Not Such A Great Gain
Monroe Swietland. democratic national chair
man for Oregon, may get some satisfaction out
of the fact that registration of democrats ex
celled the republican registration in Morrow
county prior o the closing of the polls. His point
was, of course, that registrations here and else
where througncut the state indicate that demo
cratic candidates for state offices will be in a
more favorable position at the general election irr
the fall.
It is true that the democratic party has shown
considerable gain in registration in Oregon. Not
a small number of the new people coming into the
state since the beginning of wartime activities
have been workers on federal projects, people
whose jobs have been contingent largely upon
their voting the right way. In cases of emergency
such as the war it is quite possible to move
enough people of one political faith, or at least
those willing to vote the right way, to swing an
election if the balance of political power is not
too heavy in the opposite direction. It is just pos
sible that this could have happened to some ex
tent a few years ago, but we are making no
accusations.
As to the situation in Morrow county, there is
little to encourage Mr. Sweetland as much as he
thinks he has been encouraged. A local election
situation caused numerous democrats to change
their registration to republican and some of these,
no doubt have returned to the fold since the first
of this year 'n order to be ready to vote their
preference in the primaries. If we are not mis
taken, the total democratic registration in the
county as present is very little different to the
normal count
What Is "Good Citizenship?"
Oregon City Enterprise-Courier
What dues "good citizenship" mean?
That question was asked this department by a
sincere and questing female citizen of the county.
We call her a citizen on the basis of her past
service to her community and her desire to be
more of a good citizen.
First, let us differentiate between citizen and
resident.
A resident, taking the comparison backward, is
defined by Webster as "One w ho resides in a
place; one who dwells in a place of more or less
duration."
A citizen, according to the same authority, is
one who is "A member of a state; a person, native
or naturali7cd. who owes allegiance to the govern
ment, and w ho is entitled to reciprocal protection
from it ; citizen implies membership of, and the
tie of loyalty 10 a state.'"
There is much more in the definition of a citizen
The oAmerkan Way
THE PATIENT DIED
in Webster, mrst of which pertains to the citizen's
rights.
Nothing is said in the definition of a "good
citizen," or of "good citizenship."
So, what is "good citizenship" as commonly
acknowledged?
First, a good citizen owns property and pays
taxes Federal, state and local, to support public
institutions ard services.
Second, he gives of his cash to Red Cross, Boy
Scouts, Chamber of Commerce, etc., to finance and
maintain these semi-public agencies.
Third, he pays his bills as promptly as he can,
and thus helps keep the local economy on an
even keel.
Fourth, he gives of his time to community
efforts, often at a sacrifice of his own affairs.
Fifth, he insists that his family takes part in
community betterment programs and projects, in
which he leads the family participation.
Sixth, he maintains his registration to vote and
urges all around him to do likewise, and then ex.
presses himseb by voting.
Seventh, he takes part in political campaigns,
for it is upon politics of our two-party system
that the government relies, and any slackening
of interest or participation by those at the grass
roots weakens the system that protects our Constitution-granted
rights and freedoms.
Eighth, he should take a real and continuing
interest in the church of his faith and foster its
health and influence by his action and purse.
Ninth, he should study local, state and national
issues, make up his mind and support that de
cision with advice to those who make the laws
concerning such issues.
Tenth, he should provide for his family, through
insurance, savings and investments so that when
he goes to his grave the community will have no
obligation to tap its coffers to provide for what
the citizen should have foreseen.
Eleventh, he should be a friend of his fellows,
offering helpful advice when it is asked in places,
wherein he is expert or an authority.
Twelfth, he must love his fellowman; he must
not attempt advantage over those less fortunately

Author.)
We are sinners, all of us, most
of us in one respect especially;
sometimes unconsciously, some
times c n.sciously.
While I respect all the Ten
Comma. ulniems. the one that
appeals most to me is that which
advises us not to bear false wit
ness. Many of the world's troubles,
if not m.si of them, grow out of
the bearing of false witness.
Whether this sin is committed
deliberately or unconsciously, the
result is identical. It cannot be
excused on the basis of ignor
ance or good intent. It behooves
us to bear accurate and correct
w itness.
Because of the bearers of false
witness, many people in the
world today do not recognize the
disaster that is approaching us.
It is hard to understand how any
one at all familiar with history,
and of reasonable intelligence,
can fail to see that we are re
apeating in these days the coifr.se
that history has taken not once
but many times in the past;
from Rome, under Diocletian, all
through tiie years down to Eng
land, under the Socialist today.
That's not because the English
people arc not intelligent or
well-intentioned. They have be
come enamored of a vision and
fail to recognize the real factors
and the truth. They have become
obsessed with a convicition to
such an extent that they do not
see the things that are actually
happening and the danger in
their present course.
As in England, there are many
here in America who are putting
their trust in economic doctors
who know little or nothing about
economic anatomy. These same
people who do not think of per
mitting a surgeon who does not
have a thorough knowledge of
physical anatomy, to operate
upon their bodies. Why then do
they permit these economic
quacks, who know so little of
whatsoever of the fundamentals
of economics.
You and I must beware of these
Do-Gooder socialistic planners,
who bear false witness. We must
not let them prescribe for us,
much less operate.

What is the best variety of
this or that crop used in Oregon?
That is an impossible question
to answer, according to Dr. D. D.
Hill, experiment station agrono
mist, who points out that "Ore
gon" consists of at least seven
distinct crop regions so far as
climate, soil and other factors
are concerned.
In answer to the many ques
tions as to field crop varities.
however, the experiment station
men throughout the state have
joined in putting out a brief
bulletin which lists field crop
varietal recommendations by
regions. The listings include
small grain cereals and flax,
corn and forage and seed crops.
In each case it is made clear
for where, in Oregon, any variety
is recommended. An added fea
ture is a sectinn listing varieties
definitely not recommended. The
Station Bulletin No. 47ti is avail
able at the county agent's office
or from writing directly to the
college.
