All proceeds from By FRANK JENKINS The other day. a moderately well-to-do friend said to me: "It costs me about $15,000 a year for the privilege of living in the United States." He was refer ring to his federal income taxes. "It costs me about $5,000 a year for the privilege of living in the state of Oregon." By that, he meant his state income tax. "It costs me about $450 a year for the privilege of living in Klam ath Falls and Klamath county." By which he meant his local tax es on his modest but comfortable home. ?"' ' Well, that's another way of saying that the CLOSER HOME we can keep the bulk of govern ment the more reasonable the cost of government will be. The FARTHER AWAY from us we permit the bulk of government to be taken, the more govern ment will cost in proportion to what we get. Question: Why is REMOTE government so expensive'.' Let me cite an instance. Day before yesterday. Congress man Al Ullman, member of the congress of the United States from the Second District of Ore gon, of which Klamath county is a part, announced that $50,000 has been included in the coming fis cal year's lederal budget to ini tiate a study of algae conditions in the Klamath River Basin. He said ii his message: "I am particularly pleased to have been able to obtain budget approval for the financing of this research project in the budget that congress is now considering. We had previously been advised that funds would not be avail able." He added: "Budget approval means the passing of a major hurdle. How ever, the legislative process, es pecially for money bills, can be long and difficult. I shall do everything I can to insure that the $50,000 amount is included in full in the appropriations bill for the Department of Health, Edu cation and Welfare." What shall we do about it? The problem of algae in Upper Klamath Lake and the Klamath River Basin has been surveyed and rcsurvcyed and then surveyed some more. Speaking w ith brutal candor, surveys of the algae prob lem in this part of the world are running out of our ears. Still Another survey might hit the jackpot. Besides The making of this additional survey would add $50,000 to the economy of the Klamath Basin which is a condition not wholly to be ignored. It might provide some additional jobs which cer tainly wouldn't be anything to kick up a fuss about. And - There's this thought: IF WE DON'T GET THE MON EY, SOMEBODY ELSE WILL. So- You see The money will be spent any way, and we will have to pay our share of the resulting taxes just the same as if the money had been spent here. That's the way it stacks up. In conclusion: All this may give you some Idea of why REMOTE govern-l ment u more expensive than goNernment that is close at hand.

The big trip, with its pri mary objective to examine una- ings of a cooperative mule deer range research program which has been in progress since 1958, began Saturday. D. L. Eastman, district game agent, said Saturday that por tions of the Monday tour, which included an inspection of Gear hart winter range and Statcline via Interstate and Goodlow range areas, may have to be called be cause of the conditions of the roads there.

Telephone Red Ship Heads For MOSCOW (UPH The Soviet Union said Saturday its Lunik IV ockct missed the moon by 5,270 miles, swung around in a sweep ing curve and was now en route back to orbit I lie earth. Sir Bernard Lovell, director of Britain's .lodrell Bank tracking station, said he was "quite cer tain something went wrong" with the moon probe but he did not elaborate. The official Tass news agency said the 1 1-2-lon rocket collected a vast amount oi material which would bo of use in manned flight to the moon butvil did not claborute cither. It said the probe "crossed the surface of the moon" but did not explain if the rocket passed be hind the moon.

Mystery surrounded the fourth Soviet moonshol from the begin ning, touching off speculation the Russians may have attempted a "soft" landing on the moon with some sort of robot equipment. Moscow never confirmed the re ports.

Calif. (UPIl - A Greyhound bus, buffeted out of ontrol by a gust of stormy wind tumbled 100 feet over a rocky nrocinice in tile Feather River Canyon Saturday, killing six per sons. Heavy rain was falling at the time. Seventeen passengers were hos pitalized with injuries ranging from critical to minor. A trustee from the Butte County jail wllo was assisting in the hazardous rescue operations suffered a dis located shoulder. The bus was en route from teno, Nev., to San Francisco via Hie scenic U.S. Highway 4()-altcr nate, the Feather River Highway. California Highway Patrolmeni said it had just emerged from a mountain cut at Jarbo Gap, 20 miles northeast of Orovillc, when! the gust wrested control from driver Howard Humphrey of Reno. Greyhound simkesmen in San Francisco said there were 31 per sons aboard at the time of the accident, including Humphrey who was killed outright. Passenger Linda Dizina, 17. of Portola, Calif., was thrown through a window and landed 30 feet below the road.

The governor has defended civil defense. But his call for public pressure on legislators had no effect. The Ways and Means Commit tee voted overwhelmingly for a three-man agency, instead of the 20-man department asked by Hat field. And they proposed reorgani zation of the advisory council for CD. What appeared to legislators as a deliberate violation of their In tentions exploded to life whn it was discovered a new $36,000 CD headquarters was started the day before the CD cutback was voted by tlie committee.
