At the mo ment e are nut thinking of those gifts associated with the Christmas tree but of the greatest gift of all 1ILAL1H. If goi-d health could be given to evcrj body in this great land of ours it would be the greatest Christmas in recorded history. Since this would not be possible, the next best thing for us to do is to help continue the fight against an enemy that in 1944 took the lives of 55,000 persons and affected the lives of approximatel; 450,000 others. Look at these figures compiled on the 1944 record of tuberculosis: About 55,000 persons died from TB; the atrage daily census in tuberculo sis hospitals and sanatoria was 80,000 persons; about 110,000 persons ere admitted to tuber culosis hospitals and sanitoria; approximately 200,000 persons received treatment in tubercu losis institutions. Experts estimate that about 500,000 persons have TB at this time. iliat may represent but a small percentage of the nation's total population, yet there is every reason to believe that that figure can and will be reduced from year to year. Since 1907, when the American people first made Christmas Seals a part of their Christmas giving, they have helped cut the TB death rate by seventy-five percent. . . have helped save four million lives. Authorities state that death rates are highest among unskilled workers, lower among skilled workers and lowest among professional people. No worker is safe as long as TB exists. That's why the U. S. Public Health Service and tuber culosis associations are X-raying employees in industrial plants and communities. By finding TB as early as possible, the spread of the disease is held in check. You will receive a packet of Christmas Seals ere long. Vhen the little stamps arrive don't set them aside with a promise that you will attend to that tomorrow or next week do it today. That 100 cents you mail in to the county association will be matched by millions of other like contri butions from over the land in the greatest cru sade of the modern age. You will be doing your share toward bringing to realization for thousands of your fellow men, who ask only that their health be restored, in providing "this greatest gift of all."

Party lines were not drawn so tight in the pre-election campaign and now that the smoke has cleared and it appears the Repub licans in Congress are charged with the duty of looking after the nation's business it is interest ing to note that the GOP has accepted the joB as a mandate from the people rather than merely a partisan victory. The old game of politics will be played. There will be much criticism of the "ins" by the "outs", but with the Republicans in control of the le gislative branch only, there will not be an oppor tunity to build up a political machine such as there would be had the executive branch been in cluded in the election.. Strength of the GOP will be gained in accordance to the value of the legis lation enacted within the next two years. A sound policy of doing the most good for the greater number of people in fact all the people is like ly to have more influence on the 1943 presiden tial election than any amount of patronage dis pensing. The people have been through an era of that type of government and registered their objection in the most effective manner provided for them. It was a warning to any political party that 'we, the people" intend to live our American way, and any attempt in the future to tamper with our constitutional rights will be met with the same kind of a rebuff. Examples of the foregoing have been seen since November 5 in relation to the proposal that President Truman appoint a new secretary of state and then resign so that the Republicans could take over all functions of the government. That suggestion has been denounced by Republicans and Democrats alike, although the suggestion came from a member of Mr. Truman's own par ty. Republican leaders likewise have insisted that there is no reason why the President and Con gress can not get along together and accomplish much good for the nation. There has been no gloating by party leaders or by the so-called partisan press. There is rejoic ing that certain elements have been given a set back and there also is denial that the new Con gress will take a reactionary trend. The people will appreciate a halt on reckless spending, with a natural and gradual lessening of the tax burden. They are looking to the Republican party for leadership and if that is forthcoming the GOP will be the popular party when it is time to change management two years hence.

ESSENTIAL SAFC. TSS AND FREEDOM ? DEMOCRACY TITUTIONAU "CUSSION . 3VERNMENT. Capitol News Letter... The only effect the naion-wide republican landslide had, that help ed the GOP in Oregon, was to re duce the number of democrats in the legislature to 7, 2 in the house and 5 in the senate. The oldest po litical observer at Oregon's capital cannot recall a democratic con trolled senate. The last democratic controlled house was in 1937. when Harry Boivin, Klamath, was elect ed speaker. At this session the building of a new capital, to replace the old building which burned in 1935, was consummated but the cost and size were so held down that the new building was crowded the first year it was Occupied. Oregon is now the "solidest re publican" state in the Union sur passing Maine in the percentage of republicans holding office. Oregon democrats need not start wailing the "Little Boy Blues," however. Let democrats recall that Oregon has 11 tims elected a democrat gov ernor and 11 times elected a repub lican. That is counting Sylvester Pennoyer, a democrat, as he ran on the combined Democrat-Peoples ticket, and counting Julius Meier as not a republican, as he ran only as an independent. John Hall of Multnomah has the speakership of the house corraled. However, it would not surprise this writer if he should decide to turn it over to one of is cohorts. He previously has shown his generosity in a similar situation. The presi dency of the senate still is a horse race, with Senator Cornett on the 1 4. Ail inside-track with 13 pledged votei Senators Newberry, Jackson and Walsh, Coos and Curry, are still in the running with undetermined pledges. EMPLOYEES ASK RAISES Approval of increases in the sal ary of the governor and other elec tive or appointive officials of the state was made by the general council of the Oregon State Em ployees association here Monday. The group also asked that the date of the operation of the retirement ac be changed from "one year af ter the war has been declared end ed" to July X, 1947. Removal of the $200 limitation, which it the highest salaried state employee whose de ductions for retirement are matched by the state, was also asked. Nationally wanted fugitives and the pattern and methods used in es caping apprehension, and the apish and faulty reasoning of bad check artists were discussed at the Ore gon law enforcement officers semi annual meeting in Salem this week. Contrary to popular belief, crimin als as a whole, are not clever but average low in intelligence tests. They frequently are victims of a weak spot somewhere in their makeup and seldom are conscious that it is apparent to others. Their reactions, instincts and movement habits spot them . to trained en forcement officers as clearly as photographs. MORE WHISKEY Oregon whiskey drinkers who consider themselves connoisseurs of liquor are in for a big Christmas. Big name brands of whiskey, in tended for the fighting men over seas, has been made available to to whiskey monopoly state agencies Th Oregoft liquor control commis sion will be able to secure 2000 cases of this war surplus goods at $1.20 a quart.

This levy will raise $100,000 for the state re storation fund which now contains $300,000. Te value of state property is estimated, as of November 1, to be $45,268,000. Assessments were made by the board on the Canby, Springfield and Mount Angel coop erative flax plants for a total of $1919 for the fund.
