The interests of politics has been placed on top of the heap, and the interests of the people of Oregon on the bottom. The Legislature is attempting to move swiftly enough that Gov. Mark Hatfield will not have a chance to get his budget plans into effect until two years from now Acting with unusual speed, the Legislature has already sent most of the budget message ot cx-uov ernor Holmes to committee, and called up hearings on some of them, almost a month ahead of usual activity. If the Holmes tax program is adopted, it would leave the edu cational building program destl tute. The Holmes budget called for 2.3 million dollars, almost all of which is for a research center at the University Medical School in Portland. While this type of balanced budget Is commendable, It Is somewhat unrealistic. The budget which Governor Hat field indicated he would send to the Legislature by February 15 would be the same total as that of Holmes, namely 299 million dol lars. However, his budget would pro. vide another 10 million dollars for educational building funds. This would bo accomplished by prun ing other stale budget appropria lions. Hatfield expressed the opinion that the Legislature might pass the Holmes tax program before his program is ready. "Something has to be done about buildings because of the dire need for them," Hatfield said. When asked whether he favored the Holmes recommendation of a building program financed by bonds, he said, "That has to be considered as one of the possibili ties, but I'm not ready to accept it as the only answer. Sig Unander has grave reservations as to how such a bond issue might adversely affect the state's credit." All in all, it appears that while legislative speed is commendable, it certainly is also highly com mendable to carefully consider the state's finances, rather than hurry along an unrealistic program just to prevent a new governor from getting his program Irto effect. It Is undoubtedly coincidence, but while the Legislature appears to be doing Its best to push through the program of an out going governor, Ignoring the In coming one, some of Its members are also trying not only to tic the hands of the governor, but ac tually unseat him. Sen. Waller Pearson has slated he still challenges the right of Hatfield to be governor. In the event this challenge iould be up held, then Holmes would continue to be governor, or failing that Pearson would succeed lo the chair. Also, the altorney general has delayed bringing his suit before the Supreme Court testing Hat field's appointment of Appling as secrclary ol slate. The delay has resulted in stale funds being held up, and the functions of the secretary of state's otflec are all standing still waiting for this suit to be ruled on by the courts. A suit thai they still have not re ceived from Attorney General Thornton. II would almost seem like a gi gantic effort on the part of the Democratic leaders to thwart Hat field's position as (ovrrnor and circumvent his power. I don't think this is what the people wanted when they elected Hatfield governor. H,' promised he would bring economy to govern mcnt, and this approach of cut ting down unrealistic budgets to make room for necessary improve ments would certainly seem to b' an earnest attempt to live up to those promises. On the other side ot the political fence, while the Republicans are In the minority, they have the whip hand in the inal analysis strange as it may seem. If a law is passed or a pro gram approved by the Legislature that Hatfield vetoes, the Demo cratic portion of the Legislature does not have the necessary Iwn thirds majority to pass it over that veto. However, I hope Ihc Republicans will refrain from making the two ring circus a three-ring affair, and use such veto power only il ab solutely necessary and only on ihc vitally Important matters. Again, as usual, the Inlerenti and wishes of the people are gel ting the bottom of the deck ha.v dllng. riMM'ways By BOB CHANDLER Editor of the Bend Bulletin LOS ANGELES Ever been on a freeway? No, not a little freeway like the one between Portland and Salem. That's a mere pipsqueak as major freeways go. We mean a big ireeway, like Ihe Hollywood freeway into the downtown section of Los Angeles, or the Santa Ana freeway lead ing southwest from Ihe city's center. There, brother, are a pair of freeways what am ireeways. Driving on one of them, par ticularly if you are tourists tooling along in the big red bus, is like getting on a roller coaster You go up and down. Then you curve to the left, now to the right. Traffic sneaks on from various cross-town points. And other traf fic leaves, as silently as it came which is really not too silently. Everyone drives along at a nice. steady 55-60 miles per hour. If you go any slower, and a iourht is inclined to do so, horns toot loudly. If looks could kill you might as well call It a day. Almst all freeways in this area have come in Ihe past 10 years or so. The freeways are caused by Ihe huge numbers of autos which must for some reason or other make their way into and out of the downtown section of Los An geles each and every day. As soon as a new freeway is built drivers begin lo tell each other about it. Made it in from Cucamunga in record lime this morning," one notes at lunch. "Took the new free way, then cut over to Spring and here I was." So the other fellow, who has been riding a train or a bus for lo. these many years, tries the free way for a few days. He likes it. Then he starts to drive his car, and gives up the train or bus. And pretty soon ihcy need an other new freeway, This might sound like freeways are no good. But they are. They take you quickly through the downtown section of Los An gclcs, which is not very nice to look at, anyway, in a big hurry It might take you three hours or longer to drive from North Holly wood, for example, to Anaheim, off Ihe freeway. On the freeway you can make it in an hour. The wear and tear on the car's brakes, clutch, transmission and differential is cut tremendously To say nothing of the wear and tear on the driver. are promised a great show that Buck has lined up. The fight of the Little Leaguers (or their park, and the right to play, reminds this writer of the little ballplayers in Britain dur ing the blitz of World War II From the little players (soccer, rugby and cricket) on up to their big pro leagues with their giant stadiums, all were engaged in - constant fight with lack of trans portation, never knowning if their field would be turned to a sham bles come tomorrow, and the knowledge that sometimes their players would no longer be 'around on the day ol the game. There, too, there always seemed to be a "Whiskers" to holler the British version of, "Get a field and play ball." The band of small fry in Klam ath Falls is determined to bring us big Little League play, and this character looks forward to great times ahead. Little League is more than just a game for the kids, it is a wonderful thing (or the community fortunate enough to have it. Even in last year's tern porary setup, people .of the Basin found new interests, new friends, cemented old friendships, and found a place to let off steam at some of the mosl spirited contests that it has been my lot to see. It is often stressed that programs like Little League are a deterrent lo juvenile delinquency, and with this I have no argument, but I cannot help but think that getting crowds of us grownups out to the games might be good for adult delinquency. Summed up, Little League is worthwhile. Worthy of the full backing of the commiinity that is fortunate enough to have it as a part of its everyday life. Call it, if you will, a great game for tho kids, as I see it, it's a great game for me. ' Bert Smith 522 South Sixth Street Liillu League Klamath Falls (To Ihe Editor) The fight being waged by Klam ath Falls Little League for a place in Ihe sun. and its own ballpark, is something that has caught the fancy of all of us, and Ihe old time sport fans in particular. Led by Wayne "Whiskers ' Scott, Gene Favell and Frank Rickey, Ihe Lit tic Leaguers are determined to make their way to Ihe top of the local sport picture. Rumors have it that 1959 could bring the start of Ihc dream ballpark, and if this is so, great would be Ihe rejoicing at the home of "Whiskers" Scott that gent having sworn to double for Santa Claus until the first spadeful is turned. Meanwhile Mrs. Whiskers is said to be gettin a little tired of having the elderly gent around. Support tor this ambitious pro gram received a great boost re ccntly. when Buck Davidson, the well known boxing and wrestling promoter, got on the band wagon and announced a big January 2'. boxing show at the 'ocal arena with the entire proceeds to Little League. Davidson is devoting a great deal lo this effort, and local fans Thanks Klamath Falls (To the Editor) The Kurbstone Kowpokes wish to thank those .people who so gen erously filled the Christmas bar rels with clothes and toys. . These gifts were distributed by the Salvation Army, and many people who expected a sad Christ mas had a happy one. This is true Christmas spirit, and we hope that your generosity made your own Christmas bright er. Bob Wilson, Tophand Good Way To Bet From the Redding Searchlight Betting on the horse races can be a profitable venture, it seems, provided: 1. You have a smart wife; and 2. You leave Ihe details to her Wilbur DuBois, secretary of the securities and exchange commi: sion, tells of one instance. A woman went to her bank and asked to borrow $3,000 to buy a car. The loan officer looked up her record and found she had $3,000 In a savings account. "Why don't you lake that money and buy your car" he asked. "It would save you paying interest." "I can't do that," said the wom an. "My husband doesn't know I have the money." "What do you mean?" asked the loan officer doubtfully. "My husband likes lo play the horses," she explained. "Every day he looks over the form sheet picks a horse and gives me two dollars to call the bookie and place the bet. "I don't call Ihe bookie." Ihc woman went on. "I just keep th" two dollars. If one ol his horses wins, I pay off at ihe track fig ures. But so far I'm $3,000 ahead." Now. isn't that a nice little fam ily nestegg that's building up, at! of it from bels on the nags? Tax Hope By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (Aim i - Hope for lower taxes burns bright today even though all signs point to higher taxes instead. President Eisenhower has re vived the hope and tied it with his fight to keep the dollar from deteriorating further in purchas ing power. He says that if prices can be held fairly stable, the govern ment will have a better chance of balancing its budget. That is, if the government doesn't have to spend more for the goods and services it needs, its income from tax collections will have a chance to equal its outgo. On that happy day reforms in the tax structure would be possible. Taxes and inflation are linked in more ways than this. To most of us inflation simply means that our income doesn't buy as much as it once did. To the monetary expert inflation means that the supply of money and credit is expanded beyond the demand for goods. The Treasury has just sold 2'k billion dollars worth of short term notes, mostly to the banks. Since these are regarded as. the near est approach to greenbacks them selves, the supply of money avail able to the economy is increased by that amount. The President would like ro ward off a new spurt of inflation But the Treasury has to keen coming to the money market to raise new funds to meet the defi cit that government spending 's running up. Money managers themselves have this constantly increasing supply of funds to do battle with in their attempts to hold down in flationary pressures. If the fight can he won, what tax relief is planned The President says he has the Treasury Department working on this now. The reforms under considera tion at this time seem to apply mostly to business. Their effects could be felt all the way down lo the consumer. One thing proposed is a change in the excise taxes. These are a form of sales tax now levied on a few things. One proposal is lo cut the rates on such taxes but to make up the lost revenue by adding a number of other goods to the tax list. Business still has hopes that the 52 per cent levy on corporate prof its will be lowered to 50 per cent. Depreciation allowances also are close to the hearts of business men.

(UPI)-Gen-, eral of the Army George Catlett Marshall, victim of a "mild stroke," was reported in "satisfac tory" condition today at the Army s Womack General Hospital here. A complete medical report on the 78-year - old retired soldier- statesman was expected later. Marshall, the only non West Pointer ever to reach five - star army rank, suffered the stroke Thursday morning at his winter home at nearby Pinehurst, N. C, and was rushed by ambulance to the new, multi-million dollar, nine story hospital here. Col. George W. Powell, chief of medicine at the hospital and one of the doctors who treated Presi dent Eisenhower following h i s heart attack, described Marshall's stroke as "transitory" and said there was no paralysis. Dr. Henry D. Mcintosh of Duke University Medical School, a spe cialist in circulatory diseases, ex amined Marshall Thursday night Polar Sub Chief Has Difficulty PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Cmdr. James F. Calvert had more trouble navigating in Providence Thursday night than he did under the North Pole last summer. Cmdr.

"I found it more difficult navi gating in Providence than at the Pole, he told members on Ms arrival. HUNGRY THEIVES NEW CASTLE, Ind. (UPI) - Thieves who broke into Cadiz High School Thursday night ig nored money in coin-operated ma chines, but consumed 27 contain ers of, chocolate milk, 10 dozen eggs and 20 pounds of sausage. and concurred in Powell's diagno- s. Powell said Mcintosh is one of several consultants used by the hospital here and that there was nothing unusual about calling him in on the case. Powell said he did not anticipate moving Marshall and that he did not know how long Marshall would be in the hospital here. He declined to answer questions regarding Marshall's condition other than to say he was "satis factory at this time." He would not say whether Marshall was conscious. A full-time nurse was assigned to the case and Powell said that schedules had been arranged to keep a nurse on duty with Mar shall at all limes. The World War II Army chief of staff and former secretary of state and secretary of defense was installed m a three-room suite on the top floor of the hospital. Mrs. Marshall moved into a hos pital room across the hall from the suite. Since his retirement as secre tary of defense in 1951, the win ner of the 1953 Nobel Peace Prize has divided his time between his farm at Leesburg, Va., and his winter home at Pinehurst. Marshall has been confined to his bed most of the time since undergoing an operation last sum mer at the Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington. WHAT'S THE RUSH?
