DECEMBER 16, ’^2 MOR \XES ait io be e » g atul ted this 'The proponents ut u. group is composed of tho^e v ho I eat\t iL t ibe cxp< rses of th» state cannot be reduced to ihe size ci tl.e income ar.d those who believe that their personal welfare would rot be w* 11 se ved if the expenses of the state were so reduced Working together they have persuaded the Eastern Oregon Wheat League, the Oregon Wool Growers, the county officials in So far the convention assembled that the sales tax is necessary Grange is the only farm organization holding cut agaimt t! e sales tax and demanding economics in slate goverrm nt. The other groups have put themselves ih tl e । os txn of the farmers wife who was told by her sxuse that when the l.oisel uj- er caHed she was to ask $100 for li e hors in the bain, hut if she couldn’t get that to take 590 The lady, not being \eised in ihe wiles of horse trading, in a ■ ay v hen It rse ti«d rg 1; d v. i’es,«stat- el her entire instruction to the horse bu)tr with tie iesuit that she received $90 for the horse The groups of farmeis and officials that 1 tve lord the ta'es tax proponents have vo ed for that measure because they prcfcirtd it to a re«mposition of the property tax. All of these organizations have neglected to ask for economies great enough to make neithei the sales tax nor the property tax necessary It may be that it is absolutely impossib'e for the state govern ment to reduce expenses sufficiently to evade the imposition o< other taxes than are now levied z One cannot judge of that with out more definite information than has been given out by the offi cials. But, be it remembered, almost without exception every tax ing unit in the state has cut expenses in varying degrees up to fifty percent except the state itself When county governments were faced with lowered incomes they were forced to reduce government cists. When the state is faced with the same condition the talk is of new taxes or a revival of old taxes. Furthermore, when tax reduction arguments become insistent, it is'suggeste 1 that cuts be made in the most important functions of the state instead of in the most useless. .For instance, the board of higher education has saved almost two million dollars in the last biennium partly through their own initiative and partly through the veto of the bill providing a part of its funds. Probably the board can make greater economies, but certainly education should not bear the brunt of criticism until other state activities have re duce 1 proportionately. , When a farmer finds it nececsary to reduce his personal ex- penses he doesn’t begin by refusing to buy scholl books for his children and kicking the famfy dependents cut into the street. The state might well follow the policy of eliminating the unnecer. sary items in government, then the things we hke but can do with out before crippling the necessary functions of the state. Let the major emphasis be placed on reduction first and abate some of this hurry to find a substitute f r taxes until we are cer- tain one will be needed ------ 0—.— IS IT COLD For once we have a question on which everyone can agree. And after national elections that caused noticeable disagreement among the entire people, and state elections wherein people show- «d an inclination to differ radically with their neighbors and after county elections that caused positive ill feeling in some quarters so strong was the disagreement it is a rather pleasant relief to find a t .pic on which there is a unanimity of opinion Everyone says it is cold Better y^t, folks do not grudgingly admit the chilliness of the wea ther as if they had recently been convinced by a masterly radio address or conclusive facts in the hands of an adversary, No, there is nothing half I carted about it, people shout it when meet ing on the street as if personally completely certain of the truth oi their statement. And taking an old saw for it—through old saw* are some times wrong- what everyone says must be so It is cold. “It is the east wind, the radical, that has caused this general agreement There is no: hing pkasant about an east wind; it is either freezingly cold, as in winter, or so hot, as in summer, that it changes everything in nature to its temperat ire and convinces everyone of its potency But we were concerned primarily with the unanimity of opin ion about the prevailing weather. If oi e desirous of political preferment could convince voter* so quickly to a given thought, how powerfuLhe might become; even a Roosevelt might envy him, though what for is a trifle beyond our understanding. ------- o-------- _ - No bootlegger i-fgoing to feel very I adly ever thelprices anno unced for government whiskey. —d-------- Judges also would like to ride cheaper.
