...deficit may well be swelled by a tax cut, if not in 1980 then in 1981. Congress has many ideas for reducing Social Security taxes; on Jan. 1, they will rise from $1,404 to $1,588 a year for anybody earning $25,900 or more. The Board of Economists expects that, in all, taxes will be cut by about $30 billion, including a reduction of some $10 billion for business, probably in the form of liberalized depreciation.

Lately the Register has been making some national headlines of its own by sponsoring a debate between leading Democrats on Jan. 7 (G.O.P. contenders meet two days earlier). The Register initially invited President Carter and Senator Edward Kennedy but not Jerry Brown; the editors felt the California Governor was not mounting a serious challenge in Iowa. Protested Brown: "I'm troubled ... that in a free society I have to convince an editor that I'm a bona fide candidate." Nevertheless, Brown tried to do just that: he made several trips to the state, set up a campaign committee...
