Oregon s Tax Dilemma
Two big questions remain to be solved by the
legislature as this is written. They are a proposed
new Constitution for Oregon, discussed here yes
terday, and the means
ror tne coming two years.
There is a deadlock on both.
The deadlock, coming as it does after all
existing records for the length of a legislative
session have been broken, seems to sum up the
record of this session.
It has been marked by dissention, not by har
mony ; by bickering, not by constructive action ;
by partisanship, not by statesmanship.
Eventually and no one can guess how long
it will take a tax program will be hammered
out, and then the legislators can go home.

THE question which sticks with us, though, is

much that is constructive; it is, rather, whether
it has avoided doing anything that is damaging.
we are not sure that
We fear that far too
on the true, basic needs of education.
We fear that whatever tax program comes
out of the session will be a stop-gap, catch as
catch can, jerry-built program, designed only to
get the state through the
lacing up to the needs of the future.
One of the big disappointments has been the
refusal of the House to
vote on a sales tax program.
The Mail Tribune has not supported sales tax
measures in the past. But the property tax is be
coming increasingly burdensome, particularly to
those who can least afford it retired people and

one of the highest of any state in the nation.
A properly designed sales tax, which affords
a measure of relief in the income and property
tax neids, and balances
putting much of our fiscal program on a pay-as-you-go
basis, would have much appeal to many.
And in light of the rapidly increasing needs
of the state, and more particularly the schools,
colleges and universities of the state, it appears
to be the only ultimate solution. We think the
legislature is being woefully short sighted in not
calling for another vote on it. Such an action
might even, prevent a referendum of whatever
tax program they come up with, and a resulting
special session of the legislature. Which provi-

DUT there is another need, too, one of which
u is discussed in the Izaak Walton magazine
the need to protect these set-aside areas from too
heavy use, which can damage and destroy a beau

A classic example of this can be seen on sun

Howard Prairie lake. The lake is a lovely, attrac
tive spot, not only for
those simply seeking an

But when you cram several thousand people
into an area designed to accommodate several
hundred with comfort and elbow room, the result
is often calamitous.
IF people persist in coming (and it looks to us
us as though Howard Prairie's popularity is
here to stay), arrangements must be made to ac
commodate them to provide places for them
to park their cars and boat trailers, to add camp
and picnic sites, and, above all, to provide for
sanitary facilities.

the number of people, by use fees, or by an ac
tual limitation of numbers, which means turn
ing people away, as is done in some California
camping areas.
Much the same problem applies in many of
the National Parks notably Yosemite and Yel
lowstone where the vast thronirs of visitors nose
serious problems, not only straining the accom
modations, but also threatening the actual phys
ical surroundings.
UOW to pay for the needed changes?
14 One way which serves a double purpose is
user fees.
The Land and Water
now pending in Congress, would provide for such
fees, and would apply the proceeds to a broad
ened program of recreational acquisition and de
velopment. The Forest Service is now charging
use fees in some of its more popular sites. The
Park Service long has done so.
The state and the counties are rapidly com
ing to the same conclusions.
And it is only right that the people who use
our increasingly valuable and increasingly scarce
recreation areas should pay for the privilege of
doing so. We can think of no reason why one
who docs not use them should pay for them

So like the last two March
19ths, there was no mention
of the swallowB return to old
Capistrano, for now it is
changed to the St. Joseph's
Feast Day, anything relative
to swallows is strictly taboo
by the Mission padres.
Their radical departure
from what they first declared
must have been fear of the
fact, as I found out by the
cooperative UPI In Portland
recently that return of the
swallows to the Mission would
have to be phoned in from
there to the LA Times on
March 16, not later than the
17th so as to be related to
the central clearing at Salt
Lake then back to Portland
and on to the Mail Tribune
and all other subscribing
papers the 18th, so you could
announce the "glad" tidings
on the 19th.
Which might also explain
why you seldom run the re

Lyle Wilson, who recently re
marked that the management

actually occurred following
the death of Jesus:
His body, like that of other
prisoners executed by the Ro-
mans, was thrown into the
ditch by the side of Golgotha
"the Hill of Skulls." In the
night that followed, some of
his friends who had escaped
the Procurator's dragnet, ven
tured from their hiding place,
easily located the body and
gave it a secret burial. Then
they left for Galilee to join
the others of the Master's mes
sianist companions who had
fled.
There could have been no
Roman guard at the tomb to
prevent anyone from stealing
the body of Jesus because it
was never placed in the tomb
in the first place. That is why
the tomb was empty. The
body of Jesus reposed else
where.
Christian missionaries dis
covered as soon as they began
telling the story of Jesus' "res
urrection" to the crowds of
Antioch and Damascus a few
decades after his death that
most listeners could easily
recognize it as that of Osiris
and Hercules and other demi
gods who died and rose. I am
certain that the whole fan
tastic story is purely mythical.

Building Fund
To the Editor: Due to illness
and doctor's orders that I take
a complete rest, I have sub
mitted my resignation to the
Odd Fellow and Rebekah
Lodges of Gold Hill as their
general chairman for the
building fund drive which was
begun a few months ago.
The fund raising campaign
has been a tremendous success
thus far, due largely to the
help and encouragement of
our many friends in Ashland,
Medford, Central Point, Gold
Hill and Grants Pass. I am
sure the fund will continue to
grow and the goal of a new
meeting place reached soon.
My sincere thanks and ap

Capital Punishment
To the Editor: Our good edi
tor E.A. welcomes the Negroes
to our valley. Now he is
plugging hard for the end of
capital punishment.
If you read the newspaper
reports you will see the most
of our brutal murders are com
mitted by ex-convicts out on
parole.
When a jury convicts a mur
derer and our judges sentences
mm to ute in prison, it should
mean no less than that.
The two murderers who
murdered that lady on Sunset
ave. are now ready for parole.
The murderer who murdered
the little boy at Tubb Springs
is near ready for parole. The
woman who threw the babies
in the gorge will soon be
ready for parole.
When our governor com-
mutes a sentence to life In
prison he should insist that it
be no less. As long as our
parole boards have the power
to parole these murderers I
will vote for capital punish
ment and I think so will vou.

LIFE AND DEATH
STRUGGLE
Washington - After long
maneuvering, the Soviets and
the Chinese Communists have
at last jointly
s c he duled
meeting to dis
cuss their dlf-
fere nces in
Moscow on
July 5. In the
issue of Prav-
da announcing
that a date for
a meetins had
finally been
agreed upon, great promi
nence was given to a French
Communist statement that
'dogmatism" - meaning the
Chinese heresy - was now the
prime danger to the world
Communist movement That
reveals the Soviet leadership's
approach to the July meeting.
So much has been generally
noticed. Far too little atten
tion has been given, however,
to an astonishing speech
starkly revealing the real na
ture of the current stage in
the Sino-Soviet dispute. It was
made in Hanoi, by Liu Shao-
chi, the second man of the
Chinese Communist party, at
the close of his recent South
east Asian tour.
THERE were two notable
features of this speech. Liu
boldly restored Stalin to his
former niche as "the great
continuator of Lenin," from
which Nikita S. Khrushchev
has rudely pushed the dead
dictator. Liu repeatedly spoke
of "Marx, Engels, Lenin, and
Stalin" as a quadrumvirate of
equals, who ought to be the
true guides of world commu
nism.
More Important, still, how
ever, was Liu's blunt warning
to the unfortunate North Viet-
opening statement wfth 3 min
ute rebuttals. While Mr. Whit-
aker erred by taking only S
minutes for his opening state
ment, he received equal space
in your paper.
While your reporters tried
to point out my presentation
errors in the debate, they de
liberately hid the above error
from your readers by filling
in for Mr. Whitaker. If I had
come there to dis-credit Mr.
Whitaker, I could have read
about his left-wing activities
from a newspaper in San
Francisco called "Tocsin"
which devotes no small
amount of space to Mr. Whit
aker. This would be one of
the most flagrant errors in de
bates, yet your reporters went
on to compound Whitaker's
errors by giving him space in
his attack on me and the John
Birch Society even though it
had nothing to do with the
debate, "United Nations,
Right or Wrong."
Your reporters were so
prejudiced that they wouldn't
even print my rebuttal to Mr.
Whitaker such as his assertion
that there are only 44 Soviet
communists among the 1.311
persons employed In the U.N.
I immediately pointed out
that his figure didn't show the
communist employees from
the other 22 communist coun
tries in the world that work
in the U. N. Nor did they re
port a spectator who became
so incensed with Mr. Whit
aker's misstatement that he
broke In at one place and
pointed it out.
Any fair minded person
would at least give equal
space In a debate but a ruler
will show Mr. Whitaker got

column Inches and while all
of my facts were taken from
authoritative sources, "Behind

namese, who have been trying
to fence-sit, and thus to stay
friends with both the Soviets
and the Chinese Communists
in the midst of their bitter
quarrel.

Liu Shao-cht, meaning no one
else but Khrushchev and his
supporters, "(while) donning a
cloak of Marxism Leninism
are actually wantonly adulter
a ting Marxism - Leninism,
emasculating Marvism-Lenin
ism in its revolutionary soul,
. . . substituting hypocritical
bourgeois 'supra-class' view
points for Marxist - Leninist
viewpoints . . . and substitu
ting bourgeois pragmatism for
dialectical materialism."
TN COMMUNIST terms, this
is about on a par with the
sort of thing the Church Fa-
thers said about the Arians,
the Monophysites, the Gnos
tics, and the Nestorians before
these wicked heretics' were
hurled into outer darkness,
"The destiny of the world."
declared Liu, would therefore
depend on the outcome of the
struggle against "the modern
revisionists." And he went on
pointedly:
(In) such an important
struggle of principle, we can
not act as onlookers or follow
a middle course."
In short, the North Nietna-
mese were told, in plain
terms, that they had better
cilmb down off the fence
without another minute of de
lay. Whether they will do so
still remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, Liu's speech
rather forthrightly tells us
that even before the Moscow
meeting the Chinese and So
viets are waging a life and
death struggle for control of
other Communist parties,
TN THIS STRUGGLE, the
Chinese have already won
fairly dramatic successes. All
the Asian parties are off the
fence and on the Chinese side
except for the North Vietna
mese party, which has been
leaning-Chinese, and the In
dian party, whose pro-Chinese
leaders have been quietly
locked up by Jawaharlal
Nehru, on the suggestion, it is
reported, of the local pro-So
viet communists.
The Japanese party, in
which the pro-Chinese group
has a majority, is perhaps the
biggest prize the Chinese have
won. But there are others.
The Communists of New Zea
land, somewhat surprisingly,
have preferred Peking to
Moscow. In the Canadian par
ty, there is at least enough
dissent to result In a recent
mission to Peking, and the
same is true of the Brazilian
party.
Even in Western Europe,
the Soviets have run into
trouble here and there. In
the Norwegian party, for in
stance, the pro-Chinese group
was nearly strong enough to
take over, and fight for con
trol is still continuing.
F
1 to
THE SATELLITE area,
too, the Soviets' row with
the Chinese is strengthening
the impulses to independence
felt by the local leaderships.
The Roumanian party leaders,
for Instance, have boldly and
obstinately rejected Moscow's
views about joint economic
planning lor the member-nations
of the Soviet bloc.
In the Hanoi speech. Liu
further spoke of the "strug
gle against revisionism" ss
necessarily "protracted and
complicated . , . involving
many twists and turns." A
major turning point has al
ready passed, for the Chinese,
having seriously hoped to top
ple Khrushchev from his lead
ership of the Soviet party,
have almost certainly had to
give up on this point.
But If the leadership of
both sides remains the same,
the struggle can only go on.

in a speech on the floor of
the U.S. Senate that foreign
policy of the Democratic ad
ministration "is shot full of
the holes of expediency."
ne aaaea:
"The United Stales hm
made a mistake in trvine tn
export political ideology to
uie uaun American nations.
Hungry people could not care
less. It is time we starts tn
export BREAD and not BUL-
lis, i a to Latin America.
"I will not now vote for
grant of one dime, although
in the past I have supported
foreign aid, to any country
that can afford to REPAY a
loan."
,???????
well, both are toueh and
controversial problems.
for example:
TF, HERE on the home front,
1 we try to make conditions
better for Oregon dairymen
by establishing a milk price
that will yield them a satis
factory profit under existing
economic conditions, we will
in effect invite out of state
producers to start pouring
their milk over the border In.
to Oregon in order to take)
advantage of the higher prices
established In Oregon by law.
So, in order to prevent this
from happening, we will pre
sumably have to pass some
kind of law to prevent Wash
ington, Idaho and California
milk from pouring in over our
state'a borders in order to
take advantage of the higher
prices in Oregon.
AND- .
"If we give unemoloved
workers higher stand-by pay,
we will increase the tempta
tion to take it easy on rockine
chair money instead of get
ting out and hustling to find
other employment.
All of which is to say:
When we get away from
the law of supply and de
mand, we are inviting a lot .
of propblems to come along
ana irouoie us.
AND-
"If we go along wi!h Sen
ator Morse's suggestion that
hereafter we make no loans
to any foreign state that can
REPAY a loan, we shall be
encouraging foreign states
that have no thoughts of ever
repaying us for help we have
extended to them in time of
need and DISCOURAGING
foreign states that seek loans
from us for the purpose of
establishing industries that
will provide employment for
their people who are present
ly unemployed but are eager
to work If jobs can be created
to provide employment for
them.
So that doesn't seem like a
very good idea.
WHAT to
It's s tc
do about It all?
tough problem.
But it's hard for thoughtful
people to believe that Just
passing laws and shelling out
money will provide the kind
of iclution that is reeded.
