What Price Tax Cuts?
There have been a number of explanations of the
present administration's failure to balance the budget.
The main one advanced has been the cold war and
the necessity of increasing
TFHE budget message, however, removes any such
misconceptions.' There is one; cef reason why
President JSisenhqwer faijed to carry out his state
ments of February 2nd, 1053, when he stated, quote:
'Reduction of taxes wiU, be justified only as we can
' succeed in bringing the budget under, control."
v Whereupon the administration proceeded a year
later, to reduce taxes to the'total tune of over $7,000,
000,000. If thi$ had nob been done and taxes had re
mained as they were, the budget as of today would be
balanced! R.W.R. V ; :
The Mail Tribune has for many years opposed a
sales tax on the ground of its plaeing the tax burden
too heavily on those least able to pay.
However most of the western states have adopted
some form of sales tax to surmount their increasing
financial difficulties, and: Oregon after a thorough
study of the situation may have to do the same, if it
CAN," '.'''
")NE thing for sure:; The objection voiced by Gqv
pernor Patterson that because a sales tax has been
defeated many times, there should not be any more
effort in that direction as far as the Legislatui'e is con
cerned, does not hold water.
It took a couple of decades to get a federal income
tax on the books, even the Supreme Court outlawed
it two or three times.
There: are some fanatics who .want it outlawed
now, but they represent a hopeless minority.
CO the old saying: "If you don't at first succeed, try
'try again" has a direct application as far as this
propol is concemed. . ' v :;, v
We still hope such a tax can be avoided. -But if, in
the judgment of our representatives at Salem it is the
only practical solution of our financial difficulties,
we see no reason why the
be given another opportunity to vote it down!

answered by one observer,

population. There is no significance in either other
than the country is growing.

The people of this country are more fortunate
than those of any other, but still the future is distress
ing and uncertain and more Americans than ever
before, are worried about the future of their country
and particularly the fate of the next generation, and
the one after. ' - .
As a result they (Jo feel the need of help, the aid
of some force greater than themselves, they want re
assurance, greater security, and most of them find it
in their religion.
ALL it an anodyne : or a crutch, few people go

one or both. Even in Soviet Russia, the pld ban against
church going has been modified and more and more of
the common people there are returning' to thepeace

HOPE IN INDONESIA
Jakarta, . Indonesia- The news
from Indonesia is both negative
and unspecific, thus breaking
two old news
paper rules;
but it is still
important
news. In brief,
the Commu
nist danger
here is ''noth
ing like so se
rious as it has
been painted
in the last
Joeeph Alsop year-
To be sure,
Indonesian politics have a qual
ity all their own.; Everything
happens slowly. Everything is
indeterminate. A crisis that
would tear another country
apart in a week can last a cou
ple of months here, and produce
no very clear result when it is
over. And all this makes an
alysis pretty difficult.
Yet the fact remains that
there is little in the picture
here to justify the pessimism
about, the Indonesian future that
is so often voiced in Washing
ton. On the contrary, if world
communism is not flabbily per
mitted to take over the rest of
Asia, there is every reason to
feel hopeful about this remark
able new . nation of 80,000,000
people, with its beautiful land,
its vast untapped resources and
its immense future possibilities.
Among the Indonesian people,
90 per cent : of them devout
Moslems, the Communists have
gained no mass base except in
the labor unions in the bigges
towns, rney are tolerated ana
Communist political support is
accepted by the government of
Prime Minister Ali Sastroamid
jojo; but they have-not yet got
their hands on the police, the
Army, or any other vital lever
of power.
- When this reporter was in
Jakarta a little more than a year
ago, the Army seemed to be in
danger. The only seriously sus
pect character in the present
government,.; Defense Minister
Iwa Kusumasumantri, was .seek
ing to get the Army under his
personal control. And this at
tempt was causing a major crisis
that filled all s Jakarata with
rumors of violence to come.
rpHE crisis ended with the semi
A retirement of one of Indon
esia's most impressive leaders,
the former Chief of Staff of the
Armed' Forces,' Gen. Simtu
pang. But the way was stUl not
opened to Communist . penetra
tion of the armed forces. The
factions in the Army have drawn
together, if anything, because of
the potential attempts to play
one faction against another. The
Army remains a powerful anti-
Communist force. ;
Meanwhile, P r i m e Minister
Ali's government, whose good
faith on this point has been un
fairly attacked, is now seriously
preparing the first national elec
tion, Both Ali and President
Sukarno are - firmly pledged ; to
holding the election this year,
and it will probably come in late
July or early August.
That means that the present
artificial situation, in which all
politics center in a parliament
vi aruiuainy - appuuiieu uepu-
ties, win shortly come to a wel
come end. The people win have
their chance to speak. There will
be a chance for a more vigorous
and confident, attack on Indon
esia's many difficult, problems.
among which the economic prob
lem bulks particularly ; large.
And as the national problems be?
gin to be solved, the . Commu

of the most unpleasing charac
teristics of Dutch imperialism,
Which was generally unpleasing,
was the exfreme restriction of
education. When the Indonesian
Republic was established,' 93 per

However patriotic they may
be, illiterates cannot administer
one of the biggest nations of
the modern' world. The task of
Indonesia's small group of ade
quately trained leaders has been
back breaking. The wonder is
not that progress in Indonesia
has been relatively slow. The
wonder is, rather, thai the na
tion has survived and gone for
ward, v;
. 'r--:
THESE facts mean, in turn,
that any judgment of ' this
country has ' to be ; sympathetic
in order to be realistic. When
the beginning was '-$o inordinate
ly hard, a bad end ' cannot be
predicted , just because there are
initial f alterings. Men like Prime
Minister: Ali and President Sur
karno should not be judged pro
Communist, because their pres
ent attitude toward Indonesian
communism seems - alarmingly
amiable to many Americans.
; Every brand new nation al:
ways-' has two traits. It is irra
tionally touchy and suspicious,
as any reader of our own early
history wiU surely - have ob
served. And it needs time and
more time and still more time
to develop is own national po?
htical forms, it own character
istic national life and its own
ways of doing world busmess.
If these things are remembered,-
and Indonesia is given both
time and sympathy, this country
can7 one day become one of the
great powers of the frge world.
But whether the time : will', be
allowed, directly depends on
what the responsible leaders of
the free 'world do about the
Communist advance in the rest
of Asia.

His proposal was offered as a

nanced system of interstate high
ways i -: . '" -; -r ' ."'J-:'r; 'f::
HIS ideai of course;; is to avoid
the tremendous tax cost in
volved in the federally financed
system (which : would ' include
some : 40,000 miles). The toll
roads would be built by private
enterprise, ' and would be paid
out of toll charges.
rP would be nice to avoid the
tax burden, but I think maybe
we'd ' better recall a little his
tory. We went rather lieavily
into toll road building in early
Oregon including the eld Bar
low Road whch ; enabled ;; the
Oregon trail emigrants to avoid
the dangers of the river passage
down the Columbia from The
Dalles." One - of the lessons of
history is that these toll high
ways came to be HATED.
AFTER all, the gasoline tax
.. which,-' by the way, was in
vented in Oregon is about the
best system for 'financing high
way construction that has ever
been devised. It is simple and
convenient - You buy yeur high
way mileage when you buy your
motor fuel. . You use it as you
please, wherever . you please. It
isn't burdensome, because you
pay it a few pennies at a time.
.It is FAR more .convenient
than the privately financed -turnpike
system, as anyone -must
realize who has used these fancy
toll roads. When you come onto
them, you get a ticket and when
you leave them you stop at an
other tollgate .and pay for the
mileage you have used.
It's much simpler to pay your
toll as you buy your gasoline.
FOR years, the federa govern
ment has levied a gasoline
tax, but over the ' years it has
used a lot , of this .money for
purposes other tha n highway
construction. In the states, there
is growing pressure to raid the
easily - collected gasoline - tax
funds for purposes ether than
highway building.'
I think if we'll resist this pres
sure to "use funds collected, from
gasoline taxation for purposes
other than roads, and will spend
ALL of it on road building,, we
can get the highways we need
more simply and more satisfact
orily than by granting conces
sions - for the building of - toll
roads by private investors.
