The 1955 Legislative Interim committee has or dered a new tax bill to be ready for passage at the start of next year's session. A new bill is badly needed. For the present measure is sending residents out of the state, particularly to California. And Oreo-nn can not afford a tax set-up that decreases its population come-tax paying groups. We need more residents in this bracket, not less. Mpdfnrd has Inst several citizens the Dast vear chiefly for this reason of excessive throughout the state must be considerable. Any tax system that works in this fashion is a bad one and should be repealed. THERE are two chief objections to the present meas-- ure. No. 1 is the 45 per cent surtax. No. 2 is no limit placed on the capital gains tax. The government limits the latter to 25 per cent of the total profit, but Oregon places its tax on all of it 100 per cent. As has often been stated, the Mail Tribune be lieves in the income tax as a principle, and through the years has consistently supported such a tax for the state as well as the nation. But there is a limit to what should be done in this direction, and Oregon has passed that limit. , If this state hasirt the highest income tax in the country, it comes mighty close to it. In short, unless repealed or materially modified it will price Oregon out of the market as far as new residents are con cerned or retaining the older ones. . fF COURSE this situation offers a golden oppor- tunity to the long frustrated supporters of a sales tax. The Mail Tribune has opposed a sales tax f or many years, and the people of Oregon have sustained this view time after time. A sales tax, unlike an income tax, places the major burden upon those least able to pay. But if the only alternative is the present unfair set-up with its 45 per cent surtax and 100 per cent capital-gains tax, then as far as this paper is con cerned we are ready to swallow the sales tax pill, and like it. We won't like the taste, guards, including food and medicine exemptions, some such procedure is the only way to restore the state s financial health then we are for it. OOWEVER, before going overboard entirely we A " would like to have a careful nonpartisan apprais al of the entire tax structure made, to remove any doubt that some form of sales tax IS the only alterna tive. A member of the Legislature whose opinion we respect maintains the evidence is conclusive that this is the case, and he cites.a long list of states with sales taxes to prove it. J - ? OK if that is the only feasible way to get rid of the present tax injustice, then the time has come, we believe, to forget our long cherished preconceptions against such a tax and adopt one. R.W.R. Another "Ifu" Question The Grants Pass Courier, which doesn't seem very affectionately disposed toward the Mail Tribune of late, asks what assurance this paper can give that Senator Wayne Morse having pulled the "big switch" once will not if re-elected do so again. In other words, how can a man who has switched from one party to another be trusted not to switch back again? Well, it depends, of course, upon the reasons for the "switch." If, as with our senior Senator, it was a matter of placing principle above party then until there is a radical change in that party and those prin ciples, there can be every assurance that there will be no change in the affiliation. TIE HAVE followed the career of Wayne Morse since he was first named Dean of the Oregon Law School. We have never known him to compromise with his always strongly held principles, or lack the cour age of his convictions, no matter how unpopular they might, at any given time, be. ' v We never expect him to. ,. Win, lose or draw Wayne Morse can always be depended upon to do what he BELIEVES to be right best for his state and nation letting the chips fall where they may. The only man in public life in Oregon in recent years, who had similar courage (and like our senior Senator was too prone, perhaps, to lead with his chin), was our late and sincerely lamented Governor and Congressman, General Charles H.' Martin of Portland. These two Oregonians represent the type of independent and intelligent statesmanship this paper has through all the years supported, and be lieves is today so greatly needed for the betterment of this state and the welfare of the nation. "N THE other hand if some weird transformation should occur, the Democratic party should come out for General Motors, General Electric, and Gen eral Reaction to name only a few of the GOP chiefs of staff while the elephant should suddenly become reincarnated with the spirit of Teddy Roosevelt and the Bull Moose crusading spirit ! Well, even then we would not expect Senator Morse to execute any "switch," but we would not be surprised to find him taking a long walk at the next national election, and many of the voters with him. But that after all is purely academic. For the age of political miracles has passed, and such a transformation would rank, if it ever occurred, at the top of the list in that classification. R.W.R.

McCANN United. Press Correspondent There is growing talk in Paris that a ' "strong man" may be needed to get France out of its F'i'lv?:' 7 political and economic dif ficulties. .' These diffi culties stem largely from World War II, in which France suf fered sorely, and from the Charles McCann surge OI antl- colonialism which followed it. But they have been intensi fied by 10 years of recurrent cabinet crises due to a multi party political system and re sulting instability. Socialist leader Guy Mollet took office Feb. 1 as premier of France's 22nd post-war govern ment. He leads a coalition cabinet representing the "Republican Front" of the Socialist, Radical Socialist and Democratic and Socialist Resistance Union par ties. These parties hold only 172 seats in the 596 seat National Assembly. Mollet depends on the support of other left-of-center groups and the Communists. The Civil Rights Issue Viewed As Important in Election Plans of Parties in 1956 By HELEN B. SHAFFER Washington National manag ers of the Democratic party show more concern about how big-city Negroes are going to vote in 1956 than at any time since the mid-1930s. For two decades the Negro vote has been almost solid ly Democratic; this year colored voters are giving signs of a readi ness to switch back to the "party of emancipation." Not that Negroes are highly pleased with the positions on ra cial issues of the Republican party or the Eisenhower admin istration. For one thing they would like to have the President take forceful action to compel obedience to the Supreme Court's school desegregation or der in the South. And they re gard the civil rights program submitted by the Attorney Gen eral on Apr. 9 as far too weak and too long delayed to get ac tion before the present session of Congress ends. - ' v, See Southern Domirialion - But colored-voters are being told by the GOP and their own leaders that the Democratic party has shown that it is domin ated by a southern leadership still strongly attached to white supremacy. Also that Demo cratic victory in November would keep southerners in key positions in Congress among them Sen. James O. Eastland CD Miss.) whose chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee puts him in position to obstruct civil rights legislation and to block appointments to the fed eral bench at a time when much of the fight against segregation must be conducted in the courts. , Sen. Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex.), majority leader of the Senate, has proposed a constitutional amendment to outlaw the poll tax in federal electrons and this has a fair chance of Senate, ap proval, for the southerners do not oppose submitting such an amendment to the states. But poll taxes are no longer regarded as a serious obstacle even in the five southern states where they must stUl be paid as a prerequi site to voting. Leaders of the colored race are not much inter ested in the Johnson amendment; they say that if Congress wants to abolish the poll tax it can do that by a simple statute adopted by majority vote. Many Free lo Vote While covert intimidation and fancy, registration requirements materially restrict Negro voting in the rural South, the three to four million Negroes of voting age who live in the North are as free to exercise the franchise as any other citizen. And their vot ing efficiency is high. It appears to be higher than that of various other special groups house wives, northern farmers, trade union members. Negro organiza tions are now urging their mem bers to go to the polls in No vember in greater numbers than ever before. This is important to political managers because most of the northern Negroes live in heavily populated states which have many votes in the electoral col lege. As has frequently been pointed out, the big-city, Ne groes, if skillfully organized and strongly allied with other minor ities interested in protection of civil rights, could exercise a bal ance of power in close national elections. Truman' Had Support In the election of 1948 Harry Truman had the almost unani mous support of Negro voters. He would have failed of an elec toral college majority if a few thousand votes in any two of three states which went Demo cratic by margins of less than one per cent of the popular vote had been cast the other way. Democratic standing with Ne gro voters could be improved Communists, with 144 seats, have the biggest representation in the Assembly. Mollet Faces Tests Mollet faces a series of tests in the National Assembly this week. Some of them will in volve votes of confidence. The issues include Algeria and in creased social security benefits. French political experts pre dict that Mollet will survive. But it will be partly oecause the Assembly does not want a cab inet crisis while the Algerian situation remains critical. The long-range outlook is for a continued period of uncertain ty because Mollet's coalition lacks a majority in Parliament and also because the coalition it self is shaky. Hence comes the renewed talk that a "strong man" might be the answer. The only candidate in sight, if things came to that, is Gen. Charles De Gaulle, wartime leader of Free France. . De Gaulle headed the govern ment after the war, but retired from office in January, 1946. He remained, for a long time, a power in politics with his political group, the Rally of the French People. But the party gradually fell to pieces. De Gaulle remained in retire- this year by nominating Gov. Averell Harriman of New York as the party's standard bearer and adopting a strong declara tion on civil rights. However, such action would invite a repe tition of the southern walkout of 1948 and could lead to revival of the States' Rights party in the South or to a switch of import ant southern support to Eisen Growing West Offers Tempting Political Prize to Big Washington (CQ) The Far West with 79 electoral votes, 57 House seats, eight Senate seats and six governorships at stake .in ; November offers a' tempting, .political, prize to Re publicans and Democrats. On the basis of the -1954 elec tion, things are looking up for the Democrats in the eight Mountain and three Pacific coast states that comprise the West. They picked 'up Senate seats in Oregon and Wyoming and lost one in (jblorado, for a net gain of one. They also elected three Democratic governors in Ari zona, Colorado and New Mex ico where there were none before. Uphill Fight But Democrats face an uphill fight against President Eisen hower in the West. The 1952 Republican candidate carried 51 of 57 Congressional districts and all 11 states, with 57.3 per cent of the more than , 9,000,000 votes. That was some 2 per cent more than for the nation as a whole. Population shifts could hold the key to the outcome of bal loting this November. Census figures show that, from 1950 to 1955, the West as a whole gain ed about 3,600,000 persons for an increase of 18.3 per cent, or twice the national average. Al most 2,500,000 of this gain was in California alone. . The political importance of these gains is underscored by the results of a special analysis of the' population and voting characteristics of California's 30 Congresisonal districts, based on the 1954 election and the 1950 census the latest complete fig ures available. GOP Outvoted Democrats outvoted Republi cans in the 1954 Congressional races in California by more than 100,000 votes statewide. But Democrats elected only 11 Representatives to 19 for the Republicans. This disparity in results seems to stem from the relative size of the Congression al districts, which were reap portioned to give California seven additional House seats following the 1950 census. Congressional Quarterly's study found that 18 of the state's 30 districts qualified as metro politan that is, almost whoUy urban. In 1954, Republicans won in 12 of these districts, Democrats in six. Of the dozen non-metropolitan districts, Re publicans won seven, Democrats five. The six Democratic city dis tricts averaged 435,000 popula tion in 1950, or 40 per cent larg er than the 309,000-person aver age for the 12 Republican city districts. Unless the GOP-repre-sented districts have grown and continue to grow at a much fast er pace than the six Democratic led districts, Democrats will con tinue to be at a disadvantage in Congressional contests until an other reapportionment follow- i ment at his country home. Now he is starting to visit Paris again each week. His re cent visitors have included Pierre Mendes-France, Radical Socialist and co-leader of the Mollet coalition. French Fear Strong Men De Gaulle certainly is the "strong man" type. He holds that the only way out of France's plight is to dissolve the National Assembly, elect a con stituent assembly and write a new constitution. Under this constitution, as De Gaulle sees it, France would have an American-type consti tution. This would mean a strong executive, headed by a man who would wield the power of both president and premier, sup ported by a strong parliamen tary majority under a new vot ing system. The trouble is that French people generally do not like "strong men" leaders. They see the threat of the rise of Fascism in France, and a dictatorship. Further, De Gaulle is handi capped" by his cold personality and his inflexibility. He lacks the gift of being able to harmon ize political rivalries and to compromise when necessary. But the present situation persists in France, the more talk there will be of the need of a "strong man" De Gaulle or somebody else. Prospect Adds $372 To Alorcfi of Dimes Fund An additional $372 has been turned into the Jackson county March of Dimes campaign fund from Prospect, Aubrey Loper, county campaign treasurer, said today. Loper said" $122 of the amount came from a dance and $250 from a timber sale spon- sored by the Prospect Lions club. The amount brings the Pros pect contribution to the polio fund campaign to $677.83, Loper said. Parties ing the 1960 census, when Cali fornia is slated to gain another eight seats. Other Differences CQ's study pointed , up other sharp differences between these two groups of districts. For ex ample, the proportion of Ne groes was twice as large in the six Democratic districts as in the 12 Republican districts 7.8 per cent against 3.6 per cent, Blue-collar workers outnumber ed white-collar workers in the former, in the proportion of 57.3 to 40.6, while the ratio was: re versed 41.7 to 55.9 in the Republican districts. By contrast, only insignificant differences were noted between the seven GOP-held non-metro politan districts (average popu lation 349,000) and the five Democratic - held non - city dis tricts (average population 363,- 000). Thus the greatest political consequences of population shifts are most likely to make themselves felt in the highly ur ban areas of California. The problems of Democrats are not confined to California. In a total 1954 vote of about 7,000,000 in the. 11 western states, Republican Congression al candidates polled only 50,000 more votes than Democrats, yet ended up with 37 of the 57 House seats. Votes Boosted However, 13 of the -37 win ning Republicans won by less than 55 per cent of the vote, while this was true of only four of the 20 winning Democrats, The four "marginal" Democrats all increased their share of the vote in 1954, and in two cases California's B. F. Sisk and Ore gon's Edith Green wrested seats from the Republicans. But five of. the 13 "marginal" Repub licans also boosted their share of the 1954 vote, in one case (California's John F. Baldwin Jr.) winning a Democratic seat. Democrats and Republicans stand on even ground in the Senate. Each party holds 11 "of the 22 western seats and must defend four in 1956. Democratic seats at stake are those held by Sens. Alan Bible (Nev.), Carl Hayden (Ariz.), Warren G. Mag nusen (Wash.) and Wayne Morse (Ore.); GOP seats are those of Sens. Wallace F. Bennett (Utah), Thomas H. Kuchel (Calif.), Eu gene D. Millikin (Colo.) and Her man Welker (Idaho). All but Bennett and Bible have an nounced plans to seek re-election. Each party likewise is defend ing three governorships, but the job may be tougher for the Democrats since the three are all they have. Democratic incum bents are Ernest W. McFarland (Ariz.), Edwin C. Johnson (Colo.) and John F. Simms Jr. (N.M.). GOP governors up are J. Hugo Aronson (Mont.), J. Bracken Lee (Utah) and Arthur B. Langlie (Wash.). (Copyright 1956, Congressional Quarterly) Matter of Fact by Cairo Egypt's new leader, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Is reported to have remarked about recent Western and Soviet dealing with the Mid die East, that he had "never seen good peo ple do so badly and bad peo ple do soweU." C e r t a inly the bad peo- joseph Aisop pie, the Sov iets, have been handling their relations with Egypt and the Arab world with real brilliance. The arms deal is only part of the story. So are the extensive trade relations now being established between the Arab states and the entire Soviet bloc. The real story is something bigger than either of these de velopments, important as they both are. It is the carefully cal culated effort by the Kremlin and its agents to persuade the Arab nationalist leaders that they can have full Soviet back ing for anything they want to do, anytime they want to ask for it. A FTER the Eden-Eisenhower x- meeting in ' Washington, for example, strong though informal hints were dropped both here in Cario and in Damacus that the Arab state could count on Soviet military support if the Western powers intervened in an Arab-Israeli war on behalf of Israel. Again, before the meet ing of the United Nations Se curity Council that sent Dag Hammarskjold off on his peace making mission, the Soviet Am bassador here called on Prime Minister Nasser to ask what at titude Egypt wished the Soviet Union to take in the matter. Towards the Arab nationalists, in fact, the masters of the Krem lin are now using the phrases of an old fashioned European hotel . concierge "At your ser vice gentlemen, you have only to command and it wiU be done." There are clear signs, too, that these flattering attentions are causing some Arab nationalists to think rather longingly of any break with the West and Soviet alliance. "TJURING the last week, for f instance, Cairo rocked with the story of an editorial pub lished in the government news paper under the signature of a member of the revolutionary of ficers council and Minister of State, Col. Anwar el Sadat. In this effusion, the Colonel de nounced both Britain and the United States in the bitterest terms, heaped the warmest praise on the Soviet Union, and in effect suggested that Egypt should look only to the Kremlin for aid and friendship. Prime Minister Nasser was frankly appalled when he read the editorial. Col. Anwar el Sadat was ordered to publish another editorial cancelling the first.. But in this second effusion he hardly went further than to admit that after all, President Eisenhower was not a bad fel low. Altogether, it will be just as idiotic for the Washington and London policy makers to ignore the present Soviet diplomatic propaganda offensive in this area, as it was idiotic for them to ignore the many advance warnings that the Soviets were about to sell arms to Egypt. Above all it must be understood that the Soviets enjoy great ad vantages here in the Middle East. " Congressional Quiz (Copyright, 195S Congressional Quarterly) Q Congress recently passed a biU extending for another two years a program for brucellosis control. Brucellosis is: (a) an or chard blight; (b) a livestock dis ease; (c) illegal use of "wet backs" as itinerant farm labor ers; (d) a common garden pest A (b) A livestock disease which, when transmitted to hu mans, becomes undulant fever. ' Q The nub of the farm bill controversy is over price sup ports. Both sides agree on sup ports, but not on whether they should be "rigid" or "flexible." Either way, supports are com puted by relating present mar ket prices to "parity" or a fair price based on the average price over a given period of prosper ity. What period has been used for many years as a price base? (a) 1896-1905; (b)-1910-1914; (c) 1922-1927; (d) 1932-1937. (b) 1910-1914 is the old par ity base. A "modernized" parity formula based on prices over the last 10 years was introduced in 1950 as an alternative. Which ever is higher is used for deter mining price supports on the ba sic commodities. Q Which President of the U.S. appointed our first Secre tary of Agriculture: (a) Abra ham Lincoln; (b) Grover Cleve land; (c) Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The Department of Agri culture was created in 1862, but was not raised to Cabinet rank until 1889. .,.11.1." JW l .1 I ..II 4 - - Joseph AIsop IN THEIR dealings with th excitable Arab nationalists, the Soviets do not have to make the bothersome conditions that the West must make. They do not have to say "We cannot allow you to attack." They do not have to say, "Leave the oil alone, it is our lifeblood." They can sav instead. "Take the oil it has been stolen from you." And with all this, they can play the anti-colonial trumpet in a a way that sounds extremely convincing to Arab ears. The real Soviet aim. of course is to use Arab nationalism as a weaDon to cut the oil inmiinK of Western Europe. Thus Britain is to be bankrupted, NATO is to be brought down In ruin, and the Western alliance is to be crippled or destroyed. The wiser Arab leaders, conspicuous ly including Prima MinistA Nasser, are not at all averse to using the Soviets as levers to move the West, but at the same time they fully understand tha real Soviet aims., ABOVE all, Nasser and the others like him understand that a final break with the West would leave the Arab nationalist movement in naked isnla tinn with the Soviet Union. They do nox nice to admit the fact to Westerners, since this decrease their bargaining power. But Nasser and the others like him also realize that weak powers left in isolation with a giant power must inevitably fall under the giant power's domination. They know, in short, that if they do not have the West to balance their relations with the Soviet bioc, they will lose the independence they have fought so hard for. But if the Western statesmen do not find some means to come to terms with the new Arab nationalism, even those nation alist leaders who see the peril ahead will be forced further and further towards an outright pro Soviet policy. Even Prime Min ister - Nasser, strong as he is, cannot altogether resist the tide of emotion among his followers. And this is why this is a grave moment of choice for the West 1956, New York Herald Tribune Inc. Budgets Receive Tentative OK by Education Board Portland (U.R) A 1956-57 campus operating budget of $16, 774,111 and a budget for state wide services which includes the teaching hospitals and clinics, extension services and agricul-, tural research, of $7,209,861, was tentatively approved by the State Board of Higher Education at its committee session here yesterday. Shortage of funds was one of the main items of discussion. Salary Matter Critical Chancellor John R. Richards emphasized that the matter of faculty salaries is critical. Salary adjustments are limited to 3V4 per cent by the Legislature and are given on a merit basis. About 36 per cent of the teach ing staff will receive pay in creases running from $100 to $300 a year. The tentative campus budget is based on a contemplated en rollment increase of 1695 stu dents next fall. This would be 9.9 per cent over a year ago. New Positions Due Also 72 new teaching positions are to be added to staffs of state schools in line with the upward trend in enrollment. The board today accepted $246,402 in gifts and grants. In cluded was $37,003 from the Arkansas Experiment in Teach er Education, Little Rock, to finance the University of Ore gon's participation in the pro gram. U. S. Public Health Service grants totaling $93,175 will sup port research work at the uni versity medical school. FATHER CHRISTMAS? Marham.
