12 Capital Journal, Balem, Oregon, Saturday, Feb. 21, 1948 Keizer Fire Protection District Talked Again ' Keizer, Feb. 21 A great deal 'of agitation for a lire patrol 'i district has sprung up again in this community since the demol ishing of the Harvey Plummer home between Keizer and Che- niawa by fire last Wednesday night. The home and all its contents were a complete loss. Several residents and the clubs of the district are planning gifts to the family and Shirley Plum mer's class, the sixth grade, gave her a surprise gift of sev eral dollars Friday to help her replace in part the loss of her possessions. :. Last year petitions were cir culated among the residents of the district for the formation of a fire patrol district, some temporary officers were elect ed, meetings held and the ' pe titions presented to the county court. The petitions were re turned to the temporary offi cers to be more completely fill ed out but up to this time noth ing more has been heard about them. : With the summer only a few months away several small groups have met or are plan ning to meet at various homes to plan toward another mass meeting soon to see what must now be done toward forming the fire patrol district. It is hoped the meeting can be held sometime early in March, the place and date to be announced later. Drew Pearson (Continued from Page 4) Chairman L. A.

Harness will charge that the Army is continuing its propa gandizing at public expense, de spite a report by the House Ex penditures Committee last July clearly showing that Brass Hats were violating the law and had spent more than $50,000 of the public's money for lobbying pur poses. When called on the carpet, Secretary of the Army Royall said he had "no personal know ledge" of the lobbying campaign and he " h a d no apologies to make. Royall was technically right on the first point, since he be came Secretary of War in July, though as Undersecretary of War he should have known what was happening and used his in fluence against it. However, Congressman Har ness' second report will charge that since July the Army has been sending men from its new UMT unit at Fort Knox, Ky, to all parts of the country to make speeches before Rotary, Kiwanis, and Lions Clubs; plugging Com pulsory Military Training. The Congressman from Indi ana will charge that these arid other speeches are made at the taxpayers' expense. NOTE Whereas FDR had a great yen for the Navy, Harry Truman fondly remembers his days in the Army. Visiting with the Reserve Officers Association the other day, he said proudly, "I am still, a Colonel in the Re serve."

Actually, only $1,500,000 is needed to provide for the ed ucation of our children during the next year or two. This means that if we vote for the full amount, the people of School District" No. 24 (which includes Salem, West Salem and the immediate areas) will place in the hands of the School Board $2,000,000 on which interest will have to be paid. Moreover, a bond issue of $3,500,000 would raise the local tax levy to the highest figure it has ever been. Our present tax structure is an attraction to industries which we want and which would provide work and wages for the growing popula tion. If that tax structure is made less attractive, new industries will be discouraged from coming into this area. Let's vote against the $3,500,000 bond issue and vote for what is actually needed, $1,500,000, at the next election. Let's pay as we go and protect our tax structures and our credit rating.
