APRIL M, 1955
T A X PR O G R A M
The probable tax program that
w ill come out of the legislature Is
taking shape.
It includes a referral of its im
portant tax raising bills to the
people to assure a referral that
would not be voted on until Nov
ember 1956. The legislature Is not
passing the buck to the voters as
much as It Is making certain that
there w ill be little delay in putting
the bills Into law so money for
state purposes w ill be assured.
The program consists of so op
timistic estimates of Increased
budget receipts of $6,500,000 and
a reduction of budget estimates
by the way and means committee,
neither of which are assured. It
includes a larger tax on insurance
premiums, a higher markup on
liquor, a corporate tax on utilities
for $7,700,000.
Major items and probably the
only ones to be referred w ill be
the cigarette tax, estimated at
$10,000,000 and a higher income
tax, estimated at around $25,000,-
000, partly from lower exemp
tions and partly from surtax.
There have been threats that both
w ill be referred by others if the
legislature does not do It on its
own accord.
It is yet possible that a sales
tax w ill be referred also so that
the people may have a larger
choice, but this is not certain. It Is
difficult to see how an election
can be put off past July 15 w ith
out the mandatory imposition of
a six m ill property tax but the
legislature may be able to evade
that one by passing emergency
legislation.
The choice of the voters w ill be
to accept the cigarette tax and
the higher income tax (which w ill
be a whopper) or to defeat them.
While the campaign is on the
school forces w ill be chattering in
the PTAs, the higher education
people w ill lx; speaking In self-
glorification, state officials w ill
talk about the necessity of bigger
government until the voters may
be overwhelmed.
Then again, they may not.
The alternative to passing the
two tax measures w ill Is* a special
session of the legislature next
fall. And It seems that such a ses-
sion would have to feel that It had
a mandate to cut some of the
state expenditures
A cut of
around$50,000,000 w ill l>e required
to get within estimate receipts.
That w ill mean reduced basic
school funds, reduced higher ed
ucation, eliminating some service
budgets entirely, stricter welfare
rolls.
.
,
Oregon citizens have been get-
ting by for years by using a sur
plus. They have been able to vote
for new things without getting a
bill. That time is ended. Now they
w ill have to pay for what they
get and because they have l**en
living rather high the payments
are high.
It w ill lx? one of the most int« r-
estlng elections In years.
ings and Improvements, are very
happy to have so careful a man
passing on the bonds they buy.
The reason for this short dis
course on Mr. Shuler Is that the
proposed union high school dis
trict Is having Its troubles with
Mr. Shuler. Every provision of
the Union High School law as re
gards organization has been met,
every *T’ dotted, every comma
well placed.
The Union High School law has
been In effect since ’ 1907 with
some changes in the last 48 years
and undoubtedly nearly every
Union High district has been for
med under It. As everyone In the
Kent, Grass Valley and Moro dis
trict now knows It requires a vote
of the host district, and- petitions
from joining districts.
There is
provision for remonstrances by
any disgruntled persons. If none
Is made the district Is formed.
Now comes Mr. Shuler and says
that although that Is the law it is
not enough and that an election
must be held anyway. This means
that someone must sign a remon
strance whether he wants to re
monstrate or not so there can be
an election. Thus Mr. Shuler goes
beyond the law and leans on the
constitution or on his Interpreta
tion of the constitution.
Mr. Shuler’s position is that
there should be positive action by
the people to form a new govern-
mertal organization and that the
present Union High School law
provides for negative action. He
Insists that mere acceptance of a
new district is not enough. There
must be active support thereof.
He is certainly wrong legally, may
be wrong constitutionally, but It
is entirely correct philosophically.
Certainly such a law should lx?
changed so that when a district
follows it. it is legal enough that
It can sell bonds. That may be done
by the legislature If there is yet
tlm e.lt w ill not change the status
of the local district.
The situation leads to some odd
thoughts—a lawyer who makes
his own law; a well used law found
wanting In Its old age; a return,
perhaps, to necessary voting, to
dependence on people Instead of
on law and government.
of Mother Nature who has sole
jurisdiction over them, whether
they grow or die. Mgre man is
used to being treated tha«. He
may bully his wife with an order
for dinner at six o’clock prompt
and find it consisting of a crust
and a bit of soup; he may storm
and bluster and have the family
decision go against him for all his
show of authority. Often mascu
lin ity makes the orders and fem
ininity makes the decisions. The
feminine art is in making him like
It. On that score it does seem that
Mother Nature is not doing too
well this spring, but we are sure
she’ll get around to it before long.
Passage of SB 408 w ill change
county school organization Vo a
marked degree. It is thought to
have a good chance of approval.
It does away with the rural school
board and permits a county tax
levy of a fixed amount per child
with the district being responsi
ble for the remainder of the costs.
Grass Valley Church
Starts Meetings
The Grass Valley Baptist church
is planning a big day on Easter
Sunday. The first activity w ill be
the Sunday school program at
9:45 a. m. In this program the high
school pupils w ill furnish some
special music and read the Scrip
ture, the little folks w ill give re
citations and sing and juniors and
Intermediates are going to drama
tize the Easter story.
In the 11:00 service the choir
w ill sing several Easter numbers,
the male quartet w ill sing, Everett
Cantrall w ill play “ The Lord’s
Prayer” on his trumpet, and we
w ill have solos by Don Earl and
Mrs. Beverly Shaw. The pastor,
Don Leach, w ill bring a short Ea
ster message to conclude the mor
ning’s activities.
That evening the adult fellow
ship w ill meet to discuss the sub
ject of ‘‘Victorious Living" at
7:00.
In the evening worship the
church w ill begin a week of mis

Umatilla Bridge To ~
Be Opened April 15
The Inland Empire spotlight
falls on this Oregon city Friday.
April 15, when Governors Paul
L. Patterson of Oregon and Auth-
ur B. Langlie of Washington w ill
attend dedication ceremonies of
the new Columbia river bridge
here at Umatilla. The dedication
program w ill start at 11 a .m.
and w ill highlight a full day of
activity.
The late W illiam H. Swltzler,
life-time pioneer of Umatilla coun
ty, w ill be honored at the dedica
tion. The bridge is dedicated to his
memory and to the “ welfare of
the future generations who w ill
benefit from its use.”
McNary dam w ill be available

to drive across the Columbia riv
er for the dedication. It w ill open
at 8 a. m. for southbound traffic
and residents from the north w ill

Construction money for the
bridge, came from the sale of
bonds. The bridge w ill be paid for
in about 27 years from tolls and
then w ill be turned over to the
highway department of Washing
ton and Oregon and w ill become
a free thoroughfare.
The bridge is over a half mile
long, 3380 feet, from its base in
Washington to Oregon. The con
crete deck, crossing the river, is
1320 feet. Tudor Engineering Co.
of San Francisco Is the consulting
engineers for the structure. It took
