TV 4-4752 ftfal SM'iiIiii By FLOYD L. WYNNE The stale budget lor 1H50-M) is going to he higher. That fact was the first one brought lo city officials during the recent League of Oregon Cities convent ion in Eugene. The three day session was in valuable to city officials in many ways. It was an excellent oppor tunity to swap information on mu tual city problems, projects and methods being used around the stale. The problems ranged from off trcel parking to handling of fran chise taxes with such items as taxes, urban renewal, sewage la ciljties. governmental cooperation, population trends, traffic laws and m?ny others in-between. The opening session Monday brought out the lact that state spending must, of necessity, be higher during the next biennium. John Richardson, director. Stale Department of Finance and Ad ministration, led olf by pointing out that some increases in the budget were inevitable. The recent in crease in per pupil assessment for Schools alone will add some 12 mil lion to the budget. Operating costs. he said, 'will add another 8 million He would give no prediction on the amount of the general fund budget, but stated that an increase would be mandatory. ' S. W. Horn of the Slale Tax Commission found little response to his biting sarcasm on the sub ject of taxes and newspapers. lie spoke of a si range atmos phere in Oregon regarding taxes." "It is diflicult," he said, "lo talk sense when It comes lo taxes." In a cold, impersonal manner, he was probably correct, but some where down the line he appeared to have forgotten that he was in the position of a public servant. He somewhat belittled the inlcl ligencc ol the taxpayers by inti mating they neither understood the need for taxes, nor knew what they were used for. He consistently reteircd to folk lore in regard to taxes. He took the occasion In accuse the press of misipioling him, only to reaffirm the reportedly mis quoted statement a few moments later? Horn appeared to he a man who may be somewhat unsympathetic with any attempts to reduce the tax load. Senator Pearson gave a very comprehensive summary of the work of the Legislative Interim Tax Committee, pointing out it was composed of six Democrats and five Republicans. lie .slated that this committee's report and the final Sly Report would lie very similar. Speaking of the upcoming Leg lalure. Pearson said. "I don't see any spending spree by the Legi lature. I feel they'll be inclined to go along with the same pro gram as now. Some increases can not he avoided, but if they stay within a reasonable range, there should be no increase in income taxes." Another point in the tax struc ture was emphasized when Port, land's mayor. Terry Schruiik, sug gested that Oregon and the led eral government return a small percentage ol Hie income taxes collected within a city to that city for Us administrative use. Local government is the most economically-run government, he Said, anil some ol the services be ing done by the stale and Irderal government could then he trans ferred to the nolo efficient level of the city. Taxes, however, were only one Of thp multitude of subjects given comprehensive study at the meet ing.

Some of their own government officials had a bright idea. They tried lo persuade the tribal chiefs that being important people they should not walk; they should ride bicycles. They figured that when the common people saw how the important duels rode bikes. Ihcy would want bikes. Then they would have lo have money to buy the bikes and a modern economy would be on the way. The problem was where would the tribesmen get the money. Sell their cattle. That seemed a sim ple answer. But the tribesmen. like some of our old hardnosed Oregon cattle kings, wouldn't sell their cattle. Cattle represented so cial importance. The more cattle Ihe higher up Ihe social ladder you were. Then. loo. cattle could be trad ed for wives. The more wives you had Ihe more important fellow you were. Not like here where it ei ther puts you, in jail or the poor house.

Happy birthday, Frances. By JAMES W. DOUTHAT WASHINGTON - Conservative members of Congress are deeply disturbed by the efforts of so called "liberals" lo halt Vice Pres ident Nixon's march toward the White House. The conservatives contend that the nation's future industrial growth would be jeopardized if the New-Fair Dealers 'gain undisputed control of both major political par ties. They (ear that such control i for a lime, at least i would be the inevitable result of a success ful anti-Nixon campaign. They rea son as follows: Mr. Nixon, generally regarded as a conservative, is the front runner at the present time in the race for the Republican Presiden tial nomination. If he were shoved aside, it would he almost a certainty that the next occupant of the W hite House would he far more inclined toward New Fair dealism than toward conser vatism. If this developed, another Con grqss likely would be elected which would enact the New-Fair Deal pro gram into the law of Ihe land. The New-Fair Deal program would result in vastly increased spending, in more rigid controls over business and industry, and is a bigger and bigger federal bu reaucracy in Washington lo regu late the lives of the people. This reasoning, of c o u r s c. in volves a number of "its. But it represents the thinking of the con servatives at Ibis time. The contest between conserva tive Republicans and so-called "lib erals" is not new but Its poten tialities seem much greater than in previous days. It 'really is a continuation of the rivalry between supporters for the By Frank O'Neal Subscription Rates CARRIER I MONTH . 1.50 MONTHS $ 9.00 I YEAR IIS 00 MAIL I MONTH $ 1.50 6 MONTHS 8.50 1 YEAR 115.00 presidency of Robert A. Talt and Thomas E. Dewey and later, o( Mr. Talt and Dwight D. Eisen hower. Mr. Talt lost out lo Mr. Dewey, who was twice defeated for the Presidency, and to Mr. Eisenhovv er, who was elected president in 1952 and reelected in 1956. A Re publican Congress iwith a bare majority) was elected along with Mr. Eisenhower in 1952. But in 1954, and 1958, and 1953 Democrat ic congresses were sent to Wash ington. Republican conservatives con tend that a leaning of a number of ;Pa,''y members toward New-Fair Dealism was responsible in consid crable measure for the loss of Con gross in the three latest elections They argue that the voters thus had no clear-cut choice in many contests between conservatives and so-called "liberals." Aclually, they point out, there really are four par tics at the present time: Conserv ative Democrats, New-Fair Deal Democrats, conservative Re publicans and New-Fair Deal Re publicans. There is considerable support for a realignment of these four groups into two: Conservatives and New Fair Dealers by whatever name they might be called'. Conservatives point out that strong support for such a division might be stimulated by the elec tion lo the White House of an out-and-out New-Fair Dealer. But. as of now, Ihcy want a con servative elected lo the White House in 19(11). And supporters of Vice President Nixon naturally are concerned at what they deem un warranted attacks upon their can didate. There is no question that this con troversy is at the top of the list of current Washington develop ments. Its outcome will be watched avidly by millions ot vot ers. Itiibblinii World By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON AP)-Oulward-ly the world seems not too turbu lent but it's bubbling. Washington can't he sure where or when it will bubble over For instance, Ihe Eisenhower administration appears to be tak ing a calm view of Ihe Russiai effort lo force Ihe Western Allies out of Berlin. This hasn't reached a crisis stage yet. Maybe it never will. But.it could happen sudden ly- Iran, with which this country is trying to negotiate a defense agreement, lies along the Soviet Union's southern border. Premier Khrushchev has warned Iran against signing. Trouble may pop there. Iraq had been linked in a de fense alliance with Iran with U.S. backing but without any for mal military agreement. Then a revolt by Iraqi army officers slew Ihe Iraqi king. This month administration offi cials expressed alarm over what they regard as a marked increase in Communist influence among backers of the new revolutionary regime in Iraq. Something simi lar could happen in Iran. While the excitement over the Red Chinese bombardment ol Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist troops on the offshore island ot Qucmoy has quieted aown a bit the shooting is not ended. No one in Washington is in a position to predict what comes next. .Meanwhile, one government alt er another has come under the thumb of military men in recent months. This has happened besides Iraq in the Sudan, in Pakistan, in Burma, in Thailand. Earlier the military threw out King Far ouk of Egypt which is now under an army man. President Nasser The military leaders mav at the moment be giving their countries an appearance of calm or even stability. But what the Eisenhow er administration doesn't know, and can't even guess about, is what comes alter the military men. or what turn they'll take. Its possible the military will hold power in these various places for years. But if not. who suc ceeds them: Communists. Com munist sympathizers. anti-Western forces, or men anxious to plav friendly with Russia and cold to the West? Military men are in control tn several Latin American countries, too.
