Something to remember:
Beginning today be sure, to
put an extra penny on your
letters.
rPHIS modern world note
on ailing Telstar and what
cured it:
Engineers of the Bell Tele
phone Laboratories diagnosed
the trouble, blamed it on radi
ation and found a way to re
store the satellite whirling
around the earth . goodness
knows how many thousands
of miles out there in space to
normal health.
Here's how it was done:
The engineers determined
that one transistor in its com
mand decoder was running
an electrical fever and so,
feeling out of sorts as people
do from time to time, Telstar
refused to act on command.
The remedy?
It was quite simple. The en
gineers devised a trick code
which cut otf the electrical
fever, not unlike a couple of
aspirins when taken by hu
man beings who for one rea
son or another are feeling all
upset.
When Telstar got rid of the
fever, il went back to work
even as you and I.
A"' THOUGHT:
The lime may come when,
feeling lousy, you'll merely
phone your doctor, describe
your symptoms, and he'll push
a few buttons and set you
up in business again.
It's getlin2 to be quite a
world, isn't it?
FROM Salem the other day:
Steps to reduce the num
ber of Oregon counties have
been proposed by the legisla
tive committee on local gov
ernment. The committee call
ed for creation of a special
commission to study county
CONSOLIDATION. It said
present studies indicate thai
great economices may be
achived by consolidation into
a lesser number of counties.
AH ME!
How limes do change!
There was a time within the
memory of many of Oregon's
citizens who are still able to
get around without a cane
when COUNTY DIVISION
was a big issue in Oregon.
The argument was that tax
payers shouldn't have to go
so far and waste so much time
getting to the county seat to
transact their necessary busi
ness at the court house.
A ND-
At that time
It was a logical argument.
Considering the prevailing
modes of transportation, it aid
take a lot of time in many
of Oregon's larger counties for
remote citizens to get to the
county seat. There were a few
atltnmnhilps. tn be sure. But
the prevaling roads were any-
ining out gooa. wnen a ie
mote taxpayer came to town
in his tin Lizzie, he could
never be certain that a rain
wouldn't come up and maKe
the roads impassable.
SO THE proposals to make
little counties out o the
big counties seemed quite rea
sonable, and county division
projects were numerous.
They were perhaps somewhat
more numerous because of the
desire on the part of many
of the smaller towns to be
come bigger towns by getting
to be county seats.
The exisiting county seats,
of course, reasoned that coun
ty division might result in
making them smaller towns.
At any rate, the county di
vision movement of several
decades ago resulted quite a
lot of blood on the moon in
Oregon. '
NOW, with good roads and
fast cars, we're moving in
the other direction. In the be
ginning, there was just ONE
Oregon county east of the Cas
cades mighty Wasco. In this
area, there are now 18 coun
ties. And
Because of better roads and
faster cars it would now ac
tually be feasible even
though it wouldn't bo popu
lar to go back again to one
big county in all of Oregon
east of the mountains. It is
indeed true that times and
manners change.

Oregon AFL-CIO To Give Scholarships
Portland-fflPt-College schol-
arship awards totaling $2,400
will be made this year by the
Oregon AFL-CIO to six high
school students in Oregon,
Miss May Darling, chairman
of the state labor group's
standing committee on educa
tion, announced today.
Three winners of an exam
ination on labor and indus
trial problems to be conducted
in the schools on April 3 will
receive cash awards of $600
each, and three other $200
each.
"The union organization has
been providing the awards for
16 years." Miss Waning said,
"and over that period more
than ftn students from high
schools in 22 cities throughout j
the state have been assisted
financially to begin their col
lege educations."
Determination of the schol
arship winners is made upon
the basis of ranking in the ex
amination and general schol
astic achievement.
The tests are graded by "a
competent person" who is not
connected with the labor
movement, she said.

'COMPROMISE' IS KEY TO 1963 TAX CUTS
In 1962 we asked ourselves one vitally right question
about the U.S. economy: Is the oppressive income tax
structure we created at a time of global war a key reason
business has failed to grow fast enough in recent years to
take up the slack in production and employment? In 1962, the
answer "yes!" emerged with remarkable unanimity among
fiscal "conservatives" and "liberals. Republicans and Dem
ocrats, businessmen and labor leaders.
As a result of asking ourselves that right question and
coming to that answer in 1962 the odds are the brightest in
years that in 1963 Congress will overhaul our restrictive
tax system, reduce tax rates across-the-board for both in
dividuals and corporations.
Congress is about to convene. After the usual formali
ties, it will hear the President's message, get to work. Over
shadowing all other domestic legislation will be the call'
for tax reduction-reform.
It is already abundantly obvious that there will be
major disagreements in Congress on the tax overhaul
its form, timing, size, impact on consumer and business
spending patterns.
It is obvious too that getting lax deductions through
this Congress will be no cinch in view of the iacts that
the new budqet will be billions in the red for the third
year in a row, the national debt is climbing to an all
time high and just the interest paid on this debt is now
taking more than $10 billion of our tax money each
year.
Let's, therefore, put a few basic points in perspective.
(1) Just about every informed, objective observer rec
ognizes the danger to our nation of budget deficits on top
of budget decficits. Years of red ink in a nation's budget
can undermine Its credit and the buying power of its cur
rency just as years of red ink in a family's budget can
undermine its credit and buying power. When Senator Byrd,
the Virginia Democrat who heads the powerful Senate Fi
nance committee, warns of the perils of budget deficits, no
one scoffs. The perils exist.
(2) Just about every informed, objective observer now
agrees that our high income tax rates are a drag on our
economy, that they blunt recoveries, encourage recessions,
weaken incentives. The agreement on this is truly extraordinary.
(3) Just about every informed, objective observer real
izes it is politically unrealistic to expect that federal spend
ing will be cut as much as taxes are reduced which is
Byrd's demand. The President has said it plainly. Non- de
fense spending will be held near current levels but spend
ing for defense, space and debt interest is going up. Re
gardless of how much you sympathize with Byrd's view,
this is fact.
(4) Just about every informed, objective observer ad
mits that if our economy continues moving as sluggishly as
it has been for years, it will not produce enough taxes to
cover government spending. We will pile new deficit on
new deficit, our national debt will soar, our interest bur
den will rise even more, our unemployment rate will stay
stickily high, our demands for goods will not be big enough
to spur industry into hiking its spending for essential modernization-expansion
programs.
(5) Just about every informed, objective observer em
phasizes that the one stimulant we haven't tried which
has done the job in Europe and could do it here is signifi
cant tax reduction to expand consumer and business spend
ing and give businessmen the incentives to go into ventures
that will create jobs, paychecks, profits.
Where do these five points lead? They lead to com
promise. The President already is compromising in public
and private. No longer is he aiming at Jan. 1. 1963. as
the effective date for the reductions. He has pledged
major efforts io control spending and to finance the
budget deficit out of our savings the least inflation
ary way the government can borrow. He will submit
tax-raising reforms along with his tax reduction pro
posals. Surely. Congress in turn will compromise, for let this
be clear. If Congress insists on a balanced budget before
voting tax reduction, it will be Insisting on the impossible
and this will be equivalent to saddling us with our obsolete,
punitive tax structure indefinitely.
