PROPERTY TAX RELIEF Local property taxes nuy no longer bring (lie bulk of school support in California, as the result of a 6-1 state supreme court decision mhich declared the manner in hich schools receive more than half of their funds discriminates against the poor. The ruling says local property taxes, which supply 56 percent of school costs, "discriminates against the poor because it nukes the quality of a child's education a function of the wealth of his parents and neighbors." Sort of a strange approach but our courts have been riaking some strange rulings for quite a few years. The California ruling could have implications in Oregon, which also relies upon local property taxes for schools. Our neighbor to the south is now studying additional sales taxes, higher income taxes or a statewide property tax for school income. If the ruling holds up, It will mean state control of schools with little local influence. And if it comes to Oregon, you will have a far different tax system than you have today. Just another instance of community control being relegated to big government. (From Prineville Cen. Oregonian) General Manager Allen Ms tad of Kiiixua Corp.

Presi dent Joseph Q. Betezendor fer Jr. conducted a most informative, interesting and educational two day meeting. American Assn. of Denver had Field Consultant Rich ard N. Denny show a first band movie of the seal slau ghter on the Pribiloff Islands to promote fur business be cause he says. " It's one busi ness that is self sustaining, from the financial stand po in:." He reminded us the seal harvest must go on and not be controlled by emotio nal people! He must be in cahoots with Ann Lan ders who says "Ifs stupid and emotional not to wear fur so long as It is not on the endangered list." I could not refrain from putting in a plug to promote artificial fur business, since it canand will abolish much brutal cruelness in all forms of trapping of wild animals ot her than seals. A good ex ample of needless cruelty is the recentarticlestatingOre gon State College is now rais ing mink in cold - complet ely dark rooms to obtain cer tain color lines and save food bills by being able to slaughter at an earlier date. The Richland Kennel Club showed a well trained Dal mation dog and what the force of a choke chain could do--Much coughing and choking exhibited in between demands of the trainer. Some interested person at the meeting wanted to know how to break a dog from carrying rocks in it s mouth. The Kennel Club trainer's helper said, " TAPE A ROCK IT ITS MOUTH FOR 2 HOL'RS" i Wo one questioned my answer when I informed the group, in no uncertain terms, "THAT WAS AGAINST THE LAW TO TIE ANY DOG'S MOL'TH SHUT'. A wonder Guard Dog De monstration was put on by two Policemen with a large po lice type dog. Tbey empha- suzed all training was done with nothing but kindness and compassion for the animal. To my shock and horror a film on research was shown by biologist James Beamer of Battell Northwest. The sales talk was clean cages-good food to cover up for animals' torment and torture. But no way to covef up the waste in tax funds for repeat experi ments. He showed a help less dog in a gruesome plas tic type holding device with a smoking mask on, so they can study the effects of smok ing on the lungs . As if these smoke - to - death researchers didn't know the effects of smoking on peop le's lungs as well as ani mals. This smoking-to-deatb of helpless animals has been going on, the records tell us, since in the nineteen twen ties. I reminded him of this fact and be said " Well, we are still studying and try ing to come up with a pro per smoking mask for the dogs. "No forced smoking of animals could in any way be comparible to human smoking and tbey know it. It's bigh time we reminded our Legislators that our tax dol lars go to help the sick, di seased and dying people rat her than still studying har der ways to kill off more of man's best friends, the dogs. An interesting photo show ed a research goat that had made it to the top rail of exrepe the torment tortures. A small sized new breed of pig was shown with a wire contraption inserted in it's blood smeared chest cavity to produce the heat equivalent of a 60 watt light globe. One pig was presented a birthday part), cake and all because it had put up with this d.nice for two years - longer than any other had been able to tolerate and live. Representative Doris John son reported that the promo tion of horse and dog racing helps to lower taxes. Cock and dog fights are car ried on under cover, and to try tO halt illeol.rrvV fiirhfc it was suggested perhaps they could get a bill thrcugti to make it illegal to raise game chickens. Sure glad Dctt Krebs wai not there to censor my 3C3 feet of posters and wall pla ques that I designed for the lone Earth Day Program to exhibit cruel, barbaric use of 1080 traps, pollution and ot her animal injustices. The display hung on the Banquet Room Walls, for the two day- meetings of the humane Groups gathered for the four States Convention. Civilized Nations do not sanction or condone cruelty to animals! Ifs time we stopped looking the other way and pretending the evils do not exist. Sincerely, Lois Winchester Economy is a way of spend ing money without gettingany fun out of it. , Helen Dyer sent us this To some women, marriage is like a drug. They end up taking oiie dope after an other. Mrs. W R Smith of Hamil ton, Mont, sent a clipping from their local newsiuper telling of the arrest of a LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the Fdilor, I am writing this letter in hoes that when everyone is finished reading it they will be angry enough to take time to consider ho they would like such a thing to happen to them if they were open ing a new business or should I say trying to open a new business? One month ago the owners of Cal's Cafe submitted their application for a dispenser's license so they could open up the now empty room in the rear of the cafe for a lounge, and put this space luck there to use again. The Liquor Commission denied their appeal as they felt the community wasn't large enough to warrant the bus iness. Cal's petitioned airain this month, this time they took numerous letters written by merchants and concerned ci tizens, also a petition signed by hundreds supporting Cal's efforts. Judge Jones was also present in their behalf, voicing his approval and to assure the commission there definitely was need for the tusiness. The Liquor Commission again denied their appeal for the license for the same in sane reasons! A local competitor was pre sent to oppose granting a lic ense to Cal's. Regardless how small a. community may be compe tition is what encourages each merchant to put forth their best efforts to accomodate each and every customer. Monopoly over a business in a community can be more detrimental to that business than competition when they come to take their customers for granted, which more often than not happens. Twenty years prior to closure last year Cal's was lisenced to dispense liquor. Upon opening under new man agement, it is necessary to regain a new lisence. If in the past there was enough business for two lounges, there should be no question as to whether there is now, with the ever grow ing population. We must learn to compromise-not monopo lize. Therefore, i encourage everyone to voice their ap proval of the lisence by way of letter to the Oregon State Liquor Control Commission. It will cost only time and eight cents and I think it's a good, worthwhile invest ment for the community. Sincerely, Mrs. Dale Adlard fugitive t) Sheriff deHiti tliern.

REMINISCE! 37 Years Ago 1915 A unique solution of the origin of the word "Celllo" and how it came to be ap plied to tne upper end of the portage around the ob structions to navigation in the Columbia above The Dilles has been submitted by Cap tain W.P. Gray. He explain ed that there was no land ing on the Oregon side bet ween Deschutes and Five Mile rapids. "In I860, the discovery of gold mines increased the river traffic so much it was imperative that a better point for landing and shipping faci lities be found. After inves tigation the OregonSteam Na vigation Co. found a narrow cleft in the cliff with per pendicular walls less than 50 feet apart, where loaded wa gons could be lowered down with a rope and 12 mule teams could pull the empty wagons up. It was not even an Indian trail. After the discovery of this chute the company landed lumber for the construction of three steamboats, the Ya kima, Webfool and Nei Perce Chief, and the place was call ed Celilo with accent on the second syllable. "It was rumoredat the time that when the man who found the road had explained toLaw rence Coe the possibility of covering tlie bottom of the chute with gravel and dirt, and lowering the wagons down Coe exclaimed, "I see, he low." " If any other old timer or Indian is a better guesser than I am. let us hear from him." 37 Years Ago-1935 penny store changes heads; cash promoted J D. CASH, Manager of the J.C.
