Entered at the postoffice at Nyssa, Oregon for transmission through the United States Mails, as second class matter, under the act of March 3, 1870, OTHERS SH O ULD SHARE IN GAS T A X REVENUES— A S a matter o f fairness, it would seem only reasonable that every consideration should he shown House Bill 161, which would distribute some $685,000 to the cities o f the state for street maintenance purposes. This amount would be secured by diverting a small part o f the money received by the state from gasoline and motor vehicle taxes and expended by the state highway commission. The cities have a good case in this matter. Every day they see their streets worn out by ve hicles paying the gasoline and motor taxes while the highway (Commission continues to spend most o f the money. The only way these streets can be repaired or improved is by adding to the prop erty tax and at the present rates, cities are simply unable to saddle a higher tax onto their prop erty owners. These city streets, for the most part were built by special assessments of abutting property. Now thev are going to ruin, being worn out by cars and trucks, and where is the money coming to re place and repair? Governor Martin says, in opposing House Bill 161, “ just think o f it, $1,500,000 was expended by the highway commission last year in main taining through streets and in constructing new streets, widening present and purchasing rights- of-way within cities.” But the Governor failed to point out that these amounts have largely been for new construction and they are largely federal funds which are given to the state highway com mission by the federal government for expendi ture in cities. The federal government has recog nized the needs o f the cities as regards o f new construction by making it mandatory that not less than twenty-five per cent o f certain allot ments to Oregon be “ applied to projects on ex tensions o f the Federal-aid highway system into and through municipalities.” It is a well known fact that a large percentage o f the travel done by city dwellers is right within the corporate bounds o f their city. Large amounts o f gasoline tax is paid by busses, deliv ery trucks and pleasure cars that travel within the city almost exclusively. The cities are asking that only a small part o f the revenues from the tax paid on gasoline be returned to the cities for maintenance o f these streets. It is a fact t h a t the average motorists travels country roads, city streets, mountain roads and country lanes, as well as the state high ways. W e believe if the matter was brought to a vote o f the people, they would favor returning a portion o f the gasoline tax revenues back to tne cities to help make all roads better instead of putting so much on the state highway system. ------------------ + ------------------ TE AM R E A D Y FOR BIG TEST OF TH E SEASON— E XT week the high school athletes who make up the Nyssa basketball team,together togeth with coach and trainer will leave for Baker to take part in the Eastern Oregon basketball tour nament. This is the crowning event of the season, with the winner entitled to play in the state tournament. N W e all want to see Nyssa win, but win or lose, we will know they played their best. Not only are the boys on the team the type o f fellows who play the game for all it’s worth, but all through the season they have been coached to play nothing but clean, hard basketball. Winning a ball game seems important at the time, but tne real advantage o f high school com petitive spoils comes in later life, when the boys can apply the rules o f good sportsmanship, un quenchable spirit and discipline to the greater game o f life. Win or lose at Baker, the Nyssa team has en joyed a remarkably successful season. Their list o f victims include Baker, Ontario, Vale, Weiser, Emmett, Nampa, Huntington, Parma and New Plymouth. Thev have Tost games to Ontario, Baker, Weiser, Emmett and New Plymouth, but any team that can go through the season with 12 victories against 6 defeats is decidedly above the average, both in playing ability and coaching talent. / By John E. Public Some Idea of the magnitude of the task facing the Red Cross us a result of Eastern floods can be gathered by Ugures released this week. The Red Cross estimates that some 250.000 affected families will require help in rehabilitation. Housing facilities con stitute a major problem lor the dis aster relief workers. It has been nec essary to establish some tent and boxcar colonies and to provide tem porary housing. A number of schools which were first used as emergency shelters have since been evacuuted to permit the resumption of classes. ♦ Hh HH Revised figures show 1,205.256 per sons were affected in the flood zone. O f this number.748,229 were under the Red Cross care. The Red Cross had in operation 946 concentration camps and shelters as well as 300 field hospitals in which 1500 Red Cross nurses were on duty. Persons sick In these emergency hospitals number 4,288. The nation responded in splendid style to the Red Cross appeal for help, subscribing in excess of 20 m il lion dollars. The Pacific Coast area's quota was *1.321.800 but the total raised came to *1.722,832.85 Oregon contributed $103.332.03. ■S' *#■ + One of the outstanding records made was by White River, Arizona, a community of 100 families which raised $325.86 or an average of $3.25 per family. Added to all the cash contributions are many donations of canned good, fruits, vegetables and other commditles which have been transported free by the railroads en tering the flood areas. The Canners League of California gave 1,963 cases o f canned fruits and vegetables while the Northwest Canners League from its Seattle and Portland offices added another thousand cases valued at $10,000 Arizona’s fruit and vegetable ’ rowers contributed 12 carloads of products valued at $12,000 which were ship ped from Phoenix. The Laundex Chemical Company of San Fran cisco contributed 2.400 pounds of chlorine for use in protecting health.
