. ELECTION BOARD PAY
Little noticed among the bills appearing in the legislature
to date is the eleventh in the senate. It is introduced by Sena
tor Lew Wallace and would give judges and clerks of election
1 8 a day for their services.
Time was when the $3 a day, which is still the current
rate, was something of a plum lor the men and women who
handed out ballots, checked off names of voters, strung ballot
stubs on strings and counted the ballots. Today it is by no
means tempting. There is difficulty at every election in finding
a sufficient number of persons for the receiving and counting
boards. Public spirit induces many to serve. Certainly the
wage is no lure to those capable of giving truly competent
service.
But, if $3 a day is too low, $8 a day is too high. Less
than three years ago the people of Oregon voted $8 as tne
daily pay rate of a member of the legislature'. To any one at
all lamiiiar with the duties of legislators and election board
membersajthis should give some indication that the suggested
compensation for board members is badly out of line.
If the rate is to be changed, it should probably be some
where in between the two figures. Better yet, it could be left
where it is as a minimum, with extra pay depending on the
size of the vote handled. The precinct that polls a few dozen
votes surely does not present too onerous a task to its clerks
and judges, who can go on with their knitting With only slight
interruption. Some difference, we think, could well be made
between the official of such a precinct and the one who is
handling a steady stream of voters from the opening of the
polls until closing time.
The Bcale might also recognize the difference in the
amount of work required in a presidential election and in an
otl-year election." Tne comparative size of the ballots could be
taken into consideration.
Analyzing the job from these viewpoints, we might arrive
at a fair basis tor payment. Merely raising the wage will not
do it.
Since the introduction of the Wallace bill another on the
same subject has appeared in the senate, this one by Senator
W. H. Strayer., It provides for payment at the rate of ?4 a
day. if tne legislature favors a change from the present ?3
scale, but desires to hold to a flat rate rather than a flexible
one as suggested in the foregoing paragraphs, this second
measure, we would guess, has the better chance of passage.
Social Hygiene day comes on February 7, we are reminded
by public health publications. Social hygiene is one of those
euphemistic terms which still survive in years when we
frankly call venereal diseases by their common names and
discuss as frankly the methods by which they may be abutud
and (some day. we hope) entirely obliterated, Social hygiene
refers especially to the most-important method, prevention.
It alone, if its teachings were universally followed,' cquld
wipe out syphilis and gonorrhea in a generation. Because
its teachings are not universally followed, prompt treatment
and complete treatment must be stressed.
On February 7 special attention will be called to these
facts. Let them not be lost sight of in the days that follow.

(NBA SUff Correspondent)
Washington, D. C. Far more
interesting than the mere figures
in the President's annual budget
message to Congress are the hints
of things to come the sugges
tions to Congress to be thinking
about reforms and postwar plan
ning. "We must begin plans to trans
form an all-out war economy into
a full employment peace," wHtss
the President, and here are some
of the things he has In mind to
achieve this end: t
"The war Will not be won Unless
we accept our share of responsi
bility for the administration of
occupied territories and for relief
and rehabilitation In the liberated
areas. Expenditures for these
tasks are part of the .war bud
get ."
"These tentative estimates of
appropriations include provisions
for continuing Lend-Lease aid to
our Allies. They are based en the
assumption that the Lend-Lease
Act will be enacted prior to its
expiration on June 30, 1945. About
one-sixth of our present war out
lays are for Lend-Lease and for
relief and rehabilitation . . ." '
"Although the full impact tf
the veterans' program will not be
felt until the years following de
mobilization, the total estimated
requirements for 1946 represent
about 20 per cent of the total ap
propriations for other than war
purposes . . ."
(Incidentally, the peak of vet-'
erans' benefits, according to pres
ent estimates, will be three-and-a,
half to four billion dollars a year,
maybe more.)
"Anticipating the heeds of re
turning war veterans and the de
sirability of providing adequate
.assistance to small, low-income
fanners," writes the -President
later on, "I recommend that the
borrowing authority of the Farm j
Security Administration be in
creased from 67 to 125 million
dollars for rural rehabilitation
and from 15 to 50 million dollars
for the tenant purchase program.
Indicating that the govern
ment's present labor relations
machinery now achieves some
thing short of perfection, the
President recommends: "We must
apply some of our wartime les-
sons In labor-management co-op-ieration
In working out a sound
i long-range labor policy, imple
mented by permanent mediation1
I machinery lor the adjustment of
labor disputes."
"Before long, there may be 60
million men and women to be em
ployed . . . We must attack the
employment problem on every
front. For Instance, 'we must over
haul the wartime tax structure to
stimulate consumers' demand and
to promote business investment.
The elements of .such a tax pro
gram should be developed now so
that It can be put Into effect after
victory."
