of work. 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

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

Presumably then* are persons
who arc happy over social se c u r

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*

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

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
