OREGON'S HEADACHE EUGENE REGISTER GUARD As the election comes on, you will hear a great deal of argument over the impending deficit in state finances and what to do about it. Some 'of the Democrats have been in clined to pooh-pooh the predictions of Governor Douglas McKay and his staff, but the Democratic nominee for governor, Austin Flegcl is much better informed than some of his rivals. Therefore there may not be so much argument as to whether there's "gonna be a hole" as what to use to fill it up. This is a problem which concerns operation funds. (Funds dedicated to special purposes such as highway funds, work men's compensation and unemployment reserves are entirely separate). Old Man Oregon keeps his operating revenues mostly in two big pockets the General Fund derived from corporate excise taxes, and the Property Tax Reduction Account derived from personal income taxes. The Property Tax Reduction Account' is used to finance state operations which would otherwise require a levy on property. For instance, all higher education is covered by this fund; also the state aid for your local schools. Here is a very carefully prepared statement of those accounts from a report of the State Tax Commission with the figures con densed and simplified by Oregon Business and Tax Research : STATE OPERATING FINANCES (Forecast to June 30, 1953) Filed Y.ar 1949-50 Revenue Available .......

If we vote a soldiers bonus and in creased state aid for local schools, the General Fund Deficit will be $50 million plus. The balance in Froperty Tax Reduc tion Account is shrinking fast. Q. But might not the state's receipts from excise end Income taxes Increase over present estimates? A. Yes, If we have a great boom, Q. Might they not shrink? A. If we had hard times they certainly would, end then we would have "a fix." Q. What about new sources of tax revenue? A. Either thet or a slate levy on property and a state levy might wreck local governments. This is merely mi effort to stale the problem. It is so big it defies any quick answers.

I southern Illinois, near Vandalia, the other nisht, a kind-hearted truck driver picked up a hitch hiker. The hiker turned out to he an escapee from the Missouri slate penitentiary. He said to his benefactor: "l II have to kill you because I'm a fugitive from the pen, and 1 need i your truck and I can't take anv j chances with you." So he shot the kindly trucker twice in the back and beat him vip to boot. On top of that he tied him 1 to a tree Just in case the shootings and the beating hadn't done the Job. Then he took the truck and fled THINGS like that are getting to be rather common. I think I'm an average sort of person.

Martin f7 5,000 War II Veterans Study Under Gl Bill More than 5,000 World War II veterans are studying under the G. I. bill in 45 foreign countries, a Veterans administration survey re veals. Half the Vetera- are taking training in the humanities and social sciences, and the remainder are enrolled in a wide variety of courses ranging from architecture to theology. France, Canada and Mexico bad about half of all the American veteran-students, the VA said. Other rnnntric urilh siTnhlA ..alaran an- rrollments were Great Britain, Italy, swnTeriana ana Australia. The remainder of the G. I. bill trainee: were scattered elsewhere throughout the world from Sweden to South Africa and from Ireland to Israel. None was n training be hind the iron curtain. Veterans taking G. I. bill train ing overseas generally are re quired to have a working knowl edge of the language of the coun try in which they are studying, since very little classroom work Is carried on in English. Training is limited to classroom studies only. Be'ore veterans apply to the VA for foreign training, they should correspond well in advance with the school in which they seek admis sion, outlining their educational background and familiarity with the language. Only after the school has accepted them should they apply to the VA. Veterans are required to make their own arrangements for pass ports and visas and for travel. They must pay their own passage ana provide their own housing. I like to browse at book shelves, even my own famliar ones. I es pecially like to read along the shelves and savor the books by their titles. Words like candle, wind, river, bread . . you know the kind I mean attract me. So when I came to The Bubbling Spring (Scribner's, 1949) I could not pass it by. Illustrations in a book are not important to me as a rule; I like to illustrate what I read to suit myself and my own concept some times docs not tally with the art ist's (although mine is mental and I couldn't draw, to save me!) But I found myself turning pages and finding pleasure in the draw ings in The Bubbling Spring. What fascinated me so? I decided it was the utter simplicity (appar ent!) of each drawing, and the authenticity. Not that I could judge except by feeling a sincerity, a genuiness, and really-truly know ledge at first hand. When an artist illustrates his own book, and that artist is Ross Santee one has something!

Dis gusted, Ross Santee packed up and went west: to Arizona. There he studied the art of horse-wrangling. "It- was a lonely job, but he liked it. After more than a year" to quote the book jacket, he began to draw again, portraying in his own way the things that interested him . . ." He burned the pictures each night before he brought in the horses. But somebody saw some of them, finally, and in time an edi tor saw them too! Next thing the horse-wrangler knew he was an arist and a writer! Famous, too! "But he stuck to horse - wrangling and cow-punching for the life of the cow camp had gotten hold of him." If you like stories of the old west, of the out-of-doors, with nature lore sprinkled through; stories of horses, and the great herds on the trail; stories where a little hoy grows up to be a hard hitting lad who asks no odds but hews to the line as he sees it; a lad whom mothers, Indian and while, take to their hearts then you will like The Bubbling Spring. (I suppose it is primarily a 'man's book " The language is a bit rough at times, but then so was the old west). Parental Supervision Major Need To Eradicate Crimes Of Teen-Agers have helped ourselves immensely If we want lo bo free, wo must have a freedom-loving world to live in. MODERN war notes: One of our navy patrol plane squadrons is now equipped with the "gliding bat," a 1600-pound steel and plywood missile wntch MAKES COURSE CORRECTIONS TOWARD ITS TARGET BY RA DAR up to the moment of im pact . . . . . . Our air force has a 12,000 pound (six-ton) radio-controlled bomb with movable tail fins. Both its range and its movement from left to right and vice versa are controlled by the bombardier in the mother plane after the bomb is released. Flares burn in the bomb's tail to help the bombardier follow it throughout its fall. WHAT docs all this mean? Well, if you could shoot at a body walking along the road, I d like to pick him up and give him a ride because if 1 were going somewhere on Shank's ponies I'd like to have somebody pick me up and give me a ride. But usually I think of some grisly case like that one in southern Illinois, grit my teeth, look the other way, step on the throttle and pass him up. It's really a heck of a note when FEAR of what might happen to you throttles your impulse to do 1 kindly deed. Every tune I Iromp down on the treadle and roar past some pedestrian on the highway In a case like that, I feel ashamed of nvsclf for an hour. In his series called "Teens on the Rampage," Richard Kleiner of N EA has performed a useful, timely service by spelling out the mech anics of these gang activities and setting down the chief remedies proposed by law enforcement of Heals. From the remedies offered, cer tain definite ideas emerge. Young sters need companionship and or ganized, disciplined group acti vity in healthful surroundings. De linquency can spring up when any of the elements basic to normal growth is missing. That crowded city slums are breeders of crime is accepted by the experts. Dirty tenements and endless stretches of cheerless pavement don't encourage the rounded life for urban youth. But you can't put all the blame on the slums. Many a poor lad has licked his bad environment and gone on to success in his chosen field. Plenty of youngsters grow to adulthood in a mean set ting without running amok. Modern city family life frequen tly is much at fault. Good paren tal discipline is no longer a com mon commodity. Parents may be pre occupied with grubbing a liv ing, or perhaps merely with enjoy ing themselves. Whatever the rea son, they're indifferent to their children's normal needs. Some psychologists see the cily family set up as wholly artifical from the youngster's standpoint. Living loo olten in cramped apart ment quarters, the parents put the damper on a child's natural im pulses toward noisy play, adven ture, excitement. Movies and radio, welcomed by parents as outlets for youthlul en thusiasm, unfortunately tend to warp those impulses into unhealthy channels. Most experts agree that movie-radio emphasis on crime is doing grave damage to impres sionable minds. Better housing, real play spare, sirable substitutes for dismal slums. Where slum clearance is remote goal, churches, schools and school yards, community cen ters and fraternal halls should be made available lo kids for a wide range of organized activities. The parents have a double res ponsibility in this problem. They must face up to their basic task of disciplining their children wise ly and continuously. Outside activ ities need the touch of parental supervision. But perhaps even more import ant, parents have got to make a real pla-'e for their children in the crowded city home of today. Shooing them off to the movies or onto the streets is shirking their duty. At sacrifice to themselves, mothers and fathers have got to find as many home outlets as possible for their youngsters' nor mal urges. Home is not much of a child's world righ now; it ought to be a better one. $5 PER MONTH Poys for appliance repairs Rebuild Repair Repaint Add years of service to your appliances.
