Unhappy Prospect
Unless members of the 1955 legislature, which
meejs in about six weeks, wield a bigger budgetary
ax than they are expected to do, they're going to wind
up with a monumental headache similar to the one
so familiar to all householders: How to pay the bills?
Financially, Oregon has been living 6n "borrow
ed time" for a" number of years. ,
TOURING the war, when thousands of workers came
swarming into the state to build ships and do oth
er, wartime -jobs, Oregon's income tax collections
swelled unprecedentedly. Giant reserves of cash were
built up, despite an extremely liberal tax rebate sys
tem. ' - ' - ,
"At one time this reserve amounted to more than
$70,000,000. '
But as income tax collections became smaller aft
er the war, as the cost of running a state increased
(like everything else), and as tax rates continued un
changed for all the years after 1940, the reserve got
smaller and smaller.
Each successive legislature was content to post
pone that fiscal headache as long as possible.
HTHIS time, though, ii looks as though the legislature
.is simply going to have to face facts the state's
capital reserve is about gone. The Oregonian in an
editorial Sunday estimated it-would be only about
$8,000,000 by the time the new fiscal year starts next
July 1.
. "A conservative estimate is that the legislature
meeting in Janunary must raise around $50,000,000
from taxes not now being levied to avoid a deficit in
the 1955-57 biennium," the Oregonian says. "Pos
sibly, the prospective deficit will be nearer $70,000,-
000." . .
"THE editorial goes on to explain that while the state
7 has not collected property taxes for a long time,
property taxpayers are paying heavily, just the same,
to support local government, principally schools..
r "Property taxpayers in Oregon will pay, in the
single fiscal year 1954-55, a total of $134,905,338
a 10 per cent increase over last year. "Of this total,
$84,100,000, 62.3 per cent,' will be in local school
taxes. Double that for the biennium," the Oregonian
continues. 1 ,
CLSEWHERE on this page appears a story about
T4 why school taxes are up. It costs more these days
to provide education for our children. The average
annual cost this year in Jackson county is $313 per
child, compared to $240 in the years 1948 and 1949.
As has been remarked 'in these columns before,
school taxes, as long as they are wisely spent, are
the last things any of us should be complaining about,
because good education is probably the best invest
ment any of us can make for future generations.
BUT this doesn't lessen
vvaiv iiavc tu iavca uic xavu vuav x kjjml wc
es for local school and governmental purposes are
about as high as they should, or can, go.,
What they have to be concerned with, then, is how
to pay for the operation of the state government. If
income taxes at their present rates won't do it, and if
added property taxes are not to be considered, what
remains?..
VI7HAT remains, of course, is a sales tax or some
thing like it with a different name. ' .
And here the legislators are faced with another
fact: The voters of Oregon have repeatedly, arid de
cisively, defeated proposals for, a sales tax. They are
apt to do so again.
THERE is an added complication to the problem. If
the legislators decide not to do much of anything
about the problem, they will, in effect, be. deciding in
favor of automatic increases in property taxes.
For the , state, law provides that property 'taxes
be levied, and it is only in. the flush war arid post-war
years that they have not been collected.
As theT Oregonian puts it:' ; ' ; ; , "
If it (the legislature) does not find other tax sources to
meet a deficit . . . the state levy on real property inopera
, tive since 1940 because of the income tax surplus will go
back into effect, automatically, to the extent of 6 mills -,
' (actually the levy will range from 5 mills in some counties
;; to 9 mills in others). Add this to the local property taxes
for counties, cities and school districts, and the result is
painfuL " .
J "t ' ' 'aft ' i
AS far as the legislators are concerned, the result is
painful no matter how it is viewed.
It would be exceedingly difficult to decrease state
expenditures by any marked degree, for most of them,
the biggest ones, are pretty well fixed for school
support, institutions, (hospitals, prisons, etc.), and
welfare. " ' " '" "" " "' ' "' i
Somebody's going to have to pay. And for the
legislators to make the decision is going to be almost
as painful as doing the paying.
A 1955 legislator's lot is not a happy one.' E.A.

Matter of Fact au
The President And The Bomb
Washington Again and
again in recent month, President
Eisenhower has reverted to the
theme of peace,
so that he
s ometimes
seems almost
obsessed by the
word itself. In
a recent short
speech, for ex
ample, he re
f e r r e d to
"peace" nine
teen times in
Stewart Alsop twelve brief
paragraphs.
According to those who should
know, this is not propaganda, or
politics, or just talk." Ever since
the Eniwetok tests, the almost
intolerably cruel facts about the
new type hydrogen bomb es
pecially the bomb's terrible ra
dioactive side-effects have im
pressed themselves more and
more deeply on the President's
mind. Thus when he says that,
"since the invention of nuclear
weapons . . . there is no alterna
tive topeace . . . "he means just
what he says.
In other words, like Sir Win
ston Churchill, who reached the
same conclusion earlier, the
President
is now convinc
ed that some
way short of
appeasem e n t
or surrender
must he found
to avert the
horrors of hy
drogen war.
Thus, long be

spoke, the President had already
decided to seek a "meeting at
the summ.it", provided certain
essential pre-conditions were
met.
The reasoning behind this de
cision is reportedly about as fol
lows: In -the first place or at
least so the intelligence esti
mates reaching the President's
desk indicate this country will
have a decisive advantage over
the Soviet Union in terms of nu
clear power for a period of three
to five years.
This advantage is measured,
not so much in terms of bombs
as in the means of delivering
bombs. This country has now
turned out its 1000th B-47 medi
um ranee iet bomber, and the
very long range B-52 is not at
last really beginning to roll off
the production lines. The So
viet equivalents the TU-39s and
the TU-37s are hardly oeyona
the prototype stage. 0 so, at
least, the intelligence people as
sure the President.

High Vfinds Bring
Irish Prosperity
Connemara, Ireland (U.R)
High winds and raging storms
spell disaster for, many, but for
the men of rugged Connemara,
on Ireland's western Atlantic
coast, they mean prosperity.
In the coastal village of Kil-
kieran, 40 miles from Galway, an
industry has been developed
which thrives on bad weather.
Alginates Ltd. produces seaweed
meal and pays out up to $30,000
a year to the residents for sea
weed used m the process.
The weeds are called sea rods,
known locally as Slatai Mara
(sea sticks) and grow in deep
water. Nature is the harvester.
When the Atlantic is churned by
;tornis the weeds are thrown
from the i sea bed and washed
ashore along the western sea
board. The : hardy residents of
Connemara gather the rods and
dry them in the open air. Then
they cart them to the factory
where they are paid $14 a ton.
The collection of rods is organized-
by the government's
lands department in conjunction
with the factory.
In the Kilkieran factory, the
rods are processed and the fin
ished products exported 'to Scot
land, to reappear in . various
shapes and forms paint, glue,
sausages, paper and many other
things -which one- would not
ordinarily associate witn the
weeds of the deep.

five year period is interpreted
rather simply: During this per
iod, this country can knock the
Soviet Union out while the So
viets cannot knock this country
out There are, obviously, two
ways to use this period of grace.
One way is to force a preven
tive showdown while the advan
tage still rests with us. But, as
the President, has publicy said,
he flatly rules out this course. He
reportedly refuses to discuss the
possibility of preventive war,
even in private, and even on a
hypothetical basis. As of today,
this country would be badly hurt
in a nuclear war, and our allies
probably destroyed. But this is
apparently not the chief reason
for the President's refusal to-con-sider
preventive war. He finds
the mass killing required in a
knock-out blow at the Soviet
Union profoundly morally abhor
rent. The only other rational alter
native to a preventive showdown
is negotiation. This is the course
the President has chosen. As he
has been at pains to make clear,
he does not believe that commu
nism has changed its essential
nature.
Yet intelligence and diplomat
ic reports have given him some
reason to believe that the awful
characteristics of the new type
of hydrogen bomb which the
Soviets were the first to explode
is at least to some extent in
fluencing Soviet policy, just as it
is influencing American- and
British policy.
Malenkov's public statement
that a nuclear war now means
"the end of civilization" has
been repeated in private in even
stronger terms by other Rus
sians, notably by V. M. Mclotov
at the Geneva conference. And
the statement, after all, is true
and the Soviet rulers have
every reason to know that it is
true.

They paid for them with hoes

Bradford and Massasoit made a
treaty of friendship- that lasted
until 1661, a period of FORTY
years.
That's what sound and honest
and able leaders WHO HAVE
CONFIDENCE IN EACH

TT is interesting to speculate as
to what might have happened
all the way across our continent
from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
if there had been Massasoits and
Governor Bradfords on - BOTH
SIDES. I like to think that if
such had been the case the
whites and the reds would have
merged gradually and naturally
and amicably-and all the bloody
and terrible massacres on both
sides would have been avoided.
Sound and honest and able
leadership is a WONDERFUL
thing. . -
ITOW came it about that this
era of friendship and coopera
tion between the whites and the
reds that began in the early days
of Plymouth colony was ended?
It's a sad story. EventuaUy, the
king of England gave permission
to . various English adventurers
to establish trading posts north
ward along the shore of Cape
Cod bay. These men were rough
and ready fellows who were
MORE INTERESTED , IN
HEAVY PROFITS THAN IN
GOOD CITIZENSHIP
They wanted to get rich quick,
and didn't care much how they
did it. They stole and they lied
and they cheated. That ended the
era of peace and good will. ''
ANE more question:
" How came it that the whites
and the reds got along so ami
cably and happily at the BE
GINNING?. .
That, too, is an interesting
story.
The Pilgrims landed at Ply
mouth in September. That win
ter the colony was swept by a
strange disease that carried off
44 of their number. All those
terrible months they lived in
deadly fear of the surrounding
Indians. What they didn't know
was that two years earlier an un
known disease HAD KILLED
OFF MOST OF THE INDIANS.
What happened, you see, is
that at Plymouth in the spring of
1621 the two races, the reds and
the whites, came together in the
spirit of humbleness and toler

ing to figures compiled by Ore
gon Business and Tax Research.
The total average expense per
child for 1948-49 was $240 in
Jackson county. By 1952-53, this
had increased to $313, according
to OBTR figures.
The non-partisan taxpayer as
sociation breaks the figures
down this way: ' ' -.
Costs Shown : ':::.
In 1948-49, the Jackson coun
ty total cost per pupil in average
daily attendance included -$148
for instructional salaries (includ
ing superintendents and super
visors), $15 for transportation.
and $76 . fo other current ex-i
penditures.
By 1952-1953, these costs have
risen to $192 for instructional
salaries, $17 for transportation,
and $103 for other current ex
penditures. .
Despite the $93 increase in
total current expenditures, Jack
son county's costs rose less than
that of some other counties dur
ing the four-year period.
In 1948-49, Jackson county s
total current expenditure per
average daily attendance was the
13th lowest in the state. Lowest
on the list at that . time , was
Crook county, in sparsely settled
central Oregon, with a total ex
penditure of only $197.
Eighth Lowest
In 1952-53, Jackson ' county's
total current expenditure per
average daily attendance was
eighth lowest in the state: Wash
ington and Multnomah counties
tied for the lowest-cost spot with
expenditures of $291 per pupils
Jackson county exactly Tield
its own during the four years in
comparison with the statewide
county average. Jackson county
was $6 below the state average
of $246 for 1948-49, and was still
$6 below the state average of
$319 in 1952-53.
A breakdown of , the total cur
rent expenditures for the 1952
53 year show that Jackson coun
ty's instructional salaries made
up 61 per cent of the total cost,
compared with 62 per cent for
the state. Jackson county's trans
portation costs were 5.4 per cent,
compared with 5.9 for the state,
and the county's : other current
expenditures were 32.9 per cent
of the total cost compared with
nearly 32 per cent for the state
average.
Less Than Others
Jackson county's 1952-53 an
nual total current expenditures
were less than those for three of
its neighboring- ? counties. The
figures are, Jackson county,
$313, Josephine county, $336,
Klamath county, $344, and Doug
las county, $327.
Despite the large areas includ
ed .in some Jackson county
school districts, transportation
costs in Jackson county are much
less a factor in total costs than
they are in some parts of the
state. For the 1952-53 year, trans
portation costs in Oregon ranged
from only $3 in Multnomah
county, to $117 in Sherman coun

Box That Talks

"It Speaks our ownYeo
words." So said Grandma Pan of
the Yeo tribe, there in Asia. And
she drew up a stool to listen to
the Strang e
words of the
strange God
who loves all
the Yeo people
and sent, his
Son, Jesus
Christ, to save
them from
their sins. This
Son of God
can also save,
the Yeo people
from the fear
and worship of evil spirits. The
box gave it all in Yeo words
and Grandmother took it all in.
How silly of the missionary to
ask if she understood it. And
the kiddies and the men came
close to hear.
World-Wide: God give
eternal life to the Yeo people
as well as to us Americans. And
with eternal life, God gives new
ways, days, hope and cheer to '
all who possess Christ in. their
heart as God the Saviour who
died for their sins. This Mess
