The Wrong Approach Without a doubt Richard L. Neuberger had a pood idea of the kind of reception his senate bill number 257 which called for the consolidation of Umatilla, Morrow, Gilliam, Wheeler and Sherman counties would receive when he introduced it dur. ing the last legislature. His articles appearing in last Sunday's Oregon Journal magazine section and also in that newspaper's This Week section indicated that he didn't hold much hope for its passage. That bill received little publicity around the state, possibly with the exception of the affected counties, probably because no one took it very seriously. Neuberger's Sunday articles, calling for the consolidation or better yet, according to the writer, elimination of the county unit of government as a means of reducing taxes, undoubtedly have some merit in their ideas. It is quite true that most county boundaries were established when travel was much more difficult than it is today and in a good number of cases a readjustment of boundaries or consolidation of whole counties could work to the benefit of the taxpayers. We seriously doubt however, that Mr. Neuberger will find the residents of any county in Oregon in fact probably in the whole United States, will bo will ing to vote themselves out of their home county. " There are exceptions, and where the writer suggests that larger cities and counties, such as il e Portland Multnomah county area, consolidate II eir governmental offices, his ideas do have merit for their situation is much different from that of the other counties of the state. However, for us to tell Portland and Multnomah county that they ought to get together would be practically the same as what Mr. Neuberger suggested for us to do. We have, and want, no part of that debate. We wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Neubergor's articles are food for thought, but we think when he talks about the method of re ducing taxes he can't see Hie forest for the trees. I is very true that economy snouiu oegm u numi . . and we think it has, at least in Morrow county. A check of the statement ot taxes icvieu m Morrow county for 1951-52 will show that the total tax levied for county purposes amounts to 17.4 mills. Of that total, only 4.7H07 mills is used for It maintenance of a courthouse and for salaries of countv officials, the remaining 12.C2 mills is tax that would have to be paid regardless of what county we happen to live in for it goes for roads, general school fund and other necessities that are ,.. i., nnnntv if consolidation were ef fected, even a part of this 4.7807 mills would be i1( ,i,',, tn ihn rmpi'ssitv of havinf? to employ more help in the various county offices to handle the larger job of caring tor tne neeus oi uie nuumuuai people. A saving of, say, 20 percent in the cost of county government would be welcome of course, but if Mr. Neuberger would direct his writing and lawmaking talents toward finding some method of reducing by 20 percent the tax that Uncle Sam takes from'Morrow county residents he would win the undying gratitude of its citizens. Though we don't have the figures, we seriously doubt thai if just the cost of operating the various courthouses in the state was miraculously saved by some method, that the total saving would come any where near adding up to the amount the people of Oregon would save were Federal taxes reduced v... on L.nt Wn think thpv can be cut bv that amount without reducing the essential services of the government by just eliminating some of the frills, waste and foolishness that is taking too many of our Federal tax dollars. In these times of high taxes it is necessary xo watch all tax levying agencies, and our city, county and school agencies are right at home where we can watch them and where each citizen can have a voice in how his tax money is being spent. State and Federal governments are far ther away and as a result it is harder, if not prac tically impossible for the Individual to make his own desires known. True, we should know our elected officials to the posts in government, but that too, is harder to do. In the case of our city and county officials, we live among them and in many cases know them personally and can watch, at first hand, their actions in office. This we can t do in the case of our Federal officials. County and city government gives back more of each tax dollar to the taxpayer than any other rovernmental unit. If we are going to reduce By N.

Many businessmen havemade comments like this: "The way I figure it out, this 'integration you big companies are attacked for is just a matter of doing more than one part of a job. So what's wrong about that? It's the way I operate, tooP' In answering this question let's consider first what the word means. "Integration" means simply carrying a job through sevfiral steps. Integration can't make a good company bad. It's a method any business may use as it competes for your patronage, increasing its effi ciency and benefiting you by keeping prices down. Let's look at the similarity between our operation and that of another integrated fuel producer whose system is centuries old : wvcvv. MOW V r5.A,;'f vatm.i a u oft .'. 4. . I I "i mm nil in'v-: f rt f- . mm A woodcutter goes into a for est and fells trees. Standard drills into the ground and brings up oil. If the woodcutter sells the logs then and there . . . and if Standard sells the crude oil to some buyer at the well . . . there's no integration. Each has performed only one part of the job. Now if the woodcutter takes the next step and cuts the logs into fire place size, he has become an inte grated business. Like him, Standard works to turn the nroduet into the forms you use. We refine our crude oil into gaso line, lubricants, fuel oil, and other products. So we're integrated, too. 33 When the woodcutter hauls a load of firewood he extends his integration. He's now in the transportation business ... as is Standard when we use nnr tank. ers and pipelines to transport oil from well to refinery, and the refined products from there to areas where they'll be used. -ii - And if the woodcutter finally sells the firewood to you, his op eration is fully integrated. Ours is, too, when we sell you fuel oil. ..or Sell VOU frnonline of Pnmnanvwnpfl service stations. So is integration wrong? Not at all. And we make best use of it to bring you better products at low cost. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA plans ahead to serve you better
