State Logs In Security Loan Drive
For the first time since the Treasury Depart
ment began to appeal to the people of the country
to support its war activities with their personal
investments, the State of Oregon is not leading
the parade. During all of the w ar drives this state
led the nation cn the basis of quota obtained and
It also led the nation in the per capita purchase
of E bonds. In the present Security Loan drive
which is approaching its finish, Oregon has sold
only thirty-eight percent of the quota of bonds
Uncle Sam asked its citizens to buy when the
drive began in mid April.
According to Treasury Defvartrcent figures, total
bonds sold in Oregon since the beginning of the
drive amount to $3,CC6,3LS. The state's assigned
quota is $23,500,000. Of the amount sold, we have
no information relative to Morrow county's share
In the purchases. There has been no concerted
drive and it has been found that in this day of
fund campaigns, which have become so numerous
as to overlap each other, the public has to be sold
on each project in order to get response.
In the current drive in Oregon there have been
momentous happenings to divert the attention
of the people. Frist there was the presence in
Oregon of two political giants, Mr. Dewey and
Mr. Stassen. They had scarcely left the state when
one of the greatest floods of northwest history
swept down the Columbia basin. This made it
difficult to publicize the state on the bond drive
and the state director has had to trust to the
people's interest in national security, which in ef
fect is their personal security, to guide them in
making purchases. That this has not been a prof
itable method is seen in the results but we think
in this instance there has been some justification
for Oregon's lack of interest in national security.
There is still time to make up some of the defi
ciency if investors will go to the bank immediately
and make their purchases.
The Elder Statesman
When the smoke of battle has cleared from the
Republican convention in Philadelphia and the
next president of the United States has been chos
en by the delegates, there will be one number on
the convention program that will carry more
weight in the campaign to follow and cause
more serious thinking among voters throughout
the land than anything else said or done during
this hectic week in Philadelphia, and that will
be the convention speech delivered by former
President Herbert Hoover Tuesday night. The
ex-president, most maligned man of his time,
refrained from throwing barbs directly at the ad
ministration, while clearly pointing out numerous
weaknesses in our present set-up, and made the
issue facing the next administration one of world
leadership and acceptance of responsibility for ac-
NATIONAL CDITORIAL-nASSOCIATipN
complishment of a real and lasting peace.
It was noted that Mr Hoover refrained from NO
drawing the President into the picture in a per
sonal way. lie criticized where criticism was due,
but it has always been a characteristic with him
to make his criticism constructive by offering a
better remedy than the one in practice. Mindful
of the treatment he received 16 years ago, he no
doubt harbors a feeling of sympathy for another
man who is on the gTiddle in somewhat the same
manner he found himself at that time.
The only living ex-president, Mr. Hoover stands
unchallenged as his party's elder statesman, and
one of the great men of his time, nationally and
internationally.
Keep Good Work Going
Patrons of School District No. 1 are to be com
mended for their forward outlook on the school
situation as expressed In the vote at the annual
school election last Monday. This means that
changing conditions brought about by growth in
population are recognized and that the people
stand ready to meet them.
It is to be hoped the citizens of Heppner will
view the city's needs in the same light and give
the improvement program the substantial backing
asked for in the budget. Be sure to go to the city
hall Tuesday and cast your ballot.
Hawaii and Alaska are now running1 neck and
neck in the race for Statehood. Last week Hawaii
sent Sen. Guy Cordon of Oregon enough fresh
pineapple to supply the restaurant tables of the
Capitol. Alaska's "plug" was several hundred
pounds of salmon. It must mean something to the
world at large to realize that while territories are
trying desperately to become members of this
commonwealth of states, the countries adjacent
to Russia are trying frantically to avoid being
coerced into becoming members of the Soviet
Union.
All overmuch governing kills the self-help and
energy of the governed. Garden City (Mich.) Re

Iii answer to a constituent's complaint that in
flation was shrinking her husband's retirement
pay to a point below their basic requirements,
New- Deal Democrat Claude Pepper (Fla.) sent a
new cook book with -50 recipes designed to help

cannot eat grass along with soybeans and all
the Stuff the cook book says is so grand and nour
ishing. Sure the Agriculture Department is a
crazy bunch."
In 17S9 the attorney general of the United States

Governor John Hall Monday
spiked a Washington, D. C, story
that said he would call a special
session of the legislature to ad
just income tax revenues and
flood relief. In a telephone con
versation with Governor Pro Tern
Earl Newbry he said present em
ergencies do not require legis
lative action.
Oregon's ship of state was
awash with scuttlebutt when
Washington's reaction to the story
reached Oregon's capital. It was
comic opera agenda with United
States Senator Guy Cordon being
appointed secretary of the inter
ior (if and when) Ex-Governor
Jay Bovverman being apopinted to
fill Cordon's unexpired term in
the United States senate by his

bench.
BUILDING FUNDS APPROVED
The bottom of the building
fund barrel is just about in sight.
The state board of control and
the emergency board (with the
exception of Governor John Hall
and State Senator Carl Engdahl

single request. Approved were
requests from the board of high

$486,000 for restoration of Villard
hall and $15,000 for grading and
seeding the U. of O. emergency
housing project; $20,988 to com
plete construction of the new ag
ricultural barn at Oregon State
college, for which $49,382 was
taken from the restoration fund
when the original barn burned
several months ago; $30,000 for a
service building and sheep barn
at O.S.C.; $18,600 for a hay barn
at O.S.C., and $19,145 for reserve
officers arsenal at O.S.C.
LIKE GUESSING GAMES?
Somebody accused the Dewey
crowd of spending $250,000 in the
Oregon primaries. Then some
one else accused the Stassen
crowd of heavy spending. No ex
pense report has been filed by
either crowd so Monroe Sweet
land, Newport publisher and
democratic national committee
man, riled a formal complaint
with the secretary of state. No
soap! Attorney General George
Neuner says the aspirants were
not running for election only for
a preferential vote. How much
did they spend? You guess.
TIMBER HARVEST HEAVY '
Too many loggers in Oregon are
just talking timber conservation.
Too few are hewing to the line.
The new state timber severance
tax collections furnish a fairly
accurate gauge of the amount of
timber cut each year in this state.
The collections for Jhis tax for
the fiscal year ending June 30
will show an increase of 16 per
cent over the $300,000 collected
for the previous year, according

of the department of property as
sessments. The timber severance tax which
is 5 cents a thousand board feet
on all timber cut in Oregon, in
cluding timber harvested for var
ious forest products, is a part of
the state forest and research ex
perimental act passed by the 1947
legislative assembly. It is one of
the few acts the assembly adop
ted that the late Governor Earl
Snell proposed in his message to
the legislature. Governor Snell
proposed a tax of 20 cents on each
1000 board feet of timber cut in
the state. The amount was re
duced to 5 cents and the bill pass
ed after a long fight among the
timbermen from all parts of the
state.
Douglas McKay, republican
candidate for governor, in recent
addresses has emphasized the ex

warns that devastation of these
resources will affect payrolls ser

GIFT TAX REVENUES UP
The state gift tax, the most un
predictable of all taxes, is ex
pected to total over a quarter of
a million dollars for the fiscal
year ending June 30. .
A gift of a large estate may be
reported one year but not ad
justed and paid for some time.
Several such reports may come
in one year, then none of any
great taxable value may be re
ported for several years. Irving
D Brown of the gift tax depart
ment of the state treasurer's of
fice estimates the annual gift tax
revenue has averaged . about
$200,000 a year for the past ten
years.
