TO THE
EDITOR
I wta somewhat disturbed
when I read the article In last
week's Gazette Tlmci, "Taxes
In County at Higher Level" Ccr
talnly tho title was correct, but
It trrmi the subject matter a bit
mlleadlnB. The 2.3 mills levy for
the Port of Morrow is brought
out very emphatically, but the
Increase In school costs In a
somewhat obscure, and vague
mnaner. Now, If we are going to
peak of the 2.3 mills Increase In
taxes for the rort of Morrow on
a mlllage basis, shouldn't we
speak of the Increase In the cott
for our schools on a mlllage ba
ftls ftlso?
As we all know, the special
four year levy for the school
building program is. this year,
9.4 mills. The County school cost
varies under the different code
numbers and Is based on a pro-

part of Morrow county should
pay Into the consolidated setup.
Thus we find It In Code 11, nep
pner, 4'J mills, up 4 6 over one
year ago. In Code 35 1. lone. 4S.3
mills, up 3 9 mills. In cone l.
Hardman. 54 mills, up 96 mills.
In Code 231, Boardman, 3G4
mills, down 8 mills. Other areas
are In proportion.
Now, If we add some of these
mlllages together, we can easily
see where the bulk of the cost
for this "Higher Level" Is: For
the lleppner area, It Is 14 mills,
lone. 13.3 mills. Hardman. 19
mills. Boardman up 1.4 mills
only, even with the special 9.4
mill levy.
Now. these mlllnces or costs
are. no doubt, Justifiable and for
the most part acceptable to the
tax paying public. At least they
were given opportunities to ap
nonr at hearings and as In the
ease of the 9.4 special levy for
the building program, an oppor
tunity at the ballot. So. also with
the 2.3 mill lew for the Port of
Morrow. To me, the Port District
! rr treat Importance to our
Morrow County. It Is an Invest
ment for the future and the only
vehicle we have that will en
courage the bringing In of new
Investments and the broadening
of our tax base.
There arc 36 port districts In
the Columbia and Snake River
areas. All counties bordering the
rivers In Washington and Ore
gon, except Yakima in Washing
ton and Sherman In Oregon,
have port districts. Of the ac
tive port districts, the Port of
Kennewick Is the oldest, having
been in operation since 1915.
Last vear tax returns for that
area, Benton county, from Indus
tries now located there, brought
in more than $320,000.
Let's not minimize the value of
our Port of Morrow.

Early last wwk a letter wa
sent to our mailing list Indicat
ing plana for a farm manage
ment short cum to be held in
llppnr on Feb. 1. 2. 8 and 9.
The letter endowed projxwed
topics for the short cuure and
was aimed at serving two pur
poses; oiw. to give those inter
ested ft chance to Indicate their
cholt of the topics offered and
also as an Indication of interest
In such ft short course. We are
limited to an enrollment of 45
persons and If Interest Is amall,
the short course would not be
held. Neighboring counties hold
ing auch a short course In past
years have filled their maximum
enrollments and have had to
turn Interested persona away.
To date we hav 19 replies.
They are atlll coming In. so It

th minimum reaulremenL If
vou have been puttine on sena
Ine vour ouestlonnalre sheet we
would aDoreclate having It at
once In order that our steering
committee can make their defl
nlte Diana. Proposed topics, from
which four of the most popular
will be chosen. Include general
economic considerations, enter
prise selections and combina
tions, Income tax management,
the corporation farm, credit and
finance, record analysis, and
size of farm. Those who might
have been overlooked when
them were mailed can get more
detailed Information at this office.
Of all the ways there are to
make living, farming must
surely rank near the top of the
list from the standpoint of un
certainty of results. What could
be more risky than Investing
your money In an enterprise con
trolled bv so many factors over
which you have little or no In
fluence? But farmers have the
courage and stamina to over
come all obstacles. Thats why
they are still farmers.
Just the same, many smart
farmers are hedging against ad
versity by regular savings. A re
cent report by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture shows that
American farmers own liquid fi
nancial assets in excess oi li
billion dollars $14. billion to be
exact. The largest single item in
this holding is United States
Savin es Bonds, with farmers
owning $5.2 billion worth, or 36
per cent. Their demand deposits
total $4.3 billion, and time de
posits $2.9 billion. Their cash in
hand was estimated to be f l 9
billion.
