Iet's Keep Oregon Green
This is the season of the year when the least
careless tossing aside of a lighted match, a cig
arette that has not been properly extinguished, or
the live dottle from a pipe may start a fire that
can burn hundreds or even thousands of acres of
valuable pasture land and endanger buildings,
equipment and other property. It is seldom that
such acts are deliberate, for no one other than an
enemy within our midst enjoys seeing blackened
hillsides or denuded, charred forests. Losses in
pasturage and timber can usually be charged to
thoughtlessness, and it requires eternal vigilance
to educate the public to the necessity of learning,
thinking and practicing safety wherever highly
inflammable material is contacted.
There are signs that the fire condition is im
proving, although many weeks of dry weather
lie ahead, and it will be to the credit of the pub
lic if men and equipment are not to be called out
this year to fight open range and timber fires.
Make "Keep Oregon Green" your motto and
work at it.
Are We At War?
Whether or not we are at war depends upon
the school of thought we happen to train with.
One speaker or writer may contend that this is
just a policing job (the Korean incident) while
another speaker or writer may contend that this
is a hot war.
Soroptimisls returning from the Soroptimist
International in Seattle last week bring the re
port of hearing two speakers, one a military man,
the other a clergyman. The military man con
tended that the present imbroglio is not war (we
can't say why just at the moment), but may lead
to an all-out conflict if not settled hastily. The
following afternoon the minister expressed his
opinion. He had seen World War II service in the
British navy. He could tell his hearers how cold
the waters of Norway are because he had been
unceremoniously dumped into them by the ex
plosion of an enemy bomb on the ship of which
he was a crewman. He had tasted of many of the
bitter pills of warfare, had seen men killed or
The oAmerican Way
broken in body and health, just as men are be
ing killed or broken in body and health over in
Korea. World War II admittedly was warfare.
What do you think the present situation is?
"The snake has bitten and we are infected
with its poison," says the Arlington (Texas) citi
zen. "The only hope for Texas and the rest of the
South is to eliminate at the polls every candidate
who has become in any way infected by the soci
alistic virus. And remember, socialism, whether
by the name of New Deal, Fair Deal or what have
you, smells as bad."
This Isn't Progress
According to news reports, the next demand of
the United Mine Workers on the soft coal industry
will probably be for "less worktime and more
playtime." Little is being said about increasing
the basic wage rate, which was raised to $14.75 a
day by the contract signed last March. But union
officials are talking loudly about shorter work
weeks, longer vacations and other such benefits,
says the Industrial News Review.
It is certainly clear to anyone that, whether or
not the basic wage rate remains firm, these de
mands are for substantial wage increases by in
direction. For example, the union wants a 35-hour
week with no reduction in the present take-home
pay of the 40-hour week. Should this be gained,
it is obvious, coal's labor costs, which are now
higher than in any comparable industry, will
shoot skyward again and the price of coal to the
consumer will follow.
In that event, it is equally obvious, coal's com
petitive position with other fuels will again be
worsened. And then, inevitably, more markets
will be lost, consumption of coal will decline
and the number of highly-paid jobs available to
the miners will diminish. Labor will make paper
"gains" at a heavy cost to all concerned.
It is difficult to see how this can be consid
ered progress for labor. The miners now average
more than $70 a week, including part-time work
ers and absenteeism. Many miners earn upwards
of $400 a month, and some have $600 paychecks.
THE CLERGY SPEAK
By CEORGE PECK
Dr. Temple, Archbishop of Can
terbury, a few years ago made
the following ridiculous state
ment, ". . . it is true that the more
one has, the less there is for
others, so that each man's suc
cess represents corresponding
failure in his neighbors."
For this learned (?) Primate of
the Church of England, I would
recommend a course of reading
in American history. It would
astound him. He mould learn
that when the white man first
came to what is now the United
States, there were just a few hun
dred thousand Indians occupy
ing the territory, struggling for
a bare subsistence. Today, four
centuries later, 150 million peo
ple, including 325,000 Indians,
live in this self-same territory,
and have achieved the highest
standard of living the world has
ever known.
Yes, the same country, but the
white man pioneered it he till
ed the fertile acres and develop
ed its natural resources. He in
vented machines and gadgets,
and he worked. TODAY THE
POOREST CITIZEN OF THE
UNITED STATES IS RICHER
THAN WAS THE RICHEST IN'D
IAN FOUR CENTURIES AGO.
That would seem to knock into a
"cocked hat" Dr. Temple's bsurd
statement that, "each man s sue
cess represents corresponding
failure in his neighbors."
But Dr. Temple is not the only
clergyman or religious educator
who in recent years has sounded
off with such socialist drivel. In
their zeal for the welfare of the
common man, all too many
church dignitaries misguidedly
have been advocating some form
of socialism or collectivism for
the United States. It is refresh
ing, therefore, to know that there
are some churchmen who bitterly
and Mrs. Bernell Scott will begin
an old-fashioned revival. They
both play musical instruments
and sing special numbers. Come
and hear the word of God.

The late Pope Leo XIII, in his
Encyclical Letter, "The Condition
of Labor," wrote in part regard
ing the interference of the State
into the affairs of the individual
and family:
"Such interference is not only
unjnst, but is qurte certain to
harass and disturb all classes of
citizens, and to subject them to
odious and intolerable slavery. It
would open the door to envy, to
evil speaking, and to quarreling;
the sources of wealth would
themselves run dry, for no one
would have any interest in exert
ig his talents or his industry;
and that ideal equality of which
so much is said would, in reality
be the leveling clown of all to
the same condition of misery
and dishonor.
"Thus it is clear THAT THE
MAIN TENET OF SOCIALISM

for it would injure those whom
it is intended to benefit, it would
be contrary to the natural rights
of mankind, and it would intro
