We Honor the Dead
We Americans may grow careless throughout
the year about remembering our loved ones who
have gone to their eternal rest but there is one
day set aside for honoring them and that day
usually brings out the best in us May 30, Dec
oration day.
It is well that in the hustle and bustle of the
busy workaday world there is a day set aside
for us to'stop and give thought to those who
cared for us our own flesh and blood and friends
that were der. We observe many other days,
and weeks, throughout the year, but none have
the real significance that Memorial day carries
and this is evidenced by the homecoming of
many whose loved ones occupy grav es in the lo
cal cemetery.
Economy Program Not All
Political
While the Republican congress is receiving
much criticism from some sources for its econ
omy program, there are other sources which see
in the program a way to normalcy without run
ning the risk of a serious depression. They see
in the effort to curb federal expenses a possible
reduction in building costs and food and other
commodities. Especially is this true with rela
tion to building materials.
Pushing great federal projects along before
industry had a chance to recover placed a de
mand upon manufacturers that they have not
been able to meet. This has kept prices at a
high level and out of balance with economical
construction. By curtailing these projects, tem
porarily at least, stock piles of steel and other
heavy building materials can be built up to a
point where orders can be readily delivered ra
ther than filed for future delivery.
The economy policy may work a hardship
on projects that are under way, especially rec
lamation and power development in the west,
but these developments may be only retarded
and will not suffer as much from delay as they
would to go ahead under present exorbitant
prices.
There is a lot of excess baggage in Washing
ton and elsewhere throughout the country in the
form of bureaucratic servants which will not be
disposed of until funds for maintenance of their
jobs is withdrawn. If the Republican congress

What About That Trade?
This newspaper along with many others was
laboring unuer the impression that the city
council trade had been consummated and that
the Junior Chamber of Commerce was at liberty
le go ahead with plans for a civic building to be
erected on the property now occupied by county
road equipment, sheus and other buildings. How
ever, xt has been learned that such is not the
case.
Mention of this much-debated question is not
made at this time for the purpose of discussing
the merits of the trade. It is more to ask the
question why has the deal not been concluded.
Terms were accepted by both parties to the
trade but no trade has been made.
If it remains for the people to decide the mat
ter the people should be given an opportunity to
have their say. A special election is not advo
cated herewith, but it is safe to predict that a
majority of the citizens would favor the trade
if given an opportunity to express their pre
ference by the ballot
Rain May Be Coming
It is p'ossibie that before this issue of the Gaz
ette Times gets into the hands of its readers the
much-looked-for
rain man overlooked two or three good oppor
tunities to make himself popular with the wheat
raisers earlier in the week but the most that can
be said for his efforts was what weather statisti
cians refer to as a trace.
All signs failed Monday when black clouds
gathered in the south and pushed their way

BAFFLING STATUTE
A special force has been as
signed to answering the many
letters sent to the state tax com
mission asking about the provi
sions of the new community tax
law enacted by the 1947 legisla
ture which goes into effect July
Oregon s first community tax
law was enacted by the 19-13
legislature. Patterned after the
Oklahoma law it was discarded
when the United States supreme
court declared the Oklahoma
law unconstitutional on the
grounds that it was optional and
this provision made it possible
for use as a tax evading ve
hicle. The new law is mandatory. A
man and wife each have an un
divided one-half interest in all
accruements received after the
act becomes effective. Accrue
ments include rents, interest,
salaries, dividends and profits.
Exceptions to the joint owner
ship are gifts, inheritances and
compensation for personal in
jury. The present community
property law does not affect the
dowery rights of property ac
quired previous to July 5, 1947.
RECORD OF ARRESTS
The increase in law violations
during the past month is not
the spring head of a crime wave.
It is a seasonal occurrence ac
counted for by the increase in
motor vehicle tourists, week-end
travel and the opening of the
fishing season. Either fisher
men are getting conservation
conscious or the fishing is get
ting poorer. Ask any fisherman.
There was only one arrest made
for exceeding the bag limit. Of
the 27)6 arrests made for game
law violations more than two
thirds were for having under
sized trout, with fishing in clos
ed areas as the second most pre
valent offense. Arrests for mo
tor vehicle law violations total
ed 2687 while 4709 others ere
warned. There were 14 arrests
made for violations of the com
mercial fishing laws and 278 for
general crimes.
PAYROLLS SOAR
Payrolls in Oregon for the
first four months of 1947 show
indications of topping the pre
vious high established in 1914.
Payrolls for the first quarter of
this year totaled S195.000.000 to
$200,000,000, the highest of any
peacetime period since 1936 and
above the $191,000,000 in 1915.
The first oiterter of last year
was $145,000,000.
