According to the proposed Re

would require one hundred twenty

amount to more than five times

bonds would lose more than 12

Our prosperity

depends on a cash reserve to take
care of any emergency that may
arise in these critical times.
In order to maintain a good
standard of living, the tax ex
emptions should be increased 40
dollars for each taxpayer and de
pendent, to compensate for the in
crease in the cost of living. The
40 dollar tax reduction would in
crease the buying power of the
persons in the lower income
brackets about three and one half
billion dollars, thereby provid
ing employment for millions of
people.
In order to stop profiteering on
public need, there should be levied
an excess profit tax on all net
incomes above 10 thousands dol
lars, which amounts to more than
four per cent on capital invested.
The excess profit tax would about
make up the loss in revenue, on
account of the 40 dollar tax re
duction for each person and de
pendent.
Sincerely Yours,
O. Henry Oleen
To the Editor:
The joke’s on them—the people
who make jibes at dry Kansas.
Someone has said that jibes at
Kansas for her prohibition tenden
cies are cheaper than a dime a
dozen.
But it is to be remembered as
significant that bone dry Kansas
has 54 counties without any in
sane, 54 counties without any
feeble minded, 96 counties without
a poor house, 53 counties without
a single person in jail and 56
counties without a single person
in state prison.

gon state game commission, 1634
S. W. Alder, Portland, and should
be accompanied with a statement
from the veterans administration

court house.
The same law—Chapter 270,
O. L. 1943—also provides hunt
ing licenses to disabled veterans
for 50 cents, or a combination
hunting fishing license for one dol
lar. The regular resident fee is
$3.00 for either a fishing or hunt
ing license, or $5.00 for the com
bination. All persons this year
must pay an additional 50 cents
for a deer tag.
The veteran must have been
a resident of Oregon for one year
immediately preceding his applica
tion for the license.
