Greatest Gift
With Christmas aprroaching at a rapid rate
we are quite natural!) gift-minded. 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."

Welfare of Country
One of the results of the recent election, has
been K cause people to ponder over the future
course of the nation. 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.

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

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

sion will be able to secure 2000
cases of this war surplus goods at
$1.20 a quart. When the federal
tax of $5 a gallon is paid, freight
and mark-up added the sale price
is expected to be between $4.50 and
$5.00 a quart
STATES INSURANCE LEVY
In the operation of the state's
self-insurance system the state
board of control this week set a
levy of 22 cents per $100 of valua
tion on all state activities. 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.

OREGON'S CANNING INDUSTRY helps make

The canning industry supplied by thousands of
Grangers also helps Oregon business. Last year, for
example, the pack of 9,885,101 cases of vegetables, fruits '
and berries may not have been worth quite its weight
in gold ... but it meant a lot of money for distribution
among Oregonians.
This building of healthier people and better business
through sound, stable agriculture is a long-standing ob
jective of 30,000 farmers of vision who make up the
Oregon State Grange. That's why the Grange policy will
continue to be one that shapes the pattern of Oregon's
