One Senator in discussing this subject summed it up briefly ‘The tax|>ayeni back home will woinh r why such a program is necessary. It seeing to me that the program now proposed is just another at tempt to engage in propaganda all over the I’m tot States, in an endeavor to sell the American ¡sxiple on the unwise schemes of the state dv|»nrtment. Out Confidence in the City Confidence in the city and its progress plans was ably expressed recently by one of the town’s most active but quiet supporters, W. H. Daugherty. He bought the city’s $225,000 sewer bonds after they could not be sold to anyone else at an advantage. This interest in a cause must be highly com mended. For the benefit of those who have not followed the pic ture closely, may we point out that in November, 1950 the people authorized $400,000 in sewer bonds to put in a new system and sewage disposal plant, called a sanitary necessity by the State Sanitary Authority. This spring it was found that only $300,000 was necessary to build the system, and bids on bonds were called for. Sole bid was received at 98 per cent of par and at 3.495 percent interest from the First National Bank of Cottage Grove. Councilmen felt that this was not an advantageous bid for the city due to the high interest rate. So the bonds were re-advertised. At the second opening the bank lowered its interest rate to 3.3 but still offered to buy them at only 98 per cent of par. Main reason for the lowered rate was that the council decided that due to the low bids on the disposal plant con struction it was only necessary to sell $225.000 of the bonds. Mr. Daugherty took an interest in the situation and bid on the bonds at par value and at 3 percent interest, thus saving the city almost $9,000 in interest o v e r a 20-year period. “I thought your bonds Were worth at least par,” he told councilmen. Perhaps the biggest thing about the sewer bond sale was that it shows the people of Cottage Grove »hat a local man, big in his way, has confidence in the plans of the city. (JHG) Bonus Check Graft We must enter a protest against the ethics of a Portland man, one of the original strong proponents of the Oregon veterans’ bonus, in selling names of veterans about to receive their checks to businessmen as a money-making venture. This sort of action has an unpleasant ring to it, and is just one more instance of cheating the veteran. The same thing happened when insurance refunds were mailed by the government, with stories making the rounds over the country of business encouraging credit against the refunds. Lee C. Swafford of Portland, who conceived the idea of selling the lists, has been stopped, we hope permanently, fol lowing protests from the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and businessmen themselves. This .nan even claimed there was nothing irregular about the idea, but the veterans groups and wise businessmen thought so. According to reports Swafford got the lists from a mail list firm which in turn claimed records came from county clerks where veterans had discharges certified after the war. He said he got a commission on the sales. The. e is one bright spot to the story. William F. Gaaren- stroom, state director of veterans affairs, said the list prob ably was not accurate, as bonus application files had been kept secret. We trust that all such cases of corruption such as this will continue to be uncovered by watchful businessmen and veterans’ groups. (JHG) SLEEPING ROOMS for rent. Pleasant, clean, cool, reasonable.
