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

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-

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

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.

County Buys More
Savings Bonds
Sales of U. S. 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.
