Commentary. . .
....BYLOUISGRAY
This may seem a little silly, but the Congress of the United States is going
to have to raise taxes.
Why, because we need strong defense and in the midst of all the troubles
around the world and it cost a lot of money to keep the peace.
1 think we could hold back on our nuclear arms buildup and pursue the
Starwars approach just to keep the Russians honest so long as we don’t
seek ways to pur nuclear weapons in outerspace.
Getting back to taxes, since we have to have a huge military budget and
Social Security is a growing monster we can only throw more money at it in
the near future - we have to find this money from somewhere so we con’t go
into debt more than we have already.
Don’t look for tax reform in this century - because on paper it looks fine
until you read the paper.
Much of the write-offs we hold dear to our hearts would go the way of the
“Great Society” if tax reform becomes the law of the land.
Even if you never drill an oil well in your life - as an Oklahoman you may
find the tax advantages of the independent oil man pretty darn sacred.
Be careful of getting worked up over the fervor to reform taxes - just
because big business doesn’t pay his fair share - don’t think the little guy
isn’t going to be affected.

Dear Editor,
The Merritt Middle School, 7th grade Science classes are beginning a
campaign to save the Tailgrass prairie. There is less than one percent of the
Tailgrass prairie left, so you can see the importance of this campaign.
We would appreciate it if your readers would write their U. S.
Congressmen and ask them to help support the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve
Bill. We need the public’s help if the Tallgrass Prairie is to be saved.
Sincerely,
Merritt 7th Grade Science Classes

HOUSTON (UPI)
The
number of active drilling rigs
in Oklahoma is in danger of
dipping below 200 for the first
time since 1977.
A rig count released Monday
by the International Association
of Drilling Contractors in
Houston shows 204 rigs were
working last week in the state.
That's down from 210 a week
earlier and nearly a hundred
less than were working at the
beginning of the year.
Oilfield experts say the
Oklahoma rig count is the
lowest it has been since the late
1970s.

NORMAN, Okla. (UPI) -
Police say a weekend shooting
victim has been identified as a
state prison escapee.
Officers say the body of
Steven Leroy Mahler, 28, who
escaped Sept. 5 from the Jess
Dunn Correctional Center in
Taft was found in a creek in
north Norman.
Mahler had been fatally shot,
but investigators would not say
how many times or what kind
of weapon was used. Mahler
was serving a three-year
sentence from McIntosh County
for receiving a stolen vehicle.
TULSA, Okla. (UPI) — The
federal court trial for Tulsa
financier Wesley R. McKinney
has been postponed for a
second time.
U.S. District Judge Thomas
Brett said Monday the trial will
be held in Oklahoma City Dec.
2. The delay was granted at the
request of McKinney’s attorney,
Gary Richardson, who said he
needed more time to prepare
for the case.
McKinney, charged with 32
counts of conspiracy and fraud,
was scheduled to go to trial
Nov. 4. His trial was moved to
Oklahoma City from Tulsa
because of extensive publicity
about the collapse of Republic
Financial Corp., a company he
owned.
OKMULGEE, Okla. (UPI) -
A 34-year-old Okmulgee County
woman has been found guilty of
trying to kill a man with whom
she had been having an affair.
A district court jury Monday
recommended a 7-year prison
sentence for Romana James
after convicting her in the Aug.
19 shooting of Tommy Talton.
The victim was shot in the face
during an argument with
James that occurred in Okmul-
gee’s City Hall.
Talton recovered from the
wound and told the jury James
was upset because he wanted to
end the relationship.
BARTLESVILLE,
Okla.
(UPI) — Police say they still
have no leads in the weekend
slaying of a 12-year-old girl
whose body was found in her
home by her brother.
Officers say Simba Moore
apparently died of a blow to the
head, but no weapon has been
recovered and no motive has
been established.

report
BY CLYDE WEISS
Donrey Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON - Reps. David
McCurdy adn Mike Synar, both D.
Okla., and Mickey Edwards, R.
Okla., voted last week to extend day
light savings time by another month.
Reps. Glenn English, Jim Jones
and Wes Watkins, all D-Okla., voted
against the bill.
The measure, sponsored by Reps.
Edward Markey, D-N.Y., and Carlos
Moorhead, R-Calif., passed the
House 240-157 and now goes to the
Senate.
It would start daylight savings
time on the first Sunday in April
instead of the last, as it is now. It
also would end daylight savings the
first Sunday in November, a week
later than now.
Supporters of the bill, mostly
urban and subur an lawmakers, said
it would save lives by adding more
sunlight to evening hours when
workers are driving home. They
noted the change will save the
equivalent of 100,000 barrels of oil
between March and April.
But opponents said it will force
children to walk to school or wait for
buses in the dark and cold of mor-
ning. They also said farmers, some
of whom work two jobs to make ends
meet, oppose the bill because they
will either have to do their morning
farm chores in the dark or squeeze
the work into an hour less time.
Deficit Cut Package Passes
A bill cutitting domestic programs
by $78 billion through fiscal 1988 to
reduce the federal deficit was ap-
proved 228-199 along party lines in
the House.
The Omnibus Budget Recon-
ciliation Act ends federal revenue
sharing for local governments next
year, freezes civilian workers’
salaries at current levels for one
year, cuts some housing and small
business programs, reduces high-
way spending, places restrictions on
guaranteed student loans and
abolishes the Synthetic Fuels Corp,
in exchange for a smaller program.
The measure, supported primarily
by Democrats, faces a veto by
President Reagan, who believes it
doesn’t cut deep enough. A Senate
version would cut programs by $85
billion over the same period, with
the exctyra cuts coming mostly
from Medicare.
Jones, McCurdy and Synar voted
for the bill, while English, Watkins
and Edwards voted against it.
Topsoil Bill Defeated
A bill authorizing a topsoil
preservation program costing $67
million a year failed to pass in the
House.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Morris
Udall, D-Ariz., garnered 225 votres
for passage to 185 against, but it was
short the two-thirds vote necessary
under the special parliamentary
rule under which it was considered.
The bill would have established
minimum guidelines to ensure the
stockpiling and replacement of
topsoil on public lands which have
been moved by surface mining and
some reclamation projects.
A commission to issue standards,
and a $6 million yearly ap-
propriation to carry out the
program, were part of the bill.
Supporters of the measure said the
nation is rapidly losing topsoil and
effortts must be made to replace it.
But opponents, including the Reagan
administration, siad it would
duplicate existing federal programs
to accomplish the same goals.
All the Oklahoma lawmakers
voted against the measure except
McCurdy, who voted for it.
