Utility District
Tax Law Upheld
The Dalles (U.R) A cir
cuit judge has upheld the Ore
gon law allowing levying of
property taxes on people's util
0 ity districts.
The ruling was made yester
day by Judge Malcolm W. Wil
kinson in a case brought by he
Wasco County PUD.
"Hir ruling was in the form
of memorandum opinion in
favor of the defendants Was
co county, the State Tax Com
mission, city of The Dalles, Ore
gon Business and Tax Research
of Portland and six" individual
Wasco county taxpayers.
Except for the levy in the
1950 fiscal year, Judge Wilkin
son held property taxes levied
against the district were legal.
The PUD had filed suit on the
grounds that state law authoriz
ing levying of property taxes on
PUD's was illegal. .......
Judge Wilkinson said, "Wasco
county does have authority from
under the constitutional and
legislative provisions to impose,
levy and collect a tax upon the
plaintiff district for the years
1951, 1952 and 1953 and . . . such
levies for such years are lawful,
but . . . the levy for the year
3 4 1950 made under the 1939 act
. was void because of title limitations."
Power Cutback
In Northwest Ends
Portland (U.R) Dr. William
A. Pearl, Bonneville Power Ad
ministrator, last night announ
ced the end of the Northwest's
75 per cent cutback in interrup
tible power.
Dr. Pearl, who appeared on a
Portland television show, said
improved Columbia streamflows
had brought piecemeal restora
tions recently.
However, he said the decision
to restore power to aluminum
and other large industries was
reached yesterday because it was
felt wanner weather at Colum-
bia headwaters had brought con
ditions at federal dams back to
near ' normal.
Interruptible power loads
were cut 25 per cent early in
March. By the end of March, the
reduction was stepped up to the
full 75 per cent.
The cutbacks, which affected
14 big industrial plants, forced
purchase of more expensive
steam-generated power.

In The Day's
By FRANK JENKINS
Over east of the mountains
especially in Klamath and Lake
counties, and to a lesser extent
in Modoc and Siskiyou counties
in California the termination of
federal supervision of the Klam
ath Indian reservation is a mat
ter of the utmost interest and
importance.
The termination, with its ac
companying problem of remov
ing the Klamath Indians from
the status of wards of the federal
government and making them
over into lull citizens with all
the privileges and responsibili
ties of citizenship, was initiated
by the enactment, in the frenet
ic closing days of the congress
last summer, of Public Law 587.
It is under this law that the
transition of the Indians from
wards of the government to full
U.S. citizenship-is to take place.
Some imperfections in the law
are showing up, and these imper
fections are presenting problems.
I suppose interest in the Klam
ath reservation is much less keen
on the west side of the moun
tains. Still, 2500 ; SQUARE
MILES of area, containing some
of the finest pine timber and
some of the best grazing lands
in the West, can hardly fail to
be of interest to any citizen of
Oregon. The economy of the en
tire state will be affected by the
success or the lack of it that at
tends this rather staggering so
cial and economic experiment.
1'HIS IS the present situation,
in brief:
Public Law 537 provided for
a CHOICE on the part of the
members of the Klamath tribe.
They can either take their share
in cash and get out, or they can
stay with the ship.
In order to get the money to
pay off those who want out, Pub
lic Law 587 provides for the
SALE under certain prescribed
conditions of reservation proper
ty. Since the money must be
provided rather quickly, it
would amount to FORCED SALE
of the more liquid of the reser
vation assets.
The most liquid of the reser
vation's assets is its TIMBER.
In order to provide the amount
of money needed within the time
limits provided, the timber
would have to be sold to the
highest bidder.
rpHE RESULT of such a pro-
cedure would be to throw the
reservation timber probably
ihe finest body of Ponderosa
pine remaining in the West
on the market for IMMEDIATE
CUTTING, thus putting an end
to the policy of sustained yield
management under which this
tetifoe
ffigli Octane Gasoline
Caw being made today are the most power
ful ever built. And with this extra power you
also get extra economy more mile per
gallon. .
The reason for these benefits is that today's
engines are high compression engines and
make more complete use of the power available
in today's higher octane gasolines.
But did you know that the kind of driving
most people do most of the time -local driving
can, in a short time, create a condition that
offsets the extra power and economy that these
engines should get from high octane gasoline.
Why? Because this kind of driving increases
the build-up of certain combustion chamber
deposits the root of most power and gasoline
waste. And to overcome these deposits you
need a gasoline with a special kind of additive.
What happens is this
As your engine warms up, these deposits
warm up, too glow red hot. And these glow,
ing particles act like hot coals ignite the.
gasoline mixture ahead of time . . . before the .
Oxiy Shell Preminm Gasoline

News
great stand of timber has been
administered for decades.
rpHE RESULT of that would be
several years of wild boom
followed by a BUST.
The three able citizens of Ore
gon who make up the "manage
ment specialists group" that is
charged with the responsibility
for putting Public Law 587 into
effect could not bring them
selves to accept such a situation.
So they declined to serve un
less their contract was revised
in such a manner as to permit
them to proceed with the job of
termination of federal supervis
ion in a more orderly manner.
They convinced the federal
authorities that their position
was sound, and the contract was
changed.
rpHE MOST important change
in the contract was one grant
ing to the management special
ists the right to SUBMIT
AMENDMENTS TO THE LAW
FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF
CONGRESS. Mr. Watters, Mr.
Favell and Mr. Phillips (the
management specialists) believe
that if carefully drawn amend
ments permitting more orderly
handling of the reservation's
huge assets can be presented to
the congress at a time that is
less hectic than was the case
when Public Law 587 was en
acted congress was then hasten
ing to reach adjournment in a
Presidential campaign year
it will be possible to secure
amendment of the law providing
for wiser and more orderly liqui
dation procedures.
That is the long and the short
of the present situation.
XI ERE IS a' point we must all
keep clear in our minds:
THE LIQUIDATION OF FED
ERAL SUPERVISION OF THE
KLAMATH INDIAN RESERVA
TION IS A MATTER THAT IS
OF PRIMARY CONCERN TO
THE MEMBERS OF THE KLA
MATH TRIBE.
The Klamath reservation is
their heritage. It is all that re
mains to them of the country
that belonged to their ancestors.
In the process of termination of
federal supervision it is THEIR
WELFARE that must be primari
ly considered.
1UT
It seems to the three able
and public - spirited men who
compose this management spec
ialist group that the welfare of
the members of the Klamath
tribe and their descendents will
be better served by a more order
ly proces of liquidation than is
provided by Public Law 587.
This objective of a more or-
full
power
pistons reach proper firing position. This is
: called pre-firing and means that power works
against you instead of for you.
, In addition; these same deposits have another
power-wasting effect: They foul spark plugs,
causing your engine to miss..
Engineers will tell you there's nothing more
wasteful of power and gasoline than pre-firing
and spark plug "miss."
' But there is an answer there's one high
octane gasoline that gives you all the advantages
of high octane without the power-crippling
effects of these deposits Shell Premium Gaso
line with TCP.
TCP, the Shell-developed addidve, fireproofs
the deposits so that they no longer cause pre
firing. No longer can they glow xed hot and
ignite the gasoline mixture. And TCP stops
spark plug "miss," too. Your spark plugs do
the Job they are supposed to do.
: Start getting the full power built into your,
' engine. Get Shell Premium with TCP. It's the
most powerful gasoline your car
