CIOARETTE TAX DOWNED
m it the present a dm inistration is
Now that the special election is over, we can tell you why doing a great w o rk that w ill m nke
one measure failed, the so-called cigarette tax. 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.”
