Newspaper Page TextMAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, 0r.. Sunday, September 28, 1938 Du ncan Defends His Record While State Representative uooert B. Duncan, state representative seeking reelec tion in the Nov. 4 general election, said Friday "the facts show that I represented Republicans and Democrats alike while serving in the legislature." Duncan issued a statement Friday in reply to a recent challenge of his record as a legislator. He issued the state ment, he said, because "my opposition has failed to ac cept my offer to discuss my record before their group. I deem it necessary to advise the people of this county what the real facts are." , He referred to a recent let ter to Mrs. Lester Adams, chairman of the Jackson County Republican Women's club, and Donald. Stathos, chairman of the Jackson committee. Duncan's record recently was discussed, at a meeting. First Democrat Duncan pointed outvie was the first Democrat to be elect ed from this county , in 20 years. "There are issues on which I did not and do not agree with my assailants and on which our votes differed. In their view, this puts me in the 'wild-eyed clique'. But name calling is no help to those voters who are looking for facts on which to base their judgement. And the facts show that I represented Republicans and Democrats alike while serving in the legislature." The Democratic candidate said "I promised that there would probably be no tax cut. This one I am happy to say was broken and tax reduc tions to both income and real property taxpayers have re sulted. "For the first time, basic school support was increased by the legislature, taking a burden off the real property taxpayers who otherwise sup port the schools. At the same time, income taxes were re duced below the 1955 level. While the effective rate in the low bracket was increased in the general session (and lowered in the special session) my assailants neglect to tell you of the benefits to the low income group resulting- from raising the exemption from S500 to S600." Consider Need Ability Duncan said he promised to vote money only after con sidering both the need and the ability of the state to pay. "I have always felt that our taxes must be - controlled at the spending level. The real work for economy goes on in ways and means committee meetings," he noted. Duncan served on four of the subcommittees. He insisted, he said, that the so-called self-supporting boards and commissions oper ate as economically as pos sible.

Duncan pointed out that "to say I voted 'Yes' on all bills which Increased the gen eral fund budget is a rank untruth. I voted 'No' on more budgets than any member of ways and means. I voted' 'No' on many bills I would like to have supported, but felt we just could not afford." He noted that "talk is not economy. It requires judge ment, courage, and above all the responsibility to vote 'Yes' when public interest and pro gressive government demands it. I cannot begin to list here the budgets in which I had a hand in cutting expenditures. Yet I supported increases to education, mental health, teachers' and other state em ployees' salaries, educational TV and, contrary to what has been said, the commodity commissions, most of which more than justify their exis tence." Duncan said he voted against the bill preventing levy of a state property tax on the floor, and not in com mittee. "I did it not because I wanted the state to collect real property taxes . . . The bill gave no tax relief what soever. I voted 'No' because the legislature cannot put the emergency clause on tax leg islation. I was the only Demo crat in the House who had supported such a provision in the last election." Conference Committee - "To say I voted against the compromise tax bill in the special session is likewise un true," Duncan continued. "As a matter of fact, I served on the conference qommittee that finally worked out the com promise. I would; have pre ferred a smaller cut because we were dealing not with a surplus.but with an estimated surplus made at a time when Oregon's economy was no longer rising. "I wanted to be sure we had sufficient revenue to meet our expenses. To do other wise seemed to me imprudent. I compromise, however, rec ognizing that such is the es sence of our democracy and hoping, as seems to be the case, that the projected reven ues would in fact be collect ed." Duncan invited anyone in terested in pursuing the ques tion more fully to contact him. STRANGE BEDFELLOWS Syracuse,N.Y.-(UPD-M.

In his meetings and coffee hours, the Roseburg attorney and former state legislator continued to assert that the fourth congressional district was not being properly repre sented in Washington because "my opponent is too interested in his own private prpjects and so-called crusades in oth er parts of the world." Geddes also expressed his views on federal aid to educa tion to a group of Central Point teachers. He said he fav ored President Eisenhower's proposal to assist needy school districts in providing school rooms, and that this could be one means of helping, to equal ize not only the school cost burden, but also the educa tional opportunities. He re peated his view, however, that any federal aid must have safeguards to assure complete local control of schools. "When there is. dictation by any federal agency, especially in the educational fields, dan gers of creation of a police state are magnified," he de clared. "One of the greatest assurances of our freedom is a- tree educational system, controlled at the. local level." Geddes said that he would be in Jackson county Oct. 16 and 17, and "probably several times other than that before Nov. 4." v The inconnu, a type of whitefish found in the Mack enzie River basin, sometimes weighs as much as 40 pounds. a ' l 4 1 1 Fine Selection RCA, STEREO RECORDS Portables Consolettes or Console Styling The Mark XIII.

Neuberger (D-Ore.) said Friday he has asked Secretary of the Interior Fred Seaton to explain why Wocus Bay has been eliminated from the area of the Klamath Marsh which is to be made a waterfowl refuge under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The senator suggested that Seaton, "in the best interests of conservation," reverse the decision. Speaking before a dinner meeting of the Izaak Walton league here at the Multnomah Hotel, Neuberger said, "I know that the Senate Interior Committee understood that the entire marsh was to be protected as a wildfowl re fuge under the act, . and no witnesses ever drew our at tention to any other plan." The new proposal, Neuber ger said, would exclude 1,000 of the 15,730 acres of marsh in. ' the refuge. He warned that if the Wocus Bay acreage was "for example, to be rented to wealthy hunters, it might make possible a slaughter of migratory birds right at the borders of the refuge which would seriously impair or even nullify the protective purposes for which the marsh was meant to be acquired."

Service Acts f o Prevent Timber Cut Lags Portland -lTD-'Regional U. S. Forester J. Herbert Stone announced here yesterday a new Forest Service policy "to prevent undesirable specula tion in national forest timber offered for sale." An order from the chief for ester warned private timber operators that "failure on the part of the purchaser to cut his timber within the speci fied time limits will result in termination of the sale con- tract." The policy would make those who fail to live up to cutting contracts liable for any price differential between the contract price and lower values caused by current mar ket fluctuations. The Forest Service said It would grant contract exten sions if the operator plans to cut other Federal timber "which needs to be cut more quickly," or if other timber will be cut and it will not be disadvantageous to the United States. Before an extension will be granted, however, at least 50 -per "cent of . the timber must have been cut and enough roads built to service at least 60 per cent of the purchase tract. Hostesses for the day were Cathy Wittaker and Delores Luper., Donna Burns led the group in asking the blessing before refreshments were served. There were 10 Brownies present, five visitors, two committee women, leader, Mrs. Luper, . and assistant leader;-Mrs. Robert Preston.
