Our Thought for the Day
Again, that day has come
Alas, It is November one
The day we must greet
Not with joy, but defeat
For
More deductions from our paycheck we must meet.
They say it all is necessary
But we still feel quite contrary.
We just hope that Harry will
Spend It wisely if not well
For
More taxes makes us madder than all .
For defense we have no objection
We know we need the protection,
It's that payroll back In Washington
That gets our goat and then some,
For
More deductions from our paycheck means less
meat!
The American Legion
With the start of an Intensive membership drive
by the Heppner post of the American Legion, we
are giving that organization an opportunity to
tell its story in the manner of a guest editorial.
The ideals and purposes of the Legion are high,
and we feel there are many who do not know
what it stands for.
Freedom today is the watchword of America
and of the liberty-loving peoples of the world.
No one could cherish that freedom more than
the men arid women who have fought for it. Men
and women who have fought for that freedom
. . . and are, still fighting for it . .. are seeking
here in Heppner to strengthen their ranks.
Robert Corthell, commander of Heppner post
No. 87 of the American Legion has announced an
all out membership drive to enroll every eligible
veteran of Heppner in this post of the largest
veterans organization in the world.
Today, nearly three million veterans proudly
wear the American Legion button. That button
not only bears witness that they served honorably
irl World War I, or in World War II or in the
Korean conflict. ... but of more significance,
that they are still serving their God and country.
There are no ex-servicemen in the American Le
gion. The founders of the American Legion, when
they met in Paris early in 1919 only four months
after the Armistice that ended World War I
to find a way of perpetuating their wartime
association, struck an organizational formula that
probably could not be improved upon. They cap
italized upon the tested wartime comradeship of
the men who had won the first global war, to
give that impulse for continued mutual assoc
iation a flowing purpose.
Here is the Immortal preamble those tired,
homesick veterans adopted for the national con
stitution of their American Legion:.
"For God and country, we associate ourselves
together for the following purposes:
To uphold and defend the Constitution of the
United States .of America;
To maintain law and order;
To foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent
Americanism;
To preserve the memories and incidents of our
association in the Great Wars;
To inculcate a sense of individual obligation
to the community, state and nation;
To combat the autocracy of both the classes
and the masses;
To make right the master of might;
To promote peace and good will on earth;
To safeguard and transmit to posterity the prin
cipies or justice, freedom and democracy;
To consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by
our devotion to mutual helpfulness."
Certainly no segment of our people could be
more fervent in its desire for "a just and lasting
peace among ourselves and with all nations'
than those men who have felt the hardships and
pain of actual warfare.
Founded upon such lofty principles, the Amer
ican Legion soon became the largest fraternity
or veterans in the entire world.
If America will hold to those ideals, we believe
our country shall always remain "the land of the
free and the home of the brave," and that more
and more the voice of the American Legion will
become the voice of the American people.

HIGHWAY COSTS MAY SHIFT
Within the next two years ad
jacent property owners in Oregon
may be paying part of the cost of
constructing state highways.
None of the states now has such
a law. However Oregon was the
first state to have a gas tax law
and originated several other laws
now operative in many other
states.
This new proposal by State
Highway Engineer R. H. Baldock
has been given a great deal of
study and serious consideration

at recent meetings of the legisla
tive interim committees on high
ways. The question they have not
agreed on is what per cent of the
costs should be assessed against
the adjoining owner.
Many legislators have never
accepted the present plan of sad
dling all the costs of highways on
motor vehicle owners when others
share the benefits. They point
that many people benefit by the
multi-services brought to them
by the highways, including mail,
bus, service, shopping, express,
customers, visitors and others
who can drive to their premises.
The Interim committee may
have a proposal ready for the 1953
legislature.
TIPS AS WAGES
An investigation of Portland
night clubs was made this week
by W. E. Kimsey, state commis
sioner of labor who reports he
found tips were being considered
as wages in many places. The
not alarmed. He attributes the
drop to the long dry season in
June and July when logging
camps shut down and the heavy
gas-consuming log trucks were
idle. Also that a good many
workers have left the state to
work in defense plants.
LIQUOR BOARD MOVE MAYBE
The proposal to move the Ore
gon liquor control commission
from Portland to Salem where the
law says it shall be, met a boost
and a setback this week. The
boost came from the chairman of
the commission, Robert L. Elf
strom who says the next meeting
will be in the new $2,000,000 state
building in Salem. The opposi
tion came from the commission's
attorney, Gerald Norville, who
said most of the commissions era
ployees probably would have to
be replaced as only 28 of the 88
indicated they would be willing
to move to Salem. He also claimed
that the auditing and accounting
prevailing practice he said was to offices would have to remain in

state minimum wage, the pro
prieior expecting each woman
worker to make up her wage with
customer s tips.
At one night spot waitresseses
were being paid only 25 cents an
hour. The commissioner warned
employers that tips considered as
wages or part wage is in direct
violation of the state minimum
wage and hour law.
GAS TAX REVENUES DIP
A surprising drop in gasoline
tax revenues has state officials
worried, principally because it
started in June during the peak
of the tourist season that was
heavier than last year.
Assistant Secretary of State
William E. Healy is one who is
Portland because the bulk of their
work has to do with Portland
liquor warehouses and storage
operations.
CONGRESSMEN IN SALEM
A subcommittee of the house
public works committee were in
Salem Tuesday on their way to
Detroit dam as part of a tour of
five northwest power projects.

Rop. Homer Angell, Included Rus
