camp generators become only an
emergency power source. 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. Mercury vapor yard and
street lights are new to this deep
woods area and make life a little
more enjoyable during th0 dark
winter months.

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. In order to qualify for the

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

process of governing ourselves
- to participate in decision

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,

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

decide what things we must have

"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

well was sealed off. What
