W ORTH E Q U A L S S E R V IC E
This is the age of the atom, the era of
development when the seemingly improbable
becomes fact. Science and industry' are
teamed for the invention of more effective
devices with which to do the work of the
world.
On May 22, National Maritime Day serves
to emphasize one industry which has con­
tributed magnificently to the growth and
development of the United States as the
world’s dominant nation. And in assessing
its future, we can but anticipate wonderful
accomplishments even yet to come.
The men who ply the seven seas, laden
with goods produced in the United States,
are practical missionaries of the American
way. Wherever they go, goes also their
homeland, and the goods they deliver are
little seeds of Democracy.
Since the dawn of the nation, the mar­
itime industry has served in peace and in
war, for business and for pleasure.
A s intrepid upstarts, in the days of sail,
American mariners sallied forth to challenge
the world. Their clippers trafficked the
China Sea, the tempestuous Cape Horn, the
Mediterranean and wherever the interests of
trade required.
A s steam came to the fore, the maritime
industry slipped somewhat in predominance.
Yet it fulfilled a significant role, made even
more valuable by the readiness with which
it shouldered the burden in times of war.
Fresh in the minds of American citizens
from the age of grade school students on
up is the recent, large-scale war, which took
members of the armed forces into practical­
ly every nation and every continent of the
world. How many o f us have taken the
p * „ 8 U, conaidtr and credit the^maritime
"iwsLiT. ^
If there is any glory in war, the Merchant
Marine deserves a share of it for the dil­
igent manner in which it transported the
endless materials to keep American forces
equipped in their titanic struggle. This rep­
resented a coordination of effort by many,
with the planning and execution by the ship­
ping industry completing a national task of
supply.
For its future, the maritime industry may
have high anticipation. W ith developments
of atomic energy for peacetime use, shipping
may expect a revolutionary advance. And
as the scope of industrial development
broadens within the United States, its job of
transport in trade will increase by mighty
l••Ilgths.
Should there be no other recourse in in­
ternational relations than war, even then
will the maritime forces find themselves in
the forefront of service. And, noting its past
record, shipping will do its task with speed
and efficiency in that respect.
For National Maritime Day, of May 22,
the eulogy most deserved for the industry
is a fair commentary on its service to the
nation and the national interest, during a
long and distinguished history. Shipping has
overcome many obstacles in the past and
will meet changing conditions of the future
with the same determination.
In practical evaluation, worth equals ser­
vice. The maritime industry may recognize
its own laurels in this.

Multnomah has flagrant open sewer

stagnant sumps is heavy and nauseating.
Yet. when the issue was put up squarely
before the residents, a sanitary sewer sys-
tern was twice voted down.
Tigard, too, has been taken severely to

basic school support fund by an annual tax
tevy, to be listed on the November election
ballot as numbers 306 and 307.
Whenever the words "tax levy” show up.
a little red flag pops up before the eyes of
property owners, warning of the money that
will be additionally taken from annual in­

the throes of poverty.
So it is, with this “Children’s Bill”, that
property would be by-passed in favor of
state income tax funds as the means of pay-
ing the increased basic school support funds,
The income tax applies to everyone, but no
more so than does the importance of high
standard schools And even with the pro-
|KJS6(I increase OI school support allotments,
property would still bear » heavy load in the
purely local school district taxes. The
“relief” for property owners from taxation
does not go all the way hut only cuts the
levy laid by local districts.
Equality of educational opportunity will
be nobly served by increasing basic school
support funds, b> spreading the obligation
of school financing among all the people,
pro|>erty owners or not, and by easing some
of the full load of operating costs in areas
where building requirements necessitate
heavy expenditures.
R O M A N C E F A L L S SHORT
Current shortage of railroad freight cars,
which has threatened curtailment of various
industries within the state of Oregon, high-
lights the ingenuity of the American rail­
roading industry in their placement of cars,
even in the face of the develojied crisis.
A freight car. of course, is a liability un-
less it is available for shippers’ use. And
the fact that empties are spotted where they
may l)e called into service upon request un­
derlies a romantic aspect of “the rails”.
