10 B Tablets By R. E. Mail Tribune Table Excerpts from the Oregon Grange Bulletin, giving reasons why the Oregon State Grange executive committee endorses the ' referred Tax Bill: " There are no perfect tax systems, simply some that are better than others,' Dr. Robert Campbell, head of the department of economics of the University of Oregon, de clared to the biennial tax. conference held at Salem, prior to the opening of the Legislative session in December 1962. 'All are imperfect since all must attempt to reconcile conflicting objec tives,' he added." We still, hear people tell over the radio that the Oregon grangers are not in favor of a "yes" vote on the referred tax bill. This is untrue, and is told by people who know nothing about the grange or what it stands for. The master of the Ore gon State Grange early in this tax squabble, advised members not to sign petitions, as another session of the legislature would be expensive, with no assurance of getting a better tax bill. We have mentioned that in voting "No" on the tax bill, we may be buying a pig in a poke, but time has passed and new evi dence has developed showing that the present bill is the only thing in sight that will furnish the money needed to meet the requirements of the budgets of the schools and departments of the State. Those who are violently opposed to the present tax bill may be jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. Another session of the legislature would be expensive and might adjourn without passing any new bill, but voting to keep the one we have. Even if they passed a cigarette tax, it would cost the smokers more than the $5 filing fee that so many are griping about. Lloyd Damon, of the Lake Creek area, was a recent business visitor here. He says farm lands in his area are being bought up at a rapid pace, and if his next door neighbor sells his farm, . Lloyd says he will sell his farm and move out. ' Charley Given was down recently from the Given ranch, buy ing supplies (or himself and bachelor brothers, Tommy and Dewey. Howard Schwab, our genial mail carrier, recently received a notation and pin for his record of safe driving as a mail car rier for 27 years without an accident or interruption. Mr. and Mrs. Chariey Ray of Medford, were recent visitors ,. here. Charley was just a small boy when we first saw him, when we worked for his father Dr. C. R. Ray, when the Gold Ray Dam was constructed. We had a good time reminiscing with Charley, and trying to locate some of the old gang of some 40 to 50 men with many different trades and coming from many different states. As we remember Dr. Ray had one of the first automobiles in this area. He had a young man as chauffeur. They called them drivers at that time. His name was Frank Loader. There was no pavement and few graded roads at that time, so it was rough going for cars. Charley told me he remembered that one time something went wrong with the car, and it stopped running, so Frank started taking it apart to fix it when some one came along and told him the gas tank was empty. Another recent visitor was John Cushman of the Trail area. - John was a resident here in the early teens, and was a member of the Table Rock home guard during the first years of World War One. We tried to figure out the names of other members and where they are now, but failed to learn of more than a few, so the ranks of the would be soldiers who were getting ready to stop the Kaiser have thinned considerably. M. B. Chase was Captain. We were First Lt. We found later when we went to the R.O.T.C. that what we learned in the Table Rock Home Guard was a great help to us. .' . Thought for the day . . .

The amendment provides for a city judge to preside over a mu nicipal court. It will allow the city council to appoint and set the salary for such a judge. Funds for this purpose were budgeted in the city budget which council members ap proved in July. At the present time the city recorder and administrator serves as judge. With the growth of the city the responsibilities of the com bined offices have grown and the recorder-administrator must take time from his regular du ties to hold court.
