CONGRESS QUITS
Congressmen are entitled
to
feel tired after « x months o f
work at lawmaking, which can be
an onerous job i f followed fa ith
fully Also the summer weather in
the nation’s capital is not recom-
nftended for those who like physical
comfort- The little matter o f see
ing the constituents ia another
potent reason for temporary ad
journment.
Despite these excellent reasons
why congressmen might wish to
go home for a while there are
also some excellent reasons why
they should have stayed on the
job.
As fighters against bureaucracy
this congress has done better work
than any since the advent o f this
authority grabbing adminhdration.
When congress goes home it mupt
leave the power in th e hands of
the bureaucrats who they have
been trying to take power from
for the past six months. The best
way to build up the prestige of
representative government is for
the representatives to stay on the
job in tim e o f stress This they
should have done.

A little booklet, Wagons W est’
is being distributed by the Old
Oregon Trail Centennial com mis
sion. Written by Phil Parrish, R
telle briefly the story of th e treks
across the western plains to the
green and fertile valley o f Oregon.
Its brevity commends
it for
reading. For one reason it requires
but little time. For a greater rea
son briefly written historical sket
ches often give abroader view than
do more exhautive treatises. In
an outline one can see the whole
picture more plainly than if it
be obscured by the greater detail
of a longer work.
The Oregon pioneers just drove
across the .plains because they
wanted to get out o f the eastern
sta tes and go someplace elee.
They had their troubles, their f i
ghts, made their m istakes, died,
were born, on the trip. We doubt
if they considered them selves as
heroes or especially brave people
We moderns riding in our clos
ed motor cars on smooth h ig h

My it w sa impossible for th e pio
neers to cross rivers, when the
fact is th ey started from Missouri
and came to Oregon in a wagon
and they had to cross rivers. They
didn’t drive around them nor fly
over them and ferries were few
indeed. They forded them.
Many of us in Oregon have
never bothered to learn about the
trip early settlers o f this state
took to g e t here. Yet i t is a fin?
story o f human effort used to
overcome diffieultiee th at -required
rvsouroefulnem. Whether the pio
neers were ne’er do welle in the
east or not, they were capable and
resourceful men and women by the
time they reached Oregon.
