It prelates to the issuance of revenue bonds by 'Peoples Utility Districts, amending the pres ent law, which has functioned satisfactorily lior most such districts. 2" The change sought by SB 146, as amended, -would authorize any PUD to issue and sell each year revenue bonds without a vote of the people, in an amount equal to 10 per cent 'M bonds outstanding, for tiic purpose of mak 1)ig emergency repairs or betterments to its "system, n was reported out of the Committee favorably by a vote of 5 to 4. This bill would open the way for indebtedness that might .possibly lead to eventual bankruptcy. The original PUD act, passed in 1931, wisely included a provision guaranteeing to -the people ol every district tne right to vote 'on every proposed bond issue, as a curb on abuse of power, and has been retained ever since. SB 146 deprives the people and the bond holders of this safeguard and their ;basic rights. ' Proponents of the bill claim that the bill 'Is necessary to provide the districts with money to meet emergencies, due to damage "by storms or other calastrophics. It has not Jjeen necessary in many well-managed PUD's, for they had the foresight that private util ities utilize, insurance against such danv .'age, the premium charged to normal operat ing expense. Or the district could accumu late a reserve fund out of the annual earn ings for this purupose self insurance. - Opponents poi'nt out that the PUD law at the present time gives every district the "right to borrow money without voter approval "to the extent of its annual net income and jthis provision has been clarified and strength ened by SB 140 which has already passed both houses ol the Legislature. In the case of .Central Lincoln I'UD, for example, this would IDmount to approximately $3110,000 a year, which would he more than ample to take Ho lake care of unforeseen emergencies. - It is also pointed out that the Supreme Court of Oregon has refuted the suggestion that PUD's should have the right to issue bonds in case of emergencies without voter approval in this language: '"The ingenious nryument is put forward tttat the ; apparent purpose ol permitting the directors of n riisirict to borrow money without voter approval !.wns 'to provide the District with a residuary bor rowinR power to be used in case of emergencies ;or when voter 'approval of bond issues did not keep pace with extraordinary or unforeseen demands for additions or improvements to the plant. ' Wo hotild have thought rather that the requirement of prior approval by the voters was Intended by the Legislature lo put a brake upon the runaway , enthusiasm of directors, who might otherwise bo tenipted In look upon Ihc ordinary exijjencjes 'arising in the operation and development of a dis tinct as if they -were situations of emergency .calling for Immediate and drastic action by way of remedy." iFullerlon v. Central Lincoln Utility .District, 195 Or. 28I.-G.P. people of Oregon. The lack of car parking space near the. State House is a constant an noyance, not only to Salem people and state employes, but to everyone in Oregon who has business at the Capitol or any of the other stale buildings. Members of the Legislature have complained about it ever since the new State House was occupied, and the complaint has mounted with the addi tion of each new state building. An accumulation of things worked against the parking area bill. Mr. Hatfield proposed a $300,000 appropriation to buy the prop erty. The Ways and Means Committee cut this in half, which would not have been nearly enough, and another appropriation would have been necessary in 1959. It was provided in the bill that the project pay for itself by rental to be paid by persons using it. This is hardly dependable. The Legislature had already approved ulti mate extension of the Capitol Mall to D tH.cei, mm some members objected to fur ther state purchases of property extending laterally from the Mall. One reason was that every purchase by the state removed property from the tax rolls. In this in stance it would be an area valued roughly at $300,000. There is talk of reviving the bill. One argument for it, assuming that the State will have to acquire parking ground, is that the area doubtless could be bought more eco nomically now than some year hence. 'In purpose the bill was good. Reasons considered practical seem to have beaten it, indicated locally by the fact that all but one of the Marion County members voted against it. "Called Hack lo Service ,T In Seattle a grand jury will be impaneled :May 20 to investigate the Teamsters. It will be an interesting case to watch because Seattle is the home city of Dave Beck. .'r A much commented on preparatory move is that of Ihe Scatlle prosecutor, Charles O. Carroll, in persuading William K. Dcvin, a former Seattle mayor, to serve as special prosecuting attorney , for the King County Grand Jury. ; This could be interpreted in two ways. Carroll might be accused o( sidestepping the case because il is Ino hot. Or he might be regarded as willing to forego, in the interests of public service, any laurels that might .accrue to himself by a successful prosecu tion of Ihc case. It could make him or break him politically. But Carroll isn't running out, for he and Victor D. Lawrence, said to be an able at 'lorney, will be in Ihc case as assistants lo 'Dcvin. So any doubts seem lo be in Carroll's favor. ' As (or Mr. IVvin, he has wide legal ex perience and has been a municipal judge and mayor of the city, lie had gone into retire mnct. and reluctantly responded to Carroll's jrall. The assignment, il is said, will he the ."toughest of his career. It could be a climax 'to his career or an anticlimax. " The Seattle Times observes that the grand Jury will delve into cornets that are very sensitive politically, and that in some quiir ters it probably will be accused of witch Ihunting, and thinks Carroll had these things Jn mind when he urged Devin to accept ap pointment as chief special prosecutor. It applauds his action. Devin indicales that he will mil he party to any witch hunting, and reminds t lie public Jthat the obligation of a legal adviser to a grand jury is to protect the innocent as well as to see that the guilty are brought to account. . The Seattle grand jury is not limited in 'its investigation, hut at the start will be con cerned only with alleged misuse of Teamlers' Union money. Misuse, of course, is a broad term. Its immediate responsibility will he to find out if any laws of the slate have been violated. In this inquiry il will be guided by Devin, Carroll and Lawrence. The Car Parking Hill Overwhelming defeat in the House of a Senate bill to purchase an area near the Capitol for car parking was not, as has been implied by some members, a slap at Secre tary of State Mark Hatfield who proposed the bill. " The Secretary of Slate, the joint Ways and Means Committee, which introduced the bill, and the Senate, which passed it, all had In mind a much needed public service to the RAY TUCKER Byrd May Reduce .National Budget WASHINGTON A conservative Demo cratic Senator for whom President Eisenhow er and Treasury Secrelary Humphrey pro fess warm regard has become the most vocal and effective foe of their financial and bud get policies. Although a successful million aire businessman, he fights jsTOWoja''' chiefly their alleged costly f'f SL-;f 1 iitvtit instil luwara certain great corporate Interests! here and abroad. It is the! most fascinating human In terest drama on Capitol Hill. This influential individual-' 1st, whose conduct bewilders even as it gratifies most of I his colleagues, is Senator! Harry Flood Byrd of Vir-mm7?yl.Zr.r ginia, ,111b aristocratic apple-grower from the Shenandoah Valley. Regularly assailed as a "reactionary" by Democratic radicals and liberals, he is now aligned with them, albeit for different reasons. He has turned his allack on policies that would bencfil banks, private utilities, bond houses, vast corpora tions and petroleum interests. If the $71.8 billion budget is seriously re duced, it will be due largely lo Senator Byrd. As chairman of the Senate Finance Commit tee and leader of the Southern bloc, he wields enormous infuence in the Upper Chamber. And it is this body which generally restores whatever appropriation cuts have been mado by the House of Representatives. WILL WIN SKXATH SUPPORT Byrd's stand will win Senate support be cause he shows utter disregard for politics or personal friendships. They recall thai, chiefly because of his attitude, the Old Dominion twice cast its electoral vole for Kiscnhnwer. lie has expressed his admira tion for Secretary Humphrey, regarding hint as the ablest Secretary of the Treasury in 25 years, and the Cabinet member consid er the Senator his "good friend." OPINION'S AND FltlKMlSIIIP This remarkable friendship persists, al though this is the third time that the Sena tor has opposed policies which seemed to benefit Ins admirers in the banking and busi ness community. When Humphrey proposed that the huge road huilding program be financed through Ihe issuance of private bonds, thereby remov ing Ihe cost as a current charge against the budget. Byrd denounced il as 'legerdemain." His single blast killed the idea. Although it would have profiled the issuing bond dealers, it would have cost the taxpayer extra billions in the long run. Today, the Senator is checking on several other devices designed to assist "big busi ness" interests, although there may have been justification for them in Ihe wartime emergency. Ironically, in this venture he is lined up with such liberal extremists as Senator Wayne I.. Morse of Oregon and that other but different Humphrey the Senator from Minnesota. "INDKI FASIHI.F." PHIVIt.KGI-'.S Senator Byrd criticizes as "indefensible" the fast tax write-off privileges granted by the Treasury to firms supposedly engaged in national defense production. In his opinion, most of these temporary tax deductions are unjustified because Ihe beneficiaries do not qualify, while causing a tremendous loss in Federal revenue And the incident which angered him most involved a quick amortiza tion grant In a great utilities protect and company. He has introduced a hill for re peal of this provision. Byrd is also concerned over apparent tax favors to five great nil firms operating in Saudi Arabia under the name of Armaro. It has been charged that they escape U.S. income taxes of J100.000.tXX) a year by pay ing prearranged taxes and royalties to King Sand. In short, bookkeeping manipulation is suspected. O Ike, Dulles Issue Stern Jordan Talk WASHI.SPTON W Were Presi dent Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles just making stern sounds or do they mean to do .something if anti-Communist King Hussein of .Jor dan is attacked or overthrown?

What followed was this: Jordan Independence Vital Kisenhower and Dulles the former in Augusta. Ga.. and the latter in Washington talked 20 minutes by phone. Presidential press secretary James Hagerty told reporters that, among other things, the two men had agreed that they regard Jordan's "in dependence and integrity as Hal." Hagerty took pains to point out their language was part of the resolution which Congress adopted last March in approving Eisen hower's Middle East program. That resolution -in Section 2. using the very words mentioned by Kisenhower and Dulles and the words "international com munism" employed by Hussein. said: May Use Force The United Slates regards as vital to the national interest and world peace the preservation of the independence and integrity of tne nations of the Middle East.

Too many people do not know that military appropriations left over from previous years work in process and under contract can cause the government to spend more money this next year than the budget provides, even if Con gress cuts "appropriations." That's what happened with the big "carryover" in the present fiscal year ending June 30 next. this kind, it is important for the public to eet all the facts before swallowing either the line that the budget can be cut by a certain number of billions or that tax re duction can be achieved next Jan uary, as some of the politicians are already saying because they know it pleases the voters. The first and most important point to be settled is whether tax reduction should come in times of prosperity. Most economists think it should not. They lielieve that the present when there is a boom in consumer spending and prices are high is no time to add fuel to tne inflationary flames. The Demo crats have always held to that philosophy, so it is a little sur prising to see so many of their leaders in Congress promising a tax reduction for 1958 irrespective of what the situation may be on the inflationary front next Janu ary. IS STIMULUS NEEDED? The next point to establish is whether conditions are or are not prosperous today and whether any stimulus is needed. All the evidence points to the fact that business over-all is running at high levels and that declines in auto purchases, for instance, arc beinc offset by rises in other fields. The Mav issue of Ihe First Na tional City Bank Letter says that "with employment and consumer incomes at new high levels, de partment store sales set a record for the Faster season." Also, the same authority says: "A new McGraw-Hill survey sug gesting that business men in the aggregate are tending to step up, not cut back, their capital spend ing plans for 1M7 and Ihc years beyond both reflects and contrib utes to a confident view." PUBLIC SPENDING RISES It is to be noted that, despite the setbacks in the federal high way program, spending by state and city governments on public works is increasing. Rather sig nificantly the bank letter adds: HAL BOYLE Liberace Drops 30 Pounds, Loses Expensive Wardrobe "It isn't, however, one of those learn-to-play-in-10-easy-le.. sons systems. It is a complete music course, and includes har mony, theory, music appreciation and showmanship." By showmanship Liberace indi cated he meant the students will be taught to hold his hands in the same way he does himself, and sit at the piano with the fiame posture he employs. The prospect of an America made tuneful by perhaps 250.000 young men and women playing inc piano with Liberace's mannered style is something to consider. Lee himself considers the pros, pect delightful.

WILLIAM 11RADY Drugs for Home-Preparation Remedies Difficult to Buy "But whereas In 1955 consumer expenditures and home buying were features of the recovery, and last year business capital invest ment made a notable upsurge, now government spending is tak ing over a major role in the busi ness advance." This means also that the back log of armament contracts from previous years bombers now coming into production and other weapons currently in tne pipe line" is helping to bring about the competition for available goods and services. There is no way to regulate this except to find some inexpensive and miraculous way of abolishing the Kremlin and its menace. RECESSION COULD COME With population growing and ci vilian demands increasing, and wtih the constant need for replac ing worn-out plant and modermz ing factory equipment, the nation al economy has a certain momen tum today, but, if suddenly ar rested by meat-axe methods, "re cession" and even a "depression" can be precipitated. The Federal Reserve Board is keeping its restraint on lending, but even this has not yet pro duced a decrease in the supply of money or brought about a trend toward lower interest rates. On the contrary, the federal govern ment itself is still seeking lenders and is finding it necessary to pay higher interest rales than ever be fore for short-term borrowings. SPENDING WON'T DECLINE Hence it is obvious that the de mand for funds is still greater than the supply. 11 is unlikely that actual government spending will decline so as to cause the flow of many billions of dollars of income lo the public to slop. II, neverme lcss, taxes are reduced, the new income to individuals and to busi ness will be used to bid up prices for goods wanted and will add to the total spending. Tax reduction is a proper stimu lus in hard times. It becomes a stimulus to inflation and rising prices in boom times. When will the boom times stop, and hard times begin? Who wants to start a chain reaction toward a "reces sion"? Which party in Congress will take responsibility for it? These are the vexing questions on which the people need lo be in- that's Liberace.' now they ask, 'is that Liberace'?" The diet had one drawback. The new tiger-thin Liberace found his wardrobe, one of the most exten sive and expensive in show busi ness, unwearable. REPLACING HIS THINGS "Now I'm replacing all my things," he said, smiling. The new Liberace also confided he has embarked on a new career teaching. Teaching is traditionally one of the lowest paid professions. But the Liberace brothers, who al ready have pioneered in one branch of show world . industry (turning saccharine into heavy sugar), plan to. change that in their case. Liberace soon will establish a chain of music schools across the country to teach piano playing by a method he says is the first new one in 20 years. We spent more than a year in research and experiment," said Liberace. "Instead of practicing tiresome scales endlessly, the stu dent will be playing simple melo dies by the end ot the third lesson, graduating to m o r e complex melodies as his skill increases. Sample: When asked what he would like to have time write as his epitaph. Liberace replied in stantly with a smile full of kilo watts: "If 1 have caused a few more people to smile in the world. I will not have lived in vain. I want only that the world shall be bet tered because of my presence in it." As I tiptoed out, brother George said: "Have you heard my latest al bum? It's the first one to feature rock 'n' roll with a violin. "(ieorge Liberace goes teen ager! But you have to keep up with the times." IMMORAL AS HOUSEBREAKING The senate has passed a vari able ratio bill and the house may swallow the same pill. Every tax man knows that a variable ratio is as immoral as housebreaking although it may take yeifrs to prove it to the present crop of legislators. Sherman County Journal.
