A worker in this salary bracket, it says, is estimated to have a federal income tax bur den of about $600. Of this $600, national security accounts for about $362. The next largest item is IN TEREST ON THE NATIONAL DEBT, which accounts for about $61. WHICH is to say: If the man who earns about $6,000 a year gets a reduc tion in his $600 a year federal income tax burden (which will result in continuing federal DEFICITS) whatever he saves by the present reduction will eventually result in additional taxes for INTEREST on the growing national debt, of which he will have to pay his share. It doesn't seem to make much sense, does it? IN CASE you earn about $6,000 a year and your federal in come tax runs about $600 a year, you may be interested in just where your federal tax dollar goes. This, Tax Foundation says, is the breakdown: National Security $362 International affairs and finance 16 Veteran services and benefits 34 Labor and Welfare 34 Agriculture and agricul tural resources 35 Natural resources 15 Commerce and housing 20 General government 13 Interest on debt 61 Miscellaneous 10 TOTAL $600 TNTERESTING question: A What, do you reckon, does President Kennedy's hard headed, financially competent father think of this proposal to cut taxes now and add the re- 1 suiting deficits to the national debt? rpHAT isn't easy to answer. A Family pride i s in volved. The Kennedys are a tightly-knitted clan. They believe in sticking together. But Old Joe didn't make his millions (or his billion) by sell ing what he had for less than it cost and adding the difference to what he owed. THE UNINVITED ALTADENA, Calif. -(UPD-The Harold J.

Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- qiHE CATHOLIC DIGEST tells about a nun aboard a bus A who forgot the name of the street where she meant to get out. She was upset momentarily, but suddenly remem bered a famous landmark just one block away. Whereupon she startled the other passengers by calling out to the driver. "Please let me off at Tracy's Tavern." An impatient lady in a Sunset Boulevard restau rant, reports Matt Wein tock, kept striking her glass with a spoon to at tract her waiter's attention. To a sensitive waiter, this is more humiliating even than finger snapping;. So, when she persisted, the waiter put down his tray, Applauded sar castically, and said, "That was fine, but can you play 'The Bells of St Mary s'?" RIDDLE DEPARTMENT : 1. Q.

Distributed by King Features Syodictt Possible Reduction In School Funds Is Being Considered SALEM - If the legislative tax bill is not sustained by the voters Oct. 15 a possible reduc tion of the appropriation for the Basic School Fund from 11 to 14 per cent or more is being considered. This is a matter of deep con cern for the people of Oregon and particularly those who, as members of local school district boards, bear the responsibility pf maintaining a program of education that meets both the requirements of quality and the demands of the local electorate, according to Eugene Fisher, state board of education chair man, Salem. Such a reduction applied to each year of the current bien nium would result in an appro priation smaller m amount than the apportionment made to school districts in 1962-63. Few er of the poorer districts would receive equalization. The num ber of pupils in districts receiv ing equalization would be 6 per cent less than in 1962-63. "Our Basic School Support program, scarcely adequate in 1962-63, would be rendered even more inadequate for this bien nium since enrollments are con tinuing to increase, expendi tures are continuing to rise, and the foundation program has in creased over 14 per cent," Fish er pointed out.

The burden of this debt would be felt in 1964-65, during which year property taxes also would carry the additional load result ing trom the need for educating more pupils, and aeain a r.. duced appropriation from the state general fund, Fisher not-! tea. I If local school district rcsi- i dents are unable or unwilling lo ! assume this added burden, he continued, the only recourse! which a school board has is to reduce the budget as best it can. tnis might take the form of reduction in salaries, elimi nation or curtailment of certain programs or services, delay of construction needed for an ex panding school population, or re duction of supplies and equip ment, Fisher noted. Achieve Equalization "Oregon has for many years sought to achieve equalization of educational ODDortunitv anrl a quality education that would! adequately serve the needs of a ; rapidly changing complex so ciety," he went on to say, "but it seems apparent that any sub-! stantial reduction in the Basic I School Fund appropriation dur ing the current biennium will tend to seriously jeopardize this j level of education for all pupils j for which the State of Oregon has a responsibility. "Furthermore, this could well be interpreted as a change in direction for supporting public education in Oregon; tor ex ample, the people by way of the ' referendum and through the ! legislature have established a policy of relieving local proper ty taxes, as well as equalizing educational opportunity through the use of state funds. Certainly, if ballot measure No. 1 docs not carry with a yes vote, we will move directly toward more property taxes for schools," i Fisher said.
