Income Tax Diversion
"Referendum' measures are those which have
been approved by the legislature and thereafter
attacked by petition. "Initiative" measures are
those proposed by individuals, or more often,
groups outside the legislature; they have not ,
endured that body's critical and more or less
practiced scrutiny. This is a .distinction pointed
out here in the past; to what degree it is recog
nized by the voters, we have no way of know
ing. Our point is that initiative measures de-.
serve, for this reason, closer study on the part
"7 of the "layman-legislators" who seal their fate
I at the polls. , ' ';
On the November 3 ballot there is only one
initiative measure: -"Bill distributing surplus
funds to school districts, reducing taxes there
in." It provides that all money received, from
state income taxes in excess of $7,750,000 -snail
be-distributed to public school districts and
union high school districts in proportion to the
number of days of actual school attendance in
public schools by pupils residing in each of said
1 districts and to non-high school districts upon
the same basis for all pupils for whom they
pay tuition to standard public high, schools;
requiring that money received by any. such
school district from this scource shall be fully
applied to reduce the taxes to be levied by
such district."
As in the case of the fish bill, there are some
things about this measure as you will present
ly see on which we lack sufficient informa
tion; but on this bill we are ready to express our
individual opinion without waiting to have
those cleared up. Our opinion was in fact ex
pressed many weeks ago. The bill should be
defeated. : " ."' -', :;,' ' '
If for no other reason, it should be defeated
because the legislature is quite likely, at the
1943 session or at any subsequent session, to re
duce or otherwise alter the income tax rates,
furthermore, predicting for any given year the
income tax revenue is largely a matter of guess
work. It fluctuates radically. School districts' -receipts
from this course would fluctuate still
more radically since they would get only the
surplus, if any. Next .y ear they might receive
ten million dollars; five years hence, not a dime.
It would be that uncertain; thus though it is
desirable that new sources for school revenue
other than property taxes be provided, this
source under this formula is not a sensible solution-
. :' r; : .v
And though school districts' property taxes
may, if the ballot title is to be trusted, be re
duced under this bill, it will necessitate a return
to the levying of a state property tax for the
income tax has eliminated state property taxes
in excess of nine million dollars; if the state is "
cut off at the pockety t $7,750,000, there la
no alternative except td--levy jie difference
, against property." y'-y:: Vr'v
. Butthere seems to be endless difference of
opinion as to whether the bill does guarantee,
- as the ballot title declares, that "money received
by any such school district from this source
shall be fully applied to reduce the taxes levied
by such district. i' ; 1; ,-;
Oregon Voter insists that "it at once increase
property tax by re-loading all of the 2-mill ele
mentary school levy onto property as an added
burden, and in addition authorizes every school
district to budget the expected. additional rev
enue without reducing property tax." "f
, Bend Bulletin and some other ' newspapers
. hold the same view, basing it upon the last sen
tence in the measure .which provides that re
ceipts from income tax surplus revenue "shaH
not impair the basis already established for
computing the levies permitted tinder the limi
tation imposed by the constitution." .
That language refers to the constitutional 6
per cent limitation. ; But there is another in
terpretation, though it isn't much more com-
- plimentary to the bill. Oregon Business & Tax
Research recently quoted the opinion of Carl
Davidson, former tax commission attorney,
that "the receipts need not be, under the terms
of the bill, applied to reduce the amount which
may be lawfully levied under the 6 per cent
limitation . . ." But OB&TR on its own hook
asserts that on the contrary, this language
merely proposes' to preserve a school district's
tax base over an indefinite period even though
that base was not used but in so proposing, it
also proposes to amend, by simple statute, the
state constitution. That of course is unconsti
tutional. V 'y-
If the bill permits districts to levy the usual
amount of taxes regardless of the income tax
"windfall," there's a new burden on taxpayers.
If it doesn't, districts will get no relief though
property taxpayers may. This issue ought by all
means to be cleared up before the election. But
either way, it is. a bad bill and should be
defeated. . . -yy ,
' Milk Subsidy
It was just a local story in New" York; the press
wires didnt carry it out here; anyway we didn't
see it. But it's highly significant just the same.;
Briefly, the federal government through the
Commodity Credit corporation proposed to buy
NewUVork City's entire fluid milk supply from
the wholesale distributors at $3.30 a hundred
weight and then sell it to the distributors at
$3.10. The government's loss of 20 cents would
amount to about $15,000 a day. But it would
enable the, distributors to resell the milk to the
public at 12 cents a quart, cash and carry
handling it at one cent a quart, since the whole
sale price would be IT cents.
Thus MA dairyman would get more for his
milk but the public would pay no more. Slick.
Of. course it would cost Uncle Sam a lot of
money if he put the same plan into operation
wherever ' there was a similar problem, which
would certainly . include western Oregon. For
that matter, why limit it to milk? Why not
extend it to every necessary commodity on
i which there is a tiht pinch between produc-
tion cost and the ceiling price? - .""
! Because it is jurt;a:local story in New York
we'll have to waicSi the New York papers for
progress reports; but the day after it was an
! ' nounced, the distributors seemed all against it
because at the same tizns iLcfiered them "no

reel alallea
relief, it would tie them up more tightly to the
ceiling price. And the Herald Tribune pointed
out that a milk price relief plan, curtailing dis
tribution costs by making deliveries only once
in two days, , was proposed months ago and;
blocked by the teamsters' union. So, you see,
all the possible alternatives haven't been tried.
This is a subsidy, even though the problem
sought to be solved is a bit different from those
for which subsidies usually are proposed. But
getting back to first principles, what is the
problem? The high cost of living inflation.
This would hold down one item of the cost of
living, in so far as the consumer's pocket was
concerned. But the difference would just coma
out of Uncle Sam's pocket and Where's the
gain?
Only six cents out of the government's ex
pended dollar goes for, non-war purposes, the
president reports. But if we'd spent six cents.
Back in 1935 we spent about seven cents on na
tional defense and more than 40 cents on "re
covery and relief." If those figures had just
been reversed the immediate benefits would
have been about the same and we'd be a lot bet
ter off now. - ' ' '

By PAUL MALLON v V
(Distribution try Kins features Syndics ta, tne. Koproi
auction ta who) or to part strictly prohibited.)
WASHINGTON, Oct 20 The inflation repres
ser, Justice Jimmy Byrnes, is going' about bis job
quietly, without much of a staff. '
He says all he needs is a place to hang his hat
The White House has given
him a rack for it, and the other
departments lend him what
help he calls for.
The technique he is applying
against salaries has taken
somewhat the same easy form.
His hold-down step against sal
aries is aimed to stop collective
Increases, but to allow individ
ual advances.
While he went beneath the
surface of his law from con-,
gress to prevent collective in
creases in even the smallest
salaries, the rules he set .will
allow increases for practically any purpose the
. employer, seeks to set
. So also with, the restriction of big incomes to
$25,000 net a year. The only way the order can
be enforced is to prevent corporations from taking
tax deductions on salaries paid to executives above
that figure. : If the corporation chooses to pay the
tax. apparently it can. also pay the salary.
r ' Thai; Justice Byrnes seems to be working up
'"a formula which is a little easier than those con
sidered in the public debate, certainly much easier
than an arbitrary freezing, and no one can yet
safely predict its overall effect upon wages, al
though it must be assumed the average will slow
ly rise. ' - .- . ' 'v.;,;
Mr. Wendell Wfllkie seems to be running some
place fast but the pondering politicos here are
wondering where.
... Naturally, in view of the general direction he
is traveling, there has been speculation that he
may wind up in Mr. Roosevelt's cabinet some say
as secretary of state, some as war secretary, when
and if Judge Patterson, . the heir apparent there,
is appointed to the supreme bench.
In such talk, the seriousness of the recent pointed
international conversations between Messrs. Willkie
and Roosevelt are discounted.: The second front
dispute certainly served no permanent eviL It must
have made Stalin happy and caused Churchill to
remember the idea.
Beyond this, Mr. Willkie's destination defies spec
ulation, even though the publicity velocity he has
engendered must cause any observed to feel the
breeze. :.
One thing he has continuously done since the last
campaign is to ebrrect the apprehensions of the
New, York radicals, who thought him a barefoot
boy of Wall Street, instead of Rushville.- Along
that line his progress has been continuous, but in
that progress he has lost republican support and
ceased, in fact to be the leader of any party.
Tb only safe prediction is that the breeze will
grow before it diminishes. -
Some people suspect this is a corporation tax
-: bin. True, it proposes to collect only $1,300,000,
000 more from corporations and more than three
' times as much, or $4,900,000,000 from individuals.
But its top average corporation rate, (which will
hit the big corporations like US Steel and General
'Motors) is 80 per cent and, as they are generally
operating under government orders, restricting
v. their profits supposedly to 6 per cent the bill
means roughly that they , will be allowed to earn
20 per cent of 8 per cent i r
Consequently, while the stock market has been
shaking off its chronic despair as a result of the
bill, and the market men are saying the bill means
business is going to have profits which will con
tinue to increase slightly as production swings Into
Its highest gear, there are no reasons for corporate
cheers.
r The " market reaction Is probably a result of
changes in the capital gains tax more than the
corporation rate. v 1
As for what It does to the individual taxpayer,
the most extreme statement yet printed is not exag
gerated. .. Sanaa ease .. .
" One of the old stories now going around, with a
. new war twist Is that the government is letting the
banks issue paper money against nothing more than
government bonds. The inference is that money is
being inflated artifically, as well as through price
wage increases. ..- ' - ,
Under the present system of Issuing money, the
treasury deposits a gold certificate in the federal
reserve banks and money is issued against that cer
tificate. The federal reserve banks may, upon the
approval of the treasury and the federal reserve
board, issue other money up to 60 cents on the
: dollar with bond backing. . ..
, But today the amount of gold held by the treas
. : ury is far above the value of outstanding currency,
so there has been no direct inflation from that
-; source.
1- The real value of the dollar today is fixed by Mr.
Henderson, not by bookkeeping devices, but by
decreeing the price to be paid for the food we eat
and the wage we receive for our work.- We have
gone far beyond currency manipulation into a com-
- pletely managed economy.

Copying further from the "Beth

quite conceivable that a republi
can form of government might
operate under a socialist system
of distribution of wealth.
"And it is quite conceivable
that such a change in our econ
omic system might be brought
about through peaceful altera

itself against overthrow; but
there is no justification for gov

Today's Garden
By LHXTE L. MADSEN
R.C. asks what to do about his
roses which are mildewing bad-
ly. Says they are also suffering
from blackspot Wonders if it Is
. too late in the year to spray.
Answer: As long as the roses
has foliage on them, it is not
too late to spray. A good spray
ing program throughout the -
. growing year, does so much to
; start the. bushes off at a good
start in spring. Pick up all dis
eased leaves which are falling
off and destroy these. Keep the v
air circulating through the rose '
bushes by preventing too many
branches from growing. Stir the
soil occasionally beneath the
bushes. Take off the withered
flowers as soon as they are
withered.
Notice the varieties ' which ;
mildew least and if you are
planting more roses select such.
Visit other gardens and notice
the same thing. Our nights are
longer now, there is more damp-
ness and - yet we have rather
warm weather for fall, all this
contributes to mildew.
Mrs. AJf.T. - writes that she
planted her Easter lily in a
corner of her s h r u b border
. .which she seldom visits and now
finds that the lily is ready to
bloom. She wonders what to do.
; Answerf My suggestion would
be to let it bloom. There is little
else to do about it. Lilies which
have been forced for Easter fre
quently -de take a notion , to
bloom again In autumn. Some
times forced Easter lilies turn
out to be good flowering, blobs
out of doors and will bloom for
years. Other times the bulb does
not withstand the forcing . and
may only bloom again in au
tumn and then die permanently.
- However, as a rule you may ex
pect it to bloom again next year
out of doors. It does not do well

chose two large attic rooms with
a view over two roof tops north
yard as far as Hampstead and
Highgate, and it was fun to begin

furniture and utensils, searching
lor .-broken-down chairs that
could be repaired and rfeupTrol

school desk that showed mahog

a home, and the entirely vacant
floor beneath encouraged a kin
ship with roofs and sky rather
man with the walls and pave

Towards the end of Septem
ber, Blempied received a quar
terly payment which he chose
to devote to a crusade holiday
rather than to paying arrears of
his borough council rates. Having,
invited Smith and Paula to Join
the expedition, he took them for
a week into rural Oxfordshire
"making trouble - wherever we
go," as the parson put it though
' that was an exaggeration. The
question of country footpads
was, he admitted, his King

it was still possible to take the

, the pattern of life meant that
(as Blempied put it) they didnt
. think there was anything very
odd in one being a little odd.
Several times the parson spoke
on village greens to small, cur
ious, unenthusiastic audiences,
most of whom melted away when
v he suggested that there and then
they should march oyer the an-
- dent ground, breaking down any
barriers that might have been
erected during the past century
or so; but in one village there
was a more active response, dut
- to the fact that the closing of
a certain path had been recent
and resented. It was then that
' Blampied showed a certain child
V like pugnacity; he clearly de
prived enormous enjoyment from
: leading a crowd of perhaps fifty
persons, many of them young
sters out for a lark, through Hill
, top Farm and up Long Meadow
to the gap in the hedge that was
; now laced with fresh barbed
" wire. Smith found he could best
be useful in preventing the chil-

and a final shout from the Gen-:
eral: "What is blazes has this
business 'got to do with you, any
way? You don't live here." J
"And that" as Blampied said
afterwards, "from a man who
used to be governor of so many
islands he could only visit a few
of them once, a year so that any
islander might have met his 'ad
ministrative decisions with the
same retort "What's it got to do
with you? You don't live here!"
The notion continued to please
him as he added: "I was a. mis
sionary on one of those islands
till I quarreled with the bosses.
' I always quarrel with bosses . . "
Gradually Smith and Paula be
gan to piece together Blampied'a
. history. Born of a wealthy fam

up no less emphatically than they
