We thought the tax business was over and with it the griping and grumbling for this year, but the arrival of prop erty tax statements from the Sheriff's office caught many flat-footed, so to say, having hardly recovered from the try ing tax repeal election. The statements were much higher, it seems, than many expected. Some probably thought they wouldn't have any taxes to pay since the "no" vote carried, and they thought it meant what it said, no taxes. It is our opinion that unless the legislators now in session pass some form of tax bill that will raise some millions of dollars, or the services of the state including schools and all other services are severely cut, we will really see some high property taxes next year. A general sales tax has been mentioned, but that has been on the ballot five or six times, but each time has been snowed under, as Orcgonians don't care for a nuisance tax of this kind. The Oregon State Grange has fought it tooth and nail each time it has come up. They claim it puts the burden of taxation on those least able to pay. Those in the lower income brackets pay a higher per cent of their income for living expenses, while those mak ing $50,000 or more have to spend only a small percentage for living expenses. Roscoe Roberts, Jackson County Grange deputy, put it this way. "I know it is a rich man's tax bill for they are all for it each time it comes up." Some would have the slate go into the gambling business, using the winnings in lieu of taxes. Well, if we are going into a shady business why not license hold-up men, and make them split their loot with the State. We note that a Rogue River woman berates us for getting E A into the brainwashing deal. What she refers to was quotes from a letter we received from a disgruntled reader of the Tablets and evidently a reader of E A's editorials. I am sorry I didn't make it plain enough that the words were not mine. The writer said we had lowered ourselves several steps on the ladder of good journalism by referring to the charge that the M.T. was a controlled press as hogwash (probably we should have used the word baloney). If one loses some thing he didn't know he had, he really Hasn't lost anything. In the last general election, E A published the names of candidates he was supporting, and why he wanted them to win. We did the same in the Tablets, and our list of candidates was not the same as his, but he let them go through as they were. He could have chopped them out. E A and we get along fine. We always have respected our superiors, even our shavetail lieutenant in the R.O.T.C. during World War I. Speaking of letters, we get many. Some we don't have time to answer, for, after all, Tablets is just one of our many activities. We and our better half are kept busy trying to keep the wolf from the door. One letter we received some time ago was the most flat tering we have received during our 50 years of scribbling, and we hope we can keep on doing the things that cause her to think we are such a good writer. Mrs. John Thomas of the Table Rock store returned from Colorado where she was called by the illness of her son. In reading O S's column, we see she has run in a little comedy picked up on the street corner while waiting for the lights to change. We are not trying to trump her's, but here is one on Kansas law. It may not be in effect now, but was a few years ago. "When two trains meet on a crossing, both shall stop, and neither shall start up until the other has gone." Thought for the day The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
