MORE ON TV A RATES There would be few, we think, to deny that the argument most frequently used on behalf of valley authority proposals is thaf under an authority a region can be assured of "low cost power". TVA's rates are cited as showing what can be done by way of providing electric power at a low figure and the conclusion is drawn that other valley regions can enjoy like benefits if placed under authority control. Four years ago when the first Mitchell bill for a CVA was under discussion proponents were constantly citing TVA's low rates. If anybody wants evidence let him look up the Mort Tompkins effusions and the editorials in the Oregon grange bulletin. Let him look up the affirmative argument when the question came before the Portland City Club. Let him exam ine the congressional record of that period. If evidence of a later day is desired one can go again to the congressional record. On March 2 the new MVA bill was in troduced. Senator Humphrey, of Minnesota, made his maiden speech as one who had joined in introducing the bill. The speech was devoted almost entirely to a discussion of power, power rates and, in particular, to a comparison between TVA and other rates. Representative Rankin, on March 29, in serted in the record a table showing the amount of electricity used in each state in 1947 and, as he put it, the savings that would have occurred if it had been applied at the TVA, the Tacoma, the Bonneville or the Ontario rates. . Neither Senator Humphrey nor Representative Rankin was sufficiently interested to present a completely honest rate .picture by making allowances in their rate comparisons for the cost differences that exist as between TVA and private utilities. Such differences do exist, however, and no fair com parisons can be made unless these differences are taken into account. The Oregonian editor who wrote on the TVA quoted a former TVA official to the effect that in rate comparisons allowances should be made for them. Allowances for taxes are made in a table of typical power bills found in the Hoover commission task force report on water resources projects and the results are generally favorable to the private utility per formance. As a matter of fact there are various costs that TVA avoids beyond those interest, taxes and full power investment re cently discussed in this column in comment on one of the Ore gonian TVA articles. And all of these various costs, let it be noted, are costs that a private utility must meet. There is interest"rurin construction, there are the costs of employe accident compensation, there are full depreciation and a mul titude of imposts and excise tax charges. It has always seemed to us that whether one favored public power or private power the only fair and honest thing when ' nnmnomnr fVio ftifrt Woo A toll fill trio fonts PpW if !1 tl T VillloV VVlll)J.l lug V-rf V - w ' v 1 ' " -. . .

Just so long, however, as all of us are being taxed to pay interest on the bonds whose proceeds went to build the TVA region we are being drained for its benefit. And the national debt being what it is we are going to be taxed for some time to come. And, also, the more authorities the more taxes. Others Say "GUYS JUST I.IKE YOU AND ME" (Oregon Statesman) Bob McKean represents Colum bia Empire Industries, Inc., an or ganization composed chiefly of manufacturers, at the state legis lature. He sends out frequent bulletins to members acquainting them with the progress of legisla tion in which they may be Inter ested. His last letter, whichh e signs as Robert R. McKean, Lob byist (without apology), offers the following comment lubeled "General": We are now getting down to the tail of the session. It can't last much longer; maybe 10 days, per haps two weeks. Everybody is tired. Nerves are frayed. Tempers are brittle. These legislators have boon down here now for close to 90 clays, on a generally thankless Job, at a loss of money to themselves, I endeavoring to do a sincere and) honest lob for their state and fel-' low citizens. Do you give 'em the works when they do things with which you do not agree? If so, or if not so, give them a pat on the back when they do things which you do like. Wc all like a word of thanks. We all appreciate It. After all, they are Just human beings. Guys Just like you and me. Our fellow citizens. That's a pretty good comment. Summer School Meeting Slated Selection of summer school scholarship winners and the horsemanship contest for the county fair will be discussed at a meeting of the Deschutes county 4-H club leaders association Ap ril 14 at the Deschutes county fair grounds, It was announced today by Ponald L.

The tube was filled with dirt last night, along with the two res cue shafts dug to save Kalhy. These 00 men and women have la bored for nearly 30 days trying to do a good Job for Oregon. They deserve credit, not abuse, for their labors; and on the whole their record promises to merit a pretty good rating. DENTISTRY Dr. H. E.

Some speculated that when wa ter came seeping into the rescue shaft early Sunday, the water lev el in the old well casing also was raised enough to cover Kathy's body. Others believed she may have struggled to reach a rope dropped to her early in the rescue attempt and slipped farther down the shaft until the water covered her. WORK SPONTANEOUS San Marino, Cal., April 11 UP The herculean job of trying to res cue little Kathy Fiscus Irom an underground prison was organiz ed spontaneously, and all labor and equipment used in the two day task was donated. Fast as the word spread that the three-year-old child was trap ped nearly 100 feet underground in an old well, scores of volunteer rescue workers flocked to the scene. Consulting engineer Raymond Hill was regarded as leader al most automatically because he was an old friend of the Fiscus family and knew how to handle problems involved in tne complex job of sinking a rescue shaft. . Ail BKiuea He relied for assistance and ad vice on Don Metz, another engi neer and friend of the Fiscus lam ilv. All the skilled technicians who joined in the rescue effort gave freely of their own knowl edge of special problems. Use ol thousands 01 aouars worth of machinery was donated by construction companies tnat heard the call for help. The well-digger that sunk tne rescue shaft ordinarily earns its owner $300 a day. -Vvorkmen like H. E. ( Whitey) blickensderter anu Bill Yancey who -spent perilous hours ueep underground would earn three dollars or more an hour. It was est mated that an aban doned snalt dug 85 feet,deep with power shovels would nave cost $50,000. Other estimates placed the price of the entire jou well over $100,000, if it had been done commercially. And Hill said that no price could be put on the bravery and disregard for personal safety that characterized rescuers' efforts. "No men would work as hard as these men did or take the risks the? took for any amount of money," ne said.

THIS IS cot Photography A question often heard over the counter at the Camera Dept. at Symons Bros, goes as follows: "Why is it that now I have a new expensive camera, my prints are not as good as I obtained with my old box camera?" ' To be blunt but honest, It's generally because you have not learned to use it properly. A simple box camera gets av erage pictures under average conditions and all you have to do is click the shutter. The more complex camera permits you to get better prints un der all conditions including ad verse ones. But you have to do three important things: (1) focus or set the camera foot age scale for the distance from the lens to subject ... (2) set the shutter speed not less than 150 second for hand held shots and faster for ac tion shots . . . (3) set the ap erture or diaphragm opening at correct F number in rela tionship to shutter speed, film speed, and existing lighting conditions. This you obtain from an exposure meter, me chanical guide, or the printed chart that is usually enclosed with the film. Sound simple? It is! Al though, it may not seem so and you may marvel at your friends who seem so wise with their "f11 at a 150" etc., it's, not nearly so complicated a it may seem. However, if you can't be bothered . . . pre set your cam era at 150 second, F11, and at 10 or 15 feet and just click the shutter. With black-and-white film you will get pic tures most of the time. After you feel that you have mastered the intrica.sles of ex posure, perhaps you'll get the urge to do something "differ ent." Perhaps there's an- old broken down house in which no one Is living that you know of. If the porch sags, so murh the belter. Get your best friend to don an old pair of overalls, fondle an old corncob pipe, broken chair and maybe an old jug, and you'll have a pic ture that will liven up your album and bring a laugh to all who see it. Ingenuity more often than not will furnish you with a picture when you fall to find one staring you in the face. Give it some thought. It could be fun.
