Worse Than Dog Poisoning
It has always been the opinion of the writer,
and we think it is concurred in by all self-respecting
and law-abiding citizens, that a dog poison
er is the lowest form of man that a skunk is
to be regarded as somewhat of a gentleman
alongside of a person who would dispose of a dog
or any other animal in such an inhumane man
ner. This opinion has been changed after hearing
of an atrocity in which a household pet, a friend
ly little kitten, was the victim. This story estab
lishes a new low in the category of cruelty to an
imals. The friendly little kitten came up missing from
home. At the end of three days it was heard by
the little boy of the family who, not being per
mitted to cross the highway, called to his daddy
to go after it. The father responded and when he
approached the bedraggled little animal he
quickly realized wiiy it had had difficulty in
reaching home. It was blind - its eyes had been
eaten out by an acid. It was the painful duty of
the head of the house to dispatch the kitten.
We've about reached the conclusion that the
dog-poisoner is a gentleman or a lady -- com
pared to the low form of animal masquerading
in human clothing who would torture a helpless
little animal in this manner.

Shrine benefit auction sale in the afternoon, the
opening- of the Christmas season by the merch
ants in the evening, followed by the Shrine dance
at the Morrow county fair pavilion. The sale
holds the center of interest in the minds of those
who have a desire to aid the great work being
done by the Shrine Hospital for Crippled Children
in Portland and should be instrumental in draw
ing Shriners and many others from over the jur
isdiction of the local Shrine club. The holiday
opening, featured by turning on the lights, the
visit of Santa Claus, and the opportunity of the
public to visit the stores for a short period, will
give visitors and townspeople alike something to
do between the sale and the dance.

COMING
at the 64th annual convention of
the Iowa Bankers Association,
Dr. Nourse said:
"Today I am filled with amaze
ment and consternation when I
see the utter nonchalance with
which many business men, some
economists, and the rank and
file of citizens seem to be ac
cepting a national budget of 60
billion or 70 billion or even more.
"Only 10 short years ago, they
were panicked at the thought of
a national total debt of that
amount. It is no answer to say

In making out your Christmas list, don't
overlook your Uncle Sam. He will be looking for
a nice little check right after the holidays and if
you don't remit, Uncle won't be able to continue
his role of Santa Claus.
Another gift idea--Why not write a nice
check for the Community Chest, today. You
can't give to a cause that will aid motre people
whose lot is less fortunate than your own. Re
member, it is more blessed to give than to receive.
that the rise in the public debt
from 60 billion in 1941 to more
than 260 billion as an average of
the last five years has not brot
disaster. We have not faced the
consequences of that rise.
"Instead of a complacent feel
ing that we got away with our
financing of World War II, we
should be acutely aware that we
are just coming to the show
down." Dr. Nourse pointed out that the
Treasury, starting in 1951, will
have to pay 10 years deferred in
terest on E bonds plus maturi
ties of D, E, F and G bonds ris
ing from one and one-half billion
dollars in '51 to eight and one
half billion dollars in 1954, and
he emphasized that as we ap
proach this crucial period, the
cashing of E bonds for the last
five months has exceeded their
sale.
According to Dr. Nourse, we
have four alternatives: 1) hold
spending down to income; 2)
bring taxes up to spending; 3)
accept a deficit and its inflation
ary consequences, or 4) try to
close the inflationary gap by con
trol measures.
In my judgment, Dr. Nourse
could have eliminated 3 and 4
because if this country is to re
main solvent and retain its re
publican form of government,
federal spending will have to be
held down to income or taxes
brought up to spending, or may
be some of both. On any other
basis from here on, just as sure
as night follows day, this coun
try will go broke. All monetary
values of every kind and charac
ter will be wiped out and we'll
lose our freedom. We'll lose free
dom of speech, freedom of op
portunity, freedom of religion
and all the others. That, my
friends, is just how serious the
situation is in this country right
now.

SCHOOL STATE WORKERS
State department heads have
been doing something about ef
ficiency and economy of state
employment besides asking the
board of control for salary boosts
that will hold state employees on
the job.
In-service training courses that
are free to state employees were
begun last year as an experiment
by the state civil service com
mission. They have proven their
worth to both the state and the
employees. Many of the workers
who have attended the courses
are doing twice the amount of
complex filing that they did last
year. The aptitude of employees
to the various types of work is
ascertained by tests and almost
always both the worker and de
"We Americans love the short
cut," Dr. Nourse added, and went
on to say, "It is so hard to give
up spending or to accept a tax
burden. Lots of people would ra

a way of life. But then, when in

ANOTHER OREGON FIRST
Life Magazine has just finished
a news hunt through the institu
tions for mental treatment in this
country. The editors have decided
that the Oregon State Hospital
will be' the subject of an extens
ively illustrated article to appear
early in January.
Quote from a wire to Gover
nor Douglas McKay:
"The Oregon State Hospital fa
cilities are without doubt the last
word."
CHIEF JUSTICE ELECTED
The Oregon supreme court has
selected one of their number to
serve as chief justice for a two
year term beginning in January,
but Chief Justice Lusk says the
be a law,' that is, we demand
controls on other people."
The trouble with that is that
controls just won't stay put no
matter how hard the selfish
groups try to have them apply
only to "the other fellow."
Then there are those utterly
silly people who believe that in
flation can be controlled. They
don't pay any attention to his
tory or to the fact that every
time a control is applied, infla
tionary pressures are increased.
That's in exactly the same cate
gory as the fellow who tried to
sober up by drinking twice as
much as it took to get him drunk
in the first place.
name of the new chief will not
be announced until mid-December.
If custom of the high court pre
vails Justice James T. Brand, who
now is acting chief justice, serv
ing in the absence of the chief,
will be promoted.
ROAD FUNDS INADEQUATE
A recent estimate of gross rev
enue collected by the state from
road users next year shows that
there will be only about half the
funds available for construction
of urgently needed primary and
secondary highway projects.
State highway department sur
veys reveal that $30,000,000 a
year will be needed over a period
of 15 years to completely modern
ize the highways of Oregon.
The gross collections from road
users made by the state is over
$47,000,000 before the following
hacking down program:
$3,400,000 gas tax refunds.
$2,750,000 collection costs.
19 per cent to counties.
10 per cent to cities.
$1,000,000 to state police.
$11,000,000 for maintenance.
Balance to here $28,450,000.
Parks, equipment, bond retire
ment, accrued interest, rights of
way and other expenses reduce
the net to $7,500,000 for highway
construction.
This $7,500,000 with an expect,
ed $7,750,000 of federal funds
will finance only half of the am
ount necessary for 1951.

General George C. Marshall
WASHINGTON, D. C Support
of the nation's Red Feather cam
paigns was urged by General
George C. Marshall, Secretary of
Defense and President of the
American Red Cross, at a Com
munity Chest meeting here.
"I have a particular reason as
Secretary of Defense to ask sup
port for the Chest campaigns," he
said. "The community services
rendered by the Red Feather
agencies are valuable in them
selves, because they benefit every
body. But, as an ever greater
number of young men are called
into military service, a greater
proportion of our population will
be families and dependents of
servicemen. What you do to im
prove the welfare and security of
these homes has a strong effect on
military morale, and I know what
morale means to a military organ
ization. "We need in our present lives
a regeneration of the spirit of
neighborliness that characterized
the pioneer days of our expand
ing nation.
"It is the privilege of Commu
nity Chests and their affiliated
agencies to minister to the needs
of the individual. Giving volun
tarily to such a cause is a measure
of our fitness as citizens of a great
democracy," General Marshall
said.
