Br I BANK JENKINS
CONGRESS levies a tax of three
per cent on gross aalea of elee
trlcfty In toe United State.
Whereupon we aay approvingly:
"Good! Soak the power companlea,
which are big, and can afford It;
and let ua little fellowi off without
a taxi"
Such a program sounds good to ua.
BUT wilt. " i
Proceedlnga have been under
way In Portland, before the public
service commissioner of Oregon, to
compel reduction of electric rates.
We hear now tLat because of thle
new tax which haa been levied upon
the power companies It may not only
be impossible to reduce electric ratea
but may even be necessary to RAISE
them.
That la to aay. because of thli new
tax It may be necessary for the peo
ple of Portland to pay MORE for
their electricity. Instead of getting
it for less.
THIS writer knows of a house that
i rentin? for 3S per month.
The tenant thinks the rent la too
h.gh. and la demanding that It be
reduced.
The owner would like to reduce
the rent. But the taxea on hie house
amount to 33 a month, so that even
at his present rental he haa left
only 13 per montA for repalra, In
surance and Interest on bla money.
So he Is resisting the demand for a
lower rental.
That la to say, because of high
taxea the renter of tola house Is
paying more rental than he would
have to pay If taxea were leaa.
THE point Involved la thle:
When taxea are HIGH, you and
I have to pay more for what we get
than we would have to pay If taxea
were LOW.
The burden of taxation falla on
EVERYBODY not Just on those who
pay the tax directly.
The sooner we come to realise that
fact, the more Intelligently we ehall
be able to think on the subject of
taxation.
WHILE we are on the subject of
taxation, here la an Interesting
little story that appeared a day or
so ago In the papers:
One of the bllla before congress
Includes an appropriation of S70.00O
for a new postoffloe at Riverton,
Wyo. When the Lions club of Riv
erton heard of thle appropriation. It
met and adopted this resolution:
"We respectfully request that our
delegation do not urge thla Item,
but rather Insist upon strict econ
omy In all publle expenditures. We
believe auch an appropriation is un
called for and the poorest economy
at thla time
IF every community and every or
ganization of votera In the United
States would adopt the broad-minded
attitude adopted by the Lions club
of this small town In Wyoming, It
would be IMMEDIATELY possible to
reduce federal expenditures and ao
bring about a reduction of burden
some federal taxation.
The ONLY way In which taxea can
be reduced is by reducing expendi
tures.
GEORGE Ivereon writes to thla
newspaper:
"I wish to take exception to what
la Implied in your front-page column
of a few daya ago In regard to wages
and salaries being cut.
"The aalary and wage earners are
having a regular hysteria and think
the bottom haa dropped out of ev
erything because their pay check Is
a few dollars smaller than It waa a
few yeara ago. But let us all look
at the problem from the angle aa
to what those eame salarlea will buy
today compared to what they would
buy then
"Those who are drawing salarlea
and wagea today are far better off
than they have been for a quarter
of a century."
rAT la undoubtedly true. Those
who HAVE JOBS today are bet
ter oft IMn those who had Jobs a
generation ago. Our big concern,
at thla moment, la for those who
have no Joba.
And It la better. In thla writer's

SEIZES REIMS IN
CHILEAN REVOLT
SANTIAGO. Chile, June 4 (AP)
A revolutionary government headed
by a military Junta, was aet up In
Chile tonight after army aupportera
of Carlos Da vlla, former ambassador
to Washington, seized the president
ial palace.
The Junta, composed of Senor Da-
vim. v,oionC. wrniNui. I

In administration, but free, the
rebels said, from "Russian sovietlsm."
President Juan Esteban Montero
left the palace for an unannounced
destination after the coup, which was
bloodless except for the killing of
three persona and wounding of sixty
in a riot near the palace.
Huge crowds which formed around
the palace when soldiers led by Col
onel Grove descended upon it were
nonplussed by the coup.
The entire Chilean air force, back
ed by at least the moral support of
the army and navy, took part in the
revolt
In view of President Montero's re
fusal to resign, some foreign diplo
mats doubted the United States and
other countries would recognize the

P0INT
FOR COUNTY JUDGE
STRESSES SAVING
Pipes Advocates Definite
Platform Aimed At Allev
iation Of Tax Burden
Leadership Held Need.
The following public statement was
leeued yesterday by A. w. Pipes,
prominent Medford business man snd
former mayor:
To the Editor:
In view of the fact that no can
didate for the office of county Judge
of Jackson county (either successful
or defeated In the primary) haa come
forward with any specific, progressiva
and definite program or platform. I
propose the following ss constructive,
believing this sort of program em
bodlea some of the remedial meaaures
now needed In Jackson county:
First: A reduction In salaries of
county employes receiving more then
aiaoo per annum. I believe that
Sioo per month la a fair baale mini-,
mum wage under present economle
conditions, and I further believe that
the man or woman who is receiving
hla pay check from the publto treaa
ury should contribute his share In
the great program of balancing bud
geta, which la now the problem of
every community throughout our
land. Every business and profes
sional man la taking It on the chin.
Every Individual who is drawing
upon the publto treasury should
share his part.
Furthermore, the purchasing pow
er of the dollar today la approximate
ly 30 per cent greater than It waa
three yeara ago, and failure to reduce
the salaries of public officials Is un
fair to the man who has to aupply
the tsxes to pay his salary.
Second: A survey of all depart
menta of county government to ascer
tain If the number of employeea can
be reduced, either by the eonaollda
tlon of departments, or by placing
a little more work upon the heada
and deputlea of all departments.
This program la ;elng employed
by business firms and corporations
throughout the country aa an aid to
economic recovery and the very exlat
ence of the corporations. Why not
give ' tha taxpayer the aame relief?
Third: The elimination of road
Bupvrvuuni wiin tneir automoDlies,
piling up gasoline mileage, which t
believe la wasteful and uneconomic.
As a substitution 1 would recommend
thAt thla work be done by the county
engineer, who would appoint a fore
man on each Job, intelligent and cap-
awe enougn to carry out the Instruc
tions of the engineer between hla
visits. Under this arrangement wa
would have the foreman on each Job
who would be held responsible for
the progress and efficiency of the
work. We would be minus the super
visors salary, and bis gasoline mile
age. Fourth: In the matter of pur
chases for the county, I would recom
mend strict adherence to competitive
oia system, Believing this to be tha
only way to get the maximum value
for the tar dollar.
In the past decade bualneaa firms.
corporations and municipalise have
become encumbered with overlapping
departments, excess employees snd
lax methods. The blame for this
condition has been the era In which
we have been living. Publlo officials
have been no different from the
business or the professional man. All
wore effected by the same blight.
mm n uj ui TOvKuning is as nana.
Business la going through a revolu
tionising transition leakage holes
sr.. being plugged, lax and wasteful
methods are being replaced with ef
ficiency and economy by the firms
who srs girding for the future. Those
who are not thus placing their houses
In order are passing out of the pic
ture. Municipalities cannot quit. Wa
