j ti d fi J fi P b r. o PAGE TEN TAX SITUATION IN An enlightening discussion of Oregon's tax situation was pre sented at the Tuesday luncheon meeting of Medford Rotary club by Earl Snell, secretary of state. Mr. Snell spoke at the Hotel Medford before an audience comprising Rotarians and mem bers of local service clubs "With the national debt moun ting steadily and likely to reach the staggering total of ISO bil lion dollars, there is greater need than ever before for more economy and efficiency In local and state government." Secre tary Snell said. "There are. with in sight at this time, many new taxes which will make serious demands upon the income of the average citizen. Among these taxes will be increased levies on Income, possible national sales taxes, etc. State and local taxes must be cut to the bone if these federal taxes are to be met," he warned. Mr. Snell briefly outlined the financial condition of the state. reminded his audience that the state's bonded indebtedness had been sharply reduced, that state highway bonds have been re duced to 11 million dollars and that motor vehicle income reach ed a new all-time high in 1041. The change from calendar to fiscal year brings an added bur den on taxpayers at this time, he said. Public officials must lessen the tax burden right now so that loyal and patriotic citizens will be financially able to bear the burden of federal taxation so vital to the prosecution of the war, Snell emphasized. In his Introductory remarks the speaker warned of greater sacrifices on the part of the pub lic if victory in the war Is to be achieved. "We can now see the light of victory but I! will not be an easy task to achieve It." In reminding that war sacri fices "would reach into every home," Secretary of State Snell cited as immediate factors af fecting the economy of the state and nation the change from peace production to war output, priorities, transportation, war financing, mounting taxes and restricted maikets. Conservative use of automo biles was urged by Mr. Snell as a factor in civilian morale and an instrument of greater effic iency in business and civilian defense work. Slow speed and regulnr checking of inflation will increase the mileage of good tires several thousand miles, he stated. Snell, a member of the five man highway traffic advis ory committee of the war de partment, is considered an au thority in matters pertaining to traffic. Following the Rotary club meeting, Mr. Snell visited friends in this city and inspec ted the newly opened "Snell for Governor" headquarters at 3J South Riverside avenue.
