Cooperative Indian Land Proposed By Rep. Horan WASHINGTON. Jan S tPt Plans for a cooperative program of cutting forests on Indian lands in the Pacific northwest were announced today by Rep. Horan (R-Wash.) Indian service officials, the legislator raid, have already con ferred with the forest seivice, which has decided to send repre sentatives to the Indian forests to plan the program for sus tained yields. By law the government agen cies are permitted to make long term agreements with private in dustry to provide for logging, selective cutting of forests and reforestation, Horan said the first resrrva- Reefer Cars Now Available The acute shortage of refriger ator cars, felt by basin growers around the first of December, has eased off in the last week accord ing to Ross Aubrey, inspector for the state department of agri culture. Aubrey stated that at the present time the farmers are hav ing little difficulty due to lack of reefer cars. Aubrey said the surplus of cars was due to the fact that cold weather has ham pered loading to some extent and he pointed out that though no more cats were arriving than be fore, less cars were being sent out, thereby creating a fairly good backlog of cars. Aubrey said that farmers should not expect the over-all shortage of cars to be alleviated for some time. Much of the equip ment is pre-war and is rapidly wearing out. Very few cars are being manufactured to take their place. There is a possibility that another shortage in this area will take place, he said, especial ly if a streak of warm weather allows more loadings to be made. 7orld Var II Bonus Planned WASHmfiTOH -I.n- 4 m : A Dili to pay all World War II veterans a bonus of $4 per day for home . service and $5 for every day overseas was ready ' today for introduction by Rep.

Jan. 3 (IPi A tax-trimming bill calling for a 20 per cent cut in income taxes on the first $300,000 of indi vidual incomes was offered today by Rep. Knutson (R-Minn.). The prospective republican chairman of the house ways and means committee modified his bill at the last minute before in troduction at the noon opening of congress. Instead of a flat 20 per cent cut across the board all individual income tax brackets, Knutson recommended: . 1. A 20 per cent cut on the first $300,000 of income. 2. A 10.5 per cent reduction on that portion of income ex ceeding $300,000. Internal revenue bureau figures for 1943 the last year available showed that just over 600 per sons in the United States had a gross income above $300,000 that year. Knutson said In a statement: "The 'reduction of the tox at- Cutting Of Timber Plan tion to be surveyed under the plan probabjy would be the Col vllle Indian reservation. Horan said he had discussed the matter with E. Morgan Prycc, division director of the Indian service in the Pucific northwest, WalRor W. Wcohlke. chief of the resources bruueh of the service, and John II. Prov ince, assistant Indian commis sioner. They, he added. In turn con ferred with Ira Mason, of the forest service, to lay the ground work for extending the coopera tive plan to the Indian reserva tions. ' "We need the cooperative plan instituted on our Indian reserva tions to prevent ruin of our for ests," Horan said. "Under the law permitting the cooperation with private Industry the service can allot certain lands to tlie operators under long term con tracts. They will provide that the operators follow selective logging, provide for reforesta tion and thus create a sustained yield project where trees can al ways be cropped." Horan said tint before any In dian land could be allotted to private operators a public hear ing would have to be held and the opinion of all interested parties would bo taken into con sideration. Ice Skating Starts Soon The moorage at the foot of Moore park and adjacent to Up per Klamath lake, will be flood ed sometime late today, Friday, and will probably be ready for skating this week-end if con tinued cold prevails. Bert Stott, Moore park care taker, is in charge of the flood ing operations and recreation authorities have recommended the pond as a safe place for children to skate. Skating on other parts of the lake is dis couraged. Various ponds around town were being used for skating al though the heavy coat of ice is partially covered with a light snowfall. Quite a few youngsters have been using the government canal for skating. Durwood Fos ter, in charge of clearing the moorage site, said announcement as to skating -conditions at that point would be made in Satur day night's The .Herald and News. ' Visitor Gets Fine For Illegal Park B. I. Freeman of Wren, Ore., passing through Klamath Falls yesterday 'afternoon, stopped off to get a bite to eat but in doing so cut across Main street to glide into a parking place on the left side of the street.

Five cars were towed In yes terday for impronor parking in various parts of the city. tributable to that part of the income of taxpayers which is In excess of $300,000 is reduced by 10.5 per cent." In general, he added, "Incomes above $300,000 are unearned." In its final form, thai repub lican bill also would grant an added advantage to taxpayers over 65 years old, giving each person in that age group an ad ditional exemption of $500, mak ing a total exemption of $1000. Knutson's statement said: "Applicable to the entire cal endar year 1947, the measure will provide a 20 per cent re duction in the Individual income tax payable under existing law on incomes up to and slightly in excess of $300,000. ' "The group which receives the full 20 per cent reduction In cludes the worker, the earner, and those who utilize their in comes in production, expansion and employment."
