Taxes are scheduled to rise by about $85 billion next year. Part of this simply reflects inflation. But more than $35 billion represents a real increase in the tax bite, the share of total income that goes to the government. It will be a miracle if a big tax bill is passed before mid-1981, according to Sen.

Bob Dole, chairman-to-be of the Senate Finance Committee. A mid-year bill along the lines proposed by Reagan in his campaign probably would cut taxes by about $20 billion in 1981, roughly half the cut that would have oc curred if Congress had passed a tax cut bill this session. Inflation, a legislated increase in Social Security taxes and higher receipts from the windfall profits tax on oil all will act next year to increase the tax burden. Inflation increases the tax bite by pushing people into higher tax brackets, even if their incomes rise only enough to keep pace with inflation. This will add a "real" $15 billion to individual income taxes next year, according to estimates prepared by the Joint Committee on Taxation.

The committee expects income taxes to rise by $35 billion in 1981. Social Security taxes are due to go up in January by about $12 billion in real terms with inflation adding another $7 billion, the com- Taxes Turn to Page 11A iff 1 Oh, for the days of yore Workmanship, pride and a 15-year-old tweed jacket the Star's Opinion Editor, Robert Gir-ourd, looks with longing for days of yore, when craftsmen took the time and used the materials to make a lasting product.

Reagan will be pursuing rather liberal policies economically and a policy of detente in foreign affairs," said Howard Phillips, national director of the Conservative Caucus.

"We don't understand why the conservatives have not been more prominent in the campaign and the early stages of the transition," said Richard Viguerie, a leading money-raiser for conservative causes. "It sure looks strange."

What steps can you take to protect yourself and others from colds this season? Scientists offer the following checklist of advice, some of it old, some new: Take vitamin C. It works, says Dr.

Terence W. Anderson, head of the public health department at the University of British Columbia in Canada the scientist who has done the most complete and most respected trials of vitamin as a cold treatment. He recommends that you take 100 to 150 milli- From the hubbub to hushed chambers This lineman has big plans Some college athletes dream of having their names stitched on the back of the uniform of a professional team. Bill Humphries would like to see his name appear on a law office door. Page 12C Marketplace grams of extra vitamin daily when well and boost the dose to 500 milligrams during the first days of a cold.

This has been proven to slightly reduce your chances of catching cold and greatly improve your ability to fight off any cold you do get. Other scientists have found that individual vitamin needs vary, especially in accord with what you do. The body uses vitamin in cleansing itself of poisons. So those who breathe smoggy air, those who smoke and drink alcohol, use up their body's supply faster than others do. People under stress, whether from illness or injury or tension, burn up much more vitamin in adrenaline.

Older people tend to need more vitamin than younger people. And needs vary throughout the year. October is the month when most people's vitamin reserves are at their lowest as stress grows, daylight shortens, and we switch diets from summer fruits and vegetables to winter meat and potatoes. Women in their childbearing years catch far more colds than do men, apparently because the vitamin rises and falls in their blood After four months, Amdahl is finding out that it's a different sort of job, being a Supreme Court justice. It's not one that everyone, including many judges, would take to.

One of Amdahl's former colleagues on the Hennepin District bench says it's a rather cheerless line of work "reading transcripts, basically, for the rest of your life." Another one-time colleague, the fast-talking, quick-witted Donald T. Barbeau, says he'd be "bored to tears" if he had to do it. "I like activity," he explains. "I like having hell break loose every two seconds. I like to do things right now.

I'm forced to make snap decisions on evidence in an important murder case in 20, 30 seconds." In the Supreme Court, "you can take all the books home and read them and reread them, and take all the time you want. I'd find it boring. "An old-timer on the Supreme Court once told me, 'You know, Don, you wouldn't like being in the Ivory Tower. You like people too much. Here, you don't see enough of Barbeau recalled.

Judge Turn to Page 10A By DAVID PETERSON Minneapolis Star Staff Writer It seems an odd thing to say about him, really. But, having risen at the age of 61 to the apex of his career, Douglas K. Amdahl, the meanest-looking judge in the state of Minnesota, seems, well Lonely. "You know, the higher you go, it seems, the more isolated you become," he says. He sits in his small but handsome office a hallway away from the elegant courtroom of the Minnesota Supreme Court.

He speaks softly. Everything around him is thoroughly carpeted and dead to sound. "When I was a municipal judge, why, you'd go out for lunch and you'd see the lawyers and so forth, and it'd be, 'Hi, judge, come on over and grab a "Then, when I was a district judge, it was, 'Hello And you'd eat alone. "Now, on the Supreme Court, you don't see anyone else at all. All of us go downstairs for lunch; there's a separate room for us alongside the cafeteria in the basement, and there we all are.

It's not formal. Not a ritual. It's just what is done."

Each room will come complete with a toilet, book shelves, sound-absorbent walls, a closet and a long window that will allow natural light to flow in. The rooms will be 70 square feet, 10 square feet bigger than the cells at Stillwater. That's "quite spacious," Wood said, "when you consider that some states have three men in rooms that are only 50 square feet." Portions of the rooms and the hallways will be painted in earth tones not just gray concrete. Each room will have a view of the courtyard of the diamond-shaped structure a courtyard that will Prison Turn to Page 4A Wood's been giving tours to key state legislators to prepare them for the blow. "I realize that it's a lot of money," he said, "but start-up costs always add up.

I hope the Legislature gives me the support they've given all along." The Minnesota Correctional Facility-Oak Park Heights doesn't look like a prison. Strolling through the construction site, it's hard to believe that by this time next year, it will be home to 400 of Minnesota's toughest inmates. The prison, now 70 percent complete, stands in odd contrast to its older brother close by to the west: the 67-year-old Stillwater State Prison. Stillwater is a bundle of buildings with stark steel cages. Oak Park Heights is earth-sheltered, energy-efficient and knock on wood almost escape-proof.

The idea was to try to make a prison as a humane as possible. And Wood, its warden-designate, By LORI ROTENBERK Minneapolis Star Staff Writer The building hugs the earth, barely peering over the horizon onto the town of Oak Park Heights. Nowhere else, says the warden, is there anything quite like it. It is, Frank Wood exults, "the mountain top of prisons, the mecca of Minnesota, recognized internationally as state-of-the-art." But, he admits, it's also been called some other things like, a "country club for criminals." So Wood and the state Department of Corrections are facing a sales job as the state's new high-security prison nears completion in Washington County. In January, the department will present the next big price tag to a wary Legislature: The building that has resulted in an embarrassing $10-million cost overrun will need another $10 million in startup money for 1981.
