Big Campaign Pursea Required
Already Democrats have begun to predict
lush campaign funds for Dbuglaa McKay, can
. didate for the U. S. Senate. Business, they
say, is determined to beat Morse and will put
up plenty of money to do the job. There is a
lot of truth ia that Morse is cordially hated
and many persons in other states are willing
to chip in to help finance his opponent's cam
paign. But dont think Morse will be penniless. He
has always been a generous spender, snd in
his previous campaigns, business was a gener- (
out contributor to his campaign fund (Oregon
business men picked up the tab for the Morse
deficit in 1944). We note in the Sheridan Sun
a news item from Willamina to the effect that
a Morse campaign office for this congression
al district is being set up in the old post of
fice building there "with Don Mitchell, well '
known Democrat In charge." The item goes
on to say: "Four secretaries are employed,
with more expected to be added as the cam
paign gets underway." If the state is to be
covered with Morse campaign offices si fully
manned as this, with the other costs of pro
motion, literature, radio and television, Morse
will require a sizable campaign fund. A lot '
of that is expected from labor's political ac
tion committees. Locating the first district of
fice in Willamina may indicate that the focus
of the Morse drive will be for the labor vote,
since Willamina is the center for woods work
er unions.
Republicans will have plenty of dough, but
don't think for a minute that Morse is going
to run a barefoot boy campaign.
Wooing the Women
Congressional Quarterly, which does statis
tical work on performance of congressmen
and studies the political scene, comes up with
the prediction that more women than men
will vote this year. . That will be the first time
in the 36 years of woman suffrage that this
has occurred, but the trend is clearly in that
direction.
mind campaign committees are
being set up to woo the votes of the women,
Each national committee has a woman's divis
ion. Miss Bertha Adkins heads the GOP wom
en's section and Mrs. Katie Lourhheim that of
the Democrats. Yhen there are numerous side
organisations designed to give an outlet for
women in politics.
Four years ago President Eisenhower was
credited with getting the bulk of the women's
vote, and that is expected to be repeated this
year.
Candidates, if they expect to win, cant
stop with kissing the babies and wowing the
men. They must woo the women, too.
Senators Morse and Neubcrger accuse
White House aides of doing some arm-twisting
to get votes against the Morse bill for a
federal power project in Hells Canyon. Welt

"EFFECTED"- -OUCH
Te the Editor:
1 differ with your editorial
comment about Ingrid Bergman
and her return to America te ap
pear on a TV show. Yon say:
"We ran think of no great seg
ment of the population which
will be materially interested
or effected."
I recall my days in the service
that Ingfid was one of the favor
ite actresses of a large portion of
the servicemen, not in the uxual
,DiniiB
(though she would
have adequately qualified on that
score, aim) but because she was
regarded as an actress of unusu
al ability. I don't happen to have
a TV set and about the only pro
gram m tar that I will make a
real effort to see regularly is
"Sergeant Bilko." However, whea
Ingrid Bergman appears on Sul
livan's TV show, I think I'll try
to see at least 'a few of her ap
pearancesalong with many eth
er millions who will cerjainly be
interested. . '
Now as to the ether part of
your comment as to how many
wiU be "effected." that will be
somewhat difficult to say. How
ever, I have no doubt that
throughout the country the de-
her actions. Many will be effected
enough to denounce her and
many to perhaps arise te her de-
tense, or at least te point out
that her errors, while more pub
licised, were aa mare critical
than is common amongst a fair
portion of Hollywood's glamour
girls.
Actually, I think we make
about the same kind of a mistake
the Nazis did, and the Commu
nists do, when we insist on too
close a tie between talent and
morals. It isn't very practical to
do otherwise, -for unfortunately
' a large portion of the people
with unusual talents seem to be
rascals in some way or anoUirr.
STEVE ANDERSON
Sl'RPRISED
To the Editor
1 am a little surprised your
rebuttal to my recent letter re
garding the Oregon tax mess is
based upon the alibi of the Re
publicans that the present tax
law is the same as that proposed
by the Democrats. This eicuse
is inaccurate and demonstrates
again the unwillingness of Re
publicans in the legislature to
accept responsibility,' and yet
ask us te re-elect them to con
tinue their control of the legis
lature. Just to set the record straight.
Ihe present Us law is similar
to the Democrats plan in only
one respect. That is tn the sur
tax method. However, the surtax
levied by the Republicans is 50
per cent greater, than what the
Democrats proposed. In all other
respects the two plans differ.
The Republicans reduced per
sonal exemption and dependency
credits from Soe to $500. This
reduction was opposed by the
Democrats from the beginning
as It automatically increased
taxes above what was neces
sary. The Democrats felt every-,
one should share in the tax load
and recemmeaded an increase
In corporate excise taxes. The
Renuhlicana refused to do n
preferring to load the Individual
as much as possible. These dis-
similarities between the plans
lull add up te makt a differ
ence to Individual taxpayers, on
an average, af about 120 on each
1100 of taxes paid
I don't expect the Republicans
to stop trying to avoid 'respon
sibility for their unpopular tax
handling, but I also don't expert
the public to he fooled by their
claim that "the Democrats did
It." After all, who, but the Re
publicans, have had the strong
legislative majority all these
years to enact or defeat any tax
plan they chose?

EOl'R CORNERS WATER
DISTRICT
To the Editor:
: In the news item of July 1
about the Four Corners Water
issue it was stated that a dis
trict is needed "because increase
in septic tanks and wells will
eventually lower the water level
and make con Lamination of
watrr greater each year." How
ever, the clay strata underlying
the area prevents downward
seepage and if a well is prop
erly cased, it wil defy surface
contamination. Any competent
well driller will confirm this
statement.
In regard to "increased valua
tion'' a prominent Salem invest
ment house sought and received
a lower valuation oa its proper
ties. Homeowners are net inter-
. ested in increasing their as
sessed valuation and taxes,
either. '
Almost every one' df the dis
tricts in the Salem-Portland area
is in some difficulty. The Port-
' land group was rationing water;
the Capitol Highway district was
rationing water; the Salem
Heights and Liberty distorts
must mote aad re-lay mLins
and hydrants; the Amity district
had plugged lines and was ra
tioning water.
The amall reduction In fire in
surance rates in going from
Class t to Class 7 would be
more -than offset by the cost of
hydrants and equipment.
The water corporations are
forever and their taxing powers '
are set by law. Many residents
do not care to be burdened by
extra taxes and regulations.

Name for New
AF Base Eyed
By Committee
Aa appropriate name for the
new Air Force base to be built
north of Salem will be discussed
soon by the citisens' liaison com
mittee representing Salem aad
various towns interested ia the
base development in their area.
Some sentiment has developed
for a name like "Marion County
Air Base." it was reported Friday
by EHon H. Thompson, Salem
Chamber of Commerce leader and
chairman of the recently-formed
Air Base committee.
Saggerts Naming
U.S. Rep. Walter Norblad wrote
Thompson from Washington that
he thought a better descriptive
name should be proposed 'for the
facility now generally identified by
the Air Force as the Greater Port
land Air Base.
Norblad said correspondence
reaching him also has referred to
the Air Base in relation to French
Prairie, St. Paul or Woodbura.
Because of hi distance from Port
land, wrote Norblad. "it should
hardly carry the latter name." He
offered to transmit to the A I r
Force a name suggestion from the
committee.
Other T apart Eyed
At the recent organiiation meet
ing of the committee, members
asked Marion County and the vari
ous cities' officials to study local
laws and regulatory powers that
could be applied to exercise some
control over type of housing that
would develop near the base.
Thomnnn said some research
is being done on this problem, and""0' money m the conduct
when preliminary reports are
ready he probably will call a
meeting of the committee. At that
time, the matter of a name for
the base will be takes up, he pre
dicted.

employes and to establish Salary
advances providing a more realis

Gov, Smith pointed out that the
1S55 Legislature, in addition to
making rather extensive improve
ments in the employes retirement
system, provided for improvement
bi state salaries by approving
budgets that contained sufficient
funds to provide for normal merit
increases.
He said the legislature also pro
vided a fund of $2,774,000 for re
adjustment of the compensation of
state employes, increased salaries
for most department heads, and
at the aame time amended t h e
state Civil Service law ts provide
for a continuing salary survey pro
gram.
"These actions demonstrate a
legislative intent to do everything
possible to maintain equitable
salaries for all state workers,"
Gov. Smith said. He noted that
the state Department of Fiaance
and Administration and the state
Civil Service Commission are now
conducting studies of salary bud
gets and salary ranges. .
Gov. Smith said he hoped that
increases may be provided for
classes of positions that are found
not to be competitive on the cur
rent labor market out of appropri
ations that currently exist.
"Any salary deficiencies that
cannot be corrected as a result of
these studies will be reflected in
a salary report to be made to all
niembers of the legislature ea
Dec. I," the governor said.
