Farms Bigger, Land Prices Higher A recent department of agriculture report shows that farms in Oregon and Washington ' art getting larger and farm land becoming more valuable. The per acre value In Wash ' ington as of March Jst last was $117.82, up toon (rum tha var hpfnr ' In Oreffnn the land value increased $1.28 to $79.79 per acre. .Average farm size grew from 248.8 acres in Washington in 1950 to 270.7 In 1956. In Oregon the average farm size increased to 386.6 acres from 339.8 acres in the same pe riod. ; " ' . These trends have been In progress for !many years the upward trend in values started following the long winter of the de pression with its many farm foreclosures. That land prices continue to go up in the face of declines in commodity prices and farmer income has been something of a surprise. It reflects, 5 however, continued confidence in the land as an investment, also in the ability of farmers to mafcV money in agriculture, especially if they can increase the size of .their farms! That not all farm leaders are prophets of doom in agriculture was evident in the talk of Charles B. Shuman, president of the Amer ican Farm Bureau at the recent convention f Future. Farmers of America, the organiza tion of youth planning on fanning as their vocation. He told his audience that farmers have not yet fully capitalized on the rapid progress in farm technology. He said it was estimated we can increase farm output 40 'per cent by 1973 "Just by applying available knowledge." , That may be too much of an increase for markets to absorb, but the fact that farm leaders do look ahead with optimism is a wel come offset to so much of the gloom spread in recent years. Farming as an occupation is ' not static, and will not be unless it gets bur - dened with too much government regulation. land remains the basis of wealth and the source of subsistence. For those who use it intelligently, it will yield good financial re turns and a desirable mode of living, with a fairly steady increment in value over the years. Land buyers are probably smarter than the land sillers.

Ore., lues., Oct "30, 56 Marine Families: "Go Home" General Pate, commander of the Marines, has ordered home families of Marines sta tioned in Japan. Wives and children have been landing at- West Coast ports, and are they mad They report that the Army and Navy permit their personnel to have families with them in Japan, and smart under what they think is unjust discrimination against Ma rines. The imminence of Thanksgiving and Christmas, traditional family holidays, makes them the more unhappy. General Pate explains that the Marines ' must be a "ready combat force," but that doesn't make clear why their families should be sent back to the homeland. Stateside, Marines have families adjacent to their sta tions, without any noted impairment of their readiness for combat. One would think they would be in better trim for military action if they had enjoyed family life than if they - had to spend all their spare time either in ' barracks or on the streets or in public bars and places of amusement Returning wives of Marines say they paid their own expenses for travel and their own living expenses in Japan, so the government i wasn't put to any cost on their account. The order seems unnecessarily harsh, especially since the combat for which Marines were to be ready seems not as imminent as when they ' went out No one expects the Marines to go softy, but we don't think the Pate order will contribute to making them in morale the elite which the recruiting posters represent them to be. atesnau The real election of President and Vice President occurs December 17th when elect ors meet in the several state capitals and bal lot for filling those offices. As a practical matter the election is decided on Nov. 6th, for electors never renege on their party candi dates. In event there is no majority, the elec tion of President would be made by the House of Representatives, each state having one vote; or if there is no majority for Vice Pres ident' the "Senate would make the choice. There wems not the slightest chance of this occurring for this election. The procedure is outlined in the 12th amendment to the U. S. constitution.

And if there is no one else to blame there is always "the gov ernment," the "they" in Washington or Sa lem. Individuals just don't want to carry their own responsibilities. Credit scarcity has given occasion for fresh criticism of the "they," either the federal re serve bank authorities or the administration. These critics evidently think the sky should be the limit on lending. A San Francisco banker, however, Ransom M. Cook, senior vice president of the American Trust Co. told a convention of consumer finance people that federal reserve bank curbs are desirable to prevent inflationary excesses. He said: "We are perhaps victims of a monotony of prosperity.' "We have come to expect the built-in eco nomic stabilizers that the Government has provided to see us through from the cradle to the crave, and to believe that if we make a mistake, inflation will bail us out." "We have come to believe that a managed economy u infallible. However, people are still people, and we habitually go to extremes."

He said, surprisingly, that he would vote Democratic this time because President Truman's decision to fight in Korea was "The fruitiest thing we've ever done, whereas this Administration wasn't stand ing up to the Communists." There were enough such switch ers to make us wonder whether Stevenson might not cut quite decisively into ,the Eisenhower majority here. But thea we moved aa to another sectioa of town, where the streets were lined r'lh pretty, aewly-built tae-story houses, and we began to And switchers the ether way. There wat the ytang doctor who had Voted for Steven son la 1932, but would veto far Elsenhower this time, becaate "He'd proved himself ene.f the best Presidents we'd ever had." And there was the retired farmer who had voted Democratic all his lile he was "bom and raised that way" but admired Eiaea hower and disliked Stevenson. "I don't like his mud sllnglng," he said. Out in the countryside, as the day drew to a close, we stopped ia at a number of farms, and here and there we began to find switchers again. More im portant, we learned enough to feel sure that many farmers in ' Jasper County, like many farm ers elsewhere, feel discontented and ill-used by the Administra tion. So what did our expedition to the Republican heartland indi-. cate? It teemed to indicate that thert it some small leakage of former Eisenhower votes to Stevenson but not enough for his purposes.

Objects to Subsidies Support for Children To the Editor: The more I listen to and read about the Democratic campaign the more it sounds like the old medicine shows where you buy a bottle of remedy and it heals everything. They are for higher wages and lower prices, more subsidies and lower living costs, national security and scuttling our vital war machines and the draft. In the first place higher wages and high living costs go hand in hand. They raise the minimum wages one year and nullify it the tame year with another raise in wages and prices. They cry for the old folks and then go all out for another raise in wages and prices. Wages and prices should have been stabilized years ago. As for high dams or any dams built by the government, the laborer should think twice about that as his electric bills will be the same regardless as to who builds them. If the government builds them he will have the ad ditional taxes to pay. So many teem to think all the government has to do is to reach in the grab bag and come up with the dough. They may reach in the grabbag all right but you will find it has a hole in the bottom so they can reach right through it all right Jnto your pocket. As to the subsidies they are all wrong. What right have they to tax everyone to pay subsidies to the special ones? It's our tax money thqy are throwing around. Who subsidizes the working man when he loses his job and then loses his home and belongings? And as to giveaway who gave away our money for the previous years with their cost plus con tracts and I didn't hear any com plaints then about big business. And the big and little fellows in business it takes a big busi ness to stay in business now when you have to sell on from three to 30 years credit. It takes a' big turnover and cash on the barrelhead to keep the little man in business. High wages and prices is knocking him out. And as for Mr. and Mrs. Eisen hower they are a top family. Mrs. Eisenhower is first of all a top wife and mother and that's the best thing that can be said about any woman. She is not gallivanting around trying to tell all how to run the country .... Earl Sharp. m N. Capitol. Will Vote for McKay To the Editor: . 'In 1917 I arrived in Camp Lew is as a Buck Private and Douglas McKay was Lieutenant of Co. F, 36lst Inf., and he was a fine of ficer and the soldiers all liked him- Later we were 'shipped to France and he was shot all to pieces in Mcuse Argonne. In 1928. I came to Salem as a Southern Pacific Switchman - and found Doug here in the auto business. During the depression I did not work for six months and the bank closed and who came to my aid "Unasked" but my friend, Doug. He went to sev eral stores and told them to give me what I wanted and he would be responsible. Again he came to the aid of a veteran and a friend. Me wanted to share with a friend. -He was always willing to help some veteran and his family with their problems, pensions and a place to live. Many times be has given me money to buy groceries, wood and to pay rent for vetexans and their families. He is especially very kind on - helping veterans get hospitaliza ' tion and medical treatment. He is a good honest Christian man and has a fine family and was born and raised in Oregon. He was a good Mayor and Gov- ernor and the doors were always open to his friends and Uie public. He never forgets a friend. ' I have had many dealings with Doug and he has always been fair and honest He does not agree to anything 'against hit principles. No matter who you are and what he may lose by his answer he will never agree to anything he thinks does not meet with his honest opinion. 'I have always gone to him for counsel. ' VERNE L 0STRANDER, CSS Center. IT - Jy Lichty Valve To the Editor: I have read Mr. Overholser's letter in your Safety Valve column and I find it true in its entirety but too conservative in his criticism of the so - called old-age assistance and relative's support acts. In the first place we the voters did cot vote for what we now have far from it! The original act, as I remember it, called for the payment of $50 per month to every person residing in the state of Oregon, after reaching the age of 65, and there were no provisos or conditions which demanded the contributions from relatives. Neither were there any powers vested in any welfare official to confiscate or file a lien against little homes owned by the appli cants. Who butchered the original act and put into the effect the present mess of hash? I have always been under the impression (wrong, apparently) that the people were the govern ment ana that the electorate wat supreme. As Mr. Overholser says, a per son can go through life now, either single or married but raising no children, spend all their earnings having a good time for themselves and upon reaching 65 apply for and receive the full amount of old age assistance without any red tape of any kind, while those who have committed the gross error of bringing chil dren into the world are penalized by being treated as paupers if they apply for assistance, their home attached, if they have one, their children subjected to humil iation and embarrassment by be ing bombarded with questionaires in an attempt to force contribu tions Irom them, and in many cases the recipients are told just how to spend the paltry sums allowed by the "powers that be." I know of people who refuse to apply for old-age assistance be cause of these questionnaires, people who really need it badly. I trust I never have to place such a mortgage on my few re maining years or those of my dear children in this humiliating manner. M. W. Milller. 2255 Claude St., Salem, Ore. 'Not Going to Be Fooled' To the Editor: I became a member of t h e Grange many years ago. and I am still a member in good stand ing. 1 am just in receipt of a copy of the Oregon Parmer, dated Oc tober IS, 195. An entire page is devoted to W.yne Morse. It is under the caption "Don't be Fooled". I am one Granger who will not be fooled, by anything that Mr. Morse may say. Morse's advertisement quotes the Master of the Oregon State Grange, who expresses Tiis per sonal appreciation of Morse's ef fort, in the United States Sen ate. What Morse has accom plished for Oregon I do not know, but I do know that Mr. McClure does not express my sentiments. I. also, note an advertisement which covers almost a half, page in the Oregon Farmer under the caption "Wayne Morses Devon Beef Cattle". Morse has inserted a picture of a champion bull and cow. He then states that he has a few "polled females and t w t young polled bulls for sale". The picture of the bull and the cow in the ad have long horns. I have taken t h e Oregon Farmer for a good many yean and this is the first advertise ment I have ever seen inserted m the paper by Senator Morse. No one should sell Morse short as a politician. When his support ers MI the people of Oregon they shouldn't be fooled, I heartily join them. I am certainly not going to be fooled by anything Morse says or does Jacob Kemmer, 1043 S.W. th St., Beaverton, Ore. 31i(UUe of the Road?

The pilot of their plane, a Frenchman, set it down at the airport in Al giers, controlled by the French, instead of Tunis. Arabs wert incensed, regarding this virtually as a kidnaping. France has since moved the five to Paris for trial. The Middle East thus is erupt ing from two causes: the friction over Israel and the efforts of France to put down the rebellion in Algeria. The French maneuver may prove costly to French interests, hardening the determination of the rebels and chilling any effoft of moderates in Tunisia and Mo rocco to effect some reasonable settlement. The Christian Science Monitor calls the capture of the Algerian leaders "an awkward development unless Paris now in tends to repudiate most of the moderate and even pro-Western leadership throughout North Africa." Having suffered so many losses in colonial power, France should have learned by this time that compromise offers the best solution of the Algerian troubles, but evidently it hasn't. The colonial powers and to a considerable extent the United States have been prone to subor dinate the interests and aspira , tions of primitive countries to their own. Arnold Toynbee in his Study of History gives an illus tration. After the Versailles peace conference of 1919 a Persian statesman complained to a British diplomat that the interest of his country had been sacrificed in the Anglo-Russian entente. The Brit ish spokesman sought to justify the entente because of Britain's strategic Interest, and the dil emma it was in in choosing between the "sacrifice of Persia to Russia and the possible de struction of Western Civilization." The account goes on: "At this, the Persian lost his tem per and declared such cynicism was beyond all imagination. To speak with complacency of the sacrifice of Persls. 'the priceless Jewel of civilisation,' on the off-chance of saving- a worthless Western society was sheer Impudence. He c on cluded: 'What should I have cared and what do I care now. if Europe perishes so lonf as Persia lives!' " Actually the Persian was quite as cynical as the Britisher. The moral is that there is need for tolerance both ways. But toler ance is a term unwelcome now either in French-Algerian rela tions or in those between Israel and its Arab neighbors. interesting and objective. Mr. Smith and Mr. Holmes both ap pear as personable and capable young men, which I'm sure they are. But if the average citizen is to vote intelligently, how can this be done other than by a serious study of the respective records of the candidates? These t w o have served in the same three sessions of the Legislature, which should simplify comparisons. However, there seems to be a reluctance on the part of Gov ernor Smith's supporters to dis cuss his voting record. Senator Holmes has voted to maintain a strong Referendum; to increase teachers' salaries and for sick leave for teachers; spon sored and voted for all Civil Rights measures', voted to en dorse the United Nations; and to support President Eisenhower's Reciprocal Trade Program to name but a few. The 'then Senator Smith voted against all of these and was the only Senator to vote against the three civil rights measures and endorsement of the United Nations! And yet in a speech several weeks ago I heard the excerpt quoted on a noon KOAC , news broadcast). Governor Smith warned darkly the voters should keep in mind that his opponent is an extreme left-wing Democrat (that epithet so dear to the heart of the G.O.P.), and that he (Smith is a middle-of-the-road Republican. If Governor Smith's record is middle-of-the-road, is it unreason able to ask what then would be the record of a conservative Re publican? (Mrs.) Barbara L. Hanneman, 2845 Peck Avenue. Blow for Freedom To the Editor: For the current campaign about everything that should has been said, so from here on whenever a Morse label is encountered he is offered aft even trade, will he tell us why he is for Morse. I we'll tell why we are against him, the offer is usually accepted, I and believe me there are some Interesting deals. When the tran saction is completed each party pledges to vote as he thinks is right, and smilingly they go their separate ways with the feeling that another blow for Freedom has been struck. John U.
