no You Want Fehl "Economy?"
To the Editor:
I note in a recent article in a local
u-eckly, that Henry Conger, one of the
candidates for county judge, seems
very Dosltlre that he could run the
county on less money, that he would
simply run It differently.
No doubt Mr. Conger has entirely
overlooked the fact that on January
9, 1933, he appeared as spokesman for
a committee before the county couri
and Insisted on Jackson County In
curring heavy expense -for auditing
work, not provided for In the budget
and which proved to be entirely un
necessary and he further demanded
at that time the endorsement and full
support of the county commissioners
In the policies of the then County
Judge, E. H. Pehl, who certainly did
not save any money for the taxpayers
of Jackson County, but well-n!g'n
wrecked the county and Its finances

omy? Yours very truly,

Give It a Trial
To the Editor:
I wish to express my approval of
the sales tax the voters of Oregon
will soon have the privilege of passing
upon.
We are convinced that by it, the
living expense of the proletariat
would not be increased as some may
fear. The manufacturer or merchant
in arranging the price of goods, takes
Into consideration the cost of raw
material, help, Interest, advertising
and pay for his own labor. This last
Item must take care of his food,
clothing and the taxes on his hold
ings. If a reduction is made In any
of these expenses to him it will be
reflected In the price he charges.
The urgent necessity for trade will
force this.
The sales tax may prove to many,
who think they have not been con
tributing to the expense of state,
that they have done so without be
ing aware of it. This will doubtless
cause them In the future to take
their citizenship more seriously, at
least enough so that they , will stop,
look and listen before they cross
their ballots. This In our opinion,
will be one of the great advantages
in the adoption of the sales tax.
Considering our present dllemna,
and .in view of the fact that the
sales tax would automatically pass
out in two years, It seems we should
be good enough sports to give it
trial.
I am supporting the sales tax, be
cause if I am allowed food instead
of Just scenery, clothes instead of
fig leaves, and If I am permitted
to use an automobile in conjunction
with my wheelbarrow I am only too
glad to help support a government
that makes such standards of living
possible. The sales tax would care
for that In a Just and equitable ;
manner. j
