SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, March 3, 1955 Diamond Lake Road Winter Opening Draws Rejection Portland (U.R) The State Highway Commission opened bids on another big batch of projects and met with delega tions from various cities today after awarding contracts total ing $1,500,000, and rejecting some requested work because it would cost too much. The commission also got a report from R. H. Baldock, state highway engineer, saying the president'3 proposed highway program would be a needed shot in the arm to Oregon. Request Turned Down The commission turned down a proposal to widen the Pacific highway west through White- son in Yamhill county. This would cost S6000 but the com mission decided nothing be spent until money is available for a new alignment of the highway vhich would cost $135,000. The commission also denied: A proposal to improve the territorial secondary highway between Lorane in Lane county and Anlauf in Douglas county. A request of the city of Wheeler to widen U.S. Highway 101 through the city. A proposal for widening a 3.6 mile section of the Alsea Dead v,ood highway. A proposal to keep the east and west Diamond lake sec ondary highways free of snow pnd sanded throughout the win ter. Overall cost, including equipment, would be about $200,000. Stale Park Approved The commission approved a state park east of Roseburg at Susan creek and to spend some $2000 to repair the Yaquina lighthouse at Newport. Baldock said that the presi dent's highway bill and one the administration proposes to in troduce next year would give the state $52,550,000 a year for 10 years for highways. Baldock said that next year, when the last of Oregon's $72,000,000 worth of bonds revenue is gone, the state will have to drop back from $42,000,000 this year to $23,000,000 for highway con struction unless Congress passes some form of additional help. The commission decided to hold its next meeting April 13 14 and the following one on May 25-26.

"Washington (U.R) The senior senatdr from Wisconsin has a complaint. But he has no copy right on it the Ampriran i taxpayeragrees 5 with Sen. Alex ander Wiley, the Republican 1 from Chippe wa Falls, that income tax form 1040 stiU is too complex. "Even the new or 'simpli- Harman Micnois fied form' is so complicated," says the gray-haired senator, who will be 71 in May, "that it would take a law yer, or a Ph. D., or a certified public accountant to understand it." The Wisconsin law-giver is a lawyer, sure. Also a Iiisiness man. Still, the new forms con fuse him. He's not alone. He gets a lot of mail, not only from the home of the Badger, but also from around the country. A lot of it, he says, contains complaints against the new fed eral income tax forms. Simplified Form "Congress," he says, "previ ously had written in numerous statutory changes to be of help to the taxpayer in reducing cer tain of his tax liabilities. But one of the results is a 'simplified' form a form which is full of all sort of instruction difficult to follow." The senator fills out his own income tax forms. Then he turns them over to a board of experts Medford Man Flown South for Treatment Jackson R. Hartley, 1060 Shafer lane, an employee of the California Oregon Power com pany, was flown to San Fran cisco for emergency medical treatment last evening. Hartley was in Dunsmuir when he became ill, and doctors decided he should go to the Uni versity of California hospital in the Bay city. Because there is snow on the airport near Duns muir, he was taken to the field at Montague, where he -was picked up by the twin-engine Mercy Flights air ambulance plane. His wife accompanied him south. Hartley was the 331st patient carried by the non-profit cor poration's Mercy planes. Medical Masseurs Meet Monday Night.

Mon. thru Sat. hired to help members of Con gress. Generally he doesn't run into much trouble, but some times he does. The common man winds up in a lather of con fusion. Take the dairy farmer in Wis consin, whose problems are com plicated by the fact that he buys a cow, sells her and buys a cou ple of heifers. All of that has to be recorded, to be sure. But the farmer is not allowed to bunch things. He has to record every sale or trade if he is to be honest. To simplify that sort of performance, naturally would be difficult, but Sen. Wiley thinks it could be done. Farmer's Problem "The farmer's problem is apart from that of the average taxpayer. There is no reason why the average American with comparatively easy tax in formation to write up should have to consult all sorts of ex perts in the process." The senator thinks that guys like you and me should be able to understand them without fid dling around; without stumbling through five-point type that Grandma couldn't read without her tri-focals. "There is," says the senator, no place in the tax forms for gobbledygook." The new tax form didn t de lete any of the complexity it added a little. Pity Asked So Sen. Wiley is asking the Internal Revenue Bureau to back off a few paces and take pity on the taxpayer. "I am asking the revenue peo ple," the senator says, "to" have some of its best people get really down to cases and make these forms simpler." It should be said that the sena tor has a private complaint; and he isn't alone. "Winds up," he says, ''that I always seem to owe something."
