country from the wicked Repub
licans who if given the chance
will botch up the whole tax busi
ness. The Republicans will point out
how happy we might have been
with our lower taxes and our
greater "take home money" If
the Democrats hadn't viciously
kicked over the tax reduction ap
ple cart.
SUCH is two-party government
-"-which, after all, is the best
form of government yet devised.
The two parties battle it out in a
fiec and open forum, and the vot
ers listen and decide.
Under one-party government
(which is spreading rapidly In
the world) somebody ISSUES AN
EDICT and gels a blank check.
THIS writer believes we ought
to have had tax reduction
NOW, If wo could have got It.
Since we can't have it now, we
ought to get It as soon as wc
can.
Reckless government spending
is our greatest danger. If permit
ted to go on unchecked, it will
fritter away our resources at the
very time when wc need them
worst. Frittering away our re
sources by reckless spending will
leave us weak at the very time
when wc need (perhaps worse
than we huve ever needed it be
fore) to be strong.
Reckless spending will continue
as long as there is plenty of
money to spend. Human nature
just works that way. As long as
the sack of OTHER PEOPLE'S
MONEY remains full.we'll go on
dipping Into it.
JE are thus assured of one
good old familiar domestic Is
sue. Our politicians have fought,
bled and died over taxes since the
lime whereof the memory of man
rutyielh not to the contrary.
California dispatches report the
stait in Fresno Friday of a "grass
roots" campaign whose avowed
aim" is the winning of the 19-1R
Democratic Presidential nomina
tion for Henry Wallace.
Wallace is a sincere chap. His
supporters, generally speaking,
are "left wingers." Left wingers,
also" generally speaking, are Com
munists, Communist sympathiz
ers! and head in tlie rosy cloiids
Corjimunist admirers.
COMMUNISM heads up in anil
akcs Its orders from MOS
COyV. So, you see, we'll have a
NEW issue next year.
IN 'England, Foreign Secretary
fievin, in an extemporaneous
address to a coal miners picnic,
says "there is no danger of an
other war in this generation so
far as I can see."
Rut he adds:
"I feel conscious that a wrong
decision, a wrong judgment, or a
petulant word NOW might con
demn the children of 30 or 4(1
years later."
VJE can still remember another
If British foreign minister who
came back from Munich and told
his people (with us listening in)
that "we have assured peace for
this generation."
A few weeks later the armies
were marching and the guns
were roaring.
WE were weak then, but were
able to shelter ourselves be
hind the wall of Britain's might
while we grew strong. The next
time we'll have to bear tin- brunt
of whatever may follow "wrong
decisions, wrong judgments and
petulant words at the wrong
time."
Whatever else ve do, wa'd bit

STREAM
By CHARLES
The Eaxt Orcfonian, Pendleton, is urging a speed-up of
the anti-river pollution program, insisting that the State of
Oregon should aid municipalities in sewage disposal by
paying half the cost. The Eaxt Oregonian's motive in this
campaign has a sort of reverse English twist, as it is being
dragged as a red herring across the course of antagonists to
high dams in the Columbia river. Pendleton is seriously
concerned with securing construction of the proposed Uma
tilla dam, and also the McNary dam. Editorially, it is striv
ing to point out that while the big dams may damage fishery
resources, dams are essential, but that pollution, which is as
great a factor, if not greater, in destruction of fish life, IS
preventable, and that by cleaning up our streams we could
more than offset any damage caused by construction of
dams.
While unable to agree with the Eaxt Orcyoniun'x insistence
that all high dams proposed in that area are absolutely
essential, we believe it obvious there is little excuse, other
than the financial cost involved, in permitting stream pollu
tion to continue its destructive effects.
Roseburg can be very proud of its record of being the
smallest city in Oregon to install a sewage disposal plant.
This, of course, was at the time the plant was constructed.
The City of Riddle, also in the Umpqua Basin, probably will
bo the next to hold that flattering title, as Riddle, with
financial cooperation from the Harbor Plywood Corporation,
is planning construction in the near future. Bonds already
have been voted.
Commenting on the river pollution situation and its plan
for state aid, the East Oreionivn says :
The best way to have effective state action to prevent
pollution would be for the state government to help pay
for the work. At present the entire cost of a sewage dis
posal plant falls upon a municipality. That is hardly equit
able but the worst feature is that the plan followed is too
slow.
There is an incentive for delay and evasion because city
officials can save money and worry by doing nothing. Nor do
their constituents suffer because the damage Inflicted is to
fish life or to those living down stream. If the state would
pay half the cost of a sewage plant we would make greater
progress. Nor would state participation be inequitable since
the state itself collects license fees from the sportsmen and
the commercial fishermen, whereas the municipalities get
no such revenue.
Whether the salmon run has been depleted by the build
ing of dams or by pollution is a moot question but the dams
must be built because they give us atomic power and other
factors dealing with national safety. If better fishways are
needed they should be built. It Is difficult for a layman to
see why salmon cannot get through properly constructed
fishways easier than over Celilo Falls or the falls at Oregon
City.
It is possible that pollution is the more serious problem
and may have been underestimated. This is something that
' ban be corrected and should be looked after. It is a state
affair as well as a local problem and the state should help
meet the cost.
Should the state participate financially in anti-pollution
installations, general clean-up of our streams could be ad
vanced by many years. Oregon cities already have accumu
lated a total of $17 million in sinking funds earmarked for
sewage disposal. While a few have issued bonds and have
installed their treatment facilities, many others arc charging
sewer connection fees and are collecting money to be used
in construction work at some future date. A good many of
these cities are in a position right now to pay their half of
the cost should the slate cooperate on a 50-50 basis. Estimat
ed cost of projects now planned adds up to $24 million.
The Euxt Orcijoniun adds to its argument:
We will get faster action with reference to eliminating
stream pollution if the 6tatc docs its part. Why should the
state be exompt? It collects license revenue from sportsmen
and from the commercial fisherman. The municipalities do
not. Thu state gets revenue from the tourist business and
good fishing streams are a tourist lure. The worst factor
about strictly local action towards keeping the streams clean
is that It is too slow. The Incentive is for delay. Wc need
a policy that will provide an incentive for getting the work
done.
Sen. Cain Replies
To Attack on His
Housing Program
WASHINGTON, July 22. -(.Ti
- Senator Cain ift.-Wash.) yes
terday described his housing 'hill
as "the first serious and practical
effort to do something about the
veterans' housing problem."
In a three pane statement re
plying to what he called "an In
spired attack" on the legislation,
Cain listed these objectives of
the bill:
"I. To provide n home for a
veteran nt a price which he can
afford to pay.
"2. To transfer responsibility
for the disposal and liquidation of
war housing to a permanent, ex
perienced federal agency from a
war-horn, temporary agency
whose record ol performance is
. , . foolishly extravagant . . .
".'I. To recognize the virtue of
home ownership for those who
can afford to buy their homes . . .
"I. To acknowledge and satisfy
a debt ithe $2,000,000,000 cost)
owed lo the federal govern
ment . . ."
Under the legislation, Cain
said, the veteran would have first
opportunity to buy a permanent,
war-constructed house at a rea
sonable figure. He suggested a
price of SI.O0O.
The second objective, lie said,
would be to terminate the fed
eral public housing authority and
transfer its power and authority
to the Federal Works Agency.
The FPIIA, ho said. "is. on the
basis of its record, incapable of
understanding and following out
the lows of the land . . . Instead
of selling houses to people who
needed to buy houses, it has taken
thousands of houses off tho sale
market by reserving therri ,. for
poisiblt loi.-rtnt purpjsts." .

Says Western Europe Can
Solve Own Problems
SALEM, Ore., July 21. i!P
Slate Corporation Commissioner
Maurice Hudson, who returned
last week from an air trip to
Europe, said today that Western
Europe will solve its problems,
despite some Communist and
Fascist sentiment that prevails.
"The French people are funda
mentally sound and will come out
of their difficulties, despite the
Communist power in their gov
ernment," Hudson said.
Hudson said Prime Minister
Ramariier enabled him to attend
a session of the national assem
bly, where Hudson was impressed
by the presence of women and
colonial representatives under
the new constitution.
In Italy, Hudson said several
businessmen told him they woidd

Hudson said some French busi
nessmen told him they would like

Sen. Cordon Raps
Stockman for Cut
In Bonneville Fund
WASHINGTON, July 21. UP)
one Oregon Kepuoncan blames
another for failure of the Bon
neville power administration to
get a bigger appropriation.
Senator Cordon (R-Ore.) led
off with an accusation, in a state
ment to reporters, that the ada
mant opposition of Congressman
Stockman (R.-Ore.)" blocked in
creases in Bonneville appropria
tions. Cordon expressed himself as
"bitterly disappointed" in the
Bonneville budget adopted Sat
urday by the House-Senate con
ference. The conferees allowed Bonne
ville $8,596,400 cash and author
ity to write contracts for an ad
ditional $4,935,500. The House
had voted $6,907,000 cash and
no authorization; the Senate $16,
222.400 cash and $6,000,(100 auth
orization.
'My office," said Cordoi.
"worked nights over a period oi
many weeks and a mathematical
justification was presented for
every doolr of the $22,000,000 ap
propriation recommended by the
Senate."
He said he signed the confer
ence report because there was
nothing else to do," adding:
"Every other item in the In
terior Department appropriation
bill was agreed upon, Its enact
ment was long past flue. The
activities of the entire depart
ment, including the payment of
presently-due salaries, were being
help up, the time before adjourn
ment was snort and the active
and adamant oposition of Con
gressman Stockman left little
hope for any further increases
In BPA funds through prolonged
negotiations.
Stockman Blames Cordon
Replying to Senator Cordon.
Stockman told reporters:
'In my opinion, the responsi
bility for omission of funds for
the Eugene-Reedsport and De
troit-Eugene transmission lines
(two of several denied appropria
tions) rests squarely on the
shoulders of Guy Cordon, because
he was offered the House con
ferees figures of $13,500,000 for
the agency, plus $2,500,000 for
substations, which could have in
cluded these two Oregon lines.
He spurned those figures and
chose to accept $13,500,000."
The Senate committee, he said.
had approved every item of the
lionnevuie midget, i he House
wanted to stick to essential fea
tures, including 'eight or 10"
nrojects under construction. The
House conferees, he said, added
the Bonneville-Troutdale trans
mission line and comparable limrj
in vvasnington wnicn seemed
justified for new construction but
denied funds to about six new
lines.
Selection of any of those lines
for construction, he said, would
have turned the negotiations into
a "political grab bag."
He accepted full responsibility
for the committee's refusal to
add $500,000 for administrative
expense, hut said he was support
ed by some of the House con
ferees. Wanted Raver's Scalp
Stockman, during the House
hearing on the interior budget,
wrote Interior Secretary Krug,
demanding the resignation of Dr.
Paul Raver, BPA administrator,
on the ground that ho would not
furnish the committee with basic
figures on which to establish ap
propriations. He said the House conferees
decided they could justify pust SO'
much money on the project and
his work on the committee was
confined to an effort to help de
termine where that money could
be best spent.
Cordon predicted a supplement
al appropriation will be asked for
Bonneville. Stockman said he al
ready had proposed that possi
bility to Cordon but understood,
Cordon is opposed to the sugges
tion. An aide to Cordon said the
senator is considering asking the'
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee to send an Investigator to Ore
gon to gather information about
Bonneville. Stockman said he be
lieves this may bo a good idea.
He suggested the investigation'
study anything that could be
classed as "political activity."

Diary of an Early Pullet.
Today I feel grown up. I laid
my first egg. I am a big girl
now, but from now on, my Boss
is going to bo on the spot. He
is going to have to feed us gals
a lot of grain for the next few
months.
Too many times, young pullets
are fed heavy on mash, and light
on grain, and as a result we lose
weight, and eventually we just
have to molt, and then the Boss
gets mad and sells us. We can't
help laying a lot of eggs. We
are bred for that job, and be
sides, we get UMPQUA FEEDS,
and all we want.
We are not like our human
cousins. We want to keep plump.
We think we look better that
way, and wc know we can do
our life work better. Duo to hot
weather, coming, we may not
care so much for heavy grain
feeding, but it is up lo the Boss
to see to it that we do gain
weight.

We heard of some fine pullets,
up around Yoncalla. White Leg
horns, 8 weeks old, for a dollar
a throw. Harry Hughes, Yon

has some fine N. Hamp. pullets
for sale. We hope he changes
his mind, but they are a fine
