Please give me space in The
Post . toplead Indefence of the
turtle and the mourning doves.
To show why they must have the
protection of the law at all lev
els of government, iftheyareto
survive the hunters* guns as a
living species of life. While
our doves are our most come
ly birds, yet, they are the
most hunted, harassed and per
secuted bird of this country.
Each year over 70 per cent
of all doves are destroyed. Seme
by the forces of nature, but
most doves are destroyed
through the greed of so-called
American sportsmen.
The legal kill for 1964 was
estimated at 20,000,000 doves.
With a cripple loss of 26 per
cent of the bag. This left a near
six million birds with broken
legs, wings and pinions to suf
fer days, even weeks before
God tn the form of death set
His own free. There were many
more millions killed from wires
with slingshots, with BB guns,
and b y men and women who
never learned "the manhood”
of reverence for life.
We ask, how long can our
children know "the wings at
a dove covered with silver,
its pinions of green gold”?
Or the voice of the turtle
dove in our land? For indeed
it is sad when man can only
measure beauty down the bar
rel of a shot gun, or life through
the sights of a high-powered
rifle.
With 70 per cent of all doves
destroyed each year, they will
soon join the long list ot van
ished life, and again man will
find himself much poorer in
living beauty. But the lust to
kill, the greed to destroy, the
shedding of blood, the lack of
pity and mercy in the thoughts
of men must be satisfied.

More Talk of a Sales Tax
A legislative interim committee has
recommended that the legislature
submit a 2 per cent sales tax to the
voters.
We still don’t like a sales tax but
it's just about inevitable that the leg
islature will seek to implement one.
The 1 Uf per cent tax limitation pro
posal made that certain.
The legislature is faced with the
absolute necessity of providing some
sort of tax relief. It’s all too evident
that unless it does, the people will
do it for them by initiative.
The suggestion for a 2 per cent sales
tax recommended no exemptions but
specified that each taxpayer be given
a rebate on his income tax of $8.00
per individual in the family.
This, of course, wouldn't even come
close to making up for the extra
sales-tax bite. We figured that for
our family, it wouldn’t even equal the
sales tax on food alone.
The big danger with a sales tax.
of course, is the ease with which it
can be increased. Washington's once
was 2 per cent, or even lower if we
recall correctly. There, the legisla
ture appropriates, then raises the tax
to match the appropriation. It's not
much of a system.
Some opposition has been express
ed to the 2 per cent tax because it
would all be earmarked for property
tax relief. How about those who live
in apartments or rented homes*
No tax will satisfy everyone. We
just hope that every other avenue
is exhausted before the legislature
turns to a sales tax. We’d much pre
fer, for instance, a broadbr-based
income tax. It would be vastly more
equitable in our opinion.
So many states have succumbed to
the siren song of the sales tax. how
ever, that pressures may be hard to
resist. But the legislature will be
opening a Pandora’s box.

at gratitude for our many bless
ings.
At this time, and always, the
handicapped people of Goodwill

express their deep appreciation
to all those who have given so
generously of their goods, their
treasure and their time to help
them to an independent, digni
fied way of life.
Your contributions to Good
will Industries, whatever they
may be, give new life and hope

Emerson wrote that "for ev

This is especially true of
my recent efforts in the guber

friends who selflessly devoted
long hours and precious re
sources to my campaign. For
their sacrifices, I shall always
be thankful.
In the past few months, we
have attempted to focus atten

which will confront Oregon in
the decade ahead. I hope we
were successful In this effort,
for if we were, the political
