Shull, •Mlultnomah coun- ty commissioner, said that in his county 39 percent of the 1938 tax levy' wa> for social security pur- poses while another 36 percent was for debt service. Shull urged that the state restore the liquor reve- ’nues to the counties to which the Knox act rave them in order to r>- duce the property tax.

Wade, Oregon manager foe the Townsend movement, ap- peered before the commission to advocate a transaction tax as the solution for the financing problem being faced by both the state and Wasco Civic Club Hears Banker Talk Economics Blaine B. Coles Discusses Problems of Day, Citing Uncertainty as Cause The Wasco Civic Club heard Blaine B. Coles, vice president ot the First National Bank of Port land, last Monday night. Mr. Coles chose as his topic some economic questions that are uppermost in the minds of the leaders of the nation’s business since the depression of 1937 began. v He placed the responsibility for the drop in business on the uncer tainty that business men and others feel towsrd the future. This un certainty is principally about three things, he said, naming uncertainty about the government’s labor pol icy, its tax policy and its fiscal policy. The government, like all of as, can not live on its credit indefi nitely and must in the near future begin to retire, the national debt. Some modification of the capital gains tax and undistributed profits tax was fore cast and the possi bility of a national sales tax was mentioned. Mr. Coles said that in his opinion something would have to be done to amend the National Labor Re lations Act to that employers could have some voice In the set tlement of Jabor troubles. The government has nothing to say about jurisdictional disputes such as are hampering business in Port land now and there is no power to stop them except the labor un-' ions themselves. Despite these uncertainties * the speaker felt that business would be better by April as changes could be made by that time. Bpateess could adjust itself te any rates if they wera hut known in advance and were stable and not subject to change on abort notice. Produc tion in Oregon was good and expec- tstins wera excellent. The point was made that the present depression might be a good thing if it served to prevent a larger catastrophy at some future time. The revival of installment buying that ties up the income of producers for a long time to come is one of the causes of depressions and causes high inventories for a time. The Wasco High School glee club girls sang several numbers during the dinner which was serv ed at the Sherman hotel in Wasco. Others talked during the evening on subjects that concerned the poli cies of the club. The next meeting will be held at Moro and the subject chosen for discussion is the power problem.
