LJL Tablets By R. E. NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent A letter from Mrs. Homer EclRcromh of Redding, Calif., ' tells of attending with her husband the dedication of the ' Whiskcylown Dam by President Kennedy. Mrs. EdRecomb ' says there were some Iti.ooo people present, but in spile of the i large crowd she had the privilege of gelling to shake hands with the president. Mrs. Edgccomb, the former Gwen Hous : ton, was formerly a resident here where she has relatives and many friends. t- . Dottie -Simmons reports thai her daughter, Miss Sharon, 1 who-was seriously injured recently in an automobile accident, is steadily improving but is still in the Sacred Heart hospital. . V We have heard our legislators called about every name except honest men, which they are. Oregon voters have always tried to get honest men to represent them in the Stale Legis ' lature and Congress, and have been very successful in both ' places. We resent this attitude of making it appear that our , representatives are crooks who lie about cost and expenses to - gain "yes" votes at the election. They are only doing their , duty when they tell where cuts will have to be made, if this ' appropriation is taken away. We understand that the referral ' election will cost the taxpayers of Jackson county between '$35,000 and $40,000. We wonder how much of this these eager , petition circulators would pay? Personally, we arc voting "yes" on this hill for more reasons lhan space will allow. The Oregon State Orange has a legislative committee that s ! attends the sessions of the Oregon Legislature. The State Mas ter is opposed to the referral election. ' Speaking of the tax hill, which is causing so much hysteria and name calling, we have heard many mis-statements made over 'the air about taxes. We heard one party say that Cali fornia has no property tax or income lax. According to people who live in California they have both, and in some places, ' four sales taxes: federal, state, county and city. They tax you on every thing you buy, including food. The rate averages , about six per cent, they say. .The main criticisms of the lax bill appear to he that it , collects a tax on income and collects a filing fee of $5. Per : sonally we believe an income lax is the fairest tax of all. If . you don't have an income alter your deductions and exemp tions are taken out, you pay no tax. We arc not afraid of an . income tax, for on the farm after you lake out labor, material, utilities, vet fees, and the many olhor expenses of operating a farm, there is very little net income left to pay a tax on. 'On the other hand, the property lax hits you just as hard, even if flood walcrs or drought have destroyed your crop, or insects ruined it. But if these things don't happen, and you . harvest a big crop, you may find other farmers had a big crop, so there is a surplus, and you may be forced to sell below cost of production. As to the filing fee, there seems to be more griping about this than there was about the poll tax of , $3, which Oregon used lo have. We see in E.A.'s editorial of Wednesday that one package of cigarettes daily costs $!II 25 in one year. You could multiply the cost by two. We used to smoke, and we, and most all . smokers we know, smoked more than two packs a day. Now ! if Grandma could skimp a little- on her cigarettes, she might save enough to pay her filing fee. We never liked the idea of buying a pig in a poke. Trying to get a new tax bill makes me ihink we are doing just ihal. '.I''- ...
