In a letter to the council, Har old N. Walsh pointed out water rate increases can be effec tively opposed only with ade quate facts on investment, costs and rate of return. City Clerk Elizabeth Cavin was instructed by the council to determine the costs of a public accountant to prepare the city's protest against a rate raise pro- Contractors Will Gather Contractors from Klamath Falls, Medford, Grants Pass.

CHAMBER OMMENTS by GEORGE T. CALLISON Mitfr KLAMATH COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE It was announced at Wednes day's luncheon meeting of the board of directors of the cham ber that the long-range inten ' tion of the directors of the Winnemucca - to - the Sea Highway Association is to turn over to Hie various chambers of commerce along the route the job of promoting travel on the highway now that a paved, all weather road exists between the cast and west terminals. When the association was formed a little over three years ago at a meeting in Grants Pass, it was decided that dur ing the construction phase of the highway development, the governing body should be made up of members of the county courts from the seven Califor nia, Oregon and Nevada coun ties which tlie highway tra verses. When representatives of the Tourist & Convention commit tees involved do take over the administration of tlie associa tion, they will have a pretty high mark to shoot at if they hope to match the achievement of the present board of the as sociation. For, w hile chambers ; of commerce and governmental bodies along the route have been promoting the construe- tion of a Winnemucca to - the ' Sea Highway for some eight years, the association, in tlie '. three years since its creation, ' has seen the completed high way come into being. Actually, of course, there are acinic areas along the route which still need improvement. And, in our own county, motor ists presently travel over Ore gon rVi between Ashland and Klamath Falls, and will con- tinue to do so until the McAllis ter Springs segment of the route is completed, probably late next summer. Critics of the highway speak Vacation Play Is Over 'm JIM I'm KIRK "Your M posed by the Dunsmuir Water Company. She will also write to the Pubiic Utilities Commission asking that a public hearing on the matter be held in Duns muir. John U. Petty, superintendent of public works, was instructed to determine the cost of strings of colored lights for downtown holiday decoration. These fig ures and installation problems w ill be discussed at the Nov. 4 council meeting. Mayor David Anderson term ed last year's Christmas dec orations a disgrace and at the suggestion of Carl Clement, Dunsmuir publisher, the council agreed to make this a city prob lem in the interests of the com munity as a whole. A pay rate of $2 an hour for special duty was approved for auxiliary police. The Dunsmuir High School will hereafter do nate a portion of gate receipts to the auxiliary police when a request is made for police pa trolling of sports events, the council learned. Herbert Miles, Redding, dis trict engineer for the state divi sion of highways, stated a pro posed interchange north of Dunsmuir was not included in current construction plans. He promised the stale would work with the city in developing ac cess to the Dunsmuir Airport in accordance with a master air port development plan now be ing devised by the city. The in terchange will be called Duns muir Airport Road, Miles said. Miles also suggested that the name of Florence Avenue, Duns muir's main street, be desig nated South Dunsmuir Avenue, south of the city limits, to en able the highway officials to in stall better directional signs on the Highway 99 freeway that by passes the city. A revised Master Plan of Dunsmuir, as adopted on the recommendation of the planning derisively of the average daily traffic count in 19fi2 of 70 ve hicles a day at Blizzard Gap. But that's 70 times the amount of traffic at Dcnio, for exam ple, just two years earlier, and if traffic were to continue to expand even seven times each year, the volume would soon be tremendous. Future promotion o the Win nemucca - to the Sea High way as a tourist route should take into account that if offers motorists coming west from the eastern or middle western Unit ed States a fabulous loop tour taking in much of the spectac ular scenery and outstanding attractions of Northern Califor nia and Southern Oregon. Driving west on U.S. to, a motorist could continue through Winnemucca to Reno, Lake Ta hoe, Sacramento and the great interior valley of California to San Francisco. The return trip could be made up tlie coast, through the Redwood Empire, the beautiful Rogue River Val 1 c y, the spectacular Cascade Range, the great Klamath Ba sin and Oregon's eastern des sert country back to Winnemuc ca and U.S. -to. Tlie entire cir cle could, nf course, be made in the reverse of this routing. To those of us who live in the west and have traveled most or all of this giant loop tour, it may sound commonplace. But to the easterner or mid westerner, this tour would in deed be tlie sight-seeing trip of tlie west beyond comparison. When the day comes that this tour is well-publicized and well used, the chambers of com merce charged with promoting tourist use of the W innemucca-to-the-Sca Highway will have matched t h e achievement of the present association board vhich, in three sliort years, saw the highway come into being.

Birchers Won'f Side In Politics NEW YORK (UPU Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society, said Thursday night the society will keep out of politics during the 1964 presi dential campaign. Interviewed on a television show, Welch was asked if he backed Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona for the Republican pres idential nomination. "Since the society was found ed and began to have any na tional importance, we have been unable to take and do not take any position in politics whatsoever," Welch said. "Consequently," he added, ". . .1 personally have not been able to express any opinion in politics. . ." Welch reiterated charges that former President Dwight D. Ei senhower is a traitor and that the late John Foster Dulles was a Communist. The accusations were first aired in Welch's controversial "Blue Book." the bible of the Birch Society, and in a private letter which has since become public.

Tax Researcher Claims Sales Tax No 'Cure-All PORTLAND (UPD - A sales tax is no "cure-all" for Ore gon's money problems, the Leg islative Interim Tax Committee was told Saturday. Former State Rep. George Annala, manager of Oregon Tax Research, said a three per cent sales tax with food exempt, ap plied under terms of a bill pro posed by the Senate this year, still would have left the state with a $20 million deficit in meeting a $404 million budget. The Senate bill would have applied half the money from a sales tax to property lax relief, one fourth to income tax reduc tion and put the rest in the general fund. Annala said (he calculations on I he $20 million deficit were based on an estimate of $76 mil lion per year from the sales tax. He also said an examination The biggest part of a dollar is the part you SAVE ..-.! 1 I vine 540 LINKED BY ADOPTION A "certificate of adoption" formally linked the University of Oregon Air Force ROTC Detachment 690 with the 408th Fighter Group of Kings ley Field, In special ceremonies Thursday afternoon in McArthur Court.

Annala said that in compari son with California which has both a sales and income tax Oregon's total per captia tax was $75.60 and California's $86. 10. , He said studies .showed a sales tax provided a more stable source of revenue than income taxes In limes of economic fluc tuation.

They have operat ed the home for the past 15 years and have invested approx imately $50,000 in bringing it up to standards ordered by state agencies.

The deadline on this action was October and was later ex tended to February, 1963, but Mr. and Mrs. Mautz stated the installation would be too expen sive for their operation.
