THE SOCIALIST STATE
When Franklin D, Roosevelt campaigned for his first pres
idential term it was as a champion of balanced budgeting and
economy in government. Elected, he unbalanced the budget
by approving a program of spending which disregarded com
pletely any income limitation.
When Harry S. Truman succeeded to the presidency, he
likewise championed the balanced budget but has tolerated
an increasing unbalance, witnessed by official forecast of aJ
live and one-half billion dollar deficit for fiscal 1950. The
attempted justification is that this is for the welfare of the
nation. In this explanation he seeks to redefine the term.
"welfare state" and so to soften the effect of the criticism that
he is transforming the United States of America into a "wel
fare state". By thus confusing the meaning and issue he at
tempts to put his critics on the defensive, to leave with them
the task of proving that anything called, "welfare" can be
other than good. It is clever sidestepping, adroit deception.
The term actually means the socialist state, which is being
promoted in this country by the Marxian tactic of confisca
tory taxation, taxation applied in every conceivable manner.
After the tremendous cost of government handling of the
receipts has been met collection, auditing, forms without
number, accounting, salaries and office expense of hordes of
needless and needed federal job holders the residue is avail
able for actual use and is returned to the taxpayers in the

"benefits", in duplicating interference with private affairs
and activities, all bearing the outrageous cost of admin
istration. Then, graciously, benificently, the Great White
Father bestows his bounty upon his people, who are supposed
to forget that they paid for it and were short-changed into
the bargain.
That is the phase of the welfare pardon us, the socialist
' state which is of immediate concern. Less immediate, but
inevitable, is bankruptcy or dictatorship or, more likely, both
bankruptcy and dictatorship.
If that is what "welfare" has come to signify, we may as
well discard the word for many still cherish the original
meaning and Will now be misled. If it hnn hprnmo a Hnmntv.i
Dumpty word ('"When I use a word', Humpty-Dumpty said,
'It means just what I choose it to mean neither more nor
less :' ") it had better be left to the use of those who say one
thing and mean another. No chance, we fear, that they will
abandon it. ,
The Saturday Evening Post, commenting on the ambiguity
which the term has gradually achieved or which, more ac
curately, has been forced upon it, suggests "Poorhouse State"
and "WPA State" as more to the point, while one of our fav
orite writers, Charles V. Stanton, of the Roseburg News
Review, suggests "Bankrupt State" as properly informative.
For our part, we think that socialist state, without capitaliza
tion and without quotes, covers all of these and tells exactly
what is coming into being in replacement of the freedom and
the respect for individual rights which were once part and
parcel of the American plan.

WASHINGTON COLUMN
We had always supposed that sawmilling of logs was for
the purpose of producing lumber but we now discover our
mistake. "Sawmilling of logs," according to a paper just re
ceived, "is conducted for the purpose of converting masses of
wood of approximately circular cross section of highly vari
able dimensions and quality to usable pieces of rectangular
section and practical length of the desired dimensions, quality
and surface characteristics." That seems to cover the subject

Nov. 30 This Is the last day
of November, and there's no Ret
ting around it Christmas is only
24 days away. It certainly isn't
tqo early to make preparations,
and it's a good idea to collect a
few recipes for special holiday
treats you n De maKlng.
Christmas cookies are fun to
make, good to eat, and acceptable
as gifts. A basic cookie dough
that may be cut in fancy shapes
and decorated is simple to make.
Thoroughly cream Vi cup short
ening and 1 cup sugar; add 1
beaten egg and 1 teaspoon grated
orange rind; boat well. Add 1
cups flour sifted with teaspoon
sail and 1 teaspoon baking pow
der; beat unlil smooth. Chill un
til firm; roll Ihin; cut with Santa
Claus and Christmas-tree cullers,
or cut around cardboard pal terns
with a sharp knife. Color Santa
Claus' cap, suit and bag with di
luted red-vegetable coloring, and
Christmas trees with diluted
green coloring. Press varicolored
decoretles into top of Santa's bag
and ends of branches. Bake In
slow oven (325 degrees) 8 to 10 j
, minutes. Use confectioner's sugnr
frosting for Santa's beard, white
trimming on suit, and tinsel on :
Christmas tree. Makes two to i
three dozen cookies. j
Thin sandwiches of orange-nut
bread are delicious for a holiday
buffet or party refreshments, 'lo
make the bread, sift 2 cups flour
with M teaspoon salt, 'A teaspoon
soda, and cups sugar; add 'a i
cup broken walnut meats. Com

spoons strained lemon juice, 1
tablespoon grated orange rind, M i
teaspoon grated lemon rind, and
2 tablespoons melted shortening;
add to dry Ingredients and stir
until just mixed. Turn Into
greased 4 sk x 8 inch loaf pan
lined with waxed paper. To line
pan cut one strip waxed paper
exact width of pan, allowing 1
inch to extend above ends of pan
convenient for removing bread.
Cut second strip of waxed paper
to fit sides and bottom of pan.
Bake in moderate oven (350 de

(NEA Staff Correspondent)
Washington (NEA) Once a
year the department of commerce
puts out the statistics which
show that Washingtonians drink
more liquor per capita than do
the citizens of any other large
town in America.
But what the night club and
bar owners here would like to
know is where they drink it. Be
cause they sure aren't drinking it
in the bars and night clubs.
The entertainment industry in
Washington is suffering the
worst depression in its history.
And nobody seems to know exact
ly why it has been' on the skids
since the war. But since congress
adjourned it appears to have
reached absolute zero.
It's not that the congressmen
constitute any sizeable clientele
of the local drink, dance and dine
spots. It's the swarm of free
spending lobbyists and visiting
firemen who are around when the
national legislature Is In session
that keeps the night club owners
at least in business.
The intriguing question is this:
Just what is there peculiar about
the citizens of Ihe city on the Po
tomac that keeps them out of
night clubs and bars? A night
club owner puts It a little more
elaborately:
"You're always reading about
Washington being the gay, mad
capital of the world. It s suppos
ed to be jumping with big spend
ers and international playboys.
What I want to know is where all
this goes on. it certainly goes
past my doors. Why don't you re
porters write the truth and tell
the people that this is just about
the deadest town this side of the
great continental divide wher
ever that it."
Bulletin Classifieds Bring Results
rants and sophisticated places of
entertainment. One pet theory is
that Washingtonians just natur
ally do more drinking and enter
taining in their homes and at pri
vate parties. Bill Kavakos, owner
of one of the oldest and most
prosperous night clubs in the city
in business .for 23 years
doesn't think this is exactly true.
He says:
"It's the bunk that there is a
lot of loose money around Wash
ington. Even the big shots in the
government can't afford to go out
for an evening and drop $30 in a
restaurant or night club. Con
gress just doesn't pay its employ
es enough to go out and have a
good time. And that's all there are
in this town, government work
ers." The most universal gripe of
the bar proprietors is against con
gress for the drinking rules it
has fixed for the District of Col
umbia. They think that this is
really the seat of the trouble. On
Saturday night all tippling must
cease at midnight.
"Saturday night is the time
when most night club operators
expect to make their profit," says
Norman Bomze, owner of the
Club 400. It was Mr. Bombe's spot
where the famous "secret" navy
picture turned up In giant size
on the wall as part of his interior
decoration.
"It's just about the two hours
after midnight on Saturday that
your profit is made for the
week, Bomze explains. "When
you don't get that you're almost
always in trouble like every club
owner in town always is," he
says.
Still nnofhrr night club owner
has this explanation of why bus
iness is so terrible in the capital:
"We always have run way be-
we fold. It's because they've ex
tended retail credit. People buy
radios .refrigerators and stoves
on time with only a small down
payment. Then at the first of the
month they discover what they've
done. The payments eat up all
their money and they have to
stay home. Congress ought to
put a lid on such credit. "

New York, Nov. 30 U A sharp

The drop in tea prices result

Fremont Journal
Note Today's entry to the Fremont
journal describes the trip from the hot
prims southward aeross the Present
Wsrm Bprinis Indian reservation. The
entry describes the rusned valleys thst
slash aeross the reservsUon. The In
fusorial earth mentioned by Fremont
was probably from a local deposit ot
diatornaceous earth, common In the Des
chutes formation.
November 30V-Our journey to
day was short. Passing over a
high plain, on which were scatter
ed cedars, with frequent beds of
volcano rock in fragments inter
spersed among the grassy
grounds, we arrived suddenly on
the verge ol the steep and rocky
descent to the valley of the
stream we had been following,
and which here ran directly
across our path, emerging from
the' mountains on the ngni. xou
will remark that the country Is
abundantly watered with large
streams, which pour down from
the neighboring range.
These streams are characteriz
ed by the narrow and chasm-like
valleys in which they run, gen
erally sunK a tnousana ieei oeiow
the plain. At the verge of this
plain, they frequently commence
in vertical precipices of basaltic
rock, and which leave only casual
places at which they can be enter
ed by horses. The road across the
country, which would otherwise
be very good, is rendered imprac
ticable for wagons by these
streams. There is another trail
among the mountains, usually
followed in the summer, which
the snows now compelled us to
avoid; and I have reason to be
lieve that this, passing nearer the
heads of these streams, would af
ford a much better road. -
At such places the gun carriage
was unlimbered, and separately
descended by hand. Continuing a
few miles up the left bank of the
river, we encamped early in an
open bottom among the pines, a
short distance below- a lodge of
Indians. Here, along the river the
bluffs present escarpments seven
or eight hundred feet in height,
containing strata of a very fine
porcelain clay, overlaid, at tne
height of about five hundred feet,
by a massive stratum of compact
basalt one hundred feet in thick
ness, which again, is succeeded
above by other strata of volcanic
rocks. The clay strata are vari
ously colored, some of them very
nearly as white as cnaiK, ana very
fine grained. Specimens brought
from these have, been subjected
to microscopical examination by
Professor Bailey, of West Point,
and are considered by him to con
stitute one of the most remark
able deposits of Huviatlle iniuso
rla on record. While they abpund
in general and species which are
common ' In fresh water, but
which rarely thrive where the wa
ter is even DracKisn.noi one aecm
edly marine form is to be found
among them; and their fresh
water origin Is therefore beyond
a doubt It is equally certain mat
they lived and died at the situa
tion where they were found, as
they could scarcely have been
transported by running waters
without an admixture of sandy
particles; from which, however,
they are remarkably free. Fossil
Infusoria of a fresh-water origin
had been previously detected by
Mr. Bailey In soeclmens brought
by Mr. James D. Dana from the
tertiary formation of Oregon.
Most of the species In those spe
cimens differed so much from
those now living and known, that
he was led to Infer that they
might belong to extinct species,
and considered them also as af
fording proof of an alternation, in
the formation from which they
were obtained, of fresh and salt
water deposites, which, common
enough In Europe, had not hither
to been noticed In the United
States. Coming evidently from
the locality entirely different, our
specimens show very few species
in common with those brought by
Mr. Dana, but bear a much closer
resemblance to those Inhabiting
the northwestern states. It is pos
sible that they are from a more
recent deposits; but the presence
of a few remarkable forms which
are common to the two localities
renders it more probable that
there is no great difference in
their age.
I obtained here a good observa
tion of an emersion of the second
satellite; but clouds, which rapid
ly overspread the sky, prevented
the usual number of observations.
Those which we succeeded In ob
taining, are, however, good; aiid
give for the latitude of ihe place
44 35' 23"; and for the longitude
from the satellite 121" 10" no".
Low Rent Housing
Needs Explained
The need for increased low-rent
housing throughout1 the north,
west was discussed by Roger
Spalding, of the Seattle housing
and home finance agency, public
housing administration, Tuesday
noon at a luncheon forum meet-
ing of the Redmond chamber of
commerce, in the.Redmond hotel.
Spalding declared that low-rent
housing is a major problem In
the entire northwest area, and
outlined a program for providing
lncreaseo. nousing iacnuies. He
discussed the housing act of 1949.
with special emphasis on the low-
rent public housing act.
The speaker explained how the
housing and home finance agen
cy can assist in housing pro
grams, and outlined a plan where
by a low-rent housing, project
could be accomplished in Red
mond. -
Present at the forum meeting
were some 40 members of the
Redmond chamber.
After the luncheon talk, Spald
ing made a 15-minute broadcast
from KBND's Redmond studios.
ACCIDENT FATAL
Salem, Nov. 30 (IP) Jesse G.
Mills of Portland was fatally in
jured in a three-car collision on
the Pacific highway, 99-E, near
Brooks late Tuesday. He died
in a Salem hospital two hours
after the accident.
Mrs. Adolph Doerner of Rose
burg, Ore., was seriously hurt
and her husband was treated at a
hospital here for bruises.
State police who investigated
said Mills was driving south when
he collided with the left rear fend
er of a northbound car driven by
Glenna B. Trupel of Woodburn,
Ore. Mills' car apparently went
out of control, police said, and col
lided with the car driven by
Doerner.
