Oregon's Debt, Present
And Prospective
A proposal is before the legislature to renew
authority to the highway commission to issue
bonds to advance highway construction. The
Statesman has been disposed to favor it because
of' the pressure of need for highway moderni
sation. At the same time it is in order to see
what our debt status is and how it may be af
fected by this and other proposed issues.
The gross bonded debt of the state on January
1, 1951 was $32,488,350, divided as follows:
Oregon District interest bonds $ 313,350
State highway bonds 1 2,100,000
' Veterans State Aid bonds,
(World War I) - 4,375,000
Veterans' Welfare bonds
- (World War II) 25,000,000
Reforestation bonds ; : 700,000
J Total $32,488,350
This is not as bad as it looks, for the net debt
niter deducting sinking funds and other assets
Applying against the indebtedness was $2,502,
19. v
However there is leeway under the constitu
tion for issuing bonds to limits as follows:
Tor highways 1 $64,000,000
For veterans' bonus
For veterans' loans
For reforestation
For underwriting higher educa
tion building bonds 12,000,000
For state power 96,000,000
The last item has been dormant for many
years, and it is not probable the state will vent
ure i into the power business anytime soon.
Bonds for the veterans bonus probably will not
exceed $52,000,000. The sale of reforestation
bonds after allowing for bond redemptions and
the total is issued the operations may be self
liquidating. But if bonus bonds in the amount of $32,000,
000 are issued, and highway bonds of $60,000,
600 and veterans welfare loan bonds to the
mount of $25,000,000 additional the gross debt
el the state plus $7,000,000 in higher education
bonds after allowing for bond redemptions and
retirements would be approximately $177,000,
000. This would make the per capita gross debt
$117, second only to Delaware whose 1950 per
capita debt was $241.29. Other states in the high
brackets are , Louisiana at $84.46, Connecticut,
$79.23, Pennsylvania $76.65, Washington $40.56
and California $24.88. Oregon's per capita gross
debt in 1950 was $24.57, and the national aver
age $35. This is one factor used in determining
bids on bonds.
The per capita net debt of course is smaller,
about $97. And one saving grace as far as the
general taxpayer is concerned is that several of
the issues are serviced by special funds: high
way bonds from gas tax and motor vehicle re
venues; veterans' loans from repayments of
principal and interest on loans; reforestation
from sales of timber products; higher education
building bonds from collections on the several
campuses. What will fall on the general fund of
the state unless a special tax is levied is the
debt service on the bonus bonds.
All of this is presented by way of information,
so when bond issues are considered we know
lust how deep the state is getting in and how
the bonds will be paid off. We do not want ever
to 'get in the tight squeeze the state was in in

Those ; suspicious of any power tie - in with
California shouldn't have much to say after
news on Monday that the northwest power pool
had to draw power fpem Montana and British
Columbia to carry the load in Washington, Ore

had said, "no export"?
In the case of California our export should be
only a surplus power. It might work this way:
a the Columbia has quite an even flow, but de
mand for energy falls off at night. Then the ex
tra production of Bonneville could be used in
California and power plants at some of its hydro
plants shut down to increase storage in reser
voirs. Under proper regulation this interchange
could be mutually beneficial. As it has been the

Two-Front Fishing War
The fishing interests at Astoria appear to be
facing both ways. They have urged .that in the
proposed treaty with Japan protection be given
to American fishing interests against enroach
ment from ; the tJapanese who before the war
were invading waters formerly fished by Amer
icans, both in the eastern Pacific and in waters
t
Now Gordon Sloan, Astoria attorneyhas gone
as a US representative to attend a meeting in
Costa Rica of a new international commission
which will try to work out an agreement on
tuna fishing. Astoria canners now, according to
the Astorian-Budget, are processing tuna caught
in Japanese and Central American waters. As
the A-B' says: ;"Naturally a fishery resource
that provides steady, year-round cannery em
ployment is of vital importance." :
The inlander finds it difficult to reconcile the
two points of view. If foreign fishermen are to
be kept out of American fishing grounds can we
claim the privilege of fishing in the waters oth
er nations claim; as their own.
The ocean of course is public domain and
whalers of all nations ranged the oceans for
their catch. But; certain portions are restricted
to nationals. Witness the long fight John and
John Quincy Adams waged to retain for New
England fishermen the right of fishing off New
foundland. Maybe the Astorian-Budget can
show there is no inconsistency in waging war
on two fronts. lit can, it should.
Over at Monmouth the registrar of the college
reports an increase of 10 per cent in the num

enrolled 504 are preparing to teach. This is a
very practical response to opportunity. The best
prospect for teaching jobs now is in elementary
schools, especially in primary grades. With the
certain increase in school enrollment due to the
higher birth rate, those teaching jobs will not
fade as time goes on. The law of supply and

Quotes Wendell Phillips
On Free Government
To the Editor:
In reading "Critics and Cru
saders" I am struck with some
of the sayings of great men, and
how the words uttered in the
today. Showing his f ove for and
1850's and 60's seem to fit in
pride In our country, Wendell
Phillips said "We have done
what no race, no nation, no age,
had before even dared to try. We
have founded a republic on the
unlimited suffrage of the mil
lions. We have actually worked
out the problem that man, as
God created him may be trusted
with self-government,
But he also sees it isn't a per
fect state, there are conditions
that make life intolerable for
some even in a democracy. Quot
ing again: "When a nation sets
itself to do evil, and all its lead
ing forces, wealth, party and
piety, join in the career, it is im
possible but that those who offer
a constant opposition should be
hated and maligned, no matter
how wise, cautious and well
planned their course may be.
He fervently acclaimed the rights
of the dissenter and the insur
gent, maintining that not to give
free scope to an opponent was
evidence of a lack of faith In
one's own opinions. To act other
wise was to nullify the creed
upon which our nation was
founded! "Men are educated and
the state uplifted by allowing all
everyone to broach their
mistakes and advocate all their
errors. The nation which dares
not protect its humblest and most
hated member in the free utter
ance of his opinions, no matter
how false or how hateful, is only
a gang of slaves." Again I con
fess that the only fear I have in
regard to republican institutions
is whether in our day, any ade
quate remedy will be found for
the incoming flood of the power
of incorporated wealth.' Shall
we today be less awake to the
dangers from that power? God
keep us alert to such danger!

Your Health
Blocked Air-Tube in Lung
Blocking of even one of the
bronchi, the little air-tubes of
the lung, may lead to severe
symptoms. Sueh blocking can re
sult from a variety of causes, in
cluding the inhaling of a foreign
object, the plugging of a bron
chus by mucus, and its narrow
ing due to the formation of scar
tissue.
In many instances, this block
ing is the only disturbance in the
lung; at other times it follows
Some .other disorder, such as
asthma, preventing recovery or
making the original condition
worse. Symptoms depend on the
location of the block, the degree
of its severity, what has produced
it, and the condition of the sur
rounding lung tissue.
',
When the blocking becomes
severe enough, air often can be
breathed in, but cannot be ex
haled, or breathed out. As a re
sult, the air sacs in the lung be
come stretched. This is known as
emphysema.
When the blocking of the bron
chus is complete; the air sacs
arourd this bronchus collapse.
The one symptom which is al
ways present when . there is
blocking is cough. In addition, the
patient may bring up thin, frothy
sputum. If there is infection pre
sent, the sputum may have a
foul odor. In some cases, there is
also wheezing. Abnormal sounds
during the breathing, called rales
are usually present.
X-ray examination is of much
value in making the diagnosis
certain. Examination with a
bronchoscope, which is made up
. of a tube and a light also is help
ful in determining Just where
the blocking is located) and the
nature of the obstruction. The
bronchoscope can be passed Into
the bronchus making it possible
for the doctor to look directly
into the lung. Sometimes, a
foreign body or a - plug of mucus
may be removed through ' the
bronchoscope, thus relieving the
condition. Once the cause of the obstruc
tion is found, the most helpful
-type of treatment can be carried
out. Operative measures are re
quired in some instances. ;
