A NATURAL DECISION
James Short, state chairman of
the Oregon Republicans, says that
it is his belief that that party
should place less emphasis on
private power in campaigns. It
is our observation that tnere is
little difference in the percentages
of members of either party who
favor public power although the
more radical Democrats have
made it appear that all Republi
cans are opposed to public power.
One of the main difficulties in
the power problem is that there
has been too much emotion inject
ed Into It. When public power
was first started it was dene, its
adherents said, to give a sort of
yardstick whereby the efficiency
of private power could be mea
sured. That sounded sensible.
Now we have public power enthu
siasts who would like to crowd
out all private power entirely
and thus exchange a government
monopoly for a private monopoly.
As l>etween the two a private
monopoly Is much easier broken
and preferable for that reason.
We think Mr. Short is on solid
ground. Power has held the cen
ter of the political stage far long
er than it should.
The cost of
¡»ower Is not an Important part
of the cost of living nor the cost
of manufacturing of many things.
The center of attention might bet
ter be given to taxes. The political
difference between government
based on security and on freedom
is another Important difference
lietween the two parties.
If the Republicans stand for
the right of the American individ
ual to go Into any business he
likes, If it favors policies encour
aging young men to venture new
things for the sake of possible
gain, If It stands for a reduction
In the power of government over
the lives of citizens It will be In
the American tradition and will
eventually attract the support of
Americans, even though some of
them have l»een trained to think
of government as a haven for the
weak and the spiritless.
We cannot read In history that
Americans have long been afraid
of freedom nor can we find any
phlllosophy that promises success
for those who prefer security to
freedom.
SUPREM E COURT
The supreme court of the United
States is und«r severe criticism
over a handful of decisions made
In the past few weeks. Most of
them were holding that Investi
gation and criminal methods used
by government did notrgive suf
ficient protection to Individuals.
Although the court weakened
the power of the FBI by making
its Information available to the
defense, which seems too drastic,
the general trend of the decisions
will probably be acclaimed as cor
rect in time.
It must be remembered that we
are an emotional people who have
been very much alarmed about
communists in government. We
have had a few but seem to have
gotten rid of most of them. The
same thing happened after World
War I. Within a few years we got
back to normal and quit being
afraid.
The court evidently thinks we
should be ready to do It again.
TAX COMMISSION CHANGE
We are unable to tell from news
accounts exactly what the changes
will do that have been announced
in the state tax commission
It
appears that the tax commission
members will become a tax court,
leaving to hired employees the
management job of collecting the
taxes. There has long been talk
of making a tax court so as to
take away from the commission
the duty of both administration
and judicial decision on appeals
and it isn't a bad idea except that
complaints were not numerous,
nor serious.
The men appointed to the new
administrative positions are cap
able men and might soon learn
their Jobs. Mr. Eymann, who be
comes executive secretary, has
small experience in taxation mat
ters and appears to have been ap
pointed on the basis of need in
stead of qualification for the post.
What he will do has not been ex
plained.
Taxpayers will realize that ad
ministrative changes in the tax
commission will not benefit them
unless it brings greater efficien
cy. It is not the commission that
has caused their discontent In the
main; It is the legislature. Until
Oregon gets a legislature that will
respond
to the wishes of the
citizens in reducing the burden of
government no commission can
please the people.
Even when
candidates promise repeal of a
bad tax they do not do it (the re
cent legislature being an exam
ple) and there can Ire no relief
until such political morals are re
pudiated by the voters.
While administrative changes
may tie desirable they cannot
cure the basic 111 of Oregon taxa
tion.
