policy. Ho then proceeded to a
report of progress (In a partial
way), telling the AFL forum that
these conclusions have been
reached:
1. That the major nations and
the law-abiding states should
create an International organiza
tion to. enforce peace and securi
ty. 2. That each nation subscrib
ing to the program, and In due
course all nations, should pledge
not to use force except within the
framework of the organization.
3. That each of the major na
tions and any others agreed upon
should accept special responsi
bility for backing Up the pro
gram. READ these three conclusions
carefully. Then sludy your
OWN reactions. Having done so,
this Is probably what you'll find:
That you'll WANT TO KNOW
MORE.
You'll be almost certain, for
example, to want to know WHAT
KIND of International organiza
tion is going to be created (with
US In lt and HOW peace and
security are to be ENFORCED.
THIS is the point:
The only way you can find
out what you want to know is to
ASK QUESTIONS and to have
your questions answered by some
one who knows.
That, In substance, Is what Is
known as the process of Informa
tion and debute. It Is the process,
and practically the only process,
by which the people of democrati
cally governed countries can be

the things they are being COM

OREGON NEEOS CORDON
By Charles
"IN our determination to give everything that we are and
"have to the winning of the war, we are apt to minimize
the gravity of purely domestic civil problems," declares
United States Senator Guy. Cordon of Roseburg in an article
appearing in the current issue of The Comity Officer, offi
cial publication of the National Association of County Offi
cials. Senator (Cordon's reference to domestic civil prob
lems artjcuWIy cpJnteW 'around federal ownership of
lands. ', ' if', federal! ownership were! evenly distributed
throughout the counties of the United States, he points out,
the matter would "be far , more simple, but 90 per cent of
the ownership is in the eleven western states. ,
"The land policy of the United States has changed sharply
within ihe last decade," Senator Cordon says in the maga
zine article. "The old policy of transmission to private own
ership as rapidly as possible by homestead and otherwise,
has given way to a policy of permanent federal ownership
and land management, to which has been added an ambitious
program for additional land acquisition. Much of the land is
now being managed in competition with private ownership.
It would seem that in view of the unequal distribution of
these vast federal holdings, of the fact that they are being
managed competitively with private lands, and of the fur
ther fact that there is no longer hope that they will ever go
into private ownership and so become a part of the local
government's tax base, there can no longer be any valid ar
gument in opposition to the
providing for a fair and reasonable annual payment in lieu
of taxes to the counties wherein the lands are located, or
wherein they are to be acquired." ' ':
Cordon's position on the public land problem is clearly stat
ed in one of his closing paragraphs, in which he says: "If
the people of the United States
business, as would now seem to be the case, it is clear that
some plan must be evolved which will provide for an equit
able annual payment to local government in lieu of tax loss
on these properties, which will be adequate in amount and
certain in time of'paymont, so as to be integrated with
private .property taxation. Otherwise, local government
must face a continual shrinking in its tax base, which can
ultimately extinguish it entirely."'
The enormity of the situation to which Senator Cordon
is calling public attention, is shown in the fact that the
federal government owns 20 per cent, or more than four
hundred million, of the two billion acres comprising the
continental United States. Ninety per cent of this federal
ownership is in the eleven western states. Thus it may be
seen that these states are most vitally concerned in future
legislation which will equalize the tax load between private
and federal interests. As the senator points out, a solution
must be found to the problem or local government will bo
entirely extinguished by an overburden of taxation.
There perhaps no man in the United Stales more 'fully
informed upon this particular condition. Senator Cordon
for many years has been engaged in a most intensive study
of public land problems. Because of his knowledge and abil
ity, ho was for the past 10 years legal counsel for the Asso
ciation of Oregon Counties, and has, since its creation, serv
ed as general counsel for the Interstate Association of Pub
lic Land Counties. He therefore, is jn a position to be of
the greatest service to Oregon and to all of the western
states in the office to which he was recently appointed, lie
fills the place left vacant by the death of Senator Charles L.
McNary. The late Senator McNary depended to a large
degree upon Mr. Cordon for the factual data and the argu
mentation which entered into the public lands legislation
which he so aggressively sponsored.
Oregon now lias the opportunity to continue in office the
one man best qualified to protect this state and neighboring
states from the danger which nlready threatens from en
croaching federal ownership; a danger which promises to
increase, rather than diminish, unless adequate safeguards
arc maintained.
bo like when it Is framed.
His statements will provoke
discussion. Out of discussion will
come complete information and
understanding.

Hi-yah folks, have a nice week
end? and how was the fishing?
Won't it be fun when the war's
over and we can have 'fish frys
again and nothing to worry about
but who caught the most fish?
Well, we can dream, can't we?
In the meantime, there's lots of
good radio listening spots to keep
you entertained and cheered up.
What's better than a good Mon
day evening at home with your
radio set for 1490? There's Army
Air Forces at 6:30; Lone Ranger
at 7:30; Chuck and the Bunk
house Boys at 8 (do we get our
song this week?), and Point Sub
lime at 8:30. Shelock Holmes at
10 o'clock has something, very
special cooking this evening Ba
sil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce,
w ho play Sherlock and Dr. Wat
son, are being honored with an
invitation to become members of
the famods and exclusive society,
"The Baker Street Irregulars".
It you arc ardent Sherlock Holm
es fans, you'll identify the phrase
immediately. Anyway the two ac
tors will be presented with the
membership scrolls on tonight's
broadcast as a reward for the ex
cellent work in this series, said
presentation being made by Ru
pert Hughes, the noted author
and lecturer. Besides all this
Sh'erlock will be delving into "The
Singular Contents of.the Ancient
British Barrow" so you'll have a
very fuli half-hour's entertain
ment. Remember Pegcen on
Tuesday a. -m; 1 at 8:55, Organ
Chimes at 11:15, and there's a
new show starting on Tuesday at
1:15 that sounds good. It's "Open

chestra and Sunny Skylar to do
the vocals. We'll carry it Tues

betting it will be good.
