Tax Alternatives
A Mail Tribune reader called yesterday to
complain about stories dealing with the state tax

misleading, she said, because they said enough
signatures for referral had been obtained when
there really hadn't, and this tended to discour
age people irom signing pennons.
Well, she was misinformed on that count,
But in the course of the conversation she also
stated she couldn't understand why we were
aeainst the referral of the
It isn't hard to explain. It simply is that if
the tax bill is defeated, state government and fi
nance are going to suffer a damaging blow from
which they will not soon recover.
WHAT, specifically, will happen if the tax
measure is defeated ?
No one knows, exactly, at this point.
And it is this that causes us to join with Ham
let, and "makes us rather bear those ills we have
than fly to others that we know not of."
But some of the alternatives are known.
The Governor could order state expenditures
reduced by some $60 million. He is not apt to
do this on his own, tor the resulting loss in state
services would be disastrous, and he is no man
to accept such a responsibility.
MORE likely, he would call the legislature into
sossi'nn in spp what, rnuld hp. salvao-prl.
What they would do
might end up with (a) a worse law than the pro
posed one, or (b) cuts in vital state services, or
(c) a drastic increase in property taxes.
The chance that the legislature could, in a
limited session, come up with a good tax bill,
embodying reforms and revisions acceptable to
the voters something they could not accom
plish in 140 days of the regular session is re
mote.
The chance of some
aging budget cuts, plus
burden, in many cases to
ford increases, is less remote is, in fact, likely.
THE Eugene Register-Guard, whose editors are
close students of government and state fi
nance, has this to say :
"The referendum is being sold as a tax conservation
measure. It is not. It will cost far more, in the long
run, to repair the damage it would do. And always over
our heads is the threat of Increased property taxes.
"The state has levied no property tax since 1040.
But is must levy one if the income tax, the tax the re
ferral people want to reduce drastically, does not bring
In enough money to pay the bills. '
"And one of the most sensitive programs to the
cleaver Is the basic school support program. A slight
change there could save millions In income tax money,
but transfer the burden to local property taxes."
IT IS THE unquestioned
vnfat in Avorriaa hi a

referral, and as to voting on the tax.
But, in the present situation, it would be ir
responsible government to defeat the tax bill.
The people of the state need must have
the services which the state provides: educa
tion, police protection, mental hospitals, prisons,
and all the rest. If they are to have these, they
must be paid for. And, all things considered,
taxpayers get quite a bargain.
The level of state service is set by the leg
islature, subject to the veto of the voters. If they
veto the current tax program, the services will
suffer, some of them seriously. And if anyone
can say "I don't care about that," that is irresponsibility.
WE DO NOT, frankly, like the choice with
which all of us are now confronted. We do
not like the legislature's tax program. But even
less do we like the prospect of financial and gov
ernmental chaos and confusion which inevitably
will result if the state's financial resources are
sharply reduced.
The budget for this biennium is not a lavish
one, and represents about the minimum in state
services which the people have come to expect,
The tax increases arises from the fact that
surpluses from the fat and easy postwar years
have vanished, and the "moment of truth" in
state finances has arrived.
In this situation, a vote for the tax measure,
little as we may like it, is a vote for responsible
government. A vote against is a vote for me

He said:
"Small as the step is, the proposed partial ban on
nuclear testing can properly be called a major step
forward in our quest for peace. Assuming no more tests
(In the atmosphere. In outer space or under water), the
air should be clean by 1967 and the hazard of radio
active contamination averted. The nuclear arms race is
'Inhibited' but not 'prohibited.'
"Equally as important is the hope offered for fur
ther moderation of East-West tensions ... In Europe
and the Western Hemisphere. It Li not time to relax.
It is not time to disarm, and we do not disarm by this
treaty. Indeed, our readiness and arsenal will be main
tained. The U.S.S.R. is still a formidable enemy and let
no one forget It. The treaty is in Russia's best inter

But it is also In our best Interest . . . not as any iron
clad guarantee, but as a device which better assures
U.S. security than docs unlimited testing. It is Infinitely
the lesser of the dangers posed by the alternative of
no test ban treaty. The benefits are increased in di
rect proportion to the number of the nations of the
world which sign. Thus, we control and limit the pros
pect of further proliferation of nuclear capability among
those nations. It deserves, and will, 1 think, get prompt

To the Editor: SO, the latest

cialistic minded dont bother
to write for they are to busy
thinking up smears and more
smears for the ones who are
opposed being sent over the
rapids as is being done.
The Government Is "of the
people, by the people, for the
people." Our representatives
are elected to represent the
people and it only thru their
voices they are to know the
wishes of the people. We dont
elect them, then say "Now
go ahead and do as you
plesae." If so we may as well
give over to dictatorship.
The voices of the people are
being ignored more these
socialistic days, but I do know
that in the past, telegrams and
letters had great effect on our
representatives regarding cer
tain bills. I was a telegtaph
operator for several years In
a Capitol City of a State.
When certain bills came up
for vole, the telegrams came
through by the hundreds (not
counting letters) either op

Dont tell me they were all
from illiterate people. At
least their voices and views
had some effect.
Can we be too Patriotic?
The attitude today seems to
be for a "fair to middling pa

is the thing to be mildly pa
triot or mildly traitorous as
long as it is not extreme. That
sound like a foot-ball coach

If Geo. Washington were to
follow the current line he
might have told the troups at
Valley Forge," Courage men,

can but don t offend the
enemy." At the present time
we can hear," We must op
pose Communism, but be
kind to the Reds, and if they
come to our Country, give
them a warm welcome." Is
that being a Patriot or a
traitor?

Man's Ways
To the Editor: It is quite
generally understood by all
students of history that Dec.
25 was not the actual date of
the birth of the Messiah.
This is confirmed by most
all Bible dictionaries and en
cyclopedias. Many claim it is
all right to celebrate it some
times, and why not take this
date?
The reason is very simple
and plain why this date should
not be considered.
It is of heathen origin, and
was handed down to us by
the pagans, a very corrupt
holiday of feasting and prosti
tution. The Christmas tree was also
used by them, and likewise,
together with the day. be
queathed to us through the
channels of Rome.
Jeremiah said (in Jer. 10:2-
4):
"Thus saith Yahweh, learn
not the way of the Heathen,
for the customs of the people
are vain; for one cuttcth a
tree out of the forest, the
work of the hands of the
workman, with the axe. They
deck It with silver and with

gold; they fasten it with nails
and with hammers, that it
move not."
Also Easier, to honour
Semiramis, the mother, and
wife of Nimrod, (or Moon
Deity), they set aside a time
in honour of the Moon Deity.
This time was to extend
from the first full moon after
the Vernal Equinox, or the
21st of March until the first
Sunday after this full moon.
The Messiah came, the true
Passover lamb, and was kill
ed on the date when the Pass
over lambs were killed, the
14th day of the month Nisan
or Abib (Ex. 12:16, Ex. 13:4,
and Luke 22:1-7) without re
gard to the day of the week.
But Satan was again ready
to help the Christians. Sunday
keeping, which was accepted
as a Christian institution, is
another pagan rite and with
it came all its heathen cus
toms.
What an Insult and blas
phemous exchange this is.
Could humanity bring any
greater offense to Yahweh
and his dear son than to offer
him such pagan substitutions?
Sunworship, Sunday, Sunday
Law, Christmas, Easter, and
Halloween, etc., are pagan in
origin and character.
These things come to us
branded with the mark of
paganism and christened with
the name of the sun deity.

Prophecy
To the Editor: I am no
prophet, but I will take the
risk to say the test ban treaty
will be signed and ratified by
the U.S. Senate. The Prophet
Joel saw the time we are liv
ing in when "old men would
have dreams and young men
visions", etc. Men that do not
believe in God or the Bible
have been inspired of God
because of their higher in
telligence to invent the H
Bomb. That can be used for
our progress and good. Com
parable to our automobiles
that are killing people by the
thousands every year.
As far as I have been able
to learn, man will never have
the power or potential to
destroy this Earth that our
Creator has made for us so
that we could learn to choose
the good from the evil. By
the same token, man will
never have the power to
destroy our civilization that
has advanced to such a high
degree of perfection (Isaiah
11:9).
After the signing of the
test ban treaty, the trend of
the nations will be the fulfill
ment of the prediction, that is
in process of fulfillment now
in our day, by the apostle
John that "Jesus loved". He
compares our modern army
tanks, that can issue fire,
smoke and brimstone from
their fronts as well as rear,
to horses. He could hardly
call our army tanks by any
other name in his time. He
saw millions of these tanks
and that one third of the men
in the world would be killed.
For this prophecy more in de
tail see Rev. 9: IS to end of
chapter. Compare also Isaiah
4:1.
Outstanding among the
prophecies of the Bible is
recorded in Mat. 24:14 where
Jesus said the Gospel of his
Kingdom would be preached
in all the world for a witness
unto all nations. It would
seem that would exclude the
H bomb and Include Russia
and all her atheist satellite
nations.

THEATER PROBLEMS
When play producers have
guessed wrong, and have put
on a turkey that closes on
ialur d a y
night, they are
inordinat e 1 y
fond of blam
ing the drama
critics for
"hurting the
theater," be
cause only
one out of
each four or
fl.rrli five plays on
Broadway succeeds in becom
ing a hit.
Apparently no one has
ing the welfare of thousands
of citizens striving to live on
a yearly income of less than
$1,200. The average Social
Security benefit is about $1,
200. Originally the income tax
exemption was established at
$2,000. The same has shrunk
along with the shrinkage of
the dollar in about the same
proportion.
The exemption is presumed
to be for the cost of living.
It would be interesting to the
folks in low income brackets
to have an explanation by the
law makers as to how they
can live on the exemption of
$600.
In 1894 Congress passed an
Income tax law providing for
an exemption of $4,000 and a
modest 2 per cent on the bal
ance. The Supreme Court de
clared the same a spoiliation
of private property and threw
out that income tax law be
fore a dime was collected.
That court might declare the
present 20 to 91 per cent con
fiscation of property with due
process of law.
The 20 per cent tax increase
in the new tax package passed
by the Oregon Legislature
should be blocked by the peo
ple signing the referendum
petition and should oppose
any increase whatsoever until
it is clearly shown that an
increase is necessary.
Oregon is clobbered with
one of the stiffest income tax
programs in the nation.
Government waste and dis
regard for those paying the
bills are the main cause of un
reasonable and ruinous taxes.
The high taxes on property
and incomes resulting from
the terrific waste and unnec
essary expenses of elected of
ficials have caused the pur
chasing power of the dollar
to shrink to about 30 cents.
That shrinkage has forced
thousands of elderly folks to
depend on government hand
outs to exist. Seems rather
ironic when it is considered
that this country is presumed
to be the most wealthy in the
world. Also when more than
$100 billion of so-called for
eign aid has been given away
to countries of the four cor
ners of the earth.
It would be naive indeed
for the people to expect econ
omy in government, local, fed
eral or state, nevertheless that
is one of the most potent cures
for the tax ills of the nation.

Grants Pass, Ore.
A
tory talks could be the es
tablishment of inspectors in
countries of both East and
West to guard against sur
prise attack.
And again they complain
that they have not had an ade
quate fill-in.
Despite U. S. assurances
that no agreement on an in
spector system would be
reached without full approval
of the NATO partners-which
means both West German and
France - the Germans have
asked that the subjects of
safeguards against surprise
attack be taken up by the
NATO council "at a very
early date."
The Germans are said to
fear that in its early stages
an inspector system might in
volve only the two Germanies,
tending to isolate West Ger
many from the Western alli
ance. While these fears might be
dismissed as a case of Ger
man jitters, it is also true
that they lie at the core of
what has been West German
policy since the inception of
the West German Federal Re
public in 1949.
Chancellor Konrad Aden
auer fought for and won West
Germany's right to enter
NATO as a full and equal
partner. He has been equally
adamant in opposing any act
which might imply recogni
tion of East Germany.
The so-called "hot line" be
tween Washington and Mos
cow and proposals for agree
ment on a system of inspect
ing both are directed toward
easing world tensions and as
such are welcomed by the
Western Allies. But equally,
they don't want the two big
powers carving up the world
to suit themselves.
J. Hams
ever pointed out to them that
this is a high percentage of
success in the arts. Thousands
of books are pnblished each
year, but only a handful make
the best-seller lists. A book
publisher is fortunate if one
volume out of 50 makes a
great deal of money.
And yet, consider how much
easier it is for a book to be a
success than for a play. Only
one person, the author, is
fundamentally responsible for
it. If it is well written and
grasps the imagination of the
public, it can sell hundreds of
thousands of copies.
With a play, a d o s n
things that can go wrong
have little to do with the
playwright's own contribu
tion. Tha writing may orig
inally have boon good, but
was cut and patched during
rehearsals. The director
may botch his job. The ac
tors may be miscast. The
advance publicity may be
inadequate or inept. Tht
relatively narrow audience
that comprises tht avtragt
Broadway first night may
not be hospitable to the
themt or tht treatment.
Tht obstacles that a play
needs to overcome art tre
mendous and varitd. It is
a huge collective effort -especially,
as is tht trend
today, if it is a musical in
volving choruttt, danctrs,
orchestrations, and elabo
rate scenic tfftcts, with an
investment often approach
ing a half-million dollars.
Ont success out of four
or fivt stems incrtdiby high
to mt, considtring tht in
numerable possibilitits of
failurt. And whtn thircV
rata musicals, likt a dostn
I could mention, can run
for a s t a s o n or more on
Broadway, it bespeaks an
immense toleranct on tht
part of tht audience - a
toltranct that is not extend
ed to mtdiocrt novels or
poems or essays.
...
The public's almost pathetic
desire to be entertained, to get
out of itself for an evening
and escape the anxieties of the
day, offers the play producer
a huge advantage over the
book publisher; for many peo
ple look upon reading as a
chore and the theater as a
lark.
We could count on the fin
gers of Mordecai Brown the
number of truly good plays
that have failed because of
critical attacks; when plays
fail it is because, as Bernard
Shaw observed, "the public
would rather pay to see a
naked body than a naked
mind on the stage."
Actors themselves are often
contemptuous of the plays
they appear in; they need em
ployment, but they do not de
ceive themselves about the
quality of the productions
they lend their talent to. In
deed, the real theatrical
tragedy of our time is the
super-abundance of actors and
actresses with genuine gifts
who are forced to waste their
talents on plays they privately
despise, before audiences who
have little notion of the shod
dy goods that are being sold
them.

In the Day's News
y FRANK JENKINS
The big story these days?
It's the debate before the
U. S. Senate-which must rat
ify or REJECT the treaty lim
iting the testing of nuclear
weapons to UNDERGROUND
tests. The treaty has been
signed by both the U.S. and
the Soviet Union, but before
it can become binding it must
be ratified by the U.S. Sen
ate. DR. EDWARD TELLER was
week's most spectacular
figure.
He opposes the treaty. He
says he believes Russia is
ahead of us in perfecting a
MISSILE KILLER and wants
to stop NOW, before we have
time to develop a defense
against missiles-which would
require TESTING. That, he
says, is why Soviet Premier
Khrushchev wants this coun
try to agree to halt all but
underground explosions.
WHY is a missile killer im
portant? Well, if we can learn how
to STOP MISSILES before
they can get to us we can
avoid nuclear destruction.
THE other side of the argu
ment was presented by Dr.
Harold Brown, the Pentagon's
research chief.
Dr. Brown says:
The limited nuclear test
ban treaty will actually IM
PROVE, rather than damage,
the military position of the
United States.
He adds:
Even if the Soviet Union
CHEATED on the treaty, to
the maximum extent possible,
with secret tests, they could
not obtain any substantial
military gain comparable with
UNRESTRICTED nuclear
testing.
TIE concluded:
"This treaty before the
Senate (for ratification or re
jection) will IF FULLY OB
SERVED actually improve
somewhat the position of the
U. S., as compared with a
situation where both sides are
not bound by a treaty to re
frain from tests everywhere
except underground."
fN THE military side in the
Great Debate that now is
going on before the Senate
in Washington, General Cur
tis LeMay, air force chief of
staff, endorses the treaty
("reluctantly," the reporters
say) and General Thomas S.
Power, chief of the Strategic
Air Command, opposes it as
"not in the best interests of
the U. S."
General Bernard Shriever,
head of the Air Force Systems
Command, tells a closed ses
sion of the Senate prepared
ness subcommittee that he
feels that he can "carry out
his mission BETTER without
the treaty."
WHAT of us little people?
Well, we listen. We shake
our heads in perplexity and
hope for the best. It's a high
ly technical subject, and we
don't know the answers.
A word of advice:
Let's listen-carefully. Let's
appraise-to the best of our
ability. Let's not get carried
away-on either side. Let's
use our heads. This may be

BOY AMERICAN!
(Theme: "The Stars and
Stripes Forever.")
Faster than the speed of
sound, stronger than tha
Chase National Bank, able to
bound over tall issues in a
single leap . . . GARY BOLD
WATER, BOY AMERICAN!
Who will save us from tha

us from the Keynsians? Who

GARY BOLDWATER, BOY
AMERICAN!
So c'mon, kids, let's join
Gary today for "The Thrill
ing Adventure of the Phony
Treaty." There he is in his dis
guise as a stuffy old Senator
with his stuffy old horn-rimmed
glasses and stuffy old
double - breasted suit. That's
his pretty secretary, Lotus
Lane (who doesn't know who
he really is either), handing
him a document.
Lotus: Here's a copy of that
nuclear test ban treaty, Sen
ator Boldwater. Shall I read
it to you?
Gary (who always pretends
he can't ' read): Well, now,
Miss Lane, I don't see much
sense in that. The way I hear,
it's just another simple old
treaty. Nothing to get het up
about.
Lotus (vexed): But, Senator.
Look it's written in two
languages!
Gary: Now. now, Miss
Lane. Heaps of things are
written in two languages.
Like . , . Well, like heaps of
things.
Lotus (angrily): Oh, Sena-,
tor, you're just like so many.
Americans. You're sweet, but
you're so naive! '
(She stomps out and Gary
whips off his glasses and suit
to reveal the uniform of a.'
General in the U. S. Air Force
Reserve! The uniform of . . -GARY
BOLDWATER, BOY;
AMERICAN! Leaping in the
cockpit of his very own jet -plane,
he zooms into the sky
and circles over the Washing-
ton monument.)
Gary (musing as he flies in'
circles): There! Now I am '
able to think more clearly
with my 100 I. Q. brain. Could '
Lotus be correct? Wait! I .":
shall scan this document with-,
my 20-20 vision. "The gov-.,
ernments of . . . " Hmmm.i
" . . . discontinuance of all"
test explosions . . ." Hmmm. -"In
witness whereof the un-J
dersigned ..." Leaping liz-;
ards! Lotus was right! Our;
Nation is in peril! Oh, that I ;
shall but be in time to save,
the day! ;
(We shift to the Capitol;
where our beaming Senators
are about to ratify the treaty.!
Suddenly, through the sky-:
light, crashes a parachutist.'
Could it be? Yes. it is! GARY
BOLDWATER, BOY AMERI-T
CAN!)
Gary: Gentlemen, before 1
voting you should know that;
one of the signatures on this
pace is that of an "Andrei"
Gromyko," who is a proven.'
card-carrying member of the
Communist party!
(There are shocked cries of'
"Oh, no!" and "Egad, sir, he's:
right!" The treaty is torn up.;
The Senators give Gary a Big:
Six before he can modestly:
slip away. Later, once again
in disguise, Gary greets a.
breathless Lotus Lane in his:
office.) .
Lotus (glowingly): Oh, Sen
ator, I wish you'd been thera '
to see him. If only you could'
be more like that.
Gary (winking at the cam-!
era): Well, Lotus. I guess wa'
can't all be GARY BOLD-'
WATER, BOY AMERICAN!"
(turning serious) But it sura'
would be a great country if
we could.
