The one-year 144 million budget approved last week by the State Welfare Commission represents a yearly expenditure of more than (22 tor every man, woman and child In Oregon. The M4 million Includes $21 mil. lion Jn federal funds, (16.1 million in elate money, and county ex penditures of (6.9 million. Biggest tingle item is $14 mil lion for the Aid to Dependent Chil dren (ADC) program. An addition al (1 million is budgeted for ADC medical payments. The ADC program is the most famous, and most controversial ot the welfare services. The ADC caseload has exploded 183 per cent in (he past 10 years and more than 31,000 people are expected to receive it this year It is available to any child un der the age of 16 or 18, If .in reg ular attendance at school who has been deprived of parental support "by reason of the death, continued absence, incapacity or unemployment of a parent. Critics claim ADC encourages illegitimacy. Supporters admit there are some abuses, but argue that by keeping families together the pro gram helps people who want to help themselves, and eliminates the need for other types of aid. Other major programs lor 1!M13- 1964 include M 9 million for old age assistance, f 3 million for old age, medical care, $3.8 million for aid to dependents, $3.5 million for general assistance, $1.8 million for foster care, $1.5 million for medical aid to dependents, and $1.5 million for medical aid to the aged. In the commission's summary of special services for children during March, a net gain of 110 cases was noted. On March 1, 6.4.18 children were under care. On the last day of the month. 6.548 were receiving aid. Of this number, 3,148 48 per cent were living with their par cnts or other relatives. Another five per cent were living in insti tutions or elsewhere. 'Children reported living in fos ter or adoptive homes totaled 3,087. In an effort to get people off (lie ADC rolls permanently the commission has authorized pay ment of tuition for vocational training of adults. The idea is to help recipients learn skills so they can get jobs nd support their families. Proposed state legislation which would reduce personal property tax for businesses and the owners of liveslock by some 25 per cent was endorsed by the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce at its regular meeting Wednesday. The legislation Ls in the form of House Rill 1033 which, if passed by the senate, would abrogate the present inventory tax and estab lish a one per cent business tax that would affect alt businesses, in addition to professional people. Professionals are not now affect ed by the inventory tax. The chamber's Local and Slate Affairs Committee declined to make a recommendation on the bill which has been approved by the House of Representatives in the State Legislature; but Jim Kerns, a member of the commit tee, discussed the measure with the chamber and asked that they urge tiie senate to approve it. On other matters of legislation, the chamber approved two recom mendations by Floyd Wynne, di rector of the Local and State Affairs Committee, including, one. that it urge Gov. Mark Hatfield to sign House Bill 1531 which would restore to the counties the power of veto over the acquisition of lands by the Department of the Interior, and two, that it oppose Senate Joint Resolution 27 which calls for setting aside $30,000 to finance the setting up of an interim committee to study tour ism programs and facilities throughout the state. Wynne argued that allocating the money to conduct the study "amounted to misappropriation of funds. "There are other ways to ac quire the information, such as con tacting the various chambers of commerce throughout the state," he explained. On the bill affecting counties and the Department of Interior. Wynne stated that "counties should have some authority to deter mine what lands are to be tak en off the tax rolls and placed into the 'government lockup.' "About 5.000 acres in Klamath County would be affected immed iately if the bill was passed," he concluded. In his comments on the Inven tory Tax Bill. Kerns said that he opposed in any guise inventory taxes which affected businesses or proiessional people: however, he urged that the chamber support the bill .because it represented "a step in the right direction." Enlarging his argument against inventory taxes. Kerns stated that such taxes are "discriminatory and debilitate business." As an example, he remarked that Wis consin eliminated such laws some time ago and as a result busi ness in that state made "a signifi cant spurt." Later, Noel Flynn, manager of the Payless Drug' Store, ex pressed the view that the inven tory tax is "hurting business in Oregon." "At the end of each year, when inventory taxes become due, wholesalers and retailers reduce their stocks so they will have a small taxable inventory. Such a procedure is injurious to busi ness in the Klamath Basin as well as elsewhere in the state," Flynn said. Kerns remarked later that sev eral years ago the state legisla ture introduced a bill to abolish the tax but it was disapproved when no other source of funds could be found to make up the revenues which would have been lost if the bill had passed. Later, the chamber and the resi dents of the Klamath Basin were recipients of praise from Jim Stil well, director of the drive to raise funds for the construction of the proposed Intercommunity Hos pital. Stilwell lauded the chamner ana others w ho helped contribute more dan $1 million In the drive, "there by aceomplishuig a task that no one thought possible, he said. "Success of the lund drive has brought inquiries from industry as far off as Illinois and has 'also resulted in "people banding to gether throughout the county," Stilwell pointed out. "I I hink tiie nresence of a ltew hospital here will change the whole economy ot the Mamatn Basin. The Klamath Basin is on the way back," he said. ' tn ordi'r tn brine about those changes for the belter, residents of the Basin must begin to lalK up" the area, tell others about its accomplishments, and discuss the advantages of living here, Stil well explained. "This is still the best place in the world to live, but all of us have to start telling people about Idle Workers Get New Jobs 'PORTLAND lUPD Georgia Pacific Corp. said Saturday that many workers idled by recently- announced sawmill cutbacks at Springfield. Toledo and Coos Bay had obtained new jobs. The firm said that in the Springfield area, 70 of 89 men to be affected had been offered other jobs. In Toledo, all but one of 20 men who will tie releases from the gang sawmill have been absorbed in the firm's plywood mill. At Coos Bay, the firm said. 50 of 100 men to be released have been offered new positions. it," he said. Another matter which could add to the advantages of living in the Klamath Basin was discussed by Jim Bocclii, Director of the Aviation Committee. Bocchi reported that a petition had been filed with tile Civil Aero nautics Board requesting that a commercial airline flight be es tablished linking Klamath Falls with Reno. Bocchi stated to the chamber at previous meetings this vear that CAB had disapproved similar proposals in other years, but this time the prospect of re ceiving its approval is good, he said. On another subject. Bocchi dis closed that more than $98,000 in construction work was being car ried out currently at Kingsley Field. Manager George Callison of the chamber announced that proofs of the revised four-color feldcr on Klamath County had been received and the brochure would be available to the public in about two or three weeks. Callison then concluded t h e meeting with the announcement that the local chamber has been established as one of the various tourist information centers so des ignated throughout! he slate.

Tiie new law not only will let employers with good records pay less, but will require employers with bad safely recoixls to pay more than the base rale. Rep. Robert Packwood. R-Porl land, blamed the rush action on the so-called "three - way" bill. which would overhaul the entire workmen's compensation law. This measure, SB370, which in cludes an experience rating fea ture, has passed the Senate but is so controversial it probably could not reach tiie House floor. Speakers said it was decided tn go ahead with the separate ex igence rating feature so that it could take elfect this year. Klfect of the experience rating bill will be to lower rales slightly for about 1.700 employers at the safe end of the scale and raise rates for about 1.W0 employers at the risk end of the scale. Park- wood said. Tiie reductions would be partial ly oflset bv a general rate in crease being put through by the Industrial Accident Commission. Contusion centered on just what the bill would do to sieci(ic cate gories of employers. Rep. Ross Morgan. D C.rcsham, said it might have a severe effect on some small employers.
