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.
