DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT Published Every Evening Except Sunday by THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT CO.. INC. fctersd at the Decatur, Ind., Post Office as Second Class Matu» Dick D. Heller, Jr. President John Q. Heller Vice President Chas. E. Holthouse i Secretary-Treasurer More on Taxes Tom “Withering” Witherspoon, editor of the Portland Commercial-Review, was a victim Wednesday of typical Republican logic. He became horribly upset on reading that we felt that Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine’s tie-breaking vote in favor of the sales tax merited editorial comment. From this, Editor Witherspoon assumed that we were indicting the entire Republican party for high taxes, vindicating the entire Democratic party. Unfortunately, Tom, you cannot attribute Pulliam-type tactics to our newspaper. We meant only what we said: that Ristine, a Republican shoo-in for Governor’s nomination in 1964, must take the blame for the tie-breaking vote which gave us a sales tax in addition to the gross income and corporation tax. Now, you shouldn’t feel that we, like Republicans of your ilk, are “against taxes.” We only asked that the least expensive, most easily administered, and most fair and non-regressive tax be enacted to pay for the cost of government — better roads (even in Jay county), better parks, more camping facilities, better schools, better metal health facilities, etc. We Democrats know that these things are necessary, and must be paid for. We just object to paying for them by setting up another sub-department in taxing, to handle another tax; especially since the burden of administering the tax locally falls heavily on the small independent merchant. And primarily, of course, because the sales tax is the most regressive, least fair form of tax proposed in the session. We know very well that many Democrats' (not our Adams-Wells-Blackford representative and senator, by the way) voted for the sales tax — since they did not want another session, and could not get the necessary money to run state government without “compromising” to the Republican demand for a sales tax —a feeling, we freely admit, was not shared by all Republicans, especially those in the Senate. But, Editor Witherspoon — didn’t you forget to mention the House Republicans, where they had a clearcut majority, without any need of Democrat votes? You yourself quoted all of the qualifying lines in the editorial, Tom — “and every Republic- - an who ever cried out for a sales tax should be happy.” This was a Republican tax, yop know; it was the lieutenant governor’s contribution. _and price, for a pay-as-you-go tax program that would keep up with expenditures; and it was freely advertised in Republican state platforms. And Ristine cast the vote which assured its . passage. He could have defeated it, but he wanted it. And as heir-apparent to the 1964 Republican governor’s candidacy, he certainly expressed the feelings of that party. The parties were reasonably split, in the Senate, but it was Ristine’s vote that made the difference, { . and therefore we gave him the blame or praise, depend- ■ ing on your feelings toward an additional sales tax.

Military Pay Hike Is Passed By House WASHINGTON (UPI) — The House, in a rare revolt against its dean, has voted pay increases of up to $5,000 for some retired generals and admirals, and a special combat allowance for servicemen. The provisions were added to a $1.2 billion military pay increase bill Wednesday before the House passed the measure, 293-10. The measure now goes to the Senate. Both the extra increases in retirement pay and the $55-a-month allowance for men serving under fire were opposed by Chairman Carl Vinson, D-Ga. t of the Armed Service Committee. Vinson, who has served in the House longer than any member — 48 years—is rarely overruled by his colleagues on military matters. His committee had recommended general increases, but turned down the combat allowance and the special “recomputation” benefits for 108,000 officers and men retired before 1958. Vinson warned that military retirement costs were soaring and the whole system might be jeopardized if the extra retirement provisions were added. The bill, which was recommended by the administration, carries pay raises for 1.8 million servicemen, not including 832,000 draftees and enlistees during thenfirst two years of service.
