DEER PROBLEM STUDIED By Chirlti V. Stanton A unique deer herd, which range in Klamath n d Lake Counties in Oregon and Modoc County in California, is subject of a trrowiwr and heated controversy. Last weekend I had the instructive and enjoyable ex perience of takinsr a look at the problem of the interstate deer herd while an investigation was made by the Oregon legislative interim committee on fish and game. The com mittee is headed bv Rep. V. 0. "Bun" Kelsay of Roseburg. Deer are not ordinarily migrating animals. They nor mally remain in a comparatively small area, climbing to high levels in summer and wintering on valley floors. But for some unexplained reason, a migratory instinct has been bred into the deer of the interstate herd. The deer of this herd apparently are no different otherwise than raaMrnt Aver. Rut over the centuries animals com pel t this particular herd hem to range over distances up to n" nines or morp. Thev summer on the lush range in Klamath and Lake Counties, then, before the winter cold sets in, they drift southward to a lower basin south and east of Clear Lake in California. . , . Mt. Shasta lies north and west of this basin. The mountain apparently affords a measure of protection to the winter range of the interstate herd, breaking the force of the winds and storms which often strike with greater se verity at surrounding regions. Herd Control Protested Both the summer and winter ranges used by the inter state herd also have their resident animals, roughly as many as those of the migrating herd. The interstate herd . has numbered as few as 8,000 and as many as 17.500 head. I reports John McKean, chief of the big game division of the, Oregon Game Commission. I The herd presently is believed to number around 12, 000. With an equal number of resident deer occupying the winteV range area, the estimates are that around 24,000; animals are concentrated in the northern basin of Modoc i County during the winter season. ! Probably no animals in the I nited States get more tt tenlion than these deer of the interstate herd. The game departments of Oregon and California coop erate in management plans and research, and have the aid and advice of the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau nf Land Management and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Live- stock associations and sports organizations join with the of- ficial agencies in advisory capacity. The herd is under, constant observation and sunprvision. white research into range management and improvement is given continuing study and experimentation. i The management groups have adopted policies design ed to keep the herd in balance with the capacity of the winter range. It is the opinion of the management experts that the existing deer population is as large as the range can support without danger of overstocking and subsequent : damage. A large body of hunters, particularly in Klamath Coun ty, doesn't like the control program. Vigorous protests have been made against existing policies. I Stockmen Concerned I Some of the protesting hunters refuse to believe the findings of the management staffs concerning range capa city. There is much more browse available than indicated by the game departments, and the range can safely sus-! tain more animals, these hunters insist. Rut the manage ment boys point out that deer are creatures of habit, are about as dumb as any animals can be, so, though food mav exist on one part of the range, deer will bunch up and starve in an area onlv a few miles away, and will re sist all efforts to move them. Consentient ty. they insist, there must be sufficient food where the deer congregate or heavy losses will result. Hunters then point to the fact that many thousand head nf sheep and cattle are grazed on this same winter range, under permits and fees as provided by the Forest Service: and RLM. Instead of killing off doe deer to control the size of the interstate herd, chase domestic livestock off the public domain, the hunters demand. Rut that doesn't np- peal to the stockmen, who would be hurt financially and who contend that thousands of the deer feed off private range on the many huge ranches and that the stockman! should have some credit for that. j Hunters are arguing most vigorously against antlerless deer kills on the interstate herd, while stockmen are fear ful they will be deprived of access to thousands of acres I of public range if the deer herd is not regulated. The de-l bate is growing more and more heated daily and promises! to become a bitter issue unless some solution is found and soon.

HARVEY, Jr. SALEM i Judging from what the candidates have been saying, the big issue in Oregon's political campaign this year in taxes. Although many Republicans have said they want tax reduction, none of the six GOP candidates for governor even mentions taxes in the slogan which will appear by his name on the ballot. Only one of the three Demo cratic candidates for governor Lew Wallace of Portland pledges himself to a tax cut, although the other two mention taxes in their slogans. Ballot slogans are significant because they are used in an effort to woo votes. The fact that eight of the nine gubernatorial candi dates don't promise tax reductions in their slogans might indicate that they don't believe this issue will be as popular as first thought. Promises Economy Wallace's slogan is: "Democrat: will reduce taxes through drastic economy in spending taxpayers' money." The slogan of Democratic Gov. Robert D. Holmes is: "Your gov ernor, who reduced your income tax through special legislative action." The third Democratic candidate. Wiley W. Smith, promises: "Taxa tion as provided by the Constitu tion of the State of Oregon." While the Republican candidates don't mention taxation, they don't bring up any other issues, either. Secretary of State Mark O. Hal field's slogan is: "The ability, fairness and political courage needed for Republican victory in November." State v Treasurer Sig Lnander says he is a "Man for a man sized job." State Sen. Warren Gill doesn't have any slogan at all. Peter I WASHINGTON (NEA) The i new 2.9-billion-dollar housing a i d ; bill introduced by Senator John iSparkman (D-Ala.) throws the recommendations of President Ei I senhow-er in the wastebasket. The administration program had ' called for housing appropriations of 853 million dollars for next year less than a third of the Sparkman recommendations. But this only a start. Senator Sparkman says he has other hous ing proposals to make later on. They will include programs for slum clearance, urban renewal, college and public housing. ! President Eisenhower had rec ommended tapering off federal slum clearance and urban renewal programs to return this expense eventually to state and local gov ernments. For college housing the President had recommended 419 million dollars. What Senator Sparkman intro duces in his first bill are housing programs on which fast starts can be made. The obvious intention is not only to provide more housing, but to use housing industry lo stimulate business in general, cre ate new jobs, relieve - unemploy ment and reverse trends toward re cession. IN THE MAIN, the Sparkman program anticipates nearly all Ihe recommendations to be made by the housing, lobby. On some points Sparkman goes beyond housing in dustry recommendations. Nels G. Sevenn. San Diego. Calif., builder and 1958 president nf National Association of Home , Builders, will present the industry program to Sparkman s housing subcommittee. The Sparkman bill would extend the GI housing legislation with 300 ' million dollars for Hiret lnan I until July, 1960. President Eisen hower had contemplated lhat this program would end with expira tion of the act July first and that all future housing loans to veter Ski Pants and Jackets Prices Slashed!

Coma in and look round. 1 The other Republican slogans are- Albert Eichman "Live and let live." George N. Livingston , "Let s go to work. Orval Kasor "Make Oregon grow." Of the 198 persons who filed for the Legislature, only J3 said they would try to reduce taxes. Nine of them are Republicans. Most of the slogans contain pledges to support freedom, pros perity, efficiency, more industries or honesty, or any combination of one or more of these virtues. Of those 198 legislative candi dates, there are 104 Democrats and 94 Republicans. In Ihe 1957 Legislature, there were four Democratic representa tives who often supported the Republicans. Thev are Joe Rogers. Independence: Katherine Musa, The Dalles; George Annala. Hood River: and Emil Stunz. Nyssa. The Democratic leaders often threatened that they would see that the four didn't get re-elected. The four were placed in Siberia as far as any policy-making was concerned. I Rogers now is running as a Republican. But three of the four are running this year without opposition in either party. Stunz has a primary opponent, but no Republican is opposing him. Another husband-wife legislative team is a possibility. Rep. Robert B. Duncan ID. Med ford I has filed for re-election, and his pretty wife. Manjane. is seeking the other House seat in Jackson County. The present marital legislative partnership is that of Mrs. Musa and her husband. Sen. Ben Musa. Both are Democrats. The first one was lhat of former State Sen. Richard L. Neuberger and Rep. Maurine Neuberger. Neuberger now is a U.S. senator, and his wife helps him. Edson ans would be made through regu lar Federal Housing Administra tion procedures. The building industry wants an indefinite continuation of GI hous : ing with a "more realistic" mean ing hicher interest rate. SENATOR SPARKMAN'S bill would reduce down payments on FHA loans to 3 per cent on the first $13,500. The Sparkman bill would give Federal National Mortgage Assn. a revolving fund of 15 billion dol lars to purchase special assistance mortgages for housing low income and older people. The housing industry wanted a billion dollars for this. President Eisenhower had recommended only 229 million dollars additional The Sparkman bill would pro vide still another billion dollar for FNMA purchase of general mil ilary housing mortgages. Neither Ihe administration nor NAHB rec ommended this. THE HOME BUILDING industry does have some other amend- ' ments it would like to see written into the Sparkman bill, savs ; NAHB President Sevenn. He m- ' eludes: Change the FHA act so thai builders can get guaranteed loans on old housing traded in on new housing. Enact real estate investment trust legislation vetoed by Presi dent Eisenhower next" year This would give special tax benefits to encourage investment in real es tate developments. Allow builders and real estale operators to treat profits on long ! term realty investments as capital gains instead of straight income for tax pruposes. Administration opposition lo these recommendations and to i many provisions of the Sparkman : bill will be based on the conten 1 lion that the housing industry isn't in any great depression and that it doesn't need all these special benefits and subsidies.

Spiritual endeavor is of little value if it is entirely free of effort and cost. Recently Christian ministers have re-emphasized the need for people to give systematically from their worldly income.
