YEA» MÀI -i, I O M ___ E L E C T IO N DAY This is election day, a day on which Americans have J n op portunity to place a mark he re and there and have a mino s y in choosing their public officials. A minor say? Yes, because the persona who urged the candidates . .. >1__ » .r» « r i h n n n i ‘S to run had the dust b‘ Y» . who encouraged theta . y- or «nrvfidence confidence had anoi another »ay The voter is the final arbiter. Why do people vote as they do. We wish we knew. Nearly every candidate would love to know. Some appeal, other do not. Good reputation must play a part, a good appearance, the word of acquaintances, a piece In the paper, a voice over the radio. Some may be guided by the can dldate’s platform, what lie has done or what he says he will do, although that does not seem a major factor. There must be a multitude ot reasons, one tor each Individual. And It is the sum of them that decides the contest. Candidates advertise themselves in strange ways and probably most of them have little appeal to the voters. Perhaps a few pay muoh attention to a man who says he is honest, hard naiu working, «umiHR, intelligent ..........— unles — his reputation Indicates his pos- session of those characteristics, Frankness and a display of lg- norance, or doubt, are considered good strategy by some. Some try to look pretty, others stern and all try to look happy and smiling, Serious candidates are popularly supposed to l>ear a handicap al though the job may be a very serious one. Some run as “nice guys" when it Is known to all observers of government that “nice guys' are dangerous office holders because they may he nice to the wrong people. We don’t know and if we did we'd write a book aliout it, proving that even Ignorance has Its uses. SEGREGATION It Is difficult to appraise the thinking of the supreme court in the decision to ban segrega tion of white and colored child ren in schools. That it was a unanimous d e c i s i o n indicates much talking on the case by court members. For some years we have not had a great deal of propaganda from pseudo-liberals alwut the political dangers of segregation and the necessity of taking all races and religions into the so cial structure as equals. Very apparently such think ing comes from the minority groups that want to achieve a I>olittcal and social equality they are unable to win without the force of government. Many of Individuals Involved feel inferior and desire enforced equality to Ixtlster their lacking of self- reliance. Equalization of any kind us- ally results In a lowering of the average. Brilliant children in the south will have less reason to excell hereafter unless the south ern states arrange a school sys tem that will give them a chance. It Is not, nor has It l»een, our un derstanding that our constitution requires that conditions be equal for everyone. There must lu* room for Individuals to make bet- ter conditions for themselves and their children. This, we are sure, the south will do. G IV IN G IT A W A Y The economic world does seem very much askew when one n a t tlon has great surpluses of food and other nations have little or none. It makes It worse when the food happy nation is willing to sell or trade or almost give away its surplus to the food hungry nations. We are told by economists (those scientists who always know why something Is ImpossF hie) that giving food away dis rupts the economic balance of world trade. It probably would. Maybe it needs disrupting if some are starving because of It. Actu- In in the riee an fast at ing up lan iay be grow more ft* <1 and ant any that India dc esn’t more wheat going In this cc try we f L'OOd to waste the e of a ,f ne of land and the time o a farmers if we don’t find some way to reduce the supply of wheat. The ones wh ► will suffer most are the one ?rop wheat farmers. A part of the wheat growers want to hold the price up and raise less, a part want to let th f price go down and use their land, another part want some different system entirely. Congress appar ently doesn’t know what to do. Neither does anyone else. If we are committed to government management It must in the long run be done so as to keep the cost to the taxpayer as low as possi ble, because when times get bad (and they will) he will squawk and upset the whole thing. If we have the nerve to go back to re lying on supply and demand ex clusively It will require caution and some aid until the change Is made. Government aid might be res tricted to sending the wheat ov erseas, to marketing it. Surely we do not need a domestic sub- sl(,y to ^ave enough wheat raise« I an«l if all the money that i. Qn thflt w<?re put ,nto mar keting In foreign countries it might reduce the surplus. I HE O F L IN E Sometime in June it Is expect ed that the high tension electric line through Sherman county will lie energized and the power will go to the new nichel mine near Kiddle In Douglas county. A con tract between the company anil Honnevllle was signed this week for 65,000 kilowatts of firm power. Plan for the line from McNary to Maupin was based on serving this plant, then projected. Power will go straight to Kiddle, right through the Maupin sub-station. Construction of a second line through Sherman county depends on need for additional power at the plant or otherwise.

Savings Bonds In Oregon continues to l»e very high, amounting In April to $2,156,177. While this represents a figure slightly lower than April a year ago, total sales In the state for the first four months o f the year were far ahead of the same per iod in 1053. The people of Oregon have purchased $12,520,576 worth of Uncle Sam’s “E” and “H” bonds since January 1, a total 22'', larger than they purchased in the same months last year. According to the county chairman this very substantial percentage gain compares favorably with a 14% gain by the nation at large. The reports of sales in Sherman county of "E" and “II” bonds last month amounted to $(»076, well over April 1053. , B u d get 1953 54 EXPENDITURES FUND AND ( LASSIFH ATIDN B u d g et 1954-55 GENERAL FUND $ 360.00 Treasurer and Recorder Salary- 75.00 State Industrial Accident 200.00 Administration Library Fund 635.00 TOTAL GENERAL FUND WATER FUND 3240.00 Marshall 360.00 75.00 200.00 685.00 3000.00 2400.00 1000.00 760.00 200.00 2500 00 1800.00 1500 00 10990.00 Collector 6(H) 00 Water • labor account 750.00 Water • supply account 400.00 Park 2500.00 New Mains 733.40 1500.00 Power account 3000 00 Fir«' Department 3171 40 5146.76 11,990.00 TOTAL WATER FUND MISCELLANEOUS 400.00 Emergency 806.40 Power - street light account 403.00 2136 00 3000.00 Streets, walks, severs A ditch 25:19.20 4206.40 TOTAL MISCELLANEOUS DEBT SERVICE 368.75 Interest on bonds 84 42 . 2000.00 1000.00 Principal 1368.75 TOTAL DEBT SERVICE $ IK29O.I3 GRAND TOTAL EXPENDITURES RECEIPTS 250 00 60 00 4000.00 60.00 275.00 350.00 4995.00 2000 00 0900.00 1000 00 825.00 3000.00 4825.00 I 350.00 1000 oo 1350.00 17,850.00 State Liquor Apportionment Licenses & Fees Water Rents Rent of Property P.
