MARCH «,
HOMBHTBAÜ EXEMPTION
The Oregon legislature has
some bills that would grant a tax
exemption to elderly persons of
certain financial status. Governor
Hatfiekl is said to favor some
thing of the sort also. We do not.
If we want to do something for
the old folks as the plea runs we
might do it better than to meddle
with the equality of taxes to
achieve it. We might let them
work, for example, instead of put
ting them on a basis of helpless
citizens.
There are dozens of jobs elders
can do just as well as anyone
and in any case labor is much
easier, physically, than it was in
the days when these elders were
working. Social security which
was designed for elders has done
them more harm than good be
cause it l»as made them a class
apart.
Suppose, for example, that we
do waive taxes on homes occu
pied and owned by elders with in
comes of under $2500 If the home
Is worth less than $7500. Definite
limits are unfair. A $2500 income
is worth more in a small town
than in a city and a $7500 home
is better in the small town.
There is nothing fair alxiut it and
the only desirable result—if that
could be so called—would in? the
glow of satisfaction the legisla
tors would get out of it.
A much better policy would 1*?
for the legislature to spend Its
time reducing the taxes so that
more persons could reach the
age of 05 with enough to keep
them.
H E I.E 4 T I V E H E K V K E
Oregon Is undergoing some
thing of an argument over whe
ther the military men who have
tx*en in charge of selective service
should be continued in that job
or civilians should take over if
oeslred by the administration.
Under the circumstances we go
along completely with the civil
ian. We know of no reason why
selective service should be in the
hands of generals retired or other
wise.
In Oregon the national
guard has been fluent in its
praise but it doesn't seem to have
convinced many fiersons that It
has been efficient. Certainly the
national guard has little to do
with selective serviœ.
Therefore, we hope Governor
Hatfield slays by his guns and
appoints Sprague Carter to the
post and if the argument causes
a long and critical look at the
national guard, we'll look, too.

It seems likely that this legis
lature will pass the bill putting

It used to be that an employvi
had to hin* four persons before he
qualified as an employer under
the act. It was recently reduced
to two.
Such a hill has been before the
legislature for years ami It was
always possible to defeat It until
this rather labor guided group of
legislators came along

that thousands are out of work.
Heal reason for passing this
restrictive law is not to help the
workers; it is to show the power
of labor leaders who must have a
