Doleman A great deal of interest was manifest in the recent Re publican National Convention. This week the Democratic Convention is convening for a similar session. And. no doubt, now we will hear how bad the Republicans are. Much radio listening will be necessary to obtain a little news, but this is our American way of selecting candidates for the highest positions we have to offer. You can and should show your preference by voting for those of your choice when the prop er time comes. If you have allowed your registration to lapse, or if you are not registered at all, better visit the Justice of the Peace, or some other registering agency. There will also be the names of candidates for state and local positions appearing on the November ballot. These of fices are likewise important and should be staffed with effi cient men and women who have the interest of their commu nity at heart. You should help select those whom you feel are best qualified for the service they are to perform. It will be necessary to elect a mayor and one councilman from each ward, also the treasurer and recorder. There should be, and probably are, persons interested in sharing the responsibility of local government. The city recorder will be glad to explain the process and assist anyone in the pro cedure by which they may place their names upon the No vember ballot for the position they desire. Monetary consideration is of little consequence to those on the council, but there is some satisfaction in helping to provide the service that is necessary to the community in which we live. The work is honorable, interesting and educa tional, and a duty that some citizens must perform. So why not have a part in it Start your ball rolling now. Unselfish Service It may be hard to believe, but there are still many who are willing to go a long way toward helping their fellow men. What may be more surprising is the fact that these people Actually enjoy the work of human rehabilitation, if it may be called that. We refer to the activities of the Alco holics Anonymous members. It ia-jnothing unusual for an AA member to spend 24 hours or more giving encouragement to a fellow in distress. In fact the AA is based on the principle of unselfish service and it is this service that has earned for the AA an enviable reputation; a reputation that has not been matched by any modern social organization. The fact that the AA member can see the viewpoint of the yictim needing help is perhaps the main factor in the success of the organization, if it may be called an organiza tion. Also the willingness of the AA member to stay by those in nqed of help is perhaps the biggest factor in the rehabili tation program, which is without peer in its success. • • • Significantly Congress did far more than stop government pow er to control consumer credit, and to cut down the powers of the OPS or Office Plenty Screwy. Unnoticed. Congress took an even more important step. • These facts, without adorn ment, caused readers of weekly newspapers across the nation to protest to their Congressmen. After all. In the big cities, there are people who can be persuad ed that whatever sounds silly is really not silly. But high flown theories do not ring true in the smaller cities and towns of the nation. weekly news- pa p e r x of America have stood alone In bringing forth National Advertising Representative But in recent months, facts not covered by the big dailies have been brought to small cities and towns of America. • • Congress at the same time passed a measure to aid and en courage American newsprint production. An attempt will now be made to combat the foreign monopoly squeezing the life-blood out of independent newspaper». • • • Action was taken despite pre vious protests by. State Secretary Dean Acheson that nothing should be done to antagonize Canadian newsprint producers despite constant price increases totalling more than 150%. « • • In these regions, where the vote is controlled, nonsense is still looked upon as nonsense. Sincere Congressmen of both parties voice pleasure over re ceiving so many expressions ot opinions from the solid people who read weekly newspapers. Typical comment: "We had a feeling that many things, if they were known, would not set too well with these people, but un til we had something coacrete to go on. it's hard to disprove the theory boys." Many Congressmen give the weekly newspapers full credit for recent acts curtailing the power of the government to med dle in private business and lives. Many Contres n feel this situation is heal.ay. are pre pared to act to aid weekly news papers buy newsprint on a com petitive market. • • » In Washington leaders of inde pendent business have long urged Congressmen to protect Naturally, bureaucrats who the free American press from have lost power, or position be monopoly exploitation.

Hugh Trunncll TY.i» Cottage Grow area had a distinguished visitor this week end in the form of Roliert Shott. vice consul to Greece, and his wife and two daughters. The Shott», with Edwin Allen of Eugene, were Sunday visitors at the luime of Mr. Allen's |sir- ents. Mr. and Mix. Wolff Allen Miss Marianne Croiian of Salem also was a guest. The group had a picnic at Cbttnge Grove lake. Mr. Shott is on vacation from his duties and will return to Grectv on September 1 He and Edwin Allen were friends while attending the University of Ore gon. LUMBERMAN NAMED HEAD OF KEEP OREGON GREEN Strangers -joining into Cottage Grove often have con- siderfeble difficu.ty in locating street addresses because many streets are not marked, or else the marker has not been destroyed. This project was once undertaken by an organiza tion And a good job was done, but the markers have not been keptrup. Keeping up the markers would be a good project for some individual or organization. To pay their share of the federal debt, Oregonians would have< to sell all the personal property and real estate in Ore gon—and then would be almost one billion dollars short of the tiark. This fact was stated today by F. C. Baker of Portland, president of Baker Barkon Co. and Oregon member of the Government Economy committee of the National Association of N^anufacturers, in illustrating the enormous size of the natidnal debt, which now stands at $260 billion. Oregon’s share of the debt is $2,548,000,000; the as sessed value of all personal and real property in the state is $1,605,000,000. ?As a means of stopping the extravagant spending poli cies ef the government that have led us into this “in-the-red” spending, the government should establish a debt ceiling of $265’billion,” Baker said. He stated that an “unswerving debt limitation” would be a bulwark against further money and credit inflation result ing from government spending. A similar recommendation was made in a report on the subject by Dr. Harley Lutz, professor emeritus of public finance at Princeton University. , The necessity for putting a ceiling on the debt is clearly seen’when we realize that the debt has climbed from $16 billioii in 1930 to $260 billion today—an increase of over 1500* <,” Baker said. ’’In view of the failure of other ways of controlling ex penditures, the final resort is to set a firm limit or ceiling on the public debt,” Baker concluded.

Piwne: 760 What Other Newspapers Think Hubbub Over Springfield’s Industrial Promotion A very complicated situation faces the people of Springfield in the proposal to have the City sub sidize a smelter plant by contrib uting $10,000 to the cost of a site. Title to the site under considera tion rests in the now inactive Flax Cooperative which was promoted in the late thirties and the ques tions affecting the site seem to be these: In the beginning the land was owned by the City of .Springfield. To promote the Flax Coopera- tive, title was transferred to the State of Oregon to conform to certain requirements for Federal flax subsidy. In the transfer to the State, the customary provision for reversion to the City was omitted so that the State could meet Federal re quirements of clear title. When the site ceased to be used as a flax plant, the legislature was induced to convey title to the Flax Cooperative. Now comes Attorney Edwin C. Harms Jr., who maintains that morally the land should have been given back to the City and he pro tests the City Council’s determin ation to donate $10,000 toward the purchase of what was once its own land. The real question before the people of Springfield (and the same question is bound to arise in, Eugene and many other cities) is whether the City should be en gaged in industrial promotions at all. In effect, the reply of the City Council is that "everybody’s doing it,” calling attention to much re cent promotion by states and cit- Cottage Grove Sentinel ÎH0U5HAITN0ÏKII O'BRIEN'S STORE —Eugene Register-Guard PREPARED AND SPONSORED FOR THE PUBLIC BY We Give Dividend Stamps STEELE'S GROfEKY A KM hl 1,’S Ilie Store on Dorena Lake Shore
