Government spending
From Allen W. Reitan
Cave Junction
Do you notice that our
government can easily spend
every dollar of tax revenue
when the economy is boom-
ing?
They slurp it up like there
is no tomorrow and get fat
from the revenue. Then when
the economy slows and reve-
nues decrease they panic and
want to start raising taxes to
continue the spending and get
even fatter.
We voters must help them
diet.
No new taxes, no in-
creased taxes, no “temporary”
taxes, no surtaxes, no tax lev-
ies. Reduce the spending.
“Tighten the belt.”

Library service
From Neil
and Judee Kunze
Ashland
We recently were through
Cave Junction, and decided to
stop for your great Friends of
the Library book sale.
As we travel around the
Northwest we frequently stop
at the libraries of small towns,
making use of the clean rest
rooms, the Internet for e-mail,
and to learn about the town.
You can learn a lot about
a town from its library.
We understand that Jose-
phine County has a library
system levy on the Nov. 5 bal-
lot. We hope that Illinois Val-
ley citizens Illinois Valley will
vote to support this levy to
continue the fine service that
your library provides for its
citizens, and as a reflection of
your community to visitors
such as us.
