An important event is coming up this fall in which every con scientious outdoorsman in the state should--yes, must--take an active part. This is Na tional Hunting and Fishing Day scheduled September 23. This may be the most im portant day in the lives of Oregon’s more than a million hunters and fishermen. Presi dent Nixon's proclamation mak ing September 23 National Hun ting and Fishing Day was cer tainly welcome news to all out doorsmen. Governor M' Call al so proclaimed September 23 as Oregon Hunting and Fishing Day, the 26th state to officially recognize the role America’s hunters and fishermen play in the conservation of wildlife. But the full benefit of this day cannot be achieved by pro clamation alone. The real re sults will come through per sonal contact between sports men and the public. To do this, every conservation club in the state is being asked to hold Open House or hold a Sports man's Fair. It’s up to you to lead the pu blic in rededication to the con servation and respectful use of our wildlife and natural re sources. It’s up to you to show people in your neighborhood what hunters and fishermen are doing for conservation--and have done the past 70 years. Open House at your clubcen ter or holding a Sportsman’s Fair provide outdoorsmen an unprecedented opportunity to constructive grass roots action aimed at clearing up misin formation and misunderstand ing being circulated on outdoor sports. With full support, every person in the state will know that the saving of wildlife is and has been the hunter's and fisherman’s doing. And along with the showing and telling, it is time for the hunter to rededicate himself to the ethical framwork of hun- by Milt Guymon ting and to renew his respect for the creatures he Lunts. To continue the program the year around, conscientious out doorsmen are also being asked to put a halt to the slob hun ter. the vandal, and other mis fits that give hunting--andfish- ing--a bad name. As this mis fit dirties our sport, all out doorsmen in the eyes of the public are tarred with the same brush. The deadliest foe of hunting is not the animal sentimenta list or anti-hunter. The dead liest foe is the slob hunter-- the poacher, defiler of land scape, enemy of landowners, the arrogant slob who makes his own rules. He’s the offender who alarms the common citi zen and offends public decency. He is the greatest single wrong in hunting today. The antl-huriting moralist is bad enough. Knowing little or nothing about conservation, he feels morally qualified to condemn the men that do. The ethical hunter feels anger and frustration at being forced to share the stigma of the slob who dirties the outdoors. If you love your hunting, if you want a respectable image in the eyes of the nonhunting public, if you want the continued conservation of the fish and wildlife resources, it’s up to you to place an ironclad fist in the face of the slob indi vidual. Make him shape up or get out. You can do it by join ing the National Hunting and Fishing Day program. If you or your club has doubts on how to go about it, a de tailed Open House Manual is available for $1.00 from the National Hunting and Fishing Day Headquar’ers, 1075 Post Road, Riverside, Connecticut 16878. The manual contains a host of information and va luable tips on methods for ob taining community support and publicity. Page Nine Private Delivery Service» Prosper The delivery of overnight mail has become a “mixed blessing.” While it’s consid ered an overwhelming prob lem by the nation's postal service, it has provided a real opj»ortunity to the thriving private delivery services. The U. S. Post Office agency, swamped with some 8 billion pieces of mail last year and losing more than $2 billion, took from two to three days to deliver in most cases. A handful of jirivate comj>a- nies, handling a similar tvj>e of service, not only guaran teed overnight delivery, but made substantial profits as well. However, jirivate couriers are restricted by E'ederal statutes on (he type of items they can transjiort and de liver. They must come under the heading of “priority items and documents.’’ nearly every turn, its sup- porters believe it will create a "crisis’’ that will produce a satisfactory legislative solution in 1973. As long as the public retains the right to refer taxation plans adopted by the Legislature, this line of thinking faces a mas sive practical hurdle. In re cent years voters have been just as reluctant to accept higher income taxes as they have en actment of a sales tax. If the Farm Bureau initiative is jjassed in November some thing will have to give. What that something will be is any body’s guess at this stage of the game. But recalling the theory that true tax reform is predicated on revenue needs rather than tax relief--combined with the fact income tax increases and sales tax proposals have been repeatedly beaten back by voters--there are really only two alternatives. Either a new tax source will be proposed and accepted by the voters, or government is going to have to get along with less revenue. Favorite Foods By Odie" Anderson When 1 first made this Schaum Torte I had to beat it by hand. I’m sure I bought my first electric beater so I could make it. My family demanded it and our guests enjoyed it. It’s especially nice to serve with frozen fruits or with ice cream or both. Peaches and whipped topping are a real treat served over a meringue shell - as we called them. The main thing to remember when you're beating them is to beat them long enough - enough to dissolve all the sugar. It keeps them from being tough. The fact that peaches are in season reminded me of this spiced peach. (I used the re cipe on T.V. in 1960) As you can see tho, they don’t need to be in season to enjoy them. A tart salad always has its place in a dinner or as a main course and cottage cheese adds protein. SPICED PEACHES qt.

Salem Scene by Jack 7immertnin Many observers doubt the 73 Legislature will achieve any thing resembling true reform of Oregon’s tax structure. That doubt is expressed de spite dual threats of guberna torial muscle and an Initiative Ballot Measure that couldclose the state’s public schools. And it is based primarily on two facts. The first involves the his torically tedious route tax re form has traveled in the past. And the second, of course, in volves the peoples’ right to refer revenue measures to the electorate. True tax reform might be defined as a major change in the manner in which government raises revenue. State govern ment now raises the bulk of its revenue from income taxes -- personal and corporate. Local government depends on the pro perty tax. Whenever the subject of rai sing revenue for governmental purposes arises, experts claim there is only one other form of taxation that would produce re venue In proportionate amounts. And that is sales tax. Use taxes are bandied about, levied against liquor, cigarettes gambling and other "sins." But taken together, they seldom pro duce the types of funds ext racted through taxation against income and property. Oregon presently has its share of use taxes. It has a substantial Income tax system. And it has a property tax sys tem that is under tire in much the same manner property taxi are tieing objected to nationally and have been resisted univer sally for many years. Some experts claim true tax reform does not arise from re volt against a given system of taxation. Instead, it evolves from an overwhelming need for more government revenue. State government in Oregon at first depended upon the pro perty tax for revenue. But its needs were meager and those of local government were even less demanding. Over the years this has changed to the point where the state depends largely upon income taxes and local govern ments depend on property taxes. The transition was not simple. As has been noted many times, Oregon accepted the income tax with "great reluctance". An amendment to the Constitution In 1917 permitted progressive Income taxation. But no in come taxes were imposed until 1929. Income tax amendments had been defeated in 1906, 1910, 1912 and 1914 before the 1917 amendment was accepted. Under the successful amend ment, attempts to implement any plan were beaten back in 1919. 1920 and 1921. Even when an income tax law was passed -- by a meager 516 votes in 1923 -- it was repealed by initiative petition the fol lowing year. Further attempts in 1926, 1927 and 1928 again failed. And though the 1929 law was accepted as that year’s "Property Tax Relief Act,” im petus for its acceptance was provided more by the needs for revenue to support burgeoning government than by relief for property taxpayers. Reforming the present stru cture to provide additional funds for still-burgeoning govern ment through addition of an other broad-baxed tax is pro ving just as difficult. Oregon’s lawmakers first proposed a sales tax in 1934 and it was defeated in referendum. An other referendum defeated an attempt in 1936 and a third attempt was rejected by voters in 1944. A fourth attempt died in 1947 and a fifth failed a decade later in 1957. Present readers are familiar with the most recent sales tax proposal -- soundly trouncedat the polls in June of 1970. Few fiscal experts are openly advocating a sales tax in Ore gon today. But privately they concur it's only a matter of time until needs for revenue make taxing consumer pur chases politically palpable. Meanwhile, government at all levels continues to grow and its supporters seek a variety of lesser income producing schemes to sustain that growth. That is the stance of Gov. Tom McCall’s plan to reform edu cational finance by erasing the school system's dependence upon property taxes and sub stituting higher personal and corporate income taxes,anem- ployer-paid payroll tax and fe deral aid. His plan still is in the formulative stage and likely won’t be fully refineduntilearly fall. But it's unlikely the final version will differ greatly from that first implied last spring. And it’s even more unlikely the final plan will achieve re form by addition of a new, major income-producing broad-based tax. Meanwhile, the Oregon Farm Bureau has successfully placed an initiative on the November 8 ballot. If sanctioned by the voters it will prohibit use of funds derived from property taxes for operating of Oregon’s public school a.
