rEDFOKD MAIL TRIBUOT,, MFDFORD, (TREGOX, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1936. PAGE FIVE 1 FOR STATE HELP IN UEUOF TAXES Senator Plans Legislation On Principle That National Reservations Should Not Be Burden On State ROSEBURG, Ore.. Sept. 1. (APj Natlonal legislation to establish, a principle that reservations of natural resources for national purposes must not be wholly at the expense of the states will be Introduced before, the coming session of congress by U. S. Senator Charles L. McNary. attorney Cordon of Roseburg, legal counsel for Oregon land grant counties, reported here today. Cordon returned last night from Salem, where he had a long Interview with Senator McNary concerning policies with relation to O. and C. grant lands, federal acqui sition of privately owned timber lands and sustained yield regulations now pending before congress. Senawr McNary. Cordon reports, declared himself firmly for a policy of federal payments to states and counties In lieu of tax values of re sources withdrawn for conservation purposes. For Safeguarding .lights He proposes, according to the at torney for the land grant counties, to Introduce bills before congress to provide federal participation In local government on a ratio equal to the tax values of lands or resources ac quired and withdrawn from taxation. The senator in the Interview, Cordon said, declared .himself strongly In fa vor of a federal conservation policy. particularly with regard to sustained timber plelds. but advocates policies to protect states and counties from reductions In the tax base. 'Senator McNnry clearly stated his position with reference to all reserved natural resources of the United States as involving the moral duty on the part of the federal govern ment to reimburse statqa. In which such resources are being withheld, by payments equal to the reasonable share of the cost of state govern ment that 8Uoh resources ought to bear." Cordon said. Should Adopt Principle "He declared the time has tome for a broad government policy recogniz lng the. principle that reservations lor national purposes must not oe wholly at the expense of states where the reservations are made but the federal contributions must be made In lieu of tax values which would otherwise have existed. .

Attorney Cordon quoted Senator McNary's statement with regard to sustained yield regulations and fed eral acquisition of privately owned timber lands as follows: "I am whole -heartodly In favor of the sustained -yield principle, which simply means -that timber shall be considered as a perpetual crop ana shall be handled accordingly. A ra tional sustained yield program will perpetuate Oregon's greatest single resource. For Federal Acquisition "I believe that federal acquisition of privately owned timber land, par ticularly In remote and Inaccessible areas, Is an essential part of any er fectlve sustained yield program, but I am not in favor of any federal legislation for either of these pur poses until the tax question involved has been first determined and put Into effect by congress. "The right of the state of Oregon to have these resources, even though federally owned, contribute to the cost of local government. Is In my opinion the first and paramount matter for consideration. . "Department heads in Washington are working on the problem at this time and I am keeping in close touch with their efforts. I expect to Introduce appropriate bills, in the comlrg congress to afford this vitally necessary protection." "My interview with Senator Mc Nary," Cordon said, "was at the di rection of the executive committee of the land grant counties and was a direct result of the introduction of bills ,at the lost session of con gress providing for a change in man agement of O. and C. lands and pub lic acquisition of additional timber lands without first safeguarding the local tax rights. Must Protect Tax Base "The county courts' represent the common taxpayers and are determin ed to protect the tax base of the state against any encroachment. The courts and people generally concede that reasonable regulations for forest management and perpetuation are desirable, but point out that this sustained yield program Is of national benefit as well as local benefit and contend that the national benefit require that the nation bear Its Just share of local government which otherwise would be compelled to carry by Increased taxation the total cost of a national program." French General Plans were carried forward today for the pear and tomato festival to be held in Talent on Friday and Sat urday, October 2 and 3. Committees under the general chairmanship of Ray Schumacher are at work In ar ranging an extensive program for the two-day celebration which will be held on the Talent high school grounds and in the school gymnasium.

Johnson, Republican nominee for state senator, waft tndnrs?d. ROCKY POINT, R. I., Sept. 1. (AP) Col. Frank Knox. Republican vice -presidential nominee, asserted today that labor, which "until our time fought Ita own battles," bene fited from staying out of party poli tics. He added, In an address prepared for a rally and clambake here, that a government partial to "one form of labor organization or another" is "un American." On 22,0p0-Mlle Tour. Knox came to1 Rhode Island aboard his special campaign train, which set out yesterday from Manchester, N. H., on a 22,000-mile tour. The role of government in labor re lations, Knox said, should be that of "umpire," seeking to "preserve de cency and order," and prevent vio lence. He said In part; "What Is this administration's pol icy toward labor? For more than half a century labor In this country has feared the encroachment of the fed era! government In the relationship between labor and capital. Wisely and properly, labor has realized, that a central government's Invasion of this field is a two-edged sword. But the present administration has rushed into this field. Ml A Took Sides. "The NRA took sides tn labor rela tions, apparently on the side of labor. But actually, the NRA, if it erratic and blundering career had not been stopped, would have bound labor in the chains of governmental coercion. "What happened to Italian labor when it helped to establish a govern mental dictatorship over all economic life? What happened to German labor unions after they helped to estabiisn the present government? What hap pened to Russian labor when It estab lished a new system that it thought would give labor all the product of enterprise? Every workingman In America should read tho story of la bor in Europe." Girl Swimmers Find Clothing Draping Goats WILLIAMS. Sept. 1. (SpU Persons passing by the White bridge swimming hole one recent afternoon were somewhat startled to meet a strange -look lng trio, which, upon closer Investigation, was seen as three goats, attrac tively gowned In young ladies' dress. Near the swimming pool, three girls In bathing suits were lrefully searching for the clothes they had so carefully concealed before entering the water and manufacturing alibis to present doubting parents as explanation for the loss of their apparel. The goats, in their natural con dition, had been spied by several young boys who felt the animals would be much more attractive if clad and proceeded to dress them In the girls garments, the action being another event in the feud which rages off and on between the youthful parties. After being carefully groomed, the bleating quadrupeds were loosed on the road to dazzle the passerby. on the optometry examiners board and another on the engineer exam iners board.
