Wildlife
By BILL JENKINS
It seems as if it must have been
a long time ago but I think it'
was only last week that I found a
sunny afternoon and drove across
the slate line road lor a periodic
checkup.
.Saw very few ducks or geese
only a few bands in the air, but
the nheasants were having a fine
time of it alongside the road
From the turnoif on Highway 97
to the Merrill turnoff 1 counted
. 21 roosters and I don't know how
many hens. Big, bright birds slwv
inc in the sun.
r All the roadside ponds frozen
over solid, of course. At least half
a dozen bald eagles sitting around
on the ice waiting for a duck to
give up the ghost so they could
have dinner.
Then just a couple of days ago
during a wet snow storm I hap
pened to drive past a stubble field
near Wocus that was burning
along the edge of the highway,
Right in the smoke and creeping
flame was another big rooster
pheasant calmly picking up the
kernels of grain and warming his
feet at the same time.
Looked like he was well content
with his lot in life.
Reports growing In number of
Itarlrng invasions in various parts
of the community. Have seen a
few of the loathsome little bird?
here and there myself.
: Let us hope that they don't get
a toehold in our community. I've
eeen a few places that had 'cm
and know that we don't want any
part of them.
Went out cast of here a few
miles the other Sunday for a crack
at the rabbits.
I guess we weren't the first in
the area. The rabbits, both jacks
and occasional cottontails were
wild and spooky.
Jacks in particular were flushing
fitly yards and more ahead of us
and then, keeping going at high
speed until they crossed the near
est ridge.
', Usually they will run la ways
and then squat and take la look
see. Which is (lie deadly time
to get your bead and let 'cm
have it. But not these long cared
fellows. They Just laid those old
ears back and left tracks, about
twelve feet apart as they raced
out of sight.
' A real sporting target as they
flashed through the sagebrush. My
personal score on rabbits was low
but I sure blew some pretty holes
In the atmosphere.
The whole Lost River area was
full of feeding ducks. Mostly widg
eon. Fields were covered with
them and big flocks kept wheel
ing around in' the air.
1 wonder if the theory that a
duck's feet get cold in the snow
and that he gels up to fly around
and warm them up isn't true?
It sure looks like it when you
watch them feed across a snow
filled field.
; Saw one big jack sitting under
I juniper up on the brow of a long
hill. As we watched a big hawk
made a violent pass at him but
niiFsed. The rabbit moved a lew
feet, sat up and the hawk made
another pass and missed again
Or quit. Then the rabbit gave up
and roared off the hill in a cloud
of snow.
Such are the rewards of a win
ter hunting trip.
JURISDICTION of the board
stems from both the city council
and the county court. This is be
cause the building was constructed
jointly by both bodies.
At present, both governing bod
ics appropriate $1,500 each year
toward operation of the facility. In
recent years, the appropriation
has exceeded that amount on sev
eral occasions to take care of
needed repairs.
However, operation of the Klam
ath Auditorium rests solely in the
hands of this board. They have
neither the funds nor the authori
ty to launch a wide campaign for
more use of the facility, but do
process all requests for the build
ing that come before , them.
DURING THE FISCAL YEAR
of July, 1958, through June, 1959,
the Armory Board took in $3,815.40
in fees from operation of this
building.
They have indicated that they
are willing to take part in an cf
fort to generate more use of the
building, particularly for recrea
tional purposes. A plan is under
way to convert the auditorium into
a veritable community recreation
center.
This will require the extreme
cooperation of all concerned.
The Armory Board's guidance
of such a program is essential, and
extremely necessary since t h c
facility is jointly owned by city
and county.
However, with cooperation the
projected recreation program can
progress and become a reality,
something badly needed in the
community.
Armory Hoard
By FLOYD L. WYNNE
Some clarification seems in or
der as to the position of the Ar
mory Board in reference to the
operation of the Klamath Auditori
um.
In a recent statement, George
Price, Park and Recreation Di
rector, said the auditorium was
used only on 30 or 35 nights of the
year.
In some quarters this was taken
as a reflection on the Armory
Board.
, First of all. the auditorium was
used more than 30 to 35 nights,
and secondly the Armory Board
has nothing to do with how many
nights the facility is employed.
THE ARMORY BOARD consists
of five members. Two of the mem
bers are appointed by the city
council, two by the county court
and those four in turn appoint a
fifth member.
, At present, the board is com
posed of city Councilman Oliver
Spiker, and Fred lleilbronner,
appointed by the city; Hal Ogle
and Fred Hoagland, appointed by
the county.
i J. C. Rcnie. a filth member of
the board resigned recently, and
a successor has not yet been ap
pointed by the lour board mem
bers. ,
; Ted Case is secretary for the
board.
Income Tax
By FLORENCE JENKINS
It's that time again.
A. G. Erickson, director of the
Oregon District of the Internal
Revenue Service, at Portland, is
reminding employers and employes
of the importance of attaching the
W-2 withholding certificates to the
1959 federal income tax returns.
The law states that employers
are to furnish all employes with
these certificates by January 31
The W-2 withholding certificates
are to be. attached to Form 1040
(the short one), or 1040W when
filing.
Most householders have received
the 16-page instruction pamphlet
from the U.S. , Treasury Depart
ment's district office of the In
ternal Revenue Service. The pam
phlet includes Tax Return Form
1!I40, Capital Gains Schedules and
Estimated Tax Form for 1960, plus
detailed instructions for the pro
per preparation and filing of the
eturn.
The April 15 deadlino still is in
effect, but Mr. Erickson states
that early filing will prove advan
tageous both to the taxpayers and
his department.
He urges employes to prepare
their returns as soon as they re
ceive their withholding certificates
and to file them as soon as pos
sible thereafter.
He also reminds employes who
have worked for more than one
employer during 1959 that all of
the W-2 forms they received dur
ing the year must be included with
the 1959 income tax return.
Every self-employed individual
must file an annual return of his
self-employment income on Form
1U40 if lie has at least $400 of net
earnings from self-employment in
his taxable year. This is true,
even If he did not make sufficient
income to require the filing of an
income tax return or is already
receiving social security benefits.
We note that more and more
companies which pay dividends
on comuion stock arc mailing re
ports on dividends paid during 1959
with the notation that these
dividends are taxable income for
the year.
Lotteries may be against the
law, but winnings are subject to
income tax.
The year 1959 went down in his
tory as one more year in which
we didn t win even a single foot
ball pool. If the law of averages
ever catches up with that situa
tion, which the old saw insists it
will, then so will the Internal
Revenue Service.
IKiifOrmilk
By MERI1IMAN SMITH
UPI White House Reporter
WASHINGTON (UPI)
Backstairs at the White House:
This, inspector, is the case of
the "hot" buttermilk, or as we
say. downtown, the classy clabber.
It reached all the way inside
the White House before the neigh
borhood pusher ran out of sup
plies.
We've had these cases before,
inspector. You know how it is a
man gets to be 60 or so and be.
gins to think of his youth and
someone comes along with a gim
mick to make him feel young
again monkey glands, vitamin
pjils, all that jazz.
In this case, the magic stuff
was buttermilk, pure and simple
buttermilk. With hormones, Male
hormones.
As near as our agents can de
termine, this business started at
a cabinet meeting with President
Eisenhower sitting up there just
is big as you please.
One of the cabinet members got
to whispering with another fellow
one end of the room. The
ulher fellow was one of the Pres
ident's chief assistants. The as
sistant, it seems, said how well
the cabinet member looked.
'Buttermilk," said the cabinet
mtmber. "That's what did it."
Something was said about hor
mones; that this particular milk
was simply loaded with the stuff
to make a man feel like himself
again.
Our case switches now to the
supplier, a pleasant little man
who was minding his own busi
ness selling over-priced groceries
to bigshots in a little rare foods
emporium not far from the White
House. Among his choice items
was buttermilk from a small
dairy.
The next thing the storekeeper
knew, there was a long line of
black limousines purring up to the
curb, uniformed men sliding in
side to ask for a couple of quarts
of "that" buttermilk. Without a
limousine to serve as credentials,
it was possible to get the magic
elixir simply by mentioning the
name of the cabinet member in
a properly hushed, speakeasy type
voice.
Inspector, the thing turned into
boom. This supplier got to
where he was selling more butter
milk than cheese tidbits. One high
government official raced into his
store and demanded, as it were
t.i be saved.
There was even a system of
deliveries started at some of the
highest government offices in
town. The word of buttermilk with
hormones spread like fire in dry
leaves.
Then the case came to the
attention of this department. Let
tile neighborhood clabber pusher
te.ll his own story:
"I don't know what got into
those men. Hormones? Nuts. That
wtuld be against the law, putting
anything in milk that wasn't put
there naturally.
"There's absolutely nothing in
this buttermilk. Absolutely noth
ing: It was just plain old churned
buttermilk and somebody got to
ta'kuig about it.
"Those fellows bought me out
high and dry. I haven't been able
to get hold of a quart for days
Boy, while I had it, I sure sold
it. I have a waiting list now if I
ever get a supply again. You
want me to telephone the White
House if any comes in?"

Money Itcport
By SAM DAWSON
AP Business News Analyst
NEW YORK (API-Tighter or
easier money ahead? Better
chance of financing a new home
or other purchase or of borrowing
for your business deals? 1
President Eisenhower in his an
nual economic report to Congress
says more money should be avail
able for investment this year.
But many bankers are saying
that the demand for loans is grow
ing and money is so tight that an
increase in their interest charges
is overdue. They want the Federal
Reserve System, to take the first
step by hiking its discount rate,
or what it charges them when they
borrow from it.
The federal reserve is holding
its own counsel about that.
The U.S. Treasury has some
big refinancing to pull off next
month and so will be dealing with
lenders again. It isn't anxious to
see interest rates rise.
But, like the President, the
Treasury sees some easing ahead
in the money market. This is be
cause last year it had to raise
eight billisn dollars of new money.
To do so it competed actively with
everyone else who wanted to bor
row. This helped send interest
rates higher.
This year the Treasury hopes
to reverse that. Not only will it
be seeking no new money, except
for short periods, but even hopes
to be returning some two billion
dollars to the money market, cut
ting the federal debt by that much.
If President Eisenhower's hopes
of a budget surplus in the next
fiscal year are fulfilled, the Treas
ury will be cutting the debt further
and returning more money to the
market.
Bankers and financers of mort
gages say that will be all to the
good. But the immediate prospect,
they still contend, is for an in
creasing credit pinch as business
activity steps up, and perhaps
higher interest rates certainly no
declining ones.
The President's hopes for more
available investment money seem
based in great part on his belief
that incomes will soar this year,
making more savings possible.
He also wants Congress to help
by doing the three things he stress
es again in his economic message:
1. Keep spending down so there
will be a budget surplus. 2. Hold
tax rates where they are so that
the surplus can be used for cutting
the debt. 3. Take the shackles off
the Treasury so it can borrow in
whatever market seems best and
not, as now, be forced to hit only
the short-term market where great
demand has sent borrowing costs
soaring.
