wasn't going to be enough food
to go around, Wickard replied:
; , Not Optimistic
"We are not going to have
enough to satisfy the demands
, and. It u a question of how
much" we can produce. If we
cannot produce enough, we are
going to have to tighten our
belts. We can never satisfy the
demands."
Committee members said
Wiokard was apparently taking
. Into account not only domestic
civilian and military food needs,
but the food demands of the
lend lease and foreign relief
programs.
In response to questions by
Nye,. Wickard testified that the
prospect of getting as much food
acreage planted this , spring as
last "doesn't look very good
now."
The secretary said he was
hoping that a program of get
ting school children into the
fields was going to help some
but ha was not too optimistic.

35-55 PER CENT
SLASH IN TAX
(Continued from Page One)
ference committee was appoint
ed. Members are Sens. Walker,
and Coe McKenna, Portland; and
Reps. John Hall, Portland, and
Burt K. Snyder, Lakevlew.
The committee, holding Its
first session this morning, seem
ed to like the Walker plan, but
with modifications providing
that the biggest benefit should
be given to taxpayers In the
lower brackets. The meeting
was recessed to permit the com
mittee to get figures from the
tax commission.
Here's How It Works
Here's how the idea would
work. On each July 1, the tax
commission would estimate col
lections for the following year,
and add the surplus to it. On
next July 1, the surplus would
be at least $12,000,000, while
collections next year probably
would be at least $14,000,000,
making a total of at least $26,
000,000. Then the commission would
add the $9,500,000 needed each
year to run the state govern
ment, $4,000,000 to be given an
nually to reduce property taxes
in school districts, and a $5,000,
000 reserve fund, making a
total of $18,500,000.
Compromise Proposed
The $18,500,000 would be sub
tracted from the $26,000,000,
leaving $7,500,000 to reduce in
come taxes. The Walker plan
also provided that taxes payable
next year Would be reduced by
5 per cent for each $1,000,000
or fraction available in the fund
to reduce income taxes, which
would give a reduction next
year of 35 to 55 per cent, de
pending on how big the surplus
and collection estimates are.
But Senator McKenna pro
posed a compromise, providing
that for each $2,000,000 of sur
plus, the tax rate in each bracket
would be reduced by one-half of
one per cent. If the surplus
were $8,000,000, each bracket
would be lowered by 2 per cent.
-Tax rates now range from 2
to 7 per cent of net income, but
McKenna's idea provides that,
under the estimated surplus and
collections, next year's rates
would range from nothing to 5
per cent. The effect would be
an overall 40 per cent reduction,
but persons in lower income
groups would get bigger reduc
tions than those earning larger
incomes.
Would Be Permanent
For instance, a married man
without children, who earns
$2000 a year, now pays 2 per
cent on $500, or $10. McKenna's
plan would wipe out his tax for
next year. A man paying 7 per
cent would pay 5, while other
rates would be cut from 6 to 4,
5 to 3, 4 to 2, and 3 to 1.
The plan would be permanent,
and reductions would be made
in each year that a surplus is on
hand.

WflCKARD, u. S. food boss, ad
mlts today we can't hope to
have enough food to meet all
DEMANDS Including feeding
our allies.
He thinks we'll have to pull
our belts tighter and do with
what we can get.
YOU must be following the
movement in Washington to
CUT DOWN THE ARMED
FORCES In order to provide
more labor on the farms.
Let's not do that until we
HAVE to.
If you have a boy In the South
Seas or in Africa, you don't want
him to have to fight on and on
WITHOUT RELIEF.
If he is to be relieved when
continued fighting brings him
near the exhaustion point, there
must be ample reserves of
trained fighting men. If we cut
down these reserves, we'll reduce
your boy's chances of being re
lieved ' when he is near ex
haustion. TF necessary, WE OF THE
TOWNS can take over our
FULL share of the burden of
putting out and getting ki the
crops.
. If we have to, we can close
up the towns three days a week
and get out Into the fields. We
won't be worth as much as
skilled farm labor, but we can
help.
