Oregon State's Triumph
THURSDAY was a great day for Oregon State and tha
lj State of Oregon in the world of sports,
i Oregon State's fine football team, underdog in the
estimation of most of the analysts, rating experts, col
umnists, commentators, etc., triumphed over Duke in the
first Rose Bowl game for any Oregon State team. Oregon
Skaters brought honor and credit to Oregon in a way that
must please every Oregoman.
The outcome of the "exiled" Rose Bowl game must
h$ve been particularly baffling to those experts who be
gan, witn tne uregon state victory over Stanford, to be
little the Oregon State team and to explain away its
triumphs, in that case, these gentlemen talked for hours
about the ram, magnifying a good drizzle to a torrential
downpour rivaling Klamath's flash flood of last August.
It? should now be pretty definitely understood that the
Oregon State victory over Stanford was not an accident
or the weather.
f What surprised this column at that time was that

ing on the obvious significance of the Oregon State vic

plons of 1941, tiresomely devoted gobs of type and space
t the conclusion that "T formation football is not wet
country football."
J But Oregon State proved in that victory, and it proved

Tax Collection Record
VARIOUS reasons may be assigned to the heavy pay
ment of delinquent taxes in Klamath county in 1941
payments which boosted the total collections to 116 per
, ctnt of the current rolls and over the $2,000,000 mark
f jr the first year in the county's history.
Foreclosure action no doubt had much to do with it.
Some sizeable taxes were paid on delinquent properties
t$ prevent their being foreclosed upon by the county. This
ia a factor that is present in most years, but as foreclosure
cpvers more recent years, it increases its effect on tax
payments.
' The past year was a large gross-income period for
many property noiaers, affording an opportunity for them
to eaten up on sucn delinquent obligations as unpaid taxes,
i, The tax payments no doubt reflect a general tendency
aTiong-i,ne people to clear their financial decks in antici

at least vague forebodings that it was the last year be

Time magazine had an out

Not many government offl.
cials therefore fear the ghost of
socialism. The best of them do
not see why this democratic gov
ernment should not give back to
business the plants it is financ
ing. They see no orosDect that
the government will have to fi
nance a retooling return to con
sumers goods after the war. Cer
tainly the delayed demand for
autos, refrigerators, etc., will be
so large that business should rea
sonably expect to raise from the
public, funds with which to fi
nance that return, without dig
ging into the government purse
again. They do not intend to
let taxes go to the heights of
confiscation (although they ad
mit Henry Ford's heirs, for one,
will have a problem meeting his
inheritance taxes,) or profits lim
itations go to thetooint of extinc
tion.
What the government econo
mists see for the post-war future
is a period of full production and
employment under a prosperous
highly taxed capitalistic system,
with, the government selling
DacK to business its wartime in
vestments in manufacturing.
They have learned from defense
experience that government can
not operate business.
But perhaps it would clear
away a lot of clouds if the gov
ernment said so, right now.

PENSION SCHEME
The economists here also see
another thing which is not so
good. They are pushing forward
a great expansion of the social
security program. They conjure
visions of every man retiring at
60 or 65 with a livable comfort
able pension from the govern
ment In the post-war future.
Through that pension, pent-up
demand for consumers goods and
a large public works program
(being worked up by Vice Pres
ident Wallace's committee) they
expect to maintain full produc
tion and stave off depressions.
mis pensions idea looks like
a rose to them, but it smells
something vaguely like a Town
send plan, the fishy scheme
which made them shudder a few
months back.
