Page 2 FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1936 SOUTHERN OREGON MINER Southern Oregon Miner MINER’S Suoceaaor to THE JACKSONVILLE MINER Published Evary Friday at 107 East Main Street ASHLAND, OREGON Entered as second-class matter February 15. 1985, at the postofiice at Ashland, Oregon, under the act of March 3. 1879. j Publisher A E LaDieu PHONE ASHLAND 70 Subscription Rates, in Advance: One Year SI .00 Six Months 5Oc 1 CITY HALL TO STATE HOUSE Even in these days of big figures, $335,000,000 is a lot of money. It amounts to almost three dollars for every person in this country. That is the sum that was added to the state and I local public debt of the nation in 1935, according to the National Industrial Conference Board. It does not in clude the increase in Federal debt, which was much greater. The total state and local debt at the end of last y°ar was well in excess of $19,000,000,000. That works out | to a little more than $800 for each representative Am-1 erican family of four. The federal debt is somewhere ■ around the $30,000,000,000 mark, bringing the total I public debt obligation of each family to over $2,000. Direct taxes of most people will never amount to that much money, but, nevertheless, each person will pay in some form his proportionate share of carrying and retiring that gigantic debt. Every time you buy a week’s groceries or a stick of gum. part of the cost goes to the government. Federal, state and local. Every time you attend a movie, part of the cost isn't for en- tertainment.but for taxes. And the greater the debt, the greater the total tax load must be on earnings, property, food, clothing and all necessities. The place to start a campaign for tax reduction is the federal government. But local units of government mustn’t be overlooked. There is plenty of waste from city hall to state house. And you, the taxpayer, are footing the bill. I -------- a-------- THE RIGHT TO PUBLISH We read with regret the conditions under which the Seattle P. I. suspended publication. Two men working in the editorial department were discharged and be cause they were members of the American Newspaper Guild, several other unions in Seattle joined with them and put a picket line around the building. Union men. members of the typographical and pressmens union, who wanted to work, could not because they would not pass the picket lines. We are in favor of unions and what they stand for, but we do object to the racketeers in some of the un ions. Why should a newspaper be forced to suspend pftblication when union men working in the plant are satisfied with their scale of wages and want to work.! Will the sane union people of Seattle let themselves be controlled by a few’ racketeers?. We feel that when the people working on a newspa per are satisfied with working conditions the newspa per certainly has a right to publish without the inter ference of racketeers in outside unions.
