(T j OUOBURST WEATHER
Although the weather in thia
county has not been of the sort to
engender fear of cloudbursts
those sudden rainstorms have hit
close enough to make a recurrence
possible. 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.

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.

vides many services the people
want and would demand 11 they

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

to expand it, hire more employees,
to do things that were never de-
manded. Soon it becomes a public

On June 8, 1957 ln said school dls-
trict, for the purpose of submit-
ting to the legal voters of said dls-
trict the question of increasing
the tax levy for the fiscal year
1957.53 over the amount limited
by section 11, article XI, of the
Constitution of Oregon.
The reasons for Increasing such
levy are:
To retire the deficit on outstand-
ln8 warrants that resulted be-
cause of a transfer of general
funds to Bonds and Interest dur-
ing the school year 1956-57,
amounting to $34,528.00, and to
raise $108,858.00 over the 6% lim
itation for the budget for 1957-58.
The amount of tax, in excess of
the 6% llmltat*on, proposed to be
levied for said fiscal year is
$143,386.00.
