Statca and Canada may come over a pro posal now before Congress to re quire that all U.S. lumber Imports be labeled to show country of ori gin. This It a hangover from - (he U.S. Tariff Commission'! ' unani mous decision of last February, finding that Imports were not In juring the U.S. lumber Industry and denying requested relict through increased customs duties. Rebuffed here, American lumber men sought redress In Congress. Over 40 bills have been introduced by congressmen with lumber in terests in their states. They call for import labeling, in clusion of lumber as an agricultural commodity which would entitle it to AAA protection against imports, restrictions on the use of foreign lumber in federally financed hous ing and constructions projects. Tht proposal that has advanced furthest Is an amendment to the Tariff Act o( 1930, introduced by senators M is. Jordan, rt-idano, Warren Magnuson, D-Wash, and others. It would include "sawed lumber and wood products" with "new packages of imported articles which would be required to carry label showing country of origin, But the always original Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore. who has consistently supported his state's considerable lumber interests in the past recently took the floor to question the Jordan-Magnuson ap proach. He argues that the report ed declines in domrsUc lumber pro ducllon and employment are not caused by import competition. lie blames a combination of new building materials and a shift from sawed lumber to plywood and oih rr wood products which bring the mills higher prices. As a member of the Senate For eign Relations Committee, Morse goes even beyond this to line up as an internationalist supporting the best possible relations with Can ada. in (his stand he backs up the Kennedy administration in op position to lumber import labeling.

Pearson was focused on the Dominion's ac ceptance of United States nuclear warheads for mutual defense mis siles. Also discussed were trade, shipping and other economic is sues. Most of Canada's lumber exports formerly went to the British Isles. But the postwar Increase of Rus sian lumber exports to western Europe have cut this trade. Nearly 80 per cent of Canada's lumber exports principally soft woods, now come to the United States. Though this is only about 15 per rent of U.S. lumber use, it Is important U.S. dollar earner for Canada. U.S. investments in Canada and U.S. . trade with Canada are now larger than they are between the United States and all six European Common Market countries. Even so, Canada has an unfavorable trade balance with the United States of over SI billion a year. Curbing U.S. lumber Imports from Canada would only make this balance worse, Taken hem Hit tiki Yf AM AOO June 14, 113 A program calling for the ex penditure of approximately StOO, 000 for improvements and equip ment which will more than double the terminal facilities at Hoseburg has been adopted by the South ern Tactile Company and work has already been started in the local yards to put the plans into exe cution.

He pays $46.1 billion in the form of individual income taxes, then is nicked for another S35.2 billion in the form of so-called hidden taxes. Everything possible is being done to keep the taxpayer from realization of what he is paying. The withholding tax was a first step to condition people to accept a big tax boost without too much squawking. The workman, as a rule, doesn't care how much withholding tax is paid. It's taken out of his wages, and he's increased his take-home pay, so why should he worry? The fact that the boss must increase the price of his product or service as a means of raising money to pay the tax, and that the workman must come across with enough hidden lax to pay the amount, is a psychological situation that escapes analysis on the part of all too many taxpayers. If everyone realized just how much he is being soaked to support our huge bureaucracy, he'd very soon be voting the free spenders out of office and would elect people who would seek to get us back to financial stability. The other chart furnished by Rep. Green deals with allocation of funds call ed for in the budget. This includes 55 per cent for national defense, 4 per cent for space explora tion, 10 per cent for debt payment, 6 per cent for veterans benefits, 4 per cent for foreign aid and 21 pen cent for "other" purposes: Another question : - ' What would happen to national econ omy if this country cut back on the bil . lions of dollars worth of war materiel being supplied by our production ma chine?

RUARK I was unduly pleased to see that the Legislative Council of New Guinea and Papua as admin istered by the Australians, not the Indonesians lias just passed leg islation proscribing racial discrim ination. The law was triggered by single rebuff of a well-mannered native who was refused service in cafe. The new law is the one we're aft er here; it forbids the setting aside of any premises, vessel, vehicle or aircraft exclusively for persons of any race or color. It prohibits the failure to attend to customers in the order in which they approach the vendor. It forbids the selling or buying of goods at different pric es for different people.

The ruling was on cases from Maryland and Pennsylvania, but the decision would apply also in many other states where such cus toms are followed as part of school- day opening exercises. The court did not spell out whether such observances would be nossible on a PEltMISSlVE. rather than a required, basis, but did bar the establishment ot such exercises by majority rule.

Charles A. Sprague, notes the "tremendous increase in camperettes and camp trailers on the nation's highways." If these campers could be kept in the state a few days longer, the revenue from tourists would be increased, the editorial points out. A good many trailer-vacationists "zip right through the state, preferring to stop in proximity to some point, of in terest elsewhere instead of where they have nothing to do of an evening except to go to bed," says the Salem news-. paper: This factor of our tourist indus try is one concerning which I have commented time and again. It has been my opinion, often repeated, that tourist-campers should have facilities near cities and towns, rather than being shunted off miles from nowhere. The Oregon Statesman says: Perhaps the Highway Com mission should investigate the feasibility of acquiring more over-night facilities for trans ient trailers nearer "civiliza tion." Salem could well be a case at point. There is open land available. For that mat ter, there is an extensive ready made park at Paradise Island, only a mile or two from the Santiam intersection of the Freeway, which last year was offered to the city, which could serve this purpose. It is a question, of course, whether any public body should go, into this business, in stead of leaving it to private initiative. We recall how the state parks used to allow no campers, then had to amend this policy. It miiht happen' with regard to trailer accom modations in the more populous districts. I agree most heartily with the Salem editorial writer that facili ties for tourist-campers should be provided nearer "civilization." However, he would shove respon sibility for such facilities off onto the highway commission or some other public body, instead of un dertaking a "do-it-yourself" proj ect That's where I'm mighty proud '0' Douglas Lounty! !

The Salem editor questions whether a public body should en ter what is normally considered a private enterprise. Question Posed I, too, posed this question 'when Douglas County considered setting up overnight facilities for tourist campers. But the Douglas County Park Department contacted opera tors of a number of trailer camps. It found that few of the ccoinnier cial camps want transients. It costs more, they say, to hook up a trans ient trailer for an overnight stop than the amount they can charge for such service. Those with whom I talked said they would be de lighted if they had some place to which to send the tourist desiring to camp overnight. So Douglas County has a combin ation park at Canyonville, of which, for obvious reasons, I am intensely proud. That park has a grove, beach, picnic grounds, etc., for lo cal use. as well as soace for trail ers and tents, to serve transient tourists. The county is developing another such park at Winchester, 'where there is a boat ramp, picnic grounds and public camping facili ties. This camp now is closed tem porarily because of construction of a new highway bridge. The county also has acquired a fine site at Anlauf. near the north entrance to the county, adjoining the ireeway. It will have very lim- iled recreational facility, but will : be a fine location for a tourist camp. Development work, however, can't start until late this year as the owner, a farmer,- retains con trol until he harvosts his crops. Thus Douglas County will have three tourist- camp centers where it plans to do much public rela tions work, hoping to hold tour ists longer. It also will slop them near places where they can buy supplies and find entertainment. Marion County and, in fact, ev ery county in Oregon, in my opin ion, should he developing its own facilities instead of sitting back ! and begging help from some other 1 source.
