4 flWW" .... . 'NO!" o r i a i IP a .7 v.xu ft P A lilt Alt By Charles V. Stanton v.: 4 Th Newt-Review, Roseburg, Ore.- The Sutherlin School Bord is facing the most crucial vote in the school dis trict's history Wednesday. . If its budget is rejected for a third time by the voters, the results will be far-renching, probably to the detriment of the district and its children. - The board has its back to the wall. Never before has the Sutherlin district been faced with a third vote on its budg et. And this year it appears the third will be the last whether it is approved or not. If it is not approved, chaos is likely to result. The $409,107 on which the vote ig due will amount to more than half the total expenditures of the district. - No district can absorb such a cutback without suffering grievously. This is the way the picture looks now. Total expenditures for all operations are estimated at $759,8811. This includes bond interest, general fund, school milk fund and construction fund. In addition the budget has $35,000 for a pay-as-you-go building fund. On the other side of the column, total estimated receipts and available cash balances total $340,276. Of the $488,607 )-emaining to balance the budget (includ ing uncollectible taxes), only $69,440 can (e raised by taxes without the voters' approval. : Some of this difference will be offset by the county Rural School District's equalization fund and the stale Basic School Support Fund. But the Sutherlin School Board feels the additional amount from local taxes being asked will bring school operation just barely up to present standards. ' The members feel, with considerable justification, that if the district is forced to operato without the requested local Another The Roseburg Moose Lodge and its fireworks captain Dr. George Lenci did another dandy job Thursday night of fill ing the air with rockets, roman candles and many other noisy and beautiful 4lh of July wonders, Thousands of people turned out to see Qe show. - Many ot them got a bonus with some lop notch amateur entertainment ar ranged by Wayne Wagner.

George Romney may not he much of a politician, as charged, but his Instinct for the warm and gracious political ges ture is about as good as John P. Kennedy's. That is very good, in deed. Homney demonstrated his po litical instinct Inst weekend in fashionable Crosse Pnintc, Mich. There he stepped off tho side lines in a surprise appearance nt the head of an NAACP anti-segregation parade. It appears that Homney just took over. No pre vious arrangements. The gover nor simply stepped to tho head of the parade and led off. No one who knows Jtomncy well would ascribe that maneu ver wholly to politics. Romney is a man ot severe integrity, lie is likely under any circumstances to be moved more by moral than other considerations. Nonetheless, Homney needs to make some character with Amer ican Negroes. For example: Just published is "Illack Man in the White Iluuse" by E. Frederic Morrow (Coward-McCnnn, $5.fW), Morrow was While House admin istrative officer for special Taken liom the filei 40 YEARS AGO ; July S, 1923 ' A recoid breaking attendance at ine gou tournament at the country club today proved to Fddy Nunn. professional golf instructor, that tic members of the local club are in earnest in the effort to put iioseiiurg on Ihe golfing map.

Morrow is something less than objective In his discussion of the Negro and his problems, political and otherwise. But he knows his subject. His credentials are ex cellent. Morrow wrote that the Eisenhower invited him and his wife to hear tho Mormon Choir from Salt hake City in a White House concert. "It was a deeply moving experi ence," Morrow noted in his diary, "and, despite my feeling about Mormons, 1 have to admit that they have one of the finest musical groups I have ever heard. Salt Lake City Is a difficult citv for Negro residents. It has deep-seated, relentless discrimination and, sinco the city is run, controlled and practically owned by Mormons, It is only natural that I have de veloped strong feelings about them." Morrow's book will he widely read by Negroes in the North and Fast. Tho Salt Lake Citv passage will do no good to Romnev's poli tical future. It could be offset, how ever, by maneuvers such as lend ing NAACP pnrndes.

MONDAY, JULY 8, 1963 Vote school taxes, state standards will be jeo pardized. These standards are based on the condition of the school plant, but also on the kind of school program offered. It is in this school proirram that big cuts would have to be made. Another problem facing the board is that it is very likely it will have no fur ther chance to offer a budget this year to voters. The county assessor's deadline for receiving school budgets so he ran make up tax statements is July 15. This would not leave time to marshal another budget request. The apparent alternative is to make drastic cuts and let the chips fall whore they may. If standardization is lost, the state basic school support funds will also be jeopardized and possibly withheld next year. The board is so uneasy about the pos sibilities of having to make these cuts, it. has not yet even explored where the cuts would be made. Perhaps school transportation or the school library oper ation would be included, but in any case, cutting would be wholesale. The board believes it has cut as much now from the budget as it can without damaging the standards of education it has set up. . Although it is of little comfort to the board, the protest to the budget appears to be part of a national phenomenon this year. Budgets around the country have crashed like tenpins, apparently as a protest to high taxes. Taxes are too high, but the protest should be against waste which is the heaviest drain from the tax fund. The answer isn't to hit at what the Suther lin School Board believes firmly is a fat free budget in a low valuation district. Moose commendation for their yearly program.

' " Ban On Commercial Fishing Brings "Destruction" Cries The commercial fishing industry, the Daily Astorian as- r.n..in,l i-mnutlt, in its at it ni-i 'I wide campaign of education to save the industry from "de struction." It points to the decision by the Izaak Walton I.eairue executive committee to place before voters of Ore gon an initiative Treasure to close the Columbia River to commercial fishing. The Astoria newspaper raises the time-worn "wolf" cry that the industry will be "destroyed" by any such closure and urges that a campaign to "inform" voters should be started at once. The editorial is based upon a re-1 cent statement by the Portland Or-1 egonian which spoke in opposition! m m..,in tho rnnr i, "hai. . . . . . lot legislation. 1 can am with tho (Iranian's concept of a uvc-and-let-live pro- gram of resource management. There is all too much demand for exclusive control on both sides, I fear. Until, however, a more definite program is spelled out, "ballot legislation" is the only answer. The Roseburg Rod and Gun Club at the last session of the state legislature presented a bill which included a formula that would com promise demands of all concerned. But the bill got exactly nowhere. It was opposed by both commercial and sports fishery groups. Yet, I believe, it could be used lo secure immediate settlement of the fish ery controversy. At tile same time, it could be made the basis for eventual unity of fishery manage ment under one commission, with a combined research program rather than the present expensive duplication. Not For Industry It is my opinion lliat the com mercial interests, when they cry of pending destruction if further pro lection is given the resource, are not pleading for the industry itself. I must admit I am confused as to why (here should be any wailing about injury to the industry. It seems to me that the cry pertains lo the elimination of gillnctters, - , not the industry. Just why the com 1 mcrcial industry should be so des perately insistent upon the protec tion of gillnettcrs, as opposed to ! outside trailers, 1, frankly, can't understand. I The Oregonian's position was that outside trailers take immature Chinook and silver salmon, "where : their economic value is the low lest," ratliern than permitting "a ! more controllable harvest in the i river, where the salmon are ma ! lure and of greatest economic val I ue." j Factor Overlooked The factor such an argument i overlooks is that the United States is a member of an international j treaty pertaining to fishing. If we 'fail to harvest our fish in an ac ; cepted manner, the treaty pro vides that other nations party to ithe treaty may step in and take ! tho fish not used by our own off shore industry. Thus, there isn t i much possibility nf curtailin? fish- ins in the area outside the three I mile limit, if we fail to fish in ac cordance with methods outlined in the treaty. : Unquestionably the harvesting of : only mature fish would be the more I feasible. But. so lon! as the inter national treaty applies, we're not I ant to arrive at any major change I in offshore methods. It also is Irue ' that Ihc commercial industry, when ; given the opportunity of quota harv est through use of gillnets. so manipulated Ihnse quotas that the ; number of fish left for migra tion was critically reduced. 'the measure proposed by the i Roseburg Bod and (iun Club nut lined a method for handling this very situation. I! was provided that any surplus of fish in the Columbia could be ' declared and the number and meth od of commercial removal speci fied. Eventually, with the reco - I cry of other coastal streams, it would have been possible to have extended this policy. I Compromise Involved ! But, as previously slated, the bill proposed by the Roseburg club! was a compromise. As such, it had few friends on either side. , The plan offered by this meas-! urc. however, couid be used as the ' basis for a study which could end i our continual bickering and could j lead to a unified fishery manage ment, under one commission, with a policy applicable to future years.
