MS 5, virion lb il.OQ B pU HH Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY TIMBER interests, including those in our area, have made strong representations at Salem against a proposed 10 cents per 1000 board feet severance tax aesignea 10 n nance forest rehabilitation and research in Oregon. The senate forestry commit tee held a hearing on the issue yesterday. Timber represen tatives as well as others in cluding one county assessor spoke in opposition to the tax, while there was grange ex pression in favor of it. In . . . .. i i ki a cidemaiiy, mi om jr I I the house, but Representatives LhmhmhmbI Semon and Poole of Klamath EPLEY county voted no. There has been no serious argument against the general objective of the proposal. Rehabili tation of the forests of the state, and especially the Tillamook burn, is of vital economic im portance to the welfare of the slate as a whole. But right there is where , a major point has been made by the opposition the purpose is to benefit the state as a whole, and the cost should come from the state as a whole. Timber interests, and especially those which through tree farm operations and similar pro grams are financing their own forest re habilitation, claim that a. special tax of this nature is an unfair burden. Another argument, one that is of particular interest here in view of increasing possibilities of lodgepole pine harvest, is that a flat tax of this nature would bear disproportionately high on low value logs. The rate of taxation, for Instance, would be excessively high on $1 lodge pole as compared with that on $8 ponderosa. The county assessor who appeared at the committee hearing yesterday, an official of Linn county, opposed the tax because of the offset provided against personal property taxes now paid on logs. He foresees an unfavorable effect on county tax revenue as a result. As a matter of fact, some statements have been made to the effect that timber operators will benefit by savings on federal and state income taxes and personal property taxes to the extent of about 50 per cent of the entire severance tax for a given period. Bend Bulle tin, commenting on this feature, points out that this "saving" would be against federal, state and county governments, and would have to be made up by these governmental agencies in some other way from taxpayers, of course We fully recognize the worthy motives of the rehabilitation proposal, which was a part of Governor Snell's program offered at the opening of the legislative session. We likewise recognize the stringencies of the state's financial situation which make it necessary to go care fully on additional general taxation. But con sidering the issue in its entirety, we believe Klamath's legislators have voted wisely on it. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLOK WASHINGTON, March 18 Three or four of us were sitting around chewing the fat, and an ex-marine said right to my face he wondered if people were really interested in reading columns any more. He said the old Washington chit-chat about who was fighting who, or prophesying dire things which never happen well, that sort of stuff did not seem to be wanted by so many people in these perilous times. I failed to blush, but put on my best puzzled expression. He went on to say he had dropped past a bookshop, and had -found the window filled with literature about mental health and happiness, and how to get along in the kind of world we live in get along pleas antly as we can by our inspirations and thoughts, religions, ideals. Philosophy was what the people wanted,' he said, good, simple every day reasoning on the plain philosophy of life. They all looked a) me. My philosophy is to keep quiet about such matters and profit in my own thoughts by what others say, but they were In earnest and troubled about questions such as whether there will be another war, whether the unions have captured the republicans, or vice versa, and where is it all going anyway, so I suggested we get together to see if we could agree on a recipe for the troubled ex-serviceman. We started with questions and answers like this: f War Question Will there be another war? A, Wars arise from the desires of men. Within each man normally there is a desire to get ahead, to excel and conquer. Now man has not been able to civilize these desires within himself to an extent where he can live in peace at home. How can he do on an international scale what he cannot do on a national, state or local scale? We agreed ware have always arisen, the last few from weak nations but many from strong nations, and it would be impossible to prevent wars by simply making strong nations weak or weak nations strong. We agreed that, yes, there will always be wars. (You can see we got along further than the radio roundtables which merely succeed In airing conflicting views and always fail to reach a conclusion.) Q Is education essential to happiness for man? A The questioner was nearly shouted down. The happiest people most frequently are the least educated people. One fellow said he had never seen a discontented cow. But we also agreed that education enables man to attain higher appreciations of life, to enjoy more things. Q What is the best religion? A This stumped us for a while. We finally agreed that it was whatever religion you be lieved in. If you were born in ft. you would very likely seek in its realm for your inspira tions and spiritual solace. But one of our group held out against a unanimous decision without reservations (in a way like the supreme court which writes three concurring opinions). He said he believed in the religion of nature. Religion of Nature What in the world is the religion of nature? A The theory of God as manifested through Christ and the Scriptures, but not necessarily by any particular church. It is the theory that God created the universe in which there exists the spirits of both good and evil. You can see this in all the elements of nature, the rain which waters the ground also furnishes man with drink, as well as making crops grow to feed him. but a storm of rain or snow may destroy lives and crops. The decay of plant life furnishes the best fertilizer for the growth of foods. But in nature also, there are beetles and borers. Nature itself is a struggle for survival, a struggle for existence in a well-balanced con flict. It is a test you might say. Its elements are both good and evil. In man himself there are both good and evil inclinations. Thus no where in this world is there perfection, only a conflict of these simplest forces in which every man must be tested. Q But is this a religion or simply an ob servable philosophy? A It is the foundation of all religion, except anti-religions like atheism which teaches that man is god. Therefore all religions are philo sophically good and teach a sound philosophy of life urging man to improve himself. We all agreed man must believe in something or he will lack inspiration totally. If he believes man himself is god, or in a religion of self alone, he will lack any greater inspiration than himself. That would only answer the yearnings of ego, which is a dangerous thing, whereas religion answers the yearning of man for a greater in spiration. Q What is the only good column written today? A I answered that myself, and straightfor wardly, too. SIDE GLANCES 3-B VJkU, com imt iy m Mimes, we. T. m. Ma u. e. wt. orr.

The World Today By D.wrrr mckenzie AP Foreign Affairs Analyst The expected meeting in Mos cow between U. S. Secretary of State Marshall and Generalis simo Stalin is staggering in its possibilities, for upon such a two-man conversation might hang the peace of the world. This meeting if it comes off may be the real American Russian showdown. President Truman's pronouncement of the new policy aimed at commu nistic aggression was a major tactical maneuver for position from which to force the issue. It remains to get the cards face up on the table and a Stalin Marshall session might do ex actly that. Both Well Suit.d It's fitting that fortune, in selecting the pair for this histo ric duel since that's what it will be should have picked men who are widely regarded as emi nently suited tor the task. Both are big caliber, of wide experi ence and, when necessary, tough as tenpenny nails. The man who faces Stalin at this supreme moment has to be better than good, for the com munist chief stands out as one of history's most powerful and skillful leaders. The records of the past generation credit the I generalissimo with having been i the man behind the gun in all ' Russia's progress since he took i command in 1925, even to the! laying down of the broad strat-l egy for the red armies during the war, and for the vast thougli ; controversia 1 extension of the Soviet zone of influence. Tack ling him is no job for an am ateur. ' I Well, Uncle Sam has a top flight man ready to meet Stalin if the conference is arranged. , Marshall is said to be the great-: est military strategist of our 1 time, and he, is a cool, fast-think-, ing leader himself. But the gen eral is more than a soldier. He has had wide training in diplo-, macy. He knows his way about, ! and all these qualities are requi site, for we are dealing with a problem which is quite as much military as it is political. No War Wanted One great element of hope rests in the fact that neither Russia nor America want war. So far as the Soviet Union is concerned, she is so badly weak ened by her mountainous efforts In the late conflict that she isn't in position to wage a major of fensive war now, and won't be for many years. That, of course, isn't saying that she couldn't defend herself indefinitely if attacked. As we await the denouement of this great drama it's interest ing to note that the issue has re solved itself into one which lies mainly between America and Russia the world's paramount powers. Indications from both Moscow and London are that Britain is tending toward neu trality where this is compatible with the close relations between England and the United State.'. Indeed, some observers see chances that John Bull may find opportunities to play the part of mediator in solving the Russo American differences. Mine Workers Raising Fund PITTSBURGH.
