to three losses which gave Eagle
vauey me uue witn Padberg
in secona. it is. not Known yet
the placings of MCGG or Turner,
Van Marter and Bryant. Iris
Campbell had high game of 185
for Padberg and Joyce Espy had
high series,
0 0 0
THE ELKS team said, "Just say
'we lost' and nothing more!"
They did lose all four to Hi-Ho
Monday night in the playoffs
and have second place. Gene
Orwick had high game of 182
and Art Watkins had the series
of 492. Guess they were just too
nervous to bowl. Anyway Satur

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?

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

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,

Attending the banquet in addit

prepared by mothers of the jun

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. But that is the people's

me tax is too far off base.
"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.
