Let 'em Walk . . .
Many colums of space and many reams of paper
have been used in recent years by newspapers
and magazines to warn the public of the dangers
of picking up hitch-hickers yet it takes an occur
ance such as last Friday's to bring the true im
pact of the warnings into our lives.
This writer has seen the actual photographs
taken at the scene of the crime photographs that
are not printable in any publication meant for
the general public . . . yet we wonder if maybe
those pictures wouldn't convey a stronger mean
ingtell a more powerful story than all the words
of warning that could be written.
It seems a crime In itself that one American
must pass another deserving American on the road
and say to himself, "Sorry, son, but you've got to
walk ... I want to live," yet it seems that we must
do Just that, Our country has been built upon the
premise that "all men are created equal" and the
fact that all kinds and colors of peoples have been
able to live and work together in one nation is
the thing that has made the United States great.
Yet, It seems we must say, "DO NOT help your
fellow man."
Ray Barber is a soldier and at least 99 of our
soldiers are trustworthy and deserving of every
consideration we can give them, yet because of
the actions of one man, or a very few at the most,
we are forced to pass them all by when we see
them on the road.
We don't believe, any more than you do that
all hitch-hikers are criminals, yet we do be
lieve in taking reasonable precautions against
anything similar to the Boardman incident hap
pening to us or to our family . . . and, the simp
lest method is to "let 'em walk!"
WHO KNOWS?
Following last week's editorial comment about
Stewart Holbrook calling Heppner a village, we
received a call from a local resident who is a
relative of Holbrook's. She said the writer had
been called before on his use of the word village,
but she also asked for definite proof for him on
the truth of his statement in the same article that
the clock in the court house did not stop at 4
o'clock, the time the flood hit, because, as he said,
there wasn't any clock in the building until sev
eral years later.
We don't know ... but surely there must be
somebody around Heppner who can definitely
answer the question. Let's hear from them.
School Tax Before Court
The Oregon Supreme court was
petitioned this week to determine
if it is mandatory for a county to
levy a school tax of $10 per cen
sus child.
This tax has been in effect for
a number of years, but income
tax revenues have been used to
supplant it. Just to have the state
on the safe side of the ledger In
case of a decrease of income tax
receipts, the last legislature vot
ed to turn back the tax to the
counties.
Altho this weighty portion of
the tax problem is state-wide the
high court was asked for a man

school census.
The court's decision will affect
all counties alike, altho the Lane
county districts are the only peti
tioners.
In a recent opion Attorney Gen
eral George Neuner ruled that the
county courts in the state were
obligated to pay the local tax.
Employment Gains Continue
If employment in Oregon holds
up during the remainder of this
month it will establish a record
for July that is topped only by
wartime records. This is remark
able considering woods shut
downs because of low humidity
and this year's between-seasons
lull coming early.
Unemployment continued low
for July. Only 3,592 persons filed
claims for unemployment com
pensation during the past week
less than half of the 7,534 of a
year ago. This is the lowest for
July since World War II.
100 Million Mark Passed
Unemployment benefits paid
by the state of Oregon passed the
$100,000,000 mark last Friday.
Oregon's unemployment com
pensation commission was estab
lished 13Mi years ago, but it took
the first ten years to reach the
halfway mark. In the past 3
years payments of one-half of
this amount were made.
With employment as high as it
is at present, the commission
funds are a little better than
holding their own. Benefits paid
during the last fiscal year were
$10,652,000 and contributions
from employers to the fund were
$11,000,000.

ready-to-use paints which apply easily and dry quickly. Best of all,
she will find amazing new colors to arouse her artistic interest.

its own newspaper," said Rolf
Edbtrg, editor in chief of a large
newspaper in Gottenborg, Swe
den, when he visited state offic
ials at the capitol this week,
Swedish papers keep in close
touch with the business of the
government and the cantons
(states) and devote considerable
space to politics.
He was anxious to learn the
pattern of legislative procedure
in Oregon, as he has been a mem
ber of the Swedish parliament for
the past ten years.
When informed that Oregon
had recently finished its longest
legislative session, which just ex
ceeded 100 days, he expressed
surprise, and commented that the
Swedish parliament meets every
year on January 11 and stays in
session until May 31, then often
convenes again in the middle of
September and stays in session
until one week before Christmas.
Edberg, one of six Swedish re
presentatives of the Council of
Europe, is in the United States to
study American government, la
bor affairs and the public infor
mation industry.
Buy Fuel Early
Governor Douglas McKay urg
ed Oregonians this week to be

supply now to avert a possible
tight situation later in th? year.'
"Regardless of the international
picture," he said, "it is likely
that shortages will occur that
will make it difficult to obtain
or deliver adequate quantities of
heating fuels on the usual sched
