Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, April 18. 1981-8EVEN A; W ill) .hlklillf Here'i hoping we all got our tax reports correct and mailed them before laxt midnight. I came across a few appropriate remarks that are more amusing today than they were yesterday. Mortimer Caplan, former IRS Director admitted "There is one difference between a tax collector and a taxidermist the taxidermist leaves the hide." Art Buchwald, the columnist, wrote "Tax reform is when you take off things that have been taxed In the past and put taxe on things that haven't been taxed before." An anonymous writer made this statement awhile back "One difference between death and taxes is that dealh doesn't get worse every time Congress meets." I've tried to smile about taxes, but I find that my mind keeps going back to the really disturbing cover article in this month's "Oregon" magazine by Ron Lovell "Cheating and Winning" which considers tax evasion for fun and profit and that points out that one quarter of the adult citizens of Oregon pay the state too little--and get away with it. "Many simply don't file reports. Women engage in forms of tax evasion as frequently as men. Elderly and people under 21 constitute a large percentage of illegal nonfilers." Writer Lovell positively states that the estimated dollar loss of state revenue because of cheating is $39,987,146. Those of us who make a desperate effort to fill in all the lines and to be certain we are paying plenty should be plenty disgusted with the almost forty million dollars we must be overpaying to make up for the amount that others are evading. The cute excusses people give about not paying taxes are somewhat understandable. The article features these four: (III can use the money better than the government can. (2) I know I can get away with it without getting caught. (3) I think it's fun to get away with it. (4) The government wastes money, everyone knows that." The article concludes with a quotation from one of my favorite authors. In his "David Copperfield" Charles Dickens wrote "It was as true. . . as turnips is. It was as true. . . a i taxes is. And nothing's truer than them." Art Huchwald's column a few Sunday's back told about his conversation with a really rich, non-taxpaying citizen who was very upset over fteaganomics because he wasn't going to get uome sort of big rebate he wished. He felt Reagan's plan discriminates against the very wealthy, he told Buchwald. Buchwald. "There are hundreds of thousands in my predicament in this country w ho don't make a big deal about it, so that's why we're being ignored. I have a friend in the oil business who, because of depletion allowances, hasn't paid taxes for 10 years. He has four kids in college and keeps up three homes, a boat and a private airplane. The inflation is killing him, but dies the government care? Hell no. Their attitude is to just take care of ttie taxpayers, and let the ones who don't pay taxes fend for themselves." Last week chimney sweeps vied with taxes for my attention. I ascertained that the picture of the sweep from Vi Lanham was not Paul Van Marter. I enjoyed the East-Ore Roman article alxiut the chimney sweeps convention is Seattle (which Paul didn't attend), but where It was explained how sweeps happen to dress so stylishly. It seems that years ago British undertakers gave all their old, formal-type, business clothes to medy sweeps. Through the years Heppner does change whether or not people want it to because different families come and go. One family that has recently pulled up stakes, Jerry and Irene Samples and their children, will be sorely missed. They have sold their hilltop home here and have bought a home in East Wena tehee. Their super-swimmer, twelve-year-old daugh ter, Heidi, who has been a star on the Heppner swim team, is entering school where she will swim all year around in an inside pool. The Samples' older daughter, high school senior, Dianne, will stay here with Grandmother Camilla until graduation and sophomore son, Andy, will stay with Camilla's daughter, his aunt Jean Adams. This week's travel talk is the result of a short telephone chat with Helen Martin of lone, who, with her husband, Fred, has just returned from a careful look around India. Helen says that they were impressed with the great contrasts there-the places of great beauty they saw around the country's capital New Delhi and the squalor and sad sights they saw when they traveled south from there. The Martins, like Irene Swanson and others who look about countries where there is not a big middle class, are appalled by the tremendous contrast between the very rich few and the very poor masses. Helen says that the government of India is trying hard to raise the level of its poor. Over and over we might all thank providence that we happen to be Americans. We need to remember not to be "Ugly Americans," however, especially when we get away from our own shores. Also we must remember that unfortunately violent crime and cheating on taxes have gone on everywhere for ever so long -- and are probably less prevalent here than anywhere else in the world.
