State Hears Sandy River
As we have stated in the past, we
give a favorable vote to the proposal
to place 124 miles of the Sandy River
under the Scenic Rivers Act.
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

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.

drills well
A new well for the Damascus

to be drilled Wednesday.
A contract has been let to R.

Engineers believe they have
located a site which will bring

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

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

LETTERS ToThe EDITOR
No handling charge
To the Editor:
Several issues ago you ran a
short editorial on amnesty in
which you agreed that while the
war was something less than
fine, amnesty should not be
granted because it would not be
fa ir to those who accepted
being conscripted to kill and be
killed in Indo China. 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--” .

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

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
