There Is a Simple Answer
Next Monday Oregon's legislature will meet
in its first special session in many years in an
attempt to try to figure out what to do with quite
a few million dollars surplus that has piled up
in the state's treasury. The problem should and
could have a very simple answer and solution,
but we don't suppose It will have the history of
legislatures is not to do anything simple that can
be done the hard way.
Maybe that statement Is a little unfair to our
selected representatives, for there are many,
many pressure groups ready and waiting to take
up arms to fight for their favorite cause which
complicates any job the legislature has to do,
nevertheless, it holds pretty true.
Oregon's dilemma is almost unique In the hist
ory of our state, or most other states for that
matter. We have collected too many taxes with
the result that we have too much money laying
around in the treasury. That's quite a switch.
There have been many suggestions made as
to what to do with the extra money . . . money
that shouldn't have been collected from the tax
payers in the first place. The schools got In line
first asking that a sizeable amount of the sur
plus be given to them, presumably to act as a
property tax offset. Other groups have suggested
we build roads with the money, retire the state
debt, and numerous other things.
We think there Is but one simple and logical
answer to the whole thing an answer the legis
lature could find in very few days if it will. It is:
First: the surplus money came wholly or
largely from personal income tax rates which
were raised too much because of some improper
figures or some poor guesses.
Second: That money logically should be re
turned to the persons paying it in the first place.
How can this be done? Simply by eliminating
all or part of the unnecessary 51 surtax imposed
on Oregon taxpayers at the last session of the
legislature and making the reduced rate effective
on the present year's income, the tax on which is
due next spring. The recently imposed higher
withholding schedule on salaries would have to be
revised downward a relatively simple matter.
The extra money came from the income tax
payer. We don't think it's too mucli to ask the
legislature to see to it that it comes back to him
in kind.

HOTEL'S GILDED STEER
GETS NEW HOME
Heppner Gazette Times:
Dear Mr. Penland: Inclosed Is a
copy of a letter I received about
the old "Gilded Steer" that stood
for so many years In the tower
on front of the old Perkins Hotel
of Portland. I have received many
letters about thi3 old land-mark.
I know there are still a few
"old-timers" still living, and I
also know they will be glad to
know of the final resting place
of the famous ''eteer".
Will you please notify me
shortly before my subscription
for the G.T. runs out. My father
told me that he had taken the
"Gazettee" from the very first
issue, and I started in right
where he left off, so I' do not
want to miss a single issue. To
gether my father and I have
taken the paper for 74 years.
Sincerely Yours,

Dear Mr. Yeager:
We recently read your fine let
ter to the Oregonian, regarding
the "Gilded Steer", which has
been atop the Perkins Hotel. We
were glad to get some additional
information regarding the steer
from your letter.
As you know the hotel part of
the building has been condemn
od and is no longer in use. It
does not seem desirable to leave
him atop this condemned build
ing, where in case of fire he
would certainly be burned and
lost.
It was, therefore, decided to
lend him to Lipman Wolfe's for
display in their men's depart
ment, for a five year period. He
has been reconditioned and L
where he will be protected and
preserved for the future.
Your Idea of sending him to
Eastern Oregon has possibilities,
but we would not be sure fit
would be properly cared for and
few people would see him over
there. It Is our plan to cither use

forest trees from the Oregon State
Board of Forestry. Orders can
now be filled for tree seedlings
to be used In windbreaks, shelter

plantings. Last year we were not
able to get trees due to a short
age of nursery stock. Seedlings
are more plentiful this year,
however there no doubt will be
a shortage and o'rders will be
filled on a first come, first served
basis. Conifers for Eastern Ore

erosa pine, Austrian pine and
Chinese Arborvitae. Broad leafed
seedlings available are black lo
cust, caranga, Russian mulberry,
Russian olive and Chinese elm.
The October cattle report just
released is the big livestock news
of the week and gives new cause
for confidnce in the cattle market
during the next several months.
The optimistic note for those
feeding cattle stems from the new
evidence that the nation's feed
lots hold fewer cattle and calves
at this time than at any October
for several years. Report shows
the number on feed in the na
tion's 13 principal cattle feeding
states is 11 smaller than last
year. The reduction is the great
est in four western states of Cali
fornia, Arizona, Texas and Colo
rado, where the total is 15 smal
ler than a year ago. The cut In
the main cornbelt is 9. Feedlot
operators intend to market few-

er cattle than last year In each
of the next several months, but
the greatest reduction is planned
for November and December. The
situation in California appears to
be especially significant to Ore
gon cow-calf operators who sup
ply many weaner calves and
feeders used there. California
feeders' inventories were down
12 from last year. With current
conditions including the strong
local demand from owners of low
priced hay and grain, keep the
cattle man with something to
sell in the strongest bargaining
position he has enjoyed for sev
eral falls.
Services Held Friday
For Boardman Woman
By Mary Lee Marlow
Funeral services were held
Friday at Burns Mortuary in Her
miston for Mrs. Clara Lovette, 56,
whose body was found Oct. 15 in
the Columbia river near the
mouth of the Deschutes. She had
disappeared from her home a
week before. She was found by a
member of the crew on an Inland
Navigation company boat. Identi
fication was later made by her
husband, Jess Lovette.
Pallbearers were Seth Russell,
Clarence Nelson, Norman Nelson,
Emile Ash, Ed Skoubo and Jack
McEntire. Others attending the
funeral from here included Mrs.
Seth Russell, Mrs. Clarence Nels
on, Mrs. Emile Ash, Mrs. Ed
Skoubo, John McEntire and Mr.
and Mrs. Mike Cassidy.
Mrs. Lovette was born Nov. 21,
1901 in Waterville, Mo. She and
her husband have been long-time
residents of the Boardman area.
Morrow county livestockmen
would do well to keep themselves
well posted on an important live

out the nation Lepto-spirosis.
While many livestock men that
I have visited with during the
last two years show little con
cern about this disease, many
of these have had losses and our
prediction is that there will be
more. The disease evidently is
occurring in all communities
throughout the county. While
there are evidently things to
learn about the disease, vaccina
tion will protect the herd at least
temporarily. For those who might
like to keep themselves informed
on this disease I would suggest
as one source of information, an
article on Lepto-spirosis which
appeared in the October issue of
the Farm Journal.
Some interesting information
was found recently when one of
the state universities checked 50
samples of hay and grass silage.
While this is a little late for do
ing anything about it in putting
upfeed htis year it is nevertheless
information which might be
used as a basis for figuring feed
values for the winter ration and
planning a better job of harvest
ing and storage methods for an
other year. It was found that the
protein contents of hay samples
varied from 5.6 to 21.9; the
fiber, 23.3 to 39.3 and TDN, 42.5
to 62.9. Silage samples varied
in protein from 7..5 to 22.7; fib
er, 18.2 to 40.6 and TDN, 39.9 to
68.9. As anyone can see these
wide variations point out the
need for more exacting harvest
ing and storage methods and
that every feed operation is a
separate problem.
Every livestock operator Is re
minded of the beef commission
hearing to be held at the court
house in Pendleton beginning at
1:30 p.m., October 31. This hear
ing will determine interest for
or against holding a referendum
for a beef commission.
With the excellent wheat crop
in Morrow county this year with
high test weights and some of the
finest wheat ever grown,, farmers
might be interested in entering in
the Chicago International grain
and hay show which will be held
November 30 to December 7. Ent
ries must be made by November
10, however. Entry cards and the
premium list are available at this
office in case anyone is interested.
