It was my privilge last week to
spend two days with rangers of
the forest service visiting selected
portions of the north part of the
Willamette National forest. This
vast domain of one and two-thirds
million acres spreads along the
.western ridge of the Cascades
through Marion, Linn and Lane
counties. The Detroit district, with
headquarters at Detroit embraces
175,400 acres of which 137,600
acres are commercial forest area
and 70,000 acres old-growth forest
area. It covers primarily the head
waters of the North Santiam. For
est Ranger S. T. Moore of the De
troit district was our host, but
Jack Smith of the Eugene head
ouarters. and Ranger Jack Sau
bert of the Cascadia district spent
a day each with us on tne tour.
The other guests were Lawrence
Spraker of the Stayton Mail and
W. M. Hamilton 01 saiem.
- At this period of the year we
are aDt to think of men in the
forest service as busy primarily
with fire prevention and suppres
sion. That is only part of their
duties. This year all men in the
forest service are jittery, because
of the dry season. Detroit is par
ticularly vulnerable because of
the extensive clearing in progress
for the dam reservoir and the
pwer line up the Breitenbush.
The forest rangers really are
forest managers. Their responsi
bility extends -more and more to-
forest ' development ' and -. utiliza
tion. With the depletion of pri
vately owned forests on the lower
dtltudes pressures are increasing
for the cutting of timber in na
tional forests. This Is timely; be
cause many stands In these 'for
ests are mature and ripe for the
harvest, i ,
Marked changes have taken
place in the way forests are cut
Instead of starting at the bottom of
a creek basin and working up, cut
ting all the merchantable trees on
the floor and ridges, cutting, at
least on public lands, is done se
lectively. In the fir region

said a canner may use his ceiling

Court Ruling Paralyzes
Washington Finances;
Legislature
OLYMPIA, Aug. 20-AVrhe state supreme court today threw out
the combination appropriations-tax bill enacted 'during the 1SS1 fiscal
session. The action virtually paralyzed the state's finances and led to
a quick announcement by Governor Langlie that he will call a special
session soon. . ; :i ' .
The 5 to S decision ruled that the combination appropriations-tax
law passed-by the 1951 legislature
was unconstitutional. The law car
ried the main authorization for
various state agencies to spend
money to run the state.
Atty. Gen. Smith Troy said the
decision created an emergency sit
uation. Most state checks Issued since
April 1 the start of the present
biennium now have no . legal
backing. Troy said, however, that
the legislature could meet in spe
cial session and pass a law making
good all such checks issued to
date.
State Auditor Cliff Yelle said
he will stop issuing warrants
(checks) against the law immedi
ately. It may be a temporary shut
down, he added, depending on the
outcome of an emergency meeting
tomorrow with the attorney gen
eral and other state officials..
Langlie said the decision of the
court "makes necessary a call of
the legislature at the earliest pos
sible day."
In a 5 to S opinion with the
ninth justice concurring in part
and dissenting in part, the court
ruled:
1. The 4 per cent corporation
tax portion of the law is uncon
stitutional because it violates the
uniformity provisions of the state
charter.
2. The tax Is discriminatory
against corporations doing busi
ness on a calendar year basis, and
is therefore unconstitutional. .
3. The law contains two unre
lated subjects and thus violates
the constitutional provision that
no bill shall embrace more than
one subject.
The combination tax-appropriations
bill was passed by a special
session of the 1951 legislature last
April.

Statements as
'Irresponsible'
A handful of Oregon's hungry
convicts returned ? to work (and
food) Monday, amid reports el an
attempted suicide and a charge by
Gov. Douglas McKay that irre
sponsible statements had pro- '
longed the week-long strike.
The convicts have been foodlese
five days. Thirteen hundred still
are, 5 - . -
The governor's i Charge was
aimed at State Sen, Douglas Yea
er, who previously, said his senate
committee on public welfare and '
institutions intended "to prod-th
state board of control Into getting
a new prison warden. $
Latest development last night
was an unconfirmed report that a
group of penitentiary guards was -preparing
a petition Saying they
would resign if Warden George
Alexander was fired, -
Meanwhile, a regular meeting of
the control board was scheduled .
today. s i .
There was no sign of a general'
back-to-work move among the
convicts Monday.-,; in . i fact, one
prisoner., released at the end of
his term yesterday, morning, said
the boys hope to hold out an
other four days." : They ha vent
eaten since breakfast last Thurs
day not In the prison dining
room, at least They haven't
worked since a week ego today.
The ex-convict who said the
strike would be continued was
George A. Mclntyre of Eos ton.
Mass, released after a'lo-months .
sentence for larceny by bailee
who also said a prisoner named
Ellingsworth had attempted sui
cide by slashing bis wrists Sunday.
(Prison officials said last nfrtit
ElUngsworth "didn't get hurt
enough to be bandaged.") :J -
The handful, about 40 convicts
who returned to -work (and food)
Monday, were trusties.? emnlnved
largely in the gardens and driving ' -trucks.
s
N LegU Statu . I
Governor McKay's sssanin of
Senator Yeater came on the heels
of an Informal opinion by Attor
ney uenerai ueorge Neuner that
Yeaters committee had no legal
existence at the present time and; "
therefore, no authority. It is a
committee named by Senate Presl -dent
Paul Patterson at the start
of the last session of the legisla
ture, and did not comprise an la'
terim committee which would
have the right to continue authori-r
tatively between legislative ses
sions. - .." i-J ,
Yeater said Monday he did "not
think it necessary fori the com
mittee to meet at this time.
The governor charged Yeater
with '- spreading "misinformation
and declared the state .board of
control had been working on the
problem of obtaining: a successor
to Warden George Alexander eve
since.the legislature empowered lt
to do so last spring. Alexander,',
under the approved plan, - would
continue as prison business ad
ministrator, j - "
27 Applications j .
Thirty-seven applications, some
of them "top-flight men, now are -on
file, the governor said, and the
board of control "will move to
fill the office! as soon as the gov-
ernor and State Treasurer Walter ;
Pearson "have completed an ex
amination of these applications.""
Secretary of State; Earl Newbry,
third member of the control board,
already has studied the list, the w
governor said. '
Mclntyre, the convict released
Monday, alleged there ; was "no
discipline" in the prison; that
guards "made up their own rules
from day to day and the prisoners
don't know where they stand; that
medical treatment was inadequate; .
and that brutality , was frequent.
He claimed the strike ' was not
planned and was called because '
Guard Morris Race used a bully v
club- on a prisoner to break up a
fight The convicts demanded that
Morris be removed. ?
Continue Beach I '
Prison -officials have denied
there was any brutality. In the
meantime, guards continued their
search for 30 knives: reported
missing from the prison cannery.
Mclntyre, whose first meal out
side the prison was a hamburger
sandwich and a glass of milk, said
convicts were eating a mixture of
hot water, salt and vevptrt called
"chicken broth," and . a simple
syrup of water and sugar. t
Afaay Commente - '
1 Meanwhile, the governor's cfSca '
reported receiving ' many letters,,
telegrams and telephone calls,
about evenly divided between per
sons wanting prison officials to
stand pat and those demanding ,
the convicts be fed regardless. "
