Demo Candidates Unite In Defense
Of Legislature's Call For Taxes
The three Democratic candidates
(or the legislature Wednesday
formed a united front in defendine
the legislature's decision lo call
for more taxes last year.
They were among speakers at a
Democratic rally in Roscburg Wed
nesday night. . .
Rep. Al Flegel, who is running
for state Senate, called recent
statements by officials and candi
dates of the Republican party as
"smears, half truths and mis-statements,"
and he called for a de
batt with his opponent Elton
Jackson,
Hegel, particularly, has been
criticized for voting for the tax in
crease in the Legislature which
appears on the Nov. 8 ballot as an
initiative measure.
Klegel lashed out at what he
railed "this cflort to win, regard
less of consequences" by the Re-
November 14 Deadline
For Director Petitions
Nov. 14 is the deadline for pe
titions nominating candidates for
two directorships of the North
Roscburg Sanitary District.
Two directors will be elected to
three-year terms Dec. 5 by voters
in the district. Persons nominated
for the posts must be registered
voters and property owners in the
district.
The posts are being vacated by
"Woody" Maddox anu Harold Pat
terson. Maddox has resigned, and
Patterson's term is expiring.
Petitions will be received at the
district otfice until S p.m. Nov. H.
! publicans. He chided his opponent
lor saying he (rlegel) had propos
ed giving away t2'i per cent of
O&C money, lie cited this as "an
example of the length they (the He
publicans) will go to mislead the
voters next Tuesday."
' The Democratic senatorial can
didate-introduced a pamphlet he
said was published by his opponent
and his campaign manager, J.ee
Wimberly. lie called it a "smear
sheet," one of the high points of
which is "supposed to prove that 1
am' not a proper person to repre
sent the people of Douglas Coun
ty." It calls Klegel and Sen. Dan
Dimick "cronies."
Klegel challenged Jackson "his
ghost writers or advisers" to de
bale "the truthfulness, or lack of
truthfulness of each issue raised
in this smear sheet, page by
by page."
Flegel took credit for guarding
O&C funds. "Jn the past four
years, I have been more in'tru
mental in saving our O&C money
than any other person in our coun
ty or in our slate legislature," he
said. "Some of these bills. . .would
have pirated as much as 50 per
cent of our O&C muney."
His statement was backed by
Rep. W. O. Kelsay, who is running
for re-election, lie said he has nev
er yet voted on a bill involving
O&C funds because Flegel has
been able to hold such bills in the
Kducation Committee of which he
was chairman. He said he is afraid
someday the county will lose some
of the funds "because" there are
more of them (non-O&C counties)
than us."
Kelsay charged the Republicans
with "HixhnnpKtv" in hlnmini, Hum.

JUDGE
I em proud el our rtcord. Our
program it not csmpUte. If
my work hoi boon satisfactory,
place on X btforo my noma.
on which I vote is scheduled Nov.
8. He said the governor had sub
mitted a budget which had been
substantially accepted. He also re
quested $13 million more in taxes
than what was anticipated, Kelsay
said. The Democrats, he said, were
merely carrying out the recom
mendations of the Republican gov
ernor. "Now, instead of a deficit,
as the governor said, we will have
a surplus of $35 million."
I-eiken added that Sen. Edwin
Durno, Republican candidate for
U. S. senator, had voted for the
increase.
Kelsay concluded that the Inter
im Committee on Taxation, of
which he is a member, will intro
duce a recommendation at the next
Legislature which will offer a lax
cut of about 8 per cent.

Smith Hurls Negligence Charge
At Byrd In Escape Of Prisoner

cumbent ira i. uyra nu iui a
prisoner in transport from Virginia
to Roseburg. "
. cn..liii,H at tha npmnfratir rat-
dJiwiB - - "
ly in Roseburg, Smith said t h e
sheriff was bringing a prisoner
nhiroMl with nnn-stinnort from
Grundy, Va., in April 1959, when
he lost him. He ciaimea mai me
sheriff had given the prisoner a
ticket hv rnmmprciat rjlane from
Cincinnati, Ohio, to Chicago, 111.,
because the airlines woum noi al
low an officer with a prisoner to
travel on the line. "As of April
1960 this prisoner had not been
found and he is still wanted,"
Smith said.
Statement Forthcoming
AhVlnnclv' miffiwt Sheriff Bvrd
said he is preparing a statement
today in answer 10 uie amuu al
legation. Rvril oln inilr evrpntinn tn oth
er statements made by Smith at
tne meeting.
Cmiih eaiH his nrnpram If elect
ed would be to offer police pro
tection around me ciock, iiui "
an eight-hour day as is the prac
tice now."
He said he would make three
other changes also. He said he
would oppose the practice of leav
ing female prioners in jail at night
with no matron on duty; that he
would try to establish night pa
trols throughout the night, includ
ing from 1 to 8 a.m.,; and that
he would oppose unpaid deputies
doing such work as patrolling on
weekends.
Byrd insisted that Smith s state
ments are "often without basis or
are patriat truths. I'm glad his
way of doing things are not my
way," he said.
Night Patrols On
' Byrd said the department has
had night patrols for several years
and has matrons on call at all
hours to handle women prisoners.
' He said the sheriff's reserve is
a necessary complement to the
sheriff's department because of the
comparatively small regular staff.
He says he has only six men lo
operate a 24-hour schedule. The
other five in the department are
resident deputies.
He had high praise for the Sher
iff's Reserve, saying it is recog
zined by the citizens of the com
munity for the service it has given
to the community. "These men
have been trained and know their
job," he continued. "I feel they
are a strong right arm to the
sheriff's department."

Further Cutbacks

cline in demand for fir plywood
during November. The 5 per cent
reduction will bring the company's
West Coast fir plywood production
level for November to 75 per cent
of rated capacity, he added.
Dick Moore, manager of the ply
wood operations at the Roseburg
plant, said that in line with the
policy laid down by the head of-,

be closed down for one -week,
starting Monday, Nov. 7, to adjust .
to the new schedule. The plant has
been operating five days a week
on a curtailed basis. ,

Dillard closed Tuesday for one
week, and earlier, Roseburg Lum
ber Co. had a week's shutdown.
Cascades Plywood has also an
nounced a closure of its veneer
plant at Reedsport because of its
market conditions. '
