Destructive
Constructive, Not
TOO much damage to American
ideals has been done by petty
carping, and there needs to be more
of a tendency to talk about the good
things we enjoy here in America.
That, in effect, is the philosophy
propounded by James M. Burgess
in introducing his talk before the
chamber of commerce Tuesday eve
ning. The philosophy is a good one, and
one which newspaper ethics have
stressed through the years. Every
' one charged with a public trust
should be held accountable for lay
ing stress on the fundamental prin
ciples of democracy, upon the insti
tutions which lay the foundation for
such democracy. There is no time
like the month of February when
the lives of Washington and Lin
coln are commemorated to stress
with patriotic fervor what we here
in America enjoy through their sac
rifice. But all criticism may not be dis
missed as petty carping. There is
true and reasonable criticism that
is just as essential to preservation
of our American institutions as is
their praise. Protection has been
afforded since adoption of the con
stitution of these United States
through maintaining a balance am
ong the three major branches of
government the executive, the leg
islative and the judiciary. Any ser
ious threat of upsetting such a bal
ance needs airing, and a vigilant el
ectorate must at all times be main
tained to guarantee this balance.
Thus, it is the duty of those to
whom the people look as interpret
ers to give criticism where such
criticism seems due.
A self-contented people do not
progress. Adulation, while enjoy
able, does not prod. Necessity caus
ed development of the west, just as
necessity was said by the seer to be
the mother of invention,

State Income Tax
Assistance Set Here
The State Tax commission an
nounces that it will have a repre
sentative in Heppner at the court
house on March 7, 1941, from 8 to. 5
o'clock, to assist anyone wishing help
in making out their state income tax
return for 1940. Returns for the cal
endar year 1940 must be filed on or

linquency charges provided by law.
Every singgle persons (or married
and not living with husband or
wife) must file a return if his total
net income is $800 or more or if his
surtax (intangibles) net income is
$500 or more during the year. Every

$4,000 or more. Every partnership,
i
game is being played here that week
end, too. You always like college
basketball, even though you have
enjoyed it mostly from a chair in
front of the radio, so here is a swell
chance to see the top game of the
season first hand.
Another interesting feature is the
presentation of "The Taming of the
Shrew," which you will recall was
written by William Shakespeare.
Even though he isn't an Oregon
alum, Shakespeare has plenty of
spice in his style which makes the
play another "must see item.
The final joy comes with the big
banquet honoring the Dads and if
I know my "Dads" it will be plenty
worth while, both in speeches and
in humor.
If these events don't keep you
"stepping" all the time, the gang
will have plenty more to keep you
going. Dad, I honestly believe you
can't figure out a more exciting
or worthwhile week end, so do let

Affectionately,
The purpose of the school com- and evecy corporation authorized to
mittee here this week was to crit
icize our school in the light of cri
teria so far found to be most effec

should be constructive, as should
be all criticism. Those who criticize
only to tear down should be given
no hearing, but those who criticize
to improve must be given a place
with the staunchest patriots.

Ruth Green Wins
Letter Writing Contest
Miss Ruth Green, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Alex Green of this city,
got a big surprise recently when
she was notified that she had won
first prize irt a "Dad's day" letter
writing contest, conducted on the
University of Oregon campus where
she is a student.
The Daily Emerald, campus news
paper, carried Miss Green's name
in large headlines when the contest
results were announced, and in an
other column a campus journalist's
report of an interview with Miss
Green was carried. It related that
the letter had been written late in
the contest and dropped in the box
at the instigation of friends in Susan
Campbell hall, where Miss Green
resides. There had been no thought
of winning, so naturally Miss Green
was pleasantly surprised at the out
come of the judging.
Prize for winning the contest is
a specially autographed number of
the Oregana, campus yearbook, by
President Don Erb.
The letter, which is being sent to
dads of university students over
signatures of individual senders to
encourage attendance at Dad s day
festivities this week end, follows:
Dear Dad:
For once during my college car
eer you are being favored a letter
from me which isn't a gentle hint
that funds are running low and
would you please . . .
Quite to the contrary, the reason
that prompts this literary explosion
on my part is a very noble one.
However, I shall-lead up to it with
a little sincere sales talk.
You know, Dad, since I have
grown up a little bit, we haven't
had much time or opportunity to go
any place together. A long time ago,
when I was a "kid," we sometimes
went to shows and on trips and had
a lot of fun well, at least I did.
But you always had to do all the
planning and I just sat back and en
joyed the fruits of your labors. Now
I would like a chance to plan a good
time for you.
It happens that the week-end of
February 7-8-9 is the OREGON
DADS' DAY celebration, and I can't
think of a better time to "give my
dad the works" than on Dads' Day.
There are some very beautiful
$25,000 gates which have been erec
ted on the campus recently and the
Dads are going to dedicate them
while they are here. I'm positive
you would like that because, even
though your daughter (or son) un
fortunately has no idea what money
means, I'm sure you are aware of
the importance of such an expen
diture. The Oregon State basketball
