the results oi the election that
will then occur will be unplcas
lng to Mr. Truman.
When people are In an optimis
tic name of mind, they are In
elined to vote for the IN's, on the
theory that when everything
looks rosy WHY CHANGE?
When the public's thinking
turns to the pessimistic side, look
out! The theory then is that a
change could do no harm and
might do some good.
IIIE HAVE been taught for
If years to look to Washington
for everything. So, you see, when
ever Washington fails to produce
cur natural thought Is that a
change of faces in Washington
might he a good Idea.
You may be quite sure that Mr.
Truman and his advisers are
watching anxiously this possible
change in the public's thinking
that may be signaled by these
two duys of falling prices in the
stock market.
Everybody was happy with Mr.
Hoover until the stock market
tubbed its toe in 1929.
SO FAR as this writer is con
cerncd, there are two slightly
sour notes In Mr. Truman's mes
sage. He tells us that by drawing on
the treasury's CASH BALANCE
the national debt can actually be
reduced for the FIKST TIME In
17 years from an expected 275
billion dollars next July to 271
billion dollars a year later.
That Is true enough. Still, It
presents the picture in a some
what rosier light than the facts
warrant. The treasury's cash bal
ance simply represents money al
ready appropriated (for war pur
poses) but nut yet sicnt (because
of the ending of the war). ,
What his statement really
means is that we had previously
OVERESTIMATED the national
debt. What it IMPLIES in that we
are already starting the processes
of economy by which the nation
al debt will have to be paid off.
This is no time to paint the fi
nancial picture In terms rosier
than the facts Justify.
THE other sour note is his re
quest to congress to retain food
subsidies as one means of com
batting Inllation.
; Food subsidies have been cost
ing us about one and three quar
ters billions a year. What they
nmount to is paying sellers out
f the treasury to keep prices
down In other words, charging
Ihe difference to the government
iind adding It to the national
debt.
; That Isn't a very sound way to
Veep Inflation down.

By Cherlas V. Stsntos
Douglas county school districts taxed real property
$220,664 more for the current school year than 'for the
1911-45 fiscal year, according to a report appearing ia Your
Taxes, a publication sponsored by Oregon Business and
Tax Research, Inc.
The item is of much news interest. It relates that
higher school costs were reported in 27 counties. In Douglas
county, the Increase of $220,664, levied against property,
was in addition to $216,209 boost in income tax funds. For
the entire State of Oregon, the increase in school costs is
reported to be $1,716,161, based on all sources of revenue
used to support common schools.
These figures are startling. They are meant to be
so. Oregon Business and Tax Research, Inc., is a taxpayers'
association organized to eliminate tax waste and protect the
taxpayer's pocketbook. In stating only the bare facts of
increased school costs, the association is endeavoring to
alarm the public into an awareness of mounting expendi
tures. Without analysis, the report might serve to discredit
our school system. ' .
But when we stop to give thought to the reason for
mounting school costs, we can take pride in our school
system, and the civic enterprise and public cooperation
which furnish required financial support. I
Oregon's population has grown enormously. This
means we must have larger school facilities. Schools, as
has every activity and business, have been affected by
demand for higher wages and salaries. Then, too, they
have been required to increase personnel. During depres
sion years our school facilities were permitted to deteriorate.
We did not have money for new buildings, new equipment.
Districts everywhere in Oregon's prosperous regions now
are planning new buildings, adding classrooms, developing
playgrounds, buying equipment, improving educational
standards.
Improvement work costs money. But in what way can
we spend money to promote a better world in which to live
than in supplying the needs for public education?
There is no denying that we waste a great deal of
money in operating our schools. Our obsolete system of
small local school districts is expensive and inefficient.
Many changes should be made to promote better school
management and higher educational practices. But we are
making progress through consolidation, better training for
teachers, more attention to local school needs.
No, we are not alarmed by increasing cost of operating
our schools. We take pride, rather, that the people of
Oregon are not niggardly in financial support for their
schools; that the thousands upon thousands of people who
will join the trek to the West Coast in the great mass
movement now in progress, will find here a state in which
their children may be assured of the finest educational
advantages.

Milk Bottles Are Coming Back
The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis fur
nished the Douglas County committee in charge of "JIarch
of Dimes" fund raising with a beautiful coin collector to be
used in public places. A handsomely lithographed can is
mounted on a poster, portraying Oregon's own poster boy,
whose recovery from the dread disease has been nationally
symbolized in this year's campaign. Altogether, the coin
collectors are as handsome as anything we've seen. The
trouble is, they don't work.
A milk bottle, bearing an infantile paralysis collar, has
proven ten-to-one more effective.
It only goes to show that money attracts our attention
more than beauty. When, through a transparent bottle, we
see an accumulation of coins, our attention is commanded.
We observe the purpose of the collection. We add our little
donation to the pile, or, perhaps, we flatter our ego by
dropping a piece of "folding money" on top of the small
change. But when the collection is insula a tin can, hidden
from view, regardless of the fine poster job, we fail to heed
the appeal.
So milk bottled are coming back as coin collectors
throughout Douglas county. The next time you see one,
add your bit.
another person without It being
reactive on the planner.
At this time especially labor
cannot plan what will injure in
dustry without suffering doubly
itself. Industry has had no lime
to know Just where it stands in
It's work of reconstruction. The
lit ft conception of unions was
that of establishing a Just rela
tion between employer and em
ployee. But as conditions stand
todav. it looks as if lalxtr is at
tempting to outdo In injustices
he ond the matters they are com
plaining about.
The unions organize separately
In and for each clays of labor
and a man who Isn't a .iwclalist
Is lo bo pitied. The head ol a
canienicrs union should be a
masler carpenter, of a plumbers
union .-.hoald be a thoinuh
plumber. I am wondering hum a
friend of mine who is a tlrst
clns plumber would welcome a
miner as a boss or dictator.
We seek training for o:ir youth
according to natural ability or
desire. So we find men and
women have natural talents or
ability. Wo can t all lie musicians
or cat pciitcrs. plumbers or ora
tors. Not all people want lo
s'iid young lile In school and
college till thrv ire twenty years
of ags or older.
This country was founded on
a constitution which gives lo
ever)- mature person the rlpht of
repi-esentalion in our govern
ment, lair eonstltiiilnn Is the nib
led of admiration all over the
world. Even thoe who seek to
destiny tho constitution ami all
that It stands for, know that to
be a fact.

"The War and Navy Depart
ments now estimate that by a
year from now we will still need
a strength of about two million,
including officers, for the armed
forces Army, Navy, and air,"
Mr. Truman said. "I have review
ed their estimates and believe
that the safety of the nation will
require maintenance of an armed
strength of this size for the cal
endar year before us.
"In case the campaign for vol
unteers does not produce that
number, it will be necessary by
additional legislation to extend
the Selective Service Act beyond
May lti, the date of expiration un

way we can get the men and

is no other way. Action along

Protection for
Domestic Wool
Industry Foreseen
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 UP)
A prediction that Congress aoon
will take steps to protect the
domestic wool industry was made
by Rep. Barrett (D.-Wyo.).
American woolRrowers arc
faced with ruinous competition
Irom abroad unless some pro
tection is afforded, he told a re
porter. "I think Conpress is Roing to
have to settle this problem, and
I think it will settle it," he said.
Barrett's own solution for the
problems facing the industry is
to put quota restrictions on wool
imports. He pointed out that
domestic growers now provide
only about one half the wool
used in this country, but still
can't compete with foreign grow
ers because of higher production
costs.
He would set up a board, con
sisting of officials of the Agri
culture, Treasury and State de
partments, which at the begin
ning of each year would make
an estimate of woof needs and
production in this country.
The board would determine
how much wool should be
brought in to meet demands and
apportion the amount among
other producing countries on a
basis of past imports.
"Although the legislation such
as I have in mind will chiefly
benefit western states. I think
Congress will go ahead with us
on any reasonable program," be
said.
