Several Items on Uncle Sam's Tax

Washington, June 24. (U.R)
A ticket to the movies may cost

And the price you pay for a
handbag, an alarm clock, auto
mobile tire or railroad ticket
may be coming down a little,
too.
The reason is that Congress
at last seems to be on its way
to cutting federal excise taxe.
These are the taxes the govern
ment collects from rich and
poor alike on certain item.
Many people call these sales

MAIL TRIBUNE
Reapportionment
Efforts to bring about reapportionment of sen
ators and representatives to the state legislature, and
the charges and counter charges being hurled by up
state advocates of the two oroDosed Dlans have failed
sc far to create any particular stir in Jackson county's
political waters.
THE apathy hereabouts
tViinrra yiqivi1v
1. Most of us have not paid enough attention to
the matter;
2. Have become so confused by the multiplicity
of names for the two proposals and the conflicting
claims that we have consigned the matter to the file
and fortret basket": or
3. Inasmuch as under
would have the same number of senators ana repre
sentatives as at present, reapportionment has not
seemed particularly important, locally.
IT is regrettable that so little interest has been mani
foat fnr tho rennnnrtinnmenr. nuestion holds a num
ber of maior implications
Concentration of legislative voting power in the
thickly populated centers is a possibility to be avoid
ed and gerrymandering, that is grouping counties into
districts for. the advantage oi one ponucai party or
the other, is also a possible and undesirable complication.
PETITIONS now being
the proposals on the
them as the "balanced plan," and tne -population
plan."
The former is mainlv suDDorted by the State
Farm Bureau and many county Grange chapters and
has the official approval of
ganization.
N BRIEF, the balanced plan would give each coun
ty one member in the lower house, with the senate
apportioned according to population. The remaining
24 members of the house would also be chosen ac
cording to population. At present there are only 30
state senators. Under the balanced plan there would
be 36.
The balanced plan provides that no one county
shall have more than one-fourth of the legislative
membership in either house and it limits consolida
tion of sparsely-populated counties in one senatorial
district to three. Counties so consolidated must be
contiguous.
THE "population plan" which would have senate
and house seats apportioned on the basis of popu
lation and would limit a county to one-third of the
legislative membership, has democratic favor, is
backed by the Farmers' Union, AFL and CIO groups
and at least a segment of the Multnomah county
Young Republicans.
(")NLY the names of registered voters will count on
the reapportionment petitions and voters may
sign both petitions, if they so desire. Each petition
must have about 26,000 valid signatures. County
clerks will check the names against voting records
and the petitions must be filed with the secretary of
state before July 6.
TT is predicted that both plans will gain enough sig-
natures to insure a place on the general election
ballot and should they do so voters at that time can
mark their "X" for either, both, or neither.
Although the Oregon legislature is required by
the state constitution to reapportion itself each 10
years after the federal census, no such action has
been taken since 1911. E.C.F.
Welcome, Letter Carriers
Medford is delighted to play host this wk-end

delegates from throughout the state and the color

enjoy their visit.

in lieu of being elected state
commander of the group. There
Is little doubt that if he had
wanted the office he could have
been elected had he chosen to
be a serious candidate. However,
the popular Central Point min
ister felt he could be of greater
service in the chaplaincy for an
other year.
State Chaplain Camp was
born In Nebraska, Apr. 19, 1897.
He enlisted in the army from
that state June 2, 1918, and serv
ed in France with the 83 rd divis
ion where he was disabled. Re
turned to the states, he was dis
charged Aug. 24, 1919. In Sep
tember of that year Mr. Camp
entered theological training and
was graduated from Cotner col
lege and Minnesota Bible uni
versity at Minneapolis. Like
Chaplain Feller of Roseburg VA
hospital he had the call to the
ministry after a war disability.
Mr. Camp is known through
out the nation for his work in
a memorial service for the war
dead.
An Astorian has finally arriv
ed on the scene. William Pouttu

World War I and likes every
thing he has seen to date of

In the Day's
By FRANK JENKINS
John Foster Dulles, addressing
the American Chamber of Com
merce in Tokyo makes this flat
statement:
"THE 'CAPTIVE WORLD' OF
COMMUNISM IS TOO WEAK
NOW TO SEEK WAR WITH
THE FREE WORLD."
SUPPORTING his statement, he
cited these basic weaknesses
of the communist world:
1. It is weak politically be
cause It i ruled from the top
and has no broad popular sup
port. 2. It is shot through with dis
trust and suspicion. NO ONE in
the communist world, even in
high authority, feels safe.
3. It is weak economically,
even after 30 year of "five-year
plans." The U. S. has a S-to-1 ad
vantage in steel production, 5-to-1
in aluminum, 6-to-l In electric
power, 8-to-l in crude oil.
rULLES added:
U "The gap indicated by these
figures IS STEADILY GROW
ING IN FAVOR OF THE
UNITED STATES."
IS all this "cold war" tuff we're
being bombarded with bunk?
No-o-o-o.
Dulles puts It this way: '
"The immediate danger to free
countries is that they may be
taken over from within by
SMALL, DISCIPLINED COM
MUNIST MINORITIES."
a assume that on that point he
must be speaking of coun
tries other than the United
States. Smaller, less stable coun
tries, I mean. I simply can't be
lieve that AS OF NOW the
United States of America could
be taken over from within by a
small, disciplined communist
minority.")
rULLES went on:
U "Any struggle that openly
pitted the full might of the free
world against that of the captive
(communist) world could have
but one outcome. That would be
the TOTAL DEMOLITION of
the artificial, rigid and relatively
weak structure that Soviet com
munism has built. That is why
most well-informed people do
not now expect war. The situa
tion is basically too one-sided."
IF what Dulles says In Tokyo i
true, WE ARE IN NO PRES
ENT DANGER OF ATTACK BY
RUSSIA. If Dulles knows these
things, Russia must know them.
It seems improbable that Russia
would deliberately provoke a
war SHE KNOWS SHE WOULD
LOSE.

odd position of a republican ad
viser to the democratic adminis
tration's state department) says
