y which spreads the burden fairly on all. v
'To carry out these broad responsibilities she believes:
: 1. That a sales tax, carefully drawn with exemptions to
" N protect low-income families and farmers, and with
; specific offset provisions against existing taxes, should
: be given full consideration.
2. That our tax structure must make Oregon attractive to
new industry, thereby creating new jobs and more tax
I . payers.
3. We must pass" laws which protect the rights of both
labor and management.
' 4. We must provide for wise use of natural resources.
3. We must assume a humane and long-range approach
to social problems particularly with regard to the
aged and the handicapped. -
6. We must provide a system of education which will
develop the highest potential in each student, elimi-
noting extravagance and duplication through improv
- ed administration and .organizational procedures.

the bride's parents for the
wedding party. There will be
a reception at the church
after the ceremony. All of this
has been furnished by friends
and well-wishers in the com
munity. The young couple plans no
wedding trip, but in a week
or so will go to Connellsville
to spend some time with the
Buchholders. Their plans
after that depend on their
luck in finding employment.

'Crash' Funds Set
For Highway 42
Portland (IB The Oregon
Highway commission said
here Friday that the Highway
42 route from Winston to Co
quille would receive about
$600,000 of Federal "crash
programs" funds for recon
struction. The allocation of funds to
the badly outmoded route was
revealed in answer to repeat
ed requests from a group' of
housewives from the area who
have maintained consistent
pressure on the commission
for relief.
The allocation, however,
would be small in comparison
to the total need: Highway En
gineer W. C. Williams had es
timated that needed recon
struction of the 70-mile route
would cost about 14 million
dollars.
MOBILIZE WORKERS
