Any private insurance company can offer a better pro- jin foi a young person and can also pay something on death. Social security would be im proved if the limit was taken off tiie pjyineul so a person could pay on $5.000 or $10,000 if he wanted to. The money to be ob tained from it should be in direct relationship to the amount paid in. That eliminates the gambling feature and makes ft social se curity instead of Insurance There should be no age or re tirement limit. If a man wanted to quit at 55 he could start col lecting on ills payments and if he wanted to work to 75 he could do that anil if he wanted to work and collect at the same time he could do that, it is enough, we think, that the government en force its own policy as to collec tion; it might leave the time and method of payment to the cus tomer. The basic trouble of such a pro ~________ __ _______ gram is that ________ the government uses power to enforce it on the peo- pie. A private concern would have had to sell it which would, in itself, have made it better, m ore suitable, more variable. In addition government is so miserahlycostly and wasteful in administration There was a story in the papers a few days ago that may give a clue to how to reduce the cost of government that is causing the strangling taxes. It said there were 85,707 persons working for government in Oregon in April 1957, a good spell ago and in Itself indicative of the inefficiency of government. By now it may be up ten percent. The census bureau found that 108.0 persons per 10,000 were working for the federal govern ment In Oregon which Is less than the national average of 131 which Is a minor advantage even though we help pay for all of them. The slate of Oregon em ployed 105 per 10,000 and the national average Is 71. That means that Oregon has almost one and a half as many employees per 10,000 population as tlx* average state. That means a lot of extra services, a lot of extra cost or a lot of ex tra laying around. Local government In Oregon has 210 employes or offloers per 10,0(81 and certainly could get along with fewer. The pay Is higher In Oregon, too, and that Includes school teachers whose pay is higher than In adjoining states. Government has Increased until It would lx* laughable If it weren’t so absurd and something will have to is* done about it because the people aren’t going to pay for it. They’ve been shoved around long enough. The Sherman county courthouse Is populated by 15 full or part-time employees of govern ment. Half could do the Job anil probably five could do It lietter. And we do not think we are ex ceptionally had, either. The state Is the biggest offend er and at present the one crying the hiu 'est about taxes. If Oregon would reduce Its employee load down to the 71 per lo.ooo that is the avergae for states tax payers won hl he happier and the state would he goverrvd H(MT LI. SECU RITY 1 MORO. OREGON Presumably then* are persons who arc happy over social se c u r ity, who think it is a go»»,I and a successful program. We do not know any such persons. There are good things about social security. Everyone should put aside some of his income dur ing his earning years to care for his «»1<1 age and everyone has to under social security. It is con venient to have tin* aged with enough income that they »‘.in lx* independent. The concept of so cial security is good, caring for weak and elderly by use of the authority of government. In practice it is a deplorable mess. Because of the rush to put It lnt»i effect many elders obtain benefits far In excess of their payments; because of a desire to make It popular many were In- »•lu »*«1 who hail almost no w o rd L E I.I.O U RO SES Across the street a yellow rose hush has begun to bloom and all over the county in old flower gardens, alongside old homestead cabins, and in places where early dwellings once stood the same yel low blooms are coining out to defy the cold winds that persist into late May. 'fhe yellow rose of Sherman county Is a hardy plant with thorns that protect it against any hungry animal. Where it came from no one knows hut Its start might well have been brought across the plains in a covered wagon. We doubt If It is native to Oregon. It Is a double rose and very pretty, not a pampered prize winner, hut a durable, prac tical, persisent rose that can» be depended upon to bloom every spring, the peculiarities of weath er notwithstanding. 'fhe homesteaders had flowers in their gardens that went well with the yellow rose. Some brought bushes of the native wild rose to their gardens although they are most appropriate near some oozing spring The women of the 18NIL planted bachelor but tons and pinks; they hud seels of giant popples that were mostly ix*»| and of the small yellow Cal ifornia poppy. And there were flags that would grow along a border and give blue or white flowers ami purple lilacs came along in late May to meet the Memorial »lay deman»,. We are glad altout that yellow rose that can he seen so easily from the editorial window; glad that long years ago someone with a sens»* of lx*auty planted It and glad that no one with a modern sense of order has removed It. It is goo I to have something about to rem,ml us of the sturdiness of our homesteading ancestors. L XOTIIER I L \ GIMLIK k Senator Neuherger has proposed that the federal government re mit five jx*r»x.*nt of the taxes col lect»*», In each state to that state and Oregon’s senate president Walter Pearson, has given the I ea his blessing. To us It Is merely another crazy new »leal idea comparable to lift ing one’s self over a fence by the IxHitstraps. The only possible pur pose could he to equalize taxes hetw»*en what Is constitutionally sovereign states. Where do the legislators named FRIDAY. MAY 29, 1959 ¿ervke, ¿pray or brush.
