U.S. Chamber For Cut Costs WASHINGTON (UP) The president of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce has advocated that government spending be slashed by one-fourth. President Clem D. Johnston said he has been around govern ment agencies for "a good many years" and knows of none that "couldn t do an adequate job on 25 per cent less expenditure than they are now making." Johnston, participating in a ra dio panel discussion on the na tional economy, said reduced spending would mean lower tax es. He said even the Defense De partment could stand some cut ting in appropriations but-"without any essential impairment of our defence effort." He cited as a typical example of "fat" the needless spending of 45 million dollars a month now being paid in extra veterans ben efits under the Korean GI bill of rights. The government is expected to put veterans' benefits on a peace time basis soon to reduce such payments. Youths entering the army now can still get, on dis charge, benefits originally intend ed only for those who served during war time. Athlete Drowns Skating on Dam Lake GRAND COULEE.

A'A 22nd i til' MF8S -foixmp I, i;tv. ar:i' vE'S"" Income Taxes Descend Over $2 Million Income (ax collr-rtlnn for the first five month of the lf4-55 fiscal year ending November 30, were more than $2 million below collections for a similar period in the 1053-54 fiscal year, the State Tax Commission announcrd Tuesday. The total for the five months was $18,435,324.12 as compared with $20,368,996.72. Of the total collections 13,532,122.24 were personal income tax pay ments and $1,903,201.29 cor porate excise tax collections. In the same five months of the previous fiscal year $20. 368,996.72 was collected in all income taxes, of which $14,464, 023 was in personal taxes and $5,904,201. The drop In corporate In come taxes was attributed par tially to the closure of most of the lumber industry in Oregon for a number of months last summer when the lumber strike was In progress. This view was confirmed by the fact that there were only 10 less corporate income tax returns filed in the five months, the figure in the last five months being 1,847 returns against 1,857 returns in the five months of the 1953-54 fiscal year.
