Oregon May Escape
Real Properly Levy
Km
Portland (U.R) State Sen.
Rudie Willielm says Oregon may
be able to escape a state levy on
O real property next year even
though the three-cent per pack
tax on cigarettes was referred
and may be defeated in the next
general election.
The reason, Wilhelm told the
Oregon Building Congress yes
terday, is that income tax rev
enues are coming in much better
than had been expected. In July,
he said, income tax receipts were
$5,000,000 above the year before,
andfn the six months to June
30 they were up more than

MAIL TRIBUNE
Why Not Get the Facts?
Excursions for newspaper men and women to
Europe have become quite fashionable-of late, and
according to reports have been successful both for the
promoters and the patrons.
But why go so far away and at such great expense?
Why not have a newspaper excursion nearer home
say to Knoxville, Tennessee and the Tennessee Valley
authonty?
Perhaps if there were
would be less fiction published in the newspapers
about TVA and its alleged demonstration of un-Amer
ican "creeping socialism.
"IITE NOTE in the Oregonian of the 18th inst, for
example, a communication from D." F. Taft of
Portland who says he

the United States and they all clearly indicate, quote
"The Tennessee Valley set-up does not pay' its own way,
that claims of benefits of flood control, navigation, etc., etc.,
are without basis of fact, and that the overall operation is
heavily subsidized by the general taxpayers."
I
F MR. TAFT no relation of William Howard we
.imagine would visit
records, while he talked
of the valley, he would,
nonsense further.
For regardless of what
Comptroller General may
HAS paid its way, and does
floods in the Tennessee Valley, and it HAS not only
transf ormed water transportation along the Tennessee
river, but thereby has reduced railroad freight rates
in the state.
TVA has not only lowered electric light and power
rates also but has paid back
000,000 to date, and eventually will pay the govern
ment loan all back, the average annual payments into
the US Treasury will, it is believed, soon exceed
$50,000,000 a year!
IT IS true the "Authority"
tax and for a very simple reason, to-wit: its net
income goes back to the
profit. But it does make payments in lieu of taxes to
state and local governments in Tennessee, many
millions of dollars throughout the years m fact.
As a TVA official report declared a year or two
ago, quote:.
"If you want a measure of what the consumer of TVA
electricty pays toward the cost of running the US govern
ment that is a tax-equivalent ponder" this fact:
"In the past 12 years (since TVA started large scale
operations) each consumer on the average has paid for the
cost of producing the electricity and enough more to cover
the government cost of money and in addition has paid
about $13 each year through TVA to the Federal govern
ment; this is to .be compared with an average of about $10
per consumer paid to the federal government through,
private power companies in the form of income taxes."
' V
DERHAPS the most illuminating and instructive
by-product of such an excursion however would
result from conversations
and vicinity that an excursionist would naturally meet
in the course of a necessarily brief visit.
If the TVA is really as
democracy as the Private
no one in Tennessee seems
These citizens moreover certainly can't be dis
missed as Communists or Fellow Travelers, they have
no more use for "socialism," creeping or galloping,
than the Secretary of the US Treasury.
But they do have the deepest devotion imaginable
to TVA, won't even listen to any candidate for polit
ical office who opposes it, and almost unanimously
maintain it has transformed their town and state from
a "Tobacco Road" area to "Easy Street," from where
a large percentage were on
them pay an income tax, and take a real cleiignt in
doing so.
IN OTHER words, the proof of the pudding is in the
eating thereof. Such a visit to Tennessee would
certainly remove all doubt, as far as the representa
tives of the US press are concerned, that no matter
what the public power project may be called for
political purposes; as a practical matter, in the state
of Tennessee it is there to stay, and woe be to the
political candidate, local, state or national, who runs
on any platform to destroy it. The people 01 l ennessee
want it because it has helped them in a big way and
when such help was particularly needed.
AS Gordon R. Clapp,
marked in a speech before the Kiwanis Club of
Memphis, Tennessee, quote :
"The world is searching for better and more efficient
ways to use natural resources without loss of individual
freedom or the destruction of real competitive private
enterprise. We are demonstrating in the Tennessee Valley
that this can be done; that the people farmers, workers,
business-men and citizens in general, can mobilize their
energies around the use of a great river and the more pro-
ductive development of the forests, minerals and the soil?
The people of the Tennessee Valley have proved that as
they do these things, agriculture and industry thrive and
diversify and the individual finds greater opportunity for
his talents. We are successfully demonstrating that this
development helps the whole country; it is paying off in
a big way."
No one can deny the US government made this
multiple project possible. And no one willing to study
the problem would deny either that had the govern
ment not so acted or if in the future it should refuse
so to act the good fortune that came to Tennessee
will come to no other state. For what is known as
"Private Power" will never be willing or able to
do in this particular field what the nation can do, and
has done in the direction of securing multiple benefits
to the people by utilizing the maximum potentialities
of our great river systems. R.R.R.

Festival Praised
People who like good enter
tainment are waking up to what
devotees of William Shakespeare
have known for years. The best
legitimate theatre produced in
Oregon is being seen every Aug
ust at the Shakespearean Festi
val in Ashland.
Although it will mark its 21st
year next season, the festival
has long since come "of age."
It has been a financial success
and it shows it. The once-hard
benches have been replaced with
more comfortable auditorium
type seats. The costuming is
splendid, rich in color and done
with imagination.
The pace of the plays is fast
with no intermissions and
with scenes blending into one
another as they can with the
near-absence of scenery on a
Shakespearean stage.
Let those who say they can't
understand Elizabethan Shake
speare go and hear for them
selves that diction and expres
sion put the full meanings of the
words into the ears of even the
untutored listener.
Many people are afraid of The
Bard. They shun "culture", fear
ing boredom. They forget that
human emotions haven't
changed in the over-300 years
since Shakespeare's time. He
wrote of human frailties and
strengths such as no one has be
fore or since. Salem Statesman.

T1HE LATEST prison ruckus is
at Lincoln, Neb., where the

orders to shoot or kill, if nec-

The guardsmen were called
in after about 225 rebels had
set fire to six prison shops and
smashed equipment and furni
ture in their cell blocks. For
tunately, the show of force ended
the uprising and it was not nec
essary to do any shooting. Fac

the prisoners returned to their

Editorial Comment
Helping the Power Trust
Sen. Wayne Morse has put his
finger on something that was
given little notice during the
lengthy , hearings on develop
ment in the Hells Canyon stretch
of the Snake river. Sen. Morse
has pointed out that during the
proceedings before the Federal
Power commission, Idaho Pow
er Co. claimed that its proposed
three dams would not cost the
United States any money. But
on August of 1953 the company
had filed with the Office of
Defense Mobilization accelerat
ed amortization applications for
two of three dams for which
licenses have since been issued.
Sen. Morse recalls that Wash
ington Water Co. was allowed
certificates for 65 per cent of
its request for accelerated amor
tization on Cabinet Gorge dam.
And on that basis Idaho Power
would realize a federal tax sav
ings in the amount of $31,357,
000 during the first five years
of its operation of Brownlee and
Oxbow dams. Uncle Sam been

The day's mail. "From time to
time I've heard about it raining
frogs, " fish and earthworms. Is
there anything to this? asks
D.R.B.
"My scout son wants to know
how the sea becomes salty?"
writes C.B.
When the earth was first
formed, apparently it was sur
rounded by a vast and almost im
penetrable cloud of fog. Then as
the earth's heat lessened, the
great mass of vapor surrounding
it condensed and fell as rain
and must have fallen for cen
turies and centuries.
This original rain water which
now covers about three-fourths
of our earth's surface, was prac
tically distilled and free of salt.
But some of the rain fell on land,
first composed mostly of rock.
Nearly all of these rocks con
tained salt and some of the salt
leached out and was drained off
to the sea (even today, all fresh
water streams contain traces of
salt which they carry to the sea).
By constant evaporation and
precipitation through the mil
lions and billions of years, more
and more of this salt washed
into the sea. In time, the once
pure water became saltier and
saltier as it is today.
Even so, in the tropics where
both evaporation and rainfall are
much greater than in the arid
polar regions, the seas too are
much-saltier.
About raining fish: Yes, it can
rain" them but frogs, and
earthworms are another matter.
Most of these "frogs" are toads
there are many species of small
toads which burrow into the
earth where they remain in
active and unseen during dry
spells. Then, when it rains they
emerge from their burrows and
become conspicuous by their sud
den activity.
The same goes for earthworms,
which are flooded out of their
burrows. If they were to remain
in the ground they might well
drown. -
As for the fish, they can be
lifted from large bodies of water
by waterspouts. In certain areas,
waterspouts are not uncommon.
In fact, when I was a war cor
respondent during World War II,
I saw three waterspouts in one
afternoon from aboard a navy
search plane off the Aircraft
Carrier Enterprise.
Many authenticated cases . of
'fish" falling from the skies have
been reported mostly small
ocean fish, but in one instance,
in Belfast, Ireland, a seven-inch-er
was reported. These fish are
lifted from the ocean as tor
nadoes lift roofs from buildings
and deposit them miles away.
Cattle, too, for that matter.

New York City (Special to
Mail Tribune) What is the truth
about the stock market? Is it
very high or
is it not?
Should stocks
be sold now?
Should invest
ments be made
now? These
are questions
which this col
umn will try to
answer this
Soger W. Babua, week.
Unfortunately, the stock mar
ket is judged by the average
daily price of thirty industrial
stocks. It is true that this list,
after adjustments for "splits,"
mergers, etc., is near its all-time
high. To be specific, these 30
stocks are now at about 450
compared with 350 a year ago,
381 in the Fall of 1929; and 41
at their all-time low of 1932. But
when averaging all 1500 stocks
listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, I find that all are not
too high, based upon earnings.
I especially want readers to
remember the above, when this
Industrial Average begins to
slide off as it surely will some
day. Don't then think that busi
ness is going on the rocks and
that our prosperous days are
over. Just as a high Industrial
Stock Average does not now give
you more customers and profits,
so your business can continue
good later when these thirty
stocks slump. Protect your inven
tories, keep your people em
ployed, and continue your adver
tising, whatever these thirty
stocks do.
Few Stocks Useless
As True Measure
Not only are these thirty
stocks an unfair measure of the
entire market, but an analysis of
even these "thirty" is important.
For instance, one day recently
this thirty stock average went
up (the newspapers broadcast
"Highest Prices Ever Known"),
when actually more stocks made
new "lows" for the year than
made new "highs." The concen
trated buying, by pension funds
and investment trusts, of a few
stocks like General Motors, Du
Pont, and Eastman Kodak, ran
this average up so it was useless
as a true measure of the stock
market or of business.
The average of 265 common
stocks issued weekly by the S. E.
C. is a far better barometer. Be
sides, the S.E.C divides its list
into six divisions, viz: (l) Dur
able Products, (2) Non-durable
Products, (3) Transportation, (4)
Public Utilities, (5) Trade, Fi
nance, and Service, and (6) Min
ing. An analysis of these 265
shows also that while the high-
priced stocks were gaining in
price an average of eight per
cent, the low-priced stocks lost
one per cent. Probably many
readers of this column will say:
"All other stocks have gone up
but mine." But I reply: "What of
it? You seldom take profits when
your stocks do go up. Like a
'hog', you always wait for higher
prices before selling, and then
you wait too long and your profit
is lost."
Person Said Better Off
To Buy for Income
One big day when the thirty
stocks were jumping, of the 1231
stocks traded, 636 closed lower,
while only 361 closed higher.
and 234 closed unchanged. Many
of these last 234 were "invest
ment stocks" which people buy
to hold for dividends. Some of
these have paid dividends for 50
years. I forecast thdt you would
be better off to forget speculating
for profit, and to have an estate
of sound dividend payers of hon
estly operated companies. Re
member that money earning 6
per cent will double in 12 years.
, Hence, when you ask me if
this is a time to sell or buy
stocks, I reply that now is the
time to do both; in other words,
this is a time to switch. Take
your profits on the popular "blue
chips," which are yielding only
four per cent. Invest one half
of your money in some of the
234 (mostly dividend payers)

Merchandising Stocks
Investment Favorite
One can get 6 percent today
by buying good chain-store
stocks. Every week I invest some
money in the Variety Chains (5
and 10 cent stores), at whatever
price the stocks are selling. If
you want to know the reason ,
"why," just go into one of these
"dime" stores and note the 10,000
useful items which they have at
sale for "cash and carry." They
have no credit accounts, no de
livery costs, and they sell good
merchandise at low prices. The
stores fear neither inflation nor
depression and have the security
of geographical distribution.
When they do more advestising,
they will make even more
money. They set local merchants
an example of efficiency.
Jackson County
Rated Third in
Log Harvesting
Jackson county ranks third
among the 10 top log harvesting
counties in the state of Oregon,
according to figures released by
State Forester George Spaur.
Jackson county's production
of 669,068 board feet in 1954 top
ped neighboring county's log
board feet production by 426,
104,000 board feet. Josephine
county was 10th on the list.
Oregon is now in its 17th
consecutive year of maintaining
national leadership in timber
harvest, Spaur said. Cutting 8.
960,735,000 board feet of logs in
1954. Oregon loggers harvested
the second largest volume of
timber ever cut in Oregon.
Salvage Increase Reasons
Spaur cited more intensive
manufacturing processes, ex
panded production of plywood,
pulp and new uses for wood,
combined with steady markets,
as reasons for the increased sal
vage of materials left in the
woods by earlier operations.
"The forest industries have
made outstanding progress in.
recovering and utilizing left
over wood on previously cut
over lands," Spaur stated. He
also credited private tree term
programs with playing "a major
role" in reclaiming great vol
umes of usable wood.
108,000 Employed '
"More than 108,000 loggers,
millworkers, machinists, truck
ers and other skilled persons
were employed, to produce the
forest products," Spaur added,
stating that harvesting and pro
cessing of wood was Oregon's
