Homing Proves Problem

.' (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

Salem for that one month's rent

Enough of complaining we are
all sheltered and fairly comfort

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.

Youth Will ..Get
Another Chance
Under Probation

youth will get a second chance to
live up to probation granted on a
prison term, but he will havt a
change in environment, .
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

The three are President Oscar

will join Rudy Harness, also of
Roseburg, at Hanksville, Utah.
Most of their 122 claims are lo

the town. -
These four and a hired bulldozer
operator will then begin working
the claims which spread over 2.440
acres around Hanksville.' Their
base of operations will be- house

The men have already complet
ed the first phase of operations,
discovering so-called "hot spots"
that set geiger scintillators doing
a jig. Claims were staked around
these areas. Now the men must
discover the sources of the radio
iictivity. Then, ,they will turn to
the heavy work of determining
commercial worths of deposits
and even heavier work of mining

Meets With Opposition

agreed with the recommendations.
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.
