Woodstock III . X'W-0444 In the Greek myth, Sisyphus was doomed to roll a boulder uphill forever Each time he would get to the top. the boulder would roll back down and he had to start over At first, when they launched their tax cut initiatives. Republicans on Capitol Hill must have felt like Sisyphus They'd push their idea uphill, only to have the Democratic majority roll it back down again Finally, though, they got to the top of the hill. Now their initiative is rolling down the other side with the speed of an express train, threatening to. flatten President Carter like a pancake At the same time, the Republicans are in danger of losing control of it To abuse another metaphor,, the Republican tax cut "boulder" is a rolling stone that is gathering no moss, but plenty of congressional Democrats They are climbing aboard so fast that by election day they may be claiming credit for inventing it The heaviest of the Democratic heavies - Sen Russell Long - weighed in at midweek last week, predicting big capital gains tax cuts and calling for major income tax cuts He said. "Today ..taxes on individuals and corporations are so high that they kill initiative and stifle com­ petition The rates are so high they are counterproductive We could make more revenue for the government if we reduced rates " If that sounds familiar, it is the refrain which the Republican tax cut leaders Sen William Roth i Del. •. and Reps Jack Kemp < NY > and Bill Steiger (Wise.) have been singing for months The betting in Washington is that the House will pass a capital gains tax cut along the lines of the compromise Democratic Jones bill (cutting rates from a maximum of 49 percent to 35 percent > instead of the Republican Steiger bill • which would roll rates back to t h e p r e - 1 9 6 9 m a x i m u m o f 2 5 percent >. The Senate, however, is expected to pass cuts in tune with the Steiger proposal Thus, when the two-house conference committee meets to resolve the issue, the final compromise will be in the direction of more liberal cuts < Steiger's) rather than elimination of any special capital gains treatment, which was Carter's original idea Carter is likely to get just 51) "Only Good Things HOURS Fri. 9-9 Clotod Sun. & ine "FREE Freedom Penod Furniture| DELIVERY Our Entire Stock will be reduced, including all bedroom, dining room and living room furniture.

Strode's Colonial Vermont Furniture Main Street, Huntley 312 / 669*3300 before the November elections - - a tax bill which includes both major income tax cuts (along the lines of the Roth-Kemp 30 percent-over-threfe-years pro­ posal) and capital gains cuts Though Carter's stubborn insistence on small, meaningless tax cuts and "reforms" which would soak the middle class have been out of touch with today's realities, it is hard to believe that he is so far out of touch he would veto the kind of bipartisan bill he is going to be handed. Not "unless he is bent on political suicide. Just as the House Ways & Means committee was ignoring Carter's pleas last week and Sen Long was climbing aboard the tax cut juggernaut, two polls came out with more bad news for the president.. A nationwide Roper poll revealed that Americans believe that special tax breaks for capital gains are justified A Gallup poll the same day reported that people consider the high cost of living as their number one problem Furthermore, 58 percent of the Roper respon dents want Congress to enact an automatic inflation ad­ justment on their income tax In other words, indexation The United States Depart ment of Agriculture <USDA> has proposed revised federal shipping rules in an effort to halt the spread of pseudorabies in hogs, according to LeRoy Biehl, University of Illinois Extension swine veterinarian Biehl explains the USDA Animal and Plant Health In­ spection Service (APHIS) formulated the new proposals after reviewing comments received from swine industry representatives on original rules proposed last year The proposed regulations would: Allow moving infected and exposed swine across state lines to slaughter Such Still, the administration is so slow to catch on that Treasury Secretary Blumenthal has been stumping the country warning solemnly that an overall $2 billion cut in capital gains taxes will add seriously to inflation, while studiously ignoring the fact that his boss is presiding over a federal budget which starts with a $60 billion deficit Credit the Republicans for killing some of the old myths about taxation Congressional Democrats, increasingly, are putting aside the myths, too Only the White House still seems to believe in them animals not showing clinical disease symptoms could be shipped to slaughter, to a livestock market to sell for slaughter or to a quarantined feedlot or herd for eventual sale for slaughter Require serum neutralization testing and health certificates for breeding swine moved interstate Require health certificates and entering state permits for feeder pigs moved from one state to another Allow interstate movement of swine vaccinated for pseudorabies ° Require cleaning and disinfecting vehicles used to move infected or exposed animals interstate ,» Pseudorabies. also know as Aujexzky's disease, mad itch and infectious bulbar paralysis, is primarily a swine disease, explains Biehl Caused by a herpes virus, the disease also can infect cattle, sheep, dogs, cats and wild animals In these animals it attacks the nervous system and can cause intense itching and self-mutilation Researchers say they think swine are the main disease carriers, notes Biehl Swine losses are highest, says Biehl, in newborn and suckling pigs Sows often abort or farrow still-born or mum mified pigs Pseudorabies outbreaks in swine have increased dramatically during the past four years 125 in 1974. 225 in 1975. 714 in 1976 and 1.256 in 1977 During the first three months of 1978 , 291 cases were laboratory confirmed Biehl says researchers expect pseudorabies outbreaks to continue increasing unless measures are taken to stop the spread of the disease The Illinois State Pseudorabies Advisory c o m n u t t e e m e t J u n e 2 6 i n t h e J u n i o r L i v e s t o c k b u i l d i n g , o n the state fairgrounds Springfield to review flu- p r o p o s e d r e g u l a t i o n s A n A P H I S o f f i c i a l w a s o n h a n d t o discuss the proposals Interested persons a l s o c a n s u b m i t c o m m e n t s a b o u t t h e r e g u l a t i o n s t o t h e D e p u t y A d m i n i s t r a t o r .
