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 :

In other words, there will be a General Fund deficit of $32
million plus in any case. 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.

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!
The Bubbling Spring the very
words are a delight to one who
has always been charmed with a
spring! is a story of the old west

ience in Chicago where he "swept
nine acres of corridors and class
rooms" to work his way. 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).

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

a case like that, I feel ashamed of

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.

Even tha correspondent! to the Roseburg Review of 1900
found little to tell some weeks. A glance at the News-Review's
columns lately will show that fire has just caused
many thousands of dollars loss just in the past few days.
Too often the story ends with "the loss was partly covered
by insutance." Don't ever let that happen to you! Take in
