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.

Taxes Expected To Be Big
Issue In Primary Campaign
By PAUL W. 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.

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

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.

I lining was laugiu hi uic rny
days of a nunrner oi religious
groups. Churches cannot be expect
ed to exist on the mere crumbs
and leftovers of our regular normal
living. 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. Many have
dedicated their tithes or a tenth
of their earnings to spread the
Word of God.
The strange result is that those
who give until their giving de
prives them of benefits which they
felt were essential are finding new
rewards. Their lives are fuller and
their satisfactions in life are cre

had never before known. Even
