Sheepmen of eastern Oregon are protesting pro­
posed use of 140,000 acres of grazing land for an air
corps bombing range. Their protest is based on the
fear that target practice will damage the land which
they graze six months out of the year.
The area wanted for bombing practice perhaps is
among the most barren in the state, else sheep—the
original land-wreckers—would not be grazed there.
And it is a certainty that the army’s airmen must aim
their explosives at something, somewhere.
The incident fully illustrates how deeply-rooted is
selfishness in democratic peoples and how eager they
are to avoid personal inconvenience on behalf of their
country’s preparedness. Certainly army heads would
not have proposed the eastern Oregon area as a bomb­
ing range without due consideration of all factors in­ almost any and all republicans, that’s just our bedside
volved, and this seems to be no time to obstruct de­ manner; much of it is written merely for the nuisance
value of distressing our republican friends—our be­
fense plans.

ignore ’em. We just like democrats better, and now you

EXCEPT FOR ONE DIFFERENCE, THERE’S
LITTLE CHOICE BETWEEN PARTIES!
With a former democrat as republican nominee for
president, and with a former republican as the demo­
cratic vice presidential nominee, many voters are be­
ginning to wonder just what is the difference, if any,
between the two political camps.
As The Miner sees it, there is but one fundamental
difference which sets them apart. Both parties are
overstuffed with political grabbers, opportunists and
loud-mouthed scallawags, and each party has its sav­
ing percentage of sincere, capable men. Except for the
one basic principle which separates a democrat from
a republican, there is practically no choice between
parties as far as the average voter interested in the
welfare of his country is concerned.
That one difference is this: The republican theory
holds that the people’s welfare is best served from the
top down; that is, that if business is coddled and helped
and given free rein, business will benificently pass on
down to the common people its benefits. The demo­
cratic way is just the reverse—assist and protect the
wage earner and the small business man and when this
group prospers, big business will prosper as a natural
consequence.
Republicans believe that the fruit begets the
plant, while democrats proceed on the theory
that the plant begets the fruit.
So there you are—you take your choice of working
plans and proceed to lambast the other side with every­
thing you can lay your tongue to. However, one politi­
cal camp is not all virtue and the other scheming graft,
nor does one side work only to grab power or the other
to exploit labor.
Aside from the foreign issues involved, as far as
the United States’ welfare is involved, the election this 1
November actually will decide whether the American
people want benefits of legislation to go directly to the
people who most need it, or whether this assistance
will be routed through care of the captains of industry
who are presumed to be anxious to pass the benefits
on to the worker and small businessman.
The democratic theory is one of direct
action, the republican idea holds that business is
essentially honest and fair and that benefits
should be distributed through business. That is
the “restoration of confidence” about which we
have been hearing so much.
The Miner, as a member of that majority of Amer­
icans who depend on daily toil for existence, believes in
the democratic^theory of government. It is because of
this—and not because of a belief that republicans are
inherently rascals—that we in our small way plug
for the democratic party.
And as for this newspaper’s habitual fun-poking at
