IWell, we tried thut on Hitler,
We (meaning everybody who was
njenaced by his expansion) let
him over-run the Rhineland. We
lqt him swallow Czechoslovakia.
We let his pick off Austria. We
called this consent policy AP
PEASEMENT. We gave It a thor
ough trial.
;it didn't work.
! Instead of appeasing ' Hitler,
the lambs we threw to him over
the corral fence merely whetted
his appetite.
We know what followed.
EVER since V-E Day (even be
fore that, as a matter of fact)
we have been appeasing Russia.
That hasn't seemed to work. Aft- j
or each new meal, Russia . has
seemed hungrier and more trucu-i
lent.
Just as Hitler was.

PUT it this way. . f .
Suppose you were but in the
chicken house on a dark night
with a hungry cougar prowling
Mound. You didn't like to think
of what would ensue if lie rushed
you. So every-now and then you'tl
throw him a chicken.
Would the cougar get full and
Joave and NEVER COME BACK?
PROBABLY .not.
The chances are it would
hung around until you ran out ot
chickens and by that time it
might be in the mood to TACKLE
YOU.
Il seems to he true of both
predatory animals and predatory
humans that the more they get
t he mote they want.'
As to predatory humans, his
tory teaches that lesson quite
plainly. ' )
WHAT we all want is to get
along with Russia. Hut we
want also to KEEP OUR CHICK
ENS. If we keep tossing them
out, one at a time, In the hope of
appeasing . Russia's appetite,
they'll be GONE sooner or later.
Our chickens, in this ease, are
the solid satisfactions of our five
way of life. If we keep tossing
them over the fence to hungry
communist Russia, the time will
come when there will be none
left.

RECORD YOUR DECISION!
By CHARLES
Taxpayers of Roseburg' school district, No. 4, will be called
upon tomorrow, Wednesday, May 14, to decide whether the
Highest school budget in the district's history, as proposed
by the budget committee, is to be adopted. The election is to
be held between the hours of 2 and 7 P. M. at the Junior
High School building. Only taxpayers may vote. No prior
registration is required. Should a voter's qualification be
challenged, he would be required to show that he pays taxes
on real estate, merchandise, personal property, or owns stock
in some corporation doing business and paying taxes within
the school district.
We have discussed the budget at much length in this col
umn and in news columns during the past few days. We have
endeavored to present a complete and accurate picture of
the district's financial situation. We have made a sincere
effort to present facts and figures whereby every person
called upon to vote at the election could have full Information
upon which to rest his decision.
We believe it important that every voter bo cognizant of
the fact that the budget, if
his tax bill next November. He
fact that failure of the budget
the district's educational program and force elimination of
many departments and services.
The sad part of. the current school budget issue is the
mouth-to-mouth campaign of misleading information.
We have heard numerous tales of school board "extrava
gances," and accounts of how money in the proposed budget
will be used '-'unwisely."
There can be differences of opinion, naturally, regarding
how much money we should spend in operation of our school
system. There are patrons who frown at so-called "frills"
and would confine our educational pattern to bare essentials.
On the other hand, some patrons want more emphasis upon
athletics, while still others propose ait extensive schooling
in crafts and trades. The tentative budget offers' a more-or-less
middle-ground pattern.
Differences of opinion are desirable, when honestly and
sincerely presented, as they load to greater efficiency and
economy. Untruth, exaggeration, or careless talk concerning
a matter as important as the school budget and school sys
tem can be Very dangerous. Some people,' who will not make
an effort to study or analyze statements heard on the street,
are apt -to accept irresponsible utterances for .truth. We
would urge anyone who has a real doubt in his mind, or who
is disturbed by some rumor or statement he has heard, to con
tafct school officials. Our school officers are anxious that the
budget be presented in a fair and. truthful manner. They will
gladly, explaiii the necessity for any appropriation proposed
in' the budget. . . . j
It is not essential that a voter be in agreement with the
explanation given by school officials. For instance, some
voters may have an honest disagreement regarding the ne
cessity for proposed salary increases. School officials will
show there is extreme competition for services of competent,
experienced teachers; that Roseburg's proposed salaries
parallel the stato average; that many schools in districts
of even smaller size are offering better salaries than those
proposed at Roseburg; that if salaries are not kept at levels
prescribed by the budget, it will be extremely difficult to
secure a staff of qualified instructors.
Voters should keep in mind the fact that the district's
enrollment has more than doubled since the war and is con
tinuing to grow. Each addition, to a family means more
expense, and so it is with our schools. When the family
grows faster than the rate of income, the wage-earner must
find sonic means of raising additional money. That is equally
true of the school district. State law limits the school dis'
trict's income to an increase of 6 per cent annually. But with
enrollment increasing from 10 to 15 per cent annually, in
come and growth are out of proportion, particularly when
wnges, material costs, etc., are at an all-time high.
The question, as we sec it, is whether we can afford to pay
the cost of progress, or whether, as an alternative, we desire
tax economy at the expense of educational opportunity.
It is a question no qualified voter should shirk. Every tax
payer eligible to vote at tomorrow's school election should
record his decision.

Camp Fire Girls
Advised on Plans
For Kilowan Fun
Roseburg Camp Fire Girls and

Kilowan, near Dallas, this sum
mer are asked to make their res
ervations by leaving a deposit of
$2.00 with their guardian or with
Mrs. W. A. Allen at 130 Blakeley
street by Saturday afternoon of
this week. Making a reservation
this week will Insure the local
girls of camp time during the
month of July.
News that the Camp Kilowan
schedule had been completed was
reecived by Mrs. Frances Ellison,
local Camp Fire Council presi.
dent, just a few days ago. It is
hoped that Roseburg girls will
be able to attend camp this sum
mer during the month of July
and reservations are being ac
cepted in Salem beginning May
15. In order that local girls may
go during July it will be neces
sary for deposits to.be sent to
Salem Immediately to reserve this
time. - .

other than the scheduled time for
Roseburg girls, it is necessary for
them to arrange their own trans
portation. On event a girl registers for
Camp and is unable to go, her de
posit may not be refunded but can
be transferred to another girl not
already registered.
Last year nearly 70 girls at
tended from Roseburg.
If girls do not register this
week for camp they may still at

them to arrange their own trans

Thinks Proposed Budgets
For City Expenses and
Schools Should be Pared
In the last several weeks there
has been considerable heated talk
about the new ; budget for our
schools and for the city. Many
items appear on the school bud
get which could be discussed more
at length, and the same might be
said of the city budget. The old
saying is "your must learn to
crawl before you can walk," but
from the size of these budgets one
can only infer we arc trying to
run before we have learned to
crawl.
The average person on reading
either of these budgets must be
completely confused. Among the
items which I think should be
further discussed is the $3,000 for
maintenance of the airport, in
which we have invested about
$75,000, and which is rented for
$1,000 per year (incidentally,
which would make a wonderful
industrial site) and the added
cost of consolidation of the treas
urer and recorder, the necessity
for municipal judge, and the rea
son why it is necessary for two:
policemen to collect money from
tne parsing meters.
In our school budget (and I will
concede again the necessity for
keeping our school system up), I
note an item for $6,000 for li
brarians, $45,000 for school,
lunches, which 1 understand is al
set by a $15,000 income from
lunches, but a further item of sev
eral thousand dollars, for a dieti
tlon and cooks. Is there any rea
son why the school lunch pro
gram can't be made self-supporting?
Unfortunately wc have been
voting either by legislative enj
at'tment or by special elections'
Numerous taxes, five text books
and free paper, nil of which have
been passed edher as a vote get
let or because California o(
Washington does the same thing

lo puss a sales tax Is given to us?'
many of our school teachers and '
other persons object to it bri !
cause, owning no property, they 1
will have to help support our!
schools. 1.1
I still think both the city and j
school budget should be trimmed t
to an absolute minimum, and '
while 1 believe that otir officers
in charge of the budgets have'
done an honest piece of work'
from their point of view, I think

that further outs could be made,
It is just possible these budgets
will be rejected by voters, and
then the-- will have to be revised.
It is too late now to revise either
of these budgets, and to make
myselt rerfectly clear, I want to
go on record as voting for the
school budget in spite of its size,
and against the city budget be

Reps Proposed Salary
Items in School Budget
I saw an Item, in Saturday's Da-
per headed "School Tax 'Yes'
urged by Elliott." This would be
expected since It raises his salary
about 33 l3'r, to $G0OO per year,
the same as the City Council pro
poses to pay a city manager. Sev
eral state officials serve for less
than this. Also the school budget
proposes $5400 worth of secre
taries for Mr. Elliott. The tax
payers have a defense against
this extravagance because thev
can vote down this budget on
May 14th, and require a new
budget for less expense. No tax
payer wno aoesn t vote against it
should complain of his tax bill.

'Too Many Frills' In
Schools, Critic Asserts
I think there are too many
frills on our educational system
that don't really amount to any
thing, but take up time of the stu
dents at cost to the taxpayers. I
think it is time to clean house
and discard the useless time con
sumers that will never help the
students to get down to the busi
ness of earning their living and
taking their places in the world.
We are living in a very extrav
agant age and "when winter

Fish Come Forth When
Water Spouts in Ditch
' PRINVTLLE, May 13. tVPi
Leonard Pitman was digging a
ditch beside the ball park here as
part of the city sewer sytem
when he struck water.
It gushed in, quickly forming
a small pool, and the first thing
Pitman knew two fish popped up
and began swimming around.
He caught them, took them
around to show friends then went
back. There were two more swim
ming about.
Pitman finally re-routed the
ditch, and walled in the pool,
where the fish still can be seen.
