Train To Br Discontinued
PORTLAND OB A report that
Southern Pacific was thinking of
taking off the overnight passenger
trains between Portland and Ash
land in March, brought a denial
Thursday that any such decision
has been reached.
Bernal S. Quayle, general pas
senger agent here, said such rum
ors have "popped up before and
probably stem from the well
known faot that the trains have
long been operating at a loss due
to lack of patronage." The latest
rumor of the discontinuance was
heard Thursday in Medford.
But. said Quayle. Instead of plan
ning discontinuance, the railroad
was trying to increase patronage
by eliminating head-end cars
baggage and expedited freight by
outting on dicsel locomotives and
by reducing the cost of Pullman
rooms, and was hopeful that would
solve the problem.

Melrose Crange Breaks
With State On Sales Tax
(Continued from Page One)
has been made through the. state
income tax. Income lax revenues,
it continued, "have become inade
quate to pay the expense of the
administration of state govern
ment." Necessity for the staie to
again levy a property tax to sup
plement revenues was foreseen in
the resolution.
The paper continued that "prop
erty owners already are overbur
dened by the levy of property fax
es oo the local level," and added
that "thousands" of non-property
owners in Oregon are the source
of "a great portion of the increas
ed school population."
The Melrose Grange's criticism
of the state organization's policy
followed.
Copies of the refolution are to
be sent to other subordinate grang
es in the county for study before
Pomona Grange convenes.
The Oregon State Grange, in an
nouncing its policy, maintained
that a sales tax "is based upon
the need to buy rather than the
ability to pay."
"There is no demonstrable need
for a general sales tax in Oregon
and there never has be.n," the
statement of the state executive
committee read.
The state organizaion claimed
the state has been on "a spending
spree" in the past few years and
called on the Legislature to find
ways to economize. "The Legisla
ture," it said, "should first elimi
nate tax exemptions now enjoyed
by many special interest groups in
the state."
Other farm groups, Including the
Fai'm Bureau Federation and the
Farmers' Union, have gone on rec
ord as favoring the sales tax.
A copy ot the Melrose resolution
ha's been turned over to the Rose
burg Chamber of Commerce, and
tt will be referred to the commit
tees on agriculture and education,
according to Harold Hickerson,
secretary-manager.
The Associated Press in Port-,
land Thursdav said the Melrose
breakaway was the first reported
there from any point in. -the state.

Lafferty Wants '
Congressmen To
Get Funds Freed
WASHINGTON I - A. W, Laf
ferty wants Oregon members of
the House and Senate to give their
"wholehearted, unreservea ana
immediate aid" to get immediate
distribution of more than 6 Vi
million dollars to 18 Western
Oregon counties. '
The funds are those impounded
in a special account pending settle
ment of the controversy over
administration of 472.000 acres of
Oregon and California railroad
grant land.
The request for congressional aid
was made early this week by
Lafferty, Portland attorney for
Clackamas County who has been
pressing for court settlement of the
dispute and distribution of the
money,. ' ...
Although some facets of the O&C
controversy find members of the
Oregon delegation divided, Lafferty
said he felt all could agree the
money should be distributed to the
18 counties.
In the fund as of Nov. 3T, 1954,
Lafferty said, is some $9,006,483, of
which $6,754,682 represents the
counties' 75 per cent share of
timber sale receipts.
As computed by the Library of
Congress r ' the attorney's request,
the money would be divided among
the 18 counties as follows: .;.''
Benton, $209,400; Clackamas,
$399,887; Columbia, $116,183; Coos,
8410.695; Currv, $160,090; Douglas,
$1,749,509; Jackson. $1,093,61':
Josephine, $652,519; Klamath, $'2
116; Lane, $1,120,631; Lincoln,
$27,019; Linn, $194,540; ' Marion,
$104,700; Multnomah, $53,636; Polk,
$160,090; Tillamook, $41,880; Wash
ington, $45,933; and Yamhill,
$52,687. . '
Lafferly said the breakdown does
not include interest on these funds
which Clackamas has urged in its
request to the U. S. District Court
here for a consent judgment.
