To the Editor:
I wonder tf IhU ditt-uwlon
shouM be continue, however
there are three points of h ch
y.u dissatrreed with me which
need some clarification. They are
Certainly Harvey Aluminum in
The Palles h sbout twice the
valuation rf Morrow county and
wc pay about JUOO.OoO taxes
cn our valuation, but they paid
rnly $293,000 on double ours.
Harvey has about WO children
In school and at the rate of $r00
each, the cost f education would
be $100.0(io and they paid but
$220,000 school tax, add to that.
$l.'A0O0 apiece for property tax
on 40 family employee! which
U $fi0,000 gross or about $100,000
net loss on the schools alone.
This has always been true of our
local saw mill.
They paid $16,000 tax. employ
..... ,,av about $150 each, prop
4fl families pay about
SC.(KX). This Is a gross for the
mill and employees of $22,000
,.t t-hirh $17,000 It school tax
Now about 80 school children arc
from saw mill rallies. Ai
.,,Kt f.f r:on each or $56,000 gross
It has caused the farmers to
subsidize the mill at the rate
t tfvi or mor Der year. Truly
V ' f ' - a -
Industry must be subsidized In
some way. cheap raw materials,
free sites and reduced taxes, but
must w do It.
Th next point Is certainly
a farm depression comes at a
different time than inuusiry.
More truth was never spoken
since farmers are the largest
users of the four basics, namely
steel, chemicals, rubber, and pet
roleum. Like night follows day,
after three years of farm depres
sion comes the castrophlc Indus
trial depression with all Its un
employment. Lastly the word comparative
was used In connection with the
description of our police tasks,"
"comparatively Idle," as compar
cd with the policing of an In
dustrial city or county.
Due perhaps to our discusslno,
Mr Kennedy of the State Devel
opment Commission spent some
time with me last luesuay. ine
Dalles figures were confirmed
by him. Another thing, the new
nrnrmsorl industry here Is of a
proposed inuusiry nere is oi a
. - i in.. on.ii,
eiense iiaiuit-, mm me "p
, i.
Wnen tJOCing looses us uiiiuavu,
what will become of our econ
omy? Mr Kennedy admitted this
might be a problem.
Mr Kennedy also made the
statement several times that our
resource was thru our farm or
ganizations to try for a broader
tax base at the next session of
the Legislature. Do you think
that possible?
It Is an odd circumstance that
the state of Washington taxes
the employee, Oregon taxes the
employer, In the major part;
Washington has Industries and
Is broke. Oregon has practically
no industry and is In fine shape
financially. Why can't we tax
both groups In both states and
keep in the mdldle of the road?
It Is not my purpose to try to
stop Industry from coming here
but to point up the inequalities
in our tax laws and try to pre
pare ourselves for this coming
adjustment. Let's think, we
spend $1,000,000 to educate 1500,
children in Morrow county now.
It will cost $2,000,000 for the
next 1500, one million for edu
cation and one million for school

with the cattle buying Industry
agreed that 651 of the livers or

because of fluke. They, therefore
buy all of their cattle on tne
assumption that their liver will

control could bc found of the
snails which spread the liver
fluke in pastures. Research is

Another discussion was that

happy over the systematic treat
