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.

There Is No Screen Program Today Dae to The Continuous Shows Tomorrow and Sundayl if Jf 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. now FAVORED sCommumry Concert Program This Evening!s "SaB FN VMUIM Htl 4H1 i Starts TOMORROW AT NOON!

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.
