We, Not He, Must Come First
The issues in Oregon's current political battles
are probably more clearly drawn at the present
time than they have been for many years. One
side never ceases to expound on the "great give
awav," and similar themes such as "vote for me
anll'il hire back all the (unnecessary) Bonneville
employees so they won't have to go on through
life working for some private company."
The other side has been waging a relatively
clean campaign of trying to inform the voters of
what they have done in their jobs during the past
terms and why they are doing the Jobs they are
now doing. The Democrat campaign has made
far more noise and infinitely more promises, but it
certainly hasn't made more sense.
On the national and state level, it seems to us
that most of the Democratic candidates have cast
their lot with the "show boy" of the group, Rich
ard Neuberger, and for the most part, are merely
echoing his thoughts and Ideas, though it must
be said in defense of some of them, that even
they have been loathe to go as far as has Neu
berger on a few occasions. We wonder if some
of his promises haven't even scared some of his
own parly members.
Even though the issues are as clearly drawn
as they are, we think the biggest thing for the
thinking voter to consider in all seriousness, in
the Cordon Neuberger fight, is the two men them
selves Is he sincere? Is he actually interested
in the great problems of the state, the nation
and of the world? Is he thinking of me and of
whal will be best for my area and for the nation
as a whole, or is he thinking first of himself . . .
and second, of the nation? Is he honest?
We firmly believe that Senator Guy Cordon is
sincere and that his record in the senate will bear
that out On every issue he has not voted as we
might have, yet his overall policy has been to our
liking and, we believe, in our best interest. He
has put serious work and study Into the Job of
being senator and nobody can accuse him of
compromising the facts or "modifying" the truth,
either while in Washington or during his cam
paign. He has been honest with himself and
with us.
By Dick Neuberger's own admission, he has
"modified" the truth on more than one occasion
to suit his own needs. He has told half-truths,
which, when the whole story is heard, has a dif
ferent meaning, not so useful for his purposes.
Writing of his own campaign tactics in a previ
ous election, candidate Neuberger said:
"As long as the business of rounding up votes
dominated my thought, I discovered an unconsci
ous inhibition on what I wrote. Truth . . . became
not the sole test! My eraser modified original
conclusions so they would be more generally ac
ceptable. And I was seeking only a minor office.
What might the Inhibitors have been If I had
glimpsed ahead the prospect of ... a United States
senatorship?"
Richard Neuberger, who is now running for the
United States senate, then and now has shown
that he Is thinking first, of Richard Neuberger. We
want our senator to be thinking first of his job
and of the people he was sent to Washington to
represent.
He does not deserve the consideration of the
voters.
Letters
This paper welcomes the comments of its read
ers and, in fact, urges that more people take ad
vantage of the Letters to the Editor column for
regardless of whether the writer's opinions are the
same or contrary to ours, we believe In the right
of the people to have their say in public print if
they so desire.
We continue to welcome letters, but as we have
said previously, they must because of necessity
and limited space in a small paper, be kept to ap
proximately 300 words or less. We recently re
ceived a letter which we cannot run because of its
great length it would take at least three full
colums in this paper. We dislike having to re
fuse publication to any letter, and especially this
one, because it takes a stand entirely the opposite
of what this paper is supporting, yet physical limi
tations make it necessary.
We try to tell our stories, both news and edi
torial opinion, in 300 or -100 words or less, and we
believe most people can express their ideas in the
same amount of space We don't want to have to
refuse anyone the right to express their opinion,
hut we have to ask again that they be kept to a
reasonable length.
The letter to which we refer concerns Senator
Cordon and the Hells Canyon dam and it is avail
able in our office for anyone who might care to
read it.

Word has been received from
M. I). Thobas, Extension agricul
tural economist and the Portland
Office of th( U. S. D. A. Agricul
tural statistician reminds us that
the after harvest survey of crop
acreage and production has been
.sent out to our farm people. We
hope that these have not been
overlooked and that they will be
filled out soon, and returned. Re
member, crop reporting is a ser
vice for farmers. Its success
hinges heavily on farmer re
sponse. Indirectly, use of the in
formation by buyers and sellers
benefits farmers. It keeps every
one posted on what to expect for
the future.

Farm purchasing power has
again been squeezed back as
farm prices dropped faster than
cost. Prices received by farmers
slumped last month with the in
dex taking the deepest dive so
far this year. Farm prices lost
everything that they had gained
from mid-July to mid-August
and a little bit more. The price
level now has been pushed to the
lowest point since 1950. Farmers
were paying higher prices for the
things needed to operate the farm
such as feeder cattle, fertilizer,
tractors and farm building mater,
ials but 'the things they needed
for the home were cheaper. Re
tail food prices for instance saw
the sharpest drop in any one
month since February,. 1918. The
lower price coffee, fruit, and veg
etables had a lot to do with the
drop in the food price index.
Farmers were paying less for
shoes. Meat prices too, went
down from August to September.
These declines, remember were
only from August 15 through
September 15 this year. Farmers
were still paying slightly more
for their clothing thanthey did a
year ago. Household furnishings
tnd household building mater
ials averaged higher last month.
Interest, taxes and wage rates
held steady. With prices receiv
ed going down 5 points while the
parity index dropped only 2
points, the purchasing power of
farm products lost an advantage

Mrs sarah Tnrhnoph returned vkited at the home of her

point below August but the same
as In June and July.
Now Is the time to be thinking
of controlling sheep ticks and
cattle lice. Best control can be
had if control measures are ap
plied in the early fall months.
At this time, the ticks and lice
are less abundant than they will
be during the winter. Wool and
hair is shorter insuring better
penetration of insecticides and
less material is required. If
sheep ticks are eliminated now,
they will not be present to mi
grate over to the young lambs in
the spring. Cattle lice build up
rapidly during the winter months.
They should be controlled before
they start their free loading. Ani
mals can be either dipped or
sprayed. A number of good in
secticides are available, effective
and inexpensive. These are DDT,
Methoxychlor, TDE, Lindane,
BHC, Toxaphene, Chloradane and
Rotenone. Follow the manufac
turers direction in mixing and
using these insecticides. Avoid
using chlofdane, toxaphene, BHC,
and Lindane on young animals
less than four months old. Lice
and ticks occur on any part of an
animals body, therefore, complete
coverage is necessary for good
control. For further details on
livestock pest control, you might
pick up a copy of extension cir
cular 561, "Livestock Pest Con
trol", from this office.
