J i ; , i i - In the Day's Hews By FRANK JENKINS I MAIL TRIBUNE, M.dford, Or. Tuesday, July 14, 1959 5 Highways and politics: Some weeks ago, President Eisenhower warned the con gress - and the country that work on the 41,000 mile inter state superhighway network must soon slow down to a walk unless the federal gas tax is boosted IV2 cents-from the present 3 cents to 4Vfc cents per gallon. The money, he said, is run ning out. If the federal high way system is to be complet ed within the time envisioned, more money must be provid ed. It was his opinion that the money should be provided by TAXES, and he so informed the congress. Geyser in Lake County May Be Capped by State Salem-rcPD-A geyser -like eruption that is wasting mil lion of gallons of 228-degree hot water belonging to Ore gon will be capped if the com bined efforts of Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton and State Engineer Lewis A. Stanley are successful. The spectacular column of water and steam erupted July 1 from an abandoned well shaft near Crump lake in Lake county. It has been shooting a continuous jet some 150 feet into the air ever since. Although the geyser is lo cated on privately - owned land, the water comes from an underground reservoir and therefore is the property of the state, Thornton said. ine btate Engineer, con cerned about the wastage of water, has asked the attorney general to check into the legal problems involved in getting the well capped. Capping the well could cost thousands of dollars and require special equipment, Stanley said. He is now at the site investigat ing the eruption.

Pay for it as we go-by taxes? preferably by gas taxes, which are paid a little a a time, as we use the roads. 1 ifiinuuHAiu; leaders em- phatically rejected the President's proposal. Presum ably they were looking for ward, to next year's election and reasoned that an addition 'to the gasoline tax wouldn't be a popular campaign issue, But- Oregon's Senator Neuberg- er went along with the Presi dent. He. sponsored the lVz cent increase in the gasoline tax (which Ike had recom mended) as an amendment to the revenue bill of 1959. Ex plaining his reason for doing so, he said: , "I believe that, .if the fed eral government is to provide 90 per cent of the cost of building Z9V2 BILLION DOL LARS WORTH of interstate highways, it makes sense to raise 'the federal motor-fuels tax from 3 cents to AM cents per gallon to PAY FOR THESE ROADS." It should be added that the senate defeated his amend ment by a vote of 46 to 33. OTHE -i Pen first is probably OUT. People . want the roads. They want them now-not a generation or so hence. The second is utterly reck less finance and OUGHT TO BE OUT. Recklessness of that sort is the last step before na tional bankruptcy. The third is the reasonable, SENSIBLE way proposed by Senator Neuberger in his amendment to the 1959 reve nue bill, which, was defeated in the senate. ' Should Register Soon Eagle Point participants in tne second swim class session' to be held at Hawthorne pool must sign up by 5 p.m. Wed nesday, it was announced to day.

Putting it on the cuff seems to have a lot of politidal ap peal. Just why, one wouldn't know. Everybody knows that if he throws fiscal wisdom and caution to the winds in his own personal affairs the result will be bankruptcy. Why is it that so many people -especially politicians-persist in claiming that it is different in the case of governments? A NYWAY- Let's give thanks to Sena tor Neuberger for his words of fiscal wisdom spoken into the prevailing Babel of "put it on the cuff and trust to luck and the future to pay for it" nonsense that is being ped dled in these days. He is displaying signs that he is leaning toward the role of STATESMAN rather than the role of politician.
