Sales Tax Bobs Up Again
Faced with the necessity of raising revenues
far in excess of the ability of current sources to
produce, the Oregon legislature is almost sure to
trot out another sales tax measure. It is not of
the legislators' choosing but a matter forced upon
them by the people in voting measures calling
for additional revenues but not providing the
means other than to say that the legislature will
be charged with the duty of finding the money.
Proponents of the education bill were warned
by legislators that the tax barrel had been scrap
ed clean and that a new source of revenue would
have to be created if a property tax levy is to be
avoided. Property owners had the same warning
but they voted in favor of the measure, enough
of them at least to help put it over.
One of the arguments advanced by the propon
ents was that this was a measure in which all
citizens would join in meeting the additional cost
of operating the schools. At the same time it was
suggested that a property tax could be levied to
meet that cost That is a fact. Such a levy could
be made without bankrupting the property own
ers, but why penalize them when through a sales
tax non-property owners could meet their share
of the obligation and in doing so perhaps elimin
ate the property tax. That is something that most
likely will come in for a lot of debating when the
legislature takes up the matter of funding the
school bill and other measures requiring new finances.
Shows Improvement
President Truman's message on the "state of
the nation" appears to have met with more favor
than similar messages delivered in the past.
Nothing sesnational was injected and the Presi
dent evidently made an earnest attempt to pre
sent the situation as it exists. He did not agree
with some of the proposals made relative to lim.
iting the country's sphere of influence but he did
show a tendency to accept constructive criticism
in a manner not heretofore tolerated by him. To
that extent he has made a long step in the direc
tion of effecting solidarity and unity of purpose in
coping with the grave problems the nation is
facing.
The President has asked that party lines be for
gotten and also indicated that he is willing to
set aside his social program in favor of the one
great effort to place the nation on a footing to
meet any emergency.
This is truly a reversal of form and something
that will meet with the approval of the public,
albeit some of the senators and representatives
who have been in direct contact with the trudea
will do some watchful waiting before committing
themselves in an open hearted manner to the
program laid out by Mr. Truman. This will not

Still Going Strong
Contrary to the stated opinions of some of our
citizens at the time it was organized, the Hepp
ner Chamber of Commerce is still in operation
and it might be said is still going strong. Mem
bership has fluctuated some throughout the ten
years of its existence but in the main it has re
mained at a point where effective operation has
been possible at all times. Attendance has been
good ever since adoption of the Monday luncheon
schedule and the club enters upon the eleventh
year with the prospect of attaining larger attend
ance and extending its services to include a wid
er sphere of activities.
