-. 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.

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.
That mmi - than - a billion - dol
lars proposed for the Upper Colo
rado Hiver Project could go far
toward rehabilitating overgrazed,
deforested, and otherwise waste
public lands.

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.
Bales is well - equipped for his
duties as lour leader. In addition
to serving as athletic director at
the school, lu teaches psychology.!
