Deschutes Leads
In Sale of Bonds
Leading all counties in the
state, residents of Deschutes coun
ty purchased $78,550 or 64.1 per
cent of the $122,500 "E" and "G"
bond quota scheduled for sale in
the period of March l,to March 15,
A. L. O. Schueler, chairman of
the county war finance commit
tee, announced today.
"The outlook is very promis
ing," he declared. "The tempo of
sales must be stepped up but
slightly to swing into a maximum
purchase of the $1,141,000 quota
set for the Seventh war loan drive
which will officially open April 1."
Of the $78,550 total sales of
"E" and "G" bonds during the
March 1-15 period, $56,450 were re
cruited from purchases of "E"
bonds and $22,100 flowed into the
treasury through "G" bond chan
nels. State Sales Lag
Ratio of sales throughout the
state during the same period
amounted to 47.8 per cent of the
set quota, Schueler reported, or
approximately 16.3 below the quo
ta rrrtark attained by Deschutes
county.
"The county is doing better
than average," the county chair
man asserted. "We must main
tain the steady high rate of pur
chases during the months of
April, May and June for all bonds
purchased then will apply on the
important Seventh war loan
drive."

Jap Trees Bloom in Capital;
Othman Gives Background
By Frederick C. Gthnian
(United Frew Staff Oorreepondent)
Washington, March 26 W.
The cherry trees which the Japa
nese gave us as a token of their
everlasting esteem and affection
are in full bloom. I think maybe
they are blushing.
These trees are beautiful pho
nies. They make with the silvery
flowers (with Ted spots in the
middle which cause 'em to look
pink from a distance), but they
procure no cherries.
The Japs gave us 1300 trees, but
only 1,299 are left. A misguided
patriot went to work on one a
couple of years ago with an axe.
(As If that would do any good!)
The trees around the tidal basin
and even lugs like me are inclined
to get poetic in attempting to de
scribe 'em. I will skip it and re
port that Jap cherry blossoms
have no odor. The only smell I
could notice in theic vicinity was
fishy.
Some people claim this consign
ment of trees brought along a
blight which spread through cher
ry orchards that really do give
cherries. Federal experts insist
this is not true. What actually
happened makes one of those
weird stories about east meeting
west:
Mrs. William Howard Taft was
making a tour of Japan in 1907, i
see, and a Jap newspaper reporter

1 Figures can be deceiving. In the financial news of this
month, Union Oil's 1944 net profits were listed at $8,932,994.
Now $8,932,994 is a lot of money. But what the figures fail to
reveal is that this money was divided among a lot of people.

There was a piece In the Jap

Immediately started swatting.
The shipment was full of

burned the trees. Then, you can

state department.

3 So dividends paid out averaged just $14-1.79 per stock
holder. In contrast to this, wages and salaries averaged $3298.77
per Union Oil employee for the year. Even government received
more from the company's operation than the stockholders.
$4,666,270 were paid out in dividends, $6,127,200 in taxes.
6 So it Is not the investments of a few millionaires, but the
combined savings of thousands of average citizens, that make
corporations like Union Oil Company possible. And-without
some such method of financing industry, American mass pro
duction, with free competition, could never have been achieved.
