V FIRST CHURCH OF C H R lSt. SCIENTIST Presbyterian Church 13ti N orth Main S treet INSULATE YOUR HOME For A Cooler Summer A Warmer Winter Last week we had a chance to listen to a representative group of citizens of this community discuss the pending 3 -per cent gross tax bill which supporters of the Townsend plan intend to present at the November election. This bill asks for a 3 't tax on ALL "gross income of every person, firm, association, co-partnership or corporation residing or doing bus iness in Oregon.” It will thus tax all wages, salaries, receipts of busi nesses without any deductions, exemptions, or allowance for cost of production or cost of merchandise sold. A 3% gross tax which will strike at the consumer and the small businessman will do more to create inflation within the state of Ore gon than any relaxation of price controls. Opinions among the group to which W'e listened varied as to reasons why the 3 'i gross tax would be undesirable but all agreed that the hardest hit would be the people whose incomes are small. Each time that a housewife buys a 1< if of bread she wou'd pay a three per cent tax, on the selling price of the bread. The grocer would have already paid a three per cent tax when he bought the bread from the baker, that three per cent "which he paid would naturally have been added to the retail selling price, so that the housewife would also have to pay that additional three per-cent. Then of course the baker would have had to pay various three per cent taxes on flour and other in gredients which go into the making of a loaf of bread. These taxes he would have to pass on to the grocer, who inturn w-ould pass them on to the housewife. In the final analysis this pyramiding, of taxes on gross sales means that Mrs. Housewife, would have to pay the total gross sales on all previous sales of component parts of a loaf of bread or any item w'hich she bought. I t’s the consumer w'ho pays, and here in Oregon where there are thousands of small families, living on middle class incomes, the pyr amided gross sales tax would cause either indebtedness or inflation. The group which was concerned with this problem the other night were middle class people, just good ordinary Ashland citizens who felt that it was enough of a threat to the well being of their homes and families and income to spend some time discussing ’ w ays and means to combat it. It would be well if every family would discuss this threat before the November elections, and would make plans to keep Oregon safe from inflation and pyramided gross sales taxation.

Golf is a game that can be played by both boys and girls, it is particu larly adaptable to recreational programs for the teen age groups. It would be well to consider the golf course in any plans the YMCA, the Chamber of Commerce, or any other organization has for youth re NOW creation. The Chamber of Commerce has already brought the matter up to the various city officials, proposing that the city either operate the AND club as a Municipal course or turn it back to a local organization. At present the course is being used as a cow pasture. Mrs. Housewife Will Pay and Pay DAD LIKES THESE TOO H. J. PATTERSON 145 North Main " I f Yon Have. A Flat, See.
