GROWTH OF A SURPLUS
In contrast with national government deficit financing (in
creasing indebtedness) and state depletion of treasury sur
plus (forecasting dire emergency for the not distant future)
there is local reassurance in the sound position which has not
only been attained but is being continued in school district
management. As we say this we realize fully that a strong
plus factor for the district is as strongly minus where the
state is concerned, the district benefiting from the distribu
tion of state funds as the disbursement reduces the balance
in the Oregon treasury. Such assistance, however, has not de
terred other districts from plunging deeply into debt while
the administration of the Bend school system adheres to its
pay-as-you-go program.
The audit report for the past fiscal year serves to remind us
of the program's effectiveness. No bonds to worry about, no
warrant debt, and money in the bank when the year ended.
That the district had a much better rating than that of
being even with the board calls for further explanation. It
lies in budgeting, in the under-estimating of cash on hand
(budgets are of necessity compiled well in advance of the end
of the old fiscal year and the beginning of the new) and the
over-estimating of expenses to be met. Both were involved in
the 1948-49 budget and the result was reported by the audi
tor as a $98,860.16 surplus on June 30. In justification of this
he observes that "quite substantial reserves are necessary at
July first if the district is to remain on a cash basis during the
first three to four months of the school year".
The reason for this, is, of course, that the fiscal year and
the tax-paying year do not coincide. The fiscal year begins on
July 1. The tax-paying year on the levy for that fiscal period
begins on November 15, with its final quarterly payment date
on August 15 of the following fiscal year. So the district (and
the city and the county) is behind one quarter in income in
relation to authorized expenditures. Last quarter tax pay
ments, it is true, do not amount to much ; discounts on Novem
ber 15 for cash stimulate early remittance. Still there is a
lag. Budget cushioning, by which we mean under-estimating
receipts and over-estimating expenditures, takes care of the
problem. It removed the necessity for borrowing this fall
when construction bills in addition to ordinary operation costs
were to be met.
Yet, regardless of its convenience and the seeming need for
it, cushioning is not contemplated in the local budget law.
The stated expenditures for the fiscal year are supposed to be
met by the levy for that year and cash on hand at the end of
the previous year and receipts, other than taxes, reasonably to
be expected are required to be applied in reducing the tax
levy. To meet this requirement, closer estimating would be
in order.
Hullett Reveals
Sale of Timber
PHneville, Dec. 22 Henry C.
Hullelt, supervisor of the Ochoco
national lorest, yesterday report
ed the closing of a timber sale in
volving some 50.000,000 board feet
of ponderosa pine.
The sale was negotiated with
the Edward Hines Lumber com
pany which began' operations on
the tracts on a sustained yield
basis in 194G.
It was known as the Emigrant
creek ssle and included two areas,
one in the Cow Hollow and the
other in the Black butte district.
In the harvest of the timber
the Hines company, which truck
ed the logs to its plant at Burns,
was required to build 40 miles of
main, access roads and an addi
tional 150 miles of spur roads.
Timber on the two tracts scaled
out a total of 70,166.080 board feet,
valued at $502,631.84. In addition
the company made cooperative de
posits as follows: Slash disposal,
$36,746.57; and timber stand im
provement work, S24.0S0.04.
Acquired In Exchange
At the end of the 3 '4 years on
which the Hines company has
been operating on the Emigrant
creek sale, the company is now
moving to lands acquired in a
land exchange at the southwest
corner of the Snow mountain dis
trict of the Ochoco forest, which
wil require an additional 25 miles
of primary access roads. Son;
of the roads also will be avail
able in serving the harvest of a
72,000,000-foot sale made to the
company last year. During the
next four or five years the com
pany will split its operations be
tween the two areas.
The Hines sale, which is just
being closed out, was made when
OPA legulations were in effect.
The company did not make the
full harvest in the time of the con
tract, which was extended fcr a
year. As a result of the end of
OPA regulations, a reappraisal
was made with the result that the
stumpage price was Increased
from 54.50 to S13.20 per 1,000
board feet. Substantial increases
also were required on the coopera
tive deposits made with, the for
est service.
Hullett reported that a 72,000,
OOO foot sale in the forest to the
Ochoco Lumber Co., the mill of
which is located here, will be
closed out next year.

WASHINGTON COLUMN
lUtUilUlKKIUItIN
By Peter Edson
(NEA Washington Correspondent)
Washington (NEA) The new-two-headed
turtle Just acquired
by the fish and wildlife service
for the department of commerce
aquarium in Washington may be
a heaven-sent political sign of the
limes. It is a perfect emblem for
the new coalition political party
suggested by republican Sen.
John W. Bricker of Ohio.
The combination of old-line re
publicans and southern demo
crats which Senator Bricker pro
poses would like the two-headed
pitcher in Duffy's tavern "cer
tainly be a novelty." Senator
Bricker says it is the only thing
that would end the 17-year reign
of the new dealers. But there are
plenty of indications it would
have all the characteristics of the
new two-headed turtle monstros
ity. Fish and wildlife service pub
lie relations people have been
awfully busy here of late, issu
ing handouts about this animal.
Had to think up a name for it,
and everything. Since it was
found originally in the Louisiana
swamps, there was some thought
of naming it after a former sena
tor from that state, who could
talk out of both sides of his
mouth at the same time. But they
finally settled for Siamese Sue,
though they're not sure it's a she,
and may never know.
A union of - republicans and
Dixiecrats might turn out like
that, too.
a a a
Siamese Sue replaces a two
headed salt-water terrapin which
the fish and wildlife aquarium
had on exhibit for a number of
years. According to the press
agents, this earlier two -headed
terrapin named Super Diamond
died of a splitting headache.
Super Diamond's two heads al
ways used to quarrel over a mor
sel of food, and snap at each
other real mean.
You can Just imagine the re
publican head of the Bricker po
litical freak quarreling with the
Dixiecrat head over what to do
about, say, the civil rights pro
gram. Siamese Sue, according to her
keepers, hasn't yet developed this
particular difficulty about feed
ing at the public trough. She
or it lets one head take a bite.
Then the other head takes an
other bite. That way the two
heads get along fine.
This forced feeding formula
would work all right in the Brick
er party when it came time to
divide up the pork barrel approp
riations. The Dixiecrat head
would get the first billion dollars
for the Mississippi river. Then
the republican head would get
the next billion dollars for the
St. Lawrence.
a a a
Siamese Sue has another split
personality complex, however,
and the Bricker political party
would have a hard time overcom
ing that. Whichever of Siamese
Sue's two heads thinks of an idea
first wins. Thus if one head de
cides it wants to go to the right
before the other head decides it
wants to go to the left, the thing
goes right.
As a political party. If the re
publican head decided it wanted
to keep to the right on some
issue like federal aid to education
before the Dixiecrat head entered
a motion to have it, the southern
side would be clear out of luck
and have to remain ignorant.
ThU trouble also applies when
one of Siamese Sue's heads de
cides It wants to stop and look
at something. It puts this policy
into effect at once, and the other
side is left there to wait, "gawk
ing absent-mindedly in the other
direction," as the press agent
says.
Supposing the republican head
of the Bricker two-headed party
decided it wanted to stop and in
vestigate what part White House
big-wi?s had in shipping uranium
to soviet Russia in wartime.
Wouldn't the democratic head be
embarrassed?
How do you suppose it's all
going to come out? Political scien
tists will be watching the develop
ment of Siamese Sue, down in the
basement of the commerce de
partment building, to sec if it
offers any clues.
Fremont Journal
December 23. The weather Is
mild; the thermometer al day
light 38'; the wind having been
from the southward -for several
days. The country has a very for
bidding appearance, presenting to
the eye nothing but sage and bar
ren ridges. We rode up towards
the mountains, along the foot of
which we found a lake, which we
could not approach on account of
mud: and, passing around Its
southern end, ascended the slope
at the foot of the ridge, where In
some hollows we hail discovered
bushes and small trees in such
situations, a sure sign of water.
We found here several springs,
and the hill side was well sprinkl
ed with a sjiecles of festuca a
better grass than we had found
for many days. Our elevated po
sition gave us a good view over
the country, but we discovered
nothing very encouraging. South
ward, about ten miles distant, was
another small lake, towards
which a broad trail led along the
ridge; and this appearing to af
ford the most practicable route, I
determined to continue our Jour
ney in that direction.
