VOTES
TO
REVENUE BILL
, (Continued From Page One)
of the League of Oregon Cities,
which la sponsor of HB 216, led
a vigorous effort to obtain
chamber support for the city
measure. This proposal would
give the cities up to 15 per cent
of state highway revenues, pro
vided the' revenues first amount
to $10,000,000.'
Mayor Houston delivered a
speech to the chamber directors
in behalf of the measure, fol
lowed by a statement from T. B
Watters, chairman of the high'
way committee, which brought
In . a recommendation against
the bill.
...;! ' City Travel
Mayor Houston said he is
obliged to fight for the taxpay
ers of the city of Klamath Falls,
that the city has $1,500,000 in
vested .in city streets, and that
unless the money, for mainte
nance comes from gas taxes it
must come from the property
taxpayers of Klamath Falls,
probably through bond issues
or special levies. -
. He asserted that 49 per cent
of Oregon travel is on- city
streets, and. that traffic that
uses the streets should bear the
cost of maintenance. He further
argued that passage of the meas
ure would not interfere with
the state highway commission
program now or in the future.
"Knockout Blow"
. Turning to what he described
as possible political implications
of the chamber's attitude, he
aid he would not advocate
any measure that. would "spoil
Klamath's chances of getting a
member of the highway commis
sion." (It has been reported that
such a chance may soon come to
this city, -which has never had
a member on the commission).
Watters quoted R. H. Baldock,
state highway engineer, to the
effect, that passage of HB 216
would be a "knockout blow,"
reducing highway funds to a
point where the program could
not be carried out Watters said
".You can't maintain an adequate
' highway system, and maintain
city , streets out of the same
fund."
j- .Opposition Expressed
! Referring to" Houston's'' state
ment that Washington and Cali
fornia highway funds go partly
to city streets, Watters said that
Washington has 26 persons to

the square mile, California 44,
and Oregon 11.
Several members of the board
expressed their opposition to
this particular bill, but said
they had no objection to giving
the cities a fair share of state
highway revenue when those
revenues are large enough for
both s t a t a highway and city
street purposes.
Tradition Enters In
Director William Ganong
pointed out that under the terms
of this bill, cities might get
more money than Is available
for state highway new construc
tion. He said this measure may
be wrong, but that he is not op
posed to the Idea of the city
sharing in gas taxes.
A similar statement was made
by Director A. M. Collier.
There was some - discussion
among the directors about the
maintenance of a tradition in
the chamber, several expressing
themselves against making the
"traditional" feature a factor in
the action on the current prob
lem.
The motion to adopt the high
way committee's report against
the bill was made by Director
George Davis and seconded by
Director Lee Jacobs.
Director Malcolm Epley, who
voted for Davis' motion, then
made a motion that the board
ask the highway committee to
consider the problem of city
streets and help city officials
work on this problem.
Court Sends Letter
Epley said that statements
made at the meeting regarding
past action of the chamber had
indicated the chamber was not
interested in city street prob
lems. He said he believed city
streets a proper matter for
chamber interest. Percy Murray
seconded Epley's motion, which
carried unanimously.,
The county court sent a let
ter to the board stating it was
opposed to HB 216. .
Only other important action
of .the day was adoption of the
taxation committee's report ap
proving Governor Snell a taxa
tion program as enunciated In
his message to the legislature
this week.
Klamath Sets -
A Record in
Winter Snow
(Continued From Page One)
of the stream year. In 1885-86,
a deluge of 12.18 inches in four
months compared to 12.06 inches
in 1942-43. Normal based on 52
years' record is 6.65 inches. Con
sidering November, i December
and January-of this year, the
weatherman said, the 11.77
inches has never been equalled
since 1884, which is the date
weather records were inaugur
ated at Linkville which later be
came Klamath Falls.
In January alone, the precipi
tation reached 4.85 inches com
pared to a 52-year mean of 2.05
inches.
The mercury did -o thing start
ling in January, being content
with a maximun. of 47 degrees
on the 14th and a minimum of 2
degrees on the 18th. . Mean for
the month was 30 degrees; which
is sligntly above normal for Jan
uary. There were 12 clear days,
11 partly cloudy and eight
cloudy days.
Over 13 Feet of
Snow Blankets '
Crater Lake Park
Thirteen and one-half feet of
snow, without a single footprint
to mar the long stretches of
white, covered Crater Lake na
tional park at the last snow-take,
according to Carlisle Crouch,
cniel ranger. '
On the .iame day, last year,
snow ' fall ' was checked at 79
inches.
The park was closed this win
ter for the first time since 1935
when the park service ordered
the area to remain open for win
ter sports. Even snow-shoe rab
bits are unmolested.

retail stores, newspapers and
even the employment of domestic
servants. The latter are not cov
ered by present laws requiring
payment of time and a half for
overtime in excess of 40 hours
a week.
Harper and the WMC left un
answered the question of just
how the order would affect the
wages of servants as well as
those of employes of service es
tablishments not covered by the
overtime laws.
Areas Affected
Rumblings of discontent were
heard from the farm belt in the
wake of Byrnes' announced in
tention to fight against any in
crease in food price ceilings, and
there were Indications on Capitol
Hill today that a showdown bat
tle was in the making.
The 32 areas affected immedi
ately are:
Bath, Me.; Bridgeport, Water-
bury, Hartford, and New Britain,
Conn.; Portsmouth, N. H.,
Springfield, Mass.; Buffalo, N,
Y.; Somerville, N. J.; Baltimore,
and Elkton, Md., Hampton
Roads, Va., Washington, D. C;
Akron and Dayton, Ohio; De
troit; Manitowoc, Wis.; Sterling,

Panama City, Fla.; Pascagoula,
Miss., Wichita, Kan.; Beaumont,
Tex.; cneyenne, wyo.; ugaen,
Utah; Las Vegas, Nev.; Portland,
Ore.; San Diego, Calif.; Seattle.
Highlights
Moreover, Harper announced
that it is not discretionary with
employers but is mandatory. A
reasonable period of several
weeks will be allowed to put the
program into effect. The man
power commission expects to
find more jobs for workers
forced out by the longer work
week.
Highlights of the program as
outlined by Byrnes, other than
the 48 hour week, include.
1. No increase in hourly wage
rates beyond that allowed, by
the war labor board's "Little
Steel formula," except in special
cases. This formula permits a
15 per cent increase over Jan
uary 1, 1941 levels to compen
sate for higher living costs.
2. Incentive payments to farm
ers to "enable us to increase pro
duction without increasing
prices," but no change in- the
farm parity formula.
3. No further increase in. the
basic and essential cost of sub
sistence living.- "We must break
up the black markets." -
4. Work by all where most
needed. "If some men can be
drafted and sent abroad at $50
per month; every civilian must
go where he can render the great
est service, even if it means less
money."
5. Higher taxes to close a
$16,000,000,000 "gap" between
income and the amount of avail
able goods. A part of the ad
ditional taxation on The lower
middle income groups," Byrnes
said, should take the form of
post-war credits or compulsory
savings. '

Knox expressed belief the ne

once and that lond-leaso aid ex
tended by this nation would help
create a "willingness on tho part
of those associated with us to be
generous."
Meanwhile, Vinson disclosed
that Knox, recently back from a
tour of inspection which took
him to Pacific outposts, had laid
his proposition for post-war re
tention of Pacific bases before
the naval committee previously
in secret session, and had found
a favorable reception.
A final settlement of the com
plox issues involved in perma
nent acquisition of the bases,
among them those of post-war
foreign policy, undoubtedly
would have to await negotiations
by the state department.
