INCREASE INCOME TAX
Ona of the methods of increasing the revenue of the federal
ly do as much to aid the gov-
ernment’s finàadal position as any other. This is the method of
ent congress and yet it would
to income taxes the same as are other investments.
There has been pressure exerted on government to issue bonds
in order that investors could buy tax-exempt securities. This has
tended to increase public expenditures with its consequent over
burdening of tax-payers- With taxes so high that they can hardly
be paid taxpayers fee! that those who are profiting at their expense
should pay their share -
Of course it would require a constitutional amendment to
make this change, but in times like these it would meet with public
approval to increase the scope of government taxation From
sources always found reliable it is asserted that there are thirty
eight billion dollars invested in tax free bonds Interest on these
must amount to nearly two million dollars per year that the gov
ernment is unable to tax
Enactment of such a law would make
tax evasions more difficult and would simplify income tax collec
tion. It would also do away with the theory so often expressed by
ex Secretary Mellon that a higher income tax rate drove investors
to government bonds and lowered the tax income of the govern
ment.

FIRE DEPARTMSNT.
Residents of Wasco freely state that the saving made through
the organization of a fire department has amounted to at least ten
percent of their former insurance bill. Our information is that
savings of this percentage are not uncommon in this state in towns
that provide some better means of fighting fires than the unorgan
ized, volunteer, everybody for himself method.
Moro pays a high insurance rate for two reasons. One is
caused by the small size of the water mains and cannot be remed
ied without considerable expense. The other reason for a high
rate here is the lack of any fire fighting organization and the in
ability of the volunteers to take what equipment there is available
to the fire either speedily or surely.
This condition can be remedied by the city itself taking the
necessary steps toward organizing a fire department; by interested
business men or the Commercial Club sponsoring such a move,
ment; or by the formation or a fire fighting unit within a district
of which the city may be a part and which would give fire pro
tection to farm homes as well as city property.

the result—twenty-two hearts palpitating for companionship held
apart by the excessive cost of the government license.
Now if government is to be reduced in cost to the taxpayer
why not institute a movement to make it less expensive to those
who use its services. Fishing licenses are still at their war time
figures; dog licenses costs more than they did; and down payment
on a wife or husband remains the same as it was during the pros
perous war days although the upkeep is considerable less.
Really, something should be done about it.
