The quietness of the local electrical plant makes Grisdale's maintenance force stop and realize that this is now a normal occurrence and not the emergency it once was. Camp Grisdale has been self-reliant for its utilities for 23 years, but little complaint has been made about this new power source.

Tax Statements In Tax statements for 1970 taxes have been mailed by his office, County Treasurer John Cole said this week. The first half of the taxes are due before May 1, and the second half before Nov. 1, Cole said. He also outlines procedures for older persons to claim the $50 tax exemption to which some with low incomes are entitled. Those eligible taxpayers whose taxes are paid by a bank, savings and loan association, or mortgage company from reserve funds are cautioned that they should deliver a completed exemption claim form as soon as possible to the financial institution paying their taxes in order that the $50 deduction may be made at the time of the payment of the tax, Cole said. He added anyone eligible for the exemption should bring his tax statement with him to the courthouse, obtain a claim form at the assessor's office, complete the form and have his signature attested before a notary public, the assessor, or his deputy, and present the completed claim form at the county treasurer's office on or before April 30 at the time of payment of the 1970 property taxes.

Duster dusts 'em off. inn (Continued from Page I) how bold or imaginative, it's something that he intends to get done. "The credibility gap that existed in past administrations is gone, thanks to the straight talking of the president. "He talked straight from the shoulder to the nations of Asia telling them "The United States isn't going to solve your problems for you, you work out your own ways to deal with them and we will help you where we can, but not fight your wars for you or dictate your economic development programs." The Nixon doctrine encourages local initiative by the countries to develop their own defense and economic programs. Performance - Not promises! "He talked straight from the shoulder to the people of the United States about Vietnam; and for the first time the people understood our policy there, and the people support the president. He didn't confuse or make promises which couldn't be kept and within a year of president Nixon's taking office the Vietnam situation has reversed itself. American troops are being gradually pulled out instead of being poured in, south Vietnamese forces have taken a greater share of the burden of defending their country, and fighting has de-escalated. Performance - Not promises! "Richard Nixon is the first president in 120 years to assume office with the opposition party in control of both houses of congress - a discouraging prospect for a less dedicated man; and yet he has established a record of reform and financial responsibility which is restoring the nation's and the world's confidence in the United States. "When we talk about "reform" we mean an effort to make government work better in delivering services to people. Despite a Democratic Congress, the president has achieved draft reform and tax reform. One of the simplest reforms Nixon proposed was incorporated in the tax reform bill - to stop levying income tax on people the government defines as poor. tie found the government had been collecting about $600 million a year from the poor - enough to finance about one-third of the budget of the anti-poverty er pea agency. Performance Not promises! "President Nixon has proposed a "New Federalism" a basic change in the way the federal government does its business. The basic idea is that a government service should be performed at the level of government Federal, State or Local where it can most effectively be done. This is a radical departure from the recent trend of draining all power and all control to Washington, D. C. It acknowledges that some services are better performed by state or local government. And this isn't mere idle talk by the president. He knows that to make this work more money is needed Lag ixon process of governing ourselves - to participate in decision making, know our effective officials and control our own destinies. If we can't control a government in the community where we live and where we can talk to our elected officials; how can we expect to control a government that meets in Washington, D. C. - thousands of miles away? "Local government performs most of the services we all need and expect from government on a regular basis - law enforcement, public health, juvenile programs, fire protection, planning, building code regulations. It faces massive problems in curbing crime, life might be in danger absolutely nothing to t h e mselves or even P temporary cover on the wd "This country has I~ great because of pI individually, as groUl corporations, acting to s011 own problems.

Last summer I had the privilege of meeting with the president at the White House, where this program was worked out with a group of governors, mayors and county officials. Notice, 1 didn't say we met and were told about the program the Nixon administration brought in the people from the states, cities and counties to help develop the program. This is typical of the spiritof the president - in the bestLincoln tradition, government of and by the people and not merely for the people. "I think as Republicans we have an opportunity to remind people of the Nixon record and the manner in which it demonstrates the Republican attitude of performance and not empty promises. "As King County Executive - a position similar to the mayor of King County under our new home rule charter, I am a believer in local government. I got into politics because I believe local government has been gradually dying on the vine in recent years. Through lack of interest, power and funds, local government has all too frequently been unable to solve local problems and more and more of its traditional powers have gone to state and federal government. "1 was disturbed by this trend because I believe that local government is the very key to our American system. It is at the local level that we are able to part~c!pate intimately in the must set priorities. We must decide what things we must have done and can afford to have done. Government simply cannot do everything for the people there aren't enough tax dollars. "1 am reminded of a good neighborhood in my county where the Community Club discovered an uncovered abandoned well and was afraid a child might fall in it. They petitioned the county government to go into the private property and close off the well. The matter went through the Building Department, the Prosecuting Attorney, the Engineer's Office and after about three weeks, the well was sealed off.
