“AS YE SOW----- ”
•--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- «
One is caused to wonder sometimes about where a
country is going when it becomee customary to pass the
buck to the government on every matter. Nowadays, if a
city wants an airport, it sends a petition to its congressmen
if a community wants a park; it applies for a project; if the
potato growers want to raise the price, they ask to be made
a basic crop under the AAA, if a city wants to patch a street
it asks for government aid.
Now thia is fine for the cities and communities. The
local taxpayer is relieved of paying for the improvements
he enjoys and men are employed to do the job. Undoubted
ly public buildings and public parks are growing where none
were contemplated a few months ago, Yet there must be
an end to it all some day and it may be as sad as was the
ending of the boom times when the rose colored glasses
were snatched away by the ruthless hand of economic retri
bution and blue ones substituted.
American children were once taught that God helps
them who help themselves.” Now they are being tacitly
taught that the government helps them who won’t or can’t
help them selves One might reason that this left the deci
sion on the type of support clearly up to the individual, but
the government is nothing but neighbors and neighbors
neighbors throughout the land and it cannot be looked up
on as a perpetual giver.
-
'
We will spend as much in three years -1934, 1935 and
1936 - as was appropriated by the government from Wash
ington’s time to the end of the Taft administration. The
country became great, its people the best equipped to enjoy
life of any in the world on a policy of sparce spending by
the federal government. Now we are trying the other ex
treme. It may have the opposite effect.
NOT SO SMALL
Newspaper readers of this county were somewhat
startled last week to read an item naming this county as
the smallest county of the state. No doubt, it made the
story better, but the fact is that eight counties of Oregon
are smaller than Sherman. The very county in which the
article was written and printed is only little over half as
large as Sherman county.
Counties of this state smaller than Sherman are Benton»
Clatsop’ Columbia, Hood River’ Multnomah, Polk, Wash
ington and Yamhill. In point of tillable and tilled acreage
Sherman county is the second in size.
Perhaps the story and head line writers were thinking
of population, although they should have.said least populous
instead of smallest if they had that in mind. It wouldn’t
have been true anyway for two counties have fewer persons
^within their boundaries than does Sherman county. They
are Jefferson and Wheeler. So it looks like the story in
question was a mistake all the way round.
An Indian was knocked off the Wishram bridge in a
fight last week and died from his injuries. There should be
an SERA project to teach Indians not to fight on narrow
bridges.
