Chicago Trip
PENETANGU1SHKNE, Ontario
AP Queen Elizabeth II Saturday
Wound up her tour of Western On
tario and tailed for Chicago where
noisy reception awaits her ir
m windy City.
The young British monarch wa:
reported to be nervous about hei
appearance Monday in the metro
polis of the American Midwest.
People close to Elizabeth sail
'she always gets butterflies" or
the eve of the program in a big
city, especially on foreign soil.
Now she's going to a city once
reputed to be the citadel of isola
tlomsta sentiment in the United
States.
- Jt was not so long ago that Chi
cagos then mayor, Big Bill
Thompson, in political campaign
speeches threatened to punch Eliz
abeth' grandfather King George
V "on the snoot.
The Midwest has changed since
those days in the 1920s but the
Queen still feels uneasy about this
big moment of her six-week tour
Of Canada and the United States.
Reports of feverish preparations
In Chicago have reached the royal
yacht Britannia which will take
her across Lake Michigan. It is
due to dock in Chicago at 10 a m
Monday.
Except for a few moments on
the American side with President
, Eisenhower a week ago in cere
monies dedicating the St. Lawr
ence Seaway this will be the
Queen's only day on U.S. soil
Meanwhile, the Queen and her
husband, Prince Philip travel
ling through cities, small towns
and even hamlets are scoring
i a big success in their Canadian
tour.
Where towns are too small to
. warrant a complete hall the royal
train slows to a crawl. A tech
nician riding in the locomotive
alerts the royal couple with a buz
zer when a crowd is spotted
ahead,
The Queen and Philip come out
to a rear platform to answer the
cheers with waves and smiles.
The royal party boarded the
Britannia Saturday night for a
cruise of Lakes Huron and Michi

miles on a dusty country road,
with a nurse-drawn vehicle about
every 25 yards and the gay young
blades with their top buggies and
'heir three-minute trotters weav.
ing in and out and trying to GET
AHEAD through the choking
clouds of dust, you just haven't
:een traffic jams. ,
"But." you say
"You're talking about the DIS
:O.MFORTS of slow, crawling
traffic on dusty, bumpy country
roads and streets.
"What about the DANGERS?
"What about the crippling in'
juries?
"What about the DEATHS?"
Did you ever see a runaway?
Especially a runaway on the
jam-packed public square of
county seat town on a Fourth of
July with the street
full of men, women and CHIL
DREN ... the fear-maddened
horses tearing through the crowd
people screaming as they
struggled to get out of the way
...... maybe some young
hero making a death-defying dive
at the horses' bits in an effort to
pull them down . . . sometimes
going down himself under the iron-
shod hoofs or the iron tires.
If you've never seen that, you
don't know what excitement is .
and often serious, crippling Injury
. . . . and, sometimes, DEATH.
There was hazard on the high
ways then.
A thought In closing:
Suppose our population had
grown as it has grown.
Suppose the automobile had nev
er been invented.
Suppose that on this Fourth of
July weekcrid that will come to a
close tonight there had been 43
MILLION horse-drawn vehicles -varying
all the way Trom team
drawn spring wagons to red
wheeled, rubber - tired buggies
drawn by fancy trotters on our
highways.
In that event, there would have
been a lot of traffic fatalities
maybe as many as 3S0.
49-Star Flag
(Continued from Page 1)
then was to go to Alaska, the state
represented by the 49th star.
This B-by-12 foot banner was
hauled aloft exactly at 12:01 a.m.
It was hoisted by two. policemen,
one of whom just happened to be
Stephen Deburr, from Anchorage
Alaska. The other was James
Doak, McAlester, Okla.
As the flag went up on the big
pole on the roof of the west Cap
itol front, a cheer went up.
A short time later another flag
was hauled aloft on the perma
nent pole on the cast front.
The big activity was around the
four temporary poles.
Each flag fluttered just enough
to bear out that it was flown over
Capitol on July 4, 1959.
Policemen worked until their
arms grew tired and then were
relieved by others.
The architect provides Capitol-
flown flags only on request of sen
ators and representatives. They
cost the members or the con
stituents $3.50 or $6.50, depend
ing on the size.
Hundreds of individuals wrote in
directly asking for flags. Most of
them sent checks or money. These
direct requests and money all are
being returned.
Many of the flags will go to Boy
Scout troops, schools and various
organizations.
And, moaned one of the cops:
"We'll have to do it all over again
next year when the 50-star flag
becomes official.
There was no Sunday in China
SO years ago. Now they observe
ione day of the week as a day of
I rest.

Chairman
HOW MUCH do you think your property Is worth? That's the key to the assessment cards
mailed to I 1,250 taxpayers last week, to find out what the assessor thinks your property
is worth, multiply the final figure on the card ($2,000 here) by five. In this case, the
property would be worth $10,000. If you think the result is too high, you may appeal to
thr Toard of Equalization by July 7, and the assessor's office will help you. If you still
aren't satisfied, you may send your appeal to the State Tax Commission.

Some Tax Increases Likely.
But Most To Be Unchanged
By TOM STIMMEL
The "early Christmas cards'
mailed by the assessor's office to
11,250 taxpayers last week were
explained in some detail Friday
by State Tax Commissioner Char
ley Mack. '
Mack, a former Klamath County
judge well acquainted with tax and
assessment problems here, said no
tices of higher assessments do not
necessarily mean higher taxes.
Values of many properties were
raised 30 per cent above levels
last year. No home in the county
was left without a raise.
"Some homes will have a 30 per
Ike Lays Cornerstone
(Continued from Page 1)
"Its preservation is a many
sided and never-ending task," he
said. "Complacency today speeds
the erosion of liberty tomorrow,
Inertia will destroy it; dynamic
dedication assures its lasting vi
tality."
From the stands where he spoke
Eisenhower descended into a pit
like arena where workmen had
spread mortar on the concrete
foundation in preparation for low-
ering of the huge stone into its
resting place.
Eisenhower was given the small
original trowel with which George
Washington had laid the Capitol's
first cornerstone on Sept. 18, 1793.
Dipping into the mortar, the
President spread some of it on
the foundation. A crane lowered
the stone in place.
Then Reuben A. Bogley Jr.,
grand master of the District of
Columbia Grand Lodge of Masons,
handed Eisenhower a gavel which
had been used by President Wash
ington. Placing his hand on the corner
stone, Eisenhower tapped it light
ly with the gavel so as not to
scratch or mar the historic instru
ment.
Immediately after he completed
these rites, the President left.

cent increase in taxes because
they were 30 per cent low," Mack
told the Klamath Falls Rotary
Club, "but otherwise I don't think
you'll find much change."
The commissioner explained thai
exactly how taxes will come out
after so much change in assess
ment valuations is hard to s a y
now. But he emphasized that ev
erybody's assessment went up. The
county budget is lower, so general
ly taxes will remain the same as
last year, or lower.
But the final answer comes in
November when tax bills come
out.
The hows and whys of the as
sessment increases were detailed
by Mack and Dean Ellis, chair
man of the state tax commission.
Their remarks kept Rotarians in
terested for more than an hour.
Mack said the county board of
equalization realized three years
ago that sizable inequities existed
among county property assess
ments. New homes were being
built, and appraised face value,
but other homes had not been re-
appraised for years.
'They were not on a comparable
status with other property," he
said, "so a ratio study was need
ed."
The board undertook the study,
relying in part on reports of actual
sales from realtors. With these
data, the board recommended last
December )S that the county prop
erty tax ratio be raised to 20 per
cent.
This, Mack said, would have
raised property values 30.7 per
cent across the board. But the as
sessor imposed a blanket 17 per
cent increase on all property.
Theq came Hot Springs property
owners with complaints from many
of 476 on-the-spot appraisals made
last year. The property owners
did not maintain that their apprais
als were too high; they maintained
that they were out of line with
other appraised values.
So the state tax commission and
the board of equalization got into
the matter further, and finally the
state tax commission recommend
ednot ordered, Mack said a
general raise of 30 per cent, not
17 per cent. Just what they rec
ommended before.
So, with the exception of proper
ty appraised this year and last,
the 30 per cent increase goes into
effect.
Because it is virtually a blanket
increase, the effect on tax bills
may be minor. Some taxes may
go up because they have been too
low for as many as six or seven
years, but generally tax bills
should be about the same.
Mack was introduced by County
Commissioner Frank Ganong, a
Rotarian who spoke first of the
"early Christmas cards." Mack in
troduced Ellis, also a realitively
new member of the commission.
