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

ministration, led olf by pointing out
that some increases in the budget
were inevitable. The recent in
crease in per pupil assessment for

He would give no prediction on
the amount of the general fund

would be mandatory.

Commission found little response

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

percentage ol Hie income taxes

Some of their own government

tried lo persuade the tribal chiefs
that being important people they
should not walk; they should ride

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

Oregon cattle kings, wouldn't sell

Well, a birthday isn't really
such a dreadlul thing. Everybody
knows the importance of social

My wife isn't unaware ot Ihe

would accept an invitation lo

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.

rivalry between supporters for the

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
