FAVORABLE PROSPECT Charles V. Stanton It, was our great pleasure this week 'to have a personal interview with Captain Irving Larson, recently appointed to head the Game Division of the Oregon State Police. ' Captain Larson, given his new assignment the first of the year, is making a tour of the state to familiarize him self with problems and facilities. He is meeting with the men of his command, regional and local game department officers, heads of State Police offices and local citizens. "I'm a good listener," Captain Larson said concerning himself. "While on this swing around the state it is my desire to let other people do the talking. I want to learn the problems of each area that we may better design our program to meet local needs." The captain speaks with great sincerity. We believe he will be diligent and honest in his effort to improve game, law enforcement. .He appears determined to bring his de partment into closer cooperation at the higher level with the management and conservation work of the Game Com mission. If he succeeds in this purpose, as we believe he will, he will perform a most valuable and needed service. Familiar With Southwest Area We were particularly pleased by the fact that Captain Larson is personally familiar with the problems of the Southwestern Oregon region. His early work in the de partment was as a game law enforcement officer at Gold y Reach. His abilitv brouifht him advancement to the rank o sergeant and transfer to command of the district office j at Coquille. Fourteen of his 20 years with the State Po-, lice were spent in Southwestern Oregon. . i 117- I..

We have hundreds of miles of water furnishing unexcelled angling. We have two major rivers, the Rogue and Umpqua, from which commercial fishing is barred, both rivers drawing heavy tourist patronage. ' All this leads to severe hunting and angling pressure with a very limited surveillance because of the shortage of manpower available for law enforce ment. The area, however, has been exceptionally fortunate in the fact that game law enforcement has received the utmost cooperation from all state roiice oiticers ana men. In some other parts of the state complaints have been heard that traffic officers are not always cooperative in en forcing game laws, except on special assignment. While we personally discount some of these complaints, we have observed that there has been little room for such criticism in this area.. "Don't Worry Sonny Boy! 1 Love You!"

And some could be care Harmony Anticipated Cooperation has particularly improved since the Game Commission established regional offices. 1 State Police . game officers were assigned to each of these districts, thus providing a close working relationship, which in this area especially has been very effective. There has been much demand in late years from some organized sports groups that game law enforcement be re moved from the State Police and placed under the direction of the Game Commission. . Good arguments exist for such change. The State Po lice are organized along military lines. The job of the State Policemen is the apprehension of law violators. His work, it is claimed, does not begin until a law is violated. Proponents of a separate game law enforcement body con tend that a game "protector" could include the work of a police officer with that of game management, public educa tion, etc., thus serving to reduce the number of law viola tions. It is our opinion that the suggested change of authority is not necessary and that, perhaps, our existing system is in many respects more efficient than the one proposed. Efficiency, however, demands that there be a high degree of harmony and cooperation between the State Police and the Game Commission. We believe Captain Larson will do his utmost to co- measure. President Eisenhower's farm program embodying the principle of flexibllc price sup ports has very little prospect of approval. The existing policy of hign, rig id farm price supports is obvious ly an unsatisfactory solution to the agricultural problem. Most farm ers themselves will admit that. privately if not otherwise. The outstanding feature of pres ent law is that it encourages farmers to produce, not for the market, but for storage. Govern ment warehouses are hulking with a variety of commodities tak en off farmers' hands in keeping with the support program. These surpluses constitute a travesty on economic planning. Yet many years of operating un der the hig"h, fixed support ar rangement have led most farm ers lo identify this plan tightly wnn tneir personal well-being fully applied to programs of for eign aid. especi?iiy in underpriv ile'l lands. If the Congress would grapple wnn even mis mucn ot tne ed width, of any desired length and any desired thickness. The word "boards" is a little misleading. It doesn't suggest ade quately the vast possibilities that are involved. "Material" is a bet- 1're.sidcnt s carefully wrougnt pro- various .ddtUve. this material nations mobiliza'l n if an emergency should arise. ATOMIC ADVANCES Authority is recommended for new and advanced work on the peacetime uses of atomic energy n the earnest hme that present international relations can be im proved and the wonders of nuclear power can be turned gradually to the development of a more abun dant life for ourselves and all mankind. TAX REDUCTION The reductions in expenditures already accomplished, together with those now proposed, justify the tax reductions which took ef fect Jan. 1 and the further tax- re visions I am recommending . . . an amount approximately equal to the savings is being returned to the public in tax reductions and tax revision. BOLSTERING PROSPERITY These lower taxes will encourage continued high capital investment and consumer purchases. Despite the substantial loss of revenue caused by these reductions, we Th atari fow.iri lax reductions l histified only because of cuc- cesi in reducing expenditures and improving the bud jct iry ouLook . . . These pra;uyals are dire cud toward removing the most serious tax hardships and tax complica tions, and reducing the tax bar riers to continued economic growth. STOPPING POINT , I do not believe- th.it the bud getary situation will permit furth er reductions of taxes at this time . . . Hence, I repeat my recom mendations of last May that the reductions in the general corporate income tax be deferred for one year: that the excise tax rates, scheduled to be reduced on April 1, including those on liquor, tobac in .ititnmnhiles. and nasolinc. he continued at present rates; and that any adjustments in the other excise taxes be such as to main- T recommend also hat tho penalties resulting from undercsti. mates be simplified. 11. Filinj Data - To reduce the burdens of pre. paring and filing returns in the earlv months of the year, I rec ommend that the March 15 filing date for individuals ba changed to April 15. 12. Business Tuxes Particular attention should be given to the revision of the law to the problems of small and growing business concerns.

Vr to some other, untried system- fst,on r???h lou,ie 90f whatever its advertised virtues for f rt'on. In other words, Uie first t'hem and the general public. Politicians understand this mood, indeed, often seem to en courage it. So it would be the height of folly to expect Congress in an election vear lo risk the political peril inherent in any new farm policy. At the very bet, one might hope for some kind of compromise that might continue rigid supports for a time but lead gradually into a more discriminating flexible sys tom at a future date. After all. Mr. Eisenhower's ad ministration has given a year's intensive study to the farm prob lem, and has emerged with a de tailed program drafted scrupulous ly crop by crop to provide a three weeks of January will prob ably not develop activity on the floor but the committees are busy. The reason for the slow start of a session is obvious. It is always the practice to bring up and act on nearly all bills that are ready for floor consideration before a session adjourns. We pretty well cleaned the slate in August so it takes some time for the commit tees to get some more bills ready ready for action.
