MALLOY United Press International NEW DELHI (UPI) - If you think you pay a lot ot taxes, you might find some balm in the story of the village of Luk tara, where authorities once tried to tax the wind. Some 330-year-old records dis covered near the village show the peasants had to leave two copper coins and a piece of betel nut at the door of Avasthi Nirand Shah, the moneylender, if they wanted to use the wind. Everybody in Luktara needed the use of the wind because they threshed their grain by throwing it into the air and let ting the breeze carry away the chaff. The wind was particularly necessary to Jagirdar Sadashiv, the land tax collector, because every autumn his granary was stuffed with tons of unthreshed grain collected from the farm ers. It was to irritate the Jagir dar that Avasthi Nirand Shah had purchased the wind - tax rights from the Raja of Ajai garh for 14 camel loads of gold. The money lender was fed up with leaving his two copper coins at Sadnshiv's dour as part of his land tax. To add insult lo Injury, Avasthi Nirand Slinh announced ho would expect his lax pay ments on his doorstep during the Hindu holiday of Dusschra the same day when the Jagirdar awaited n i s own two copper coins. All the world would then be aware that the moneylender had outtaxed the Jagirdar to the extent of one piece of betel nut. Jagirdar Sadashiv was furi ous. To evade his own tax, he destroyed all the grain in his barn. But the Jagirdar slill faced the prospect of seeing the moneylender gloat on his door step over everybody else's coins and betel nuts on Dusshcra morning. To prevent this, he sent hired ruffians to Avasthi's house to kill him. Nobodv came to Avasthi's aid except a cowherd from the Ahir tribe. The moneylender and (he cowherd both died be. fore Avasthi had collected a penny ot his wind tax. Since then, nobody has tried to put a tax on wind in Luk tara, and the descendants of the Ahir and the descenders of Avasthi Nirand Shah are still pledged io protect one another. The newly discovered old rec ords explain why. fabulous new STEREO HIGH FIDELITY phonograph ' ' I $29850 Duncan Confirms Belief Concerning Federal Coniracls Concressman Robert B. Dun can, D-Ore., said today that he had recently received material confirming his belief that South ern Oregon businessmen were not receiving Federal contracts because of the lack of com munication between local busi nessmen and the Federal gdv ernment. "As part of my campaign lo help Fourth District business men compete for these con tracts, I wrote several Federal agencies asking why our area was not awarded a number of contracts comparable to those received by neighboring stales," Duncan said. The Congressman said that, in many cases, tne Agencies indicated the fault lay with lo cal businessmen rather than government contractors. He referred particularly to a recent letter from Craig Raupc, a staff member of the Agency for International Development. "Mr. Kaupe said a major factor in Oregon's lack of Federal con tracts lay with the lack of effort made bv local manufacturers and suppliers to pursue this type of trade," Duncan noted. "I think one reason why local businessmen have failed to en ter this field is because they are not aware of the potential here," Duncan added. He said his recent proposal to a group of Southern Oregon Chambers ot i; o m mercc to establish a series of meetings between businessmen and repre sentatives of the major Federal agencies, "has been received enthusiastically." "I am working on Hie details for these conferences now," he said. "I presented the idea lo a 'pilot group' of Chambers of Commerce, and the response was so enthusiastic I am now contacting similar organizations In Southwest Oregon. The Congressman said his staff is continuing to send out material explaining how busi nessmen may apply for Federal contracts and be included on procurement lists.
