Twenty-Seventh Year MEDFOKD, OREGON, MONDAY, APRIL 25, 1932 No. 29. ne Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS MUCH bu been laid In Oregon about Increase of taxes In re cent years and all that hu been said has been true, Taxes HAVE In creased In Oregon at a staggering rate. But It Is well to pause and reflect that Oregon hasn't been alone In thla Increase In taxation. LET us consider what has happened In California, our great and much admired neighbor to the south. Taxes collected In California by federal, state and local governments have increased from am, 118,000 In 191S to 597,188,000 in 1930. An Increase of (480,000,000 In taxea In 15 years le aomcthlng to think about. LET us get It down to a per capita basis. , In 1915, assuming that the taxes had been collected equally from all the population, each person In Cali fornia would have paid (37.55 for the aupport of the various branches of government. In 1930, the per capita tax had risen to 105-90 an Increase of 182.02 per cent. During the same period the popu lation of California Increased only 90.5 per cent. IT IS Interesting to get a look at the Individual tax items repre sented, by these totals. , In 1915, the federal taxes In Cali fornia amounted to (13,129,000. In 1930, they amounted to (149,288,000. State taxes collected In California In 1915 totaled (20.400.000. By 1930, California's state taxes had Increased to (104,500,000. IN CALIFORNIA, as elsewhere, the big volume of Increase came In lo cal taxation that Is. In .taxes col lected for county, city and district purposes. .....Jn. 1915, taxes collected !n Callfor- nla for local purposes amounted to (77,589,000. In 1930, the total was (343,400,000. The figures here given are vouched for by the California state chamber of commerce. HERE la a statement Just Issued by the committee on govern mental expendlturea and taxation of the California state chamber of com merce. You will find It Interesting: "Taxea have mounted to a point that la alarmingly out of line with Income. The basic Income of the tate la the wealth created by agri culture, the extractive Industries and the value added by manufacture In any given year. "In 1930 the baste income of Cali fornia waa (2,588,045,000 and taxes (507,188,000, or about 23 per cent of Income. While complete figures are not yet available, It la eattmated that thla year (1931) the proportion of taxea collected will rise to Just one third of basic Income. Total taxea will be reduced to ap proximately (500,000,000, but total Income, aa finally compiled for 1931, will drop to around 1,500,000,000." IP THESE eetlmatea by the state chamber of commerce are correct, they mean that out of each three dollars of Income In California In 1931 one dollar had to go for taxes. IT IS not here Intended to assert, or even Intimate, that because Cali fornia also has been showing stagger ing Increases of taxation Oregon ihould not be worried by what has been going on here in the same line. That la not true. The tremendous lncreasea In taxation EVERYWHERE In the past couple of decades con stitute a real emergency, for taxa tion, as you know, is a burden on In dustry, and if Industry la too greatly burdened by taxation It will be lim ited aa to the wages It can pay to Its workers for only so much Juice can be squeezed out of an apple. Taxation Is a subject that requires tamest attention on the part of thinking people all over thla country. RUT it la Just as well for us to realize that Oregon has not been alone In Increasing taxation that, aa a matter of fact, haa been somewhat more conservative In that direction than other states. The hsnd.caps that we hare im posed upon orelvee by too enthtul tic voting of taxes have been match ed, or even exceeded, by the handi caps Imposed upon themselves by the people of other states. Thst means that we shsll enter tij'on the Inevitable period of recov ery on at least an even looting with r states. FACING RUIN BY DRY LAW POLICY Reversal of Prohibition En forcement Attitude Home Wine Making Is Called Betrayal of Growers SAN FRANCISCO, April 35. (AP) Revision of the eighteenth amend ment to permit the sale of naturally fermented beverages waa advocated here today as a new policy of the California Vlneyardlsts' association by Donald D. Conn, managing direc tor of the association. In a report summarising his ad mln lnlstration's affalra In the past five years, Conn charged that a re versal of governmental prohibition enforcement policies threatened dis aster to the grape Industry and made legalization of wine making Impera tive. Reversal Called Betrayal He charged that for 13 years the government, by liberal rulings and interpretations of the Volstead act. "approved and assisted the growing and sale of Juice grapes for a home wine making 'only to "betray" the grape growers by a "complete revers al" of prohibition enforcement policy later. "The government, from the begin ning, has been a party to the In creased volume of wine-grape pro duction," his report seta forth. "Both federal and state authorities not only permitted these additional plantings (after Vie prohlbltln act was passed) but It did much to encourage wine grape marketing and sale. Prog ram Approved "Fruit Industries, ht. , . . had Its genesis aa a result of a conference between the department of Justice, the treasury and department of agri culture In Washington. Its program was fully understood from the be ginning." The a ntl -prohibition, portion of Conn's report was endorsed by a com mittee of leaders of the Industry. He accompanies his explanation of his dry-law revision recommendations with the declaration, that he haa been a dry" advocate Vie last five years and blocked every effort of the wet element to put the organized grape Industry on record for prohibi ten, modification or repeal. , -Variation Scored Bitterly criticising the prohibition enforcement department's acceptance of a decision by Federal Judge Mer rel E. Otis of Kansas City, aa the basts for its enforcement policy, Conn stated : "Neither the grape Industry nor any other enterprise can efficiently or profitably conduct Its business If the legal status of its product and its method of marketing are subject to varying political opinions or fre quent changes In governmental di rection and policy. Would Outlaw Industry "To put Into the Interpretation of the law now the views of one Judge who haa never dealt with vineyard (Continued on Page Three) T IN SOUTH AFRICA JOHANNESBURG, Union of South Africa, April 25.

"We want you to know that there are some veterans who consider this appeal unpatriotic." Representative Ralney, Illinois, Democratic leader, warned, aa the hisses rang out. that the demonstra tion was a violation of the rules. The National Association of Manu facturers, through James A. Emery put before the committee an em phatic protest against full cash pay ment of the soldiers' bonus.

It was announced today by Jerrold Owen, secretary of the state bonus commission, Owen announced the executive committee took this action at a meeting In Portland yesterday fol lowing consideration of resolutions from five posts in Oregon demand ing a moratorium. The commission secretary was informed of the action by state Lesion officials today. Owen announced tl).ro was about $30,000. 000 In veterans' loans In Oregon. The reasons given for the rejec tion of the demand by the state department were: The apparent un constitutionality of the move, that were It practical It would deprive all veterans not yet taking advantage of such loans from obtaining any funds; prevent payment of cash bonuses; would benefit less than 15 per cent of the borrowers; and would make It Impossible for the state to retire the $2,000,000 bond issue falling due this year, thus paving the way for bondholders to take over the matter ana iorce pay ments from veterans.

April 25. ( AP) A climactic decision which may virtual ly clinch the democratic presidential nomination for Franklin D. Roosevelt or may cast tremendous odds against him. Impends in tomorrow's Massa chusetts and Pennsylvania primaries. In these two states the "stop- Roosevelt" forces beaten back so far have concentrated their strength behind Alfred E. Smith In a stupen dous effort to halt the New York gov ernor's triumphant piling up of pledged convention votes. The strug gle resting with the voters today is square cut. At stake, far more Im portant than the 112 votes to be had. Is the moral effect on political lead ers and voters In the numerous states which yet have to choose their candi date. The result, however, .may be less definite than the Issue. On the eve of the decision a summary or blend ing of opinion, partisan and neutral, appears to favor a division In the votes of both states. Massachusetts throwing the bulk of Its 36 to Smith, Pennsylvania giving a majority of it 76 delegates to Roosevelt. Without the furore ftccomnanvlne the democratic campaign, the republi cans during this week will select 264 more delegates In thirteen states; practically every one of the votes Is sssured to President Hobver'a column which alrea,' counts 423 In 'pledged and claimed delegates.
