Jan. 20, 1938
Interest is being aroused in Con
gress to the need of relief in
these trying times and attention
is being centered around the need
for a pension. Every effort should
be made to keep in touch with
Congressman Mott and assure
him of our loyal support to Gen
eral Welfare No. 4199 formerly
known as the Townsend Plan.

that it was necessary to amputate

In 1829, schools and colleges

Chamber
outlook
“ As problems arise we will
work to take care of them. But
other than that we don’t really
have any specific things that
we will be working at,” new Sher
idan Chamber of
Commerce
President Mel Agee said look
ing forward to his year in of
fice on the Chamber.
Agee did point out that the
Chamber of Commerce always
tries to work with the city in
dealing with any problems that
might arise and that the Cham
ber can help solve.
One item of vital importance
to the Chamber is the Liberty
Home plant currently under con
struction south of Sheridan.
“ We will be working with the
new industry to see what deve
lops,” Agee said.
According to Agee he feels the
Willamina and Sheridan Cham
bers ought to work together more
closely. He pointed out now that
the Sheridan Chamber pays very
close attention to the industry in
Willamina through tours of the
mills and securing
periodic
speakers from the mills to ad
dress the Chamber.
“We’re always glad to work
with new industry and encourage
them to come in. We feel the
more' good the Chamber can do
the more the town benefits.”
Good morning? I asked for rain
and it surely is doing that, isn’t
it?
I still prefer it to that
white stuff.
Gunaldo Falls are at their pret
tiest this time of year. The
white cascade of water goes
foaming down the side of the
mountain about fifty feet into
Sour grass Creek. To me this
seems more like the summit,
than the place actually designated
as such. If some of you haven’t
seen Gunaldo Falls, they are
about ten miles toward Tillamook
from the Grand Ronde Agency.

We had another day of Wed
nesday, so Ray and I drove up
our beautiful northern coastline,
stopping here and there to take
pictures, look for agates (mine
are rocks) and driftwood, and
to just look. The Pacific was
anything but peaceful, with logs
and other flotsam crashing aro
und the beaches.

From this issue of the Times
comes
a timely story. It
seems that Women’s Lib is
nothing new.
A story is told of an old colored
woman sitting on the steps of
a church during a Women’s Rights
meeting in Akron, Ohio in 1851.
She listened to the fiery speeches
by the men for quite a while
denouncing the idea that women
should vote. Finally the old
woman walked down to the front
of the church, pointed her finger
at the men, and said, “ If de
fust woman God ever made
turned, dis world upside down all
by herself, dese women all to-
gedder can set it right side up
again and you men better let
them do it.”

on to the tiny rock island?
We made the “ loop” around the
boardwalk at Seaside and at Camp
Rilea wondered at the stories
the Clatsop Plains Pioneer P re
sbyterian Church could tell if
it could talk. We especially liked
the big bronze bell in the church
yard. It is said to be one of
the oldest churches in Oregon.
Peter Iredale’s skeleton (an
English ship that ran aground
years ago) and Battery Russell
captured our attention at Fort
Stevens State Park.
After a
delicious and leisurely lunch in
Astoria, we visited the Crown
Zellerbach sorting yard and the V
Fort Clatsop Memorial before ■
heading south again.
The highlight of the trip “ home”
was a large herd of elk bedding
down for the night on Neah-kah-
nie Mountain. It was getting dusk,
but I wasted one picture on them,
hoping it will show up a little.
How is the March of Dimes
coming in Willamina? It surely
seems funny not to be working
with it this year. An International
Foods dinner, style show, Swiss
chalet dinner and other activities
are being held in Tillamook with
four pretty princesses^ re
presenting
the
four
high
school classes, in charge. Each
March of Dimes princess is
striving to help make the most
money for her class so she will
be crowned the queen. Other
organizations in the area are
sponsoring things to make money
for the MOD, too. Good luck
here.
Until next week, God bless.

Telephone excise tax reduced
It isn’t often the American pub
lic hears the delightful phrase,
“ your taxes are being reduced.”
That makes 1973 an unusual
year.
!
Beginning January 1, all bills
rendered for telephone service
will reflect a decrease in the
assessment of federal excise tax.
It is the first of 10 steps being
taken toward the eventual elim
ination of the 10 per cent ex
cise tax which has been collected
on communications . services
since it was levied as an “ em er
gency measure” during World
War II.
Other similar “ emergency”
wartime excise taxes have long
since been eliminated.
Many attempts to reduce or e-
liminate the tax on communica
tions services have been made
since that time--and for a brief
period in 1966, the tax was ac
tually reduced from 10 per cent
to 3 per cent.
Telephone users had only a
three-month respite, however.
Another “ emergency” situation,
the war in Vietnam, prompted a
hasty return to the 10 per cent
levy.
In 1973, the excise tax on com
munications services will be col
lected at the rate of 9 per cent.
Subsequent reductions of one per
cent each year are scheduled
in the effective rate, leading to
elimination of the tax on January
1, 1982.
The long-endured 10 per cent
tax has been--in the eyes of the
government--a productive tax.
Telephone companies make the
collections and handle the paper
work for the tax which, over
the years, has pumped billions
of dollars into the federal cof
fers. In fiscal 1971 alone, the
federal government realized over
$1.6 billion from the tax on com
munications services.
“ Telephone companies have
long been opposed to this r e
gressive tax, but have been un
successful in repeated efforts
to have the tax removed,” said
Mr. Ray Murray, District Man
ager for United Telephone. “ Al
though the reduction schedule now
going into effect does not elim-
inate the tax as quickly as we
w°ulcI llke> is a positive step ”
Mr. Murray added that United
telephone customers paid $901
583 in excise taxes in 1971 and
the flgure will reach over $1
000,000 for 1972.
