(Continued from Page One) lords at least aren't being very appreciative of this sacrifice when they try to bleed the last remaining money from the in vading horde. I can't say that the higher rent is entirely unjustified because there have, no doubt, been many times when legislative residents have been inclined to cut loose on the matter of entertaining and rather relaxed living with result ing damage to property. Also the very transiency of their residence makes it difficult for landlords. But it leerns too bad to punish the poor solid citizen along with the mmeniies. Most of the lobbyists nd many legislators are living m hotels and I am assured that thtre is a blanket raise in hotel rooms dur ing the session. . , - Our experience Svas such that out of desperation we found, our selves renting two houses the first month and paying out more mon ey than our source of financial support would earn during his en tire stay of several months in Salem for that one month's rent of two inadequate houses. Enough of complaining we are all sheltered and fairly comfort able, and being a displaced per son could be lots worse. Road To Toketee To Be Improved In Two Months WASHINGTON W The worst travel problems will be over in about two months for residents of Toketee Falls, Ore., the Bureau of Public Roads Wednesday advised Rep. Ellsworth (R-Ore). Several residents complained to Ellsworth about delays encoun tered in driving along the road be tween Toketee Falls and Roseburg because of construction work. ' Ellsworth, who passed the pro tests along to the bureau, made public a reply in which the bureau said it expects the 3,000-foot sec tion of road which is causing the, difficulty to be completed in about two months. The bureau said the project Is located "in a narrow precipitous canyon along the river with over hanging cliffs" and it is impossible to make heavy rock excavations without closing short sections of the road for intermittent periods. It said the contractor has been directed to schedule work a week in advance so motorists can know of the planned closings and to adjust schedules as much as pos sible to avoid periods of traffic delay. Arrect Follows C J: M Jpeeaing WnaSB A Roseburg man, stopped in his car south of Roseburg by city police after a 100-mile-pcr-hour chase, Wednesday night was book ed for reckless driving.

Rhodes, the arresting officer , said, explained he saw no one on ! the .street, so saw no reason to drive slowly.- J Two Minor Accidents Reported In Roseburg Two minor accidents were in vestigated Wednesday by Rose burg police.

Robert Keith Reymann appear ed before Circuit Judge Carl E. WImberly Wednesday for possible revocation of probation after it was charged he failed to live up to rules set for him - last tDecem ber. . The judge decided to give the boy another chance, transferring the probation to California. The youth's father, George J. Rey mann, had asked officers that the ; boy be allowed to live with an aunt at uaruema, lam. r Young Reymann denied he was guilty of recent charges brought by police. He denied knowledge of a stolen motor found in the ga rage of his home, and claimed of ficers picked him up without just cause. The judge said he believed the officers must have had some cause for picking Reymann up on several occasions lately, but agreed to let the boy take a bus to California. Judge Wimberly advised the boy to get a haircut ("That draketail is a badge of some of thi'se gangs around here") and to toe the mark in California. . Reymann was granted probation on a one-year term Dec. 8 after pleading guilty to a -harge of receiving stolen property.

The present payroll tax, ranging from .3 to 2.7 per cent, would be upped to .6 to 3 per cent. The first $4,200 of an employe's annual earn ings would be taxed, compared with $3,000 under present law. James H. Cellars, Columbia Em pire Industries, said the advisory committee is changing the philoso phy of the system from an insur ance plan to one to help stabilize the economy. "If that idea is used," Cellars said, "we should overhaul the en tire structure and employers should not be solely responsible. Everybody has a resonpsibility to stabilize' the economy, so every body should help pay. "We must consider the he.-.'th ot business. Taxes are going up. If you don't help maintain a healthy business condition, the employes would suffer far more." The average payroll tax now is 1.1 per cent. The committee's olan would raise it to 2.3 per cent. Mead also said that the Legis lature should decide whether job less benefits should be given to persons receiving social security. Cellars criticized this practice.

It explains cost of government to Oregonians and tells how the government is fi nanced; indicates future needs; delves into the school finance prob lem; tells what is happening to the basic fund; says why OEA believes "we must invest more in our schools."
