Don't Neglect License Renewals
Nrglicenro is rousing numerous car drivers to
be haled Into Justice courts where they are as
sessed moderate fines plus court costs. There
eems to be no other word to fit the situation
quite so well as negligence as every effort has
been made to acquaint car drivers with the new
Oregon law which staggers the times at which
different permits have to be renewed, avoiding
the tremendous Jam of license renewal applica
tions which formerly occurred every two years.
Police, at the instance of the state traffic de
partment, have been checking cars In this county
and not a few of our citizens have been found
wanting in proper licenses. Due notice having
been served, there is nothing left but to place
the matter In the hands of the police to make a
more or less personal canvass of drivers. This is
accomplished by setting up temporary checking
stations and stopping all cars for the driver li
cense inspection and a checkup on lights, brakes
and other possible deficiencies which contribute
to unsafe driving. No person is exempt from the
checkup and no one has a squawk coming if
found lacking the proper license or if the old bus
doesn't fulfill the requirements of traffic law.
Traffic officials realize how easy it is to forget
they are human beings, you know and they
know the value of repeating warnings to the driv
ing public relative to regulations affecting high
way travel They also know that it is amazing
how little attention a large segment of the driv
ing public pays to the warnings. Hence, it be
comes necessary to bear down a little and this
is done as politely as possible, although it must
be admitted quite firmly at times.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found a state
ment from the office of Secretary of State Robert
S. Farrell relative to invalid and valid license
numbers. Check this over and see if you are in
good standing or are driving with a voided license.
Why Discriminate?
During the war the railroads carried the great
est volume of passenger and freight traffic in the
history of transportation. Service was maintain
ed at the expense of equipment and right-of-way,
both of which must be replaced at tremendous
expense. Since the burden of war traffic has
lessened the rail lines have turned their atten
tion to modernizing their properties, a program
that will take ten years and must be carried on
if the country is to be given the quality of freight
and passenger services it needs.
No one knows what the cost of this program
will be, but a fair estimate is $1,500,000,000 to
$2,000,000,000 per year. The magnitude of those
sums can be realized from the fact that the total
net income of the railroads was but $450,493,000
In 1945, and $288534,000 in 1946. In other words,
30 YEARtM Q)
all of the lines' present earnings would make
only a small dent in the projected improvement
budget
Borrowed capital, In addition to operating earn
ings, could be used for railroad betterment. But
investors will not put their money in an industry
whose profit rate is so low as to be unattractive
when compared with other and comparable en
terprlses. Furthermore, the railroads are faced
with the necessity of reducing debt if possible
rather than increasing it Adequate earnings are
the only way out
The public should realize that the rate increas
es now needed by lines are moderate in the light
of the general price and wage Increases that have
occurred since before the war. Industries or work
men can check their own price or wage advances
to prove the need for corresponding rate adjust
ments. The economic welfare of the country is
directly dependent upon the standards of rail
road service. These must be kept high, not for
the benefit of the railroads, but for the well-being
and security of the nation.
But railroad rates, like taxes, need only be
mentioned to bring forth a storm of protest from
certain classes of people and if the present re
quest of the companies is granted it will more
than likely start another round of wage demands
from the unions. Regardless of that possibility,
or we should say probability, the interstate com
merce commission should give the rate boost due
consideration.
Not 'Blue' Monday, But 'Wet'
Monday
Monday may have been "blue Monday" for the
women folk who insist on turning out the family
wash on that day, but to the grainraiser and
stockman it was Just what the doctor (or some
body) ordered. And why? Because more than
one and one-half inches of. rain fell over this
part of Oregon, including all of Morrow county
as far as inquiry reveals, and ranchers' faces are
wearing a perpetual smile. Not that it has been
too bad a fall season for a considerable share
of the county, but Monday's rain assured a good
start for all grain crops as well as giving the
grass a further boost.
Farmers will tell you that they have never had
better fall prospects. They can't predict what next
spring will bring but they know the fall is good
and with any kind of a break late in the spring
of 1948 a good crop may be looked for.
See you tomorrow afternoon at the Rodeo field.

LEGISLATIVE VACANCIES
Under the provisions of an
amendment to the election laws
vacancies in the legislature caus
ed by death or resignation will
not be filled by appointment un
less a special session of the leg
islature is called prior to the
next May primaries. Two seats
in the senate and one in the
house of representatives now ex
1st. The vacancies In the senate
were caused by the death of Sen
ator Lee Patterson of Multnomah
county and Senator Merle Chess
man of Clatsop. The resignation
of Representative Earl Hill of
Lane county, following the rul
ing of the Oregon supreme court
that he could not retain his leg
Islative post and also act as a
member of the state fish commis
sion, caused a vacancy in the
house. Rumor has it that Hill
willl become a candidate for his
seat in the house in which event
he necessarily would resign from
the fish commission.
TAX REDUCTION NEEDED
When State Tax Commission
er Earl Fisher told the Oregon
County Assessors association that
Oregon's per capita tax is only
$58 annually compared with
Washington's $73 and Callforn
la's $85, he sparked a campaign
of tax education. State officials
including legislators are plan
ning publicity on Oregon's ad
vantages that will be specific
ally for home consumption. Po
litically Oregon has led, with
Australian voting system, gas
tax and a great number of other
progressive movements which
have been adopted by other
states some by all.
Farmers who purchased Tilla
mook County Dairy Herd associ
ation dairy calves last winter are
proud of the way their calves are
developing out and will not have
too long a wait for these to be
producing cows. At the price of
butterfat they are not a bit sorry
they purchased these prospect
Ive dairy stock.
These calves will again be
available when high-producing
cows in the Tillamook associa
tion begin freshening about No
vember 1. Each calf is from a
dam with guaranteed production
and is by a purebred registered
sire, jersey, Guernsey and Hoi
stein calves are available. Farm
ers who are interested In dairy
stock would do well to secure
these good calves from produc-l
tion-tested dams rather than
pick up some common crossbred
animals.
Place your orders with H. G.
Smith, county agent, Tillamook,
or at this office. All calves are
$1850 f.o.b. Tillamook. All or
ders must be accompanied with
cash in full. Better order your
calf now to insure delivery.
Many orders could not be filled
last season.
Now Is the time to spray your
cattle herds for lice as they are
brought in from pasture and
calves weaned. The time to spray
is now even though there are
no signs of lice as yet. After the
lice begin to appear, the control
is more difficult and losses In
flesh and gain will occur.
There are three ways to follow
In lice control, spraying, dusting
and dipping. Since there are
many pressure sprayers in the
county, spraying is the most pop
ular method. Sprayers used for
lice control should develop about
350 pounds pressure for a good
job. In spraying care should be
taken to cover all parts of the
body thoroughly. This will re
quire about two gallons of spray
per animal. Cattle should not be

OCTOBER 27 NAVY DAY
In proclaiming the 27th day of
October, 1947. as Navv Dav. Gov
ernor Earl Snell asked that this
day, the second year of peace
and the first year of our unified
command, be set aside that the
people of the State of Oregon
may pay tribute to the men and
the ships of the United States
Navy.
"In all the waters of the globe
the governor points, "the men
of our navy stand ready to safe
guard freedom and to protect
our national independence. Thou
sands of men and women of this
state have served or now are
serving with the forces of the
navy, coast guard and marine
corps. The people of this state,
wish to express their gratitude
and sense of obligation to this
distinguished branch of the arnv
ed forces.
"It is, I think, noteworthy that
Navy Day and the anniversary
of the birth of Theodore Roose
velt fall on the same day. In
many ways the memory of Ted
dy' Roosevelt is a recollection of
the building of the navy to the
pre-eminent force it is today.'
POLITICAL POT-POURRI
Oregon will gain one represen
tative in the congress and more
votes In the electoral college
as a result of the 1950 census.
..."I like Ike," is the slogan ap
pearing on buttons issued by the
draft Eisenhower for president
league. ..."Beat Dewey" is the
dictum of a combination of the
promoters of both Taft and Stas
sen who have concentrated their
criticism on Dewey and Truman.
. . . General Eisenhower continues
to refer to his six-week-old pre
scribe that he "neither desires or
seeks political office.". . .Thou
sands of blurbs, referring to Hen
ry Wallace's indorsement of for
mer Secretary of State James F.
Byrnes' new book, "Speaking
Frankly," were never mailed. A
week later Wallace reversed his
opinion. The former vice-presi
dent is on his way to Palestine
to look over the Jewish-Arabian
trouble.
CAPITAL SHORTS
The address of Floyd (Bill)
Bevins is Salem, Oregon. He has
bought a home in the Capital
City and has a Job promoting the
hop industry. . . The state has col
lected $35,657 under the new law
taxing timber at 5 cents per 1000
feet money goes for forestry re
search. . . . Governor Snell has an
crowded too close in a corral as
they are easier sprayed when
they can move about. .
In selecting an insecticide to
spray with, DDT has been found
to be most successful. By using
a 50 percent wettable DDT pow
der at the rate of from 8 to 12
pounds per 100 gallons of water
you have a solution with a resid
ual effect that will kill all nits
when they hatch. One spraying
then should rid all cattle of lice
with the exception of a few in
dividual animals may persist to
be lousy. These will need to be
treated the second time.
...
The old adage about not miss
ing the water until the well
runs dry Is too true when It
comes to conserving our soil. Too
often it takes devastating floods,
gully-torn fields, or a dust bowl
to bring to our attention the
need for conserving our soil. And
top often that is too late. Stud
les made in lowa snowea that
around 105 tons of soil per acre
were washed away on unpro
tected slopes plowed up to pro
duce crops. On open tilled corn
land, the loss averaeed 67 tons.
On the basis of soil analyses, one
cubic foot of good black sou con
tains about 3 14 pounds of ni
trogen, 3 12 pounds of phos
phorus and 1 12 pounds of pot
ash. At prewar fertilizer prices,
the loss of 67 tons of soil would
amount to $59.15.
All over the country there are
farms which have been destroy
ed or nearly destroyed by the
ravage of erosion. But we should
n't wait until all our land Is In
this condition before we do some
thing about it. Strlpcropplng,
contouring, seeding of grasses
and legumes, erosion-control
dams, and similar approved prac
tices under the agricultural con
servation program will help pre
vent these disastrous soil losses.
And it's much more economical
to check the erosion before It
