I wonder what would hapj>en if every state in the union was given an ofiportunity right now to vote on foreign aid expendi ture, or If they would like to have Federal Income taxes cut. I will bet almost anything that there would be a landslide ugainst this huge expenditure <>f <iur hard-earned dollars. Maybe this election in Oregon will bring the Washington spenders to some realization that there is close to a rebellion on taxation going on right now Hie legislature will certainly be under the gun whrn they meet In Salem. Hie public will not stand for any hanky ¡mnk> this time They want them to get In there and get to work, and not apend any more than two weeks on the job Moat |«>lls show the people would favor a cigarrt tax. and there is much support for a sales tax. providing It Is used to relieve income and property taxes, or is used for the schools. One thing a lot of people be lieve Is that a sales tax would at least broaden the tax base, and pick up a lot ot revenue from out-of-state visitors Noone really likes a sales tax. but sometimes It is the leaser of the multiple evils ot taxes. 1 believe the biggest mandate given by the (inofilr at the elec tion was that they would like to see expenditures cut. Hvy would like to see general wel fare cut drastically. Hits does not mean taking fund* away from senior citizens, nor those who are in dire need But, by the same token, taxpayers arc fed up with making relief a way of life.

Maybe that would be a good rule for the state spenders to follow. Hie next time you hear about the state, or a county, or a city getting a federal "grant" here Is something for you to remember The government cannot give you anything without first taking it away from you And here Is something else to think about. We read over the weekend where during the fiscal year ot 1963. $557,217,291.00 was siph oned out of Oregon in Personal Federal Income, Gift nnd In heritance taxes. This was nearly three times as much as the pro posed State Budget Only nliout 10% came hack to the stnte in vnriexis grants. How long will It take us to wake up to the fact that Government in business is «siting us too much for what we’re getting out of It.
