US Income in Ratio to Farm
Prosperity Declares EcUeman
ine national income of the
United States rises and falls in the
same ratio as does the farm in
come, Charles Eckleman, promin-
f . . .....
vrcgon aairyman, told'the Sa
lem Lions club Thursday ' noon.
The speaker maintained this might
be taken as proof that' agriculture
is still the basis of the national
economy.
Because this country will be
left at the close of the war with
a heavy national debt, it will be
bankrupt should the national in
come drop within the next lifetime
of this generation to the low point
of 1832, Eckleson believes. .

"The only way to remain sol
vent as a nation is to retain a
high national income," he declared,
pointing out that a fair income to
agricultural labor and fair returns
to holders of farm property should
thus Be considered ' vital n
citizens. Agriculture nrovldes 24W
per cent of the nation's employ
ment, co per cent of its raw mater
ial, he said.
There was no agricultural sur
plus in 1932. but there was unfor.
consumption. -according tn Tfci
man. Selective service examina
tions have revealed the reesult nf
years of under-nourishment for
some of the country's vouth. armr.
ding to the Owner anri ntwratnii nt

Features of the Lions luncheon
were the "arrest and conwiction"
or a allegedly masquerading as
Tailtwister Leo Reimann and the
presentation of civilian defense
service ribbons to five club mem
bers in recognition of "500 hours
in bondage." Jesse Gard, club
member and Marion county fi
nance committee chairman, deliv
ered the ribbons to A. W. Smither,
R. W. "Joe" Land, Douglas Yeater,

Bothel Mayor
Worries Over
Dog Problem
t BOTHELL, Wash., April 20HJP)
-Mayor-elect Joe Ryan is a dog
lover of lone-standing hut h ai
is a man concerned with war-
caused municipal problems such
as the continuous juxtaposition of
dogs and fireplugs.
Sice rationing, Bothell has had
more than its rightful quota of
dogs, due to the fact, its citizens
say, that city people were aban
doning their pets outside Seattle
because they hadn't enough meat
to feed them.
Mayor-elect Ryan said he def
initely felt that such congregating
around fireplugs constituted an
affront to the civic dignity of
Bothell, a town of about 1,500 a
few miles north of Seattle.
So today the mayor-elect, after
considerable mulling over the
problem, arrived at the conclu
sion that, inasmuch as fireplugs
play only a passive part in the
situation, the obvious thing to do
was to re-educate the dogs.
... Equipped with a bucket of white
paint,-brushes, dressed in a cow
boy suit and ten-gallon hat, and
mounted on his finest horse (the
mayor-elect is also the richest
man in town), Ryan proceeded to
paint the town's fireplugs white
instead of their customary yellow.'
This, said the mayor-elect,
would throw all canine visitors
into the utmost confusion. He said
that being a student of canine psy
chology he was positive that the
barkers want no part of anything
white.
Results of his first municipal
work is being awaited.
Bothel may be a small town,
but it's not going to be dull with
the new mayor in office.
Elected without opposition, Ryan
ran on a platform of "I stand for
everything."
