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

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.

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

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.

Retired High Court Judge
Comments On World Of Law
Judge James T. 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

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.
