No Fast Writeoffs for Steel '

lion dollars. At present steel Is not on the
eligible list for such consideration. The mills,
citing the need for increasing their capacity,
jask that they be restored to the favored lbt
The Statesman believes their ' petitions
should be denied and that the fast amortiza
tion program be cancelled, or reserved for
'companies actually needing the assistance for
the manufacture of particular defense com
ponents. This amortization gives the holder
a tax advantage, permitting him to amortize
his investment over a five-year term. This
-has the effect of deferring his tax obligation
iot that period. The government eventually

Supervision for New C-op
Ten have been arrested on federal charges
growing out of promotion of plywood coop
ratives in this area. The processes of law
will be employed to determine their guilt on
innocence. What we do want to point out
here is the lack of supervision in the organ
ization of cooperatives which is In contrast
with requirements covering formation of
corporations. Those who organize a corpora
tion must obtain a permit from the state
corporation commissioner. This official checks
the record of the organizers, examines their
prospectus, and if he approves of the under
taking, fixes regulations covering the form
ative period. Limits are set on the commis
sions that may be paid stock salesmen. Funds
must be deposited in banks and accounted
for. Every effort, is made to insure the in
vestors that they are being dealt with fairly
and are not being fleeced by some get-rich-quick
gentry.
We know of no such supervision of new
cooperatives. General laws would apply
against fraud or misappropriation of funds,
but there is nq legal policing of the financing
to insure the capital will go into the business
proposed. This leaves a wide open door for
exploitation. In the" case of plywood cooper
atives, it was the more Inviting because of
"The phenomenal success of certairi" early cfr"
operatives manufacturing plywood.
The word cooperative carries a wholesome
connotation. Laws have encouraged forma
tion of cooperatives, particularly in agricul
ture, for marketing and for purchasing. This
may account for the lack of scrutiny given by
state officials over formation of coops. In
view of the experience of purchasers of
shares in some of these manufacturing co
operatives, the Legislative Assembly might
very well study the situation to see if those
who organize cooperatives should not be put
under supervision similar to that of corpora
tion promoters.

Halt H-Bomb Testing?
Arguing over whether to halt tests of H
bombs has engaged the principals in the pres
idential race. Candidate Stevenson urges that
the tests be halted. Candidate Eisenhower
says it would be foolish to announce a halt,
leaving the way clear for Russia to continue
its experiments. This issue is hardly one on
which the public can have an informed opin
ionnor Stevenson himself for that matter.
It is a question for the authorities, military
and civil, to decide. We see no virtue in pop
ping off bigger bombs, for those already tried
out are devastating enough; but there doubt
less is need to test types of bombs both to
determine their military values and how they
may best be handled. Other issues, it seems
to this paper, will arouse more popular inter

now are those that win votes.

must not go too far and too fast,
Bulganin warned, with the process-

to strengthen the Polish Com

Yet the Polish ferment con

"Not by a federal damsite," said the wife. "It's just
that It costs money."
"I've had occasion to state many times on the floor of
this house," shouted the husband (waving one hand aloft),
"and I'll say it again and again while I have a breath to
breath with, namely that I have always striven for a balanced
budget in this family."
"You've striven all right," said the wife. "But you've
never arriven. You always act like the best way to get rid
of our surplus cash is to plow under every other dollar."
"You and your deTicit spending," shouted the man (clamp

which have undercut my bold, fearless leadership in main

said the wife. "What makes you think you've earned the
right to desert your home and family and engage in uni

supposed to be a bi partisan affair?"
"I'll concede," stated the man, "that fishing Is a
two-party program, all right. The first party being the
angler and the second party, the fish. And the partner

"Ballyhoo," said the wife. "Smear tactics. Mudljng

in a log cabin,, and ..."
"Look, Buster," said the wife, "just because your natural
resources are slipping, all you want to do anymore is sit

Chadwick was born in South Dakota and came to Oregon in
1899. He entered the hotel business in Salem in 1923.
During his long legislative career Chadwick has served on most
of the major committees of the house. He has often been a mem
ber of the important joint ways and means committee, the house
taxation committee, local government, state and federal affairs,
rules and resolutions and is presently a member of the standing
committee, the legislative counsel.
In commenting on his filing for a seventh term, the Oregon
Vpter said "While he feels a primary loyalty to Marion county in
the matter of appropriations, his record as a legislator is excel
lent; valuable work on ways and means committee: seldom takes
the floor but effective influence on voting; should be re-elected."
In the legislature, Chadwick is known best for his effective work
in committee rooms, where his experience is sought by fellow com
mittee members.

Chancellor Adenauer has an-!
other purpose than just romot-;
ing trade among West Euro
peans. He hopes that a federation
migrt emerge as a challenging
force in world affairs, standing
on its own feet, free of depen
dence on the United States and
free of fear from the Soviet bloc.
Here you have a population of
over 200 million, highly indus
trialized, experienced in govern
' ment and economic management,
rich in culture a potential for
greatness. Confronting the power
centers now existing, East and
West, Western Europe would de
velop as a real third force. Cer
tainly it would constitute a tower
of strength to the free world, for
it is the very seat of freedom
as H has developed in modern
times.
Doubts may arise over whether
continental nations would join
such a federation. France for in
stance is highly Jndisidii.' -'' .
However, the recent agreement
between France and Germany for
return of the Saar to Germany,
which allows France to retain
certain economic advantages, is
a happy augury for further con
solidation of interests of these
old rivals.
What is heartening is to see
We 'rn Europe shake itself out
of the debacle of World War II,
crushing alike to vanquished and
victor, and reassert its vitality,
displaying renewed vigor and re
viving its ambition to function as
a center of influence in world
affairs.
