Queen Staci O’Brien crowned Thank heavens for those hardy souls who didn’t stray off the Oregon Trail. As Oregonians we have been fortunate to not have major ear thquakes that trash buildings and roads or to experience bone-chilling weather that has recently taken a death toll. While others in the nation are suffering, enjoying our region’s balmy winter weather gives one a smug but guilty feeling. Perhaps we’ll have to make elbow room for those who don’t care tor a whole lot of shaking disastrous fires, floods or arctic weather. It’s easy to understand how any state’s infrastructure can become over-taxed with dense population. New technology is being used to build structures that are more earthquake resistant. However when it comes to prevention, it’s now known that many California homes that burned during those 1993 brush fires could have been protected. The owners weren't allowed to clear or distrub the surrounding ground to protect the habitat of an endangered species, the kangaroo rat. Preserving the habitat for wildlife has backfired on The Nature Conservancy. Set-aside reserves are now being infested with nox ious weeds-in some cases making it unsuitable for the species under protection. An example is the yellow star thistle that is spreading cast and north from California. It’s also difficult to be optimistic about the NAFTA pact that has environmental phrases written into it. Will the U.S. be committed to the expense of global environmental protection? However NAF TA is heralded as a step forward in opening up markets for the U.S. The USDA forecasts that under this agreement American wheat ex ports to Mexico will increase from around 700.000 tons in 1992-93 to 1.5 million tons annually within a decade of this origin of this pact. Yet I read that almost daily 200.000 tons of Canadian grain have poured into the U.S. American farmers with extensive grain holdings of lower quality wheat have had difficulty finding a market. The Cana dian wheat that saturated the market has been subsidized by transpor tation costs. Grain prices have been lowered by about 30 cents due to this movement. At the same time the NAFTA agreement will allow unlimited amounts of feeder cattle and fed cattle to enter the U.S. Some analysts predict that expansion of cattle numbers in both Mexico and Canada would create millions more cattle to saturate U.S. markets. Will these animals be thoroughly tested to prevent the spread of diseases? Also written into this lengthy NAFTA document is the Mexican governments mandate that says all private investment in and opera tion of, gas and oil is prohibited in Mexico. Any other foreign-owned plant in Mexico could be taken over by the government there with no compensation. The Mexican government also sets wage price con trols. Yet our country allows any foreign investors to operate here. I’d like to have an explanation of free trade. The U.S. cattle industry is still the largest segment of American agriculture. Although American cattle are less than 10 percent of the world’s cattle numbers, the U.S. still produces a little over 22 percent of all the world's beef-a quality product that receives world wide acceptance. And while all American food producers are less than five percent of the population, they supply this country with the cheapest food source. As stewards of the land, they must balance rising production costs as they endeavor to protect the resources upon which they depend. Touching on these issues that I don’t begin to understand will hopefully make our tax paying producers raise their voices for fair treatment. Meanwhile it's time to get on with important stuff, like income tax calculations, even though we seem to have little say in how Uncle Sam spends our tax dollars.
