SUBSCRIPTION RATE, $3.00 PER YEAR SINGLE COPY, 10 CENTS It Could Go On Forever This column had all good intentions of letting our litle controversy with Stewart Holbrook die . . that is, until The Oregonian, last Monday, editor ially commented that maybe we shouldn't needle the gentleman too far. Their writer informs us that his encyclopedia tells him there are four di visions into which a community may fall: city, town, village and hamlet and that if we were to complain too loudly Mr. Holbrook might drop our rating another notch down to a hamlet. Maybe the Oregonian is right! After the pub licity his articles have given the city (?) maybe we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth but we rather doubt that our mild complaint will have much effect on future relations. However, we thought then we had a reasonable objection and we still do! The Oregonian didn't feel Itself up to the job of being judge in the controversy so we decided to fall back on the greatest of all authorities In the matter of words, Webster. A thorough examination of the New International unabridged volume hold ing down one corner of our desk gave us an In disputable answer we're both right. Naturally, we looked up the definition of. a city first and found this: "CITY In the United States, a municipal corporation occupying a definite area and subject to the state from which it derives its powers and far which it exists as an area of local government . . ." We believe Heppner qualifies. The Webster definition of a village was really helpful, "Any small aggregation of houses in the country being in general less in number than irl a town or city and more than in a hamlet." We feel we can prove our point and it looks as though Mr. Holbrook can prove his. As Heppner ites, we can all go on living in the "city" of Hepp ner, to Mr. Holbrook and the Oregonian, we shall continue to reside in the "village" of Heppner. One thing certain, though, no one can acuse us of living in a "one horse town", We KNOW we have more horses than that. ...il.mmii.PMMi iwmy j, "WAR IS NOT INEVITABLE" "Our foreign policy would be entirely different today if we thought that war was Inevitable," said Carlton Savage, Salem, who has spent the past 25 years with the United States state depart ment in Washington, D. C. and Is this week visiting relatives In the Willamette valley. "The Kremlin is out for a world dominated by communism and all of our foreign policy is for mulated with that In mind. As a central part of that policy we are building physical strength, hoping we shall never have to use it," Savage asserted. "There Is more emphasis on consultation with the military than ever before In forming pol icy," he added, "I deplore today's foreign policy scene as not a pretty picture, but there can be no clear cut policy that has all desirable features today; this is bad, that's bad, but you have got to choose one, and none are a very happy solution," he continu ed. NO STATE PROPERTY TAX For the 11th straight year there won't have to be a state property tax. The state tax commission made this statement in announc ing their state tax levy; that $87, 693,539 will be needed in taxes for state purposes for the fiscal year which begins July 1. This is $16,000,000 more than was used the past fiscal year. MUST CALL FOR BIOS All school districts are now re quired to call for bids on pur chases of supplies and other ma. terlals. Heretofore only the first class districts in the state were required to ask for bids. This change was made by the 1951 legislature and became ef fective August 2. MORE EMERGENCY TEACHERS There is a shortage of cer tified teachers in Oregon and while all positions will be filled it will require the issuance of emergency permit certificates for the 1951-1952 school year. . About 2000 emergency certifi cates are contemplated. Required qualifications very in different states and out-of-state teachers are given these certificates until they can become eligible for per manent certificates next year. DIGEST OF OPINIONS Recent opinions made by Attor ney General George Neuner in clude: Lands acquired through tax foreclosure and remaining un sold after time published for sale for lack of bids may be sold by county court under provisions of Oregon law, as amended, with out further notice. The Oregon law establishing domestic relations departments in certain judicial districts, was not Intended to change existing procedure of district and justice ourts in issuing warrants and of judges of those courts in acting as committing magistrates In connection with crimes mention ed in the statute. A person, other than a student, who operates a vehicle carrying students to or from school for compensation, is required to se cure a chauffeur's license. Small loan company's plan of "releasing" borrower and having him execute "collateral guaranty contract" as to part of former loan secured by note of which hewa s a comaktr, in order to per mit him to assume further lia bility within statutory aggre gate amount that it may lend him, icannot be approved by sup. erintendent of banks for use in Oregon. The1 attempted resale would not be effective.
