Thousands Strike By Air, Sea rtoCM ... . - I ' ' Mknn fuomm V " . The Day's News . By . ' ifrarik Jenkins Interesting news: According to Commerce Clearing House, Inc., a Chicaiio tax re-M-arch firm, Oregon's STATE tax es in 19(11 are tho lowest on the l'aeific Coast. They amount in the 1961 fiscal year to $113 per person. Here i the comparison. Hawaii $206 00 Washington $167 00 California $142 00 Alaska J1M.WI Oregon $113(10 I Tha report adds that in the 1961 fiscal year only thre i states in the I nion had lower tax collections than in the preceding fiscal year. These three states were Oregon, Ohio and Wyoming. Of the three. Oregon's four per cent reduction was the largest. All of which is statistical proof of our boast that Oregon is one of the best governed states in the nation. That's the good side of the news. Let'f now turn the page. In the 1961 fiscal year, the cost of Oregon's slate government was $11.1 per person. For the same pe riod, according to a careful compu tation worked out by Tax Founda tion, Inc., Oregon's share of the cost of operating the FEDERAL government was $408 per person or 3.6 tunes as much, VYh'ch is to say: Of each total tax dollar you nay, 27 cents goes for the cost of state government and 73 cent goes for Hie cost of federal government. That's quite a difference. It hasn't always been that way. Not too many decades ago say back in your grandfather's time the situation was almost exactly reversed. In those days, the cost of the federal government took about one-third of the total tax dol lar and the cost of local govern ment about two-thirds. Why the change? There aro many reasons. Wars are now much more costly than then, and the bulk of the cost of wars comes out of the federal treasury. Statecraft is also much more expensive than in Grandfa ther's time. Grandfather would have hr.d a duck fit if in his day it had been suggested that we should pay out tens of billions of dollars in aid to foreign nations whose friendship we want to in fluence. He would probably have looked upon it as BUYING F MEND.;, and as such would have wanted no part of it. And, in Grandfather'! day. there were no such things as federal grants in aid. We have (lie odd no tion that such things are manna from above, showered down upon us by our kindly old Uncle for free. Grandfather would have recogniz ed instantly that all such gifts come out of taxes, and taxes come out of the pockets of the people. Anyway Times have changed. We now have Big-Government a-long-way-off. Because it is a long way off, wo don't watch it as close ly as we watch government that is closer to us. As a result, big gov ernment in Washington now takes two-thirds of the total tax dollar instead of the one-third it used to take. AAC To Abandon Ice Island Bravo ANCHORAGE. Alaska (AP - The Alaskan Air Command plans to abandon Ice Island Bravo, a scientific research station about 9.i0 miles from the North Pole, the middle of the month. A spokesman for the command said this week the station has outlived its usefulness. It went aground 80 miles northwest uf Barrow in May, 1.160. The 45 members of the com mand, under Capt. Glenn V. Kul lenkamp of West Point. Iowa, who are on the island will be flown from the station in ski equipped transport planes. The island, discovered in 1947, has been occupied intermittently by Air r'orce personnel since 1952 During the 19.'i9 60 International Geophysical Year. Japanese sci entists made oreanographic stud ies and took core samples from Bravo. OOPS, LOST ONE MIAMI (AP) The teller at .

Stanton United Stale Plywood Corporation lias made a big contribution to community welfare by pond alterations to eliminate, or at least preutly reduce, any pollution from the mill in Northeast Koseburif to the waters of Deer Creek. Headers of this newspaper know that the condition of Deer Creek has been a sort of fixation with me. I've been told there are conditions much worse than found in Deer Creek; that by hammerinjr on the necessity for a cleanup of Deer Creek I'm demanding time from people who should be employed on much more important joint; that the Deer Creek situation is trivial when com pared with some other needs. Some people have been quite unhappy because I've kept harping about the need to jret pollution out of Deer Creek and have insisted that the matter Ret some official attention. Some of the official at tention diverted to Deer Creek, I'm told, was taken off inspections of restaurants, cleanup of rivers or some other work of more importance. Perhaps I am entirely off base in being so insistent that Deer Creek be freed of pollution. But, as I said, it has become a sort of fixation. I can see no reason Deer Creek can't be made to flow reasonably clean water. I'm hoping to see it that way. I'm very Kraleful to individuals and firms joining in the effort to get some of the pollution out of the water. Industry Aids U.S. Plywood prcviouslv had been one of the offenders because the creek furnished an easy method of water dis posal and pond clean-up. That's one reason industry throughout this country is one of the chief contributors to water pollution. In many places rivers are filled with coal dust, are colored by dye disposal, are robbed of oxygen by effluent from pulp mills. Fortunately, here in Oregon, we started our move to ward cleaner waters before our rivers were completely de stroyed for purposes of recreation and support of aquatic life. The Willamette River, for one, was in very critical shape before sanitary efforts were undertaken. Most of our rivers have a considerable measure of pollution, but Ore gon isn't as adversely affected in this regard as some other states. One phase of the problem, as I see it, is the neglect of small streams, such as Deer Creek, a stream which flows through a part of town. I'.S. Plywood, which has been emptying its log pond into the creek, has spent many thousands of dollars to halt pollution. It deserves the thanks of the whole community. Sig Fett, who was one cf several who earlier let grease and oil escape into the creek from automobile repair ac tivities, spent a large sum of money to put in a trap which stops pollution from his place of business. He, too, is de serving of the community's thanks. Other industrial and business concerns have been ar ranging to dispose of waste materials without dumping them in the creek. More Work Needed Mr. Wells, manager of U.S. Plywood, reports that the company has spent around $10,000 to by-pass runoff water which previously ran off the nearbv hillside and through the millpond before emptying into Deer Creek. Construc tion of a settling basin, which will take care of any solids from the pond, also has been started. This action will eliminate a major cause of industrial pollution. But the stream also is carrying a great amount of sewage. The amount of pollution from sewage will be vastly reduced by construction of intercepting sewers in the Eastside district. That will leave a considerable amount of raw sewage and septic tank seepage in the upper part of the stream to be considered. It is to be hoped that agencies connect ed with enforcing sanitary measures with regard to sew age disposal will do something about Deer Creek after the city's job is finished and, even though the project may be trivial, cause the stream which passes through the center of town to once again flow some reasonably clean water. Hal Boyle Agnes Wasn't Smart, But She Had Sense Of Command NEW YORK (AP)-The things a man learns about women when he is young educates all his days and ways. I It was then, a lime ago: i There were the four of us, going home after school, in the lime when arithmetic counted. He, the other fellow, carried the other girl's hmik. Class for the day was done, and a feeling of recklessness swept the campus of the grammar school. 1 carried the real girl s books. Her name could have been Agnes. Agnes wasn't the class clown or the school genius. She had brushed brown hair, the most languorous eyes in the fourth grade, and a sense of command. She was a great gal in her time. She had everything going for her beauty, freckles, charm, and a boy to carry her books home. I felt mighty proud the first time 1 was allowed to walk Ai:nes home, even though she wasn't too good at short division and she spelled by hearsay. But day after day all she talked about was herself nd her own dream. She never asked about mine. It occurred to me that all I was doing was listening to her, and her books were getting heavier and heavier. Time was invisibly throwing dishwater on my ro manre. Si was Agnes. "You're the smallest boy in the class, Harold." she said. "I'm a' least a he.d taller than you. It's ADDYE WRIGHT Business Manager DON HAGEDORN Display Adv. Mgr. Ore. Fri., Oct. 6, 1961 embarrassing.

I Editorial OREGON CONSTITUTION DUI FOR OVERHAUL Saltm Oregon Stattsnan The Oregon Constitution, drafted by a convention which met in Salem in 1867, amended so many times in the 102 years it has been in operation that it is pretty much of a quilt, is in for an overhaul. Over the years there have been many proposals for such a job to be done, but no Legislative Assembly a constitutional convention. In 1960 the voters approved an amendment by which the Legislature may submit a revision of the whole con- stitution for voter approval, instead ilhat authority the last Lezislature set revision. It has begun to function, .New berg as chairman At the meeting of the committee it was decided to undertake a thorough-going revision of the constitution. The majority rejected by a vote of eleven to two the suggestion that the general revision be con fined to a "houseclcaning" job, with submission parately of sub stantive amendments on which controversy would probably develop. This writer, who is one of the committee, favored the latter course, based in considerable degree on experience with the program for ad ministrative reorganization. The governor's committee on that subject went farther than some members thought was feasible politically. Gov. Hatfield carried the program much further. Only one of the recommendations was approved, and that in part the hydroelec tric commission was abolished. Of course seeds were planted which may bear fruit in the future. The big majority of the committee is ready to tackle the revision job as a substantive project, not just a cleaning up of ambiguities. Justice O'Connell. vice chairman, remarked he thought it would be , beneath the dignity of this committee to confine its efforts to such j i houseclcaning. Senator Pearson favored doing a thorough job, as he had with reference to administrative reorganization. Another quoted 1 George Washington at the constitutional convention in Philadelphia about "raising the standard" to which the people might rally. 1 It was easy to see that the committee is itching to "do a job"; and turn out a constitution geared to 1961 and after.

The union announced in San r'rancisco that Bridges and Wil liam Ward, a member of the exec utive board, would attend a Cuban federation of Labor meeting in Havana Nov. 11 13. In Washington. State Depart ment officials declined to say what the department's attitude would be if Bridges and Ward seek govern ment clearance for such a trip. They said only that no request had been received for passports for the union leaders to visit Havana. Last January, the department adopted a regulation requiring that U.S. citizens wishing to visit Cuba must have their passports specifically endorsed for such travel. The regulation was made after the break of diplomatic re lations with the Castro regime. Under the regulation, permission can be granted to persons whose travel could be regarded a be ing "in the best interest oi tne United States."
