The story told of legislation proposed by Senator Cordon changing the share to be received by the western Oregon counties irom the pro ceeds of the timber put on O&C lands, noted criticism of his action and reported the support of the senator voiced by a lumber association executive. The subject was one that had first appeared in the news some days ago. At that time the chief reaction was the placing of a critical advertisement by tnat perpetual sell-seeker," A. w. Latlerty. of Portland. , So far as we have observed pone of the newspapers in the " counties interestedthe O&C counties took note of this matter.: They knew the facts? we assumed, and knew that there, were no grounds for criticism. This Oregonian report shows that the talk continues, however, and we now want to tell the story. ; The facts show how right, not how wrong, Senator Cordon was. . ' Just about everybody knows that the O&C lands were once held by a railroad company under a federal grant and that the United States took them back from the company. The railroad had been paying taxes on these lands and legislation was enacted to insure the continued receipt of taxes by the counties from the federal government. ; The payments -were to come from the timber income. There had been deficiencies in the payments and to make them up extra percentages of the income had been voted. Most everbody knows, too, that in recent years there have been very heavy sales of O&C timber resulting in a large in come. And finally, they know that there a a demand for fed eral appropriations with which to build roads to reach the more distant timber access roads. ?'- --;-v.t - It may not be as generally known; but it is the f net, that as a result of the large income the tax deficiencies are how all made up. This being so Senator Cordon took steps to "end the extra percentage payment. If this is not ended the O&C coun ties will be getting not only their taxes on the lands but a share indeed most of the net timber income. They will be gouging the taxpayers of the United states. It would be. as though we here in Deschutes county received hot only our percentage share of national forest income now paid in lieu of taxes but most of the remaining income as well. - To show how the house appropriations committee regarded this matter we quote from its report on the interior money bill as follows : ; - An estimate of $1,000,000' was presented to finance the .; construction of access roads to stands of timber In the re. vested Oregon and California grant lands. While not denying the merit of such roads, the committee has rejected this estimate. The committee was willing to provide funds for the' initiation of an access road program in prior years on ' ! the assumption that the legislation relating to the distrlbu- tlon of receipts from the sale of timber would be modified. , The existing law provides for an Inordinate proportion of ; the receipts from such timber scales to be distributed to counties of Oregon. The Federal Governmeht cannot be' expected to invest in capital improvements, ieven for such valuable natural resources, when the financial proceeds of harvesting these resources accrue, in excessive proportion to a small number of counties rather than to the Federal ' Treasury. The commit tee; will be unwilling to provide for -. capital expenditures of this nature unless and until sub stantial adjustments are riiade regarding the distributidn of receipts of timber sales from the O&C and Coos Bay grant lands.,..:;- -: ;-.;.: ;- A-.-.: ,' -:,--.:." A full explanation of the facts oh which the committee based the statement begins on page 20'6 of the record of the hearings on the bill. :':, . . . In the senate Cordon got , the access roads' funds 4terri in cluded and at the sarhe time provided that there should be nO unconscionable payments to the O&C counties in addition to the satisfaction of their tax equity. Presumably the addi tion will be -approved by the conference committee. Tax money is all the counties would receive were these lands still held by the-railroad. That is all they are entitled to now and Senator Cordon has done them a service by his act. Had he not moved there would be no possibility of access road money and some day, as the result of their over-reaching avarice, tney wpuia lose even tne taxes. , ; There'll Be a Slight Delay 7T C A MARSHA OF FRANCE Henri Phillippe Potain, one time Marshal of Franco, the leader who stemmed the German tide at Verdun in the first world war; died yesterday in custody as a traitor. 'That is the record in France. Perhaps he was guilty of treason. It is just, as possiuie tnat no was not. When the nassi armies knifed their wav into France. overwhelming British and French forces on land and, in the air, General Petain. was an bid,' old mail.., He had seen a great deal of war, too much of it. : He was one of those who saw no chance this time for an ill-prepared nation to cope with the . invader. He was for peace and it followed that whqn Rey- naua resigned as premier, retain was named to head the cilbi net which should surrender France to the enemy. It is our opinion that at this time he represented France truly. It was a France that was disorganized, whose patriot ism of a quarter century before was cooled to, somewhat less than blood heat, a France which held to the negative philosoi- pny tnat avoiqance ot destruction was prelerable to the bitter uncertainties of defense in a total war.. Later, as the under ground gained m strength, he no longer represented the real France. But, French government long before then was closely under German control. Once that control was removed, the new born, fanatic . nationalism of Franco demanded sacrifices, and what sacri fice could be more fitting than that of the nation's one-time hero? General Petain was Hearing 00 years when he was con- victed of treason. It may bo fairly questioned that this was ever conclusively proved. On the other side there is good indi cation that he still sought to serve his country and believed that in. the course he pursued his country's best interests were being served. ' .

To the Editor: After reading the misleading and colored communication in The Bulletin "Appetite Spoiled," composed by Mr. Lester Wolf, on July 20, 1951, the writer feels obligated and Justified in defend ing the parties involved and him self, who on the 16 of July; made an unsuccessiui attempt to save the life of a buck deer hiing on a barbwlre fence south of La Pine.- ,' .- , It is bevond all human -concen- t)6h how one man, regardless of how brilliant, he might be,-could lpok at a just-fairly good picture in a newspaper and compose such a complete disposition of the ac tion taken, make suggestions and criticise. Is there any wonder the communication entitled "Appetite Spoiled" is distorted and mislead ing. : . . The writer Is well aware that the article under the picture' printed In .The Bulletin of July 19 was brief and failed to explain what action was taken. It Was also presumed by the writer that any proad-mlnded. Intelligent per son Would also take for granted that everything humanly, possible would be done for a suffering animal In the shortest possible lime. On July 16 the writer received word of a deer hung In the barb wire fence south of La Pine. He, with the assistance of Perry, Nip per and Boale, immediately pro ceeded In the writer's pickup In an attempt to save this deer. A common Eastman kodak was-in the glow compartment "of the pickup. "Appetite Spoiled" would Imply that much valuable time was taken in preparation for tak ing the picture, That is a distort ed presumption on Mr. Wolf's part.; There,. was no light meter used, no flood lights or flash bulbs. The distance or range was estimated, . with no thought of composition In mind. The photog rapher stepped out of the car, walked reasonably close to the deer, looked at it through a view under ana snapped the picture. which takes approximately as mucn urne as it takes to read this last sentence. The picture was taken before the rope, sometimes used in releasing deer could be brought into use, or before the wires could be released. Mr. Wolf describes the picture as a master; piece wmcn is merely his ooin on. The picture is nothing more than a, snapshot taken by a photog rapher who had never used the camera colore. . : The writer agrees with Mr. Wolf that the photographer shows sKiii as the pnotographer in ques tion has had manv vears exDerl. :6nce in taking pictures only as a noDoy, iuck you say. wen, may. oe. -. : :- Mr. Wolf suggests that the deer could have been killed.'wlth the ciuo shown in the Dioture. wh ch happened to be a rotten jackpine limb, or kicked it. But the pur pose in mind at the time was in releasing the deer to determine the extent of its Injuries. It 1 ratner miflcult to know how badly a deer is injured when it is hanging and thrashing around in the wire. Had it been known before the deer was released, the extent of its injuries, it would nave been -shot bv Officer Bov e. hot hit in th head with a rotted limo. ... Mr. Wolf suggests pulling down a few wires. Releasing a crippled deer hung in a fence, is not as Simple as tnat. A sure way to c&use a deer to use its last bit or strength In killing Itself Is to start Pulling and tearing down lpose wire,, for the deer to fur ther excite' and entangle itself. The writer Is not especially con. corned about Mr. Wolf's personal opinion, but would like to convey to the sportsmen and public that . siui-ere nu iiuncsi enon was made by Mr, Perry, Mr. Nipper, For every type of farm financing see First National tfrs't.
