The state Highway Commission w ill have the proposal before it on Tuesday, March 6, and we hope the commission w ill agree to add the Sandy to the list of Scenic Rivers. Some landowners on the banks of the river have voiced concern about what the Scenic Rivers Act w ill mean to them as property owners, but wise legislation on the regulations will show private homes can be built in such a way as to not interfer with the beauty of nature and to not over populate or develop the Sandy River. The portion of the river being considered is from Dodge Park to Dabney State Park. Support for Vote on Port It was good to hear both state Senator Dick Groener and County Commissioner Tom Telford support a vote on the proposed expansion of the Port of Portland. Both not only support a vote on the tax issue, but also of the board of directors. The Port of Portland is the only port district in the state that does not have elective board members. The board members are now ap pointed by the Governor. We urge our legislators to defeat the legislation to expand the port without a vote of the people and to support the issue to make the board members stand for election. A Longer, Closer Look A lot of people, in and out of the state legislature, are having some second thoughts about Gov. McCall’s tax plan. .The House rushed through what was essentially the governor’s plan with what someone referred to as “ judicious haste.'* The Senate, on the other hand, shows no inclination of moving so quickly. The revenue committee, chaired by Troutdale’s Vern Cook (D), apparently is going to take its time. The governor’s plan larg ely removes property taxes as a source of school financing. The load thus lifted off property taxes is imposed instead on individual and corporate income tax returns, particularly the latter. Gov. McCall’s plan, for all practical intents, makes a “ one-legged stool” out of school financing. That leg, of course, is the income tax. The other two legs of the tax stool normally are sales and property taxes A sales tax, except selectively, is politically impossible in Oregon. The property tax is equally unpopular and the governor seeks to relieve the burden. It always has been our feeling, however, that a tax system based on a single tax just won’t work. In a year or two or three, we won’t have a property-tax revolt on our hands, we’ll have an income-tax revolt. You just can't put all your eggs in one basket. We’d be much happier over the entire tax picture if someone, sometime, talked about cutting ex penditures. That one element seems utterly lacking from the discussion. Any tax plan would be an instant success if it could honestly point to savings in operational C06ts. But merely shifting the same old burden from one pocket to another, as do present plans, is not much of an at traction. Open house set Friday for new Outlook plant A spanking new addition to G resham w ill be o ffic ia lly unveiled this Friday when The Gresham Outlook holds an open house at its new plant, 1200 N .E Division. The open house will be a day long affair and Outlook em ployees will be busy at their regular chores Visitors thus will be able to see what makes a weekly newspaper tick. The new plant, a $300,000 investment, is the largest and quite possibly the finest weekly newspaper plant in the entire P a c ific N orthw est. A nother $300,000 has been put into new equipment aimed at improving Outlook production facilities Star of the new cast is a new, stx-unit Goss C om m unity press. The Outlook, early in IN S, was among pioneers in the conversion to offset printing end the new press will give even g re a te r c a p a c ity , especially in color work Greatly expanded space has been provided for both c ir culation and also for newsprint storage A Hans Mueller in serting m achine (to stu ff sections of the newspaper one into another) also is on order but will net be delivered until late April The new budding is a t ->ut two Sod one-half times the siae of the old plant at 238 N Main, which had been The Outlook’s heme since ISM. Additional new equipment baaa added In the com baa mercial printing department, an important adjunct to the newspaper J Ben Penners of The Dalles, a specialist in newspaper design, prepared the plans for the new plant while the Paul Emerick Co. was the general Damascus drills well A new well for the Damascus W ater District was scheduled to be drilled Wednesday. A contract has been let to R. J. S trasser, w ell d rille r . Engineers believe they have located a site which will bring in a 600-gallons-per-m inute well. B uilding was h alted in Damascus at the request of the water district Building was so rapid the water supply could not keep up Dennis K lin g b ile , w a te r district manager, said that if the new well brings in 000 gallons per minute it will be enough to supply new homes which already have meters It w ill also supply the new shopping center now being built in Damascus. Klingbile said another well must be planned immediately The district presently has three wells which produce a total of 400 gallons per minute The district now serves $30 contractor. Work on the new plant got under way last last summer. The building has been occupied for several weeks but Outlook employees have been busy with shake-down chores The new building totals roughly 12,250 sq. ft. Parking is provided adjoining the building and additional space remains in the two-acre tract should fu rth e r expansion prove necessary Boring OKs w ater bonds Voters in the Boring Water District approved a $300,000 revenue bond issue Tuesday by a vote of 58 yea, and 43 no. Kenneth Moon, watermaater, said the money would be used to extend lines, install pumps and build a water tank He said the bonds would be repaid from revenue and not from a tax levy W E A TH ER H 42 S* L Pr Feb. 22 42 .as Feb. 23 3S M Feb. 24 Si M Feb. 2* 4* .72 Feb.

This argument seemed to me to be about parallel to the complaint of one, who having waded through the deep m ire in his path, didn’t like having a friend walk around the mud hole on firm ground. T he m a tte r of am nesty deserves no pat answers and is certainly complex. Some men sim ply said that the w ar violated their religious beliefs and conscience Others lacked a religious base but refused service because they would have no part in destroying a people no slightest threat to our country. Many blacks found the armed forces more racist than they could stand 3200 men were sent to federal prisons for draft offenses between July 1964 and July 1972. Some 50 to 70,000 or more went to Canada Canadian records show that 14,585 of these received landed im igrant status in 1965 through 1N 9. T h e re is common agreement that most of those going to Canada were well educated young people knowledgeable of our history and traditions and convinced that the United States had turned away from the ideals of our great documents, songs, and revered leaden No discussion of amnesty can dodge around the crucial fact that the Indo China War has lacked even the semblence ot a moral base from the late 1940’s when we decided to help France regain colonial mastery despite our natio n al ideals concerning independence and self g overnm ent, until the present when we find ourselves on the side of corrupt m ilitary dictators. Another crucial fact is that the war has caused other a lien atio n s and wounds seriously threatening to our society Among these are the guilt of creating three million m is e ra b le refugees, k illin g some 400,000 civilians, and destroying land needed to produce food The war has exascerbated our ra c ia l problems The Harris Polls show only a minority has confidence in government after the lies and deceptions involved in the war. An indication of our general poor morale is the fact that over 98,000 deserted the armed forces in 1971. It seems to me that what we really need is a frank ad- m inion by our entire people that we “sinned and went astray” in the m atter of the war and that we need a generous application of Lin coln's, “With malice toward none and charity for all let us bind up the nation’s wounds--” . W Pete Sul ibech Rt .3, Box 560 Sandy, Oregon To the Editor: In response to M rs B er nard's letter to the editor concerning Senate bill 17» “the euthanasia bill" Mrs Bernard suggests we w rite our represenativea in Salem and ooooee this MU. I o write Salem in care of the bill room and request a copy of bill 179. She has either not done this or does not understand the bill In the first place it is called “Voluntary Euthanasia Act". The word voluntary is the basis of this bill, section two outlines the declaration a person would sign and the ease in revoking it. Section two also defines "irrem ediable condition’’ as a physical illness that is in curable, term inal and or a condition of brain damage or d e te rio ra tio n such that a person's normal faculties are irreparably impared to such an extent that he has been ren dered incapable of leading a rational existence Anyone who as I have recently done, wat ched a member of their fam ily being sustained for four months on I.V.S. only would certainly question the ease in asking your fam ily doctor not to sustain life by extra ordinary means when your case is hopeless Senate bill 179 is a very controversial bill Let each of us carefully study this bill before we write our senators. Carol Konell P O Box 254 Brightwood, Oregon 97011 To the Editor: The following is a summary of a letter I have written to Governor Tom McCall in favor of designating the Sandy river as a scenic waterway I have owned land on the Sandy since 1941, and 1 think you may be interested in some facts which have not been brought out. Copies of the letter have been sent to the highway com mission and several legislators' offices, so the full letter in detail is available In short I have watched with concern the increasing pressures applied to the beautiful Sandy gorge by an expanding population River traffic has increased 500 per cent in the past four years, and without any relation to the scenic riv e r designation conversly, this measure might lead to some sensible means of control and im provem ent. Back in 1966 the Game Com mission proposed a "development of the Sandy basin" including 10 sites with access roads, trailer camp grounds, picnic areas, and boat ramps along the same stretch now up lor scenic designation Luckily nothing came of the plan or the Sandy gorge would already be gone Now many landowners along the riv e r seemed to be aroused against the Scenic Measure either from a well meaning desire to be “ left alone” (Im possible), a-o confusion from statements by some that may be m islead in g . I would therefore like to state the following points 1. IF N O THING is done, development by bulldozer is inevitable. There are large landowners who definitely do plan condom inium - type subdivisions with all that that entails 2. In actual experience with the four riv e rs alre a d y designated as scenic by Oregon, the tim e between notification by landowner and a rep ly a-o sa tis fa c to ry set tlement by the state averages less than two months, and not (tie full year implied as usual in the discussions And of many cases only one has led to con demnation 3. Those w ith existing structures in the river zone can only benefit value wise, those who wish to build and can satisfy E X IS T IN G restrictions 4 People on the Sandy, like all others in this region, are being pressured by en croaching population so that zoning, codes and restrictions, which a re necessary and desirable if you live “ in town", now apply to you 5 Finally, speaking with a bias only for the Sandy and its gorge. I know only one class of person who stands to benefit (for himself, not his children) from N O T protecting the Sandy that small group who don't give a damn for anything but profit and exploitation at the expense of fellow Oregonians ArchW Diack 919 SW Taylor St Portland, Ore ■ i 5 X 7 PORTRAIT A Me * F t e b b e d p o r t r a it « i l l k « d e liv e r e d •• pwrewt •» p r e e d p e r e e t ★ O e e s p e d e l p e r le r e ily MORE ♦ Oroep» te k e e e f 44< per p r r t e « * LETTERS BA\KA MERK ARD MONDAY MARCH 5 PAGE 14 Shop Sandy It's Handy Use y e a r Ph»t»|r»»h«r> Naur» - 10 ‘lit 0 at THRIFTWAY - SANDY 73 FORD PINTO’S STICKER PRICE IS s3 0 9 LESS THAN DATSUN 510 $163 LESSTHAN TOYOTACOROLLA and has higher resale value, too!
