U. S, SAVINGS BONDS
Another appeal comes to us to do something to help in
speeding up the purchase of U. S. savings bonds. It seems that
the state of Oregon, which consistently had one pf the top po
sitions in bond buying through the war, has been well below
its quota of late. There are excuses for this, chiefly in the
flood damage suffered in heavily populated Columbia river
areas a few weeks ago, but there is apparently some apprehen
sion that the people of Oregon will get into the habit of being
below quota and this, of course, would never do.
Arguments to use in pepping up bond sales are provided
from-state headquarters, which undoubtedly received them
from national headquarters. Greatest stress is laid on the1
idea that purchase of savings bonds is anti-inflationary. This
is partly true. To the degree that the purchase price of a bond,
is withdrawn from the amount available for personal spend
ing, it tends to lessen the effective desire which we call de
mand. Assuming that supply remains constant, there is, in
the changed ratio of the two, a factor for lower pricing.
That much is fine, but consider the other end of the bond
deal; At that end we have the United States government as
the seller, another way of saying that the United States gov
ernment is borrowing money, is going deeper into debt or is
paying bills with one hand while it signs a note with the other.
Debt is inflationary. Reduction of debt is deflationary. The
drive to pile on more debt or to reduce debt in one spot at the
price of adding debt in another spotdoes not look like an anti
inflationary program from here. On the contrary.
However, we shall keep on buying U. S. bonds as long as we
have something with which to buy them. We shall continue
to recommend that others do likewise. We know of no better
way to carry on a savings program nor do we know of any
thing that is much more important just now than to adopt a
savings program and to stick to it. Bonds will help the indi
vidual to spend less than he makes,. The accumulation is likely
to come in very handy one of these days.- . . , i

RETURNING A SUITCASE " '
The Bulletin-has just had the pleasure of acting as inter
mediary in the restoration of a lost suitcase. Frequently, we
should observe, The Bulletin does act in this capacity through
its classified advertising department but in this instance the
circumstances are. unusual enough that we would like to
relate them. .
It all started when we received a card from a resident of
the McKenzie river area. She had found the suitcase near
Pringle Falls and was fearful that the owner might be "pretty
unhappy and possibly uncomfortable until she gets it back".
So this good lady asked that the property be advertised and
that she be billed. Customarily finders use the statement,
"owner may have property by identifying it and paying for
this adv.-", but that wasn't the way the lady from the McKen
zie looked at it. She wanted to get that suitcase back to the girl
who needed it and to do it all as quickly as possible. '
We were: in the act of complying .with her request when a
letter came in from a Salem, Oregon, address, describing the
suitcase and asking that an advertisement be inserted. In.stcnd
of using either classified insertion we thought it would be
much simpler to mail the card from the McKenzie to our
Salem correspondent. This has been done and by now the
whole matter should be straightened out.

A LATE VINDICATION
(Corvallls Gazette-Times)
Eleanor Roosevelt, who writes
a syndicated column for certain
eastern newspapers, stated the
other day that the Hoover depres
sion, ' so-called, was no fault of
Hoover at all. She said, "If only
we can avoid repetition of the de
pression that culminated In Mr.
Hoover's administration, we will
be very fortunate. This depres
sion of course, had nothing to do
with President Hoover's policies,
but wns the result of after-war
activities by certain groups."
Commenting on this, the New
"iTork times said whatever the
causes of Hie depression, Hoover
got the blame for It as the result
of Mr. Roosevelt constantly reit
erating the name of "Hoover de
pression." Mrs. Roosevelt's eon

.Additional Reservoir Storage.
With present" storage reservoirs
west of the city, there will be an
obvious advantage if additional
storage can be provided on the
east side. Pilot butte is the only
site lor such storage, and this re
port originated in an effort tn nrn.
,vlde east side storaee. Unfortun.
.ately the slopes of Pilot butte at
Hhe requisite elevation are steep
aim me uiny jeasiuie sue is a lim
ited area In the cinder pit on the
north slope. For this area and the
foundation conditions, turn -nvr.
ed circular reinforced concrete
basins with a capacity of eoo.nnn
gallons each are most economical.
These have been estimated to cost,
wiiu vaive pit ana controls, but
without any connecting nlno Hnp
$48,500. per basin or a total of
$79,000. for 1,200,000 gallons of
storage. It is entirely feasible to
build one basin at a time, if desirable.
A distribution reservoir should
be located as close as possible to
the center of distribution. It is
8,600 feet in an air line from the
city hall to the site on Pilot butte.
There Is a much superior site, per
mitting any reasonable storage
capacity, on Awbrey butte at a
distance of 4,900 feet from the city
nan. ic is quite .apparent that
while some east side storage is
proper and desirable, , the main
volume of storage should be on
the west side and at the site on
Awbrey butte. Such a reservoir
has the added advantage that if
placed at a proper elevation it per
mits an increase In the supply line
capacity, as already discussed.
Preliminary topography has
been taken, and studies made
which indicate the feasibility and
desirability of a reservoir located
westerly from the Bend' View ad
dition on Awbrey butte. Slopes
vary from 7 to 15, and con
struction cost will be minimized
by placing the basin where the
transverse slope is a minimum.
For the purpose of estimates, a lo
cation has been selected for a
single basin with 5,000,000 gallons
capacity. If the future should re
quire more capacity at this eleva
tion, other basins are entirely pos
sible though the cost may be rela
tively more. The cost of a 5,000,000
gallon covered reservoir, 175 by
250 feet, with sloping sides and a
reinforced concrete parapet wall
of variable height, is estimated to
bo $284,500. or $57,000 per million
gallons.
The use of water in the" high
level zone, supplied by the Third
Street pumping station, Is increas
ing and has approached a million
gallons on peak days. The storage
provided by the Great Northern
tank is insufficient to equalize the
demand and secure the best load
lactor conditions for pump opera
tion. The need for storage will be
reduced if the plan for -gravity
supply to this zone, hereafter dis
cussed, should be adopted. Never
theless, there should ultimately be
storage of not less than. 500,000
gallons in this zone. ....
Reservoir Elevations. 'W h e r e
two reservoirs, widely separated,
feed into the same distribution
zone, the relative elevations to be
adopted is an indeterminate mat
ter requiring a high degree of en
gineering Judgment. Tentatively,
for the purposes of this report
and estimates, the overflow for
the reservoir on Awbrey butte has
been assumed at El. 3800 and that
on Pilot butte at El. 3795. Both res-

guilty by this particular Juror

Hoover more than anything in
years."
ervolrs should be equipped with
water level control valves. ThU
elevation would place the Awbrey
rutte reservoir 72 feet below the
present tanks, and insure opera
tion of the supply line at Its maxi
mum capacity. The present tanks
would fill automatically only
when the altitude valve closed at
Awbrey butte. The best method of
control is something to be worked
out In final design. There should,
however be either manual or auto
matic means for keeping the pres
ent tanks full as a reserve for fire
protection and to give cross-town
high level service under the plan
otherwise . proposed. Closure of
the altitude valve at Awbrey butte
will divert the flow to the existing
reservoirs, and closure of this al
titude valve will caUBe an over
flow at the spillway, as at pres
ent. . , .,
It is possible that tr better ar
rangement than this can be de
vised after careful study. In any
case, the existing tanks will feed
out into the system through the
reducing valve as at present, ex
cept that when new mains are laid
to give adequate pressure condi
tions the manual adjustment of
this valve can be eliminated. The
higher reservoirs will simply feed
Into the system when the pressure
drops low enough to permit them.

Washington
Column
By Peter Edson. '
(NEA vta&hifiirton CorreiKnlent)
Washington (NEA) President
Truman's and- inflation program
was groggy and on the ropes aft
er a first-round, encounter with
Rep. Jesse Wolcott of Michigan,
chairman of the house banking
and currency committee.
Ex OPA administrator Paul
Porter presented the case for the
president's proposed new anti-inflation
act, and took a terrible
beating. Wolcott subjected Porter
to a merciless cross-examination,
without raising his voice. He took
up Porter's statement, and the
president's bill and ripped into
them, point by point. -
One of the key points In the
president's program Is new au
thority to control consumer cred
it meaning Installment buying
and charge accounts. During the
war, the federal reserve board
had this powtr under "Regula
tion W." It was rescinded by coit
'grass- last year. The president
now Wants it reinstated. i
Wolcott asked Porter if he
thought the present Inflationary
situation constituted a national
emergency. Porter said It did-1
and thereby fell into a trap. The
rescinding law specified that the
president might reinstate "Regu
lation W" if he declared that a
national emergency existed. Port
er apparently didn't know this
power . was already in the law,
Five hours later, at his press conference.-President
, Truman ri
vealed that he didn't know this
power was in the law, either.
... '; ' ? ., , .. .. t
The president alibied by saying
that maybe Wolcott and the at
torney general didn't Interpret the
lawi the same way. The president
said that he had to abide by the
attorney general's opinions, but
if It were now found that he had
the power to reinstate credit con
trols, he would use It. It cannot
be expected that the president
know and remember every provi
sion of every law, but it is the
business of his staff to know and
to advise him on the use of such
(lowers as he has. (

Into effect Under Wolcott's prob
ing, however, he admitted that
the power to fix all prices would
be there.
Wolcott demanded to know Just
what would be controlled? Porter
tried to put this off on later wit
nessesSecretary of agriculture
Brannan and Secretary of com
merce Sawyer. He finally said
that control of meats, dairy pro
ducts, clothing, building materi
als, steel and non-ferrous metals
"needed study." Allocations on
meat and steel might be neces
sary, he said.
! "you've had since last Novem
ber to work out the details," said
Wolcott coldly.
Wolcott had more leading ques
tions on the president's proposals
for wage controls. In what indus
tries would they be used? Porter
said . temporary wage boards
would be set up in industries
whose products might be brought
under price or allocation controls.
"You are asking us to legislate
the policy that broke the iine In
1946," Wolcott said bluntly. .
On the subject of attacking the
causes of inflation, Wolcott asked
Porter If he had any program for
stabilizing the dollar. Porter said
Federal reserve board chairman
Thomas B. McCabe would answer
that one. s
Wolcott then went on to ask
why the president hadn't asked
for federal reserve board author
ity to increase bank reserves, to
tighten up the money supply.
Porter had no answer.
"The president and the federal
reserve board now have the pow
er to plunge the country into a
depression, Wolcott said later.
"By merely asking the federal
reserve board to do It, the presi
dent could see that no one could
get a dollar of credit."
Wolcott wanted to know why
these orthodox measures should
n't be used to stop inflation be
fore going back to a lot of con
trols that hadn't worked and that
the president had killed in the
past.
