Americanism Theme
Of Many Activities
Americanism Is one of the major
factors in the program of the Amer
ican Legion auxiliary and the Amcr
Icanlsm committee of Capital Unit
No. 9 la ever alert to Its many ac-
1 Uvltles.
"What Is Americanism?" Mrs.
Ernest Rarey, national American
ism chairman of the American Le
glon auxiliary, defines It in this
way; "Americanism is that mode of
life dedicated to service to our coun
try and the adherence to the stand
ards and institutions belonging to
that which Is American."
The Americanism committee of
Capital Unit consists of Mrs. E. W.
Richey, chairman, Mrs. E. M. Brad
ford. Mrs. Walnard Rllppa, Mrs. Irl
McSherry and Mrs. A. S. Johnson.
The work of this committee Includes
all activities pertaining to the per
petuation of American Ideals and

Ultimatum Acceptance Halts Their War Service The honor of Lithuania, in event of war, would
have depended upon many of these cadets, members of the Lithuania National Military school at Kau

ropean war. The cadets are shown during a review. Associated Press Photo.
can democracy. The Americanism
program is educational in character
and is divided into three phases-
work with the youth, the adult and
the community.
A thorough knowledge of the Con
stitution of the United States is
held to be necessary to every citi
zen. Believing that many loyal and
earnest citizens may be misled
through lack of proper knowledge of
the fundamentals of our govern
ment and that for which the Con
stitution stands, the American Le
gion auxiliary is emphasizing the
study of the Constitution. This year,
since we are celebrating its 150th
anniversary, the Constitution is be
ing studied at each meeting. On
Constitution day. Judge Ro&sman
delivered a commemorative address
to the auxiliary members.
The auxiliary observes all patriot
ic holidays in their Unit meetings,
cooperates with the American Le
gion and other groups in the ob
servance of National Education
week, and donates patriotic litera
ture to schools and libraries. In
conjunction with the American Le
gion, speakers are furnished for
public patriotic occasions. The com
mittee is keeping in close contact
with the naturalization classes so
that assistance may be given when
needed.
A flag code contest, sponsored by
the American Legion auxiliary, has
Just been completed in the Salem
grade schools. 375 flag codes were
distributed and corrected by the
committee. Washington school won
the award, an American flag, for
the third consecutive year. Through
the Junior auxiliary, composed of
34 girls ranging from six and eigh
teen years, the auxiliary is carrying
forward many Americanism pro
jects and instilling the principles of
true Americanism, by combatting
all the subversive elements actively
at work today in the United States,
such as communism, fascism and
nazllsm.

Old raiting tradition was cast into
the discard today as police and vol

waters of the Susquehanna river lor
the bodies of six men believed
drowued in the crash of the "last
rait" against a bridge pier.
One man was dead. He was W. C.
Van Scoyoc, 66, of Philadelphia.
Missing were Thomas Proffitt
Chester, a news reel cameraman;
Dr. C. F. Taylor, Burgess of Mont

pilot of the raft, of Burnslde; Harry
Berrlngcr, of Tyrone; Malcolm Mac

Proffitt was recording the reen

51 huge white pine "sticks" hurled
all but one of its 48 passengers Into
the river.
In the "old days," which a small
group of elderly former rlvermen
and descendants of lumbermen and
raftsmen were trying to recreate by
a 200-mile voyage to Harrlsburg,
the death of a member of the crew

FRANKLIN T. GRIFFITH
Portland General electric Company
Electric Building
Portland. Oregon
Harch 16, 1938
To tb Voters of tha Proposed Northwest Oregon
Bonnerllle People's TJtlllty District;
ALL SAVINGS DERIVED FROM PURCHASE 0? BONNEVILLE ENERGY WILL BE
PASSED ON TO OUR CUSTOMERS.
The citizens of Oregon end especially those within reasonable transmission dis
tance from BonneTllle desire to secure for themselves any savings that may reasonably be
expected from utilization of the output of Bonneville. It should be of Interest to you
what such savings may represent and how they may be best secured without loss of any advan
tages the consumers now enjoy.
The two principal elements of cost In producing hydro electric energy are Interest
and taxes. Comparatively few men are required to operate and the plant will consume no ex
pensive materials. Ordinarily, Interest must be earned upon the entire Investment in a
hydro electric plant if such a plant were built by private capital. In the case of Bonne
ville, the Interest rate proposed Is only Z and such Interest will be computed upon only
Jll, 682 ,400 of the total present investment of $53,188,800. Not one dollar of the Federal
Investment at Bonneville will be subject to taxation.
The Government by allocating (42,000,000 of the present investment to navigation
ana oy exempting its property from taxation will have an annual fixed charge of $2,905,380
less than would be paid If the plant were built by private capital. It Is due to figuring
Interest on less than one-fourth the present investment , and entire freedom from taxation
that makes possible the low cost of generating Bonneville power of which you have heard so
much.
lir. Ross, Administrator of the Bonneville project, has repeatedly declared that
the cost of generation of electric energy is a very small fraction of the total cost of
delivering the energy to the meter of the average consumer and he has said, as might be
expected from any competent electrical engineer, that If the cost of generation were nothing
It would mean only a few mills per kilowatt hour in the charge made to the average consumer;
he correctly states that by far the greater cost is in transmission and distribution, which,
In the case of the domestic customers of the Seattle municipal plant, Mr. Ross declares to
be about seven times the cost of generation.
This company end Its subsidiaries, Yamhill Electric Company and Molalla Electric
Company, will pass on to its and their customers any and all savings that may result from
the purchase of Bonneville energy. He are interested in the progressive Federal development
of the navigation and power possibilities of the Columbia River to the end that our cus
tomers end other potential users of Columbia River energy may be assured of a bountiful
supply of permanently low cost electric energy made possible only by the prosecution of the
Government's plans for Improving the navigability of the Columbia River and the development
of power as incident thereto.
No competent authority has given you any assurance that the formation of a publlo
utility district will result in electric rates lower than tho8e you now have. In the
setting up of Rural Electrification Projects throughout the country, the Federal agency in
charge thereof has prescribed rates substantially higher than are now in force throughout
the territory served by our company. There is no provision in the publlo utility law
whereby any taxes can be Imposed upon publlo utility districts formed thereunder and this
means the taxes no longer pwld by the private utilities must necessarily fall as an addl-1
tlonal burden upon the Individual taxpayers. Bear in mind that the taxable property of the
private utilities is continually Increasing as service is expanded and the increasing tax
contribution of the utilities steadily grows in importance,
We urge you to vote NO on April 8th to preserve the advantages you now have and
such additional advantages as may result from the building of Bonneville, rather than to
embark upon a turbulent sea In which the only certain thing Is that your taxes will be ln
creased.
vry truly yours,
FRANKLIN T. GRIFFITH
President.
