year, Rice said. If the project is
okayed by Wlnstonites, it wnulrf
require time to "iron out in me
chanics involved" (bids, elections,

Rice suggested four methods oi
financing the sewer project: 1. A
sinking fund (which has been start
ed): 2. ceneral obligation bonds:
3. assessment financing; and 4.
revenue bonds.
Rico, estimated It would require
a year to complete the project.
After the representative of the
Corvallis firm spoke, citizens spent
some time questioning him. They

Previous Veto Cited
Last year Congress went along
with President Elsenhower on a
postal pay raise but ignored his
companion propossal for higher
mail charges designed to bring in
compensating revenue. Eisenhow
er then vetoed the pay raise bill.
Earlier this month, Eisenhower
renewed his bid for higher postal
salaries and rates. SummerficM';
bills spell out the administration's
general proposals in detail.
The Post Office Department
said in a statement that "despite
recent economies and greater ef
ficiency," it now operates at a loss
of between 300 million and 400 mil
lion dollars a year.
Summerfield estimated an in
crease from 6 to 7 cents for the
first ounce on air mail letters
would bring in an additional 14
million dollars a year.
lie also asked an increase of

in our complicated civilization
iven elective officers are not truly

The move to take the Motor ;Ve
bicle Department away from the
oeooiary oi oiaie's oflice and
make it an independent depart
ment, with a head appointed by
the governor, is another trend to
ward coordinating the executive of

There has long been a move in
the nation to make judgeships less
dependent on political campaigns
and billboards and more closely
tied into the record and ability of
tne jurist involved.
On the other hand, there is a bill
in to make the Public Utilities
Commissioner an elective office
and not subject to appointment,
and today a bill was dropped in to
make the clerk of the Supreme
Court elective. This last one must
have a purpose, but it eludes me,
as it pertains to an office in which
a man s legal knowledgo and per
sonality are vital factors and
should be subject to the considered
choice of the judges who depend
on mm. h ; " . .
If we trust our governor, we can
iurcly trust him to make sensible
appointments or at least so say
all of us who happen to approve
of the present governor. Perhaps
we might feel differently if the

Tracks, Railroads Tilt
Another scrap, - between the
truckers and the railroads, be
came further involved when Rep.
Ernest E. Sehrenk, Creswell, intro
duced a bill to prohibit the public
utilities commissioner from putting
a floor under any freight rates,
It would allow him to continue to
put a ceiling on rates.
The result would be that any
trucker or railroad could reduce
rates any time they wanted to.
The PUC now fixes all rates for
trucks, but he has no .control over
the minimum rates for railroads,
The truckers already are spon
soring i bill to let the PUC regu
late the railroad minimum rates.
Truckert say this bill is needed to
prevent the railroads from under
cutting them and driving them out
of business.
Schrenk's bill is approved by the
railroads, but not by the truckers.
Sehrenk said his bill would bring
new industries to Oregon by re
ducing freight rates.
The railroads say that the PUC
shouldn't regulate the minimum
rates because the federal Inter
state Commerce Commission regu
lates minimum rates.

of Portland, Monday were cleared
of an earlier accusation of taking
"windfall profits" in government
