Liberty Bell Tap To Open Drive For Savings Bonds Oregon's Independence Savings Bond drive will open at noon, Mon day, May IS, with a tap of the clapper on Oregon's new Liherty Bell, theme of the fifty-day bond selling campaign, at a special ceremony in Pendleton. While the sound waves from this tap are spreading, they will be swelled by the tones of most of the church bells in the state and flags on business houses and pub lit, buildings in many an Oregon city and town will be unfurled in honor of the occasion. Umatilla county was selected as the scene of the formal opening of the drive effort because it had the best sales record among Ore gon's thirteen largest counties in the Opportunity drive In 1949. A short ceremony in Pendleton will be broadcast by radio over much of eastern Ore eon.

Gain In Next Congress Is Predicted WASHINGTON .Tv A leading house Republican predicts the GOP will come close to winning control of Congress in the Novem ber balloting. For publication, Democratic strategists were saying nothing except that it is too early to make forecasts. Republicans now have 171 House and 42 Senate seats. Democrats have 260 House and 54 Senate seats. There is one American-Lab-orite in the House and three va cancies. -a- To have numerical control, a party needs 218 House and 49 Sen ate seats. Rep. Clarence Brown of Ohio, who managed the GOP congres sional campaign in 1944 when Re publicans regained control of Con gress after a long dry spell, told newsmen the GOP will "pick up from 25 to 35 House seats and probably five Senate seals in the November elections." While gains of that size wouldn't knock the Democrat out of con trol, it woujd make the party di vision so close that a coalition of Republicans and southern Demo crats could run the show. There always have been some south erners who won't vote with the Truman Democrats. Between now and November, Brown said, the picture - may change to such an extent that Re publicans could w i n numerical control of both branches of Con gress and wouldn't have to rely on southern Democrats. "There is a definite trend now away from radicalism and the Truman program," Brown said. "Evidence of that is the defeat of Senator Pepper in the Florida Democratic primary and the elec tion of a Republican representa tive from Texas for the first time in more than twenty years."

"THE PACIFIC IS ON YOUR SIDE OF THE FENCE" Heavy Taxes Paid On Federal Lands In Oregon Revealed To Refute Report To Contrary The Bureau of Land Management has sent a letter to Robert D. MacLean of the Oregon State Tax commission commenting on his recent assertion that tha federal lands in the state of Oregon "pay no taxes," it was revealed by Daniel L. Goldy, Pacific Northwest regional administrator for the bureau In Portland. Goldy'i letter to MacLean pointed out that tha federal gov ernment paid $3.1 million to the 18 O as C land grant counties of Oregon in lieu of Uxes for forest lands in federal ownerahip in 1949. ine teller was prompted by a news story' which appeared In the Oregon Journal March 23, 1930. quoting MacLean as stating that "more than 1547 million of federally-owned property in Oregon pays no taxes." MacLean was fur ther quoted aa staling that "Doug las county has the most untaxed federal property with a total val uation of $87,721,000 followed by Lane county with t38.753.OQ0 of federal property on which no taxes are paid." , Cauntias Gat Lien's Share In his letter, Goldy pointed out that although the federal govern ment, like the state, pays no taxes, large amounts are paid annually in lieu of taxes. Goldy explained that 50 percent of the receipts from the sale of timber and other resources on the O at C lands, and 25 percent of the receipts from national forest lands are paid in lieu of Uxes to counties for road, school and other purposes. In 1949, O A C pay ments were 11.8 million. National forest payments to these same counties totaled $1.8 million. The Forest service also apends an additional ten percent of its income in the state, for the con struction and maintenance of roads and trails in the national forests all of which are of direct benelit to the people of the atate. Known as the ten percent fund, in 1949 these expenditures amounted to S828.146.55. To this amount was added, in the aame year an ap proximately equal amount from regularly appropriated funds for use on roads in the national for ests. Douglas, Lane Payments The letter disclosed that Doug las county received paymenla in 1949 in lieu of taxes trora O k C and national forest lands amount ing to 8735,786, compared to total ad valorem taxes of 82,178,481 lev ied in the county aganist taxable non-federal property of all kinds in the same year. Lane county re ceived O k C and national forest payments totaling $679,439 in 1949. compared to ad valorem taxes of $4,819,853. Since 1916, $22.1 million has been paid to the 18 western Oregon counties in lieu of taxes from the OaC lands. Since 1906, the United States Forest service has returned a total of $5 8 millions In lieu of taxes to 16 of the It western Ore gon counties. Regular Revenue Assured Goldy pointed out that each of the II western Oregon counties receives its proportionate ahare of annual O k C receipts regai'dleaa of the county In which the timber is cut. Under sustained yield man agement the annual salea of tim ber assure these counties of regu lar and substantial revenuea. The foregoing figures represent only the payments made to the western Oregon counties in lieu of Uxes on the O C, Coos Bay and national foseat landa. Other typea of paymenla are also made by the federal government to the state and counties, including pro portions or the receipts ol the Bureau of Land Management from grazing fees, grating leases, min eral leasea and permits, and aales of public landa and materiala. Dur ing the fiscal year 1949, the dis tribution of receipts of the Bureau of Land Management to the State of Oregon and Oregon counties totalled $1,811,567.11. Twenty-five states and the ter ritory of Alaska will receive a dis- Thtira., May 1 1, If SO The Newt-Review, Rotobuff , Or. S trlbution of $11.1 million from the administration of the public lands by the Bureau of Land Manage ment in 1949. The total receipts of the Bureau in 1949 were $37.1 million. An additional diatribution of $16 8 million is being made to the reclamation fund for the credit of various reclamation projects in the western states. Data It Available Another Item in the news story to which Goldy referred in his letter to Maclean waa a atatement attributed to Jamea E. Bunnell, appraiser in charge of the study for the tax' commission. He is reported to have atated that "it waa impoasible to ascertain what federal bureaus have control of certain land," and declared that "there is no central agency in Washington, D. C , where infor mation regarding federal property is available." , Goldy wrote that the Bureau el Land Management maniuins com plete base title and use records of all remaining reserved and un reserved federal public lands, ana will furnish the states of any tract of such lands upon request. Mapa showing the status of public landa have been prepared for certain areas, and are available for pub lie inspection and use. The Bureau of Land Management Is the cen tral office of record for public lands. The Bureau does not, how ever, maintain a title record of government acquired lands, which are a very small proportion of tha total government ownership. In formation on these trade must be obtained from the agency admin istering them. News-Review classified bring results. Phone 100. Re-Elect LYNN V.

Why just listen to reasons ? msassBBsm wwsm&i THIS time we'd like to tell you about something that you cannot see in this picture something, in fact, you cannot know about from looking at someone else in a passing Buick or from viewing a Buick on our showroom floor. It's the feel you get from a Buick in motion. You are going to find out that it is some thing like traveling on your own private, jet-propelled cloud only firmer. Maybe you know a stretch of washboard road, where you have to slow down, or bounce and jitter. Try that in a Buick and see how you keep a level, comfortable boulevard smoothness. Maybe you're always on edge to dodge dips and chuckholes. Those also lose most of their jolt when you're at the wheel of a Buick-or in the rear scat. Phoa wow BUICK aWa lor a dojmwmstrttiem - Mifhl fowl. In a few simple words -the ride of any Buick-SPECiAL, Supe or Roadmaster is out of this world. We could give you a lot of reasons. Soft coil springs on all four wheels, for example the firm linkage of the torque-tube drive the distribution of weight big soft tires on wide rims the way Buick engines are mounted. fajaaW a. KOADUAm. aanW Even Dynaflow Drive always silk smooth and free of gea red-drive harshness plays its part in the marvelous Buick ride. But why simply listen to reasons? Expedi ence is still the best teacher. Cdme see for yourself why the Buick rida is called "matchless" and how little it costs to replace a jitterbuggy with one of these level-striding honeys. m iM aaa) aa SUftt aaa' SPECIAL araaVk, ONLY BUICK BAM tffUlfotOL mad with ll (ror HfOHM-coMpn sstom finboll raba-in-AMd pewar In nSroa anginas.
