WILL IT BE BALANCED?
A Washington dispatch forecasts that Tresident Tru
man's message to congress next week may call for a balanced
budget or at least a near approach to balance between planned
expenditures and antiicpated revenues. This is as it should
be, but we will refrain from applauding until such a budget is
adopted and enforced.
While it has nothing to do with budgeting, we cannot
help recalling one of the planks presented by the platform
committee of the 1912 democratic national convention. It
read:
"We favor a single presidential term and to that end urge
the adoption of an amendment to the constitution making the
president of the United States ineligible tor re-election, and
we pledge the candidate of this convention to this principle."
The party's candidate was re-elected four years later.
This happened a long time ago and we cite it merely as an
indication that promises in themselves do not necessarily
mean a great deal. There were many such in the Roosevelt
years that President Truman is continuing, promises which
would have been wonderful had they been carried out. They
made great copy but, as it developed, meant little.
As to the matter of a balanced budget, it has been a long,
long time since the United States has enjoyed one. The idea
appeals to us. We believe in budgeting and we believe also
that unless a budget is balanced it is hardly worthy of the
name. 11 one is put into enect we snail be vastly encouraged.
But until it is an accomplished fact our fingers will remain
crossed.

"IN. THE MONEY"
The city of Bend is, certainly, as the slang phrase has it,
'in the money." The fiscal year receipts, as set up in the cur
rent budget, are expected to total $194,565 and already there
has been taken in the sum of $165,262. The reason for this
: flush condition is found in the heavy tax payments, only
about $12,-500 remaining to come ingainst a budgeted figure
of $112,946. Real estate sales greatly in excess of the expec
tancy also are important.
Income at an average rate of $5,000 a month for the rest
of the year will bring in the budgeted total. Without doubt
that amount will be achieved. In the second half of the last
fiscal year-January to June, 1945, inclusive the city's in
come, in round figures, was $53,500.

Pike found Marcia Clay behind
the wheel of a station wagon,
parked behind a clump of blue
spruces. She had on a sleeveless
wnite dress and a white tennis cap
over her blond hair. She said:
"Get in."
Pike got in and she swung the
station wagon around on to the
Valley road. She pressed her foot
down on the accelerator peaal. "1
know a place where we can get
some Swedish coflce and smoKed
turkey sandwiches," she said,
"interested?"
"Sure," Pike said.
For .ten minutes she concen
trated on her driving. Then,
"1 understand you re in a little
trouble," she said.
"Trouble?" he said.
"The sheriff was up to see
you," she said.
''Oh, Parcher," Pike said. He
wasn't going to volunteer any
thing. Let her talk.
"1 can help you," she said.
"Can you?" Pike said.
She nodded.
"Definitely." She slowed down
and looked over at him with a
smile. "Parcher is a pushover.
"Yes," Pike said. "I've- already
pushed him over once." .
"Not really?"
"Literally. He had a search
warrant. He found a bottle of
pills in my bag. Then he began
spitting on the carpet.
She was listening intently with
the station wagon scarcely mov
ing along the mountain roaa.
"I didn't mind that especially,"
Pike went on. "It wasn't my car
pet. But when one of them hit
my shoe "
lie paused.
"You hit him," Marcia said.
"No." Pike shook his head. 1 :
started to. lie made a grab for my I
arm and I sort of pushed him into

is In for a series of long strikes
in major industries, or whether
things will begin to calm down.
Steel is of course the key to
the log jam. If the steel strike
is settled, other strikes in autos,
glass, rubber, oil and electrical
manufacturing Industries mipht
fall right Into line.
Granting a small Increase in the
price of steel, as announced by
President Truman, may be the
means of breaking this log jam.
This is a little embarrassing to
the Truman administration be,
cause it puts the government In
the position oi having to give a
little on its "hold the line" anti
inflation policies so that steel la
bor and steel management can
get together on wage rates.
Here a fine point of argument
should be made clear. In grant
ing increased steel prices, the gov
ernment may argue that OPA is
not allowing the steel Industry
more money so that it can meet
the 'CIO steel workers' demands
for higher wages. Instead, the
government's argument will be
that the need lor higher steel
prices is based on increased costs
of operation during the last three
months of 1945.
This kind of argument gives the
old bush a terrible beating around.
But if it proves the means of set
tling the strike, okay. On this
basis, the steel industry's "ability
to pay" higher wages would not
be allowed to enter the negotia
tions as a factor.
"Ability to pay" is, In many re
spects, a phony issue, anyway. It
has been raised most prominently
as a slogan in the General Motors
strike. But if it was applied right
down the line in all wage disputes
which the CIO unions are now
forcing to a showdown, some of
the unions would be left out in
the cold without a raise.
CIO strategy has been to pre
pare for long strikes. Some of
the union leaders, however, have
been optimistic that settlement
would come soon.
If settlements do come, watch
for 'these Unions to Settle for less
than their original demands $2
a day increase in steel and elec
trical Industries, 30 cents an hour
in autos, 54 hours' pay for 40
hours' work in oil, and so on.
In settling for less, however,
these unions are not likely to
want to sign long-term contracts
t frozen rates. If the country
was headed for a decline in bus
iness volume, then labor would
Sisters Planning
For Incorporation;
Meeting Is Set
Sisters, Jan. 21 Plans for the
Incorporation of Sisters are rush
ing to completion, according to
sponsors of the proposal, and
will culminate in a mass meeting
at the high school .Tuesday night,
Jan. 29.
These final pre-election plans
were made by a group Of 30
townspeople at a meeting held
Jan. 17. The boundary lines for
the new city were established and
George H. Brewster, Redmond
attorney, was commissioned to
prepare the election petitions
which will be circulated at the
mass meeting.
Harold Kay will be the featured
speaker at the Jan. 29 rally. He
will discuss the proposed incor
poration, answering questions and
giving facts on its advantages to
Sisters. The meeting will open
at 7:30 p.m. and all residents of
the town are urged to attend. If
the required signatures on the
petitions are obtained at this
gathering, it is possible that the
actual voting oh the town's in
corporation will take place early
In March.
To Register Voters
John D. Trusheim, secretary
treasurer of the Sisters fire
board and active in pushing the
incorporation measure, states
that a concerted effort is being
made to register , all voters in
Sisters so that a large turnout
may be expected. He explained
that the only requirements to
vote on the bill will be that one
must have resided in Sisters 30
days prior to the voting date, and
be registered. Trusheim declared
that every citizen of Sisters
should feel it a duty to get out and
register so that every vote pos
sible can be obtained. The place
want td freeze wage rates for as
long as possible.
CIO's gamble in these wage con
troversies is of course great Any
gains they win will set the pace
for wage rates all over the coun
try. If they lose-
