MAIL TRIBUNE
The Dilemma
Did you read Senator Phil Lowry's article about
state taxes on Page 1 of yesterday's paper?
If not, and if you're the least bit interested in the
taxes you pay, we . recommend it to you. It is the
clearest, most thoughtful description we've yet seen
of the money problem which legislators are up
against this year.
THERE are a few added background facts which
might help , put the matter into a clearer perspec
tive. -
First of all total taxation in Oregon takes about
32 per cent of total income. In other words, out of
each dollar everyone in the state earns, 32 "cents
goes for taxes.
Secondly, the biggest part of this goes to .the fed
eral government, far more than half. Total tax."take"
in 1953 was estimated at $896,500,000 (out of a total
income of about 2,750,000,000). Of this amount, the
federal government received an estimated $570,500,
000. -
The rest of it was apportioned this way: To the
state . government, $184,900,000; to school districts,
$64,767,000; to cities, $35,497,000; to counties, $30,-
327,000, and to special districts (for fire protection,
water, sanitation, etc.), $10,309,000.
,
SENATOR Lowry's problem is centered around that
5184 QOO nnn -urVnVH o-noa t.rv tViP stflfp. Tt. isn't
enough to run the state and all the services the state
provides.
The other day we heard a friend, a highly intelli
gent, thoughtful person, remark that he's against
ANY new taxes until a way is found to cut down on
present expenditures.
We sympathize. Taxes are high terribly high,
when 32 cents out of every dollar is drained off for
taxes.
As, far as the state is concerned, let's examine the
proposed budget for a moment, and see where it
might be reduced. The budget for the general fund
(this does not include highway commission, indust
rial accident and unemployment compensation funds,
which have their own budgets) totals $200,753,684,
as reduced and recommended by the governor. This
does not include proposed new buildings for Oregon's
institutions (including a new mental hospital approv
ed by the people, and buildings for Portland State
college). V
Total available resources, including personal and
corporation income taxes, liquor revenues, other mis
cellaneous revenues, state police transfers, unexpend
ed balances and surplus, come to $155,744,101.
DY substraction we find that we are short abput
? $45,000,000. This may be reduced by some ; $3,
000,000 by beefing up estimated income. Assume this
happensand our deficit is still about $42,000,000.
Maybe the thing to do is to cut down expenses.
Where shall we sfart? ; v
With education? This consumes approximately
53.5 per cent of the total budget. Overcrowded
schools, increasing population, needed new class
rooms all these make it virtually impossible to
cut down the total. If the basic school support fund
is cut, the load goes back, on local property.
On welfare? This is some 16.2 per cent of the
budget. Few would suggest that Oregon, which is not
overly generous with its old age assistance recipients
and others getting welfare aid, should cut down on
this program, with resulting misery.
On hospitals? These consume about 10.8 per cent
of the budget. They're overcrowded now, and the
state mental hospitals and Fairview home cannot ac
cept all those needing attention.
On. police protection? This is 5 per cent. The
front pages of our newspapers tell us police protec
tion is probably too little, rather than too. much.
On correctional institutions? This costs us 3.4 per
cent of the budget. The state penitentiary, boys and
girls reform schools and a new intermediate institu
tion cannot be abandoned, nor cut down.
Health and sanitation? This is nine-tenths of 1
per cent of the budget, and includes the State Board
of Health and all its activities. C -
V'eterans bonus? This represents 2.8 per cent of
the budget. It was voted by the people, and the bonus
has already been paid the veterans; what remains is
to pay off the bonds.
, .On natural resources development? This is 3 per
cent of the budget, and includes work of the agricul
ture and forestry departments, which are both vital
to the state.
On libraries? These consume three-tenths' of one
per cent. ;
On general government? This, which is 4.2 per
cent of the budget, is the "administrative overhead"
which runs all the other programs, from the govern
or's office on down. Maybe this could be cut without
drastically damaging, orderly government; maybe it
couldn't. But in any event it' represents less than
l-20th of the total budget. :-.v.
....
THERE are, as we see it, three alternatives:
. 1. Cut down on one or more of the items listed
ab,ove, which are already checked, double checked
and some of them reduced from the amounts orig
inally requested.
2. Raise taxes, or devise a new type of taxation.
3. Go in the hole. (And if we do this, we'll still
have to pay off sometime).
And we still haven't touched on any proposals
(some of them with merit) which would add to the
budget. .
If you know of a way out of this dilemma, let
Senator Lowry know. We are sure he'll appreciate
it. E.A. - i .

Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop
Taipeh, Formosa As these
words are written, all is indeci
sion and uncertainty about the
next stage of
the Formosa
crisis. O n e
crueUy hard
fact alone
stands out.
In the period
since the Ko
rean truce,
A m erican
power on this
side of the Pa
cific has been
Joseph Alsop
t e r rifyingly
weakened. The policies of Sec
retary of Defense Charles E.
Wilson and his real master, Sec
retary of the Treasury George
Humphrey, have left the United
States with less real strength
in this most dangerous area of
the world than we had out here
in the moment of flabby com
placency before the Korean ag
gression. The project to evacuate the
Tachen Islands is both a symbol
and a prospective aggravation
of this American weakness in
the region where a new Com
munist aggression is mostly like
ly. On this point, the authori
ties at home have been mislead
ing the country one is tempted
to use a harder word.
The radar warning station on
the Tachens is not just any bid
early warning station. It is the
only early warning station serv
ing both the most vital part of
the main island of Formosa and
the chief American transpacific
base on Okinawa. Its abandon
ment will leave Okinawa and
North Formosa with no more
than fifteen minutes warning
against , Chinese Communist IL
28 bombers flying from the
great Red airfield complex in
Kiangsu and Chekiang provinces.
The IL 28 is a speedy and
powerful jet plane. A quarter
of an hour is, not enough time
to allow even our Sabre jet
fighters to gain altitude and beat
off such attackersr In short,
abandonment of the Tachens
will leave both Okinawa and
Northern Formosa virtually un
protected against potential en
emy air attack.
THE main Red Airfield com
plex has been sited to threat
en Okinawa even more directly
than it threatens Formosa. The
Chinese leaders have already
told the Burmese and other
Asians whom they are courting
that they propose , to take For
mosa this year by preliminary
softening by air atack. Hence
what is contemplated on the
Tachens is an, intensely serious
sacrifice. One of our few radar
picket ships, so badly needed for
Ihe air defense of the United
States, may have to be risked in
dangerous proximity to Chinese
territorial waters, in order- to
replace the lost warning station.
The more general picture is
even more depressing. American
ground strength on this side of
the Pacific has been rapidly re
duced, in the last year or so, to
two and one half divisions in
Korea and the equivalent in
Japan and Okinawa. American
land based air power has also
been reduced. In the great cres
ent from Korea down to For
mosa, we now have actually five
hundred less combat planes than
we did on the day the Korean
fighting began.
Although Chinese aggre'ssion
is presumably to be met by
bombing attacks on Communist
airfields and internal communi
cations, there is . virtually - no
American bomber strength in
this whole region except for a
group of B 36s on Guami And
the competent Naval authorities
are quick to .admit that- the re
duction in our land based air
power has not been compensated
for by a build up,tof Naval air
power.
Nor is . the picture much
brightened by the status of our
potential allies. In Korea, where
trouble in Formosa is so likely
to.be rapidly reflected, the en
emy has over a 'million ground
troops. In flagrant disregard of
the truce terms, the Commun
ists have also built forward air
bases in Korea which largely
cancel our former air advantage
there. But on our side in Korea,
there are only the American
divisions already noted the
Editorial Comment
WANTED: MORE
'PRECIPITATION
If we may be pardoned a mild
hint to the weather man ! we
haven't bothered him; much
lately, since he's been giving 'us
a very decent winter we might
say that what we seem to need
now, for the general good of the
Willamette valley, is some real,
good, old-fashioned rain. None
of this "precipitation .03 , inch"
business, but a good .25 or .50
inch every! now and then. And
we haven't been getting enough
snow in the mountains which
is even more important to our
Santiam and Willamette valleys
than the spring-time rains. And
now is the time for that snow.
Later, with the weather warmer,
it will run off fast and not be
distributed to the streams dur
ing the summer, when we never
have too much water. All this is
something we're more or less
praying for; we'd like it in the
next month,- please. ALBANY
DEMOCRAT-HERALD.
First Marines being slated to go
home plus twenty Korean divi
sions that, are largely immobil
ized by our restrictions on their
fuel supplies.
TOWN here, where the danger
of trouble is immediate, the
Chinese Nationalists have one
air wing equipped with obso
lescent F84 jets, plus one more
air wing which is only now re
ceiving its complement of Sabre
jets. By the same token, Gen
eralissimo Chiang Kai-shek's
ground forces theoretically com
prise two field armies of more
than ten divisions apiece. But all
but three or four of these divi
sions are now seriously under
strength. There are grave weak
nesses in artillery and other im
portant weapons. In general, the
equipment program, even for
the Chinese forces on threatened
Qliemoy Island, is seriously in
complete. Weigh these figures against
the immense power of the Com
munists on the mainland. Their
airpower, including the Russian
Air Force in Eastern Siberia, is
locally stronger than ours by a
factor . of nearly eight to one.
Their advantage in infantry is
almost as staggering. It makes a
melancholy balance sheet.
Five years ago, the Truman
Louis Johnson "defense econ
nomies" created a temptation
the enemy could not resist. The
result was the Korean aggres
sion. Could not the explanation
of the current Far Eastern crisis
be the simple fact that the same
temptation, of American weak
ness, has again been offered for
the same domestic political
economic motives?

Top Echelon Dispute
In Communist Russia
Makes Full Circle
Editor's Note: The following is sub
stituted for the foreign news com
mentary normally written by Charles
McCann, who is ill.
By W. A. RYSER
Written for United Press
. London (U.PJ The ideologi
cal dispute that has raged in
the top echelon of the Commu
nist party of Russia since the
death of Premier Josef " Stalin
has led full circle right back to
where Stalin left off .
Soviet experts here detect a
clear and significant shift to
ward "tough" policies in every
field of Russian endeavor. This
is their, conclusion based on an
analysis of the latest speech of
Party Secretary Nikita S. Khru
schev and the new budget pre
sented to the Supreme 'Soviet
last week.
The experts also doubted
whether any conciliatory ges
ture could be expected from the
Kremlin on foreign policy. . .
They noted the apparent con
tinued growth of the authority
of Khrushchev as the exponent
of the views of the entire pre
sidium of the central committee
of the party that is, the nine
men who rule Russia today.
Shift Pointed Up
The shift was pointed' up by
the renewed emphasis on heavy
industry which was proclaimed
both by Khrushchev in a speech
to thef central committee and Fi
nance Minister Arseny Zverex's
announcement of a significant
increase in the Soviet defense
spending.
The new general party line is
seen here as meaning the "new
course" emphasizing consumer
goods production, begun in 1953,
is now of ficialy dead and buried.
Is That So?
A quiz. Answer five of these
correctly and you're an outdoor
expert;' four is mighty good;
three is only fair to middling.
Answers follow questions. Let's
go.
1. Remember Ogden Nash's
poem: "Oh weep for Mr. and
Mrs. Bryan! He was eaten, by
a lion; following which, the
lion's lioness, Up and swallow
ed Bryan's Bryaness?" Now,
what would you call the male,
female and young of the Am
erican deer; the red deer of
Europe?, ' ;
2. About antlers: . are there
some animals in which both the
male and female grow antlers?
Are all antlers shed annually?
3. About: horns, what is the
difference between a horn and
antler? Are horns ever shed?;
4. Some animals are long
jumpers. Pair up these animals
with the longest recorded jumps:
weasel, man, cougar, horse kan
garoo, rat 3 feet, 12..26.7, 27,
38. .
5. Some animals are high
jumpers. Pair up these animals
with their highest recorded
jumps: pronghorn antelope, Am
erican elk, klipspringer, man,
lion five feet, 6 feet lite inch
es, 8, 9 and 25 feet.
Answers:'.. ;.i .
1. The male of the American
deer is a buck; the female a doe;
the young a fawn or 'a teg, if
it is a female, and a .button
buck or spitter if it is a. male.
The male of the Eureopean red
deer (European elk), is a hart or

However, the caribou (including
the reindeer), - both male r' and
female, grow them the male's
usually being slightly larger and
heavier. ' -

Dl RICHARD FREDERICK,Dentist

. The Removal of His Offices From

To
815 EAST MAIN
A combination of reasons is
seen for the change. But the
main ones are believed to be the
necessity of producing more
tractors for the . gigantic land
reclamation program in Kazakh
stan and Russia's military and
industrial commitments to Red
China.
According to official British
sources, the size of the Soviet
military establishment has not
increased during the last 12
months. It is believed, therefore,
that the additional money for
defense will be used mainly to
step up, Soviet research rind de
velopment of special weapons.
Party Line Stiffens
Observers point to Moscow's
uncompromising support of Red
China on the Formosa question
and the violent anti-American
campaign in the Soviet press as
evidence of this. They expect
no letup either in Europe on the
question of Austria and Ger
many... . " '
No matter how prominent a
role some of" the members- of
the party-presidium play in the
present session of the. Supreme
Soviet,' it appears evident that
the nine top men want to tell
the world 'they areas united as
ever. ..... .
So far, the entire "collective
leadership" has appeared at the;
sittings of the Supreme Soviet!
and their names were given in
the press in alphabetical order,
as usual.
Whatever the intensity of the
struggle for power , within the
Kremlin, no one seems to, have
suffered seriously from it so far.
There is a new general party
line now. But the men who will
carry it out are the same.

Road To Caves Needed -
To the" Editor: Concerning
your, column of the past, thirty
years ago, I see that Mr. Gore
of Medford was advocating a
road to connect with the Ore

The value and need of "such

I wonder if the public

Snittififf on a lumD of clay,
Christ made mud and this He
plastered on the eyes of the man
born bund.
"Go . wash in
in the pool of
Siloa m,"
Christ told
him. This the
man did and
he came see
ing. John 9th.
In -spite of it,
the law-folks
had small use
for Christ
ed men on the Sabbath .Day. In
this case, Christ openea xxcw
world to the blind. Mothers
face; Dad's;, flowers; trees; sky
a new world.- " :; -
The man now made to see told
the law-folks that it wa s God
who gave him eye-sight, for God
indwelt Christ. At that the law
f diks shut every door against the
man. Next he received Christ
into his heart as being God him
self and so he came into eternal
life.
- Sum Tt tin; He that has Christ
has life. He that has not Christ,
shall not see life but the wrath
of God abides on him see John
3:36. This message sent by a '
dairyman. j--Paid adv.
