WHILE EDUCATION NEEDS WAIT
Of the proposed expenditures for new school buildings bas
ed on the $600,000 bond issue on which taxpayers will vote
Monday, $325,000 is for a high school gymnasium. Regard
ing this, City superintendent James W. Bushong, presenting
the arguments of the school board, has stated before various
local groups:
The tentative floor plans for this building call for a seat
ing capacity of 2,148. A number of people have said that any
new gym that is built should seat at least 3,000. However, I
think it only fair to point out that 3,000 seats are not necessary
to meet the requirements for physical education and therefore
their cost should not be charged to education.
Do the board and Mr. Bushong mean to suggest that 2,148
seats are necessary for physical education and that their
cost should be charged to education?
If they do not and it is hard to believe that this implica
tion was intentional how do they justify the indebtedness
for this purpose which school district taxpayers are being
asked to assume?
How do they justify the isolation of funds for non-education
purposes when additional hundreds of thousands of dol
lars must yet be spent to meet the basic requirements of education?
LAKEVIEW'S MAIL PROPOSAL
Temporarily the Lakeview effort to secure mail service
from Portland by way of central Oregon points, including
Bend, is on the shelf. Lakeview's needs are to be met by the
addition of a night mail movement from Klamath Falls.
Information from Lakeview indicates that this service will
not satisfy the wishes of the community but it is being ac
cepted pending further investigation.
Lakeview's request was for a bus or truck movement of
mail from Portland. The schedule proposed would bring
mail into Bend soon after midnight and to Lakeview by
7 :30. Delivered here on that schedule the "working" of the
local mail would be' started at 6 o'clock and delivery would
be begun by the time of opening of the business day.
Bend business men would, of course, like to have earlier
mail delivery than is now possible. They would be glad to
cooperate, too, in the promotion of an enterprise that would
benefit so many neighboring communities both north and
south. ; There is much more involved, however, than the
simple schedule described. The subject needs thorough study
before any sort of attitude toward it is taken.
We hope the study will be given. .'
MINIMUM ESSENTIALS PROGRESS
Last year the minimum essentials test in arithmetic was
introduced as a requirement for graduation from the local
high school. The test was ridiculously simple, but 54 out
of lid seniors failed to pass. There were subsequent ex
aminations and eventually most of the fourth year students
qualified for diplomas. M
This year 134 took the test and 36 failed. They will,' of
course, be given another opportunity for the purpose of the
minimum essentials quiz is merely to assure that a student
who finishes high school shall have a working knowledge of
a useful and virtually necessary subject.
The lower rate of failures in 1948 is encouraging. Mani
festly it is still too high, but it shows progress. As the new
system of check-ups at the end of term continues, still bet
ter results are to be expected.
A statistician has figured that in the 1947 sessions of
congress senators took up more time in debate that did mem
bers of the house. The average for each senator, it is re
ported, was eight hours and 24 minutes. No figures have
been worked up, unfortunately, on the average with Oregon's
junior senator left out.

Blames Higher Incomes
For Meat Prices
Chicago mi Hlsing incomes
rather than a scarcity of meal is
the cause of high meat prices, ac

Arthur said government figures
show that the consumer's dollar
has doubled since l'.Ml, while
meat supply has gone up only one
quarter over the pre war level.
He said he did not agree with
economists who were calling this
a hysterical run of inflation. He
typed it as "the late stages of a
typical business boom with com
modity prices the sore spot."

TIGHT AftHHS
CHEST COLDS
Washington
Column
By Peter Edson
(NE A Waslilntilon Correspondent)
Washington ( NEA ) President
Truman's budget message gives
his answer to his two severest
friends and best critics, Republi
can presidential hopeful Sen. Rob
ert Taft of Ohio, and New York's
Chairman John laber of the
house appropriations committee.
Taft has charged that Truman's
state of the union message .10
year plan "doubling Joe Stalin's
bld"r-would cost "almost at once
ten billion dollars a year more
than we are now spending-; with
later Increases to come." Honest
John Tabor raised the bid. He said
add $13 billion to the cost of gov
ernment. Well, there's always room for
a difference of opinion in the Unit
ed States. But the president's
budget message spells out in de
tail Just what he had In mind. The
total comes to $8 billion plus for
the first year. These are obvious
ly starting figures. European aid
might bo reduced after the first
year, but if the other initial out
lays were granted by congress,
the amounts for each item would
have to go up in later years, as
Taft says. This, however, is the
way the president figures it out
for year one of his 10-year plan:
For foveien aid, Includ
ing China $7,100,000,000
For universal military
training 500,000,000
For national health pro
gram 110,000,000
For nubile housing and
public works 57,000,000
For aid to education
and science re
search 315,000.000
The total. ?S OS.OOO OOO. is two
billion under Taft's $10 billion estimate-
and less than half of Ta
bor's $10 billion.
Costs Estimated
The wav Tabor figured it. uni
versal mU'tary training would
cost two billion, aid to education
three billion, aid to public health
and "socialized medicine" two-
and-a-half billion, social security
expansion two billion, housing
three billion, foreign relief $6.8
billion total, $19.3 billion.
Taft had an entirely different
let of figures when he took to
the air waves to answer the pres
ident's state of the union message.
He said universal military train
ing' would cost two to four Ml-
Hions, more than now being spent,
which of course adds up to about
the same as the $6.8 billion figure
Tor the Marshall plan s first year.
In past utterances, Taft has al
ready committed himself to spend
ing at least five-nnd-a-half billion
1ollar.s of government money for
'he verv things Harry Truman
out in his 10-year plan. Last Oc
tober, Taft said he thought four-
and-a-half billion dollars ought to
be enough foreign aid in any one
year.
Ever since the war. Taft has
icon advocating a nubile housinr
nroeram which he savs will cost
"f.00 million the first year, dimin
ishing thereafter he hoped as
orlvate lnmistrv became encour
aged to take over the business.
On aid to education, Taft also
has a bill. His 1-lea Is to give
ernnts from the federal treasury
to the poorer states, so that the
iveraee expenditure rer pupil
would bo raised to $80 a year.
Tnft estimates this would cost
S1:"0 million the first year $200
million the second and $250 mil
lion a year thereafter. Compare
bis with Truman's $300 million
aid for education, plus $15 million
for scientific rpwrufh.
On a'd to health. Taft likewise
hns a hMl. Her" he would also
"ive rrantsinaid to the states
for building hnsnltnls. providing
mo'licM care for school ehildren
nnd the poor, alillng voluntary
health insurance Plans. He has
nit the cost of this at $250 mll-
'lon a vear for five venrs. Com-
onm -nii Truman's $110 million.

STASSEN
(Oregon Statesman1)
When Harold E. Stassen elect
ed not to become a candidate for
the U. S. senate in 1946 and in
sisted to go into the presidential
contest as a "free lance," there
were many politicians who shook
their heads over his decision. He
would be lost to the public eye
and soon forgotten, they said. Bel
ter for him to take a seat in the
senate where the office would
lend wings to his words.
Events have not fulfilled the
predictions of these wiseacres,
otassen is quite In the public eye
and has been for many months.
He is moving about with growing
sureness of foot. Alone among the
candidates he has moved freely
and expressed himself frankly In
all sorts of situations: forums,
press conferences, testimony be
fore a senate committee. At the
moment his name gets into head
lines because of his charges of
speculation by government insid'
ers; but he has made progress
on more tundamental issues aso.
While Governor Dewey sits at
Albany and avoids controversy
Stassen wades into them and of
ten comes up with a fresh, orig
inal viewpoint. . It is true that
Dewey berated the, Truman ad
ministration, in his message to the
New York legislature, but that
was quite palpably partisan. Stas
sen has in his speeches been try
ing to stimulate new thinking
among republicans. Stassen wants
a positive, not a negative pro
gram. He favors a bipartisan for
eign policy which would embrace
foreign aid. He proposes a new
conference of United Nations in
1950 to strengthen the charter
and end the single-power veto.
Perhaps if he had gone to the
senate Stassen would have had an
audience, but he would not have
had the freedom for travel and
expression he has now. His open
countenance and his frankness in
discussion have won many per
sonal friends and political sup
porters. He still has high hurdles
ahead to win the nomination
