Should Be A Record Vote
Imprest In registration has been above the aver
age here this year and there are reasons to believe
the ptimary nominating election will poll a heav
ier vote than has been the rule in recent years.
This may be prompted more or less by a wish to
see a larger percentage of the voters turn out and
do their duty as citizens, but there are reasons
why the vote can and should be heavier.
For one thing, there are vital issues and import
ant offices under consideration. The issues con
cern the county, particularly with reference to
road and hospital funds. The offices run from
president of the United States down to our county
posts. It is a big year politically and one in which
we should exercise good judgment when marking
up our ballots. But the main issue at the moment
is to get the vote out. As a usual thing the ma
jority of the people settle things according to the
best American traditions, but left to a minority
vote our political affairs more often than not end
on a sour note.
There will be little excuse for a light vote if
people wish to perform their patriotic duty. Rains
have made work in the fields impossible. If the
farmers can get to the polling places there will
be nothing to hold them back so far as work on
the farms is concerned. In the towns very few
people have to go far to vote and If there are mo
thers who feel they can not leave the children
long enough to go to the polls, here In Heppner
at least there will be a baby sitting service pro
vided by one of the women's organizations. In
addition to this service, a service organization
plans to provide transportation for elderly people
and others who find it difficult to get away from
home.
It is important that the right people are chosen
to fill our offices. The time to make the selection
is in the primary election. It is also important
that we have funds with which to build and
maintain roads and to support tne hospital. A
minority vote can "gum up the works" all around.
There should be a 70 percent or better vote tomorrow.

Dewey Inspires Confidence
Had not Governor Thomas E. Dewey taken time
out to visit Oregon and he's really been visiting
these past two weeks it is doubtful if his sup
porters could have rallied enough strength to
check the Stassen stampede which seemed headed
for a victory in Oregon such as took place in Wis
consin and Nebraska. Dewey was busy with af
fairs of state in New York where, for example, his
legislature only recently closed after depositing
1,027 bills on his desk for his approval or disap
proval. These bills, or most of them, will be
waiting for his return from his Oregon invasion.
But bills or no bills, Dewey's hat is in the ring
for president and he owed it to himself as well
as to his party to .get out here and meet the peo
ple. The meeting of these two young political giants
in Oregon has added zest to the national cam
paign and no doubt has strengthened the New
Yorker's chances here. There is a directness and
positiveness in the manner in which he discusses
issues and answers questions that leaves no doubt
in the minds of his hearers as to where he stands
or as to what he would do if elected president.
People all over the state have enjoyed meeting
Mr. Dewey and everywhere he has gone he has
picked up a substantial following. His visit has
upset the Stassen calculations, forevery day he
has been in Oregon has seen a swing in the New
. Yorker's direction.
How times have changed! It has not been many
years since eastern Oregon was considered a high,
barren, arid region, inhabited by jackrabbits and
coyotes, w hile on the west side of the Cascades it
never did anything but rain. Look at us now!

sheepman, was kicked in the eye
by a sheep one day last week. An
unusual occurrence, but John

they will make their home.
W. W. Cryder, supervisor of the
Umatilla forest, who has just re
turned from an inspection trip,
says the conditions tn the forest
are not favorable. There has been
but little water in the mountains
this year and the weather lately
has been cold. The water has
been lower than usual and grass
has been held back.

More Milk Cows Needed
To Meet Oregon Demand
Urgent need for more dairy
cows on Oregon farms is appar
ent in view of prospects for con
tinued population growth and
the fact that cow numbers show
an actual decline, declares H. P.
Ewalt, O.S.C. extension dairyman.
In Oregon now, there are ap
proximately 245,000 dairy ani
mals. Meanwhile, Ewalt points
out that as late as 1943 there were
290,000 head. In the prewar year,
1940, there were 262,000 dairy
cows on Oregon farms.
The extension dairyman states
there are now fewer cows in the
state than there have been at any
time during the past 14 years.
There are also fewer yearling hei
fers than at any time during the
past 14 years. There are also
fewer yearling heifers than at

any time during this same per
iod. This fact indicates that herd
replacements are going to be
more difficult to obtain in the
future, Ewalt states. Along the
same line he says dairy calf
numbers are low. In fact, the calf
population is lower now than at
any time since 1942.
Reasons for the decline in
dairy cow numbers are related
to conditions brought about by
the war, including scarcity and
high cost of trained dairy work
ers. Ewalt states that high pri
ces for other types of farm pro
ducts such as seeds and grains
brought about a shift from cows
to other types of agriculture. With
feed costs high, coupled with at
tractive meat prices, more rigid
culling of low producing animals
took place. As a result of this
culling, Ewalt says the average
production per animal in the
state has shown a considerable
jump, although there are not en
ough of these better animals to
supply current milk needs.
For the best interests of the
Oregon dairy industry, Ewalt
says dairymen need more than
ever before to use good sires, to
test for production and to save
more good calves as steps toward
having high producing, disease
free herds two, three or four
years from now. Do not depend
upon other dairymen for replace
ments, they might be using scrub
bulls, Ewalt advises.

NOT COMING HOME
Members of the Oregon con
gressional delegation differed lit
tle among themselves on issues
before the present session. Also
they are of one mind in staying
on the job in the national capital,
working for the people who gave
them their $12,000-a-year joos in
stead of going home and working
for their own interests during the
election campaign. They are
unanimous on another matter.
None of them are apprehensive
of competition.
WOULD BAR DOG PERI-MTJTUELS
Initiative petitions are being
circulated this week to obtain 18,
969 signatures to place a mea
sure on the November ballot that
would outlaw pari-mutuel bet
ting on dog races in Oregon but
not on horse races. The proposed
measure was prepared by State
Senator Frank H. Hilton of Port
land. A penalty of not less than
$5,000 or imprisonment for not
more than 5 years is provided in
the proposed measure for each
violation.
CAMP WHITE STYMIED AGAIN
The initiative petitions filed
Friday with the state department
to let the voters pass judgment
at the polls in November as to
whether or not the state should
acquire Camp White hospital for
use as a state institution were
2,000 signatures short of the re
quired 18.969. Sponsors claim
that more than 2,000 signatures
from the Medford area will be
forthcoming early this week. Leg
islation now in congress would
turn the hospital over to the fed
eral veterans administration for
use as a "dominiciliary home"
for disabled veterans.
Recently Governor John H. Hall
and Secretary of State Earl New
bry telegraphed Oregon's dele
gation in congress urging support
of legislation to turn the camp
over to the veterans administra
tion. WAR MOTHER HONORED
A plaque in memory of Mrs.
Emilie Giesy Hendricks, first
president of the Oregon chapter
of the American War Mothers,
was presented to the state this
week by the organization. Mrs.
Hendricks was the wife of the
late R. J. Hendricks, publisher of
the Oregon Statesman. She was
the mother of Paul Hendricks of
Salem, and attorney and repre
sentative in the legislature. Gov
ernor John Hall and Secretary of
State Earl T. Newbry spoke at
the unveiling of the plaque.
LOCAL OPTION BY PRECINCTS
A proposed amendment to the
Knox law which would provide
for local option elections in pre
cincts as well as in cities and
counties was started last Friday
when State Representative Joseph
E. Harvey of Multnomah county
filed preliminary initiative petU
tions with the state department
of elections. The proposed am
endment provides that when 10
percent of the registered voters in
a precinct sign a petition an el
ection must be called to deter
mine whether the sale of alco
holic liquors is to be permitted
within the precinct. The petition
has been forwarded to Attorney
General Neuner who will prepare
a ballot title.
All initiative petitions with
mesaures for the November elec
tion must be filed with the sec
retary of state, Earl T. Newbry,
department of elections, before
July 2, 1948.
WARNS OF OVER BONDING

Salem who is president of the
League of Oregon Cities will call
a meeting of the league to be
held immediately after the pri

valley and coast city officials.
Mayor Elfstrom has made a sur

western Oregon cities and finds
