MITCHELL, CVA AND SOCIALISM
In this final installment of our discussion of last week's
statement by Representative Mitchell in support of the CVA
proposal we turn first to the somewhat vague charge that
from "certain quarters (which also opposed the Honnevijle
and Grand Coulee dams)" a cry has gone up that "the CVA
would create a 'socialistic superstate.' "
Mr. Mitchell should be more explicit. He should name
those persons or organizations he has in mind. Others have
named the Portland chamber of commerce as having been
opposed to Bonneville and if it is that organization to which
reference is made the Washington representative could not
be more wrong. The Portland chamber spent thousands of
dollars promoting Bonneville. It sent V. B. D. Dodson to
Washington with money provided in part by the private
electric utilities to aid in the campaign. It promoted, not op
posed, the Bonneville development.
On the other hand it is on the record that Norman Thom
as has said that the TV A "exemplifies what socialists might
do and the technique they would use in the process" while
Senator Taylor, discussing valley authorities in a senate
debate said, "I will admit that these projects are socialistic."
Let Mitchell come clean on this argument.
Finally Mitchell says :
The TVA has the endorsement of that region's sercn 70i
ernors, its leading business men republicans and democrats
alike) its workers, farmers and clergy.
We grant this endorsement and turn to the articles on the
TVA by Tom Humphrey to find the explanation. It is there
clearly enough and persons who talk with TVA citizens off
the'record when they are safe against reprisal tell a differ-
ent story from that of the governors.
Tint- rtuca thnf nvpr Tt us nhsprvp simnlv- thnt rrov-!
ernors of the states that are in the proposed .CVA, regardless
of party, are opposed. They are the ones whose word is to be
taken regarding the CVA not the governors of the TVA
states.
y.i So much, for the moment at
ments.
WAITING FOR ELECTION YEAR
.While President Truman is trying to put over the idea of
more inflation through government spending to combat de
flation (a short time ago he was asking emergency power to
halt inflation) he apparently chooses to overlook the fact
that before long approximately two billion, eight hundred
million dollars will be distributed in a special federal dis
bursement. And when we say, "distributed", we mean really
scattered, for it is to be effected by the return of excess pay-
ments made by veterans of World war II on their national
" service life insurance policy premiums. This means that the
government checks will be for relatively small amounts and
that they will be sent out to all parts of the country. Their
expenditure, for, in the main, they-will be spent, will affect
the economy of the entire countryNobody knows exactly but
somewhere in excess of 11,000,000 will be on the receiving
line.
Moreover, the effect will be
Ellsworth, U. S. representative from the fourth Oregon con
' gressional district, who comments on the plans for this so
called "dividend" in his Washington letter, it will take ap
proximately six months to complete the mailings. For a "shot
. in the arm", if that is what the country needs to bring it out of
the current recession, this distribution would seem to fill the
bill.
It has not been mentioned in the president's plans, however.
These feature, not repayment, but new spending, deficit
spending, on a grand scale. And deficit spending is merely a
high sounding term for squandering what we do not have to
become an obligation of the future, when we are even less
likely to have it. It is a promise to pay which, given in the
full knowledge of a fantastically vast existing debt, there can
be no intention of keeping. This, admittedly, is the process of
financial legerdemain by which the executive resort to pump
priming would be carried out. It is in no sense drawing
against a balance ; it is adding a minus quantity to an already
minus quantity.
But while this is the plan and while the sufficiency of re
imbursement to veterans is remaining unrecognized, the po
litical opportunities which this distribution presents are by no
means being overlooked. The timing, politically, is practically
, perfect. Payment is dated to begin early in January 1950. By
' the end of June it is hoped that it will be "substantially com
pleted". Not too long before election time in the fall to be forgot
ten by the grateful recipients, not long enough before that
same election time for the general economic benefits of the
disbursement to have been dissipated.
It will be wondered why the money which has been owing
all this time could not have been sent out this year just as
well. Perhaps it could, and this is our opinion. But then, there
is no general election in 1949. In the interest of administra
tion politics the veterans can wait until the year when one is
in the offing.

Smut Treatment
By Wet Method
Proves Popular
Although dry methods give Just
as effective control, use of the
newer wet, so-called slurry treat
slurry treatment, to prevent
wheat smut is gaining popularity
throughout Oregon's wheat belt,
reports an O. S. C. farm crops
specialist. Rex Warren.
Number of machines In use
has increased greatly within the
past year or so, the socialist
adds. To make use of Ceresan M
by the wet, slurry method, re
quires a specially built machine
designed to weigh accurately and
measure wheat seed as well as
the amount of treating material
used.
Big advantage the wet method
has over other treating methods
using Ceresan products is the fact
that obnoxious dust ami fumes
are eliminated. With the slurry
method, seed wheat must still be
allowed to set 24 hours between
treating and ' planting, Warren
emphasizes. This waiting period
allows full utilization of gas that
is formed by Ceresan M. It kills
smut spores.
Although water is used In the
slurry method. Warren states the
moisture content of seed wheat is
increased less than one per cent
oy proper use of this treatment.
New improved Ceresan. Conner
carbonate or basic copper are all
recommended smut control treat
ments. With new Improved Cere-
san. dust and fumes are objee-
uonaoie. copper carbonate and
basic copper, while effective, de
pend entirely upon direct contact
with the smut spores. Their use
is ineffective when mixing is not
thorough, the specialist points
out. A good many warehouses as
well as commercial seed treaters
have now installed the slurry
method.
Poor treatment which resulted
from short-cuts or cuttine down
on the amount of offensive ma
terial has been virtually elimin
ated through use of the automatic
slurry treaters.
Slurry treating seed as It comes
from the field will not affect cer-
mination If the grain is planted
within six weeks, Warren points
out. Holdover Ceresan treated
seed is planted 20 per cent heav
ier, me specialist advises.
Expense of Canal
Bridges Is'Problem
Madras. July 26 While resi,
dents "point with pride" to the
green fields of the North unit of
the Deschutes project a feature of
the development responsibility
for a half of the costs of con
structing bridges over ditches and
canals is creating financial con
cern on the part of the Jefferson
county court, it is leported by
County Judge T. A. Power.
Judge Power reports last week
that a bill recently received from
the U. S. bureau of reclamation,
federal agency in charge of build
ing the $11,000,00 system, shows
the county owes $123,666. for its
share of bridge construction cost.
NEW HOME RISING
Ashwood, July 26 New homes
are rising in this east Jefferson
county stock ranch and grain
country as well as on the North
unit of the Deschutes project's
irrigated areas. Roy Shrum is
completing a new ranch home on
Cherry creek.
The new place Is equipped with
hardwood floors, and Shrum- is
building a freeze-proof cellar.
Water System
Expansion Slated
Madras, July, 26 Earl Thomp
son, owner of a pumping plant
which lifts water (rum Opal
springs, in the canyon of the
Crooked river at the south edge
of Jefferson county, to a rim
side reservoir, where it Is sold
wholesale to become the source
of domestic supply for the Des
chutes Valley Water district, re
ports that his concern contem
plates spending $100,000 for ex
panding the pumping system
within the next year.
He said that $50,000 will be ex
pended this summer to Increase
the rapacity of pumping facilities
to 25.000,000 gallons of water
monthly. The . expansion pro
gram, It was reported, will in
clude construction of a new dam,
a new canal to turbine pumps,
two new turbines, two new
pumps and a quantity of new
pipe.
Plans New Contract
Thompson, who was here to
negotiate a new contract with the
water district, declared that oper
ations of the pumping system,
established In 1913, had shown a
loss for 30 years. The old con
tract, which expired on July 2-1,
provided water at a rat" ranging
from 30 cents per 1,000 gallons
down to 10 cents, the average
running around 17 cents, It was
said. The new contract under con
sideration provides for a sliding
scale ranging from 28 cents down
to seven cents and averaging less
than 20 cents per 1,000 gallons,
It was stated.
Whilo here Thompson con
ferred with County Judge T. A.
Power over aid In bettering the
access road down from the top
of the rim into the deep Crooked
river gorge. Waste water from
the fields covered by the North
unit of the Deschutes project, 11
was declared, now mnke the road
almost Impassable. Most of the
access road Is private.
The Deschutes Valley Water
district, in addition to supplying
all rural Jefferson county under
the reclamation system, furnishes
domestic water to homes In Cul
ver and Metolius and sells the
city of Madras a part of the sup.
ply for Its municipal system.
Madras, where on August's vot
ers will be asked to affirm a pro
posed bond Issue of 55,000 for a
new reservoir, gets a portion of
its domestic water from the sur
plus flow of a well owned by the
Union Pacific R. R. Co and used
In serving locomotives at the
IMadras railway, station.
