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.

3. 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. Registration can be made
at Eagle Point High school. .
The two-week session of
Red Cross instruction is for
those between 8 and 18 years
of age.
HHICH way will be chosen?
" It's hard to say.
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.
