rale. Mr. and Mrs. Wes Sherman,
publishers, have agreed to give
them haif of the price of each
new subscription they obtain, as
an introductory offer to obtain
now readers and to help the
class on its project.
Thus, for each $450 received
for a new one-year subscription,
the class will receive $2.25 for
its project.
The campaign was started
last week when Rod (Spike)
Pardee of the Gazette-Times
staff met with the junior class
and explained the plan through
the cooperation of Principal Ron

were given to the class sales
men, utd they will issue re

The reason for not naming the
boy and girl of the month reg
ularly is that the classes had
not elected the various students
to represent their class, thus
the student council couldn't
vote on school winners until re
cently. Death Takes Father

Judge Jones, a member of an
advisory committee of the As
sociation of Oregon counties,
that has been appointed to con
sider all legislation of Interest
to counties, had planned to re
view, before the Chamber, some
of the bills now before the leg
islature. Because of lack of time,
he was able to touch on only
a few. One would require the
office of assessor to be given
certain qualifications. This the
counties are opposing, he said,
because it discriminates against
the one office.
"Such qualifications are not
even set for the President of
the United States." he said.
Another bill would transfer
Juvenile Jurisdiction from the
county courts. The Judge said
that no benefit from this bill
would be derived here, and If
It passed, a commissioner would
have to be appointed for juven
ile cases In Morrow county.

TO THE EDITOR
February 23. V.HV7
To the Editor:
I am a gasoline distributor
and also a non-paid tax collect
or for the State of Oregon and
the Federal Government, and
would like to take this oppor
tunity to point out a few things
that Ls happening to our tax
monev that Is collected to build
and improve highways, but is
diverted to other uses. As you
are probably aware, the Stale
and federal government ore ad
vocating another Increase In
gasoline taxes.
First. I want to review the
price trends. In the last ten
years, rents have Increased
13'", transportation has Jumped
T2 and the consumer price In
dex for nil items has advanced
16rv. but gasoline, excluding
taxes. ctsts no more now than
It did ten years ago at the
wholesale level. Gasoline is
rouchlv the same price as It
was back In the early l'Xiu's,
although the quality of the fuel
Itself has Increased remarkab
ly. The big increase is the tax.
" The states and federal gov
ernment have channeled an es
timated &J2 billion dollars of
our sjwclal taxes paid by high
way users Into non road pro
grams during the years 1957
through VMi. Oil Facts reports
through Petroleum News. Over
the ten year period federal
highway user taxes withheld
from road building totaled more
than $17 billion dollars. The
figure for fiscal vear 16 alone
was $1.8 billion.
During the past ten years cer
tain states diverted a total of
more than $4 billion dlolars
away from their highway pro
grams. The annual diversion
figure grew from $305 million
in 19f)7 to a record Strb million
in 19G5 according to figures
published by the U. S. Bureau
of Public Roads.
State highway user tax fig
ures for 16 are not yet avail
able, but Oil Facts says no re
duction In the amount of mon
ey diverted is anticipated.
I am a strong booster for
good roads and very proud of
our highway system, but Juit
think how many more miles of
roads that could have been built
if all the tax money collected
for road building had been used
for such.
Any one of the same opinion
should take a few minutes of
his time and write or wire leg
islators requesting that the
road tax monies collected be
used for the purpose of build
ing and maintaining roads and
not diverted to other pet proj
ects. I can see no need of in
creasing gasoline taxes at this
time if this is done.
The Increased cigarette tax
that was supposed to offset
property taxes will bear watch
ing to see that the money is
used for the purpose It was col
lected for and not diverted In
to other use.
