In a previous w«'»'kh letter. I tokl th«- slor> ot the
attempt made by ihe Administration fortes to slip
I some medical provisions in a bill to amend the
i social security act The principal pur(x»c of the bill
■ was to provide increast'd benefits. Since that bill
was brought to the floor under œnditions which
* permitted neither adequate debate nor the right of
; amendment on th«» floor, the house was required
I either to accept the unnecessary socialised medicine
language along with th«» desirable ('art of th«» bill
or vote against the entire bill There being little
doubt in the minds of any of us that the bill could
| be brought up again minus the objectionable sec-
tion. this first effort was voted down.
As anticii»ated. th«» committee on way» and means
struck out the objectionable paragraph: anil again

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.
