fare programs of today both in
terms of service and money.
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

announced sawmill cutbacks at

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

and the brochure would be
available to the public in about
two or three weeks.
Callison then concluded t h e

This measure, SB370, which in
cludes an experience rating fea

so controversial it probably could
not reach tiie House floor.
Speakers said it was decided tn
go ahead with the separate ex

Klfect of the experience rating

the risk end of the scale. Park-
