KLAMATH COUNTY CHAMBER Of COMMERCE
What sliould provide the extra!
spark of interest is the fact that
members at the meetings will
be able to provide questions to
be asked regarding pending bills
and legislative plans. In addition,
a special loudspeaker arrange
ment will make it possible for
everyone at the meeting to hear
both sides of the conversation.
just as if the interview were be
ing conducted right in the room
If there were issues on the na
tiona) level of vital concern to
Klamath County there is no rea
son why the same arrangement
could not be worked out for in
terviews with members of Ore
gon's Congressional delegation.
The idea is an intriguing one,
and the applications of it in de
veloping information of immedi-
ate interest and concern to the
chamber and to Klamath County
are endless.
The mail received at the cham-j
ber office never fails to turn up
a surprise or two occasionally
One of the more fascinating let
ters to come in recently was
from a gentleman from the upper
Middle West who identified him
self only as Al.
Immediately under the saluta
tion of his letter. AI printed the
word DISPERSION. The
writer then went on to point out
that in these days of the threat
of atomic warfare, the sparsely
populated portions of Oregon pro
vide a marked degree of safety.
He then suggested that he was
offering us, without charge, an
idea to be used as a slogan on
all our advertising . . . "Klamath
Falls, a safe place to bring up
your family.
Without dwelling on the virtues,
or shortcomings of this idea as
a slogan on which to build a com
munity, the chances are most
people would be willing a slight
revision and make the slogan
read, "Klamath Falls, a good
place to bring up your family."
Over the past five years, the.
chamber has offered three excel
lent discussion courses in what
might be termed citizenship
training. Developed by the Cham
ber of Commerce of the United
States, and offered to local cham
bers as well as to other organ!
zations, businesses and industries,
the courses are: "The American

Eytninn Claims Hatfield Produced

"juggled figures to produce

Grazing use ot public lands in
the Paisley Unit ot the Bureau of
Land Management's Lakevicw
District will be adjudicated dur
ing December, BLM Slate, Direc
tor Russell E. Getty announced.
A range resource survey was re
cently completed on the Southern
Oregon unit, said Getty, and re
vealed the following facts on con
dition of the public range lands:
Range condition excellent zero
per cent; good one per cent; fair
35 per cent; poor 47 per cent, and
had .17 per cent.
Tlie resource survey conducted
by BLM range conservationists
turned up equally discouraging
facts about the trend of public
ange conditions in the Paisley
Unit.

A scries of meetings will be1
held with range users and BLM

this month to discuss adjudica

Getty.
Considering the entire Paisley
that in order to balance the
come and spending in the present
biennium, Hatfield has had to
"1. Ask for the return of a $5.5
million appropriation to the vet
erans affairs department made to
get that department s loan fund
stared.
. "2. Pad the tax commission's
estimate of income tax receipts
by $4 million.
"3. Pad State Treasurer Howard
Belton's inheritance tax estimates
by $2 million.
"4. Increase prices of liquor by
$500,000 in the last four months
of the biennium.
5. Try to cut back stale pro
grams by $1.7 million in the last
seven months of the biennium.
"This totals $13.7 million, less
$500,000 which Hatfield estimates
will be in the bank at the end of
the biennium if the savings are
achieved and if his padding of
revenue estimates does not lead
to disaster," Eymann said.
. "For the next biennium Hatfield

"He has our proposals. If he

said that the responsibility to
point the way was ducked, ft now
remains for the House and the
Senate to get together on how
they wish to meet their obliga

Never in Oregon history has a
governor sought to cover up defi
cits by such high handed manipu
lation of revenue and expenditure
figures, nor has any other gover

Salem the Official Abstract, show
ing that Senator Morse got 344.716
votes. That figures out at 51.9
cents per vote.
Sig Unander, Senator Morse's
opponent in the campaign, did a
little better. He spent $132,322.
and got 291,587 votes. His votes
cost him only 45.4 cents each.
The average for both the Morse
and the Unander campaigns fig
ures out at 49 cents per vote.
The political historians tell us
that in the sinful old days, back
in dens of iniquity such as Chica
go and Kansas City, where the
campaigns were run by political
machines governed by political
bosses, who didn't have to report
their expenditures, $1 a vote,
cash on the barrelhead at political
headquarters, was about the go
ing price although there were
wild tales that in close contests
the price might run as high as $2.
At least, we're doing better in
these modern days.-
Still
The fact that in the U.S. Sena
torial campaign in Oregon this
year nearly two and a half times
as much was spent as the Senato
rial job will pay in salary during
the entire Senatorial term of six
years is rather shocking, ft was
all perfectly legal and above-
board, of course but what it adds
up to is that a whale of a lot
of money was spent.
It's hard to escape the conclu
sion that if that much money is
going to be spent in Oregon poli
cal campaigns the amounts given
and the IDENTITY OF THE
DONORS ought to be revealed to
the voters BEFORE the voting be
gins, instead of after it is all over.

Toll Bridge
Mt Flares
Once Again
SALEM tUPD- The long sim
mering battle between Oregon and
Washington over withholding of
income taxes from Portland-Vancouver
toll bridge employes ex
ploded to life again today.
Oregon Tax Commission Chair
man Fred Hoefke revealed "we're
waiting until the end of the year."
He said Atly. Gen. Robert Y.
Thornton and Washington Atty.
Gen. John J. 'O'Connell are still
discussing the problem and hope
to reach agreement soon.
Oregon claims the legal right to
withhold income taxes from the
pay of employes of the interstate
toll bridge.
About 38 workmen at the bridge
toll plaza are involved in the con
troversy which is now more than
two years old. They are Washing
Ion state employes, and live in
Washington.
The toll plaza, however, is lo
cated in Oregon. Oregon claims
they are Oregon workers and sub
ject to the Oregon withholding
tax.
Hoefke said today that Oregon
has not yet collected any income
tax from any of the bridge em
ployes. "We're getting close to the point
where we will have to do some
thing," Hoefke said.
"We are not going to let the
slatute of limitations run."
"There is no question of our
authority to collect the tax,"
Hoefke insisted.
He said the battle was over
Oregon's right to withhold the
taxes from employes of Washing
ton state.
D. D. Hedges, executive secre
tary of the Toll Bridge Authority,
claimed earlier this year "we
have always felt it was inappro
priate to collect the tax."

WASHINGTON (UPI) Secre
tary of State Dean Rusk leaves
Monday for Paris and a week of
post-Cuban strategy talks with Al
lied leaders which will take into
account the growing dissension in
the Communist car.ip.
The trip also will give Rusk an
opportunity to try to soothe Brit
ish feelings, ruffled by recent re
marks by former Secretary of

that country's future role in world
affairs.
Rusk will spend the early part

British and West German foreign
ministers and then head the
American delegation to the NATO

Thursday and continues through

He is expected to meet with
French President Charles de

At the NATO meeting. Rusk,
Defense Secretary Robert S. Mc
Namara and other U.S. officials
will push for further strengthen

the alliance as a prelude to pos
sible creation of a European nu

At present, the NATO nuclear
deterrent is under the sole con
