FLOYD WYNNE City Editor entered u second class matter at the post attic at Klamath Palls, Ore., on August 30, IMC, under act of Coacress, Marco I, 8EBVICE8: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS Serving Southern Oregon And Northern California SUBSCRIPTION RATES CARRIER I MONTH , I SO MONTHS f t.00 I YEAR- I1S.0O MAIL , 1 MONTH f 1.50 I MONTHS 7.50 1 YEAR , , , 412.00 Tax Talk By JOSEPHINE KITTREDCE The deadlock on the method of tax reduction and the amount of tax reduction, to be given by the special session of the Oregon leg islative assembly, is exactly as we forecast it would be: The Republican-Democrat coalition in the Senate versus the Democrat ma jority in the House. By the time you read this, I hope that the compromise bill has been passed, and approved by the governor, so the legislators can return home and the taxpayers of the state will be in a position to evaluate where they stand in this picture. One of the arguments used Ilest Friend By JOHN GUERNSEY The Klamath Basin was recent ly the source of a pair of those stories which never lose their warmth and interest , . . stories about young lads and their dogs. in one of the instances, 12-year old Don Rider of Klamath Falls was greatly disturbed one morn ing during the pheasant season when his dad, Al, returned to the house with bad news. Butch, the family dog of more than 10 years' standing, had wandered off and become lost while hunting in the Merrill area. The entire Rider family was pretty much upset. They had lost against lowering the income tax rate structure and allowing a smaller surplus to remain at the end of this IS57-195!) biennium (two year) period by the Democrat majority in the House, is that the budget will inevitably have to be raised for the 1959-1961 biennium to perhaps a sum of 320 million dollars or higher, and it is foolish not to collect this money from the income tax now, so we won t have to raise taxes in the next biennium. Somehow, this has 'a rather ir responsible sound to me . . . for one thing there is no 70 million dollar surplus now. The whole fig ure of 70 to 80 million dollars has just been a figure of the State Tax (ommission in estimating income. The actual amount of surplus cash on hand at the moment is prob ably around 12 million dollars. Also, if the present income tax collections are exceeding t h e amount necessary to run the busi ness of the state of Oregon, -why should we continue to squeeze old John Taxpayer for more money than we need, just to make the next legislators and state officials we elect able to prevaricate a lit tle Dit ana say, -;jve didn t raise your taxes, wnen tney Dudget this 320 million dollars they are talking aooui. It amounts to about the same proposition as your going down to me new car oeaier ana looking at one of the new 1958 models, and deciding to buy one on the in stallment payment plan. Suppose your payments were to be J100 a mohlh for 24 months, or two years wouia see your car paid for. Then, a month or so later the car deal er would call you on the phone ana say, ionn, we maae a mis take on your new car contract. The 24 monthly payments should have been $75 a month, instead of 10o. I don t know how this could have happened, a bookkeeping er ror in our office. I guess. How ever, it- might just be a good thing for you to let it ride as is, and continue paying the $100 a month. At the end of the two years, you'll probably want to iraae in your old car, and that extra $25 a month over and above the amount your payments will go a long way toward paying some thing on the now car you buy then. Besides, car prices will prob ably go up, and this will take care oi that Increase too. What would happen? First of all, you would tell the car dealer that he was absolutely out of line. mat wnen you invested your mon ey in advance, you put it in the oanK or an insurance Dohcv some place where the interest was paia to you. iou would probably say that you didn't want anyone using your money in their busi ness for free. Also, you might say that you weren't sure you were go ing ui miy a new car in two years, and if you did you were not at all convinced that it needed to cost more money. This comparison is not at all apt to happen, because no private business could be run like the stute of Oregon is running its business, and slay in business very long . . and I am referring to the tax rid dle, specifically. The actual facts aboul Oregon show that unemployment in Octo ber hit a new high, that unem ployment compensation benefits were me highest of any October more than just a dog had lost an irreplaceable mem ber of tho family. "I wouldn't worry so much," said young Don, "but you know Butch likes to fight and some vicious dog might get ahold of him and kill him . . . you know Butch doesn't have any teelh." ' He was talking with his moth er on Butch 's first night away from home. "I don't know whether it would help much," he sur mized, "but I have $19 that I'd offer as a reward for Butch." That $19 Don was willing to of fer was the money he had made all during the summer months by collecting porcupine noses and turning them in to the county for bounty. All Don s worrying wasn't in vain, About a week after the dog had become lost he was discovered well fed and sleeping on the front porch of a Klamath Falls home. Another hunter had picked up the lost aog. Drought him to town, and had been enjoying some real, fine Hunting with him. fcverything is right with the world at this point. Butch is back in his regular kennel at the Ri ders and Don is planning on in vesting nis $19 in shotgun shells ana lishing gear. A similar type story didn't have nearly as nice an ending recently at (jazelle, California, just north of Weed. A fellow called the home of young Johnny Pritula, about 8, and ad vised that he had just run over Johnny's dog, Blackie. The dog had been so badly hurt that in kindness to the animal the fel low shot him. When Johnny learned of the dis heartening news he had only one thing to say . . . "Well, gramma, I'll Just take my wagon down the road, pick up Blackie, and bring him back here so I can bury him in tnc dbck yard. A short time later Johnnv and his grandpop were busy digging a noie wnicn wouio be Blackies final kennel. 'Pops," queried Johnnv. "nnw when we bury 01' Blackie we'll leave his head sticking out, won't we? Granddad Jim Sullivan con vinced the boy that it would per haps be better to bury all of Black ie, but asked Johnny why he thought it would be better to leave the pup's head out. "Oh," said the little guy, "I think that would be a lot better because then I could come out and look at him every morning." can rise above race prejudice. The picture is based on the nov el by James Michener. There are rumors around that Brando him self may make a million dollars from the film. He says, aside from money, that Hollywood has done itself and America a disservice because too often it is potentially the best pos sible instrument of communication with foreign people but has failed to communicate. "The time has come when the people abroad are not disposed to take foreign snobbery any longer irom anybody, he said. "It behooves us to do what we can to improve our relations with n hof nnnn . ii.hn in a ,h..W ( n.n tbey we nlav rjnrj i:v(,s jnipcrip. pendent with." After an overseas stint during which he made two pictures in Japan ana toured southeast Asia Brando feels that people in those areas judge America by its mov ies and that the movies, by more realistic dramas about world Drob lems and prejudices, can improve mutual understanding and fare well also at the box office. It s a lack of experience with other people that makes them seem strange and frightening," he said. Brando himself has made one kind of adjustment to a lame that has been spectacular, but even among his fellow actors is ac cepted as well earned by talent and pertormance. "I have given up stating the pros and cons about myself." he said, i d just as soon let people come to their own conclusions and let it go at that." Brando today is a pleasant, wary, self-guarded, unsure, im, puisive, multimillion-dollar prop erty still exploring bis moat. . Asked how success had affected his life, lie said: i "It's a dangerous position to be in . . . from the standpoint of maintaining a sensible perspective on yourseii in relation to other people. It grows like coral does . . . you don't see it until the tide of circumstances goes out . . , and reveals a whole network matter of moments and with little physical effort. A camping kit also may well include a folding gasoline stove, air mattresses, sleeping bags, fold ing chairs and tables, nested cook ing utensils and dishes. All equip ment, utensils and supplies now come in such compact form that the whole outfit may easily be transported in the trunk of the average car. Another growing trend is the use of the light "gypsy type" trailer. Trailer campers increased by one per cent in Oregon's rec ords during the past season. The light trailer can be towed at rela tively high speeds and provides a home on wheels wherever the vacationer may be. A few years ago some hotel and motel owners were protesting Ore gon's program for developing state- owned tourist camps. They con sidered such camps to be compe tition to private industry. Despite the fact that the proportion of tourists using motels during the past season dropped to 50 per cent irom the 54 per cent recorded the previous year, the motel owners no longer voice opposition to state camps. They have found that campers make a practice of using motels at frequent intervals to obtain baths, laundry service, etc., and that more campers mean more motel business as well. The Oregon Highway Commis sion has a Travel Information Division. This division is aided by an advisory committee, named to assist in the formation of adver tising budgets and programs. Because Oregon's camp sites are limited, the advisory committee has recommended that advertising the state's campgrounds be kept in balance with capacity. This is the policy governing the budget for the forthcoming year. But there is good evidence the campes will be coming in greater numbers than camps will accommodate, regard less oi advertising.

During the past tourist season. computed through July, the state camps under jurisdiction of the Highway Commission recorded 184,000 camper -nights, as com. pared with 114,000 for the some period in 1936, a gain of 50,000. In 1957 there were 1.181 campsites available. These will be increnswt to 1,535 in 1958. During the past season nearly all camps handled more campers than their rated capacity by 10 per cent or more. The gain of 44 per cent in over night campers is considered very significant. It is believed to indi cate a trend that will grow in coming years imbalance.

L. Langslet points out the latest regulations he has received from the Portland Field Office of the U. S. Depart ment of Commerce. These regula tions do not apply to packages for the armed services. Don't put more than 1,000 ciga rettes in a package to the Nether lands, because that country pro hibits more than that to an ad dressee in any one month. Certain horticultural and food products sent to Switzerland are subject to import licensing. If you send something to Bar bados exceeding a value of $10 BWt labout $5.90 U. S.i an im port license would be required. Write plainly on the outside of your package to Mexico that it contains merchandise and may be opened for customs inspection. If you send used clothing to Ar gentina, be sure it is accompanied oy a notarized statement that it lias been disinfected. Send no tobacco whatsoever to Spain, because it's a government monopoly. At the present time, gift parcels of foodstuffs, including candy and chewing gum, discarded clothing consumable medical supplies and soap are exempt from payment of duty under the relief package agreement concluded between the United Kingdom and the U. S. The Commerce Department in dicates that just about every country in the world has some kind of regulation governing the importation of gift packages, and the best way to avoid delays and possible complications at the other end is to obtain a copy of the reg ulations itself at the Portland of fice located at 217 Pioneer Post Office. 520 S. W. Morrison Street. There is a 10-cent charge for each country leaflet on "sending gift packages. In addition, this country has reg ulations, too, on the subject of ex- portations to other countries which are covered in the leaflet entitled "Sending Gift Packages to Foreign Countries Summary of U.
