Is Senate I "Continuing Body?"
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

view now. " ' 1

Steel Merger Attacked
After two years of shadow boxing with the
department of justice, Bethlehem Steel has
decided to go ahead with its merger with
Youngstown Steel. Promptly the Justice de
partment announced it would challenge the
deal in court, claiming it is a violation of the
anti-trust laws. Bethlehem officials deny
this, saying that the consolidation still will
not be as big as U. S. Steel, now the No. One
producer. The government theory though, is
that It will serve to reduce competition in
the manufacture and sale of steeL
Justice has also moved in on other con
solidations, especially in the container indus
try, on the same grounds. 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. What it really means is still' left
to the courts to decide in particular cases.

reliable signs on a'pinbalr machine. It may
be for amusement only when police officers
are around. When they are out of sight, then
they may function as "iron bandits" without
even disturbing the sign. Polk, county of
ficers raided two establishments snd nabbed
machines allegedly used for psyoff games,
which makes them ' subject to destruction.
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 best remedy, though,
is the one Salem and Portland have adopted:
to bar the devices completely. On a revote
last month Portland again turned down the
pleas of the plnball contingent who have
found them highly profitable at tha cost of
the weak-willed. t
Opening of 17th street north to connect
with Portland road hat long been favored by
city planners. It was proposed by tha postwar
Long Range Planning Commission, and city
authorities bava kept lhl Idea alive. The

would require sttention for hsndling state
fair traffic, but that is a problem only for a
few days in the year. This north-south arter

building a string of atomic power

ford Works at Richland. Wash.
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. The amount ia still a
secret, but speculation is that k

depend on the volume of spend
ing. 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.

for the two children.

Nancy to thinking where she had

"I see you are admiring my
jacket," Martia said to Nancy
after they had talked for a while.
J "It comes from the captured light

from the green of an ocean wave
just before it ia about to break
on the shore."
That it where I have seen that

No Kitchens and Ne Food
Steve bad been lost in his own
thoughts for a long time. Sud
denly he said, "I know what Is to
different sbout these buildings.
You have no kitchens."
?No, we have no need for
food," Pipsqueak laughed.
"Well, I do," Steve replied
"As a matter of fact, I'm hungry
right now. I think we had better
be getting back to Santa's house
where I can get something to
eat."
"Just one thing before we go,"
Nancy Mid. "Pipsqueak, you have
been very nice to show us
through your beautiful city, but
we would like to have a talk with
you about what it is like to be a
toy. Could you come ana uik

ering the previous year, was
gathered in 1955.
Sharp I atresia
Great Importance is being at
tached to the growth ot these In
dustries. While their gains have
been part of the broad expansion
ef income and spending in recent
years, the outgo of dollars for
services has risen more sharply
than for consumer goods.
The ability to spend more for
services, as In Marion underscores
the advance in living standards.
More people have the money now
to indulge in such comforts snd
luxuries. They hsve sdded time
st their disposal, also, thanks to
the shorter work-week, and are
therefore spending more money
for recreation, which has expand
ed 29 percent, nationally, since

know much more about being a
toy than you ever could."
Steve and Nancy bid their
farewells to Martia and returned
to where Santa was waiting for
them.
"I guess I am too hungry to
see any more of the city," Steve
laid.
"Well, we can fix that right
awsy," Santa laughed.
"Remember, Pipsqueak," Nan
cy called back as they left. "You
are going to talk with us sfter
lunch."
"What's all this?" Ssnta said.
Toys Should Try te Please
"We thought that if we talked
to Pipsqueak and told hlro that
the real job ot a toy was to make
children happy he would stop
acting the way he does," Steve
answered.
Santa looked doubtful. "I've
tried to do that many times," he
said. "Of course, coming from
you children it might make more
of an impression on him."
Mrs. Santa had a delicious
snsck ot toasted cinnamon buna
snd strawberry jam ready when
the children returned to Santas
house through the long tunnel.
Back te SanU's Office
They returned to Santa's office
when they were through snd
found Pipsquesk waiting for
them.
f'irst Steve and Nancy told him
how wonderful they thought his
city, wai and. he-looked - very
pleased.
Then Steve began to tell him
about their life at home how
they played with their toys. Jlow
much he enjoyed using hit bat
and ball. How he rode on hit bi
cycle and pulled his wagon. Nan
cy told how she loved her dolls
and her toy stove.
Steve closed their little talk by
saying, "You see, we enjoy our

We treat them kindly, but they
must do as we tell them.
Space Toys Are Different
Pipsqueak tat silently for some
time looking at the floor. Finally
ha raised his head and said slow
ly, "I'm sorry. I like you children'
very much, snd I would love to
live with you. But we specs toys
srenot useless playthings like
wagons snd dolls. We are the
toys of a new sge. We cannot be
come the servsnts ot little chil
dren."
Slowly, he rose from his chair.
"There is nothing left for us to
do but to leave Santa's work
shops' snd go off by ourselves,"
he said. And with that he left
the office.
I wonder what Santa will ear
to that," Steve said to Nancy.
