Lake, Modoc aad SHklyon CouaUei Three Month J , Logging Political Interest DESriTE general evidences of population increases, California's voter registration for this month's prim ary is well under that of two years ago. The total registra tion this year is 3,751,296, against 4,052,895 in the 1940 elections. This is a definite indication of lagging interest In poli tics. People are not registering, and they won't vote in such numbers this year as in the past, California has a pretty hot gubernatorial contest this year, and yet the citizens haven't registered up to normal in order to take part in that decision. A lot of people in Oregon do not know for sure who , is running for what major office, as inquiry at any gather ing will show. We have even heard some one remark that Ear! Sncl! has been a good secretary of state and ought to be reelected. It seems unlikely that this apathy can be dislodged . completely before the November general elections. This is not good, for political decisions this year are as import ant as ever. But regardless of the propriety of the condi tion, it is a fact that politics has been relegated to a place : of minor importance in the thoughts of the people. Charter Talk WORKERS on the proposed new city charter report that the charter they have in mind provides for the , same form of government now in operation and offers no drastic changes of any kind. It is, they say, a simplification of the present charter, which has been in force since 1913. ' - In a year when people aren't likely to give much at- tention to a charter proposal, it is probably safer to offer ' such a plan than one that calls for important changes that : should receive extensive public attention and a great deal of discussion. However, one wonders if it is worth while to offer a new charter at all if the current proposal has little in it that is new and different. Unquestionably, the people of Klamath Falls should be given an opportunity, some time in the next few years, to consider a change in the form of city government, pos sibly f the council-manager plan. This is not the year to do it, however, because the war not only has a corner on peoa's thinking but it may bring changed conditions that will alter the whole picture in a few years. If the city authorities and charter committee are bent on doing something- this year, probably a mere streamlining proposal is th thing to attempt. We could, of course, get alpng for a few years more with the old charter and then, when conditions have set tled down, go thoroughly into the question of making general changes in the form of city government. It is quite certain, at any rate, that whatever is done this year will not close the question of a new charter for another 30 years.. Good Taxation Idea A SENSIBLE move designed to put the whole public financial program in Klamath county on a coordinated basis has been started here and was reported last week by the taxation committee of the Klamath county chamber of commerce. The idea is for the various taxing bodies of the county to get together in an organization for the purpose of get ting a picture of the whole taxing situation each year. A number of these taxing groups levy taxes on the same property. Their present system is to work out the de tails of the problem involving their own unit, and then levy taxes accordingly, usually without regard to what some otner taxing body may be levying on the same pro perty. It is conceivable that in certain years, under a eo. ordinated program, one unit io permn anotner to raise its levy for some specific pur pose, thus equalizing the burden upon the taxpayer. It Should be helpful, for instance, if city authorities know exactly wnat are the county's plans for debt retirement, and vice versa, so that this program may be coordinated for the benefit of taxpayers. Improvements might well be "rationed" between taxing units to prevent the burden rrom lauing an at once upon the public. These are mere suggestions as to how nrh a . ordinated program could work a"" county, we ana nope tnat it advances beyond the stage of discussion Marriage May But What About Rillv? MULLIGAN, Ore..

This is somewhat true. Orthodox liberalism, as nro- fessionally conducted in this wwuijii mi country the past 1 twenty years. J ha; always cried out against every tax bill on the same grounds, and success fully urged that it soak the corpor ations and the rich instead. Paul Mallon With equal political astuteness, and less suc cess, business has generally cried "wolf" against tax bills, saying each of these would make bus iness unprofitable, cause a break down in our profits system. The wolf, gentlemen, now is here. The liberals do not want to see him, and the congressional taxmakers have become so be fuddled at noticing his nose in disputably confronting them, that they have been kicking the subject of needed new war rev enue around for six months or more, and now are acting as if they would like to put it all off until after elections. What has caused the delay in the new tax bill, it is now clear, is that the house ways and means committee and the senate finance committee have discovered that the ten-year-old program of in creased taxes on corporations and the rich has lifted these rates to the ceiling. There is just no more blood in those turnips, .existing taxation, without the new increases of the pending Dili, is already forcing down div idends, making even accelerated war business less profitable than normal peacetime business. If you want any proof of this. turn over to the stock market page and read price quotations and dividends now, as compared with last year, or five years ago. A new and yet unappreciated situation has thus arisen in tax ation. NOT ENOUGH Faced with the necessity of raising more war revenue now, and with maintaining colossal taxes to pay the interest on an expected debt of $200,000,000,- uuu or more after the war, the congressional taxmakers have found they must go deeper into the normal business profits in me new mil. Confiscation of excess war profits will not turnisn enough revenue. The house committee had to dare to tax more from those re duced dividends you see on the market page today. The basis of our canitallstic democracy, the one we are fight ing ior, is profits. A profits system cannot be. run success fully without them. If -this were a temporary mat ter of sliding through a war per iod without them, it might dos- sibly be done. But as the gov ernment is faced with the neces sity of continuing this same level of taxes after the war, there can be no doubt that our national future, as well as our current war-production effort, is wrap ped up in this tax question. everyone Knows there is a point at which taxation becomes nationally suicidal, and every one (liberal and business man) can agree where that point is the point at which business pro duction ceases to be profitable. SYSTEM BENDS When that point is passed, labor can get no wage increases, the opportunity for work must shrink and the system of pro duction bends and breaks.

Business men have come to the senate, with their books for the first time in tax bill history. Certain examples were recent ly shown in this column, lo which one more recent illustra tion may be added. One of the last to tsetify was the Ecusta Paper corporation, of Fisgah Forest, N. C. Its earnings statement show ed the house bill would force it to double the price of its product (cigarette paper) next year in order to break even and if the fiscal year provision of the house bill is maintained, it would have to quadruple its price to meet taxes for the final quarter. Its profits, before taxes, would be $9,943,738 for this year under the house bill, of which the state and federal governments would take all but $729,711.43, leaving an insufficient amount to meet its annual debt Interest of $1,175,000. Many of these dangerous de fects in the house bill will be eliminated by the senate com mittee. The withholding tax no doubt will be revised. Credits for debt and interest will be adopted. Some features of the Ruml plan to pay as you go (not 11 or much of it) will be written into the bill. A deferred maintenance credit will be allowed for industries like the railroads, burning up meir machines faster in war ac tivities than the depreciation al lowances recognize. Inventory adjustments may be nermitted, f osslbly even the 45 per cent normal or 90 per cent excess pro ms tax may be shaved slightly to or iu per cent.) e e SAME PROBLEM Even so, the new unrecognized problem of taxation will remain the same. The ceiling on cor poration taxes and on whatever rich are left (look around you In your home town and see how many of the rich homes of 20 years ago are now boarding houses) has been reached. The only place, then, whore the government can get more money, is from the union worker. the low salaried man, the "poor," it you will. The time therefore has come for a complete revision of poli- iicai views, from both liberals and government, on this sub ject. It Is no longer truly lib eral or progressive to advocate further expansion of the taxing methods of former years to the points of destruction. That course, while nrofcsslne to be liberal, Is really reaction- Planes on the Production Line mmmmmmmmim mm battlefrontg of tha United Natlom. iitamaih's 1 esteraay From t rha files 40 jWfl'f 090 and 10 yeer 090.,: From the Klamath Republican August 1, 1302 The changes in the interior of the courthouse are now nearly completed and are appropriate.
