MARCH 22,1985 NO WAR FOR US „ It looks like war in Europe. Possibly it is another of those war scares that often arise in diplomatic crises, - but there is apparently a real danger that the nations that so recently stopped fighting may soon be at it again tooth and toenail, cannon and bayonet. Americans may have difficulty in understanding the situation. For here the war is distinctly remembered as a period of intense mental suffering for participant and wat cher. However, with the exception of England, there is no country in Europe where there is a free discussion of public matters. Three large and important nations are under the rule of dictators and lesser nations control the press and in that manner public opinion to an extent that is dangerous. Any country or any people may be led to war if one man is given control over the news and if opinions contrary to his is suppressed. Here in the United States every side of any controversy is discussed every day and the people are able to hold divergent views of a policy. Therefore democracies are slow to declare war for there is always a party that disagrees with the war fostering element. This is one of the times for us to be thankful for our system of government that guarantees every man freedom of opinion and of criticism for it assures us, unle*s we succumb to propaganda, that we will not be forced to fight an aggressive war without our consent THE WIND If words of praise are to be written about our famed e stern Oregon Chinook, they must be written before the .5 season becomes so old as to be tiresome. Ordinarily t e lii st Chinook is a pleasuiable experience for residents ot Oregon’s upper pia eau as it usually comes to remove the snow and suck the frost turn the gicird ard herald the onset of spring. But as the spring wears on and the snow is gone and forgotten and the frost is long out of the ground the wind of en continues and takes from the ground the moistme that makes the frost possible Sometimes in such a cqse, we become a bit tired of the wind, even though faces are toughened and tanned to withstand it- Yet the country wouldn’t be the same without it. Great expanses of country that are treeless have winds as sort of a compensation for wide views and distant horizons- There’s the very breath of freedom in the wind. We like •t; the first ones- A Swedish prince has deciced to become an ordinary private in the social ranks.

A hundred and fifty years ago the daddy of them all was packing a gun in the French army and the family hasn't outgrown the old boy entirely yet. • Governor Martin has a mind of his own about legislation His vetoes of important bills have shown that He may not always be right, but he will always be governor, appar ently. The veto of the bill to waive penalty and interest on back taxes should aid tax collection in every county in the state although it will work a hardship on some who have conscientiously tried to pay. As a general rule the govern or has chosen the better way in standing for collection. The state legislature may have to re-enact the power bill at the next session unless the federal government does build the power lines. The proposal now made that the AAA should be divided into districts as far as income is concerned will raise a great row in the northwest. If this came to pass the northwest would have to put on enough processing tax to pdy for its own export corporation and as the surplus is about fifty percent of the total crop raised it would be • d r < reil ’c.
