State Bonus for Veterans It was too much for the taxpayer to expect that the word "bonus" wouldn't be mentioned in the state legislature. But this may be said for the resolution of Representative Paul Hen dricks: it merely would create an interim committee to study the question of a bonus to veterans of world war II and report back at the next legislature. Other states have not been as deliberate. The state bonus issue already has been met in some states and is pending in other legislatures this winter. One state. Maine, defeated two-to-one a proposal for a bonus cf $16,000,000; Missouri, Louisa n a and Indiana side tucked bills without action. In the November election, how ever, the bonus advocates obtained approval in five states as follows: California. $100,000,000; Illinois, $385,000,000; Michi gan S270.000.000; Rhode Island, $20,000,000, Texas $25,000,000. Considering the size and wealth of Texas and its oft-asserted claim to having won the war (with a little help from 47 states) the siy of the bonus is surprisingly low. The Dtily Bond Buyer of January 29 gave a summary of pending measures for a state bonus, as follows: Killed by House of Reps., 1946 State Millions of Dollars Indefinite 5) 50 40 9) 80 IS Indefinite C'onne t.cut tierf is I rid unm I m l.oui.-ian Mi -y iant MaKttrhuttS Minnetwtla fw 'J-rey Nw Yorfc ( )h in Prniuijlvfina South DtiMCta Ttxm 170-180 45 100 100-200 400 325-500 400 20-30 3K)-5O0 100 2.871 800 87 G I airtt T tl 3 648 AiWrt :-30-4T This :,.t is not complete because the question will be raised In other Mates as well Pkh to 1944. California, Oregon, New Hampshire and V-i mnt had authorid state aid to veterans, but on a loan oi -lf-!-dating basis. After rhe first world war many states showed gratitude to ther eteran by means of a bonus. Oregon granted $13 a nioMh for each month of service after the first 60 days. Loan prt t'.efts on real property also were extended to veterans. The argument is valid that compensation of veterans is primal ily a national duty: and it cannot be said that the, f-deml f)ernment his been neglectful of this obligation.' N- f rtki 1 s?. it is hsrd to resist the appeal to do something; f - the veterans, particularly for those in politics. And those, a ho stayed safely at home have little heart to object to a bonus, even ir they believe it may oe detrimental to tne publx as a whole. In the present case, the veterans themselves night well think twice, for the burden will fall primarily or. tlii-m. Hospital at Camp White Th- favorable report respecting Camp White hospital given b a legislative committee gives hope that it may offer aj solution to the pressing need for added facilities for care of n '-tit ally The Slem hospital is badly overcrowded and ; I'vuiUton must be full to capacity too. While appropriations for! ii-- it ruction at Salem are made, building costs and diffi-J ciltus have forced pitponement. The funds are not enough: f :llv to modernize and expand the Salem hospital. Tbe physical plant at Camp White is very good, and would bt n.4Muitely available, probably at 100 per cent discount j t the Hate. Remaining problems to be figured on are pro-; f ,. -..oi oil whether a proper staff can be assembled for the 1 n w hutnpital; and second, operating costs. It might be that on fiiitmg, it would he found that the running expenses would h far ki excess of the savings made possible through a free g rt of the (.ant. Tl.tic is a constitutional question, to be sure, since the state constitution i.miU institutions of the sUite to Marion county. H ut-f an amendment would be submitted to the voters for th-i: approval, and in the meantime it might be considered lawful f r th Siiiem institution to operate Camp White as a temporary bia:uh. poinding such vo'e j W-hat a relief it would be if the overload at Salem could j l ti Mttleired to Camp White, and the state be spared the j a und44t mti I -criticism mat comes over conditions at me local h npital! l imiting Chiropractic One biil pending in the legislature, SB 287. has created a division among chiropractors. One group sponsors the bill; another irioup oppfs tt. The present law bars chiropractors frum wMlmg prescriptions or dispensing drugs, from practicing optorm-Wy or natucap-ithy or major surgery. The proposed bill w-niW also pcehioit chiropractors to practice 'medicine, obstetiHS or do sur-?ry." Dtoefgaftiing the division of opinion among those licensed to engage in chiropractic as a healing art, the public interest. It woukJ seem, would be better served by including these pro visions in the law. Chiropractic theory scoffs at medicine, so the pif?eed ban accords with its theory. Likewise, in view of the many times that obstetrics runs into surgery the public h-alth would be better served to confine such practice to lutn.Mtl -fhyiicians and surgeons. It is always a temptation for those engaged in one form of heating art to get over the line into another branch, and policing the professions is not an easy task. The sharper the definition of eaeti branch the easier the enforcement. In the cae of SB 287 the legislature might well overlook the divided opirttoM among chiropractors and approve the bill as in the interest of public health and safety. NLRB reversed a finding of its trial examiner and ruled a ga i nrt taoor unions in a case brought against newspapers in St. Petersburg, Fla. Evidently the NLRB scanned election relurns too. Redent of Berlin are said to be learning to speak English and Ruwsiart. Majrbe they figure that then they will be able to run in either direction. It is reported- that a bill is in preparation that would prohibit any legislator from having a liquor permit. "That's joke, sen;" they den't need one.

"I sess there Isn't any point In waitlnr Congress Isn't golnx to do away with the luxury tax! ITKTlfTTTa (Continued from Page 1) basis for injustice to its children, j The legislature must be fair to i the more than 56,000 Portland 1 school children out of a little over i 250.000 enrolled in the state. The formula in the original HB 9 would have given only $2,258,000 1 out of the $16,000,000 fund only j 14 per cent while its school enroll ment amounts to 22 per cent Even the readjusted formula which gives Portland $2,621,000 seems a bit short of equity. The difference comes, as we understand it in the size of the equalization fund. Such a fund is needed to even up educational opportunity; but it ought not to work to bolster up weak and in effective schools which had better be consolidated into stronger and more efficient as well as economic units. In evening up inequality the state should nqt perpetuate poor education. It is of prime importance that the first bill be made as just and as accurate as possible, because future change reopens the whole issue. There will be dissatisfac tion, whatever the formula; but the legislature is giving the prob lem earnest consideration and will make every effort to arrive at as fair a solution as possible under the terms of the law and the realities of education in Ore gon.
