' 4 the Bend Bulletin, Soturdoy, June 18, 1955 -. Northwest Appropriations Action of the appropriations) committee of the ... IIoUHe of Representatives last week in cutting North went appropriations below the level sought by the Pres-I iclcnt and members of Congress from the Northwest was -an unexpected one. So unexpected, in fact, Neubcrger characterized it Northwest. It was stunning, all right, but not unexpected. ' The committee cut 51-; million dollars from Presi dent Eisenhower's request for funds for The Dalles dam, - bit 2 million off the budget item for Chief Joseph, cut a . good-sized sum from the Bonneville Power Administra 1 tion's request, and allowed no funds at all for planning . on the John Day dam. The action bears out predictions made freely during last fall's political campaign, that the halcyon daj'3 of "appropriations for Northwest power development proj ects were at an end. Then, however, when the Democrats gained control of Congress, and gained two senators and representa tives from Oregon, we were told that we were doubly " blessed, that appropriations now could be counted on for 'necessary work to provide needed new generating facili .. Hies for the area, r ; It has become apparent, however, that this is not the r -case. The committee's action is the strongest point seen ; to date for the administration's partnership program for " the construction of new generating facilities. Morse vs. Patterson Governor Paul Patterson hasn't said, publicly or pri ; valcly, whether he is going to run against Wayne Morse for the U. S. Senate next year. But readers of the Congressional Kocord will gather -the impression that Morse and his side-kick, Senator Richard Neuberger, feel that Patterson will be in the race. There is no other apparent reason for the vitriol . poured in some of the attacks on Patterson. The Poor Get Richer Somewhere in the past we seem to remember ing that went something like this: "The rich get richer and the Mior get poorer . It; may have been true at phow that it isn't so any longer. 'The magazine U. S. News and World Report has tak en a bunch of family income figures, adjusted them to re flect accurately the purchasing power of the dollar, and Lome up with some interesting comparisons. Twenty, years ago, for example, fi.5 million Ameri can families had incomes of less than $2.0(10 per year. Now only half have incomes of that figure in comparable dollars. The figure is still too high, of course, but has shown a steady decline during the past 20 years. Even more dramatic is the magazine's figure on the number of families with incomes of more than $5,000 per year. Twenty years ago there were only 5.!l million fami lies in this bracket. Now there are 21.1 million families in this relatively affluent state. Perhaps a belter statement of the old saying would be: "The rich do as well, and the poor get fewer . . ." Tax Cut Next Year With the economy rolling along at its present pace, it is realistic to look forward to another small federal in come tax cut next year. With a presidential election com ing up, the real battle will be over the type of cut, not whether a cut will be made. The policy of the Eisenhower administration seems to be shaping up along these lines now : Reduce federal expenditures in as orderly a fashion as possible, and pass part of the savings along to tax payers in the form of reduced taxes. The Democrats feel that any tax cut should be aimed largely at relieving the minor tax burden now imposed on the lower income families of the nation. Administration economists seem to feel that a more oven distribution of the i,it will have a better long range effect on the national economy. So, come next spring, around and around they'll go, "and where they'll stop no one knows. Quotable Quotes That's life. When you're young you want to be old. When you're old you want to be young.

Letters To The Editor: Some of our latest information is that the mass of testimony about the Kcho Park Dam, Upper Colora do River Project, presents no con crete evidence that an Echo Park is necessary. Claimed justifications j for it iiave changed as one aftr! another contention has been proved' invalid. The House Sub-Committee has requested further information from the Bureau of Reclamation j about alternatives, needing due consideration before final decision. Practically aii promoting pressures for the project came from quite; loeaii.ed groups apparently main ly seeking their own dollar inter ests. A few men in control of thousands of acres of desert lands want water to raise more farm crops while we are now paying millions of dollars in price parity and for storage of millions of bush els of surplus. Lack of positive evidence that the Upper Colorado Itiver Project is a National need. for the greatest good of the larg est number for the longest time, should be sufficient proof that it bo postponed. Increased population may justify such a project 20 to 30 years hence. More than 20 na tionwide conservation organiza tions have protested the Colo. IV Project. Many preventive and corrective matters do need immediate atten tion. Constant removal of forest rover; trees, grass, and oiner i tor - runoff - retarding vecetatio-i growth, increases floods, drouths, loss of soil. fish, wildlife, lowers a rightful heritage. Posterity is cu rt rightful heritage .Posterity is en titled 1o protection and provision for hy each generation. Failure to do these have brought the tim ber famine, increased floods, dust bowls, watershortnges. Many another crisis may soon be added due to greed of a few to grab America's fast-dwindling natural resources, convert these into dollar profits and leave the land depleted.

Group of Ohio High School Students Visit Bend Area Seventeen members of the grad uated s- nior class of a Wooster. Ohio, rural school, plus two teach ers as chaK'rones, stopped in lend Wednesday and Thursday it he third week of a 40-day trip which will cover 10,000 miles. Gencirtt director jind boys' chap- erone lor tnu inp is nay a. eaies, atnlelic director at the school, fins is his ninth annual trip, for the past four yours he has organ ized western trips for the Wooster seniors. Kor fi"e years before that, he conducted similar tours for stu dents of another school. Miss Jeanette Whit more, typing instruc tor at Wooster, supervises the girls. The students earn money Xor their trip by picking potatoes in Ohio in the fall. This year's tour ing group assembled a treasury oi $2300 to cover transportation costs and entertainment. In addition, each started out with about $150 for food and lodging. ThcVc is no place for "spoiled kids" in Bates' tours. Each stu dent who signs up is expected to do special reading in advance of the trip, in order to have a good background of geography and his- tory to increase enjoyment of the trip. There is no eating between meals, and travel rules are strict ly followed. This year's group is traveling in three t-nrs, and the passengei-s are shifted each day to prevent formation of cliques. The Ohio travelers had warm praise for the Bend country and for Chamber of Commerce man ager Marion Cady, who assisted with arrangements for their local entertainment. Wednesday they visited the set of "The Indian Fighter," at the Benham Falls lo cation. They visited Petersen's rock gardens and Tumalo falls. and took drives around town and up Pilot Butte. They stay at aulo courts. The school' the students attended is a rural district outside Wooster. It has about 200 students, and the administration favors these exten sive trips as valuable education in social studies and human rela tions. Every year, part of the sen iors travel West, and part go East. The Eastern trip is less expensive and usually the choice of those who "don't want to work quite so hard," Bates said.
