The all-time topper wit In 1MB. Till year's crop la expected aa ol now tn go only three per cent be low the big year' record, Theae estimate are for grain', hay, eta. A few ditys ago the agriculture department, revised II cotton estimates upward rather shsrply. The result was a aliarp drop In cotton prlcea. Oddly enough, aa a reault of the price drop, tho cotton country isn't feeling too good I That ralae an Interesting ques tion: Which li better big prmlucllon and lower prices, or smaller pro durliun and higher price? I'm afraid we're getting around to the point where we think of small production and high prlcea a better for us limn big produc tion and low prices, I'm pretty sure that's wrong. Over any considerable period nl time an economy of plenty will be better for all ot us than economy of scarcity, Oh. wen, for Hist matter. I'm Coming to the conclusion Hint free trade would be better for the world I large than trade that Is forced Into narrow, riirtd, nationalistic channels by tariffs. And free economy If we could ever get back to It would be bet ter for all of ns than our present rigidly regimented economy. That. I suppose, Is heresy In these days. But 1 can't help believing It. Kerr's an Interesting little one from l,ong Beech: Oenersl Elsenhower has sent a five-inch "I Like Ike" campaign button to two-year-old Konald Welch. (Konald Is the tot who awallowed smaller Elsenhower button few days ago slid was hustled off to a hospital. I Aa they pinned the new one on jf,im, thev pointed out to llonald flhAl It was TOO BIO for him to swallow, 1 like Uiat. Ik, you know. Could have called for a LAW prohibiting buttons ol awallowable site. Thst's the uual sy. When something goes wrong, we're all inclined to stsrt holler ing thai there ORTA BE A LAW. Instead, lk solved the problem In a atrictly common sense wsy by giving the kid a button be couldn't swallow. We need more of that kind of thinking. Did you read that Utile tsle the other day about the ai-ycer-old dauuhter of Emperor Hltohlto who went modern irTa- big way am married a isrmerr mot omy tnai. but we quoted her a saying she Is studying agriculture so she csn can help her buabsnd out In bis busmma.l Well. It wssn't exactly thal-a-way. Her husband Is weslthy. and he's a gentleman farmer and on top of all the rest he' a former nobleman.

J.. ,,,lf .,, f 3 state levy against property, so that lor the psst 13 years, since 1840, the stale has collected no properly inx whatsoever. However, property tsxatlon remain,, the hM. When, ar itlon t'Jv the time comes that Income excise tsxes end other stau-y comes don't equal the etste'S nenses, the burden of making t the difference will fall right back on property, Thst doesn't mean that property owners are getting olf light. Not st an. properly taxes ere the prin cipal source of Income for all the locnl governmental units county, city, school district, fire district, psrk district, etc. In fact, the costs of those local governmental units nave grown so tremendously In re. cent yesrs, s good many people feel thai property is csrrylng more uisn its rigniiui snare even if the state Isn't taking a cut st It. TREND Because property generally Is Ihe tax source for the vsrlous smaller units of government, there is a general trend In e good msny nisics to leave mav aouice to the Iocs! governments, and look else where lor stale government in come. Thnt, In effect. Is what the Ore gon legislature had In mind when II psssed tills psrllculsr act. Only It didn't pull out entirely. The slx mlll provision keeps one loot In the door. If times get tough, end Income taxes end excise taxes aren't nro. ucing as mucn money as the slate government needs for it gen eral operation, the stele could turn bsck to property and lew ud to six mills, even U this measure is approved . ! It has been estimsted that a levy I of six mills on property vslustion ! would bring in about $10,000,000 a .year. That Isn't so much, consid ering thst the 1051-62 blennlum 1 ststo levy agnlnsi property wss jover $41,000,000. Fortunstely, the Istste didn't hsve to collect thst ; money, Persons! income lax col- lections were sufficient to offset ill. ' I'ROTECTIOS Theoretically, this slx-mlll Ilml tatlon plsn Is designed as a pro tection to property, to ward against some future tune when the prop erty tax iosd might be Just too much to carry, a time when property taxes might be so Jilgh that owning a home or piece of ground la Oregon lust wouldn't be worth It. ; ; This property tax limitation plan Isn't without opposition, though. It Is seen ss sq attempt by the legislstur. or b certain llke mlnded indlvidutls within the leg. siature atid oei to work the aUtle into such a financial hole that the people will have to come to the rescue by passing a sales tax. If enough ot the state' sources of revenue are tightened up or pinched off. It can be argued, and the people of the slate continue to demand the services the elate pro vides sooner or later they're go ing to come to the conclusion that Oregon has to have a aslea tax to slay even. jm t THVMB8 DOWN ' The people ol Oregon have turned thumbs down on the. sales tax about half a dosen times. But Hi Issue Isn't dead by a long shot. Opposition to this property tax limitation plsn also take a per. sonal turn, as voiced by Jim Msrr, executive secretary of the Oregon Federation of Labor, la the official votera' pamphlet. The measure Is described es "an ettempt to legislate for far future yeara on a program offered by persons who have distinguished themselves by making, predictions that did not coma true." Apparently that a slap at some member of the legislature who, during the early atages ot the two most recent sessions of the leg Is-1 lature, maintained thst the stale budget couldot possibly be bal anced without a whopping big property tax collection or come lucrative new taxsUom- only to find later on thst the budget could be balanced without either. Another mark against this pnr ticulsr act I the suspicious swift ness by which It Went through the 161 legislature. It wss introduced snd psssecj by bath houses of the legislature In one day the next to lust dsy of the session. Court Denies Spies Hearing WASHINGTON IH The Su preme Court denied Mondny a hearing to atom spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, the husband and wife sentenced to die for giving American A-bomb secrets to Rils- SlR. The denial lets stsnd unchanged the conviction and death sentence of the New York City couple and puts them another step closer to execution tn the electric chnlr In New York s Sing Blng prison. Only a commutation of their sen. tence by the President can now snve them. The high court's rejection of the couple's appeal wns announced In a brief order, which noted thst Justice Duck ' favored a hearing. The court's vote thus was 8-1. The high tribunal at the same time and by the SRnte vote denied a hearing to Morton Sabell, a radar expert convicted with the Rosen, bergs. He escspted the death pen alty, but got a maximum sentence of 30 yesis in prison. Mrs. Rosenberg's brother, David Orcenglnss, testified for the gov ernment snd helped send his sister and brother-in-law to the death house. Oreenglass Rot a 15 year sentence tor his confessed part In the py plot. No appeal waa filed In his case. The death sentence given the Rosenbergs has been described as the first ever Imposed In pesce time by a civilian court in. this country (or espionage. 7y n fF a a I Til V ?y Price Five Cents U Psge Ike Attacks Government Interference By WON U'lllTCHF.

English Reject Iran Demand LONDON VH Britain has de cided to reject Iran's demand tor an immediate down payment of 30 million pounds (66 million dol lars) as a first step toward an oil settlement, an ofllclal source said here Monday. The British expect to have Amer. lean backing in turning down Pre mier Mohammed Mossadegh's terms. Mossadegh told Britain six days ago she can send a negotiat ing team to Tehran to work out a deal if she Pvs up by Tuesday. A foreign oftice spokesman jura "It Is hoped" an official British reply will be delivered Tuesday. Some undisclosed "new factors" may appear in the reply, he addeu. Word of Britain's Intentions came out as Tehran new dispat ches reported Mossadegh' govern ment ha moved against an In fluential group of dissidents ac cused of "plotting" In the Interests of art unnamed foreign embassy. MONDAV, OCT. li, Ufit Chest Goal Company and Charlie Mack, oper ator of the Klamath Flower Shop. Basis of this new division was the payroll deduction plan, which permits workers to torm a com munity service and welfare fund by having a few cents deducted from their pay periodically. At Taylor's suggestion, the Pal merlon firm. "'had already acUvt tated such a plan and it has proven entirely successful. Plamerton em- oloyes had u greed to contribute H cents monthly and the firm m f e m e n t a proportionate anare. In connection with Use payroll ' deduction plan. Smith and hi aides decided to erase what they believed were two principal faults of previous drives. First, there was the oitenwieard complaint that workers were solicited at their Jobs and their wives were solicited st home. Bo It was decided that In urban areas, there would, be no house-to-house solicitation. The second fault had to do with workers being approached several times during the year and asked to donate to various causes. Under the payroll deduction plan, no di rect solicitation of workers is al lowed. The worker-management lund is administered by a special committee charged with deciding first whether the cause is worth while and second bow much should be donated out of the fund. A remarkable Illustration of how well the plan works was reflected by Palmerton's plan this year. Under the old plan. Palmerton workers were approached at their Job and solicited individually. This not only embarrassed the worker, many of whom didn't happen to have much cash at the time, but required long hours of work by the solicitors. Last week, the Palmerton em ployes notified chest headquarters they were ready to contribute to this year's chest, A chest repre sentative called at the plant and was handed a check for $3,000, an amount $700 more than the workers and management gave last year. Now, employes and management of more than 30 of the larger firms In the county hare decided to In stall the plan. Labor unions have also pledged support. In the case of culinary workers, for Instance, many of whom frequently change Jobs, it will be more feasible for the union to collect the fund than for em ployers. As one chest official remarked: "It looks tike the wage earners from apprentices through bosses, have decided to pitch In and boost Klamath out ot the failure column Into the success bracket." AutoVreck Injures Two Two Chinese from 8sn Frsncls co were in lured early Sunday morning In an auto mishap at 11th and Main, An automobile driven by John Allen Roush, 33, of Cheinult. struck a vehicle driven by Paul Yin Hu! of San Francisco, and the two pas senger's In Hul's car, a woman.
