BALLOT MEASURES
By Charles V. Stanton
One of the controversial measure on the coming gen
eral election ballot is Measure No, 13, the War Veterans'
Bonding and Loan Amendment.
The State of Oregon maintains a State Department of
Veterans' Affairs, charged with the responsibility of mak
ing loans to veterans on farms and homes.
Loans were made by the Slate of Oregon to veterans
of the First World War during the Great Depression, when
all lending agencies were hard
gon came out well. The loan privilege since was extended
to cover the veteran of the Second World War, and later
granted the Korean War veteran.
But the State of Oregon
to cover all applications. At
more than 1,400 applications
loan.
A measure to Increase loaning capacity was defeated
two years ago. It now is proposed to permit the depart
ment to sell bonds to a limit of 3 per cent of "true cash
value" rather than 4 per cent
vided in the existing law. The change in the law would
permit issuance of approximately $135 million in bonds,
the money to be loaned to veterans.
Proponents contend that there would be no tax in
crease. It is pointed out that
ment made a net profit of $1,228,281, and for the past 15
years has shown a profit of 6'i million.
Opposition Active
But while the finger is pointed at the fact that the
Stale of Oregon has been engaged in a profitable lending
business, the opposition has
vocal. (1
The argument is presented
no business competing with
Stale is the largest single lending agency more loans
than any bank or building and loan association. It is con
tended, too, that the slate's profit originated from the fact
that bonds issued early in the program were paid off at
a low interest rate; that the state loans money at 4 per
cent, which is cheaper than loans by a private agency, and
that it can't continue to make a profit when bonds must
he sold at an interest rate of 3 per cent or more as is now
the case.
The opposition brings further argument that Oregon's
credit will be damaged by the issuance ot more bonds;
that "hidden costs" are not truly reflected in annual au
dits. More than,half of Oregon's bonds, the opposition says,
are outstanding in the form of loans to veterans.
But in offset the supporters of the measure point out
that the Male of Oregon has $150 million outstanding in
loan bonds, but has $161 million in assets, or $11 million
more than its obligations.
Proponents say that the opposition is coming entirely
from the private lending agencies agencies which charge
much more for money than does the Stale of Oregon and
that they are crying only because they are losing the op
portunity to charge veterans more for money.
Ethics Involved I
Granting, for sake of argument, all the claims made
by the independent lenders, it is my personal opinion that
the Slate of Oregon should follow an ethical course.
I will agree that the program of loans to veterans is
socialistic. I won't concede that the State will lose money,
but, even if it docs, I feel that the State of Oregon owes
it to all eligible veterans to continue the program it has
begun.
It is not the fault of the veteran that he hasn't been
able to get money to finance a home or farm. The fault
lies with the Stale, .which hasn't made enough money avail
able. Having loaned money to several thousand veterans,
the State should treat all alike. It shouldn't stop a pro
gram in the middle, with only a minority of veterans aid
ed, when thousands more are awaiting ability of the de
partment to make loans.
So, even though we may not favor the stale being in
business, the fact that it IS in business and has been in
business for many years is sufficient cause, I believe, to
finish its obligations in an honest and ethical manner, even
if a cost is involved.
But, again, I question the mailer of cost. Let's even
admit that the Department, which now is more than $6 mil
lion ahead of the game, will lose some money in the end.
The fact that the loan money is invested in homes and
farms, and will increase taxable valuation of 'the respec
tive counties, will yield more tax money to the counties,
which, in turn, will cost taxnavers a ironH deal ln thn tii
small loss, if any, that could

I feel that an affirmative

In The Day's News
By FRANK
In these sketchy Chronicles of;
the Southwest, let s talk about
roads today.
1 suppose one of the fastest roads
in the United States is from Reno
to Las Vegas. It's fast for two rea
sons. One is that the people who
travel it the whole distance, that
is are in a hurry. It's 455 miles
from the gambling and night club
metropolis of Northern Nevada to
the gambling and night club metro
polis of Southern Nevada, and near
ly everybody wants to make it in
one day. And the night life of Reno
is nut such as to promote early
morning departures.
And nobody wants to get into
Vegas late. Speed it the answer
to the problem.
The other reason is that for the
most part the road is straight
especially from Tonopah on. Speed
on this route is reasonably safe be
cause traffic is light. Add to that
the fabulous smoothness of the
pavement. There is hardly a bump
in the whole 455 miles.
Add the further fact that most
of the time you can see ahead for
15 or 20 miles and off to one side
clear to the foot of the nearest
mountain and you can understand
why there is little loitering along
the way.
Besides, Nevada is broad-minded
about speed, as about many other
things. You waste little time look
ine for traffic cops. The general
idea seems to be that whatever
your car will do is the speed limit.

Next President's Problems
Opposite To Those Of FDR
WASHINGTON (AP) The
next oresident will face problems
which are the direct opposite of
those f ranklin D. Roosevelt en
countered when he took office in
1933.
The president in 1961 will work
on domestic dilemmas which in
volve only comparatively mild
changes, but abroad he must cope
with a world going througn an in
tense revolutionary period.
The world Roosevelt faced in
1933 was not revolutionary. Com
munism was contained within the
Soviet frontiers. The great coloni
al powers still held their colonies.
No upheavals were then in sight.
But at 'home Roosevelt took
charge of a nation flat on its back
in depression, fresh out of steam
and ideas, and not only dreadfully
in need of drastic treatment but
ready and anxious for it.
Roosevelt's remedy was the
New Deal. This was revolutionary
only in the sense of being so in
tensely different from the slow
oace of social and economic ad
justments which had preceded it
in the zoln century.
This is not the task facing Vice
President Richard M. Nixon or
Sen. John F. Kennedy here in this
country which, more or less, is
fat and prosperous.
Since prosperity is not a period
for rocking the boat, the nation
is neither anxious for nor thinking
of extreme measures. Neither
candidate is offering anything
radically new.
Abroad Hs different. The next
president not only will have to
handle communism as it exists in
Russia, Eastern Europe and Asia

JENKINS
If you are one of the few who
have no Date with Destiny in Las
Vegas, you cross the Colorado at
Hoover Dam, some 20-odd miles
south of Vegas. The dam serves
two purposes. It backs up the wa
ter in the Colorado, so that power
can be extracted from it, and it
serves also as a bridge.
If you are a hard-boiled Repub
lican, you will recall that the dam
was projected by the GOP and
was named for President Hoover.
There came then 1932 and the
Roosevelt administration. FDK
changed the name to Boulder Dam.
It stayed Boulder Dam until the
Republicans got back into power.
They promptly changed it back to
Hoover Dam.
Vhat will happen after the elec
tion that is due on the 8th of next
month remains to be seen.
It is worth recalling that when
Hoover Dam was being projected
Nevada slipped a cog. While it
was looking the other way, Arizo
na and California gobbled most
of the power. Worse still, they gob
bled the bulk of the WATER.
As a .result, Las Vegas is sur
rounded' by a vast and arid plain,
whereas it MIGHT have been sur
rounded by a green and lovely land
for the soil is fertile.
There'g a lesson in that for us of
the State of Jefferson. When the
water is being portioned out, let's
make very sure we're not looking
the other way.
but must seek some way to induce
the new nations, newly freed from
colonialism, to stay away from
communism.
Those new nations, backward
and poor, all want to come
abreast of the 20th century in
RUSH. Coping with them and their
problems and desires particular
ly in competition with Com
munism will tax all the ingenuity
of the man who moves into the
White House in January.
Whether or not in the 1960s this
country has a medical care pro

through Social Security as Ken

says it shouldn t is Hardly a re

The answer, of course, will be
of great importance to millions of
aged people. But u ivenneay is
elected and has his way, linking
medical care for the aged to So
cial Security will still be only an
extension of the Social Security
system.
It cannot be considered in the
same league for newness and its
far reaching implications with
the creation of the Social Security
system itself by Congress in 1935.
Whether under Kennedy or
Nixon more or less would be
spent on defense, school con
struction, development of natural
resources or the farm program is
a matter of degree and pot of es
sential difference.
It's for this reason much of the
presidential campaign has re
volved around the personalities of
the two men rather than around
their programs or the issues they
talk of.

intensely in each moment as the

out of it. She is tremendously,
vitally aware keyed when awake
to the majesty inherent in every
instant. And when she sleeps she

her disposal.
These are a few of the lessons

Smith Says Key
Issues Evident
CORVALLIS (AP) After six
months of the Oregon campaign
for the U. S. Senate, the key is
sues have emerged as American
foreign policy, American defense, I
fiscal responsibility and a sena
tor's obligation to his state, Elmo
Smith said here.
Smith, the Republican candidate
for the U. S. Senate, said in re
marks prepared for an Oregon
Stale College convocation, that he
and his opponent, Maurine B.
Neuberger, have sharply differing
views on those issues.
He said he favors strong U.S.
support "of an effective peace
program through the United Na
tions"; believes this country
should "back up fully our com
mitments of mutual security";
and would leave "nothing undone
to keep our military strength
ahead of the Russians."
He said Airs. Neuberger in a
speech had said foreign policy is
the responsibility of the president.
This, said Smith, is a "danger
ously irresponsible concept" that
wouid reject the "responsibility to
advise and consent with the presi
dent on foreign affairs."

Progress Made
On Tiller Home
By MRS. M. HAMMERSLY
First real progress on a new
home for Mrs. J. V. Lewis and
children of Tiller was made last
week when concrete foundations:
were poured.
Tri-City Ready Mix donated six
yards of concrete and delivered it
to the site.
Mrs. Lewis' husband died sud
denly Sept. 1, and the second tragic
blow struck the family when their
home was destroyed by fire Sept.
20. Residents of the Tiller-Drew vi
cinity mobilized to offer assistance
to the family and offers of help
poured in from throughout the
county.
A crew of workers has assem
bled each weekend to get the new
home underway and some were on
hand to help in the foundation
work when the concrete was de
livered. Hunting season has made
inroads into the number of help
ers available for the weekend
building and with its close addi
tional volunteers are anticipated.
Offers of furniture and clothing
quickly met most of the immedi
ate needs of the Lewis family and
sums of money for a building fund
have been received from groups
and individuals. Several contribu
tions of used building supplies have
been made and many business
firms have responded with offers
of new materials.
Those firms giving major con
tributions were Patrick Lumber
Co. of Riddle; Suiter's Bldg. Sup
ply of Roseburg, and Beckley and
Thomas of Canyonville. Several lo
cal residents have provided use of
heavy equipment for hauling and
for leveling and clearing at the
building site.
