WHAT'S AHEAD?
' Probably the paramount question in the minds of moat of
. iiie cmzeiis oi l& Viianue ana union .county .inis munui is,
"YYhat's ahead? What will the year 1932 bring Us V'
Is Roger Babson, the conservative statistician, .correct in
. .declaring .that the United States has passed the lowest level
hf the economic depression, and ,that irom now on things rare
-brtund to show improvement ?
Will the prices of wheat and livestock, cherries :and apples,
dairy produce and other farm products recover their past
Josses .during the coming spring, summer, and fall ?
Will either one or both of La Grande's sawmills resume
.operations, and if so, when? '
Will the board be able to sell the .Training school bonds,
thus -allowing the erection of the $130,000 building on the
Normal school campus, providing employment for local labor,
. and placing additional money in circulation ?
( Will there be dny new developments in the railroad situa
tion in La Grande, and if so, what? ,
The answers to these and similar questions will decide the
general business outlook of this city and its trading terri
tory. As soon as any one of these questions is favorably
answered we will notice a decided improvement in condition,
Jiere. Favorable replies to two or more of these questions
, .would mean a partial return to "normalcy". "J
If by some fortunate combination of events all of these
problems should be solved, prosperity would -be imminent.
But, though, not impossible, Ave can hardly ihope for such'
progress for at least a year or two, in spite of the fact that
the rebound is usually niore rapid than the slump.
Bat there are several rays of hope now visible. The farm
el's of the valley are working hard to organize their growing
itind marketing activities on a profitable basis. All the lum
ber interests of the Northwest are co-operating to strengthen
; their position.' GoooTbonda are gaining favor Nvith financial
institutions. The railroads are receiving definite aid through
, the reconstruction finance corporation.
"The Grande Ronde valley has half a dozen sources of in-
, ,'come, and it is very likely that at east half of them will show
improvement this year. We are almost .certainly on the verge
of a new era an era that may not equal the over-inflation
of the 1924-29 period, but one that will accomplish more be-'
'c ause it is based on a more solid foundation.
During the past three years many readjustments have
foeen 'made, and a thorough job of house-cleaning has been
done. We are all ready for the upswing and here's what we
need right now! An ounce of confidence and a pound of
application! By believeing in each .other and working to-
' ;g?ther we'll soon have our problems solved. Let's get going!
BIG AND LITTLE NOISES
An odd attribute of noises is that 'they are not disturbing
'in proportion to their volume. A worker in the noisiest
neighborhood will find that the steady roar of traffic noises
does not strike through to his consciousness; he works oblivi
ous to it. But take the same individual and put him to bed

A KESl'LT OP WAR
Possibility that attacks may be
made In the near future on the gov
ernment's program for caring for ill
t and disabled war veterans was for-
j seen by Irwin -H. Jones, state Amerl-
'can t piInn rnmmanrior In an erlrinu
here yesterdsy. In 1896 pensions paid
, veterans of the Civil war came in for
j almost nationwide - attack and--the
mourning cost oi caring lor veierans
of the World war has had the soot-
llght occasionally and may draw more
j of It In the near future.
j There may be and doubtless Is a
j point beyond which the federal gov-
eminent should not go in affording
: ncspitajizatton ana medical care and
, treatment for those who were con
nected with the World war. It may
be .that such a point already has
been reached. That Is a question
wuicn win not oe settled nere and
npw. The primary question is
Whether those who need and deserve
help from their government are get
ting It and shall continue getting it
so long as tney are paying the price
for their bit In the war.
This nation, and any other which
engages In warfare, has a lasting debt
to those who laid down their peace
time pursuits and donned the uni
form. It is not enough to call men
to the colors, pay them off alter the
war and discharge them. The ledgers
opened in wartime can not be closed
when the peace treaties are signed.
War was the original instrument to
be paid for on the installment plan
and so long as any veteran carries
the disabilities and the Infirmities of
war service, the nation is in his debt.
The budget of 81,072.000,000 for
veterans relief is not the fault of
the veterans. The flower of our man
hood in 1917 and 1918 rallied to the
colors, by the volunteer method and
by the draft. Thousands out of the
4,000.)00 who answered the call made
tjie supreme sacrifice. Thousands
more are paying day by day, in Im
paired health. In maimed bodies as
well as In lost opportunities.
So long as nations tolerate war
they must pay. not only the going
costs of war, but the inevitable af
termath of It.
Those wno served, who gave and
are yet giving, jnust be adequately
cared for. If there is extravagance
in administration, if the scope of
veterans' aid has become too broad,
let not the deserving men and wom
en be penalized, instead, let the
pruning knife be applied at the exact
spot where there Is need. Perhaps
a day will come when the cause of
all this human wwriflce will be re
moved.. Then this and other nations
will not be concerned over billion
dollar budgets for veterans' relief.

It is Impracticable to achieve this
end by either a horbsonta.1 Increase
of rates and fees .or by general
revision of rates on second, third or
fourth-clftsa matter -ha -believes.- The
only" practical course; -in his view, is
to increase the rate on first-class, or
scaled-letter, mail This .course he
recommended In 1030, urging a two
and one-half cent rate on all sealed

livery. This half-cent Increase, he
estimated at the time, would produce
about ad6.000,000 in additional funds.
But volume has waned and deficit
has grown since then. Hence trie
Postmaster General, holding to his
original stand for higher first-class
postage, now -suggests a tnree-cent
rate pending the return of normal
conditions. He estimates that, with
the present shrunken volume, the
two and one-half cent rate would
yield only 430,000.000 in additional
funds, a sum far short of that needed.
A three-cent rate, on the other hand.
he savs. would have balanced the
budget for 1931 and would have re
duced the probable $150,000,000 defi
cit for the current year to a third of
that sum.

a revision of parcel-post rates; revi-:

will reduce expenditures for clerical
