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

By RvulMallon
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 Th
" rrr j .w j.
mi .ouicr proicsseaiy
liberal elements, are crying out
that the new tax bill "soaks the
poor," meaning the union war
worker. 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.
The senate committee hearings

have shown that point was not
only reached hut passed in the
house bill in many corporate in
stances. 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-
