KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON OREGON SALES TAX PROGRAM GRANGE TOPIC The aUto alo tax wag vari ously described a a sincere and last-resort method ot helping the 1 L, rt DAhnnlR Atlfl . 81 R . Uflltl'ut w , . vicious atteiniit ot Wall Street and the "big Interests" to shift their burdens upon the farmer and the poor, in an Informal de bate bofore approximately 200 people at Henley Saturday night. A. E. Brockaway, master of the Jacksonville grange r.nd mombor of the legislature from Jackson county, spoke In behalf ot the sales tax measure, which probably will be before the ot era In the May primaries. Mor ton Thompkins, former Yamhill legislator, and now a grange worker, made the speech oppos ing the tax. Tax Described Brackaway explained the sales tax law and Its purposes. He described the situation in the special session of the legislature, who nthe legislators came reiuqr tantlly to the sales tax after ex ploring every ether source of revenue to rescue the schools from financial distress. He show ed how the estate and income , tax proposals before the legis lature were inadequate to meet the need of the schools. Income tax possibilities have been ma terially reduced by the) depres sion, h said, and boosting such a levy to extreme heights will tend to drive wealth and indus try out ot the state, while broad onlnt? it' to include even the small incomes v ould undoubtedly lead to defeat at the polls. Thousands of families not pay ing taxes, including residents, tourists and federal employes, will be caught in the sales tax, said Brockaway. The levy is designed to yield $4,000,000, or ' one-eigth of the school expenses ot the state. The grange, he said, favors a broader base of hrillni, OTlrt thnt In What WOUld be accomplished by the sales ta. Thompkins attacked the sales tax vigorously, repeatedly de scribing a hand reaching into the dinner bucket of the school child. Thompkins quoted Klamth county figures to show the large property tax offset which would be given the utilities and timber companies throught a 4 mill cut provided by the sales tax. He then turned to the affect on the farmer as he sees it. Out of 84 typical farms in the ' . county, he said, 24 were found to have an assessed valuation . under S1000. The sales lax would offset the property tax on a $1000 valuation by S4, while the average farmer with ' five members in his family would pay a $9 sales tax in a year, he claimed. Thompkins said that the teach ers, the grange and labor had agreed on an income tax plan for the schools before the legis lature met, but the teachers de aata tha pona TTa criticized the legislators tor passing a sales tax in spite of the adverse vote on a tax last summer, and appealed to the grangers to "stay put" in their opposition to the ' tax. . Thompkins asserted the sales V tax proponents are the same in . terests which fought the income tax tn past years. Scientist Thinks Surface of Mars Is Slowly Drying SEATTLE, Jan. 22, 0J.R "Mars will talk to us some day when and how, I don't know," . William Glfford Hale, 66, ama teur Seattle astronomer, told members of the Seattle Astro nomical society in their annual meeting here today. "They may communicate with us by wireless, or from mammoth white flags, 10-mlle-long letters, or a six-trillion-volt searchlight. Of course that is if mars Is in . hablated," asld Hale. Hale believes if mars does get in touch with the earth their first query will be for aid to their water system. He sayB mars is slowly drying up, with no oceans or lakes to pump more water from. Hale couldn't tell his listeners what he thought the mars man would look like. However, he said tbey probably would be more ' advanced in scientific accom plishments than the earth's scien tists, because their planet "cooled" faster than the earth did.
