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.
