FOR WHAT
IT'S WORTH
By C L IFF O R D P. ROWE
T his is th e tim e of the y ear
when all those people who own
p ro p erty o r w ho an? in the proc
ess of buying it receive the sad
new s as to w hat the tax bill is
for th e com ing year. And as is
so common these days, one never
receives th e p leasan t surprise of
being inform ed th a t said taxes
have been reduced.
In spite of th e fact th a t most
of us a re aw a re th a t tax es and
death are alw ays w ith us, we still
never fail to com plain loud and
long when o u r an n u al statem en t
arrives. Of coirs®, we overlook
th e fact th a t every tim e we get
the gas tan k filled w e are paying
taxes. Ywt we pay these w ithout
P erhaps th e recipe for a happy
ronnlace. one wholly u naw are of
its ta x burden, would be to have
ell taxes hidden. It is m uch ea sie r
to pay so m uch a gallon for g as
oline, unaw are of the* oercentavp
coing for taxes, than it is to re-
! eeiw? a sta te m en t asking us to

in retu rn .
W ith th a t in mind it m ight be
'veil to rem ind those who com plain
| that it is alw ays w ithin th e ir
lower to got out of paying those
taxps. All one has to do, is to do
' thout those things lo r which
tax money is used.
If one is w illing to do w ithout
loliee and fire protection, the tax
ill can certain ly he reduced. If
>ne p refers th at his children grow
ip w ithout tiie education which
this nation furnishes to all it>
ard lc-s of class o r creed, the
burden on his pocki?tbook can lie
definitely lightened. If one is w ill
ing to go back to tlz horse and
carriage fm- tran sp o rtatio n , th ere
certainly will be no need for those
taxes necessary for building and
m aintaining roads.
’ i
r words, if we an willing
a forego the benefits which a -
vancing civilization has brought,
he costs of governm ent can be
drastically reduced and taxes as
a nesult be lowered.
F o r myself, when I am tem pted
to complain about taxes. I only
look about me at all the services
provided by my city and county—
O regon's O ctober traffic death

narrow ed, however, if delayed fat-
alit reports force an upw ard re-
visi i of the O ctober figure.
1 e sta te has an excellent
chance of com pleting the y ear
w ith a net reduction in traffic
d eath s if the N ovem ber and D e
cem ber totals can be held a t or
below 1954 levels, the secretary
said. Thirty-seven Oregonians died
in traffic last N ovem ber and D e
