EDITORIAL
On Trial?
The following editorial Is reprinted from the
Bristol, Rhode lilir., Thoenlx:
"A prominent American, John S. Knight, speak
ing before a group of advertising men in Chicago
recently, had tome very pertinent remarks to
make about our so called capitalistic system.
"There is a subtle campaign under way in this
country,' he said, to discredit the press and ren
der It less able to defend minority rights.
"'Perhaps we have failed to do a good selling
job Just as I suspect the advertising profession
must confess that it has failed somehow to sell
the capitalistic system to our own people.
"1, for one," declared Mr. Knight, 'grow ex
ceedingly weary of hearing how the capitalistic
system is on trial. On trial for what?
"'Has any other system accomplished as much
or provided better standards of living?
""Why Isn't socialism on trial in England or
communism in Russia?
"If capitalism is through, why are we asked
to provide the food, the money and the tools to
rebuild Europe?
"Thoughtful Americans should be on guard
against the insidious efforts being made to dis
credit a system that has been responsible for
this nation's continued growth and progress.'
"No economic system is perfection but it is a
bit sickening to hear references made to our
system being on trial, the implication being that
if it should fail, it would be supplanted by com
munism or some other ism. What have they got
that even comes close?"
That 1 Pet. Withholding Tax
Many employers are likely to overlook the one
per cent withholding tax passed by the 1947 Ore
gon legislature and which goes into effect Janu
ary 1. 194S. Small employers, particularly, are
apt to run into difficulty with the new regula
tion which calls for withholding on first pay
checks after the above date.
F. H. Young, manager of the Oregon Business
& Tax Research, Inc., has called upon the press
of the state to bring this new law to the atten
tion of employers that they may brief their em
ployes on it between now and January 1, 1948
and be prepared to meet its requirements. The
briefing should include the information that the
one percent is withheld on gross amount of pay,
before any other deductions or Federal with
holding. Another proviso which will cause headaches
for many employers is the "emolument" clause.
Board and room, housing and other items enter
ing into employees' pay must be added to the
base pay and one percent withheld from the
total amount. Mr. Young points out that this
"emolument" angle Is going to be a shock, a
neauacne, ior nospnais, livestock men, some
farmer-orchardists and industrial concerns that
give watchmen lodging quarters.
The ladies have been painting
and varnishing the basement,
finishing Saturday.
The men of the Community
Baptist church worked on tear
ing down and hauling the lum
ber of the building, bringing it
across the Patterson ferry and
on to the parsonage ground.
They worked Tuesday and Sat
urday. The football boys had their
annual duck dinner for the high
school students Friday evening.
Mrs. George Whipple prepared
it and it was an excellent din
ner, according to reports.
The first basketball game of
the season will be between Ir
rigon and Stanfield in the Irrigon
gym,

OREGON TRAFFIC DEATH
TOLL WELL UNDER YEAR AGO
Oregon's 1947 traffic death
rate is running well under last
year's toll of over 10 deaths for
each 100 million miles of car
travel, Secretary of State Earl T.
Newbry has announced.
In the first nine months of this
year, street and highway fatal
ities have averaged slightly
more than eight for each 100 mil
lion miles of driving. This rep
resents a saving of 37 lives over
the same period last year, offi
cials painted out, r.nd Indicates
a decrease in the overall motor
ing risk. The average death rate
throughout the nation for 1946
was 9.9, according to National
Safety Council estimates.
Safety men explained that
death rate figures tie in the
number of deaths with the am
ount of driving actually done.
