MJMIIJI . 1 1 "Steady On, M'Boy!" The Editor's Corner By Charles V. Stanton o r i a i IP a q 4 The Newt-Revitw, Roiebur, Ore. - Federal Government Will Share Tax Load Friday, The News-Review in this col umn took a stand against the petitions beinjr circulated around the state to force referral of the 1963 legislature's tax bill to the people. The contention of the newspaper is that with the same personnel as in the 1963 legislature, no major reforms are likely if the referendum vote Oct. 15 forces an extra session. What is more likely to happen is that massive cuts in the basic school fund and higher education budget will be made. The first item will mean a tre mendous added burden on property tax payers because the basic school support fund of a proposed $141 million serves as an offset to local taxes. The second item, higher education, will mean lack of col lege facilities to handle the great in crease in students. What's more, The News-Review con lends the cost of the extra session and the fiscal uncertainties caused by a fail ure to have a solid budget by the first of the year will add a lot more unneces sary strains on the taxpayers' pocket books. Far more sensible an approach is a demand for tax reform in the 1965 ses sion. The petitions for referral shouldn't be signed, but the Citizens Committee for Economy and Equitable Taxation has one strong tool to work with. That is the leg islature's decision to eliminate the fed eral income tax deduction ... the tool which proved so effective in 1959. Not only were enough names received for the referendum, but voters turned down the tax bill about 5 to 1. (Probably the major reason was the $35 million sur plus in the treasury. As a result of this surplus no special session was neces sary). A point which apparently also sway ed the voters was the elimination of the federal income tax deduction. Judging from statements recently by a couple of acknowledged legislative experts on the Reader Opinions Ice Age Of Communiim j . a Spreading Tnroilgn World To The Editor; AnnlJier lea ana unlike those evidenced In prehistoric limes It creeping upon this earth. Com munism is spreading, in a slowly. ever widening, freezing circle to olhor nations, striking cold the hearts of the basic freedoms of life. We, as Americans, seem not to realize the meaning, to other na tions of the freedoms and privil eges we were born with. If the present Americans could fully real ize how the first Americans had to fight for their rights and ours they might exercise them more fully and fight communism more heartily. Weapons Available There are two hnsic weapons with which we may fight commun ism. First Is the love of democracy. Must we first be deprived of the rights that are ours in a demo cracy before we realize what we do have? We need only to look at the people trying so desperately, risking their lives, to escape from behind the iron curtain to see what a democratic nation stands for. The second flnmo with which this glacier Is to he melted is the Holy Bible. The communistic lead ers fear this book, sacred to Chris tians. I onco read an article writ ten by a person visiting in Russia. I'pon his entrance, otficials asked that he leave his Bible with them until he left. When he refused they Insisted upon his bringing It out of the country when he return ed. If the truths of the Bible were revealed to people under com munistic rule, their leaders would see the edges of the glacier melt ing, their empire crumbling. Freedom Given In America we are given free dom of speech. Any person may sav what he chooses about an of ficial, his neighbor, even the Pres ident, which may, or may not he in good taste. This Is his right. I nder communistic rule no such tiling li tolerated. They are told what to say, do, and even what to think.

Freedom of the press is another great privilege, neglect ed by many. Unopinionsted facts of (lie newspapers are great eye- openers In the public. Exercise Rights How people under communistic rule would love i. chance to live as we do. Will these things be taken from us before we see what we have? Only when we realize why demo cracy must bo preserved, may we successfully tight communism. One of the first steps the Amer ican citizen can take to fight com munism is to exercise his demo cratic rights. I am not, rs yet, a full-fledged citizen of the United Stales as I am under 21 years of age. I am, however, exercising those rights al ready mine. Are you?

' . jrally "lonl hair." ...... ,r.i n,- SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1963 object of taxes, this is no grounds for re jecting the tax bill. Both Rep. W. 0. Kelsay of Roseburg and Rep. Clarence Barton of Coos Bay, speaker of the House, say this is mere ly a means of getting the federal govern ment to help carry some of the load or the $48 million extra necessary to bal ance the 1963-65 budget. Both say the federal government will pay a large portion of increased state in come taxes if the new tax law becomes effective. Barton, in a recent speech, explained it this way: "Eliminating the federal deduction is a method of increasing state taxes but it is also a method of reducing federal taxes. This happens because of the larger state tax deduction you receive on your federal return." He gives these examples: An Oregon man with a wife and two children who earned $5,000 last year paid $58 in state tax. His tax this year, if the new income tax bill becomes effective, will be $9.'!. That sounds like a 60 per cent Increase, but actually, his total state and federal income taxes will rise only 6 per ;cnt. His federal tax drops as his stale lax rises. The same man making $7,000 last year paid $187. This year, he will pay $242. That's a 29.4 per. cent rise in slate taxes, but, only a 3.6 per cent increase in his combined state and federal-taxes. On the same basis, by the time the theoretical taxpayer is making $100,000,' the increase is really only a total of 1.5 per cent when slate and federal taxes are combined. This point should be taken into con sideration before signing the referral pe tition which is certain to come your way.' You are bound to pay some extra taxes whether the budget is referred and turn ed down, or not. But it certainly makes more sense to pay them for services now included in the budget than for a special session which isn't likely to achieve a systematic improvement in taxation.

Brand, retired justice of the Oregon Supreme Court, recently commented in a special bylined article in The Oregonian on actions by the U.S. Supreme Court. In his article he raised some very interesting points in which he indicated that the court may be moving too far and too fast. In particular, however, and aside from any opinions con cerning whether decisions by the Supreme Court are de serving of criticism, I found most interesting and, indeed inspiring, his comment concerning law in itself. Discussing enactment and en, i . r. t. ; forcement of law, Judge Brand1. Ja.m Brand belonged to a fra-wrote- teinity which soonsored debate. So, a' backward glenee wiselv ! 'espile difficulties and weather, he nreee.ln. nu frUU,H il-- Claneino hanku-arrf . .iet; would observe that law and particularly legislation normal ly lags behind the customs and the sentiments of the people. Common law grew out of cus tom. Legislation is the product of popular demand. The deter mination of the extent lo which law can accomplish social re form by advancing beyond the mores and the conscience of the people is one of the most diffi cult tasks of statesmanship. Law is a proper instrument for moral and social reform but when it goes too far be yond established custom it may fail to accomplish reform and may result instead in public disrespect for law and cor ruption of enforcement offi cials, witness the Eighteenth Amendment establishing (?) prohibition. This simple and explicit state ment concerning t lie formation of laws is something that all of us should study, I believe. If we'll take a second look at the laws, rules and regulations by which we're governed, we'll find that people respect those laws nec essitated by the needs of society as a whole. Those are moral laws, laws made for safety, welfare and happiness of people as a whole. But when it conies to regulatory laws, they seemingly are made only to be broken if we can get away with it. Perhaps I'm a bit prejudiced inj favor of Judge Brand and his j-! dicial opinions. 1 certainly have a deep a If eel ion for the man and 1 respect his integrity and his judgement. My high regard for him goes hack many years to a time when 1 was a student in high school.
