This is the sort of coun try where it is possible to have that kind of storms. The most disastrous one was the 1916 flood in Hay Canyon that took three lives and did thousands of dollars worth of damage as the rains, failing over a larger area converged in Hay Canyon and flooded a road camp and washed a house away. In earlier times many of the canyons were washed out by cloudbursts. Old timers remem ber when many of the rocky can yons once held small meadows that produced fine natural feed. _ . trails „ii- up and Stock and ...»_ wagon ___ ____... down them permitted . water . to start cutting and a sudden flood took the meadow into oblivion within a few minutes. This county has i>een hit by innumerable hall storms that wiped out fields of ripening grain in a few minutes of intense des- struction. In some storms fields that had produced wheat almost ripe were made to look like sum- merfallow, so complete was the beating of crops by marble sized hailstones. Weather men are working on a plan to dissipate hailstorms before they do extensive damage. Before the year is over we may be anxi ous for their speedy success. FINAL DAYS By sometime next week, prob ably Friday or Saturday, the Ore gon legislature should end its la bors and go home In the usual post-legislature fog the members will not l>e able to lift for a month or more. They will have spent approxi mately 130 days in doing a Job that was done equally as well ln Washington and Idaho in half ihe tim e.-It is true that there was a large number of new me.i in the Oregon legislature who had to get some experience before they could l»e effective. It is also true that they were not a very independent body of men. Many had been elected by labor and by the school lobby. The 1957 legislature was com posed of a majority of Democrats and it was the first time that had happened for twenty years. That party had an excellent opportun ity to write some sound legisla tion. In our opinion it has failed. The Republicans were kicked out because they passed a 45 per cent surtax and there arc those who predicted it and think they darn well deserved it. Instead of try ing to remedy the condition the legislature now on its last legs has compounded the felony by still further twosting the tax levy. It has twosted the basic school fund payments without doing any thing to settle the more important problem of distribution; it has passed bills for stronger govern ment hold on the people; It has handicapped business with heav- ler taxes; it may yet concentrate greater power in the governor’s .hoi hands without sufficient safe- guards. In hort it has reverted to the o ld .^ ld idea that people should lie governed, not permitted to govern themselves.

It is our opinion that many of these services are conducted with too lavish a hand and that some of them could be discontinued altogether. The history of nearly any one of these services would show that there was a demand for it when it was established. Money was ap propriated and the service start ed. Ambitious managers decided to expand it, hire more employees, to do things that were never de- manded. Soon it becomes a public headache.
