Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there
be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4: 8.
THE INACTIVE DOLLAR AND THE ACTIVE ONE
With the NRA "Buy Now" campaign under way, it is
interesting to look beneath the wheels and see what nutkes
the engine run.
If you spend a dollar you have been holding back; if you
creat new indebtedness which you are able to take care of in
due course of time, you have helped the wheels of industry.
Your dollars will do the work of ten in the course of its
circulation it will pay wages, old bills, provide for new
purchases, keep factory wheels operating, stimulate dull
business.
But if you don't spend the dollar you have in an old sock
or somewhere else you do none of these things. In fact,
if you need something you can buy and fail to buy it, you
are lowering your chances, your neighbor's chances and your
nation's chances for a return to normal times.
Then, there is still another side to the "Buy Now" cam
paign. The market is rising. And if you spend that dollar
now, you probably will get as much as you might a month,
two months or three months later for a dollar and a quarter,
or possibly more.
Besides being a patriotic duty to "Buy Now", it is good
business. -..' -. .... ,,,,.,.... . . ......
Don't let this opportunity to help yourself and your country
slip by.
Now is the time to buyl
A RAILROAD CELEBRATION?
Committees, acting upon the urge of Martin King, veteran
engineer, who has been delegated by Union Pacific "old
timers" to take up the question, are to consider soon the
feasibility of holding a celebration in La Grande next July,
probably the Fourth, to commemorate the 50th anniversary
of the arrival of a first railroad train in this city.
It seems to be a good idea a very good idea. La Grande,
the last decade, has had few celebrations except for the
Armistice day'event and occasional Labor day celebrations.
Fourth of July has been a day to citizens of this community,
when they want to get out of town nothing being here to
hold their interest and so they have gone far and wide
to seek their pleasures elsewhere.
Now, with somthing real to celebrate, it seems that the
community could get together next year and stage a real
jubilee. Maybe the old costumry of 1884 could be brought
into general use for the occasion; maybe we might steal Cen
tralia's thunder and grow beards (the men) and wear "old
time" clothes (easily the men and perhaps the women) ; may
be we could make something out of it that would lie remem
liered until a centennial celebration was in order.
We hope the committees find the celebration idea an ex
cellent one; and then we sincerely hope the entire community
will support it in every way possible. . And let us start that
active preparation and give our support to this plan right
now. It is none too soon to begin arrangements for a cele
bration such as should be given.
Let's show the railroad we are grateful for the boost it
gave us nearly 50 years ago!

La Grande is making its preparations this week for a gigantic NRA celebration to
be held here Saturday evening, with all of the county invited to participate. There
will be a great parade, a display of fireworks, street dancing and other features on
the program.
Back of it all, however, is the launching of the "Buy Now" campaign, sponsored
by the NRA nationally. Many weeks have been spent in getting the Blue Eagle's
wings over national industries, merchants' operations, etc., and now, in order to keep
those protective wings at their full spread, the second phase of the NRA program
begins the plan to stimulate buying, which in turn will stimulate production, make
present jobs safe and probably create some new jobs.
So we must all begin to act in the "Buy Now" drive. Our jobs, our neighbors' job,
our national return to a measure of prosperity, depend upon increased business. It
it no time to hold back the dollars, the quarters and dimes. A dollar's circulative power
is estimated at Urn times its face value in two weeks time so every dollar put in
circulation now, means payment of $10 worth of bills;: And "bills" may mean salaries,
just as well as old obligations. By payin? old obligations, you help the merchant to
pay his help.
Of course, there are some that the "Buy Now" campaign hardly affects. We speak
of those still on the unemployed list, who exist precariously, and to whom a dime looks
bigger than a ten-dollar bill. Little can be expected of them in the "Buy Now" cam
paign, hut they are looking to it with as much eagerness as the rest of us, who are
still on the payroll. They probably will spend their nickels and dimes more eagerly
than the rest, because it may be that if if the "Buy Now" campaign succeeds, there
might develop a job someplace which they, too, could obtain. Their hope is spread
of employment; our hope is to hold what we have.
It's up to us all! The man who shows the Blue Eagle already has done his part
we who signed the consumer's pledge, must now do ours. '
Now is the time to buy!

To The Editor:
May I express my hearty apprecia
tion of Tour editorial "In NamA nf
Defense" In the Observer. As you
say. If the armament race "weren't
so expensive and so dangerous It
would be good for a fine laugh." It
Is expensive, so expensive that $4 50
for every minute since Christ was
born Would be no morA than enmieh
to represent what the nations are
atwiiuiiiK on so-cajiea aeiense mis

out, when one builds the others must,
or eacn must De stronger than the
other otherwise no one is safel But
it s the most expensive practical Joke
the world ever played on Itself.
The activities of William RhMr
exposed during the Hoover adminis
tration, explain much of why we
waste such enormous, sums on pre
paration for international suicide
While millions Starve. This mnn r
celved 51.230 for his services in pre
venting reauction ol armaments at
the Geneva conference In 1827. Later
he . sued his employers, the three
largest ship building corporations In
America, for S355.655, the balance

of taxpayers money would never have
vtxu worse man wasted in competi
tive armaments If it had not been
for his activities. His employers are
the ones who have secured the chief
contracts for that part of our new
238.000,000 navy which Is being built
in private yaras.
It Is to Drevent such Rham.r,ii
dangerous competition that the world
disarmament conference hn.
working for more than a year. The
inuuitiun maaers stand to lose count
less millions in profits If It succeeds;
civilization mav collsnu. if tt faiiB
for there is Just one end to such a
race and that Is war.
I am sure that the committee ap
pointed by the newly organized High
School P. T. A. to arrange a meet
Ing in support of the conference will
nJDCAU- DBEDIElFjr
have every support.
Finally, your editorial reveals you
as a man with a sense of humor. Cer
tainly there Is no better target for
that humor than the ghastly Joke of
war and the vain hope that prepara
tion for war will prevent it. They
say that chivalry was laughed out of
existence by a book "Don Quixote."
Ridicule may be one of the effective
ways by which we rid the world of
Its ancient habit of the slaughter of
its youth in war.
