FINANCIAL CLUB By CHARLES V. STANTON While much argument is being spent on political aspects of the proposed Columbia Valley authority, little mention is being made of one phase of the bill a phase that could be financial dynamite to the economy of the State of Ore gon and its counties. The proposed bill contains two very dangerous financial provisions the freeze on valuation and the new theory of offset benefits. One could be slow strangulation and the other quick and sudden death. CVA proponents speak much of "intent," and it is true that CVA financial provisions afford opportunity for bene ficent paternalium. CVA directors, with good intent, could aid local financing, for terms of the bill are broad, but valu ation freeze and offset benefit provisions could conceivably be used as a club to force local submission to CVA de mands. Title to much of Oregon's land area is held by the federal government, principally in the form of national forests and revested railroad grant lands. The state and its various counties each year receive large sums of money in lieu of taxes or as part of revenue from timber sales, grazing fees and other income to the federal government from land use and sale of resources. CVA legislation proposes continuation of payments in lieu of taxes and sets up a very flexible pattern. In Sec. 13 it aays : In determining the amount of any payment to a State or ubdlvlaion thereof, the Admlnlatratlon ahall be guided by: (1) The average amount of auoh taxee. If any, levied upon the property In th laat two yeara during which the property waa privately owned; (2) The current level of property tax ratee and aliened valuations; (1) The average' amount of th laat two annual payment. ' if any, under the provleione of any atatute, or agreement authorized by any atatute, previously applicable, which re quired th United Statea or any agency or Inetrumentallty thereof to make any paymente In lieu of taxee thereon or to pay any portion of the revenue derived therefrom or ' from Ite use or producte; (4) The amount of Increaaea In taxable valuea and other benefits arising from the activities of the Administration; ; (ft) The spsoial requirement for Stat and looal govern mint services arising from th activities of th Administra tion; (6) Th provlaion by tha Adminiatration, ae an incident of any (ervicee usually provided by State or local govern ments: and (7) Any other relevant facte. And the bill adds (in subsection f) the following: The paymanta authorlced under this section ere In lieu of taxation and the Administration, ite property, franchisee, and Income are hereby expreeely exempted from taxation In any manner or form by any Stat, county, municipality, or any subdivision or district thereof. The determination by the Adminiatration of the necessity of making any pay manta under thi Motion and of tha amounte thereof shall be final. There you have it! Valuation of any property can be frozen on the two-year average preceding CVA. No matter what improvements may subsequently be made, or how property values might rise, as they are certain to do in a growing state, their valuation can be frozen, permanently at the pre-CVA level, if the board desires. Of course, the board has authority to make such adjust- 1 if Jlyj .Jls - Boys Made Deputy Sheriffs To Aid In Fighting Juvenile Delinquency By JANE EADS WASHINGTON On the little court nous lawn at Logan. W. Va, 1,000 boy between the ages of 12 and 17 were "aworn In" as Junior deputy sheriffs. This league, formed by Sheriff Grover Comb to combat the high delinquency figures in Logan county, which Is comprised largely of coal mine camps, constituted the 400th uch league in the United States, Sheriff Combs reports that already delinquency has declined in Logan county. The Junior deputy sheriff plan i was developed by the National Sheriffs' Association three years go. Charles J. Hahn, executive secretary, tells me badge and commissions have been issued to 300,000 Junior deputies through out the nation. "Not a single boy has been committed to a state reformatory from the 400 coun ties in which the leagues are functioning," Mr. Hahn says. 'The leagues, modeled some what after the "police boys clubs" and special "Juvenile aid bur eaus such as that operating in New York City, have brought the sheriff and the bnv of hi county close together. They have become mends. A friend doe not deliberately do something to hurt other friends, and for that reason a junior deputy keeps hi pledge to ms shemi, Uranium Found In Washington State iBr The Aaaoclatcd Praaal A uranium content well above government-net minimums for development has been reported found in ore concentrate taken from deposits above Salmon lake In Northern Kittitas county, Washington. The announcement waa made yesterday by Homer A. King, an executive of the Big Dome Min ing Co., after receipt of a report from the metallurgical division of the U.S. Bureau of Mines office at Salt Lake City. The report indicated the ores contain two pounds of U-308 a ton.

Working with the National Rifle association, the sheriffs teach their Junior deputies how to handle a rifle safely. They engage in target contests. Other competitive hobbies are develop ed. These include photography, archery and, in the Western states, roping and tieing. Some sheriffs have procured quonset huts for their Junior deputies' clubhouse. Junior depu ties are selected from "both sides of the railroad tracks." The boys do no police or law enforcement work. They are not asked to "stool" on other youngster who have committed some minor of fense. The junior deputy works to get that recalcitrant, or "wrong" boy, to the next meet ing of the league, hopeful that he will want to join the organization.
