TEH MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday. Sept. 19, 19!4 TAXES ARE TAXES NO MATTER HOW Individual Must Pay Even tually, Regardless of How Levied, Economist Says NAZI PRISON CAMP HAVE OWH GARDEN By Beardsley HumI Written for United Press We Americans have been be lieving in and repeating a cer tain fairy tale about taxes. Somewhere we got the idea that by taxing things like transac tions, or corporations, or goods we cou'd get out of taxing indi viduals This Is a fallacy, pure and simple. Only people can pay taxes and no matter where they are levied, eventually they come out of rome Individual taxpay er's pocket. And the mere fact that often the taxpayer does not know he Is paying one of these "hidden" taxes simply adds an element of deceit to something which Is already un fair. , , In its "post-war federal tax lnn for hich employment," re cently proposed the committee for economic development seeks to remedy two of the more in equitable and damaging of these pass-the-huck taxes by (1) elim inating the tax on corporation income and (2) abolishing all federal excise or "sales" taxes except those on liquor, tobacco and possibly on gasoline. Double Taxing Neither of these proposals means that some group of tax payers "gets out of something." The committee proposes that the stockholders or owners of own ers of corporations be taxed, the name as other Income earners, but that we abolish the double taxing first of corporate in come as It Is received by the company and again as it is paid out in dividends to the owners. Not only Is this double taxation unfair to the investors who bear It, but it has several other defi nitely ,bad resu'ts. It cuts down the amount of Income which the corporation can plow back into improve ments, expansion, and the ere- Two Medford airmen, shot down over Germany, are report ed to be In the same Nazi prls-oncr-of-war tamp Stalag Luft 1, on the Baltic sea near Rostock, Germany.

Gould wrote that he and his roommate have a nice vegetable garden that provides them with good food and that tney piay baseball to keep fit. He also wrote, she said, that they listen to German radio broadcasts and from them gath er that it won't be too long be fore they will be on their way home.

Shackford United Press Correspondent Washington, Sept. 19 (U.R) The United States and Great Eritaln do not sea eye to eye on political and economic policy toward Italy and the cleavage has reached a stage where American officials consider it potentially dangerous, lt was SALVAGE PAPER DRIVE ENDED IS CHAIRMAN'S WORD j no return 10 wasmngton of Brig. Gen. William O'Dwver. head of the economic section of the Allied Control commission for Italy, and his hurried con ference with President Roose velt before the latter left for Quebec was to report on condi tions which O'Dwyer felt should be thrashed out at the Roosevelt-Churchill conference. Economic Basis The basic difference between the Americans and British in Italy concerns the future of that I ex-enemy country whether she snail remain weak and depend ent upon Great Britain or, as soon as possible, be put back on her own economic feet. The British, it was learned, support a policy that would keep Italy a weak economic na tion, dependent upon imports and thus a follower of British foreign policy in the Mediter ranean. The Americans, it was learned, lean toward early re storation of Italian industry and economy for two reasons: 1. To rednre e enn - , hi .... , . " " iJUSM- .w uuracn nr not favor such a plan because of the fear that the United States would be less inclined to ship hugs quantities of food and clothing to an area where American troops are not en gaged. Reports from Italy, coming through censorship, have con firmed this picture of the Ital Ian situation. They not only confirm a split between the Americans and the British on non-military policies, but in clude reports that a change in the relief setup is urgently need ed before winter if civilian trou ble is to be avoided. VOTER REGISTRY BRISK RECENTLY Friday September 22, is final day for filing of independent candidates under Oregon law. None are now on the political horizon of Jackson county, the county clerk's orfice reports. The law provides they must file 45 dava before the general election flimlEhlni. I 1 1.T 1 100a and cloth ni? tn Trail,,.,., I ci-n.,.. ti . tv,o , Bulk of that relief now comes general election will start Irame- Registration for the November 7 election has been brisk the past week, the county clerk re ports, and clerks predict there will be an increase over the May primary registration. The usual tail-end rush is expected. There are a few newcomers registering but the majority are residents who have not register ed since the last presidential election. Oregon law requires voters who have not voted in two years to register. The re quirement for new residents is six months residence in the state. In the primary registration the Republl.-ans held a substan tial lead, and this is not expected to change for the November election. Medford residents are asked to discontinue taking salvage paper to the old Chamber of Commerce building, the present drive having ended, but to con tinue to save It for another drive which will be planned in the near future. Wayne Jamison, nhnirmnn nf till .Tnnksnn county atlon of new Jobs. It raises the salvnKQ committee, states that the committee has been asked to clean out all paper remaining In the building and he Is anxious prices which the corporation must charge for whatever goods it makes. It restricts the amount and the rates of wages which the corporation can afford toi pay to its employes. And finally, it encourages people to put their money into "safo" tax-exempt bonds Instead of Investing in established or new corporations which will use the money to expand and thus create piore production and more Jobs. Abolition of the excise taxes proposed under the C. E. D. plan would remove around three billion dollars now being taken mainly from the pockets of lower Income enrners who can least afford to pay them. For ex ample, the auto stamp on the windshield of a Jalopy costs the tame $3 as the one on a limou sine, and there are a lot more of the former than of the latter. Also, since excise taxes are paid out of Income which otherwise would go for more goods, they tend to curtail markets and thus cut down Jobs. In general, tha C. E. D. tax plan proposes a general over ruling of our federal tnx pro gram so as to replace such un fair attempts to tax things with a broader tax on individuals, but at generally lower rates all along the line. Then every tax payer would know how much taxes he was paying. Other of Its specific recommendations will be discussed in following articles in this series. that no additional paper be tak en thcro In the future. The salvage chairman stated that since most of the remaining paper was loose a hay bailer will be used to bail it for shipment, I om the United States, . To make Italy again a profitable area for American business and trade. Churchill Awnri British Prime Minister Win ston Churchill is well aware of the American-British differences of opinion as a result of his re cent visit to Italy when he con ferred with high American offi cials there. He was said at that time to favor lenient treatment of Italy as an ex-enemy, but when it came to specific pro posals of rehabilitating Italian Industries, he was said to have balked. For example. Churchill's at titude was said to be that the The loose paper resulted from: Allies should provide the Ital- improperiy pacKagea paper ami inns adequate food, clothing from the fact that many boys 'and fuel, but that nothing frequented the salvage depot and should be done at this stage to tore open the bundles in order to read the contents, it was re ported. Mr. Jamison urged residents to save paper at home, and also to continue to save tin cans, since another collection drive on these is planned for the near future. diately. The printers have set up the first proof. Ballots for each of the registered voters of the county soldier voters for which applications have been made, and absentee voters who will be out of he county on election day will be printed Earliest date on which soldier ballots can be mailed is Octo ber 7, and the final date Octo ber 27. The first soldier ballots will be sent to those on the most distant bsttlefronts. and the last to those in home camps. This will givs ample time for deliv ery by air mail. More than 800 soldier vote ap plications have been received to date, and applications are ex pected to exceed the 1000 mark. It is estimated 1200 voters of this county are in the armed services.
