purposes such as gasoline tax
revenues.
One major question will be
answered. That will be wheth
er Hatfield plans to call for
a tax increase to finance the
proposed services. And if a
tax increase is needed, where
it is to be applied.
The governor might turn to
a bond issue to finance con
struction of higher education
buildings. This proposal was
voiced Nov. 24 by F. F. Mont
gomery (R-Eugene), House
minority leader.
Montgomery suggested the
$45 to S50 million needed
during the next biennium be
raised through bonds.
Under his plan, the people
would vote next year on the
bond proposal. As Montgom
ery pointed out, this would re
quire a change in the Oregon
constitution to raise the bond
ceiling.
More Expensive
Bonds require interest pay
ments, and thus are more ex
pensive than cash payments.
But if there is not sufficient
ready cash available, payment
of interest might be less ex
pensive than delaying work
as construction costs are stead
ily on the increase.
The pressure for more
money comes from many quar
ters. One is higher salaries for
state employees.
Basic school support jumps
from $127 million this bien
nium to $163 million the next
biennium.
The exploding Community
College program is expected
to cost millions more the next
two years.
The announcement is being
made Saturday because the
law requires the budget to be
released no later than Dec. 1.
Hearing on Sewer
District Discussed
The Jackson county court
this morning discussed the
possibility of a public hear
ing on the proposed southwest
Medford sewer system.
A letter from Elmer W.
Luschen, 2325 Stewart ave.,
chairman of the anti-annexation
committee, noted that the
committee had obtained the
required signatures on peti
tions requesting a public hear
ing. The group does not favor
being annexed to Medford to
obtain sewage facilities.
Luschen urged the county
court to hold the hearing so
an engineering survey could
be made for the proposed dis
trict. However, County Judge
Earl M. Miller pointed out
that a map of the proposed
district showed that islands
were located in the area. To
be feasible, the proposed dis
trict should include all land
within proposed boundaries,
Miller said.
The county judge noted he
had given a map to Luschen,
and asked him to include the
"islands" in his petition, but
the map has yet to be return
ed. Luschen said in his letter
1 that there were many other
areas requiring a sewer sys
I tern, and that the petitions
!had complied with state law.
i It is now up to the county
: court to act. he said.

Beach Designation
Change Approved
I Salem-IPP-The Governor's
j Committee on Natural Rc
I sources Thursday approved a
i bill lo designate Oregon's pub
i lie beaches as "stale recrea
tion areas." The beaches,
under present law, are public
I highways.
I Gov. Mark Hatfield said
i this change would add a
'"greater impetus" to develop
ment of beaches as recreation
areas, at the same lime re
taining their status of public
ownership.
The Oregon Highway Com -
mission, under the bill, would
still manage all public beach
es, through its parks and rec
reation division.
The dcsigr.jtion of highway
is misleading, since there is
no highway on any public
beach although cars are al
lowed to drive on certain
beaches.

Oregon Reclamation
Projects Reviewed
By Bureau Official
G. G. Stamm, chief of the
division of irrigation and land
use, bureau of reclamation,
Washington, D.C., last night
reviewed the past, present
and future of Oregon recla
mation before 200 people at
tending the Oregon Reclama
tion Congress banquet at the
Rogue Valley Country club.
"There are now about 1.4
million acres under irrigation
in Oregon," Stamm said." This
dates back lo 11151 when the
first watcrright filing in Ore
gon was granted for diversion
from Emigrant creek near
Jacksonville."
"A considerable share of
the total irrigated acreage has
been developed through pri
vate financing, although fed
eral reclamation projects in
Oregon In 1001 totaled over
$40 million," he said.
Income Is Generated
"Since passage of the Rec
lamation Act in 1902 those
returns have aggregated over
$862 million. About $2 of
income is generated in Ihe
local community for each dol
lar of farm income," he
added.
Stamm noted that reclama
tion projects make many oth
er rclurns of both direct and
indirect economic value. He
listed flood control, recrea
tion, pollution control and
river regulation.
He briefly summed up pres
ent and potential reclamation
programs In Oregon.
He noted lhat construction
has been completed on one
phase of the Talent division
of the Rogue River basin
project serving full water
supplies to 5,310 acres and
supplemental to another
23.00(1 acres.
The 20,000-atrc Crooked
river project also has been
completed. Two new projects,
which have moved into "high
gear construction," arc the
western division of The Dalles
project and the Bully Creek
extension nf the Vale project.
Authorized by Congress
The upper division of the
Baker project and the Agate
dam and reservoir have been
j authorizrd by Congress. Con-
; struclion will start when
funds arc made available,
Stamm said.
The 4.t;0()acre foot Agate
reservoir will provide supple-
menial waler to 4.H20 acres
of presently irrigated
lands
in the Rogue valley and will
irrigate 1,810 acres of new
land
y wo oilier worthy recla-
Tribune
House which welcomed the
mation developments will
likely be proposed for au
thorization in the coming
Congress," Stamm added.
They arc the Crooked river
extension project, and ihe
Merlin division of the Rogue
River basin project. The latter
Involves a multiple-purpose
dam and reservoir on Jump
Off Joe creek.
Potential Projects
Stamm noted that several
potential projects are located
in the Willamette Valley. He
listed the Tualatin, the Monmouth-Dallas
and the Red
Prairie projects. Other project
studies include the Birch
creek unit, south di. islon of
the Umatilla project and sev
eral new divisions of the
Rogue River basin project.
The Illinois Valley division
would serve about 12,000
acres in Josephine county,
and the Evans Valley division
would serve about 3,700 acres,
plus the Medford division
which could serve 30,000
acres bolh in Jackson counly.
"Of the six Oregon projects
either recently completed or
under construction or author
ized, only one - the Bully
creek extension of the Vale
project - will the water users
repay tho total irrigation alio,
callon," Stamm said.
He noted lhat assistance to
I r r I g a lion repayment has
come through surplus rcv
enucs trom federal power
projects in many western
areas. Revenues from the
Grecnsprings powerplanl have
financially assisted the Talent
division and Agate dam.
"We need to look at the
economic side of resource de.
velopment using the integrat
ed system-wide approach,"
Stamm added.

Ballot Boxes
Impounded by
District Attorney
Appling Informed
Of Situation
St. Helens 0IPD Charges of
vote fraud in Columbia coun
ty's Nov. 6 sheriff's race wore
hurled Thursday by Republi
can candidate Roy S. Wilburn.
Columbia County District
Attorney David B. Williamson
revealed he has impounded
three of the 34 ballot boxes
used in the county and is con
ducting an investigation. Sec
retary of State Howell Ap
pling Jr. also has been in
formed of the situation.
The count in the sheriff's
race was 4,273 for Wilburn
and 4.173 for Democratic in
cumbent Spencer You nee.
Younce then filed for a re
count, which showed him the
winner by 40 votes, 4,214 to
4,174.
Alteration Charged
Wilburn charged in a com
plaint Thursday that ballots
were altered in four ways be
tween the time they were
counted the night after the
election and when they were
tallied again on the recount.
He said some ballots were
changed to show a vote for
Younce instead of a vote for
him, that some others had the
voting marks obliterated or
soiled, and other ballots were
destroyed, and that new and
illegal ballots were substitut-
Columbia County Clerk
Robert Wellwood said the
scaled ballot boxes were kept
in the courthouse basement
between the election and the
recount Monday. But he add
ed: Key 'Available'
"A key to the boxes is
available to the general pub
lic because the ballots are
now a matter of public record.
We do not keep a record of
to whom the key was given."
Wellwood, in explaining
the 140 vote difference be
tween the original count and
the recount, said:
"A number of small errors
were found."
Younce said he welcomed
the invcsliagtion. He said the
recount was not his idea, but
members of the Democratic
Party came up with the $340
needed to get it started.
Has Seven Days
Wilburn's complaint asked
that he be declared the win
ner of the election. Younce
has seven days in which to
file an answer. A court hear
ing is expected within two
weeks.
Appling sold in Salem he
asked the district attorney to
conduct an Investigation and
asked Ally. Gen. Robert Y.
Thornton for an opinion on
the validity of the recount.
Oregon election law requires
that the demand for a recount
be made within 10 days after
the official canvass of the
vote.
