In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Some interesting figures es
specially in these days when tax
reduction in the face of big op
erating DEFICITS is a big po
litical issue:
According to Tax Foundation
Inc., the man with a $6,000 in
come is about an average tax
payer. 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.

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'?"

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.

state would, in many cases, be
forced during the current year :
to borrow money through loans,
or by issuing warrants, "not
paid for want of funds," since a
major share of the budgets an-1
proved by the people have al
ready been spent or obligated.
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.
