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.

7:30, at the Winema Hotel.
Interested citizens are invited to

Monday night.
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. He stated that four
wheel drive vehicles were about
the only ones which could make it.
Rut the tour around Bly is slated
and Eastman said that other pro
grams might be presented to take
the place of the Stateline trip.
