Nor ex'Klamathltes tor that matter. Now we get word that A. B. Hood, long associated with the lumber business here, has been named vice-chairman of the na tural resources committee for the Sacramento Valley Council, Cat lfornla State Chamber of Com' merce. Congratulations to you A.B. and all the best of luck. The news re lease had a lew errors in it, but not when they referred to you as a "prominent .ixorinern uamornia lumber executive." The blestest er ror came in the lines that sent the release to Shasta and Butte counties. Oh well, we all make mistakes. Little differences from all over department: Joy Ustlck, our long time stereotyper and pressman, recently returned from a vaca tion down In the deep South where he and his wife visited with their son, currently stationed at an army camp. Joy was telling me about stop ping at a small cafe- for a snack where the waitress, in a curious and friendly mood asked the ques tion. "Where you - all from? You're brogue ain't us." Just recalls to mind the trouble we've had distinguishing what was being said at times, even though the person was speaking what he or she fondly believed to be Eng lish. Or American, nt least. Guess we all think we're correct. Congratulations to the Sierra Club, 1050 Mills Tower, San Fran cisco. They have gotten out a small brochure describing Hector, the garbage collector. Hector Is drawn from the character Smokey, the bear who protects the forest from fires. And Hector's Job is to try and keep the forest areas clean of cans, garbage, paper plates and the usual litter that goes with a careless camping or picnic party. I think all we need for emphasis here is to quote a few lines from the attractive little booklet: "Wilderness gets scarcer every year, and some of the best of It Is belnir snoiled bv careless mis use. Join us in educating the spoilers. Make an honest bear of Hector." You've got our support. Sier rans. Keep up the' good work.

CAUGHT IN THE ROUNDS JAMES MARLOW By DEB ADDISON IN ONE EAR and out the type writer, listening tp Hank Semon, the Klamath County Democrat who again served as chairman of the House Ways and Means Com mittee at the last session of the state legislature, as he reported legislative doings to the Rotary Club; '- ' If trying to save the State of Oregon money ls matter for any srltlclsm (Hank said) then I'll nave to take it. At any rate 1 guess I should be proud of being grown up enough to have the city papers take cracks at me. . In the financial picture unlike the way tluy do it in Washington we always try to find out how much revenue there will oe nrsi, and then keep appropriations within that amount. For the next two years it's estl mated that the state will receive ISO million in personal income taxes, (30 million In corporate excise taxes, and $43 million from miscellaneous (Including liquor) taxes. There Is an additional $39 million surplus from previous in come tax collections. (Our notes say that's a total oi $199 million, which It ain't quite, pith.r our nencll slipped, or missed something, or Hank got his tang tungled in his talk.) . The legislature appropriated $196 million out of the $199 minion, leaving a little In the toe of the sock for expenditures outside the budget. Two third of state moneys come from personal Income and corpo rate excise taxes. That's okay If the Income tax holds up, but it's gambling too much on good times. The state tax setup has been very complicated. The average person can't be expected to under stand It. what with Income taxes offsetting property taxes and ell. It's been simplified a little and needs to be simplified a lot more. The voters last year passed a mill limitation on taxation of property, but that can be cnansca at any time by legislative octlon. Next time there'll be the proposi tion of making this limitation ft constitutional amendment, which couldn't be changed by the legis lature. There also will be the propo sition or putting all tax money In the general fund, which will be a good move toward simplification, but which will make all the more necessary a constitutional limita tion on taxation of property. I think (said Hsnki that local rightly so. The voters authorized expendi ture of $3 million for a domiciliary hospital for mentally Incompe tent aged people to be located near Portland. The legislature did not take action on this because it became convinced that It could be done a different way at a great saving in operating cost. The general mental hospital at Salem now has 360o patients. It's found that when such an Institu tion goes over 4000 patients the cost per patient starts to climb. For that reason and because 40 per cent of such patients come from the Portland area we believe that any expansion beyond the capacity for 4000 patients should be made at ft new institution near Portland. If tne domiciliary hospital were combined with a new general mental hospital near Portland, the cost per patient per month would be reduced to $87 from the $175 It would cost If built nnd opernted there by Itself. The voters will have a decision to make on this at the next elec tion. . Converting the state retirement act to federal social security re quired careful technical work and timing. It was worked out and Is a wonderful thing. We held the line on state relief. Through deducting for social se curity, plugging the holes on chlselers, mnking this a matter of public record like all other state business, and other means, me reuei Din win be no more than it was two years ago. With social security exnandlnir there Is no reason why this public relief bill should not be cut in coming years.' WASHINGTON Wl The excess profits tax poses one of the Strang est dilemmas in American tax history. No solution keening It. softening it, or dropping it will piease everyone. It's heartily disliked in Congress, probably by most members. Gov ernment tax experts frankly point out unfairness In it. And business men despise it. The best argument In Its favor ls that It does bring the govern ment revenue: about 2'2 billion dollars a year. There are two main arguments against it, and they go like this: It ls unfair; it discour ages business by draining profits. Not because he liked It but be cause he said the revenue is need ed. President Eisenhower asked Congress to extend the excess profits tax (EPT) until Dec. 31. otherwise, it will end automatic ally June 30. Congress, now considering his request, after the start of the Korean War raised Individuals' income taxes and slapped EPT on corporations. Both kinds of taxes were meant to be anti-intlatlonary and to get money. (There Is a good, but rarely mentioned, political reason for keeping EPT until Dec. 31. On that date the income tax on individuals automatically drops about 10 per cent. Voters might resent It if corporations got a tax cut in June, six months ahead of them.) Sore point from the beginning: What is an excess profit? Congress answered: a firm's earnings In pre Korea 1946-1949 must be taken as average or normal. A certain percentage of present earnings, above that average, is excessive. EPT is in addition to the regular maximum 62 per cent tax on cor poratlons earning $25,000 or more a year, uongress aimed at a total, maximum tax of 70 per cent on corporations the 62 Per cent reg ular tax combined with KPT. F'rnis under $25,000 pay a flat 30 per cent, no EPT. Some of the arguments against the tax: particularly unfair to small businesses which were Just getting started In the 1946-1949 period, when their profits were under standably low, but which have now hit their stride. Their present earnings, although much higher than before Korea, may still be only normal for their Industry. Yet, those present earn ings, or part of them, are treated as an excess over their 1946-1949 earnings. Or take another example: Two firms, perhaps in the same town, make the same product and are in competition. In 1946-1949 both were poorly managed, neither mak ing the profits it could have made. About the time of Korea the stockholders in one of these, firms hired new managers. By drive and Imagination, they expanded the firm, boosted its sales, increased Its earnings. But it must pay a high EPT because its present earnings are so much above Its pre-Korean average. EPT hurts expansion bv drain ing off profits All firms are aware of the exam ple just given. Many of them therefore, know that the harder they work and the bigger their profits, the bigger the slice that will be taken by the government. This discourages some from trying to do better. And many, since EPT will siphon off their earnings unless some of It Is spent on company expenses, go in for extravagances that are not good business and are actually inflationary, such as big expense accounts, big) parties, and so on. There is another side to that coin of course. Other companies plan for the time when EPT Is ended by putting money Into research and development. In the pie-Korean days some companies suffered disaster, like tire, flood or strike, which kept their profits abnormally low or wiped them out. But their present earnings, although perhaps only normal, look extremely excessive when compared with the disaster period. They ask the government for relief. They do so by estimating what their earnings would have been in the pre-Korean period if there had been no disaster. That's a costly undertaking, easier borne by big firms than small ones. And the estimates must be convincing to the tax collectors. Oregon Technical Institute came In for a lot of fireworks. It seems like every time we get It ironed out and on an even keel somebodv kicks over me applecart. Let me lust sav this. We oucht to not only keep OTI going but ought to havo two or three others around the state. If we can spend $29 million on "white collar" stu dents at the university and col leges, then we certainly can spend $4. 5 or 6 million for the common boy or girl who doesn't want to or who can't go to college but who wants to learn a trade to make his living. (Hank said that, oslde from criticism from the city papers for not spending money as fust or in governments should have the lit Id i thp way they'd like, he has had of property taxation and that the j little comment, onp way or the state should get Us money In other j other, since he came home from ways. 1 Salem.

To American gagwriters. he is a fellow who wakes up In the morn lng and asks his wife: "What century Is it?" In vaudeville he Is two fellows with monocles nnd drooping mus taches. The first mumbles through his bristles, "I say . . .tin. . .er uh. . . arc you English?' And the second stutters back, "Er. . . ah uh. . .if I were any more English, old boy. you wouldn't be able to understand me. In Joke books the Englishman boards a train going from London to Edinburgh, and a stranger in the compartment says, "Nice weather we're having." As the Enallshman leaves the train at Edinburgh, he turns to the Strang er and snaps. "Chatterbox!" Those two are - outworn stock caricatures, of course. But many Americans still think of the Eng lishman as a guy a bit behind the times and proud of it. very re served and reticent, but one who always faces life with a stilt upper lin a dull comnnnlon In victory but a creat comrade to have at your side when the bullets are coming your way. This makes him out a nice fel low, but one not likely to become the life ot a party. Perhaps I have been meeting the wrong type of Englishman, but I don't find him that way at all. The English have the same ap petiie for fun and self-indulgence as a five-year-old boy turned loose in a enndv store, and have had It for centuries. Were there ever kic.v.or roi'erers than the Eng lish of the first Elizabethan era, 400 years ago? It there were, Shakespeare was ft liar. Tho Englishman of today Is lust nrices are going - or see It there will be plant layoffs that would cut incomes. Industrialists may decide to live on inventories and slow down on purchases. The urge to build up steel inventories, for example, might lose ft lot ol its present punch. The hoped - for Korean truce has been telegraphing Its punch tor n long time now. Stock mar kets have had chances to discount It. Businessmen have had time to plan for It. Consumers may have, loo. And don't overlook the big psy chological lilt that peace loving Americans would Bet out of as gusty and vital as Ins ancestors. The trouble is he hasn't been turned loose In a candy store for a long time. The coronation showed he loves to kick up his heels when uic gives him a chance. I don't find the Englishman reticent. He's a great talker. But you have to open him up. You open a clam with a sharp knife. You open an Englishman by kind ness, by showing a real interest in him. Then he is as exposed as an open clam, and will tell you even his dreams. But if you look the least bit bored, he'll clam up again. That Is why I find the Englishman the world's best conversationalist. They say Englishmen talk to each other only about the weather, and In a series of "hrrumphs" and "um-ums" that only they can de code. If this is true, the only possi ble reason I can advance is that most people like to talk about their troubles, and in a crowded land where everybody has more than his share of them, who wants to listen to the other guy complain? It ls safer to criticize the climate. Life Is rugged for the average Englishman, compared to life in America, although he feels things are looking up now. Wars, depres sions and an old caste system that ls cracking up but still exists have made him something of an under dog. That probably explains his tremendous sentimental sympathy for all underprivileged things dogs, cats, birds, flowers and children. He will accept cruelty to him self more easily than he will cruel ty to lesser creatures. The Englishman, rich or poor. is introspective. He thinks a great deal, but generally wears- his mouth Inside his heart. If he has done anything worth bragging about, he prefers to let his deeds sprak for him. Duly and discipline are token more seriously by the ordinary Englishman, it seems to me, than by the ordlnory American. He is less likely to say "To hell with it." But no man on earth guards his individual rights and personal freedoms more fiercely, because no other man has fought over so many centuries to get and . Keep mem. All men are morsels of yearning ' In a crust of courage, thick or j thin. On the Englishman the ' crust has grown a little deeper than on moit, and whatever nut It there time or the weather or him self It Is this that chiefly makes htm an Englishman. i Along Nature's '.

They are doing everything they can to provide satisfactory uouing. many unngs complicate their problems like this problem of dishpan detergents. New threats io our tisning seem to present themselves constantly. In connection with the problems or maintaining an ample supply of fish in our streams, here is on ooservation from the recently re- leasea oienniai report of the Min nesota Division of Game and Fish. After Indicating that Minnesota fishing and hunting for the bien nium were worth about $250,000,000 In business generated, the report states: "The greatest problem In con serving or trying to maintain an ample supply of game and fish forin ever increasing number of hunters and fishermen in the stea dy reduction of wild land for game and water area for fish. As the population of our country Increases there is more wood, concrete and steel covering the land and more under cultivation. But few of our people realize that Minnesota is rapidly losing its water. There ls probably 25 per cent less water in Minnesota today than there was 50 years ago. We have built large dralnago ditches to drain off mil lions of ncres that held water through all history. A number of once fairly good lakes have van ished. In the agricultural portions of the state, many of the once deep and productive fishing lakes filled with silt. Today, many of these lakes because of their shal lowness and consequent freezing out during the winter months, will not sustain fish life throughout the year." "Over-cropping of agricultural lands without giving the soli a rest and rebuilding it with cover, has lost millions of tons of topsoll. washing it into lakes and streams and down rivers to the ocean. Most of the waters . are polluted and careless chemical spraying to coin bat tent caterpillars has also de stroyed large numbers of lingerling fish. Means must be found to stop these losses and rebuild the re newable resources." Good fishing doesn't just happen anymore it must be created and protected. The fish conservationists can't do the Job alone. Both the fisherman and those who profit indirectly from fishing must help. Otherwise our leading form of out door recreation may face a bleak future. BRUCE BIOSSAT Nearly three vears ago Communlsta moved into South Korea and thereupon touched off the greatest peacetime defense ef fort in the history of free nations. All the evidence which could be vlet Union, the sponsor of this unearthed indicated that the So aggression, was greatly surprised and shocked by the West's violent response to the move. The defense of Korea was Just one phase. NATO, theretofore largely a paper organization, gained muscle and steel. The for-elgn-mllltary-ald program was born. America's own defense took on greater stature. Finally, six western European countries signed a pact creating a European array, to Include 12 divisions irom West Germany. In the political and economic sphere, the Schumnn plan for a European coal and - steel com munity came Into being, Important efforts were made to draw the Bonn government closer to the West, and ambitious. European- minded statesmen started drafting a' constitution for a United States of Europe. None of this could have made the Russians happy. They have been trying, one way or another, to reverse these strong currents toward western unity ever since 1950. The natural delays, complica tions and disagreements which go with so tremendous a defense ef fort by a varied group of nations were some assistance to soviet aims. So were the popular atti tudes against making new eco- the nomic sacrifices so soon World war ji. after Marshall Plea, Understand US t nMnnw m limn rinnvna r B , rh .if .

The Soviet Union's 1953 "peace offensive" Is calculated to accen tuate this new trend by putting a powerful broke on common west hopes in many breasts and pro vided excuse for turning away from painful decisions. Yet recent declarations from Moscow have begun to chill the spirit of the hopefuls. The suspi cion is growing that Russia does not wont s- settlement except on its own impossible terms. The So viet Union's strength does not seem to have lessened nor lis goals to have changed since the S western effort began. In this reawakening to the na ture of the enemy, many men are casting doubt on the wisdom of al lowing severe arms reductions, and of permitting brave projects like the European army plan to drag on for a whole year without final approval. . Clearly there is no safety against Russia In doing too little. If we are not to rely upon these meas ures so brilliantly planned since 1950, then in what alternatives shall we find our security? THE DOCTOR SAYS By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. About one ln every hundred school children is believed to have congenital heart disease, rheumatic fever or rheumatic streptococcic infections could be attacked when they occur the chances of bouts of rheumatic fever would be lessened. A short. Intensive course o! heart disease. This sounds pretty treatment with penicillin, if it can bad. and It is in a way, but there are many encouraging develop ments. Congenital heart disease, that disease present at birth, ls far less common than rheumatic heart disease. I shall say nothing about It ' ln this column except that developments in heart sur gery have meant that , many youngsters with some kinds of congenital heart disease can be operated on successfully and re turned practically to normal. The greatest amount of heart disease in children is the result or rheumatic fever. This disease strikes most commonly ' between the ages of five and 15. but it ls not confined to these ages by any means. Although It appears that some progress Is being made m treatment, the really glont strides hove been made ln prevention. Th greatest danger from rheu matic heart disease, which is the most serious complication of rheumatio fever, is the result of repeated attacks. It ls known, however, that most attacks of rheumatic fever are preceded two or three weeks earlier by In fections with certain kinds of streptococci (which ore germs), such as tonsillitis, sore throat, scarlet fever, or infections of the middle ear. Since this ls the case, It Is readily apparent that if these be given at the first sign of strep tococcic infection, helps to pre vent the first attack of rheu matic fever. It should be mentioned that rheumatic fever Itself Is not con tagious, but that most of the pre liminary infections with strepto cocci ore, end therefore anyone exposed to someone with a strep tococcic infection should also be checked over. In an excellent pamphlet called "Heart Disease in Children." re cently published by the Ameri can Heart Association, some common sense health precautions are suggested for parents and teachers: Keep the child away from other children and adults who have colds or sore throats; give tne youngster a bed and ft scpar ate bedroom, if possible: dress him suitably for bad weather, and make sure that wet clothes are changed promptly: use proper diet, exercise and rest to keep the cniid in gooa general health: don't nag the youngster about his health or frighten him into being too cautious. If the child gets a coin or sore the child, but take him to the fam ily doctor so that he can be treated with penicillin or a sulfa if a dangerous streptococcic in fection is present. it was important that the British public resist Soviet propaganda . that the United States is engaged on some warlike course. He also declared the American public "Is Intent on seeing that nothing be permitted to lend aid to the Chinese Communist foroes." Marshall told the luncheon gath ering of 2,000 he thought the Brit ish public "only partially realizes" the size of American casualties in Korea. He added: "For some reason probably a result of clever Soviet propaganda and subtle suggestion there seems to be a belief that America ls ln a warlike mood, fraught lth the possibility of bringing about a gen eral conflagration, "Nothing, I know, could be furth er from the desires of the Ameri can people and their leaders." Marshall also referred to charg es occasionally made here that the United States irjvemment Ignores the advice of its Allies. He said that in s own exper ience as secretary ,of state and sec retary of defense "l think m maxi mum of attention was pa;d to the those of the Brltisn government."

The marathon strike began In Marcn, 1939, when Jim fired bartender. The union demanded the man's reinstatement and Jim said no. The union pulled out the other bar tenders and Jim hired barmaids, The union sent pickets. Downey wouldn't give an inch. Neither would the union. Day after day, month after month, year after year, the pick ets plodded the old, familiar side walk, until last Saturday, when Downey died at the age of 79. The union, assuming that Mrs. Downey would listen to reason. called off the pickets and made ready to negotiate. But Jim's widow announced Thursday she has decided to stand fast. "The barmaids make better than union wages and they are going to stay," said Mrs. Downey. "Be sides, the strike docs business no harm at all. Many's the person comes here to have a look at our famous pickets and stays for a drink." MOTEL BURN'S NEWPORT. Ore. Wl Fire rle.
