Portland U.R) Thousands of Oregonians were expected to head for high lakes as they open to fishing Saturday but the State Game Commission warned that they check on road condi tions to make certain which lakes are accessible. More than 1000 new fishing holes will be available. The opening includes such popular spots as Crane Prairie reservoir and Davis, North and " South Twin, and Lava lakes. May Be Ice Bound Because of the late spring, many high lakes still will be icebound for several weeks to come and many trails and roads also will be blocked with snow. East and Paulina lakes are heavily coated with ice and the camp grounds are covered with Heed for Balance in Oregon's Tax Program Expressed by Sen. Lovry in Report to Club Need for a balance between income and sales taxes to help solve Oregon's taxation and fi nancial problems was expressed by State Sen. Phil Lowry in a talk yesterday to Medford Ki wanians at Rogue Valley Coun try club. Lowry, speaking at the service club's luncheon meeting, out lined the work and accomplish ments of the 1955 session of the state legislature. Discusses Measures Taken Discussing ta rmeasure? taken and the failure of the sales tax bill to pass the Senate, the sen ator declared that steps should be taken toward balance in the Oregon tax system. The systems in Oregon and Washington are badly out of balance, he said. Lowry mentioned to Kiwanians that all of them should be aware of the impact of taxes on busi ness. He brought out that op portunities can be taxed away or limited. Defeat of the sales tax pro posal was the result of a combi nation of factors, Lowry report ed. He stated that the Senate got the bill from the House of Representatives late in the ses sion, that it disagreed drastically with the House measure, that took the "sugar coating"out, and that politics had entered in. "We can't afford any longer to make the sales tax a political football," Lowry asserted. He indicated that he favored the house version of the measure. Describes Income Change In income tax measures passed, Lowry reported, personal exemp tions were reduced from S600'to S500 and a 45 per cent surtax was imposed. The legislation was designed to raise $42,000,000. The utility tax exemption was taken out along with the "sky scraper" uaclsew cO ihh scraper" clause which provided exemptions for corporations drawing most of their income from rentals. A letter to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission to increase its prices and a cigarette tax were other means taken to pro state. Lowry said it appears posi tive that the cigarette measure will be referred to the people. Cites Responsibility The senator spoke of the leg islature's responsibility to see that the state's $600,000,000 snow. Ice is breaking up in Big Lava and anglers should be able to fish the weekend. The road to Big Lava is plowed to within three-quarters of a mile. The North Century drive is open as far as" Bear Springs. Fishermen were warned to take warm clothing, sleeping bags and tents and late snow storms are possible. Chains and shovels should be standard equipment. Grain and Seed Use Seen in Hay Shortage Hay shortages in Oregon and neighboring states, coupled with below average yield prospects this year, may prompt harvest ing of more grain and seed crops as hay, believe Oregon State col lege extension specialists. A scant 150,000 tons of hay on Oregon farms May 1, roughly half as much as a year earlier and only enough for two or three weeks normal feeding, was re corded by the USDA crop re: porting service. Water shortages in some areas of the state have dropped yield prospects for "tame" hay 8 per cen below last year, and the out look for "wild hay is even darker although somewhat im proved by April rains and snow. Wild hay meadows normally produce about one-fifth of Ore gon's tonnage. Pastures may prove good bets for many Oregon farmers unable to make secdings of other crops planned earlier. OSC economists advise. Recent build-ups in feed grain and livestock, they say. may leave Oregon short on hay and pasture for some time. 4-H Club News Trail Sewing Club .

Steel Production To Continue High New York (U.R) The steel industry's operating rate may now be hitting its peak for 1955 but production will continue high, according to Benjamin F. Fairless, retired chairman of U. S. Steel Corp. Fairless told newsmen prior to the opening of the American Iron & Steel Institute meeting Wednesday that "there isn't any thing that can stop the year from being a good one." The steel executive, still active in U.S. Steel affairs. despite his recent retirement as chairman, also expressed optimism on the steel industry's prospects. He held to a previous prediction that 108,000,000 ingot tons would be produced in 1955, sec ond highest total on record. ENGENE MAN CHOSEN Eugene (U.R) Dr. Eldon L.

"People are demanding more and more that the legislature solve problems they formerly solved themselves," the senator de clared. People have demanded that services be first class, according to Lowry, but the price for the individual citizen is high. He cited Oregon, at $78.83 per per son, as fourth highest in per capita debt on the state level. He pointed to a decline in normal income from 1952 and said the economy of the state is not so stable as "we would like to have it be." Building Program For this reason, Lowry stated, the $14,900,000 building program was set up by appropriation and not on a bond basis. The senator brought out too, that the legislature does not have a free hand on a tax program becuse it cannot be sure its ac tions will stand up before a referendum. Saying that the financial mat ters drew attention away from other issues. Lowry spoke of the general criticism of the legisla ture. But, he stressed that a number of important bills were passed. He listed legislation con cerning the parole system, sex deviates, meat inspection, work men's compensation, Portland State college, subdistricting in Multnomah county, transfer of the motor vehicle department from the secretary of state to the governor's office, water resoures, comic books and salary readjust ments. Not 'Do Nothing' A total of 774 bills out of 1,300 submitted were passed, the legis lator reported. The legislature was not a "do nothing" body, he asserted. Senator Lowry said that he was not disillusioned by his leg islative experience. He expressed the belief that Oregon has a good, clean government." Most men in the legislature are ex ceedingly competent, he said. He concluded with the remark that "we've got to ride" the budget and finance problems a lot harder than has been done in the past.
