OUR DEMOCRACY
TODAY
Lota of people say they never united with any church be
cause there are too many hypocrites in the church, but there has
never been a case on record where such attitude enabled the per
son who reasoned thus to enter a better world. Pact is this
method of reasoning will probably permit you to keep company
with the hypocrites throughout eternity by going to hell with
them.
Also there are business men in every town who won’t have
anything to do with the Chamber of Commerce because they
don’t like the officers of the Chamber of Commerce or what the
Chamber of Commerce does and apparently the number is plenti
ful here. Just who is the Chamber of Commerce to be and will
it help the community if you refuse to cooperate with a commun
ity organisation of this kind!
The point we are getting at is that the holiday season is
upon us. We can create a holiday spirit here and keep a lot more
business here by helping to make the proper holiday setting.
And we can do this by decorating our places of business and our
homes and helping the Chamber o f Commerce decorate the prin
cipal thoroughfares of the town. If Christmas decorations bring
business to other localities it should help here. Now is the time
to plan to get your share of the Christmas business.
After holiday complaints about business going out of town
does not ring the cash register nor add anything to the holiday
spirit the public has a right to expect during the next four or
five weeks.
BUSINESS GOES ALONG.
While the defense drive goes right along, biggest post-elec
tion business news is the three-point governmental financial pro-
, gram disclosed by Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau. It
involves: raising the “ ceiling” on the national debt from $45,-
000,000,000 to $60- or $65,000,000,000; removing the tax-exempt
feature on future issues of government securities (and possibly
municipal bonds as w ell); and expectation of new and higher
taxes. All this stirred, for the umpteenth time in recent years,
talk of inflation. In turn, that produced a flurry of stock price
rises, of from one to eight points, and of heavy buying of com
modities. While that might seem paradoxical to some, i t ’s logical,
because inflation merely means that a given dollar won’t buy
as much—of anything—as it did before the inflation occurred.
So the buying rush was merely to buy now while one can get
more for his money. It applies the same to stocks and securities
as to commodities, or an automobile, or a piece of furniture.

HOW NOT TO ENTER THE PEARLY OATES.
In considering the possibilities of Cottage Grove, a press re
lease front the United States travel bureau, department of in
terior is worthy of consideration by the Chamber of Commerce,
or perhaps the Junior Chamber of Commerce might be the logi
cal organization to refer this to There is a little town over in
New Mexico, know’n as Madrid, twenty miles south of Santa Fe,
the state capital, that annually attracts 60.000 visitors at Christ
mas time. This little mining town in the mountains has capitaliz
ed on the Christmas spirit, the project is financed entirely by
400 employes of a coal company. This year as in the past, the
little town will be ablaze with Christmas lighting from Decem
ber 10th to January 2nd. The governor of the state will again
throw the switch that will light avenues of festooned arches,
miles of living Christmas trees and gigantic candles. More than
40,000 electric lights are required for the display.
Cottage Grove could not do this of course, is what you will
hear the first time this is mentioned. But Cottage Grove has
better possibilities than Madrid so far as the natural setting is
concerned. Naturally we would not expect to start off with 40,-
000 lights, but there has to be a beginning and a small start has
been made in this direction. This would be a good project for the
junior organization to display some pep and get-up on.

organized by 15 growers of this
grass in western Oregon. Oscar
Lee of Silverton Is president of
the group and Robert Rieder, act
ing county agent from Marion
county, is secretary.
This grass was introduced some
years ago by the Oregon experi
ment station under the name of
tall fescue, but this name has not
yet been recognized by the United
States department of agriculture
for use in interstate commerce.
The new organization will attempt
to get the name officially estab
lished and will also distribute
seed to experiment s t a t i o n s
throughout the United States for
trial under various conditions.
This grass has proved to be un
usually well suited to some of the
rather heavy wet soils for pasture
purposes, and is also doing well
as either a summer or winter pas
ture on some of the hill lands. It
has a remarkably large root sys
tem which extends deep into sub
soils, which accounts for Its re
maining green late In the summer.
