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:

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.

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
