That's right! Because electricity costs to little

In the Willamette Valley electricity costs the
average family less than two per cent of itt

over the years. In the area PGE serves, home
electric rates have been cut 16 times, have in
creased only once, in the last 25 yean.

THREATENED NEXT YEAR
Thai Tax Boost Truman
Wants Might Come When?
By JAMES MAR LOW
Washington, Oct. 24 ) President Truman said he's going to
ask congress to raise taxes when
But the deadline for paying
1949 income doesn't arrive until
So. if congress listens to Mr.
1949 tax may go up before you
oav it in full next March?
Hardly. The chances against
that happening seem about 1,-
000.000-to-one.
If congress raises taxes next
year at ait, it almost certainty
will be on your 1950 income,
not on that for 1949.
(But Mr. Truman s idea of a
tax raise next year made pub
lie Thursday quickly got a sour
reaction among congressmen.)
In the first place, early this
year Mr, Truman asKea con
gress for a $4,000,000,000 tax
boost in 1949. Congress ignored
him.
It may ignore him again in
1950. But suppose in January
congress follows the president's
request and considers a tax in
crease. Just considering a tax boost
will take many weeks or months;
hearings, arguments, research by
the experts to figure how much
higher tax is really needed.
lengthy debates in house and
senate and so on.
Both houses have to approve
before there can he any new law
raising taxes. And the two hous
es seldom act at the same time
on anything. Usually they act on
the same bill weeks or months
apart.
In asking for the tax increase
this year, Mr. Truman wanted
it returns in January, 1950.
m full the tax you owe on your
March 15. 1950.
Truman, does this mean your
most of it to corre by increasing
corporation taxes, not income
taxes.
He may ask for the same kind
of boost next year. Then con
gress will have to decide wheth
er it wants to sock corporations
or individuals, or sock anyone.
Why the tax boost anyway?
Why does Mr. Truman keep
harping on that?
Government expenses are
greater than the money it's col
lecting in taxes to meet those
expenses. So Mr, Truman wants
taxes raised until the govern
ment can take in more than it
has to spend.
What s happening now gov
ernment spending beyond its
means is called deficit finan
cing or deficit spending.
when that occurs the govern
ment has to borrow money for
instance from banks, by selling
bonds to make up the differ
ence between the money It
spends and the taxes it collects
All this increases the public
debt which is now about $255,
000,000,000. Mr. Truman argues we'd be
in better shape to meet or ex
penses now if the 80th con
gress controlled by the repub
licans hadn't cut taxes a couple!
of years ago.
But the present 81st congress
