Th ur* O c to b er 29 1981 (Sec 1) SA ND Y (O re ) POST inside business Business leader to discuss state activity Chamber of Commerce told . ‘America running scared’ by VON BRASCHLER F’ o rtla n d te le v is io n m oderator G erry P ra tt, shadow boxing like a future politican, Tuesday told the Sandy Chamber of Com merce that America is runn ing scared and being mislead politically. "W e re heading today toward a Herbert Hoover economy," said the Fred Meyer trust administrator frequently mentioned as a potential political candidate "That kind of thinking got us into the depression. I don’t want to go through that again, yet we seem almost c o m m itte d to p u ttin g ourselves through that ” In terms of resources, te ch n o lo g y and h ea lth America is better than ever, Pratt countered "Don’t let any kind of political thinking committed to helping people who have more than they need turn that kind of thinking off for you," he said of American pride " I f you think that's a political statement," Pratt said, " I guess it is." He said taxes aren't the bugaboo and that expensive money (high interest rates) won't save the national economy. What's needed, Pratt said, is some discipline and struc ture in government today, not selling short some fifty years of social legislation in cutting government cost. "A tax revolution isn't the kind of revolution we’ll have to face," he said "They’re going to start taking houses and jobs away from a whole generation That's the sort of thing that leads to anarchy " "Y ou don't pay taxes unless you make a profit If you make a profit, you pay more taxes Would you rather pay taxes and have a booming business'1 Would you rather pay taxes and go to work’’ " Pratt said there's a lot of "boloney" in the administra tion's economic approach and the pessimistic guilt felt by Americans who fear they've "had it too good" and now must suffer "We don't want to turn our backs on things that made this country great," he said of social cuts and belt tightening "Someone’s try ing to convince us we re broke ” "Somehow we've decided that we’ve had it too good and have to do penance by pricing ourselves out of business with high interest rates that nobody can pay." The government enters the picture, Pratt said, as so meone who says reducing taxes and "wiping out half a century of social legislation" maybe w ill take care of our problems. "Now they talk about doubling gasoline tax, doubl ing your phone bill, doubling cigarette tax and doubling li quor tax So who pays’ We pay ” Pratt doesn't feel America is on the verge of a tax revolt "Anyone I've met whose business is under the brunt of it tells me they'd rather pay taxes than go on the dole " Pratt said the big winners in tax cuts w ill be big business. "Raising the cost of money ( in te re s t ra te s ) is no a n s w e r," he said. The money goes to people who have that kind of money to lend Business in this coun try won't be good again until interest rates come down " Nuclear energy is an ex ample of American pride turned to shame. Pratt said E a rly p ro je c tio n s said n u c le a r ene rg y w ould become cheap and solve any energy problems The dream burst, he said, when Americans lost con fidence in their ability to control the environment Suddenly a plant like Trojan that cost $400 million and rivals Bonneville in power output costs $5 billion to build "We re afraid of it,” Pratt said "We thought we had a genie in a bottle when we first looked at it. Now we think we can't control it That’s boloney We've turn ed out back on things ” Pratt, a former Sandy Mountain Days parade m ar shal considered an early candidate two years ago for U.S. Sen Bob Packwood's seat, said he supported San dy Democrat Jack Travis in a local race for new state House District 23 Emphasis on business Chamber topics announced Gary Carlson, general tax ation director for Associated Oregon In d u strie s, w ill review business enactments of the 61st L eg isla tive Assembly this Tuesday, Nov 3, at the Sandy Chamber of Commerce The Sandy group meets noon each Tuesday at T o llg a te re s ta u ra n t on Highway 26 at the west end of town Other upcoming Sandy Chamber speakers include spokesmen from Associated Oregon Industries, Oral Hull and the John Thompson campaign for state senate Nov. 10 the Chamber will receive in fo rm a tio n on Oregon business week from A ssociated Oregon In dustries.
