Ph. 676-9433 HeDDner Dear Editor: It is of my opinion that an editor and publisher has the right to express his views on critical situations, but to threat en voters does not cover his criteria. The Morrow county school budget was not defeated by the little "pet peeves" of the voters but contention with the school board and administrator. Boardman voted for the school budget under duress because they need the support of the board and administrator in keep ing their own school. Lexing ton and lone voters were threat ened that their school could be closed if they did not vote, "yes," for the present budget. Thank goodness these voters did not let fear overrule intelligence. Listed below are some of the reasons why the present budget is not acceptable to me as a voter and tax payer. 1. Additional salary increases for teachers. 2. Hiring of additional ad ministralivc personnel. 3. Duplication of school bus routes. 4. Contradictory reports of cosls on the completion of the new Hcppner-Lrxington High school. 5. Directors and adminstralor's indifference to the people's sug gestions at board meetings, and continuing to make decisions against voters will. (i. General dissatisfaction with Ihe county school superinten dent. You state that each budget election costs money, and delay n getting under way on hseal matters is also cosily. One thing is obvious to the voters that it is costing a million dollars to educate around eleven hundred students. Schools have become a major industry to Morrow county. The tax payer can't af ford education at this high cost. Dissension is at an all time high in Morrow county. If the board had allowed the people to vote on the major contro versial issues our present sit uation in all probability could have been avoided. This is what I as a Morrow county voter have answered. Are these "pet peeves" or would you call these reasons not specific enough? Vesta Kilkenny Lexington Advisory Board Although a 4c per pack cig arette tax and increased income taxes have been endorsed by the House of Representatives as the answer to Oregon's 1963-65 rev enue needs, strong indications are that the Senate won t see things this way. These two bills, along with several others approved by the House in its "tax package" to raise about $60 million more during the coming biennium, are now being considered by the Residents Study Water Systems Mrs. E.

Mr. and Mrs. Dale Shingle decker, Ricky and Randy of Ayer, Wn., spent Sunday in Irri gon visiting Mrs. Shingledecker's folks, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Gray- neai. The Morrow County Home Ex tension Unit held a class Thurs day, April 18, on the patio of Ihe Bill Graybeal residence, for project leaders, unit officers and county committee women of North Morrow county.

Riverside Has Annual Banquet The Riverside High school junior-senior banquet was held in the A. C. Houghton cafctor ium Tuesday evening, April 16, in a tropical setting affected by a waterfall, flamingo birds, fish nets and Japanese globes. Attending the banquet in addit ion to the junior and senior classes was the Riverside High school faculty and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Van Houte. The meal was prepared by mothers of the jun ior girls, and the sophomore boys served the banquet. Miss Patti Part low reigned as queen of the Junior-Senior Prom held at Riverside High school Saturday evening, April 20. Theme for the evening was "Stairway to the Stars." Miss Sandi Davis, Eastern Oregon College sophomore, was by Robert H. Eisner Senate Taxation Committee. We talked with Its chairman, Senator Boyd Overhulse, who represents Crook, Deschutes, Jeff erson and Lake counties. The Madras Democrat is a past pres ident of the Senate. He was elec ted to that post as a freshman senator during the 1957 session. "I doubt if the Senate will adopt a cigarette tax," he said, adding that it may not even get out of the taxation commit tee. "As pf now, the committee members are split 4-3 against it. We probablv will hold it. un. til we see if it is really needed. "If a cigarette tax does pass the Senate, it would only be as a last-ditch measure to meet the state's budget needs," he feels. "A cigarette tax is not an easy tax to iustifv." Sen. Over. hulse added. "It's just a form of sales tax." He emphasized that he also opposes a general sales tax an opinion which seems to have strong support in the Sen ate. Inasmuch as the Senate Tax ation Committee had not heard testimony on the income tax or cigarette tax bills at the time of our interview, Sen. Overhulse said he could not accurately pre dict the final version of the Senate's tax plan. "We do hope to come out with a bill that is fair and equitable to all Oregonians," he said. "Of course, there will he some com plaining.

Rasmussen, Charles Davis and Dean Davis were plaintiffs.

"If they feel that way, that's O.K.," he added. "That, too, is their right, and I'm all for it.' We asked him for his views on the income tax bill (H.B, 1846), approved by the House. "I think the Senate will mod lfy this bill," he said, "and at tempt to get most of the needed revenue from it, rather than combining it with a cigarette tax and the so-called 'one-shot' approaches." Sen. Overhulse im plied that the $60 million fig ure might be to0 high, and that perhaps less revenue will be needed. He said that income tax base broadening is necessary, and that he "favors everybody pay ing a little toward the costs of government but not to the point where it creates a hardship on the low-income groups. He personally favors a mini mum filing fee, advocated by Senate President Ben Musa and his wife, Rep. Katherine Musa. This involves a minimum non refundable charge of from $5 to $7.50 to be paid by each tax payer. It, in itself, would broaden the tax base. recently named as one of the nine Saber pledges. The Sabers, girls' service organization, select their pledges on the basis of grade point average and cam pus activities.
