THE NAME IS NECESSARY
It's strange, the many, many times
that newspapers have commented on
anonymous contributions, that peo
ple will still address communications
with a nom-de-plume signature.
When the request is justified a news
paper does not use the author's reel
name but it is the universal rule that
the publisher must know it.
The Sentinel's most recent contri
bution comes from Salem, is headed
“Legiaiative-Whiskey Hangover” and
is signed “A Delinquent Taxpayer.”
We would Rave no objection to pub
lishing the letter if the writer had
not been afraid to sign his name.

Indicative of the present trend of
thought is the recent statement of
Roger Babson, nationally known
economist, on the situaUon in Wash

relief rolls:
"In other words, every two work

Surely we are now paying too great
a price for legislation and relief.
