IN these day. ot astronomical federal income

taterWt to local tax figures-not even those

such as appear

3 taxation is now
part of the averago u-

I verv 1 I erty tax rates ln Klamath
I Y An I I county will be generally lower
Li ii ilfci". AJ than those for the previous
EPLET year, or those for a number of
years back. Any measure of tax relief nowa
days is of the "man bites dog" news classifi
cation. .- The real property tax reduction provided for
the coming year is mainly creditable to the
state school support law, voted by the people
at the last general election and somewhat re
vised by the legislature.
Under this law, excess funds from the state
income tax (which has been building up more
returns than the state has needed in recent
years) are distributed to the school districts on
a "pupil day" basis and serve as a property tax
offset This is the first year these funds have
been so distributed, and the resultant tax rate
reductions will be deeper and more notice
able this year than in the future.
Governmental Costs Not Cut
THE tax rate reductions announced today do
not reflect any noteworthy decrease in the
cost of local government. In these times of
higher wages, higher materials costs, etc., it is
not likely that any governmental unit is going
to effect substantial reductions in actual bud
gets. The amount to be raised by taxation in
Klamath county, for instance, is virtually the
same as last year. The county tax rate (ex
clusive of schools) is actually up two-tenths of a
mill, (19.7 as compared with 19.S last year)
due to the fact that the county's assessed valua
tion is slightly lower. This slight increase in
the county tax rate is more, than offset, in your
combined and final levy, by the decrease in
school taxes brought about by the school sup
port law.
Likewise, the tax rate for Klamath Falls city
purposes only, is higher than it was last year.
The previous rate was 30.4 mills, while that for
194344 is 82.7 mills. - But here again, the
reduction in school property taxes comes into
the picture to reduce the final combined levy
for city taxpayers from 74.1 mills to 72.4 mills.
If this is somewhat confusing, it should be
kept in mind that the final tax rate, on which
your real property tax bill is figured, is com
posed of several parts. If you live in Klamath
Falls, the combined rate includes a county tax
rate, a city tax rate, a rate for Klamath Union
high school taxes, and a rate for city elemen
tary school taxes. If you live in the country,
your final rate includes the county elementary
tax rate, the county high school tax rate, and
the county tax rate.

No Money Is "Saved"
WITHOUT implying that local officials can
be expected in these times to effect ma
terial reductions ln governmental costs, (We
think they are generally doing a good job) it
is well for the public to realize where the
. rate reductions come from. We should guard
gainst a tendency, which may develop, to
raise local governmental costs unnecessarily as
result of the real property tax relief afforded
through the school tax law.
And it should also be realized that this school
Relaxation Essential in
Days of Wartime Stress
Dr. Masters' Health Column
By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS
Tension and overwork are
growing problems in a nation at
war, and recent evidences of
political and economic unrest
may be ln part attributed to in
creased pressures from speeded
up production as well as anxiety
connected with our men at the
front. Very few extremely busy
people have learned along the
way the invaluable knack of re
laxing and loafing at the right
times.
Resting, genuinely resting, far
from implying neglect of duties,
is the necessary underside of the
fabric of human activity. The
body can stand just so much of
effort and strain and then Na
ture requires that it must rest
and repair its worn-out cells.
Resting may be partial, or whole
and recreative. Sleep takes care
of much of the wear and tear of
the day, but time must also be set
aside for doing nothing effective
ly, if the mind and the spirit,
inseparable from the body, are
to find refreshment also.
PLAY ON DAY OFF
Doing any one thing for long
.hours at a stretch is highly debi
litating. Those who must work
incessantly six days a week at
their Jobs should plan to spend
their free time in activity totally
different from that of their rou
tine. The postman who spends
his holiday on foot brings a
smile from everyone. His plight
has many parallels elsewhere.
Variety of interests Is essential

to keep the mind alert and free
of rigidity. Keeping the brain
sensitive to many impressions,
welcoming small novelties of ob
servation, letting the fancy have
free rein, all contribute to pow
ers of reflection and absorption
that hold human beings relative
ly sane and happy in a mad
world.
Crowded and slowed-up trans
portation to and from defense
work may have its brighter side.
The general good nature that
prevails in most such circum
stances is almost amazing. To
the man who knows how to re
lax, there is endless entertain
ment to be found in observing
the behavior and appearance of
those about him. Furthermore,
it is a great deal easier to see the
countryside at 35 m. p. h. than
at SO and far less wearing on
the nerves.
IMAGINATION REQUIRED
Discipline and endurance are
grim necessities in any national
trial, of which war is the sharp
est instance. But to outstrip
the enemy, our people must em
ploy imagination and Ingenuity,
too, and these powers find their
richest nourishment ln the pre
cious hours of quiet, of appar
ently aimless activity which In
reality permit the deepest im
pulses within a man's being to
grow and seek expression. Read
ing and knitting require a cer
tain amount of concentration,
and are therefore not enough for
inner rest. Detaching oneself

money from the state came originally from the
pockets of Oregon taxpayers. What has hap
pened is that excess income tax money is being
distributed to bring about real property re
duction. This broadens the base of tax support
of the schools, and it tends to equalise the
distribution of tax money on a "need" basis.
But it does not "save" any money, generally
speaking.
Money is "saved" by cautious budget-making,
by limiting current expenditures to necessities
and capital investments to sound projects, and
by policies of general economy which should
rule every governmental organization.
The War Today
Br DeWITT MacKErUIE
FAST moving crises on all fronts combine
to give the Impression ot Europe which
is rushing headlong for the show-down not
that the end necessarily is Imminent but that
the final phase of Armageddon is close at hand.
Italian Marshal Badoglio's delay in dealing
with the allied demand for surrender is reported
to have given Hitler the opportunity to estab
lish a line of perhaps a quarter million German
troops right across northern Italy as a buttress
against an allied drive from the south. The
nazis also are said to have occupied the great
port of the Trieste at the head of the Adriatic,
thus closing one important gateway to the
Balkans.
It isn't clear whether Badoglio connived at
this, or whether he was forced into it un
willingly by threats of reprisals against the
Italian population by the nazi war lord. How
ever, that's muddy water over .the dam. Of
more immediate concern is the fact that the
allies have a large problem on their hands,
assuming that the reports of German troop
movements are accurate.
Defensive
THE fuehrer's move Is, of course, purely de
fensive. He expects the United Nations
to overrun the lower two-thirds of the Italian
peninsula. However, that no longer is useful
to him and he probably doesn't intend to offer
much opposition until the enemy reaches his
first line of defense, which Madrid reports
may be anchored at the naval base of La Spezia
on the west coast and run eastward to the
Adriatic. That would be about 200 miles north
of Rome. .
Hitler's main line will be hundred miles
farther north, taking advantage of the strategic
fortifications along the River Po. Here he will
dispute the allied rights of way to France,
Germany or the Balkans. . .
If you will glance at your maps you. will
see what a magnificent defensive line the Po
affords. We may expect fierce fighting here,
unless there's a great change in the picture
as it appears now.
Last Ditch Stand
THE purpose of the nazi chiefs move Is to
stand the allies off while he makes final
preparations to defend his so-called inner fort
ress, into which he will retire if the pressure
continues as at present. This is the circle
within which he proposes to make his last-ditch
stand to safeguard the reich and such of the
occupied territories as he thinks he can hang
onto.
With this concentration of power, and a vast
shortening on his now interminable communi
cations, he will battle to force a stalemate.
The all highest's plan is a scheme of despera
tion. This is emphasized today as the Anglo
American forces race for the coup de grace in
Sicily, as the amazing Russians continue their
slaughter of nazis in the fierce Orel offensive,
and as the allied bombers deal crushing blows
to great German cities while fear spreads
throughout the reich.
