That ralae an Interesting ques
tion: Which li better big prmlucllon

I'm afraid we're getting around
to the point where we think of
small production and high prlcea
a better for us limn big produc
tion and low prices,
I'm pretty sure that's wrong.
Over any considerable period nl
time an economy of plenty will

Coming to the conclusion Hint free
trade would be better for the world
I large than trade that Is forced
Into narrow, riirtd, nationalistic
channels by tariffs.
And free economy If we could
ever get back to It would be bet

rigidly regimented economy.
That. I suppose, Is heresy In
these days.

However, property tsxatlon

feel thai property is csrrylng more
uisn its rigniiui snare even if the
state Isn't taking a cut st It.
TREND
Because property generally Is
Ihe tax source for the vsrlous
smaller units of government, there
is a general trend In e good msny
nisics to leave mav aouice to the
Iocs! governments, and look else
where lor stale government in
come. Thnt, In effect. Is what the Ore
gon legislature had In mind when
II psssed tills psrllculsr act. Only
It didn't pull out entirely. The slx
mlll provision keeps one loot In
the door.
If times get tough, end Income
taxes end excise taxes aren't nro.
ucing as mucn money as the
slate government needs for it gen
eral operation, the stele could
turn bsck to property and lew ud
to six mills, even U this measure
is approved .
! It has been estimsted that a levy
I of six mills on property vslustion
! would bring in about $10,000,000 a
.year. That Isn't so much, consid
ering thst the 1051-62 blennlum
1 ststo levy agnlnsi property wss
jover $41,000,000. Fortunstely, the
Istste didn't hsve to collect thst
; money, Persons! income lax col-
lections were sufficient to offset
ill.
' I'ROTECTIOS
Theoretically, this slx-mlll Ilml
tatlon plsn Is designed as a pro
tection to property, to ward against
some future tune when the prop
erty tax iosd might be Just too
much to carry, a time when
property taxes might be so Jilgh
that owning a home or piece of
ground la Oregon lust wouldn't be
worth It. ; ;
This property tax limitation plan
Isn't without opposition, though.
It Is seen ss sq attempt by the
legislstur. or b certain llke
mlnded indlvidutls within the leg.
siature atid oei to work the aUtle
into such a financial hole that the
people will have to come to the
rescue by passing a sales tax.
If enough ot the state' sources
of revenue are tightened up or
pinched off. It can be argued, and
the people of the slate continue to
demand the services the elate pro
vides sooner or later they're go
ing to come to the conclusion that
Oregon has to have a aslea tax
to slay even. jm t
THVMB8 DOWN
' The people ol Oregon have turned
thumbs down on the. sales tax
about half a dosen times. But Hi
Issue Isn't dead by a long shot.
Opposition to this property tax
limitation plsn also take a per.
sonal turn, as voiced by Jim Msrr,
executive secretary of the Oregon
Federation of Labor, la the official
votera' pamphlet.
The measure Is described es "an
ettempt to legislate for far future
yeara on a program offered by
persons who have distinguished
themselves by making, predictions
that did not coma true."
Apparently that a slap at some
member of the legislature who,
during the early atages ot the two
most recent sessions of the leg Is-1
lature, maintained thst the stale
budget couldot possibly be bal
anced without a whopping big
property tax collection or come
lucrative new taxsUom- only to
find later on thst the budget could
be balanced without either.
Another mark against this pnr
ticulsr act I the suspicious swift
ness by which It Went through the
161 legislature. It wss introduced
snd psssecj by bath houses of the
legislature In one day the next
to lust dsy of the session.

WASHINGTON IH The Su

hearing to atom spies Julius and
Ethel Rosenberg, the husband and
wife sentenced to die for giving
American A-bomb secrets to Rils-

The denial lets stsnd unchanged

of the New York City couple
and puts them another step closer
to execution tn the electric chnlr
In New York s Sing Blng prison.
Only a commutation of their sen.
tence by the President can now
snve them.
The high court's rejection of the
couple's appeal wns announced In
a brief order, which noted thst
Justice Duck ' favored a hearing.
The court's vote thus was 8-1.
The high tribunal at the same
time and by the SRnte vote denied
a hearing to Morton Sabell, a radar
expert convicted with the Rosen,
bergs. He escspted the death pen

of 30 yesis in prison.

MONDAV, OCT. li, Ufit
Chest Goal
Company and Charlie Mack, oper
ator of the Klamath Flower Shop.
Basis of this new division was
the payroll deduction plan, which
permits workers to torm a com
munity service and welfare fund
by having a few cents deducted
from their pay periodically.
At Taylor's suggestion, the Pal
merlon firm. "'had already acUvt
tated such a plan and it has proven
entirely successful. Plamerton em-
oloyes had u greed to contribute
H cents monthly and the firm
m f e m e n t a proportionate
anare.
In connection with Use payroll '
deduction plan. Smith and hi
aides decided to erase what they
believed were two principal faults
of previous drives. First, there was
the oitenwieard complaint that
workers were solicited at their
Jobs and their wives were solicited
st home. Bo It was decided that In
urban areas, there would, be no
house-to-house solicitation.
The second fault had to do with
workers being approached several
times during the year and asked
to donate to various causes. Under
the payroll deduction plan, no di
rect solicitation of workers is al
lowed. The worker-management
lund is administered by a special
committee charged with deciding
first whether the cause is worth
while and second bow much should
be donated out of the fund.
A remarkable Illustration of how
well the plan works was reflected
by Palmerton's plan this year.
Under the old plan. Palmerton
workers were approached at their
Job and solicited individually. This
not only embarrassed the worker,
many of whom didn't happen to
have much cash at the time, but
required long hours of work by the
solicitors.
Last week, the Palmerton em
ployes notified chest headquarters
they were ready to contribute to
this year's chest, A chest repre
sentative called at the plant and
was handed a check for $3,000,
an amount $700 more than the
workers and management gave
last year.
Now, employes and management
of more than 30 of the larger firms
In the county hare decided to In
stall the plan.
Labor unions have also pledged
support. In the case of culinary
workers, for Instance, many of
whom frequently change Jobs, it
will be more feasible for the union
to collect the fund than for em
ployers. As one chest official remarked:
"It looks tike the wage earners
from apprentices through bosses,
have decided to pitch In and boost
Klamath out ot the failure column
Into the success bracket."
