WHEN THE SURPLUS IS GONE
In Governor McKay's excellently summarized discussion
of Oregon's resources, its remarkable growth and the prob
lems which confront it, the pleasingly large audience here
yesterday noon found unfailing cause for interest. Every
thing that he presented was important, some things natural
ly more than others. He gave facts and his analyses were
logical and realistic.
Never one to borrow trouble, the governor nevertheless
recognizes trouble when he sees it. He told his hearers of
what can happen in taxation when the surplus accumulated
from income levies in wartime and early post-war years is
exhausted. Demands for increased services, the needs brought
about by a suddenly increased population are depleting the
surplus. Perhaps in two years, perhaps in four, it may be
gone. A drop in taxable incomes will hasten the day.
And then, explained Governor McKay, Oregon must fall
back on property taxation, which has not been required at
state level for years.
The warning is one which we have given repeatedly. Gov
ernor McKay's statement is in confirmation of what we have
said. And his closing plea for closer, general interest in gov
ernment, suggests, we believe, the only way through which
the return of state property taxation and its attendant dis
aster may be averted.
THE BALL EXHIBIT
For sponsoring tne exhibit of paintings of W. M. Ball here
this week the Rotary club has earned more than a passing
word of appreciation. It was time that Bend should become
acquainted with the work of an artist who, in his four year
residence in Bend, has found inspiration for some of his
best landscapes. Once the. acquaintance was made, the many
who attended the showing realized that it was well worth
having.
In understanding and feeling, as well as craftsmanship,
Mr. Ball's paintings, done in the main for his own satisfaction
, and as a meant, of finding relaxation, have attained a con
vincing degree of excellence that at times becomes outstand
ing. A certain quality of fineness which they possess should
assure the permanency of the regard that is now accorded
them.
Being more than a bit prejudiced in favor of our own state,
and especially so in regard to that part of the state which
closely surrounds us, we are gratified to know that he has,
in addition to the completed work which was shown at the
Pilot Butte Inn Thursday, a well-filled portfolio of sketches
made in this area. We look forward to the time when they,
too, will have reached their. maturity on canvas and will be
available for exhibition.
The happy termination of a five day search in the Kelso
area for a lost girl scout was news of thtf best. The report,
as it came over the wires, seenied" almost the account of a
minor miracle. No less astounding was the statement of the
sheriff that the child had walked about 20 miles, "most of it
in a straight line," ending seven or eight miles from the spot
where she was originally reported missing. Euclid's defini
tion, it seems, will have to be revised to read, "the longest
distance between two points."
Portland, lacking more than $100,000 of the amount needed
to fill its community chest, may dip into a substantial cash
reserve to make up the need. Bend, also short, has no such
opportunity. Its reserve, accumulated in the war years, was
later exhausted in supplementing direct solicitation when
this brought insufficient results. Our advice to Portland
would be to keep its rainy day fund as nearly intact as pos
sible. The need for it in the future may be even greater than
it is now.

Couple Jailed
After Stolen
Jewelry Found
Perryton, Tex., Dec. 17 Mi A
former private detective and his
sweetheart were held today after
they led officers Friday to where
they hid $150,000 in stolen jew
elry, most of It in a deserted hog
pen. The man was Lloyd Edwin
Roberts, 24. formerly of Perry
ton and now a resilient of Dallas.
His girl friend was not identi
fied. Charges will be preferred
against them today.
The Jewelry, consisting of
rings, watches, necklaces and
other trinkets, were stoien from
a drug store here December 7.
Two jewelry salesmen had left
them in the store for safekeep
ing. Roberts came under suspicion
after Charles Smith, Perryton im
plement company employe, found
a dirty shirt and several empty
watch-cases near his shop this
week.
Shirt Traced
Officers traced the shirt to Rob
erta who worked here until re
cently in a bakery and at one
time was employed as a collec
tion agency investigator.
Roberts was seized at Dallas.
His girl friend was arrested here
and held in the Ochiltree county
jail after he implicated her.
Dallas county Sheriff Bill Deck
er said Roberts admitted that he
broke into the store, entering it
through an air-conditioning duct.
He said he found the jewelry
near the store's lock-box.
Last night Roberts led Decker
and other officers to where he
and the girl had hidden $50,000
worth of the loot near Dallas.
When told of Roberts' admis
sions, the girl led Ochiltree coun
ty Sheriff Ray Phagan to a de
serted farm six miles south of
here and showed him where they
had buried another 5100,000 worth
of gems in an empty hog-wallow.
Only one small valise contain
ing gems of unknown value was
not accounted for.
Decker said the jewels found
near Dallas had been buried in
an isolated section near the city.
Most of the jewels were still in
the cases that held them when
they were stolen.
Portland Scene
Of 2 Explosions '
Portland, Dec. 17 IH Dynamite
and gas explosions were report
ed in the Portland area last night,
resulting in critical injuries to at
least one man.
William S. Ziemer, a logger,
lost his left arm and suffered a
fractured left leg and other in
juries in the dynamite blast near
bandy, Ore. - state police said
Ziemer and his son, Clarence, 39,
were cleaning out a one-room
house and the injured man was
building a fire when the explosion
occurred. Officers said they be
lieved the blast was caused by
ignition of dynamite caps in the
fire. They said the dynamite ap
parently had been stored in the
stove.
The gas explosion rocked an
area of three to four blocks in
southeast' Portland when a large
gas oven in the Commercial Iron

WASHINGTON COLUMN
By Peter Edson
(NEA WaithinxtoQ Corrwlnindc-nt)
Washington (NEA) Republi
can Sen. Milton K. ioung ot
North Dakota is now caught in
the middle of a hot fight.
Involved is a moot question of
whether Vernon Scott, Chicago
representative of the National
Tax Equality associaticn uX Its
closely affiliated National Asso
ciated Businessmen, offered to
raise $10,000 campaign funds for
Young if he would join the war
against the fanner co-operatives
and other co-op business enter
prises. Since Senator Young is up for
re-election in 1950, the fight Is ot
considerable importance to him.
He has returned to Washington
and has announced that he will
denounce the National Tax Equal
ity association on the floor of
the senate when congress con
venes. Young says: "The N.T.E.A.
methods in this matter have been
rotten, and you can quote me
on that."
On the other hand, Scott has
issued a statement saying that
Senator Young asked him how
much campaign money he could
raise, and that he Scott didn't
volunteer the Siff.OOO.
Scott's Washington partner, Lo-
ring Schuler. says Scott went to
Young's office as a representa
tive of the National Associated
Businessmen with which the
North Dakota Tax Equality Com
mittee, Inc., is affiliated and not
as a representative of National
Tax Equality association.
Anyway, Schuler says that
Scott had noted Senator Young
was marked for defeat by Na
tional Farmers' Union and other
organizations next year. Scott
asked trie senator if North Da
kota businessmen had done any
thing to help him. When Senator
Young told him they hadn't, Scott
proposed in effect: "Why don't
you do something for them? If
you do, maybe we'll help you."
Behind this incident, however,
there had been another issue be
tween Senator Young and Scott.
It grew out of a letter sent to
the senator by a North Dakota
farmer. The letter complained
that the U.S. bureau of internal
revenue was trying to collect In
ederalSavings
ujjAND.LOAN ASSOC
IATI0N
Whole Pack in a
come taxes from this farmer on
a patronage dividend stock cer
tificate from a North Dakota co
operative, the Fanners' Union
Grain Terminal association. The
farmer demanded Young do some
thing about this himself.
Senator Young says he got 110
telegrams and letters of a simi
lar nature. It seemed to him nn
organized protest campaign. Me
picked out this one fanner's let
ter for reply, answering all ques
tions raised on income taxes ap
plying to co-op dividends. The
senator then sent out about two
dozen copies of the farmer's let
ter and his reply to other corre
spondents, as answers to the
charge that co-op dividends
dodged taxes.
a a
One of these mailings fell Into
the hands of the North Dakota
Tax Equality committee, which
requested permission to repro
duce the letters as part of a cam
paign against the co ops. Senator
Young refused permission to use
the letters in this way.
A few days af'er congress nd
Journed, the North Dakota Tax
Equality committee mailed out
an anti-co-op propaganda leaflet,
reproducing the letters without
naming the farmer or the sena
tor. As soon as Senator Young
heard about this, he came for
ward and identified himself as
the senator. At- the same time
he accused the Tax Equality leaf
let of having twisted his letter's
meaning to its own use and of

his accusation that the otter had
been made "to raise $10,000 or
more in campaign funds from
sources which have opposed me

Loring Schuler says the sena
