Equolizing Timber
Taxes Tackled by
State Commission
Salem (UPI) The State
Tax Commission, acting as a
State Board of Equalization,
started hearings Monday on
problems of equalizing tim
ber taxes among the counties.
Testimony was taken from
Benton County Assessor Rich
ard Wegener and County
Equalization Board Member
E. E. Larkin. Othjpr state-
ments were read into the rec-
ord. '
Several Oregon counties
have changed timber valua-
'Otions set by the valuation di-
vision ofCJhe State Tax Com-
i 1 1 i -
mission ana tne neanngs are
0 designed to find out why the
R changes were made and
Uwhether they fulfill the legal
requirement of uniformity.
Wegener told the Commis
sion he based his lues on
recommendations of the Tax
Commission although he felt
they were a little high in to
day's - declining lumber
market.
The County Board of Equa
lization then cut the values
about 30 per cent and upped
a suggested 14-year depletion
schedule for bid growth tim
ber to 20 years.
Lacin said he thought
valuations provided . by the
Tax Commission were too

Could Spark War
To the Editor: The prob
lems of a beautiful little coun
try half around the world af
fects the lives of Oregonians.
In Lebanon, a country
slightly larger than Jackson
county with 1,400,000 papula
tion, an unrest has been brew
ing for 40 days, which, if un
arrested, could spark a war in
the Middle East and from
there engulf the world.
Whether the civil war was
inspired by the Arab, the
Communist or the Western
world, or by internal conflicts,
there is the threat that the
United States might be called
upon to fulfill the intentions
of the Eisenhower Doctrine
and intervene with, military
force. Instead, the good offices
of the United Nations averted
such action.
: The Lebanon government
was threatened by armed op
position, when its 70 year old
president, Chamoun, prepared
to change the constitution in
order to permit himself an
other six - year term. This
move united- all opposition
.groups the anti - Western,
the moderates, - friendly to
both East and West, and the
partisans, whose deepest loy
alties were to the Arab world
and to Nasser's newly estab
lished United Arab Republic.
iThis latter group was accused
of getting arms and help from
across the Lebanese - Syrian
sborder.
I Charles Malik, the Leban
ese United Nations representa
tive, requested help- to protect
the borders. The United Na
tions Security Council author
ized observers and Dag Ham
mersk jold, United Nations sec
; retary general, went to Leban
on. He talked with President
Chamoun and dispersed the
100 observes (from nine coun
tries) along the Lebanese bor
der sending them out in pairs
of white United Nations jeeps
to "see Jid hear." .
l How such small unarmed
patrols were expected to stop
.infiltration was explained by
Ecuador's ex-President Lasso,
now UnitedNations supervis
ory commissioner. .
'- "Our way is the moral
way," he said, "we hope to
stop infiltration by bringing it
,to international attention."
high and might jeopardize the
sustained yield program. He
also thought the 14-year de
pletion schedule for old
growth timber to 20 years.
Larkin said he thought val
uations provided by the Tax
Commission were, too high
and might jeopardize the
sustained yield program. He
also thought the 14-year de
pletion schedule was too
short, especially for big oper
ators who plan for longer
periods of time.
Larkin said timber owners
had convinced him that valu
ation of their product should
be lower due to the slump in
the timber market.
The hearings will resume
Wednesday with Coos and
Douglas county representa
times appearing.
The hearings will resume
Wednesday with Coos and
Douglas county representa
tives appearing.
Representatives of Lane
county, whose board cut valu
ation division recommenda
tions by about 68 per cent,
will be heard Thursday.
Tillamook county, which re
cently accepted Tax Commis
sion figures, also may send
representatives to testify
later.
Peacemaker Hammerskjold
conferred with Nasser in
Cairo. He. brought back an
"optimistic" report to the
United Nations.
If Nasser's United Arab Re
public is responsible for infil
tration, past events give us
reason to believe he will yield
to United Nations patrols, and
be disciplined by United Na
tions directed international
opinion, Nasser did accept the
United Nations Peace Force,
the first peace army ever to
be used, which did succeed in
pacifying the Suez conflict.
He cooperates with the United
Nations - Patrol preventing
open conflict on the Egypt
Israeli border at Gaza.
- For the time - being, the
United States accepts the
United i Nations action al
though Secretary Dulles told
a press conference that there
are other possible moves for
the United States in the Leb
anese crisis. I am certain those
possibilities do not include
moving in the 3,000 Marines
of the Sixth Fleet, or sending
in G.I.s, all of which seems
rather extravagant use of
force by a country of tremen
dous power when the world
has come to respect the ,tact,
courage, f orebearance and
foresight of United Nation
peace action.
