High Cost of Lobbying The National Association of Real Estate Boards passed the National Association of Electric Companies in their reported dis bursement for lobbying in Washington in 1955. The real estatert pungled up $131,055 which topped the Reddy Kilowatt boys by $16,170. Total reported lobbyini outlay by h 1(1 films mnnrli fnr lQS., vii H 385 843. at compared with $4,182,127 for 1954. Influ encing legislation Is hit by the high cost of living, which in Washington is pushed up by the bills for drinks. Do not bundle all the lobbyists together as the outriders of boodle and corruption. Up lift has its servants as do labor organizations and project promoters. Among 'the last -named was the Upper Colorado River Crasi Roots, Inc., which spent $68,623 and got re turns on the investment when the bill for the huge project was enacted this year. Who do the lobbying? Among others, ex tnembers of the Senate and House. Congress ional Quarterly did a head count of these "exes" and found that 68 of them are listed among the 4,216 individuals and organiza tions registered under the lobbying law. "Potomac fever" has gripped them, and if they can latch onto a tweet payroll, they just do not return to Secaucus. Most of the retired legislator! combine free-lance lobby ing with a law practice or other occupation. One former congressman registered for 43 groups since 1947; many have more than ten registrations, among them ex-Sen. Scott W. Lucas of Illinois, ex-Sen. James P. Kem of Missouri and ex-Rep. J. Hardin Peterson of Florida. ;t The "children of light" are quite as active .In lobbying at the "children of darkness." Ex-Rep. Clyde T. Ellis It general manager of the National Rural Electric Cooperative asso ciation (the REAs), and Ex-Rep. Jerry Voor his who lost his California teat to Richard Nixon back in 1946, is executive director of the Cooperative League of the USA. - , Former members have one privilege which helps get them assignments.

It if Just part of the "democratic procesa." The chore it to ' keep it open and aboveboard. As for the em- ployment of former members of Congresi for ' lobbying, they must eat, and with liberal x . pense accounts tome of them may eat higher ' on the hog than when they were memberi and had to entertain delegationi from their home "dcestricks." Routing Highway 20 The recommendation of the Chamber of Commerce highway committee that ah effort be made to reroute U. S. highway 20 through Salem drew a counter-blast from Albany as might have been expected. Present routing for the highway is from Santiam pass via Lebanon, Albany, and Corvallis to Newport. The Democrat-Herald accuses Salem of "go ing out after the heritages of Llnny Benton -and Lincoln counties." It offers this cold comment: "This plan adds support to the raiher gener al opinion throughout the state that Salem is a bit greedy. Already profiting hugely at the ex pense of the rest of the state through location of public institutions there, Salem Is constantly reaching out after still greater profit from pub lic sources, you hear all around." We hadn't been hearing it, but perhaps our hearing is less sharp than formerly. For our part, we doubt if the number, of tourists sticking to Highway 20 is big enough to quarrel about. Just how many start in the. East or Midwest and hug Highway 20 across the continent to the shore of the Pacific at Newport? Probably very few. Usually they have a general routing selected, with specific points for turnouts or for destination. Those who reach the summit of the Cascades at Santiam Pass have a choice to go on to Al bany, and Newport or to Salem, just as they have at Sisters a choice of coming this way or going over McKenzie. Pass to Eugene. The Statesman isn't favorably impressed with the recommendation of the local high- way committee because it thinks the chance for changing the routing is slim and the .need for it small. It favort "peaceful coexistence" with Albany and Corvallis. Endorsement for Justice Luxk While The Statesman's "Political Parade" is held free from staff editing, we do not want it to "become a vehicle for false or er roneous statements. The Monday contribu tion in behalf of L. B. Sandblast, who is a candidate for Position No. 5 on the Supreme Court, contains, comment which should be corrected. Sandblast wrote: "For example the average yearly opinion per judge has been up to about 46. The present oc cupant of Position No. S averaged 17 decisions in the past two years." Note the weasel wording "has been up about 46." The record shows in 1954 the av erage number of opinions written per judge wat 27.6 and in 1955 23.86. Justice Hall S. Lusk, who it the incumbent of Position No. 8 wrote 25 opinions in 1954 and 27 in 1955. The Sandblast aspersion it thus refuted. No informed person takes seriously the candidacy of Sandblast, a chronic, unsuccess ful candidate for office. Judge Lusk't fame tests not on the number of opinions he has written but on the high quality of hit opin ions and on his able counsel in interpreting th 1-w in cases where he does not write the court'i opinion.

Another possibility it Val Peterson, former governor '.ot Nebraska, who hat been director of civil rdefense. Peterson wat an, early, Ike man, ralong with McKay and Langlie. He hat had the thanklest job of bossing civil defense for ' an indifferent population. It may be that the President will reward him with thit cabinet " post. Both he aftd Davit are from Nebraska. Cat case where Nebraska attorney wat busy scattering around oil money showed enough guts to censure severely the two at torneys who were Involved. The committee report also said that the president of the oil company who had supplied the dough, could not escape responsibility for what the law yers did with hit money. The money wat peddled at campaign con tributions, but the money-spreaders took paint to see that it went where senators were tupporting the bill favored by the big oil companies. It wat pretty shabby business, and the exposure helped to spotlight the mechanics of contributing to campaigns. One can't help wondering, however, if the pol i iticiant aren't more inclined to censure Law yer Neff for ttupidity rather than venality. He surely had a poor tense of timing. Is Gov.

Stewart Alaa By STEWART ALSOff WASHINGTON Are President Eisenhower's subordinates so eager to protect him from worry and strain that matters of great international Importance are con- e e a I e d from him. or their significance ob scured? Thit question it prompted by the President's answers to cer tain questions at his most recent prest confer ence. Was twice asked whether 'C he and Prime Minister Anthony Eden had been In recent com ' munication about the Middle - Eastern crisis. Ha wat tpecifl-, . cally asked whether Eden had recently tent him an important , message stressing the gravity of the crisis, and the urgent . need for taking action to bead off the danger. . . , The President seemed honestly puzzled by the questions. Prime ' Minister Eden and he quite often i exchanged messages, he said, : and they often contain reference! . to the Middle East. But, he said, ' "I am certain tt is no recent thing they must be talking ; about." He was rare he said, that there had been no message from Eden since "some time be fore" he went to White Sulphur Springi on March 24th. - He speculated that perhaps "They are talking about a re- cent message I haven't received yet." Overall, he left the Wrong : impression that there had been ' no new, urgent, or important views expressed by Prime Min ister Eden on the Middle Eastern crisis. Asked whether the Brit ish had been pressing the Admin istration to take a firmer line In the Middle East, the President replied: "Well, if they have, they haven't pressed me." These Presidential responses art mysterious. The qoestioM were largely prompted by a re port, whirh first appeared a week ago la thit space in a dlspairh from London, that Eden had sent n grave message to the President stressing the growing danger In the Middle East, and the argent need for batle Joint policy do ehrioM for dealing with the crisis. This report was confirmed and elaborated la subsequent dis patches la the British prest and elsewhere. The facts, which are Indisputa ble, are as follows: About two weeks ago a high official of the American Embassy in London was summoned to hear the views of Trime Minister Eden. Grave- , ly and even frimly, the Prime Minister held forth at length about the danger in the Middle East and the pressing need for joint decisions and action by the Anglo-American allies. Eden Indicated that be bad called In the American official to make sure that the President knew his views of the situation. The American was naturally Im pressed by tha responsibility In volved la reporting a statement to grave at the Prime Minis ter's. Ho therefore asked Kdea't permission it quote nun ver batim on certain points, to as sure absolute aeenraey. Edra thereupon himself wrote eat a menace, clearly Intended tor the President, which Included the warning that major decisions might be not just a matter of days, but even a matter of hours. Such are the facts. In view of these facts, there seem to be only three ways of explaining the President's answers to his press conference questions. One theoretical explanation It that the President, for diplomatic or other reasons, was being dis ingenuous. But this explanation Line Announced DETROIT, Mich.

But II seems hard U believe that even the State Department, could lose, track of an extremely Important message on n major International crisis from the British Prime Minister, in which the Prime Minister himself laid heavy em phasis an the hour-by-hour urg enry of the crisis. The only other conceivable ex planation is that the message from Eden was not transmitted to the President at all. or trans mitted in such a way that its sig nificance was wholly obscured. This seems the most likely ex- -planation. It is also the most disturbing. Even before the President's heart attack, there was a strong tendency te go to great Irnglhs to spare him unnecessary worry. Since the attack, the tendency has been greatly strengthened. Thit It natural eaoaga nnd oven laudable within limits.

Oranquist of the Internal Revenue Service to taxpayers who itemize deductions on page 2 of Form 1040 for 1955. , Interest on personal indebted ness is deductible, generally speaking, but only according to very definite rules. One of the most commn cases of deductible interest is that of Interest paid by a taxpayer on a mortgage on his home. Month ly mortgage payments usually contain several components. The Interest component is deduct ible. Taxpayers should obtain t ttatement from the mortgage holder in order' to determine the exact amount of interest paid during the taxable year. Other common types of psy mentt which include deductible ' interest are". Judgments, Delin quent tax payments. Personal loans, Installment purchases. ''' The 1954 Code made one lm-' portant change in the allow ance, of interest as t deduction on the tax return. The new law provides a deduction for inter est paid for purchasing personal property (such as automobiles, radios, television etc., etc.) on the installment plan where the interest charges are not sep arately stated from other car rying charges. This deduction it equal to V of the average un paid monthly balance under the . contract, but the interest de- durtion may not exceed the por tion of the total carrying charges attributable to the tax able year. The new deduction applies to installment payments made after December 81, 1953, even if the purchase wat madt in a previous year. a a Installment purchases are a fixed sum plus certain carry ing charges, It it usually known UH ' that these separate carrying charges contain Interest and other charges, such as service charge., and ..credit charge. .For years 'beginning after Decem ber 31. 1953, an Individual will be allowed to deduct an amount for interest, if he has chosen to itemize of all his allowable de ductions on page 2 of Form 1040, even tf the exact amount of interest being paid in the In stallment is not known. If the exact amount of interest can be determined, then that amount must be deducted as in prior years. Although the new law pro vides as an interest deduction 6 of the average monthly un paid balance, the new 6 rate is intended at an annual rate. Therefore, as in the following example, the total of the unpaid monthly balances Is always di vided by 12 to get the average balance. This process it true even if fewer than 12 payments are made in any single year. Example ef Computing . . Deduction On January 10, 1959, A pur chased "a home freezer for $254. After a down payment of $50, the balance, including a stated carrying charge of $20, was to be paid in 18 monthly install ments of $14 each, on the 10th day of each month commencing with February. Assuming that A is a cash-basis, calendar-year taxpayer and that no other in stallment purchases were made in 1954, the portion of the car rying charges deductible as in terest is computed as follows: Unpaid balance and carrying cnargi ln iw i . lwoo 1800 .,- IKS 00 IUM Ml . 12S.00 I n:oo s oo , 14.00 i (Continued from page ane.) reference. This committee intends to support the district budget. One of its spokesmen said: "All of us see defects in the school system, but we feel that defeat ing the budget is not the way to correct these deficiencies." The significance of this news lies in the attack on "state stand ards" with mounting taxes the needle to stir the rebellion. In volved also is a recurring demand that schools teach the "funda mentals." They are accused now of spending too much time on frills. The ' recent flareup over the Flesch book, "Why Johnny Can't Read" is another sign of lack of confidence in the school system. This tgitation seems to be a form of nostalgia, a homesick ness for the past, but actually; for a past that never was. The schools of old failed to teach all their students to read and to spell and to do arithmetic. They struggled with meagre facilities, with poorly trained teachers and the wonder is they did as well as they did. Comparative studies that are accurately based usually show a higher level of accom plishment today than in the past. Much of the progress in our schools has been due to state supervision, state encouragement and sometimes to state compul sion. What are the state standards that arc complained of? For one thing, the school plant must be acceptable; but the supervisory authorities have exercised broad tolerance in . this respect, con sidering the financial ability of the district as well as the need for an adequate and comfortable school plant. In the case of new buildings local enthusiasms or de sires usually carry well beyond any requirement of the state de partment of education. 1 The State Board of Education under authority of law does ap prove the general course of study, but generous latitude is allowed local districts. The extension of courses beyond the three-Rs is due to the necessity of a broader education in this complex society. The state is the authority gov erning certification of teachers. But surely the Roseburg rebels are not proposing that this be , abandoned. Fundamental to good teacher is good preparation of teachers. That Job is being done better all the time. Our schools are by no means perfect school people are first to admit that. But the deficien cies are not state-imposed. On any valid evaluation, our schools will rank high when one considers the conditions under which they operate: universal compulsory at tendance to age 18 and the gear ing of progress to a relatively low average. Ftbmary (S254J0-IC) April t May 1 Juna 1 Julv 1 Auaust 1 8ep(embr i November t JMcamber 1 Total monthly unpaid balances . fl.tSyX) To arrive at the average un paid balance for 1933, divide the $1.(94 by 12 months, which re - suits In the average unpaid bal ance being $141.17 and multiply this by 6 which is the rate pre scribed by the 1954 law, and the result is the interest of $8.47 to be taken as a deduction on page 2 of Form 1040. " The new law states that the portion of the carrying charge deductible at interest cannot ex ceed the total carrying charges allocable to the taxable year. In order to see if this limitation would apply to the above exam ple, take the total carrying charges of $20 and divide by 16, which would result in $1.25 per month; then take the total of the months involved which are February through December, or 11 months and multiply by $1.23 per month which results in $13.75 the amount of carrying charges allocable to the taxable year. Since the regular computation re sults in a deduction of $8.47 which is less than the limitation figure of $13.73, the individual may deduct the full $8.47. County Roads In Woodburn Area Named Four county roads in the Wood burn area were given new official names at Monday's session ef Marian County Court.-.. County Road 530, an easterly extension of Lincoln St. In Wood burn, became East Lincoln Road. It was formerly known at Jones Road in the county records.
