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

WASHINGTON WINDOW
. Romney Rivals Kennedy
For "Political Instinct"
By LYLE C. WILSON
! United Prasi Inttrnitlonal
. Gov. 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

projects, 1955-61, during the Ei
senhower administration. There
is a passage that will interest
Romney.
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. Further, the
governor Is solidly on record on
civil rights.

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.

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.
