And it has brought about many practices which are detrimental to citizens and communities. Practically all businesses in Oregon permit their stocks to run down to a minimum during Decem ber in order to have less on hand January 1. This has an effect of penalizing the public since business cannot provide adequate service to cus tomers. Actually the tax on certain types of slow-moving, low margin merchandise amounts to more in some cases than can be earned In the sale, especially if it must-be carried over extra tax periods. Over in Sweet Home last week a shingle man ufacturer made an announcement which may be adopted by many other businesses in Oregon as time goes on unless the state takes a bit more realistic attitude on the Inventory tax. The shingle company, employing over 4,0 people and with a payroll of $14,000 a month, will lay then sell for whatever he can on the open mar ket every bundle of shingles In his plant. This will leave nothing for the county to as sess and tax on January 1. The plant will resume operation January 5. The firm declared it had reached its decision reluctantly and realized that it was unfair to the crew which could use these wages, especially at this time of the year. But from the standpoint of hard, cold dollar and cents savings, the firm be lieved it would be ahead by closing its plant and dumping its inventory on the open markets. Here's a case where the county and state will probably lose more taxes than they would gain on the inventory assessment. Forty men will be idled for two weeks. They will pay no taxes on earnings. They will buy less for Christmas, all of which is taxed a hundred ways by the federal, state and county governments. The entire com munity will In one way or another feel the ef fects of this layoff of wage earners. It is a result of over taxation, of confiscatory taxation, of unfair taxation. parents, Mr and Mrs Dewey West, E C Amspoker, Crocket Sprouls Sr in Arlington.

Chats With Your Home Agent By ESTHER KIRMIS While attending the Morrow County Wheat Growers meeting at Lexington Grange hall a few weeks ago, several of the women asked Frances Barnlck, Oregon Wheat League home economist, if she had the recipe for that "German's chocolate cake" they had heard so much about. She had only a few of the leaflets left, so I promised that I would put the recipe In my chats so that more could have It. From one woman to another, starting with an anonymous homemaker somewhere In Texas, the recipe for this chocolate cake has spread with fabulous swift ness across the nation. Every where it Is greeted with raptur ous enthusiasm. Many women have varied the recipe slightly. . tried a new frosting . , changed the name.

There are several other out standing officials who may be come victims of political plum itree shaking. Governor Holmes says he will make appointments to fill the more Important posts to be va cated. Mark Hatfield says he will not make an effort to remove any of Holmes' appointees. "I mav let it be known that I would appreciate some resignations but we are not going to have a donnybrook about It." "I can learn to live with any one," says Hatfield. "We will not have any impolite firings.
