MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON MONDAY. JANUARY 7. 1963 A 3 In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Something to remember: Beginning today be sure, to put an extra penny on your letters. rPHIS modern world note on ailing Telstar and what cured it: Engineers of the Bell Tele phone Laboratories diagnosed the trouble, blamed it on radi ation and found a way to re store the satellite whirling around the earth . goodness knows how many thousands of miles out there in space to normal health. Here's how it was done: The engineers determined that one transistor in its com mand decoder was running an electrical fever and so, feeling out of sorts as people do from time to time, Telstar refused to act on command. The remedy? It was quite simple. The en gineers devised a trick code which cut otf the electrical fever, not unlike a couple of aspirins when taken by hu man beings who for one rea son or another are feeling all upset. When Telstar got rid of the fever, il went back to work even as you and I. A"' THOUGHT: The lime may come when, feeling lousy, you'll merely phone your doctor, describe your symptoms, and he'll push a few buttons and set you up in business again. It's getlin2 to be quite a world, isn't it? FROM Salem the other day: Steps to reduce the num ber of Oregon counties have been proposed by the legisla tive committee on local gov ernment. The committee call ed for creation of a special commission to study county CONSOLIDATION. It said present studies indicate thai great economices may be achived by consolidation into a lesser number of counties. AH ME! How limes do change! There was a time within the memory of many of Oregon's citizens who are still able to get around without a cane when COUNTY DIVISION was a big issue in Oregon. The argument was that tax payers shouldn't have to go so far and waste so much time getting to the county seat to transact their necessary busi ness at the court house. A ND- At that time It was a logical argument. Considering the prevailing modes of transportation, it aid take a lot of time in many of Oregon's larger counties for remote citizens to get to the county seat. There were a few atltnmnhilps. tn be sure. But the prevaling roads were any- ining out gooa. wnen a ie mote taxpayer came to town in his tin Lizzie, he could never be certain that a rain wouldn't come up and maKe the roads impassable. SO THE proposals to make little counties out o the big counties seemed quite rea sonable, and county division projects were numerous. They were perhaps somewhat more numerous because of the desire on the part of many of the smaller towns to be come bigger towns by getting to be county seats. The exisiting county seats, of course, reasoned that coun ty division might result in making them smaller towns. At any rate, the county di vision movement of several decades ago resulted quite a lot of blood on the moon in Oregon. ' NOW, with good roads and fast cars, we're moving in the other direction. In the be ginning, there was just ONE Oregon county east of the Cas cades mighty Wasco. In this area, there are now 18 coun ties. And Because of better roads and faster cars it would now ac tually be feasible even though it wouldn't bo popu lar to go back again to one big county in all of Oregon east of the mountains. It is indeed true that times and manners change. m 9 fan " 1 k. L PUD 3 5 iWsrv- 4' V 1 J r J MEDFORD PUBLIC SCHOOLS ADULT EDUCATION CLASSES Winter term begins the week of January 21.

Three winners of an exam ination on labor and indus trial problems to be conducted in the schools on April 3 will receive cash awards of $600 each, and three other $200 each. "The union organization has been providing the awards for 16 years." Miss Waning said, "and over that period more than ftn students from high schools in 22 cities throughout j the state have been assisted financially to begin their col lege educations." Determination of the schol arship winners is made upon the basis of ranking in the ex amination and general schol astic achievement. The tests are graded by "a competent person" who is not connected with the labor movement, she said. Your Money's Worth By SYLVIA PORTER Copyright, Hall Syndicate, Inc. By SYLVIA PORTEH 'COMPROMISE' IS KEY TO 1963 TAX CUTS In 1962 we asked ourselves one vitally right question about the U.S. economy: Is the oppressive income tax structure we created at a time of global war a key reason business has failed to grow fast enough in recent years to take up the slack in production and employment? In 1962, the answer "yes!" emerged with remarkable unanimity among fiscal "conservatives" and "liberals. Republicans and Dem ocrats, businessmen and labor leaders. As a result of asking ourselves that right question and coming to that answer in 1962 the odds are the brightest in years that in 1963 Congress will overhaul our restrictive tax system, reduce tax rates across-the-board for both in dividuals and corporations. Congress is about to convene. After the usual formali ties, it will hear the President's message, get to work. Over shadowing all other domestic legislation will be the call' for tax reduction-reform. It is already abundantly obvious that there will be major disagreements in Congress on the tax overhaul its form, timing, size, impact on consumer and business spending patterns. It is obvious too that getting lax deductions through this Congress will be no cinch in view of the iacts that the new budqet will be billions in the red for the third year in a row, the national debt is climbing to an all time high and just the interest paid on this debt is now taking more than $10 billion of our tax money each year. Let's, therefore, put a few basic points in perspective. (1) Just about every informed, objective observer rec ognizes the danger to our nation of budget deficits on top of budget decficits. Years of red ink in a nation's budget can undermine Its credit and the buying power of its cur rency just as years of red ink in a family's budget can undermine its credit and buying power. When Senator Byrd, the Virginia Democrat who heads the powerful Senate Fi nance committee, warns of the perils of budget deficits, no one scoffs. The perils exist. (2) Just about every informed, objective observer now agrees that our high income tax rates are a drag on our economy, that they blunt recoveries, encourage recessions, weaken incentives. The agreement on this is truly extraordinary. (3) Just about every informed, objective observer real izes it is politically unrealistic to expect that federal spend ing will be cut as much as taxes are reduced which is Byrd's demand. The President has said it plainly. Non- de fense spending will be held near current levels but spend ing for defense, space and debt interest is going up. Re gardless of how much you sympathize with Byrd's view, this is fact. (4) Just about every informed, objective observer ad mits that if our economy continues moving as sluggishly as it has been for years, it will not produce enough taxes to cover government spending. We will pile new deficit on new deficit, our national debt will soar, our interest bur den will rise even more, our unemployment rate will stay stickily high, our demands for goods will not be big enough to spur industry into hiking its spending for essential modernization-expansion programs. (5) Just about every informed, objective observer em phasizes that the one stimulant we haven't tried which has done the job in Europe and could do it here is signifi cant tax reduction to expand consumer and business spend ing and give businessmen the incentives to go into ventures that will create jobs, paychecks, profits. Where do these five points lead? They lead to com promise. The President already is compromising in public and private. No longer is he aiming at Jan. 1. 1963. as the effective date for the reductions. He has pledged major efforts io control spending and to finance the budget deficit out of our savings the least inflation ary way the government can borrow. He will submit tax-raising reforms along with his tax reduction pro posals. Surely. Congress in turn will compromise, for let this be clear. If Congress insists on a balanced budget before voting tax reduction, it will be Insisting on the impossible and this will be equivalent to saddling us with our obsolete, punitive tax structure indefinitely.
