STRAHORN'S PROTEST
It is a sad spectacle for the people of Klamath Falls
td . see its "partner" protesting to-the Interstate Com
merce Commission against the construction of a railroad
that will accomplish what they supposed would be
gained 'when they handed Mr. R. E. Strahom $300,000
If Mr. 'Strahom stands for what he claims to represent
the development of Eastern Oregon why did he not
go before-the Interstate Commerce Commission and
offer to join with the Northern lines in the construction
. of a railroad from Bend to Klamath Falls and Lakeview.
That is what the people expected when they gave him
the $300,000. Instead, they find. their, money being used
against their interests their own guns turned upon them.
. Klamath Falls owns an interest, in the Strahom road
perhaps a controlling interest if its rights are pro
perly adjusted. As such owner it should appear before
the Interstate Commerce Commission and protest against
the action of Mr. Strahom. One of two things must
come out of it either the purpose for which the $300,
. 000 was contributed must be accomplished, or that
, $300,000, with interest, must be refunded. ' This city
will not stand for being buncoed and if the Southern
Pacific is to gain the ownership of the railroad that was
made possible by the. city's money, then that company
much pay back that money, or permit the Northern lines
to use the O. C. & E. on an equal basis.
. Mr. Strahom does not stand before the Interstate
Commerce Commission with clean hands and conse
quently should receive no recognition from that body.
. PIERCE AND VANWINKLE STAND BY PEOPLE

Stewart's Daily Letter
' By CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA Service Writer
WASHINGTON, D. C The 69th
Congress of the United States,
scheduled to convene in December,
Is : already rolling up its sleeves,
tightening its belt, and preparing to
tacklo once agnln its ever present
problem, the Income Tax.
To start with, it will consider
these facts:
The number of Income taxpayers
Is Increasing .
.'Their net Incomes on which
the tax is levied are increasing.
But due to tax rate reductions,
both the average individual tax
and the total tax collected have de
creased. , In 1923, porsonal Income , tax
returns were made by - 6,787,481
persons 6.20 per cent of the
country's population. '
' These reported a total net in
come l. 121,336,630,000 for the
preceding year, and paid a total
tax of $861,067,308.
The average not income was
$3,143.46 . and the average tax
$126.86 a rate of 4.04 per cent,
v In 1924 .returns were filed by
7,698,321 persons nearly - 7 per
cent of the population who report
ed a total not income of $26,337,
843, but who paid a total tax of
only $703,9902,165.
' The average net Income had ris
en'' to $3,421.05, but the average
tax had fallen to $91.44 a rate of
2.67.. per cent.
Compilation of 1925 figures is
not yot entirely completed, but the
.work has progressed far enough to

have succeeded. The action
and well-established policy
mat, sue ouh-iuu.
show that the trend will be the
same. There will be an increase
In the number of returns, an in
crease in net Incomes, but a d
crease due to still further reduc
tions in the taxes collected.
Treasury Department officials
estimate that more than 8,000,000
persons filed returns this year.
The total net Income reported, they
say, will probably exceed $30,000,J
000,000.
Yet on this Income they are
counting on collecting-a personal
income tax of but $670,000,000.
Tho average tax will probably
be in the neighborhood of $75. I
As to next year that's where
Congress comes in.
It has been announced that an
other Income tax reduction is to
be made.
The voters want it, Congress
wants It, and the administration
wants it making it just about
unanimous.
But the question is: What form
will the reduction take? ,
: The Democrats and Progressives
in Congress, as a whole, are in
favor of a cut In the normal tax
rate now 2 per cent on the first
$4000 of net income, 4 per cent on
the next $4000, and 6 per cent on
the 'balance.
Secretary of the Treasury Mel
lon, however, is In favor of re
ducing the surtax, that extra tax
which is now added on to tret In
comes in extens of $10,000. .
Just how far the administration
will back him In this plan Is prob
lematical. And. if the administra
tion should back him. It is doubt
ful how fur the Republicans in Con
gress will back the administration. !
Mellon'.-! plan Is fur from being
popular with the voters whose not
incomes are less than SlO.Oou
which means a big majority of the
voters.
On tho other hand, it 'is extreme
ly popular with those fortunate in
dividuals having 1 arge' incomes
and these individuals wield consid
erable influence.
When it comes to a showdown
between voters and money power,
there's no way of telling what will
happen.
The best guess is that the next
income tax cut will be' a compro
mise quite likely a cut in both
normal tax and surtax.
Again, it is possible that the
whole affair may end in a squab
ble, with no changes made in the
present law.-
In this, case, the income tax
payers. ..would. .continue paying just
what they're paying now.
