In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
On Tuesday of last week, the
wneat farmers of the United
States went to the polls in a na
tional referendum election and
rejected a new and tighter feder
al production control plan for
their crop by a vote of 547,151
FOR and 596.943 AGAINST.
The vote was 47 per cent for
and 53 per cent against the pro
posal. But that doesii t tell ine
whole story. Under the terms of
the referendum, approval by at
least two-thirds of those voting
would have been required to put
the proposed new program into ef-feet.
In Oregon, six Eastern Oregon
counties where wheat is the ma
jor crop voted in favor of the
new and tighter program. It lost
m all the other Oregon coun
ties. In Klamath county, the pro
gram received a favorable vote
of only u.2 per cent of those
voting. In Oregon as a whole,
yMie the wheat growers voted
'..132 against the plan and 4,637
in favor. In the state of Wash
ington, the vote of the wheat
growers was 6.976 for and 8,012
against.
Why this decisive rejection?
This thought occurs:
The wheat growers must have
got tired of being hired NOT
to produce wheat.
Then
Of course-
There is the fantastic surplus
that has been accumulated a
surplus that filled all the ware
houses and then overflowed into
receptacles such as empty
and idle ships. Not to mention
the building of fabulous numbers
of new warehouses.
It must have become obvious to
a very large number of grow
ers that this huge surplus tend
ed to hang over the wheat mar
kets of the future like a dark
thundercloud.
This thought must have been
in their minds: What would hap
pen to the wheat markets if the
government should suddenly de
cide to throw this vast surplus
on the market for what it would
bring?
That couldn't have been a
pleasant thought especially in
view of the rather obvious fact
that the New Frontier has come
definitely to the conclusion that
its political future lies in the big
overgrown cities and that it no
loncer needs, the Xarm vote lo
slay in power.
. Lei's get back to the tourist
Industry.
Here are some figures that may
surprise you: :
' During the 1962 tourist sea-
ton. 9.225.378 out of state visitors
came to Oregon in 2.804.660 au
tomobiles. That's a little bet
ter than FIVE TIMES the pop
ulation of Oregon.
And-
While here
They spent an average of $20 45
per day per car. Forty-three per
cent of them came from Cal
iforniaand so must have passed
through Southern Oregon twice,
once on the way up and again
on the way back.
This is the point:
If we could have stopped all
of these California cars twice
once on the way up and once on
the way back it would have
meant the addition of nearly
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS to
our Southern Oregon economy.

OLD AND NEW REFLECTS LASTING TRIBUTE In front
of the Klamath County Courthouse stands a memorial
shaft honoring trios 222 Klamath Basin veterans who died
in active service durinq three periods of hostility, World
War I, World War II and the Korean conflict. The first
shaft, left, was built in 1 943. It was 44 feet high and six
feet square at the base. It was constructed of plywood
and all the materials and labor were donated by patriotic
and veterans groups and civic minded residents. The
shaft was actually built around a power pole and de
signed in the shape of an obelisk to resemble the Wash
ington Monument. The committee responsible for the
construction consisted of Coleman O'Louqhlin, William
A. Canton and Lois Stewart. The new shaft, right, built
in 1 952, was made of native stone with an Arizona sand
stone platform. The tablet is inscribed, "We Here Highly
Kesolve lhat Ihese Uea
d Shall Not Have Died in Vain."
The total cost of the shaft was $6,000 collected from vol
untary contributions from county organizations. The Toast
masters Club spoke at various meetings soliciting funds
for the shaft and the Elks Club contributed the largest
sum, $2,500,

The two climbers. William In-

reassure them.
"I have sore feel but I'm get

wife Jolene as she waited anxi

meet the helicopter when it re
turns to Katmandu and to bring
sandals for their frostbitten feet.
Fellow climber Dr. David Ding
man told the wives in the same
radio transmission that "both men
are going to be all right."
Both wives had been waiting

SALBM (UPD Senate oppo
sition to a net receipts tax buck
led Saturday as Senate-House con
ferees reached tentative agree
ment on a revenue package to
raise $60 million.
Sen. Glen Stadler, D Eugene,
proposed accepting a net receipts
measure very similar to the one
rejected by the Senate Tax Committee.
It was not known whether the
full Senate would accept the pro
posed compromise.
If it is rejected by the Senate,
another conference committee
would have to be appointed. -
The package is expected to win
easy approval in the House.
The full package includes a 4-
cent a pack cigarette tax, with
S3 million to go to cities. A one
shot speedup of withholding tax
collections would be held for
emergency use.
Other features of the tentative
compromise arc:
Revision of the stale capital
gains law to eliminate the re
invest in Oregon feature, and with
5 per cent maximum tax on
gain.
Increasing the corporate ex
cise tax I pet cent on net earn
ings in excess of $25,000.
A flat $20 exemption and de
pendency credit.
A 5 per cent medical deduc
tion with no top limit.
A 5 per cent optional standard
deduction.
A modified net receipts tax,
exempting the first $500. then ap
plying a 1 per cent tax on in
come up lo $16.0011, and 1 1-2 per
cent on income over $IB,000, with
fractional rates of from 1 to 6
per cent.
Sen. Donald Husband, R-Eu-gene,
apparently was ready to
agree to the proposal.
House conferees Richard Ey
mann. D - Warcola, and F. F.
Montgomery. R-Eugenc, agreed to
the Senate compromise, though
Montgomery said he was not
happy with the plan to increase
corporate excise taxes.
The conference battle began
May 10 after the House refused
to accept Senate amendments
which 6truck the net receipts
feature from the House-originated
income tax measure.
The first conference committee
deadlocked on May 21 when Rap.
Victor Miyeh. R-Portland, said he
could not abandon the cigaretto
and net receipts tax proposals.
Other committee members includ
ed Sen. Boyd Ovcrhulse, D-llad-ras,
Sen. Robert Elfstrom, R
Salem. and Eymann who is the
only holdover on the present committee.
When the second committee met
Eymann pushed for adoption of
the pure net receipts bill urged
by Gov. Mark Hatfield a bill
which never got out of the House
Taxation Committee.
The first major break came
Thursday when Stadler and Hus
band said the Senate might ac
cept a cigarette tax as part of a
package. He wanted some of the
money turned over to cities, and
the House-favored one-shot speed
up of withholding tax collections
held back for emergency use, and
a graduated rate structure.

from the state. $13.8 million from
