Farmers by now have received their acreage allotments for the 1955 crop which are final al though subject to late changes by- congress and the possible defeat of the allotments by an adverse vote of more than a third of the wheat farmers. We consider it impossible for the acreage allotments to lx? de feated, now or anytime, under the provisions of the present law. Every man in the United States with 15 acres in wheat can vote. Farmers of small acreages all over the country are finding out what a bonanza wheat growing can he. Far down in Georgia and Ala bama they are learning that it is easier to grow wheat than cotton or peanuts or corn—and more profitable, too. Quality doesn’t count. High and rigid price supports are the means by which the small farmers can take over the wheat business of the big growers and they will do it— are already well on the way. Big wheat growers can grow wheat more cheaply. But it is doubtful if they can beat the little grower very much if acreage is curtailed by a third or more. Big machinery is expensive. IX)wn along the creeks a one mule plow, a sack to broadcast from, and some brush burch for a harrow will produce a crop of wheat mighty cheap. Fifteen ac res, 20 bushels, $600, a year’s liv ing. Vote for it? Sure.. The only advantage modern machinery has is to cheapen the cost of production. It requires volume for successful use of big machinery. When big machinery cannot obtain the volume nor cut the price it is of no avail. How farmers vote here is of no Consequence. The little wheat grower— more and more of them every year— will take care of the rigid price system. And they will take care of the big wheat farm er, too. it under goyernment control. The dam pays no taxes. When, and if, some dams can be built with private money the northwest can have the power the experts say we will need. That is what is called “give away”. Say, a private company b u ild s the" John Day dam It wi(J pay taxes on its part of it. In 50 years the government will get the dam. Both the federal govern ment and the state government will regulate the charges made for the power from the dam. The people themselves will put up money through stock ownership or loans. It is really permitting the peo ple to do things for themselves instead of letting the government do things for them. Most of those who holler “give away” are those who believe in big government and subservient people, not in an independent citizenry. It Is a to talitarian idea and entirely out of tune with the kind of Ameri canism taught in school. History teaches that big gov ernment is more dangerous to the people than big companies, corporations or business. These organizations are under control of the government. They pay taxes set by the government, are often regulated by the govern ment, are even organized under laws made by the government. Big government makes its own rules. It is a proper function of gov ernment to dispose of its naural resources in order that they may be used. It gave away the land to homesteaders. Wouldn’t it have been a terrible mistake for the government to have kept it? GIVE AWAY REAPPORTIONMKNT Some editorial writers assume that the question of sovereignty has something to do with the subject of apportionment. They say, these writing boys, that it is perfectly right for states to lie represented in the senate as they are but that counties need not lie. States, they say, are sov ereign and counties are not. Sovereignty is a theory of in dependence. States were inde- I>endent at one time as a matter of theory only. It was a good word to get them to join the union. Actually states have nev er l>een sovereign because feder al laws have always l>een domin ant over those of the states. The people are sovereign un der our form of government in that they, through their repre sentatives, are the final word. But sovereignty is not a factor in the pro|>er decision aliout how delegates to a legislative body should l>e chosen. The constitu tional convention found a com promise decision that made re presentative government possible, a decision so wise that it has been followed by all nations hav ing a representative government —often called a democracy, which it is not.

This has served to prevent dictatorship by a majority which can be as bad a form of dictatorship as any read er of history well knows. Asia is an example of a conti nent in which government is run by cities. It would starve to death were it not for aid sent by nations with more sensible form of representation. The rural, the productive areas of Asia are rich in potential resources; and 'oor in actual production. The rule applies to Oregon just as it applies to any other place. Rural Oregon does not ask for control of the legislature. Such selfishness has seldom been voiced and then in Jest. But rural Oregon does want to have an effective voice in legislation because it has se many problems that are unknown to urban resi dents. W ANT From where I sit... We are continually amused at the persistence of those who hol ler “give away’’ when speaking of the present national policy about dams in the northwest. Of course, the expression is polltlcelly en gendered and not very discerning but it has come into use by some who have minds not usually available for political claptrap. The question about dams is who shall build them and who shall operate them. The federal government has liven building the dams. It is very seriously In debt and this administration has the sense to know that debt is dan gerous. It wants to cut down ex penditures. It may lx? that inter national affairs will become such that more funds fur armaments will tie necessary and the govern ment shouldn’t be over-extended. So, the government doesn't want to put out money for new dams unless it has to. When the government builds a dam It costs a lot more money than if a private corporation builds it. It costs more to operate Betty Christianson, W.M. ¡Isle Jones, Secretary IN T E R N A T IO N A L Iswigr No. 121 A.X A A .* Meets ui. the 1st ano 3rd Thursdav evening» each mor.iri V isitng members cordially in vtted to meet w 11 h • »- Howard Ross, W M . n.
