"MORE INFORMATION, NOT LESS REQUIRED"
We are not alone in our feelings about that attempt of
the league of Oregon cities to cut down on the information
to be given the tax payers about municipal budgets. Charles A
Sprague, of the Salem Statesman, spoke against the measure
at last week's hearing and now we find a protest voiced by
the Oregon City Enterprise, published almost next door to the
home city of the president of the league. "More Information
Not Less Required" is the head over the Enterprise editorial
which reads :
Honest public officials should welcome the opportunity to
show taxpayers as fully as possible and in detail, how tax
money is being spent. House Bill 335 in the Legislature pro
vides a way at the least per capita cost.
But, lor some reason the League of OrpRon Cities has
sponsored SB 195 which contravenes all that is sought in 1B
335 and provides for publication only of summaries of
budgets.
The Senate bill would give the taxpayers detailed Informa
tion only on personal service, maintenance and operation,
caiptal outlay and debt service under departments. Such
limited information would be of misleading value In inform
ing the taxpayer how his money is spent. It is not to the
public interest to conceal Information, either as an economy
or as a means of avoiding taxpayer Interest and curiosity.
Lest there be a question about newspaper Interest In this
matter it should be frankly stated that newspapers are the
medium through which taxpayers can learn at the least per
capita cost about municipal business, and legal publication,
in detail of the information as provided in HB 335 would be
at the legally established rate. The cost of office equip
ment, office supplies on which to keep records, machines
for tabulating accounts and other necessary equipment cost
the unit of government a considerable sum and are proper ,
- municipal oxepnse. Of what use Is all this expenditure, if the
information thus accrued through the use of this costly equip
ment, is hidden away In archives or posted on fence posts?
The relatively small cost of proper publication under the
HB 335 provisions should not be a consideration any more
than whether a city should have proper accounting equip
ment. The difference between the cost under bill 335 and
under the league sponsored bill would not be enough to count
as an economy in the total municipal budget.
TWO JOBS WELL DONE
The Deschutes county community Bend, Redmond and
the country districts has again done its usual good job on
behalf of two worthy causes. It has more than met the quota
assigned to it in the drive for the national infantile paralysis
fund and it has turned in many tons of clothing for Russian
relief purposes.
Infantile paralysis struck hard in the county in the summer
of 1943 and more than ever before it was borne in on all of us
that the help of all the people was needed to meet the needs
of the afflicted. That made it eusier to raise the quota last
year and the memory helped this year. For the actual manage
ment of the campaigns credit goes, as usual, to Mrs. J. F.
Arnold who is always untiring inher. direction and handling
of details. '' .fi .Vi .
To the junior chamber of commerce committee headed by
Frank Prince, Jr. and Virgil Lyons, goes the palm for the
success of the clothing collection effort. They have given an
other demonstration of the fact, already emphasized by their
paper drive committee, that the Jaycees got things done.
The national senate, having been urged by the war de
partment to enact work or fight legislation, has politely sug
gested that the several hundred thousand male employes of
the department be considered for the army. And Representa
tive Harris Ellsworth calls attention to the fact that the same
house, controlled by the democrats, that passed a drastic bill
to draft manpower for war industry work approved a resolu
tion to provide $6,000,000 for a farm census. This is a patron
age bill, Ellsworth says, and will call for the employment of
nearly 30,000 census takers. Soldiers win battles, workers
produce goods and voters on the federal pay roll help win
elections.

Washington
Column
' By Peter Edson
(NEA Staff Correspondent)
Washington, V. C Every idea
offered lor reorganizing congress,
regardless of its desirability,
meets with some more or less
valid objection.,
There Is in congress Itself con
siderable sentiment to change the
procedure which requires two
thirds senate approval for any in
ternational treaty negotiated by
the president. This rule is con
sidered bad lor tnree reasons.
First, 33 isolationist members of
the senate might block a broad
International post-war security
plan. Second, the house is cut out
of any participationThird, the
president is driven to making "ex
ecutive agreements" with foreign
I countries, not requiring congres-
sional approval when it was the
I intent of the founding fathers
' pate in making foreign policy and
treaties.
Letting the full congress ratify
or reject all international deals
by simple majority vote is pro
posed as a remedy for these evils.
Vet students of congress point
out that the house of representa
tives is the most unpredictable
! thing In government, subject to
! strange moods and temperamen
j tal acts which at times defy rea
, son. Recent action of the house
i in bringing to life the committee
formerly headed by Martin Dies,
after everyone thought it was
safely dead and buried, is cited as
an example of this whimsy.

for lodgings. They had not even

would be time for that. The dust
and dirt of the road could wait.
That was nothing. Louis Pleyel
was everything. Thev were in
Paris and first they must pay re
spects to Louis Pleyel.
Frederic held back. He put his
hand to his mouth to smother a
cough. Jozef Eisner took his arm,
then pushed on the door and to
gether they went In.
A center aisle divided the room,
on cither side of which were
pianos, If not the finest in the
world, certainly among the best
known. Each carried
Pleyel.
A middle-aged clerk met them
midway up the aisle. 'Yes, Mes
sieurs?" "Monsieur Pleyel, please."
The clerk raised his eyebrows.

tacles to his nose. "You are not
Monsieur Pleyel!"
"No."
- Jozef Eisner grinned. "I know

"Thank you, Monsieur.' All

" Tch, tch. It wasn't yesterday
I shook his hand. Nevertheless I

Jozef Eisner pulled out his ker-'

"Well, is Monsieur Pleyel in?"
"He is in, but "
"Enough! You will tell him
no not a word. It will be a sur
prise! Forgive me, Monsieur; for
give me."
The Professor returned the ker
chief to his pocket. He grabbed
Frederic's hand and together they
were already bustling toward the
rear of the room.

It will he too late. Jozef Eisner

Frederic put down his carpet

it seemed a surprising thing, even
to himself, that he should do it.

we're fighting for again today; think of the marines on Iwo,
the battling Yanks in Germany then buy another bond!
We are in this war, too and like our i'lustrous first president
we're willing to admit that things are not all they used to bo.
We know we've curtailed certain services, made shortcuts here
