Taxes in Britain
While Britain has greatly improved its econ
omic position, thanks to the US loan' and Mar-j
hall plan aid, life for Britishers remains aus-r
tere. The burden of rearmament bears down on
already hard-pressed British taxpayers. The new
chancellor of the exchequer who lately turned
In the. new budget reported an increase of 940
million pounds in the total, spending. On balance
a deficiency of 150 million pounds remained.
To avoid cutting the welfare and educational
services dear to the Labor government's heart
the chancellor, Hugh Gaitskell, called for an
increase in taxes.
Already taxes in Britain are just about the
highest of any western nations; and while they
just about strip the wealthy of most all their
income they also burden the poor man. For ex
ample on net incomes before exemptions of
$2500 the US income tax is only $20 while the
British at the new rates will be $354. At $10,000
incomes the levies are $1,592 US and $4,217 GB.
These comparisons may not be wholly ac
curate however, for state and local taxes in this
country may exceed those in Britain. The Bri
tish get mora in social services but less in edu
cational opportunities. It is clear however that
the citizen of Britain carries a heavy load of
taxation, and that rearmament puts an added
strain on the economy.
Grange and DST
The state supreme court refused to take ori
ginal jurisdiction in a case brought by the state
grange and farmers' union attacking Governor
McKay's proclamation for daylight saving time;
The normal nrocedure is for cases to start in
the circuit court and reach the supreme court
on appeal. The supreme court refused to depart
from this rule. Its reasons were valid because
it is essentially an appellate not a trial court. ,
As a matter of fact we are not sure that the'
protesting -farm groups could get the circuit
court to assume jurisdiction. It isn't easy for a:
citizen to bring a case in court against a state
official. He has. to establish his cause of action,'
such as, that he is seriously damaged by the of
ficiai's decision.
In this case the grange and farmers union
are really out on a limb because the legislation
under which the governor acted was what they
supported two years ago and fought for on re-;
ferendum last year. The governor is giving them
what he thinks the law tells him to; but certain
ly not what they thought they were geting.

The story of i Willamette university as the

article in the March 31 issue of "School and
Society." The article is by Prof. Kenneth V.
Lottick of the university faculty and tells brief
ly the story of the founding of what grew into
the present university, from a meeting at the
"old Mission House" in Salem, Feb. 1, 1842. The
institution was not chartered until 1853, but had
long been operating as a school, for the legis
lature which -granted the charter was meeting in
the building of Oregon Institute whose name
was changed to Willamette university. Over a
century old, the, university is growing "from

Editorial Comment
WORK AFTER 65
Evidence of the undesirability of automatically
laying off employees at the age 65 regardless of
their ability continues to develop. The Bureau of
Old-Age and Survivors? Insurance finds that most
people work as long as they can and retire only be
cause they are forced to do so. Generally they need
the money. The Social Security Bulletin cites studies
of the retirements' of the beneficiaries of the gov
ernment's insurance showing that only about -5 per
cent left their jobs of their own accord, in good
health, to enjoy leisure.
Many fortunately manage to locate other work.
The United States Census Bureau reports that in
February of this year 768,000 men and women of
65 years and over -were employed. They make a big
and invaluable contribution to production.
Several desirable policies are indicated by these
facts. First is retention by management of the em
ployee who at 65 still gives first-class performance.
Second is a program for better shaping of job con
ditions by industry and retraining to enable quali
fied older workers to continue producing. Third, the
state may furnish a specialized counseling and
placement service to locate suitable job openings
and connect older people with the opportunities.

meaningless line of the thirty

4. Given both the fears and
the ambitions which communist
doctrine engenders, it was then
at least logical that the Chinese
communists . should intervene. It
was logical that : surprise and
numerical superiority should give
the Chinese initially a great mi
litary advantage. And it was lo
gical also that mobility, fire pow
er, and air domination, all of
which the Chinese lacked, should
then swing the military advant
age against the communists.
5. It was then logical that .the
Soviets should; try to make up
these deficiencies, ! by supplying
the missing components for a
successful offensive transport,
heavy weapons and offensive air
power r- to their Chinese satel
lites. This the Soviets have now
apparently done, and an offen
sive is in prospect,
- This is where we stand now.
: Fortunately for the sanity of the
human race, the future is un
knowable. But consider the steps
which could logically derive from
the present situation, whatever
President Truman! or Gen. Mac
Arthur may- propose or desire: .

power for the j first time behind '

war. Perhaps he is reading how Theodore Roo
sevelt recalled Gen. Arthur Mac Arthur, father
of Douglas, from: the Philippines and how Taft
(William H. not) Robert) passed over General
A. MacA. in appointing a chief of staff. Perhaps
he is reading how the friends of Gen. Leonard
Wood stormed when Pres. Wilson denied him
the opportunity of heading an army overseas in
the first world war. Undoubtedly Truman will
find more consolation in such reading than in
much of the current newspaper comment or the

equally certain that Truman is counting a ver

; 8. This will be the great turn
ing point But judging from the
Chinese precedent, the Russians
will then logically intervene,
whether openly or in some thin
disguise. This will lead to a third
World War.
: It is President Truman's posi
tion that somewhere between five
and six, or at least between six
and seven, this deadly chain of
logic can be broken. But he does
not say at all how this is to be
done. It is Gen. MacArthur's
position that six and seven can
be undertaken with decisive ef
fect, and without bringing on
eight. But he gives no convincing
reasons for believing either that
the effect will be decisive, or that
the Russians will not intervene.
: But what Is clear from the
foregoing is that events, rather
than the views of MacArthur or
Truman, will determine our fu
ture course. The fact is that the
United States alone cannot break
the chain, simply because the
United States cannot and will not
adopt a policy of appeasement or
Surrender. Yet the chain may yet
be broken. Events are sure to

Japanese Yiew
On MacArthur
To the Editor: r
I have just received a letter
from a 22-year-old student at
the Waseda University in Tokyo,
written last Saturday. As Wa
seda has several thousand stu
dents it is quite possible that he
speaks for most of Japan.
He wrote: "An atmosphere of
great shock now spreads through
not only Tokyo but the whole
of Japan. Of course, it is General
MacArthur's removal. It is the
biggest affair we have experi
enced since the war is over.
"All Japanese are much
shocked and when we heard of
that, we could not say anything
for a while. Our people's respect
and faith for General MacAr
thur are too big for words. Some
of our people are crying at hear
ing of his removal. As for me,
their heartache is my heartache.
I shall not forget the name,
MacArthur, through my whole
life. He was literally God and
Savior for us Japanese.
"I can well understand the
reason for his removal. To be
frank with you, it is the chief
reason, I believe, that he was
too God-like, too Savior-like for
us. Also. I can understand Tru-'
man's reason for his replace
ment. However, I'm thinking if
there would be a better counter
measure or not? At any rale,
our people, except the commu
nists, are disappointed and los
ing some kind of energy.
"At the present, we are not
interested in new Commander
Ridgway's personality. Under
such situation, I think, United
Nations forces will be defeated
in all Korean field, for they, the
communists, are very cunning.

about MacArthur's matter."

which go chiefly to the counties.
On the other hand the counties
are quite willing to have these
capital outlays borne by pro
ceeds of sales of timber. What
the counties will settle for is an
assured 50 per cent of gross re
ceipts. While the government bodies
are arguing over the .percentage
cut they need to be alert to
changes In administrative policy
which may greatly reduce the
amount to be divided. Pressures
are being exerted against the
bureau's access road program
which is designed to hold the
door open for competitive bid
ding on timber. If these prevail
then private owners of inter
mingled lands may have a virt-
uai monopoly on purcnase 01 u
Se C timber. The New York
Times so far is the only news
paper which has given a report
on this vitally important subject,
Lawrence Da vies, its west coast
reporter having covered the sub
ject in a series of four articles
early in April.
The public interest extends not
only to a fair division of pro
ceeds, but to the proper manage
ment of these rich land .and
timber resources for the benefit
of all, at present and for the in
definite future.
In another decision the house
appropriations committee turned
down the request of the reclama
tion bureau for $1,700,000 to
start building the Columbia
river-California : electric tie-in
transmission line. The commit
tee rapped the knuckles of the
bureau and called on Secretary
Chapman of the interior depart
ment to report on how come the
bureau had spent money on pre
liminary - work ' on : at project
whose authorization had been
refused last year. This action
clips the wings of the ambitious
plans of the bureau for connec
tions with west coast federal
power projects.

Abolishment of the so-called

state board of control to exact a
toll of 10 per cent on surplus pro

Members of the advisory com

that the $7,500,000 realized from

Start Writer, The Statesman ' J
A long-range reapportionment plan which could not tak .ffw
until 1955 sped through the house Friday with only 11 dissenting votes
and virtually no debate.' j
The measure, a proposed constitutional amendment introduced by
Rep. E. H. Mann, Medford, would have to be approved at the next
It would increase the size of the
senate from 30 to 35 members and
of the house from 60 to 09 repre
sentatives. Senators would be elected on a
population basis. One representa
tive would be elected from each
county with the remaining 33 to
be named according to population.
Marion county's 1 reDresentation
would be unchanged.
Only Rep. G. D. Gleason, Port
land, lashed out against the meas
ure. "The legislature has voted to
continue operating unconstitution
ally, so let's be consistent. This is
just an attempt to make legal,
what has been illegal in the past,"
he said.
Gleason referred to the fact that
the legislature has not reappor
tioned for 40 years, although the
constitution specifically requires
such action after each federal cen
sus. '
Representatives earlier this week
overwhelmingly rejected the
Young Republican club's reappor
tionment proposal which would
have divided both houses on a po
pulation basis, as required by the
constitution.
Mann's plan is expected to face
a stiff fight in the senate which.
under his proposal, could be con
trolled by the votes of four Wil
lamette valley counties Marion,
Lane, Clackamas and Multnomah.
These counties would have 18 of
the 35 senators.
Multnomah, and Lane counties
would get the biggest increase in
representation under the Mann
proposal. Multnomah would have
11 senators and 17 representatives.
It now has six senators and shares
one with two other counties and
has 14 representatives and shares
one.
Lane would have five represen
tatives and three senators. It now
has three representatives and has
one senator and shares one with
