STRONG talk about tales tax proposal de
velops at Salem. Sentiment for such a
measure appears to be powerful enough in the
iniriciainrd to oass It there.
but there Is speculation as to
whether It would be sustained
In a vote by the people, to
which It would undoubtedly
go either by legislative refer
endum or by forced referen
dum. A lot, we believe, would
depend upon the bill that the
legislature passes. What peo
ple want is property tax relief.
The only sales tax measure
that has a chance of passing
will be one that definitely will epiat
offset the demand for property taxes.
Previous defeat of sales tax proposals is in
variably cited by those who are against this
type of taxation or those who are for it, but
are doubtful it can be passed.
On that score, It is well to remember the
long struggle required to establish the income
tax in Oregon. Income tax measures were
defeated more often than have been sales taxes,
before the income tax was installed as
permanent fixture in Oregon's tax set-up.
Sentiment on such tilings can change.
Long Session?
OREGON'S legislature appears to be off to a
fair start, but everybody around the state
house seems to be talking about a session of
at least 70 days. Such a session would outrun
the' last one, which holds the record to date.
How much of this talk stems from paid employes-
whose total wages depend upon the
number of days the session continues may be a
subject of speculation. The Salem Capital
Journal thinks that the experts, "who grow
financially fatter each day the session is pro
longed," are promoting the belief that the
session will go to unprecedented lengths.
Governor Earl Snell, however, has made the
remark that "there is no valid reason why the
forty-fourth legislature should establish, some
sort of unpleasant record for being in session
the greatest number of days in Oregon legis
lative history."
One trouble is that legislators, like editors
and lots of other people, put off doing the dis
tasteful things like making decisions on highly
controversial bills until they are forced to do
so by the passage of time and the approach of
a deadline.

Committee Plum
BACK in Washington, Congressman Lowell
Stockman of the second congressional dis
trict is in possession of an enviable committee
plum. ;-: i-
Mr. Stockman was appointed to the powerful
house appropriations committee, y This is the
committee which- studies and recommends on
all appropriations for power, flood control,
rivers and harbors and reclamation projects.
Mr. Stockman is the first Oregon congress
man in history to become a member of the
house appropriations committee.
Senator Guy Cordon of Oregon is a member
of the senate appropriations committee. He
held the same job in the last session.
Oregon, with representatives on the appro
priations committees of both houses, is in an
unusually strong position to get federal appro
priations for deserved projects. We say "de
served advisedly, because knowing what we
do about Stockman and Cordon, projects will
have to have that qualification to get their
support.

Br PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 Mr. Truman re
vised many categories In his new budget
and gave them higher sounding names for in
stance, he had a new one he called "social wel
fare, health and security" (which is really about
all I want out of life or government, as a matter
of fact). But the significant aud obliterated
truth of the budget matter was he increased
every single category, new or old, except two.
No matter what you call them, they all went
up, except two, over the three-year period of
his budgetary figures.
You housewives who figure budgets for living
at these prices know a budget these days is a
hope expressed in figures, within which you
hardly can hope to live. The federal budget is
a little more complicated because of a time
element. Mr. Truman is figuring Income and
outgo for a period beginning six months hence
and not ending until 18 months from date. He
was therefore about as vague as you might
be under those circumstances in these times.
Now, in only two of his categories are his
expenditure proposals less for next year than
for last year. Those two are "national defense"
and something he calls (not significantly I hope)
as finance, commerce and Industry. (I have not
included a third account which has been re
duced, called "refund of receipts," which is
purely technical repayment of taxes already
collected.)
a a
Notional Defense Cut
NATIONAL defense had had to be cut be
cause you cannot spend as much for it in
peacetime as in war, even last year's partial
war year. This he cut from last year's $45,
000,000,000 down to next year's $11,000,000,000.
The thing he called "finance, commerce and in
dustry" was cut $215,000,000 down to $112,000,
000, nearly in half.
But look at his figure chart and you will see
"labor" went up from $104,000,000 to $117,
000,000. That category I mentioned as ideal
"social welfare, health and security went up
from $1,100,000,000 to $1,600,000,000. But you
may summarize the general truth by saying his
new category called "general government" (this
is much better than saying the White House,
or congress, or any individual part of general
government, the mention of which might be
odious) as I say general government went up
about a third from $988,000,000 to $1,400,000,
000. So you must conclude from a budget analysis
that the opportunity to increase every scheme
is generally this: To cut down on nothing really
except finance, commerce and industry, but to
take this opportunity to increase everything else,
and have no tax reduction whatever from the
high wartime rates, making these high taxes
balance a budget of unprecedented peacetime
proximity to reasonableness $37,500,000,000.
For this excuses may be plentiful. They al
ways are in budgets. He may cite higher costs,
needs, many other things. I am not dealing
with motives. I am saying this is the residue
result.
a a a a
Firm Stand
UPON this newly excavated financial ground,
the president you may have noticed, stood
firm but firmly in the position of (strange as
it seems) an economizer. He dared the repub
licans to find 1 cent in $37,500,000,000 budget
for tax reduction.
At this, the republicans have publicly laughed
and scorned. Even reluctant Republican Leader
Taft has come around since he got advance
word on the budget to advocate a 20 per cent
tax cut, thereby joining House Ways and Means
Knuufpn who demanded 20 per cent from, the
first. .Both differ slightly on figures but say
20 per cent can be cut from the expenditure
and this 20 per cent will be the relief proposed
from wartime rates.
My personal experience from 26 years of gov
ernment budget reporting is that there never
was a budget from which 20 per cent could
be cut. That much could be made up in gov
ernment waste alone, without going into other
savings, categories including "wise expenses,"
"necessary expenses," "politically advisable ex
penses," etc., which terms could well now be
devised for advocation of new savings categories.
If the republicans cannot cut 20 per cent out
of that budget without interfering with any
wise and necessary government expenses, they
could not cut a piece of soft cake.

Br J. M. ROBERTS JR.
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
The deputies of the Big Four
loreign ministers meeting In Lon
don to do the preliminary work
on a peace treaty for Germany
are taking up a task which may
require years for completion.
The stated objective is a self-
supporting uermany which will
ultimately return to her natural
economic role In Europe with.
out, at tne same time, permitting
resurrection of her war Dotential.
In addition, England and the
United States oppose what Rus
sia wants a Uermany which
leans toward the communist
sphere. The French want to
take over certain industrial
areas of Germany and clamp the
tightest restrictions on the rest.
Russia wants reparations with
out too mucn regard for tier
many's ability to support herself,
and will not cry too much if this
requires continued Anglo-American
contributions to the Ger
mans. ;
Little countries surrounding
Germany also have claims
against her. both for territory
and reparations.
Some of the questions to be
decided include:
Whether to permit ta central
government to establish a loose
federation of German states with
strong centralization prohibited.
How strictly to construe the
term "industrial war potential,"
whether all steel production
shall be internationalized, for
instance, or whether production
shall be permitted up to the
level of supply for a strictly
peace-time economy. (The
French ar;e reported retreating
somewhat from their demand for
separation of the Ruhr and
Rhineland from Germany and
their internationization; but the
Dutch are lobbying for the idea.
and France still demands the
Saar.)
Whether to establish, or per
mit the Germans to establish, a
central German government cap.
able of signing a peace treaty,
or merely to impose it.
Whether military occupation
zones can be abolished and the
operation can become one of
policing, with reduced costs con
tributing to German economic
rehabilitation.
How German foreign trade Is
to be supervised, whether large
corporations should be broken
up; how to handle the problem
of tariffs or their abolition, and
prevent . any aggressive trade
practices such as "dumping and
exnort premiums.
Whether to permit normal
trade competition, or to integrate
German production with that of
other countries through con
trols; and whether any long
term international loans wnl be
permitted.
Research indicates that half of
the 200 million tons of farm
waste produced in the United
States each year might be avail
able for use in' making motor
fuel.

Plane In Valley
Concerning the disappear
ance of an iirmy surplus plun
and the pilot, Robert Ittihol
torn of McMinnville, which Is
lost on a flight from Klumnth
Falls to Kugene, Rohrrt J.
Koff culled The Herald and
News with a tip that ho saw a
grey or silver plane apparent
ly In trouble In Wood valley
triday afternoon.
Rubottom left the Klumath
Falls airport Friduy afternoon
after refueling hore. Koff's
description coincides with the
color of the missing plane.
Koff said that he saw a
flnne come down low, about
50 feet off the ground, as If
looking for a pluce to land,
then suddenly swerve upward
In a steep climb and puss out
of sight about eight miles
from Klamath Agency. Ills
Information was passed on to
the CAA.
(See story on page 4.)
An air search, fruitless up to
late afternoon, continued today
following the disappearance of
Robert Lee Rubnltom lu.t Friday
on a flight from here to McMinn
ville, where Rubottom operated
the Oregon "turkey express."
Army planes from Hamilton
field, operating out of hero,
scanned the mountain route be
tween Klamath and Eugene.
Fliers coming In from the hunt
last night reported new snow
covered the area and there was
little hope of sighting wreckage
of a plane.
Rubottom stopped here a little
before noon last Friday, flying a
high winged, single- englned
army surplus plane. He had
spent Thursday night at Bishop,
and stopped for gas en route to
McMinnville.
Wilbur Whitcomb, manager of
tho Klamnth airport, recalled
that Rubottom obtained 53 gal
lons of gasoline and six quarts of
oil. Ho asked about the route to
Eugene, and was told that fliers
hero customarily flew, north to
Chcmult and across the Cascades
along the route of the Willamette
highway. It was presumed Ru
bottom took that route after tak
ing off about 2:30 p. m. Friduy.
Airport attendants said there
was a 3000-foot ceiling, lower to
the north, at the time. The sky
was covered with broken clouds.
Medford was closed In at the
time, and it is feared Rubottom
may have run into fog and bad
weather after crossing the sum
mit of the Cascades west of
Chemult.
Rubottom, 23, has received
considerable publicity In connec
tion with his plan to operate the
"turkey express" flying young
turkeys and other perishable
cargoes from Oregon to mid
western outlets. When turkeys
art out of season he planned to
change to sea foods and fresh
fruits.
The young pilot had accrued
1800 hours flying time. He
served In the army air force, fly
ing 26 combat missions from land
bases In England. He won the
Distinguished Flying Cross and
tho Air Medal with three oak
leaf clusters.
Passage of nearly a week since
he disappeared caused observers
to look pessimistically todoy
upon the chance he has escaped
death or serious injury In a
crash.
