HNSTOH Soon To Be at the Medford Shopping Center Still at 112 South Riverside Q JO STORES TO GET THE ECONOMY MOVING While there is wide agree ment that a tax cut is needed, there is an important differ ence of opin ion on when it should be put into ef fect. The Ad ministration 's position is that a tax cut should be vot ed in the next session of Lippmann Congress, if possible early in 1963. If this is done, the ef fects of the cut will not at best be felt until some ten months from now. There are others who think that it is Imprudent to wait so long, that what the economy needs is the stimulation of ad ditional demand in the near future. This could be had by action in this session of Con gress to cut by a few percent age points the withholding from payrolls for taxes, as well as the instalment pay ments in September and Jan uary for incomes and corpo rations. Eighty per cent of personal income tax is paid in the form of withheld wages and sala- ries. The economic effect of an income tax cut on income and spending would be felt by the beginning of the month after it was enacted. npHE argument for waiting until next year rests on the idea that if taxes are cut before the tax structure is reformed (as proposed by the Administration), Congress is likely to lose interest in tax reform. The Administration's current view is that for the i long run lax reiorm is very important and that it should not be sidetracked by the popularity of a tax cut. On the contraryt the unpopular features of tax reform should be made more palatable by the tax cut. This may be a correct esti mate of Congressional psy chology. The question is whether the prospects of the economy today do not require a decision to stimulate and prolong the recovery and avert a recession. Tax reform may be more difficult if the recovery is promoted and sustained by a tax cut. But everything vill be more difficult if the re covery is aborted before it has been achieved. rpHERE is ground for think 1 ing that the underlying trend is not towards a full recovery. I myself believe that this is the determining cause of the bear market in stocks which has heen in existence since December. It is true that consumer buying is good, in eluding automobiles and houses, but against this we find that inventories are be ing kept extremely low; that while hours of work have been steady, unemployment remains high. Most disturbing and most significant is the fact that plans to purchase plants and equipmcnt-which is the back bone of full employment and a high rate of growth-are disappointingly small. Early in January the Ad ministration was hoping for a rise of 14 per cent above the ! 1961 capital investment level. I Today, the figures for May ( show that current business . plans indicate a rise of only j about 8 per cent, which is no more than it was back in February. If this continues, the chances are that the Ken nedy recovery, like the Eisen ; hower recovery of 1960, will grind to a halt, i . . . I TT is no explanation of the situation to say that busi nessmen do not like Kennedy and the Democrats and are therefore afraid to invest. They did not like Truman in 1950 but they did invest. They liked and trusted Eisenhower in 1960 but they did not do anything to save the I960 Ei senhower recovery from being aborted. The truth Is that the great movements of tile busi ness cycle are not caused by incidents, personalities, or political parties, but by con tinental and global tides of supply and demand. It is no accident that the Kennedy recovery of 1962 has become throttled down as the true budget of income and product accounts has been coming into balance. The truth is that the American economy, far from being in flationary, is in fact being pressed down by strong de flationary pressure. Many do not see this because they are confused by the administra tive budget which does not tell the true story. In that budget there is a deficit. But in the really significant bud get - the income accounts -there Is a premature balance achieved before recovery has been completed. In an econo my with large unemployment and low utilization of plant capacity this balance of the income accounts is deflation ary. The reason why a tax cut is desirable Is that it will relieve the deflationary pres sure. TT is to the problem of our A throttled recovery that the Administration ought, I think to address itself primarily. I A 5 do not say that tax reform is i GOOD TO LAST GROUND not important and desirable. But recovery is more im portant and recovery should not be jeopardized by the leg islative prospects for tax re form. As foor the reforms them selves, I must confess at once that I do not understand the proposals well enough yet to write about them at all. I feel reasonably certain, how ever, that the controversial items which are holding up the 1962 tax reform bill are not big enough to be of such crucial importance that they must have first priority. The President's first prior ity is to get the economy moving. Pacific, Mo. - (UP! - Coffees isn't wasted at the C. E. Strau man home.

LITWILLER FUNERAL HOME Highway 66 at Normal Ave. Ashland Dial 482-2816 C. M. Lltwiller aiMassk.aaelBiJ Mrs. Lltwiller Ashland's Leading Funeral Director Since 1935 Englishman Finds Americans Much Like Other People Ashland Americans are pretty much the same as peo ple in the other parts of world, a visitor from Britain has concluded after nine months in the United Slates. William Royston of the Uni versity of Bristol, England, in the United States on a Rotary fellowship, told of his impres sions of America and its peo ple in a talk Tuesday for the Ashland Chamber of Commerce. Royston is In Ashland as a member of the Oregon Shake spearean Festival acting com pany for the current season, He has spent the year at the University of Georgia under a program sponsored by the Rotary clubs of Georgia which brings close to 50 students a year over from other coun tries. What He Expected Before he came to the Unit ed States, Royston said he imagined this country to be place characterized by big cars, big highways, big hotels and rich residents, preoccu pied with materialism. When he first arrived, he felt his idea of what the coun try would be like had been somewhat confirmed. But after getting to know the peo ple better, Royston said, he came to the conclusion that Americans were pretty much like people everywhere. It was a comforting realiz ation," the visitor added. Royston had words of praise for the Oregon landscape, calling it the most beautiful part of the country he had seen and more like the land scape of Britain than any other part of the United States. Royston engaged In numer ous drama activities at me University of Bristol and the University of Georgia. He called it "quite a challenge" to learn in a short while the four "fairly sizeable" parts he will play during the Shakespearean Festival this year.

Shell dealers suggest 15 ways to make your car last longer Shell scientists dedicate their working lives to the care and feeding of automobiles. They can offer dozens of tips on prolonging the life of what is probably your second biggest invest ment. Here are some useful samples: 1. Learn to read (ail pipe smoke signals. Blue smoke means too much oil is getting into the combustion chambers. Your piston rings may be worn. Black smoke is an indication of too much gasoline in the air-fuel mixture. Your carburetor may need an adjustment. Wliiie smoke is mostly water vapor. Don't worry about it. 2. Check wheel alignment at least twice a year. An out-of-line wheel can increase tire wear as much as 50 percent. Also, keep your wheels balanced. An unbal anced wheel pounds the tire against the pavement, wearing the tread unevenly. 3. Rotate tires every 6,000 miles. Be sure to include your spare. This helps tires wear evenly, last longer. Your Shell dealer can take care of this for you. 4. Avoid high speeds and save your tires. High speeds increase tire wear drastically by as much as 80 over normal wear. 5. Use your engine to save your brake linings. Try to avoid hard, sudden brak ing. When you sec you'll have to slow down, take your foot off the accelerator early and let the engine's compression do some of the job. 6. Warm up slowly. Racing an engine to warm it up ages it fast. A short warm-up at moderate speed is good for your car even in summer. But never race your cold engine to warm up. It may damage criti cal working parts before lubrication can be fully established. 7. Have your engine's spark timing set to proper specifications. Spark timing determines whether your plugs fire at the right instant. With incorrect timing, you can lose power and mileage. Also, your car may knock. And chronic knocking can damage your engine. 8. Use a gasoline that controls knock. If your engine persists in knocking, you may need a gasoline with more anti-knock components, for a higher octane rating. Super Shell contains all of the anti knock ingredients required to help your car deliver knock-free performance. 9. Have your oil checked whenever you fill up with gasoline. Oil docs not wear out. But it can be lost through leaks or burning. And it does get dirty. Worse yet, oil can become contaminated by combus tion by-products including acid. Suggestion: use new Shell X-lOO Pre mium Motor Oil. It fights engine acid and four other troubles that can shorten engine life. 10. Change your oil filter clement regu larly. The filter is designed to catch and hold foreign particles so they can't get into your engine. Replacing the filter ele ment at regular intervals helps your en gine last longer. 11. Have your car's cooling system checked in spring and fall. Cooling sys tem rust inhibitors can wear out. Rust, corrosion and sediment may then start to form. In'the spring, let your Shell deffer inspect your entire cooling system. When he drains and refills, he'll add a special Cooling System Protector. In the fall, you get a free cooling sys tem inspection when you have Shellzone anti-freeze put in by your Shell dealer. 12. Get a lubrication job regularly. Dirt and moisture can work into chassis joints and bushings, causing friction and wear. Grease can also eventually pound out, leaving the parts unprotected. Shcllubrication at regular intervals helps protect those vital parts. 13. Keep door and body panel drain 1 holes clear to foil rust. There are little drain holes at the bottom of body panels and doors. They can get clogged so that the panels actually hold water. Result: Rust forms more easily, can eat through the metal. Make sure drain holes are clear. 14. "Bandage" minor scratches in your car's finish. Until you can have the scratches refinished, keep rust from form ing with a coat of touch-up paint or a strip of cellulose tape. 15. Let your Shell dealer help your car last longer. Your car may have cost you thousands of dollars. Treat it carefully. Feed it well. Let your Shell dealer help you on both counts. You will sav money and increase your driving pleasure, too. (shell)
