It Can Happen Here
The other day we heard a little story, told
In humor, which points up a sobering possibility.
The story went like this:
A clerk was handed a pay envelope which
by error, contained a blank check. He moaned,
"Just what I've been afraid of: My deductions
have caught up with my salary."
Ridiculous? It was meant to be; It was
meant to get a laugh by lightly making fun of
the deductions which get larger every year.
But it could happen. Don't ever think other
wise. When the federal Income tax amendment
was passed, no one dreamed that the tax would
today amount to 22 percent of even the
lowest salaries and as high as 91 percent of
some larger Incomes. There is no retreat In
sight; all the Big Government planners grow
more energetic In pushing Ideas which call for
more and more federal spending, consequently
more and more federal taxes. It could happen
here ... not by mistake as In the clerk's case,
but for real.
The government planners are not the sole
cause. The American people themselves contri
bute their mighty share by continuously asking
more and more financing from Uncle Boun
tiful, bB well as by accepting without protest
the many encroaching programs of the govern
ment Itself for getting Into business, providing
assistance programs and otherwise doing many
things which the people should be doing for
themselves. On the whole, the American people
are no longer freedom lovers . . . they are security
lovers and they want that security financed by
the "free money" wheih they believe grows along
the shores of the Potomac along with the Jap
anese cherry trees.
The people will wake up, obviously after it Is
too late. They will come to realize that money
does not grow on Washington trees, that it is
not free, that it first must be taken away from
them before the government can spend It on
their pet projects. Every time the government
gets Into business or industry, like TVA or making
rope, the government Is crowding out some tax
paying individual or firm. And the more tax
payers who are crowded out of business or in
dustry, the more the government must increase
taxes on others.
Because government programs do not pay
taxes; they eat taxes. There is no argument a
gainst paying taxes to finance for the necessary
acts of government; but paying taxes so govern
ment can crowd taxpayers out of business is
quite another thing.
People often stir themselves enough to
scream about the taxes they are paying, but
screams about taxes will never do the least good.
In order to accomplish anything at all, the
screams and protests must be directed -against
the unnecessary spending.
Ye, the tax deductions on every paycheck
grow larger every year, and unless the people
wake up and start screaming, It is feasible that
the deductions can catch up with the salaries.

TO THE
EDITOR .
To The Editor:
At the district meeting of the
Association of Oregon Counties,
held In Hood River, September
15, one of the suggestions made
was that the courts make per
iodic reports or observations of
progress made and actions taken
on projects within the county.
No doubt this is a very timely
suggestion and especially so,
since the local paper can be used
as a media through which such
reports can be made. Personally,
I am not adverse to this and
will be glad to make such re
ports when we really have some
thing to report
Just now, there are several
matters that should be of Inter
est. This Boardman bombing
range release for one. No doubt
you have another little write
up about this in today's paper.
Certainly we consider this meet
ing Important. Getting this large
tract of land wrested from the
military and back on the tax
rolls will not just happen. We

must work at It. We have been
working on this for some time
and no doubt have made some
progress.
The Air Force has indicated
that the bombing range is sur
plus to them. The range has
been temporarily turned over to
the Navy for high altitude bom
bing. It is not exactly suitable
for this because of Its strategic
location. We asked for a tempor
ary delay In the formal transfer
and got it. This time to be used
by Morrow county residents to
present plans to have the land
returned to private ownership.
But how to proceed is something
else again. Actually the whole
thing has been transferred to
the Seattle district, so our deal
ings will be with the Corps of
Engineers. Seattle.
We have need for this large
tract of land. Much of It Is the
very best for agricultural pur
poses. And water is close at hand
with the climate Ideal. Also
much Industrial development is
bound to come into the north
end of our county. With low cost
power, water in abundance, and
good transportation facilities,
nothing can be more favorable.
We have to decide as to how
we wish to proceed. At this meet
ing in the Boardman schoolhouse
auditorium, October 1st at 8:00

cussed. Forrest E Cooper, from
Lakeview, will again be with us.
Also Herbert G West, from Walla

others, possibly someone from

office. We must make some def
inite decisions. It Is hoped many
from this south end of the county
can attend.
Something else that Is of vital
Importance, that I might report
on just now. In the public works
bill recently approved bv Cone-
ress we are In line for $17,940.00
for resurvey of our Willow Creek
flood control project. It means
that we have our foot in the
door. Final appropriation or allo
cation of these funds is now up
to the Corps of Engineers but
should be definite by spring.

County Agent's News
By N C ANDERSON
Recently this office with the
help of Manning Becker and
Frank Conklin, farm manage
ment specialists from Oregon
State College made the final
step In the completion of the
wheat management study under
way with ten farmers through
out the county this year. The
wheat management study was
set up as a result of requests
from the farm crops committee
of the Agricultural Planning
Conference. Harold Snider, lone,
chairman of this sub-committee,
was in charge.
With the help of the farm
management specialists, a group
of farmers have kept record of
their operations, both summer
fallow and grain production.
These now will be summarized
at the college alter which the
final meeting of this group will
be held and the cost operations
determined. This Information
will be helpful In several ways.
First it will give a break down
of Just what it mleht cost to
perform each individual summer
fallow operation as well as in
pointing out the differences In
cost of various types of cultiva
tion in different parts of the
county. The information on what
it cost these farmers to spray
their own weeds, compared to the
custom sprayed charge will be
found. There should be informa
tion on the acreage it takes to
keep a particular set of machin
ery busy and where the break
ing nolnt is In ownlncr two trac
tors, for Instance. There will be
a lot of good information from
this one year study and already
many of those who have carried
out the studv this vear are In
terested In continuing for an
other year. Those who have com
pleted their records for the year
are David Baker. Harold Snider,
Bob Peterson and Louis Carlson,
lone; Paul Tews and Harry
Proudfoot. Echo: and Kenneth
Turner, Heppner. Others partici
pating In the study are Melvin
Moyer, Kenneth Smouse and
John Graves.
With the excellent results ob
tained In the last couple of years
with the new systematic insec
ticides for grub control, those
who have not used them are
showing much interest. Last year
a number of our livestock oper
ators either sprayed with Co-Ral
or used Troelene boluses. For
those who plan to use either a-
gain this year, applications can
be made any time between now
and November 1. Some difficul
ties were encountered last vear
here from unfavorable reaction
of the animals to the treatment
when application was made af
ter November L As well as con
trolling cattle grubs, excellent
louse control has been obtained
with the Co-Ral spray in some
cases here, from the bolus treat
ment.
While both of these treatments
come with complete instructions
on the container It might be
well to suggest that the direc
tions be closely followed. Co-Ral

do not treat within 60 days of

were side effects such as bloat

symptoms disappear from 48 to

Why we built two cars for 1960 . . .
as different as night and day,
On October t-for the first time In Chevrolet's tf-year htstory-you will be able to walk into your
dealer's showroom and see two totally different kinds of cars. One is the conventional 1960 Chevrolet,
brand new In appearance and more beautifully refined and luxurious than you can imagine. U The
other is unlike any car we or anybody else ever built-th revolutionary Corvair, with the engine in tht
rear where it bekmgs in a compact car. We'd like to tell you why we built two such different cars,
how we built them and for whom wt built them.
Why two kinds of cars? Because
America itself has been going through
some big changes in the past few
years. Our cities have been straining
at their seams. Traffic is jam-packed.
Parking space is at a premium.
And our suburbs have spread like
wildfire. People are living farther from
their work, driving more miles on
crowded streets. There is new leisure
time-but more things to do. There's
a new standard of living and more
need for two cars in the family garage.
In short, America's automobile
needs have become so complex that
no one kind of car can satisfy them
completely. That is why we at Chev
rolet, keeping tab on these trends,
have had a revolutionary compact car
in the planning stages for more than
nine yean.
Thus, when we decided three years
ago to prepare for production of such
a car we were ready to build it the way
it should be built There was no ned
for a hasty "crash" program that
would create only a sawed-off version
of a conventional car.
That it why the two can you
will see in your dealer's showroom
October 2 will be two entirely
different kinds of can. On is the
conventional '60 Chevrolet-brand
new in beauty, with new space inside,
sew ipirit under the hood, a new
feeling of sumptuousness and luxury
never before attained by any car In its
field. There is great V8 power linked
with new thrift, plus Chevrolet's
superb 6-cylinder engine. It is a
traditional car that comes even closer
to perfection in silence, in room, in
ease of control, in velvety ride than
any other car we have ever made.
The other is the Corvair, a compact
car that is astonishingly different from
anything ever built in this country.
It has to be because this is a st'x
pmenger compact car, with a really
remarkable performance ... a car
designed specifically to American
standards of comfort, to American
traffic needs.
The engine is in the rear. Among
the basic advantages resulting from
this engine location are better traction
on a compact 108-inch wheelbase and
practically flat floor. But to be
placed in the rear, the engine had to
be ultra light and ultra short. So
Corvair's engine is totally new
mostly aluminum and air cooled; it
weighs about 40 per cent less than
conventional engines. It is t "flat"
boriiontally opposed six-ao it is only
thm eyllnden long ... and that
leaves i lot more room for passengers.
Another weight saving: like modern
airplanes, the Corvair has no frame;
the body-shell supplies it great struc
tural strength . . . it's a welded unit
that is virtually rattle-free.
The ride is fantastic. But to get it
we had to design independent sus
pension at every wheel; conventional
springing would give a compact car a
choppy ride. Right now we'll make
one prediction: no other U.S. compact
car will ride so comfortably, hold the
road so firmly and handle so beautifully.
Now there are two kinds of can
from Chevrolet-because it takes two
kinds of cars to serve America's needs
today. If you love luxury-the utmost
in luxury and if you want generous
interior space, breath-taking perform
ance, automatic drives and power
assists then the conventional '60
Chevrolet may be your choice.
If easy parking, traffic agility and
utmost economy are high on your list
then you should seriously consider
the Corvair. But the best thing to do
is to look these two new can over at
your Chevrolet dealer's . . . take them
out for a drive. It may be that the
only logical choice for your 'family
between two can like this is-both.
They make a perfect pair.
