NO GASOLINE PURCHASE REQUIRED the Drive-in Way. iMMm-
By MICHAEL T. 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.

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.
