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.

DEAR LETTER EDITOR:
State Federation of Humane
Societies held their Annual
Meeting, at Pasco. 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

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.

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."

Brightly begins
the second century
of the Sun.
1971 was a record year, with our
Company writing over two billion
dollars of life insurance.
Nearly twenty billion dollars of
life insurance protected Sun Life
policyholders at the end of 1971.
In 1972 we are maintaining
current dividend scales to individujl
participating policyholders in
North America.
This means that under our system of dividend
distribution cash dividends to most policyholders will
be higher in 1972 than in 1971.
We shall continue to offer the best possible service
and value.
And we shall continue to recognise that good
insurance service requires the understanding, knowledge
and careful attention to detail of qualified people.
