Senators who seek to modify Senate rules ta permit cloture of debate by a majority vote may be hoisted on the petard of prece dent The question arises on whether, new rules of the new Senate may be adopted by a majority vote, or whether, a two-thirds vote is needed to effect a change ia the rules. It hir;ii on the Issue of whether the Senate is a "continuing body" or not If tt Is, then a two-thirds vote would be required for the rule char.;. If it is not a continuing body, the a majority vote would suffice. ' f enator Humphrey of Minnesota who Is one of the group favoring the new rule (which would permit halting of filibusters against civil rights legislation) takes the position the Senate is not. a continuing body, but a new rjanteation which can adopt its rules by ma-' jority vote. However, numerous precedents may be pointed to in which the continuity of the Senate was the accepted view. One of the latest was in the McCarthy censure pro-ceciir-t. Action s-ainst McCarthy waa chal lerr"l because, some of the matters com ph red cf had occurred In a previous Cou rse 5. The Senate however upheld the ruling tha the Senate was a continuing body. Since a'J er most of the senators favoring this rule ch ... -;! surrorted the "continuing body" the ory ia the McCarthy affair, they will be so cu d of inconsistency in taking the oppo- -i.'.t view now. " ' 1 Vice President Nixoir is said 4o havo been i. ; lying the rules and precedents because he mill probably have tff make a ruling when the matter comes up at tha opening session cf the Senate in the 85th Congress.

Promptly the Justice de partment announced it would challenge the deal in court, claiming it is a violation of the anti-trust laws.

The court pro ceedings will grind along for months, snd the outcome is uncertain, for each case will be decided on its own array of facts. This proceeding is different from the one launched by the federal trade commission over the merger of International Paper and Long-Bell. The FTC is attacking the consol idation as unlawful, but the final decision there will rest with the courts. The anti-trust laws give area protection against monopoly, but as tools they are slow and unwieldy. Many attempts have been made to reexamine the Sherman act in the light of modern industrial conditions, but not many changes have been made In the law's text.

While it is hard to police these devices, these crackdowns with assessment of fines and confiscation of machines help to keep down Illegal operations.

The administration was success ful in stopping this bill. But since then, with Democrat! retaining control of Congress at a result of the election, the ad ministration has decided to liberalise its approach by offering greater financial inducement to private firms to build new power plants.

Comparison with California would be different because Cali fornia combines both a sales tax and an income tax with relative ly high exemptions. In spite of the difficulties' of making these, comparisons the interim legislative tax committee haa had such a study prepared for the three states, by Us staff headed by Thure A. Llndstrom ' Jr., its executive director, who previously waa a statistical ana lyst for the tax commission. Lindstrom has used the data compiled by the census bureau and by the- commission on local governmental relatione and has made aa accurate ?a comparison as is possible with available In formation. The committee has published the ensuing report, with tables of figures and anal yses, and boiled down the evi dence with a 20-point summary. The significant findings are these: The Oregon tax structure fa vors lower income families. Un der the Washington system taxes are higher than In the other two atates for a family with income of under $5,000. In the Oregon California comparison the tax burden is about the same for family incomes up to $9,000, but above that the Oregon weight is heavier. Atr- rhrer Pacific" Coast "slates Impose heavier taxes, measured in per cent of personal Income, than the national average. That percentage is about uniform for the three states, but because Oregon's per capita income is the lowest its per capita tax burden Is the lowest. . . " , ,. , . The burden of the tax income is heavier in Oregon than Califor- nia. on the basis of the 19.13 sta tistics used in the study. The dis parity is increased by the 195J surtax of 45 per cent Taxpayers f- "JlJK.? ' rJS2?2 in high brackets in Oregon and California pay more than simi larly situated Washingtonians do in sales taxes. - Corporations pay about .. the same rates of tax on net in comes in Oregon and California, The Washington business and oc cupation tax bears more heavily on firms with low profit margin and is lighter on high-profit cor porations, in comparison with taxes paid on net Incomes by corporations in the other two states. Now whst does all this add up to? Simply that those in lower income brackets fare better tax-wise in Oregon than in the other states. None of the states is a tax haven for corporations. Any loss of Industry to Washing ton because of taxes may be due to personal decision of managers whs seek to escape payment of a state income tax. it must be remembered however that state and local taxes are deductible on federal tax returns, so that the penalty of a higher state tax ia softened by the lighter federal income lax The study really just confirms whst was pretty well understood by. those familiar with the tax structures of the several states. Taxes are high ia all the coast states because the people demand a high standard of government- ana lots of it. They seem to hurt more In Oregon because our wealth la less than that of our coast neighbors. . What we Oregonians need to do is to devote less attention to the shifting of tax burdens and ferreting out more sources of revenue and more attention to holding down the costs of state and local government.
