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.
Considerable pressure was ex
erted on the last legislature to
separate tne parks department

On Mail Listed
If you are sending gift pack
ages abroad this year, Klamath
rails Postmaster C. 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

In New York, O'Connor points
out, 90 per cent of all Mnrrh
of Dimes patient care money dur

only of the total was spent on
acute polio. O'Connor exoresspd
confidence in Stoddard's continued
leadership.
Stoddard is a native Oregonian
