Machinery Reserve Fund
Needed
THE Oregon legislature will ho
called upon lo consider a pro
posal granting to cities and coun
ties authority to set up reserve
funds lo be used In the purchase
of machinery and equipment.
This hill will be sponsored by the
Association of Oregon Counties
und the League of Oregon Cities.
Each of these organizations pos
sibly will submit separate meas
ures from which the final draft
will be drawn.
Undoubtedly the desired legls
lallon will he enacted because of
the evident need for such a
change from the existing budget
restrictions. The present law re
quires that any surplus existing
In budget funds at the close ol
Ihi; fiscal year be applied toward
tax reductions in the budget set
up for the ensuing year. The pro
posed legislation would permit
certain surpluses io ie set aside
for definite? future expenditures
and would not require that they
bo considered as cash on hand in
estimating the amount of the
future tax levy.
Unless such action Is taken,
cities and counties will face a
critical situation after the war
or at any time restrictions on ma
chlnery purchases are lifted.
Machinery used In heavy work
deteriorates rapidly. County
court a are finding It extremely
difficult today to keep graders,
shovels, bulldozers, trucks, crush
ers and other machines patched
Up and in operation. It "ill he
necessary, as soon as conditions
permit, to scrap the major part ot
all machlneiy now in use and re
place it with new equipment. It
is evident that one year's appro
1 rial ions, subject to I he six per
cent limitation on Increase, would
not be sufficient lo provide funds
with which to buy all the ma
chlnery needed for replacement.
Consequently city anil county
governments should begin now to
put money aside lor that pill'
pose.
The lime Is particularly light
for such procedure because the
reserve funds, in nearly all cities
and counties, can be created with
out tax increases. Due lo the
shortage of manpower and mate
rials, it has been Impossible to
carry out the usual programs ol
street and road maintenance and
repair. Money set aside for such
purposes will not lie entirely
used as lias been the case in past
years. Thus il becomes possible to
utilize the surpluses from these
luuds to set up the desired reserve
without placing any extra burden
upon the taxpayers.
It is true that it would lie pus
sihlc to use the money as cany
over for application toward tax
reduction next year, but such
action would lie short -sighted in
deed. A large lump sum is to he
needed at some future dale, and
now Is Ihe time lo begin sawuu
toward a known need rather than
to attempt to raise Ihe entire sum
at one time at a latter period.
country Is totally dry. From
Mlsurata to Tripoli is cultivated
country, with no water problem
Thirst is one of the great men
aces of this , northern African
desert fighting.
IF Rommel is still fleeing for hit
life, it is good news. One can't
help noticing, however, the re
strained tone of Ihe British ills
patches In comparison with the
CONFIDENT tone following the
break at El Alamcln.
It is obvious they haven't
counted foxy Rommel out as yet.
THERE arc hints that our side
is getting the all-Important
edge in air strength in north
Africa. Allied bombers, the dis
patches say, were over Tunis
FOUR HOURS the other day.
Only TWO of our planes are said
to have been lost in all the north
African fighting on that day.
IN Russia, the German defenses
are said to be generally stiffen
ing, with the Germans scoring
gains at some points through
sheer weight of numbers.
Southwest of Stalingrad, they
attacked with the typical blitz
combination of dive bombers,
tanks and following infantry. The
attack was launched out of a roll
ing column of fog.
It is described as the strongest
by the Germans since the Rus
sians took the offensive.
IT Is apparent that the Russians
have failed so far to spring
shut the jaws of their plncer trap
west of Stalingrad. Judging by
the strength the Germans are
showing in their counter attack,
they still have fair communica
tion lines open behind lliem.
THE news isn't bad, but it indi
cates clearly Ihe wisdom of
not Jumping lo unwarranted con
clusions whenever our side starts
a big push.
The war isn't over yet. The best
thai can be hoped is that the
turning point may be here.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Pec. 17.
Department of agriculture has
devised a new concentrated food,
the base being varieties of wrin
kled peas grown In Washington
and Oregon mixed with soybean.
Food values are so high in the
concoction that the department
asserts it makes an ideal ration
for the military forces. This con
centrate is planned to be largely
used abroad when Uncle Sam
starts feeding some 400,000,000
hungry foreigners.
The dehydrated soup (just add
hot water and serve), in addition
to pea meal and soybean grits, is
mixed with dry skim milk. The
protein content is 35 per cent.
With the exception of, soybean
grits, the other ingrexlients are
available in the Pacific northwest.
although there is insufficient ma
chinery for full production of
powdered milk. The skim milk
powder is better than dried whole
milk, as the latter becomes ran
cid within a few months, whereas
Ihe skim milk powder last In
definitely. Growers of wrinkled peas in
Oregon and Washington have a
heavy task ahead of them supply
ing their part of the concentrate.
The department states it expects
between 40 and 50 million pounds
of wrinkled pea meal for soup,
and specifies that the peas come
from Ihe Pacific northwest. The
varieties of wrinkled peas are
known as Alderman, Perfection,
Thomas Laxton and Surprise.
These peas are not to be confused
with Australian winter peas now
grown in that area and shipped to
southern states to be used as fer
tilizer. No price has yet been fix
ed for the wrinkled peas.
Import Plans Stir Alarm
Claude Wlckard, now food boss
of the nation in the matter of
production and distribution, has
made the statement that if Presi
dent Roosevelt is given authority
to suspend tariff laws there may
be brought in from Canada 200,
000,000 or 300,000,000 bushels of
feed grain to be sold to cattle
men who wish to fatten stock be
fore sending it to market. This is
one of the several things farmers
do not appreciate, for there are
surpluses of grain in the north
west and midwest which are con
sidered ample for all require
ments. While the prospect of a flood
of Canadian grain flowing into
the United States alarms the
farmer, the cattleman Is worried
over the prospect of the domestic
market being invaded by beef
from the Argentine. Apple grow,
ers of Yakima and Hood River
valleys have a threat of British
Columbia competition if the presi
dent is authorized to suspend tar
iff schedules, and Medford or
chardlsts can look for pears from
South America entering the
domestic market. Ditto the tur
key growers of the northwest.
Dairy Problem Noted
Somewhat late in its discovery
is the department of agriculture
in announcing that 60 per cent of
all the cows milked in the United
States are in herds of 10 cows or
less, producing 55 per cent of the
milk supply. The announcement
comes after the great decrease in
these small herds, sold to slaugh
ter houses because the dairymen
have been unable to keep work
ers and the dairyman and his wife
cannot care for the small herd
and attend to other chores of a
milk ranch. For 1943 the depart
ment Is asking dairymen to in
crease production over 1942 by
two billion pounds, an almost im
possible task when so many cows
have been disposed of.
As a sidelight on the milk prob
lem consider Tillamook county,
Oregon, where 92 dairies have
been put out of business by the
navy which bought the valuable
grazing land and converted the
pasturage Into a $7,000,000 base
headquarters for blimps to patrol
the northwest coast. The base
was constructed by a Puget sound
firm.
Byrnes Weary Of Job
Jimmy Byrnes is tired of his
job which, when the executive
order was issued, appeared to
make him over all boss of the war
effort; over Donald Nelson of
war production board, Leon Hen
derson of office of price adminis
tration, etc. Like others who have
been made czars by executive
order (Rubber Czar Jeffers told
a house commiltce that czars
were a dime a dozen), Byrnes dis
covered that he didn't have the
authority the executive order
specified. Ex-Senator and ex
Associate Justice Byrnes has had
repeated rows with Nelson and
Henderson and told the latter to
stop seeking publicity and get
down to business.
Now Jimmy Byrnes would like
to recapture his seat on the su
preme bench which he resigned
to take on the special task for the
president (at a personal sac
rifice of $10,000 a year). Mr.
Roosevelt has not filled the
vacancy notwithstanding there
arc scores of applicants. Justices
Frankfurter, Reed and Jackson
are said to be pulling for Charles
Fahy, solicitor general; Justices
