The measure was downed by the cigarette smokers and those who didn’t like tying a cigarette tax in with the schools. Well the school people gen I erally did not appreciate the situation, hut it was the best the legislature had to offer when the schools asked for more money I to meet increasing costs. It looks from here that Oregon will finally have to adopt the sales tax as have other states, if additional revenue is found to meet current demands. Most of us have learned there is no such thing as a painless tax and that methods of finding new sources of revenue have been practically exhausted. LONG AND SHORT OF IT In the Washington letter of Harris Ellsworth. 4th district congressman, he calls attention to the fact that shortening is short and getting shorter, which means less bakery goods ami soaps. Butter production is abfat twenty-five percent less than 1941, lard production about twenty-eight percent less than 1941. tallow 16 per cent less than 1941. Only corn and soy bean oil will show increases over 1941. A reduction in animal fats is blamed on the OPA price juggling. No relief is promised for this situa tion until the spring of 1946. COMMON SENSE One of the most sensible outlines for a postwar policy to protect the United States from the menace of inflation has been presented by Harley L. Lutz. Professor of Public Finance of Princeton University. He says that a program that would do most to maintain confidence in the stability of purchasing pow er should embrace the following: “ 1. A moderate budget financed on a cash basis. This would stop credit inflation at its source. “ 2. Taxation at a level sufficient to cover the budget and to provide for some debt retirement. No country ever had a wild commodity price inflation while its budget was in balanee and its debt was being reduced. “ 3. Repeal of all legislation under which there can be any tinkering with the currency, such as further devaluation of the dollar, the issue of greenbacks, the dilution of bank reserves, ami other inflationary devices. “ 4. A green light to private enterprise to proceed with civi lian production as promptly after the termination of war con-1 tracts as reconverson will permit. The early prospect of a rea sonably adequate supply of goods will go far to prevent crowd ing and jostling to get them. “ A definite assurance that their liquid savings will not be evaporated by foolish public spending, borrowing, and further credit inflation will make the people much more disposed to walk than run to the exit.” should l»e replaced. A u th o rity fo r the statement is Mrs Samuel I.
