MAIL TRIBUNE
The Income . Tax Plan
State Rep. Al Littrell has sent us an interesting
breakdown of how the proposed new income tax law
would affect taxpayers of
The bill, key to the tax program passed recently
by the House and now being studied by the Senate's
tax committee, is meeting opposition in the upper
body because many Senators feel it would not raise
enough money to meet the state's prospective deficit.
IN the first place, the whole proposed tax program
is predicated on a number of assumptions : that the
budget can be cut so much, that revenues will attain
such-and-such a level, and
One of these assumptions is that a cigarette tax,
part of the tax "package," will not be referred to a
vote of the people as it has
m the past. It is also assumed that the income tax
hike itself will not be referred a somewhat shaky
assumption at best.
MOW, to. the income tax
raise an estimated $10,400,000 more per year
than is raised by the present income tax. It would
lower personal exemptions and dependency credits
from $600 to $500. It would change the tax rates to
a minimum of 2 per cent on the first $500 earned and
up to 9 per cent on all income over $10,000 annually.
A table prepared by the research section of the
state tax commission applies these changes to various
income levels for a hypothetical individual who files
a joint return and has one
There is no state or federal income tax for this
individual up to the $2,000
At the $3,000 level, however, he now pays about
$177 in federal tax and $14 in state tax, a total of
some $192. Under the new
less federal income tax, $7
a net increase of $5, or 2.7
tax w'ould amount to 45.1
At the $5,000 income level, the total tax is now
$585. The new proposal would boost the total to $607',
a net increase of $22, and
per cent overall (or a hike
cent).
At the $10,000 level, present total tax is $1,673.
The new tax would lift this total (including state and
federal) to $1,726, a decrease of $15 in federal tax,
an increase of $67 in" state tax, for a net increase of
$52. The percentage increase is 30.8 per cent for state
tax, and an over-all increase of 3.1 per cent.
OING on up, to the $100,000 level, the net increase
amounts to $119, a 12.2 per cent change in the
state tax, but only a .2 per cent change in the overall
total, making it $52,716 instead of $52,597 as at
present. . . .
This proposal squeaked through the House with
a margin of only one vote. The balloting was 31 for,
27 against, but the measure needed the 31 pro votes
to give it a constitutional majority rof the 60 house
votes. E.A.
What Alternative?
Whether we like it or don't, the legislature is
heading for some sort of plan such as outlined above.
It is full of loopholes and weak spots, but the legisla
ture has not yet shown any disposition to formulate
a sounder program.
It is generally admitted (as Sen. Lee Ohmart
pointed out during a recent talk in Medford) that it is
a "stop-gap" program one to keep the state theoret
ically solvent, without regard to a basically sound
program, until it is possible to revamp the system with
some hope of getting a plan approved by the voters.
A BOUT the only alternative which has been put
"forward so far is a sales tax, in one form or anoth
er. But it appears evident that this legislature is not
disposed to pass one, for a variety of reasons. (One
legislator writes, "Although I am not in favor of this
(the income tax) program, as I prefer a sales tax, un
der tlie circumstances it looks like the best we are
going to be able to do.")
Many -legislators are pleased that two sales tax
bills are being studied by legislative committees, even
if there is no chance of getting them approved. This
seemingly odd attitude is caused by the fact that they
want to see a "good" sales tax plan drawn up, studied
and ready, in case a group of voters takes it upon
itself to initiate a sales tax proposal.
a
MANY OF them believe that sales tax proposals in
1V1 the past have been defeated by the voters be
cause they have lacked some of the equalizing fea
tures that make them popular (or at least accepted)
forms of taxation in the 30-odd other states where
they are in use.
They believe that a sales tax which exempts food,
medicines, drugs and certain other necessities (in
cluding lodging and rent), would receive enthusias
tic support from the voters, including labor and f arm
groups which have in the past led in the fight to de
feat sales taxes.
IN ANY event, the problem is far from solved.
1 On Feb. 28, in this space, we said :
There is, a lack of direction and unity in the present
legislature. There is tension and apprehension, for no mat
ter what solution they come up with to solve the problem
of taxes and finances, their decisions are subject to reversal
by the voters. Their labors may go for nothing, and the
state may suffer seriously as a result. We would not be too
surprised to see a special election or a special session, or
both, within the year, unless the legislators come up with
something now unforeseen, v.

Matter of Fact
SOME UGLY ALGEBRA
Saigon, Indo-China The real
key to the situation in this un
happy country is a
political
equation that a
sixth grader
could solve.
On one side
of this equa
tion are three
relativ ely
knowable fac
tors: the condi
dition of the
Vietnamese na
tional army,
and the condi-
Joseph Also
tion of Viet
Minh power in the North. On
the other side is the eternal un
known, the future.
Work out the three knowable
factors. Unless all the experts
are wrong about these factors,
the result equals eventual Viet
Minh victory here in Southern
Indochina, which in turn will
equal a general catastrophe in
Southern Asia.
The trouble in the countryside
is simple. President Ngo Dinh
Diem is a notably bad adminis
trator. He has also been continu
ously and perhaps inescapably
preoccupied with the struggle
for personal power in Saigon.
Thus he has left an almost com
plete administrative vacuum in
the provinces.
The ruthless and well organ
ized Communist apparatus has
been quick to send its cadres into
this vacuum. In the region of the
great rubber estate over towards
the Cambodian border, for in
stance, military measures pre
vented Viet Minh infiltration un
til Geneva ended the fighting.
But now the Viet Minh cadres
have poured in and taken over
the villages.
Again, the important province
of Nha Trang has always been
predominantly Nationalist rath
er than Communist. But in re
cent months great numbers of
Viet Minh cadres one unhappy
local official guesses as many as
2,000 have quietly moved into
Nha Trang from the neighboring
Communist stronghold of Quong
Hay. And now Nha Trang is be
ing taken over too.
In the feudal domains of the
military regilious sects, to be
sure, infiltrating Viet Minh ca
dres still get short shrift. But
when the heat is really on, the
sect leaders who are now fight
ing President Diem, will surely
tend to make the same personal
deals with the Viet Minh that
the comparable Chinese war
lords made with the Chinese
Communists.
IN THE much larger area of
Southern Indochina not under
sect control, meanwhile, between
60 and 70 per cent of the villages
are already subject to strong
Viet Minh influence, according
to estimates from American offi
cial sources. French estimates,
based on more detailed knowl
edge, give the Viet Minh proba
ble control of a fantastic 70 to 90
per cent of the villages.
. Today, to be sure, the simple
people of Viet Nam are desper
ately war weary. If a strong gov
ernment could be created m Sai
gon by some unforeseen miracle
war weariness would help to
take the villages away from the
Viet Minh. But unles all signs
deceived, Ho Chi Minh will
shortly be able to raise the Indo-
chinese countryside against the
Saigon government by the sim
ple act of sending his secret
couriers across the 17th parallel.
In other words, Ho Chi Minh
will be able to recreate in the
South the same conditions that
defeated the strong French army
in Tonkin. In that nightmare
war, the French forces held only
the towns and strong points and
even used the roads at their
peril. And because most of the
French forces were always tied
down guarding their own rear
against a hostile countryside,
there were never enough French
troops left over to confront the
main body of Viet Minh regu
lars.
Such is the first factor of our
equation which in turn confers
a rather lurid importance on the
second factor, the "Vietnamese
national army. This army is now
disorganized, demoralized and
suffering a hemorrhage of de
sertions.
Retraining and reorganization
have just been started by Lt.
Gen. John W. O'Daniel's Franco-
American 'Trim" group. But of
the six planned Vietnamese divi
sions, only three will have re
ceived serious retraining by next
year. The other three will mere
ly get 10 days apiece of "indoc
trination." And three fair and
three dubious divisions are no
force to carry the burden the
French carried in the Tonkin
Delta.
Finally, the equation's third
factor, the power of the Viet
Minh in the North, has been
growing steadily. As predicted
earlier by this reporter, the in
telligence experts have had to
raise their forecasts, giving Gen.
Vo Nguyen Giap a fuU 20 divi
sions by the spring of 1956.
-
HOW then does this equation
workout. Obviously the
first part of the answer is that
the Viet Minh would prefer to
take Southern Indochina by
peaceful means either at the
Geneva-required' election or the
formation of a "Government of
National Union" in Saigon.
But if they cannot take thei
South peacefully, yet have con
By Joseph Alsep
trol of the Southern countryside,
then the Viet Minh will surely
order the guerrillas into action.
They will filter a few guerrilla
disguised small units of regulars
into the South,- both to intimi
date any hesitant villages and
to lead the guerrilla effort. And
they will hold the balance of
their regulars, say seven divi
sions, in reserve to discourage
French or American interven
tion. In these circumstances, inter
vention with large ground forces
will be remarkably unattractive.
In these circumstances, interven
tion with the air-sea mobile
striking force Secretary Dulles
is always talking about, wiU be
about as useful as taking a blud
geon to a swarm of wasps. But
iii these circumstances, if there
is no effective intervention to
save Southern Indochina, the
Vietnamese national army .will
not be able to hold out for more
than three months.
This estimate of the Vietnam
ese army's future capability
against the kind of insidious
Viet Minh attack that is now
generally foreseen, has been of
ficially forwarded to Washing
ton and Paris by the responsible
American and French officers.
It is probably an optimistic esti
mate. At any rate, it is the final
answer of this Indochinese equa
tion, which can make a mockery
of Geneva, turn the Manila pact
into a bitterly bad joke, and seal
the fate of all South Asia.

The rich, fat, productive, prac
tical food basket that is the Im
perial valley and its exotic and
glamorous neighbor, the Coa
chella valley, provide an in
teresting climax for a period of
wandering in the higher deserts
of the Southwest.
In this particular spring, it
provides some interesting and
pleasant climatic contrasts. It
was a nippy ten above in Reno.
It was a crisp 15 above in Sante
Fe. It was invigoratingly cool
in Albuquerque. It SNOWED in
El Paso a measurable inch of
the Stuff. Tucson was warm, but
not too warm.
In the Imperial and Coachella
valleys, where the mercury
climbs to 120 in the summer (in
the shade, that is) is it H-O-T!
One pants and sweats. The men
wander around in sleeveless
shirts and walking shorts. Men
and women alike have a rich
mahogany tan.
Down here, the sun really
gets results.
THESE valleys have an interst
ing geological history. They
were once an arm of the sea.
All around, one sees the marks
of the old shoreline on the hills.
Into this ancient bay flowed
two rivers, the Colorado and the
Gila. Their waters were heavy
with silt carried down from the
mountains. After the manner of
the Nile and the Mississippi and
other great rivers in various
parts of the world, they built
deltas at their mouths.
As the millienniums passed,
these deltas dammed off the bay,
leaving a landlocked body of
ocean water. In time, their water
evaporated, leaving great salt
beds. The level of these. salt beds
was far below che level of the
sea.
AS the waters of the rivers
slowprl iinon reachine the
level coastal plain, they dropped
their silt, thus BUILDING UP
the river, bed above the level of
the surrounding plain. Then, in
time, periods of flood would
come and the rivers, notably the
Colorado, would BREAK
THROUGH their silty banks and
again flood the inland sea.
No one knows how often this
may have happened over the
eons of time during which the
mountains were being eroded
away, but at least it happened
again during a flood period in
1905. The restless Colorado
broke through its banks and
poured its full flow into the
depressed basin that once was
an arm of the ocean. After two
years of struggle, the break was
finally repaired, but in the mean
time the Salton sea was formed.
The Salton sea is now 35 miles
long, ten to 16 miles wide and
has a maximum depth of 70 feet.
The surface of its water is 241
feet below the level of the sea
and its salt content is about the
same as the ocean.
THE waters of the Colorado
have Vipen harnessed and
snread over the fertile areas that
lie above the level of the ancient
salt beds. The soil is rich. The
sun is hot. There is no biting cold
to inhibit growth. Tnere is no
WINTER season. The summer is
merely hotter than the winter.
Water for irrigation is presently
abundant.
With rich soil, hot sunshine
and abundant water, production
is huge and dependable, in tne

takes the form of grain and hay
and vegetables and sugar beets
and such. The Imperial valley
produces the staples of life.

Soviet Russia Starts
Reshuffling Policy
On Foreign
Bv CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
Soviet Russia has started auite
an extensive foreign policy re
shuffle because of the prospec
tive rearming
of W e s t er n
Germany.
It has given
its long threat
ened formal
notice that it
intends to an
nul its mutual
aid pacts with
Great Britain
and France.
At the same
Charles Mccann , time it has ex
pressed the hope in notes to the
united btates, Britain and
France that a treaty to restore
Austria's sovereignty can be con
cluded soon. -
Before long, the Kremlin is
expected to summon delegates
of its Iron Curtain satellite cov-
ernments to Moscow to organize
a combined military command.
i ne notmcation to Britain and
France that the mutual aid
treaties are to be annulled has
caused no excitement.
No Meaning To Treaty
Not only was the annulment
threat made months ago but the
treaties themselves had lone
ceased to mean anvthinz. Th
Kremlin's action is nothins?
more than an empty gesture.
J. he formation of a combined
Iron Curtain military command
will be m the empty gesture
class, also.
The armed forces of the satel
lite countries of Communist east
ern Europe are under the con
trol of the Kremlin now and
they will continue to be.
. From Russia's viewpoint the
trouble is that in the event of a
war not one' of the satellite
armies could be trusted to fight
the allies. They might well end
up marching eastward instead of
westward.
Whether the Kremlin's Aus
trian Treaty action is an empty
gesture should become apparent
soon.
By invitation, Austrian Chan
cellor Julius Raab was to start
talks with Soviet Foreign Minis
ter V. M. Molotov today in Mos
cow.
Warning of Caution
Raab has said that he will
intake no binding commitments
in Moscow but will try to find
out Molotov's price for a treaty.
To make sure that Raab is not
coerced into any "deal," the
United States, Britain and
France have made a loint decla
ration cautioning both- Russia
and Austria against trying to
make any one sided agreements,
The big question is still
whether Russia is willing to null
its occupation troops out of Aus
tria. The probability is that it
will not, and thus that there will
be no treaty at this time.
If Soviet Foreign Minister
Molotov had a sense of humor
he undoubtedly would smile
when he thought of denouncing
the treaties with Britain and
work in a handsome Sealcraft
binding. Each week, new ques
tions will be considered. Sorry,
I simply can't answer your many

out one sin. Only Christ's blood
cleanses from sin I John 1:7.
Our part is to receive Jesus
Christ into our heart as our own
Lord and Saviour. At that, God
writes eternal life on our page.
Good works? Being saved let
Jesus Christ work them out thru
you. And by Bible and prayer,
let us grow up.
