MAIL TRIBUNE
Campaign for Sales Tax
Have you filled out your Oregon state income tax
return yet? Those who have find themselves shocked
at what 45 per cent surtax, passed by the 1955 legis
lature, means in terms of dollars and cents to the
average taxpayer. v
It was aggravated by the fact that, while the leg
islature did step up the withholding bite on pay
checks, this did not become effective until January 1
of this year. So the tax return, which is due on or be
fore April 16, will require a considerably bigger cash
outlay than in past years.
DEOPLE generally are more than usually tax con-
conscious these days what with the fairly gen
eral (and occasionally drastic) increase in property
taxes last fall, and the jolting rate of the income tax.
It is therefore no. surprise that agitation f or a sales
tax heretofore turned down on several occasions by
the voters of the state is revived. A lot was heard
about it during the legislative session last year, but
the session ended without any real solution reached
as to the problems of tax inequities. What the legis
lature did was to postpone its big problem for another
two years.
They'll undoubtedly have to face up to it during
the 1957 session.
IN THIS connection it is interesting to note that one
aspiring legislator, Sidney Bazett of Grants Pass,
former president of the Josephine County Chamber
of Commerce, is basing his campaign on his support
for a sales tax.
True, he has no opposition in the primary elec
tion. But the fact that he is flat-footedly for a' tax
which has been turned down repeatedly shows that
he either thinks things have changed, or is sufficiently
convinced that a sales tax is urgently necessary or
both.
TWO large groups traditionally have been against
A a sales tax in Oregon. These are farmers, and par
ticularly the Grange, and organized labor.
In quarter-page ads in tne Grants Pass papers,
Bazett sets out to show the working man why the
sales tax would be better for him than the present in
come tax.
He figures out the various tax rates for 11 differ
ent hypothetical individuals, ranging from a $2,400-per-year
millworker to an $8,500-per-year logger.
The millworker now pay's an income tax of $21.06.
If the sales tax plan (which eliminates income taxes
on incomes of couples earning less than $5,000) had
been in effect, he would have paid no income tax,
and his total payments of sales tax for the year would
have totaled an estimated $15 or a saving of $6.06.
Under the same plan, Bazett figures, the logger's pres
ent income tax of $185.22 would be reduced to $13.74
and his sales tax payments would total $60.90 a sav
ing of $110.58.
THE sales tax, Bazett points out, would not apply to
food or medicine, nor would taxes be paid on rent,
mortgage payments, savings or non-retail expendi
tures. Payroll withholding items are not subject to
tax, of course, so he suggests that those wishing to
figure out what they would pay in a sales tax should
add all these items together, subtract that from their
total income, and figure about 3 per cent on what is
left over.
That, he says, would approximate the sales tax
one would pay.
In answer to the question, "why will my taxes be
lower?" Bazett answers:
Because every one will actually pay some sales tax; the
tourist who spends millions in Oregon; the large number of
residents (estimated as high as one-third of our people) who
don't pay any income tax now, but who would start paying
something, and of course the thousands of business firms
will pay sales tax on their retail purchase of supplies, etc.
It would raise $90 million.
Those are Bazett's estimates, anyway, and they are
corroborated by other men who have made a study of
the problem although some think that $90,000,000 is
a bit high.
THE sales tax money would go into the state general
fund, along with income tax revenues. It would
thus be available for basic school support money, and
eventually would result in lower local property taxes
and the permanent abolition of state property taxes
and the withholding tax.
There will be much discussion of this proposal,
as well as alternates, during the coming year. This
program is similar to the one recently favored by the
Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, and there is
reason to believe that it is drawing support from
throughout the state even from former opponents
of a sales tax who have taken a good look at their
property and income tax bills this year. E.A.

Tito Feels
Among Stalin's Red Debunkers
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
There is just one big Commu
nist leader who isn't feeling any
pain thpsp davs. He is Marshal
Tito of Yugo-
slavia, for
years the No.
1 Communist
outside of the
Kremlin.
Tito found
out for himself
eight years
ago that Josef
Stalin was a

the astonishment of the world,
Tito had the boldness to proclaim
his discovery.
That, on the record as it has
unfolded since the recent Rus
sian Communist party Congress
in Moscow, makes Tito look
smarter than ever.
We read that the Communist
party leaders in France, Italy
and Great Britain, to name only
three countries, are in danger of
losing their jobs as the result of
Stalin's official debunking.
Tito Sitting Easy
Tito, on the contrary, is sitting
back easy in his office in the
white palace in Belgrade, where
as president he rules Yugoslavia's
17,000,000 people, or in his villa
at Brioni on the Adriatic Sea.
It would be interesting to
know just what Tito thinks about
the big Stalin crisis. He must be
getting a lot of laughs.
Tito, who will be 64 on May
25, was a village locksmith,
dreaming of emigrating to the
United States, when World War I
broke out. He was drafted into
the Austrian Army and taken
prisoner by the Russians. In Rus
sia, he was caught up in the Red
revolution. He became a Commu
nist. Back home, he was put in
prison. After his release he went
to Moscow. He returned home
in 1937. In World War II, Tito
organized a guerilla army of
150,000 men to fight the Ger
mans and the Italian Fascists.
After the war, he threw young
King Peter off the throne, and
became president.
Stalin began demanding that
the Communist - ruled countries
of Europe gear their entire econ
omy to that of Russia, for Rus
sia's benefit.
Other Communist leaders gave
in spinelessly. Tito balked. He
said that his own country's inter
ests must come first.
On June 28, 1948, the Russian
dominated Communist Informa
tion Bureau, the Cominform, de
nounced Tito's leadership and
said he must get back on the
party beam.
Russians Apologize
Tito refused. He won the sup
port of his own Communist party
and of Yugoslavs in general.
Kremlin Communism outlawed
him. '
"Wicked, cunning, artful
sneak" . . . "blood-thirsty dwarf"
. . . "coward Tito" . . . "Judas
Tito" . . . Vile and .repulsive"
. . . "spy and murderer" . . .
"Fascist traitor" were some of
the epithets applied to him.
Stalin died. Nikita S. Khrush
chev and Nikolai A. Bulganin
went on a pilgrimage to Belgrade
last May to apologize and make
up. They didn't rget vary far.
Tito accepted the apology, and
agreed to accept any aid the Rus
sians wanted to give him finan

In Moscow, the official com
munist party newspaper Pravda
puts the cap sheaf on the anti-
Stalin campain by attacking the
deceased dictator as a Vainglori
ous man whose high-handed ac
tions did great harm to the
party.
VUHAT are the present Krem
' lin big shots up to in their
cuss-out-Stalin tactics?
In an effort to answer that
question, let's ask another ques
tion:
What is a poker player up to
when he does whatever he does?

Answer to Question No. 1:

of the communists is to mislead
us if they can so that they can
hit us hard when we aren't look

Churchillian Speech
On Stalin Forecast;
Headlines Predicted
(United Press Correspond
ents around the world look
ahead at the news that will
make the headlines).
Back To The Wars
Insiders in London say that
Sir Winston Churchill is pre
paring a dramatic speech on the
international situation. Details
are secret. But informants ex
pect an eloquent appeal to the
West to capitalize on the de
bunking of Josef Stalin. Chuch
ill feels that the Kremlin's em
barrassment in explaining why
Stalin was permitted to continue
his villanies so long, offers the
Allies a chance to alter their
tactics radically. He feels the
moment has come for them to
abandon defensive diplomacy
and launch a hard-hitting offen
sive. If the "Old Master" does
make the speech, he probably
will do it at a university ap
pearance this month or during
a later scheduled visit to West
Germany.
More Embarrassment?
Don't be surprised if reports
leak from Russia of riots in the
gigantic Vorkuta forced labor
camp on the Arctic coast. Some
200 persons were killed there
when prisoners rioted after the
purging of secret police chief
Lavrenti P. Beria in July, 1953.
Many men sent to slavery by
Stalin are being "sprung" now.
Those who are not released may
decide this would be a good
time for another riot.

The Atomic Energy Commis

soon that a small number of
public observers will be permit

men will be selected to repre

The idea would be to prevent
a publicity fiasco like that of
1954. Then the government
tried to conduct the tests in
complete secrecy. The plan
backfired sensationally and

agreed to write into the political

90 per cent of parity.
Not only that, but it voted to
retain in the bill a "dual parity"
plan which would allow pro

Builders, lenders and some

Congress to extend the G. I.

Washington reports that no

man Olin E. Tague (D-Tex.), of
the House Veterans committee,

it, is convinced no extension is
warranted. That would mean
that the G.I. loan privilege
would expire in July, 1957, for

would have another nine years.

it seized as' part of the 1944

Stop Eating
To the Editor: A theory has
been recently expounded in this
column which displays an in
teresting disregard for quantity;
i.e. sodium fluoride is used in
etching glass and therefore we
should not fluoridate our water
supply.
Using this same reasoning,
consider the following:
1. Table salt is sodium chlor
ide and with water will rust iron,
therefore, we should not use salt
at all.
2. Tea contains tannic acid,
which will turn skin into leather
(used in the tanning industry);
therefore we should not drink
tea.
3. Cauliflower, brussel sprouts
and cabbage have a high content
of cyanogen compounds (hydro
cyanic acid is used in prison
death chambers) therefore, these
vegetables should be avoided.
4. Brain, liver, cheese, choco
late, egg yolk, meats, poultry,
fish, milk, nuts and wheat germ,
whole grain cereals are all high
m phosphorus content. Phos
phorus is a non-metalic poison,
used as a war gas. Therefore,
we should not eat any of the
aforementioned foods.
The logical conclusion to this
quantity-disregarding theory is,
of course, stop eating. (Further,
it has long been stated that there
has been insufficient study on
fluoridation to warrent its use.)
The following took place during
the Delaney hearings:
Mr. Abernethy: "Well, for that
matter, do we know that all of
the foods we eat are without
harm?"
Dr. Cameron: "We do not
know, but I can say that exten
sive studies are underway to
establish this point."
Now, fellow citizens, I suggest
we give up this dangerous eat
ing practice altogether, until
further study indicates that all
our foods are completely safe.
Certainly this reasoning is no
less ridiculous than the fantastic
claims of the minority opposing
fluoridation. It is well known
that dietary deficiencies lead to
deficiency diseases; fluorine de
ficiency in water leads to tooth
decay. The opposition is farced
into making wild claims, insin
uations and misstatements which
makes it rather difficult to carry
on any sort of enlightened den
tal health program.
Since I know there are ques
tions about the safety of fluori
dation, go to your doctor about
the safety factor and ask your
dentist about the benefits to be
gained.

To the Editor; A recent edit
orial in the Mail Tribune, tell
ing of the status of some of the
countries which make "up the
British Commonwealth, describ
ed Canada as "a dominion."
The word "dominion," what
even its significance may have

of the country which lies to the
north of us, and Canada today
is as politically independent as
Australia, or the Union of South

Matter of Fact y
ESTES AND THE EGGHEADS
Washington One of the
queerest phenomena of the cur
rent political scene is the total
lack of enthus
iasm of the lib
erals and in
tellectuals the old New
Dealers, if you
will for the
candidacy of
Sen. Estes Ke
fauver. By all
the rules of
i . e
Stewart Alsop logic, rveiauv-
er really ought to be the liberals'
chosen knight in shining armor.
Consider, for example, an in
cident in August 1954, when
Kefauver was up for re-election
in Tennessee. In a tough pri
mary campaign, he had been
rounSly denounced for "softness
on Communism," his most likely
Republican opponent, it then
seemed, was Ray Jenkins, the
committee counsel who had al
most out-McCarthyed McCarthy
at the famous hearings.
SEN. HUBERT Humphrey had
introduced a catch-all anti
Communist bill, whose obvious
political purpose was to outbid
the Republicans on the Com
munist issue. On the day of the
key vote, Kefauver's most influ
ential Tennessee supporter tele
phoned to urge him to speak as
well as vote for the bill, and
thus get off the "soft on Com
munism" hook. Kefauver
mumbled that the bill seemed to
him to have "some elements of
thought suppression."
Some hours later, the Ten
nessee backer telephoned again,
to repeat his urgings. He reach
ed Richard Wallace, Kefauver's
legislative assistant, who told
him he was too late a key mo
tion by Humphrey had just been
passed, 81 to one, and Kefauver
was the one. "My God," the
supporter groaned, "that really
finishes Estes."
TT DIDN'T, of course Kefau
ver went on to win handsome
ly. But this episode alone should
have been enough to make Ke
fauver a hero with the liberals.
And the episode does not stand
alone. There are in Kefauver's
voting record a number of dis
plays of genuine political cour
age. In the House, for example, Ke
fauver was one of a handful
who voted against making the
Un-American Activities commit
tee a permanent committee. In
the Senate, he voted against the
McCarran act, and to sustain
President Truman's veto of the
Act.
A Southerner he voted against
cloture (for which his fellow
Southerners will never forgive
him) and publicly favored anti
lynching legislation. Indeed, on
every major piece of domestic
and foreign legislation his vot
ing record is impeccable from
the liberal point of view. Yet
the liberals do not like him.
rpHERE is no doubt about that.
Kefauver's win over Adlai
Stevenson in Minnesota was
wildly unpopular in liberal in
tellectual circles all over the
country this despite the fact
that Stevenson is a very much
more conservative man than Ke-
United States of America.
It is true that Canadian poli
tics makes very little news in
the United States. There are four
political parties of national im
portance in Canada, and one re
gional party in Quebec. But
when the present Prime Minis
ter was reelected a couple of
years ago last summer most of
the people down here hardly
oothered to look up from' their
plowing or their golf, or what
ever else it was that they were
busy at. Well, maybe that is a
good sign after all. It probably
means, that we trust the people
up there, and feel sure that they
will not hatch up any hare
brained schemes which will in
any way hurt our traditional
friendship.

fauver.
It is hard to put your finger
on' just why the liberals are so
cold to the man who ought, log- -ically,
to be their hero (just as it
is hard to explain just why
many Republicans dislike Vice
President Richard Nixon). No
doubt the famous coonskin hat
has had something to do with it.
So, no doubt, does Kefauver's
drawling voice and excessively
folksy manner.
Kefauver lacks in the ele
gance . and eloquence liberals
like in their heroes. Many sus
pect, moreover, that Kefauver's
liberalism is a matter of shrewd
political calculation rather than
inner conviction (although this
would hardly account for such
episodes as . those described
above). Others suspect that there
is inadequate mental equip
ment under the coonskin cap
(although Kefauver's handling
of the Dixon-Yates investigation,
was, in its way, brilliant).
VUHATEVER the reason, the
' liberal distaste for Kefauv
er is a significant political phen
omenon. The liberals of the New
Deal stripe do not dominate the
Democratic Party, as they once
did. But they retain great power
at conventions, as they demon
strated when the labor-liberal
bloc forced old Alben Barkley
to step down in 1952. As things
stand, Kefauver can hardly hope
to go to the convention with
more than a third of the dele
gate votes, even if he knocks
Adlai Stevenson right out of the
ring in Florida and California.
With the Southern grandees
and the Northern big city pro
fessionals unalterably opposed
to him, Kefauver might still go
over with the enthusiastic sup
port from at least a sizeable
portion of the liberal fraternity.
But despite his proven appeal .
to the commonalty .(or perhaps
because of it) Kefauver seems
constitutionally incapable of at
tracting this kind of support.
This is a major reason why it is
still remarkably difficult to see
how he can get the nomination.

Bible Miracles
GEO. N. TAYLOR
The wind shrieked; the clouds
were dark and low and the little
fishing craft rose and felL
Christ slept
thru it all. At
last a disciple
awoke Him
with "Carest
Thou not that
we perish?"
At that Christ
arose and re
buked the
storm. The
wind died out.
The sun came out and all nature
smiled. And why Christ's mir
acles? One reason is that in those
days, any man who said he
spoke for God must do a miracle
for you. Christ's blood cleanses
to prove it. And today there is a
miracle for you. Christ's blood
cleanses away your sins. Accept
Him as your Lord and Saviour.
Then the miracle an act of God.
Accept Christ as your Lord and
Saviour and God blots out your
sins and gives you eternal life.
