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.

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.
