PROPOSED ONE MILL ROAD TAX Yesterday we discussed the county road budget and paid particular attention to the expenditure that is proposed to taling $1 1.250. To us it definitely does not have the aspect it should have, that is, of a budjret made with the county's war needs in mind. We invite expressions on th subject from our readers. Today let us examine the other side of the budget proposal involving the income or revenue with which road expendi tures are financed. Against that proposed expenditure of $4 1,250 the budget work sheet shows a grand total of exint-ted income amounting to $86,906. The items are few. One. $10,000 from a proposed one mill tax, is in error. As stated yesterday, if there is a tax the county return will be around f8,000 rather than $10,000. That cuts the total to $84,906. On the other hand the county income from the motor vehicle fund seems under estimated by at least $2,o00 and correcting for that fact gives a total of $87,406. That is the figure we take to work with. If the full $44,250 of the budget is expended in the coming fiscal year the county will have a cash surplus in the road fund on June 30, 1944 of over $31,000. We think that the county neither should nor can spend its full proposed budget and that therefore the surplus will be more than $31,000. It will also have 87,400 in war bonds thus developing a balance of around $40,000. Our guess is that under the budget as proposed and with war conditions what they are the balance will be more than $40,000. Forty thousand dollars or thereabouts being the pros pective, indeed the assured, balance it is obvious that the proposed one mill tax (raising about $8,000) is not to be levied for road construction this coming year. Its purpose, obviously, is to help swell the reserve for after-the-war use. We believe, and we think that many agree, that it will be desirable to have a road fund for post-war use. There are two ways to build such a fund, one by economy in current spending and the other by levying taxes. The budget proposal is for the latter method only. There is no noticeable economy in a budget of $44,250. A levy of one mill does not make much of a burden. How ever, Bend property owners are faced with a higher city tax than last year and the federal tax load is growing continually. Without the proposed road levy the county will have over $30,000 as a post-war reserve. Does it need $8,000 more? Should today's taxpayers be forced to contribute to this fund? Our answer to these questions is "No." What do iax-' payers all over the country think? We invite correspondence on the subject. We suggest the desirability of informing the budget committee of your feelings on the subject. Perhaps we are all wrong. Perhaps it is desirable to raise $40,000 instead of $32,000. Perhaps the people would like to pay an extra mill on their taxes for the purpose. Let's learn what the sentiment is. Is it for a tax and no economy, for both economy and a tax or for economy and no tax? Soap sales are off but it Washington would come clean Donald Stockton Redmond.
