IN LIEU OF VEHICLE TAXATION
Discussing the proposal of the Oregon counties that the
share of the state highway fund returned to them be increased
from the present 15.7 per cent to 20 per cent Charles A.
ftrivn or no in hi column in the Oregon Statesman, says that the
counties have pressing demands
natural for them to call for a larger split witn tne state, ne
then points out that if the money is given to the counties the
highway department does not have it to spend, that state
highway construction benefits the counties, that the counties
are in good financial shape and that the new federal aid law
provides for certain county road building in the cost of which
the state will have to share. "This (last) fact," he concludes,
"both reduces the needs of the counties and increases the re
quirements of the state." Sprague thinks the legislature
should examine very closely the proposal to increase the
county proportion of highway income.
Though all that the former governor says may be true he
misses, it seems to us', the point of the whole business. He
argues as though the contribution of highway funds to the
counties had no basis other than the desire of the counties to
get more money for road work. Without doubt they do want
more money but their claim is made in reliance on the original,
and still valid, reason for letting them share in the highway
fund. That, it will be remembered, was to compensate them
for the removal of the motor vehicle from the tax roll.
. It is needless to run through the history of this percentage
sharing. The figure has been changed from time to time and
so has the fund against which the percentage is to be charged
but the whole business has had back of it the single idea
that the payment was in lieu of taxes. We can agree with the
Salem editor that the legislature should examine the proposal
closely but, we suggest, the examination should not take the
line that he suggests but, rather, whether a 20 per cent pay
ment would represent a fairer lieu return to the counties than
the present 15.7.
CALL FOR A BLUE PRINT
Henry Wallace has never told the country just what he
means when he talks about "small business" and the "com
mon man" and perhaps this is an intentional omission. So
long, of course, as there are no definitions his words make
an appeal to almost everybody or they are intended to do
so for almost everybody likes to feel that he has a champion
in his needs, whatever they may be. And Henry, looking to
'the contents of the ballot boxes of the future, is doing his
best to get a lot of voters to thinking that they are not only
the common men for whom his solicitude is expressed but
, that they are the victims of some wrong or other for which
he alone can provide redress.
It is the familiar demagogic thing that Henry is doing.
Huey Long did it with his slogan, "Every man a king," a
phrase with remarkable propaganda value and an intent as
dishonest as that of its maker. A little research would produce
, other examples. .
' Now we are not suggesting "tKSE Henry Wallace is dis
honest but we do suggest that now, as when he talked last
year in Seattle, he is promoting class conflict and endeavoring
to build political prestige by class appeal. It is unfortunate.
As a matter of fact most of us are common men and most of
the business of the country is small business and if our lot is
one that entitles us to sympathy it is because of the conditions
that have developed in the 12 years while Henry has had an
administration job.
If Henry Wallace can improve conditions lot him give us
a Diue prim instead oi nis demagogic generalities.

Senator James E. Murray's high
ly controversial "ever-n o r m a 1
economy" bill, officially tilled
"The Full Employment Bill of
1945," has Just been Introduced
in the new congress after a com
plete Job of overhauling and re
writing. When Senators Murray, Truman
and Revercomb put the Idea for
this bill In a report submitted to
congress last December, their pur
pose was merely to stimulate dis
cussion of their original concept
of preparing an annual budget
for the entire national economy,
private as well as public, and
then trying to do something about
it.
Discussion devclbpcd immedi
ately and in quantity, hot and
cold. Prom all the criticisms ma-
tei-iui was omaineci lor retiralllng al policy for dealing with the
the bill in the form In which it Is country's financial and employ

backing of these three as well asas depiession, thus contributing
Senator Murray. Hacked by this j to the maintenance of a national
important Senatorial quartet the
Din easily becomes one of the
major objectives of the new con
gress and as such it is worth
tome careful study.
The statement of purpose of the
original bill was "to establish a
national policy and program for
assuring continuing lull employ
ment." The purpose of the re-1
vised bill is stated by adding to
the above "in a free competitive
economy, through the concerted
efforts of industry, agriculture,
labor, state and local govern
ments and the federal govern
ment." This Important difference
is made to calm the fears of bus
inessmen who got the idea that
congress was about to embark on
ouniK raaicai social reform in:

OREGON STATEHOUSE JOTTINGS
llllllllillllllllllltllKilllllllKIIIIIIIIIIIIII
By Erie W. Allen, Jr.
(United I'reee Staff Correspondent)
Salem, Ore., Feb. 1 (IP) Today
is the 25th day of the 43rd regu
lar session of the Oregon legis
lature, and halfway to the 50th
day when the pay of the legisla
tors stops.
Today is also the last day when
bills may be presented to the
house by individual members.
From now on they must have
them approved by the legislation
and rules committee, or intro
duced as committee bills by vari
ous groups.
The senate, nowever, nas no
such rule, and its members may
introduce bills up to the last day
of the session, although if they
do, they will more than likely be
snowed under the accumulated
mass of unfinished work. '
Only 345 bills had been intro
duced to both houses up to noon
yesterday, and it would appear
that the total number ot bills may
not go above 700 or 800.
While the members have their
fripperies and jokes and pet me
morials ana mils, tne tone oi me
1945 session has been serious,
during its first four weeks. The
Bend's Yesterdays

(From The Bulletin Filea)
(Feb. 1. 1930) .
The Deschutes Valley Ladlno
Clover Ceed Growers association
schedule a meeting In Redmond,
and announces that William Carr
and W. C. Green of Tumalo have
been selected as temporary direc
tors. John Gravon warns golfers to
stay off the course until the snow
water runs off, as the mercury
climbs to 59 degrees and players
assume spring is here.
Announcement is made that the
Central Oregon Schoolmasters
will meet In Culver on Feb. 22,
and that Harold Tuttle of the Uni
versity of Oregon will be speaker.
Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Howard,
Miss Wilma Howard and Billy
Howard of Culver, are Bend vis
itors.
Miss Marie Mitchell, Plnehurst
teacher, and Miss Madge Mitchell,
Flainview teacher, are Bend call
ers.
City Manager C. G. Relter

Mr. and Mrs. Hex Putnam of
Redmond spend the day In Bend.
Putnam is principal of the Red
mond high school.
W. A. Rahn and F. G. Piper are
Bend callers from Millican.
In Redmond. M. A. Lynch of

Mrs. Christiansen
Nippon Prisoner
The first message relatives of
Mrs. John Christiansen, the for
mer Miss Irene Roney of Bend,
have received from her since she
was taken prisoner by the Japa
nese in Manila on New Year's
day, 1942, has arrived on a post
card postmarked 'Manila, Philip
pine Islands, May 22, 1944."
The message, familiar to all
relatives of prisoners in that area,
simply states that she is well.
Christiansen, relatives learned
some time ago, died about two
years ago in a Japanese prison
camp. Details on the cause of his
death have never been received.
Mrs. Christiansen was reared In
this city and graduated from Bend
high school about 15 years ago.
Her mother, Mrs. William (Sarah)
Roney, resided with a son. Harold
Roney, 97 Shasta, following the
death of her husband. She is now
living in The Dalles with a daugh
ter, Mrs. Ed Vogel.
Services Are Held
For Mrs. Moore
Funeral services for Mrs. 11. B.
Moore, who died at the St. Charles
hospital early Tuesday morning
following a lingering illness, were
held at 3:30 p. m. yesterday in the
Niswonger and Wlnslow chapel
with Rev. G. R. V. Bolster of
ficiating. Paul bearers were S. W. Thomp
son, George Thompson- Albert
Nelson and Al Eriksen.
Among relatives who came
here for the funeral were Mrs.
Moore's s ster, Mrs. A. 11. Ballan-

legislators on the whole seem to
feel that wartime is no time for
fooling around, and are primarily
engaged in passing only new
measures which have been found
necessary, administration bills
needed for the smooth operation
of state government, and. bills cor
recting past mistakes.
The $8 per day paid to mem
bers of the Oregon legislature
stops on Monday, Feb. 26, and
from then on they are on their
own, financially.
While this would not bother
many of the members, many
others are making a real sacri
fice to attend, and many are de
termined to have the work fin
ished by the 50th day, or as soon
as possible thereafter.
It was only during the past
week that either house has been
in session more than a total of
half an hour or an hour each day,
leading some spectators to believe
that little was being accom
plished. Much of the work of the legis
lature, however, is done in com
mittee meetings and informal
groups.
Clothing Drive
Planned in Bend
Under the leadership of the
Deschutes county defense council-
an organization was started
here today for the conduct of a
salvage clothing drive through

Crop Phosphates
To Be Available '
Deschutes county farmers soon
will have available superphos
phate for their croplands, it was
announced today by H. G. Smith,
county agent. Smith said that the
state AAA committee had allo
cated -120 tons, but since this
would not be , sufficient to fill
present orders, an additional 240
tons were ordered for February
and March delivery. The fertilizer
is to be delivered to Redmond,
and will be distributed from there,
Smith said.
The phosphate will cost $34 a
ton, but credits will be given un
der the following conditions,
Smith stated:
Against the $34 cost, farmers

FURNITURE rOLISIf
The simple mixture of two
parts boiled linseed oil and one
part turpentine makes an excel

ing to . Elizabeth Boeckli, home
demonstration agent. She adds i
that the mixture should be used !
with plenty of elbow grease for
satisfactory results.
The oil "feeds" the wood, and
the turpentine loosens dirt, dull
and foggy appearance that furni
ture often acquires, and helps con
ceal fine cracks or checks in the
finish.
Apply the mixture with a soft
cloth. Then with a dry cloth rub
off excess polish and keep rubt
bing with the grain of the wood
until the surface is entirely dry
and will not show a finger mark.
