On the major issues arid con tests we have taken considerable editorial space previously to express our views and reasons for these views, in this selection we will give only a short discussion of the reasons for our choice. To persons who wish a lengthier writing on the various candidates, or more extensive pros and ens of the several measures, we urge a serious reading of their voter's pamphlet, where both sides present their views in considerable detail. It Jo happens that this year this paper gives its support to the entire Republican slate of candidates. This is being done not because of party politics, for we do not bel.eve in the prin cipal of "straight ticket voting," but because we think the men carrying the Republican banner are better qualified and offer a program better attuned 10 tho needs of the state and the nation than d the Democrats who are running. Our re commendations are: For United States Senator Guy Cordon We have given our reasons at considerable length during recent weeks. To summarize our opinion-Cordon will be working for us Neuber cor would be working primarily for Neuberger. For Representative in Congress Sam Coon During Sam's two years in Washington, he has developed into an able and Industrious legislator. In contrast to that of Ids opponent, Mb program is we believe, healthier for Oregon and the north west. The arguments we have used favoring Sena tor Cordon, l.gely apply to Representative Coon We did not support him in 1952, but we do so wholeheartedly now. lie has done a good job. For Governor Paul Patterson We believe Governor Patterson has proven himself as one of the finest leaders Oregon has , Ho is anything but a publicity seeker but has done an excellent Job of handling the a fairs of state. He Is a big man in a big Job and deser ves to be returned to office. For Commissioner of Labor S. Eugene Allen Little campaigning has been done for this posi tion which could well be made non-partisanBotlt men appear well qualified, yet Allen's statements coincide more closely with our ideas. For State Representative Charles A. Tom II.. has served this district well In the state legislature. His voting and the measures he has introduced shows careful study and an under standing of his job. He should be returned. For County Clerk-Harold Becket Neither Docket or Bruce Lindsay has had act ual experience in such an office, but Becket s the county bastile at Heppner. training and record give him an edge. MEASURES 1, Salaries of State LegislatOrB-Von flrormn h;is alwavs U ndemaved its legislators and they deserve a raise. If they set their own) salaries they will be more careful of the amount. t tha innroaco than if it were established by vote. They deserve more money and should have a say in how much. 2 Sub-dividing counties for electing state legislators Yes We can't see that any harm can come from this measure and it can be a benefit in certain areas. It will make little or no change here. 3 Mental hospital in or near Portland Yes This only clarifies an unworkable measure r.revinuslv anuroved bv the voters. It should pass. 4 Constitutional amendments how proposed by people Yes Effect would be to raise from 8 to 10 the r,,,mw,rC nf voter's signatures reciuired to place - . !,., Ihn hallnt It a constitutional ameiiuini:iii uii i"- should help to eliminate some of the crackpot schemes from the ballot, yet not offer serious hinderance to worthy measures. The state's ini tiative requirements have been too loose, as some of our previous "bed-sheet" ballots go to prove. 5 State Property Tax Yes Purpose is to limit the state to 6 mills in as sessing a state property tax. It is not a pleasant thought that the state will have to levy any pro perty tax, hut it will undoubtedly come before long. This limitation measure will give some de served protection to property owners. 6 Establishing Daylight Saving Time Yes Not a vital issue, yet it does have its import ant effects in many businesses (both pro and con). a; i,no aiMvt heiieved in it and like it and have yet to hear a strong valid argument against it, but each voter must draw his own conclusion !n',.o it cmintr tn net into a ficht on this one. lh- 11". r.- - - H D.MnihMinn TPrtain Fishincj in COStOl , . 1 w. - - 6trunmNn A question far removed from this area, but we ..!., n,o m.i.H for further legislation to con- ljur.iiiuii i" ... . v - tiol such fishing. 8 Repealing Milk Control Law No Our recommendation is contrary to our vote the last time this measure was presented to the voters, due partly to the fact that there has been con ..:,i,.,ii'mnrp mmmmi sense used in the admin- islration of the law since the last election, due largely to the many opposition points offered dur ing the campaign. Changes are needed in the law to give a more realistic approach to the problems concerned and indications are that they may be made by the legislature or the control board with in the next year or so. If they are not made, re l'al of the law may be the answer in the future but not now. ehnnlH nut a lot of conservation on Morrow County farms if used Mrs w p Button of Portland to our advantage . j: Virt tt'milf in ' nas neen spenuuiK ic . . ., d Heppner visiting friends and a Just announced is the U. &.

There are certain basic assur ances though that these foreign countries must give. They are, that the sale will not displace usual exports from the United States; that they will not be re sold or shipped to other countries without specific approval from us; that trade with Soviet bloc coun tries or countries controlled by Russia will not be increased as a result of these purchases and that the friendly countries receiving these products will not increase their exports of the same com modities to unfriendly countries Most of these sales will be made from CCC stocks. This act has been hailed as one of the great est strides yet taken toward put From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson The Wheeler-Gilliam Stock growers Association has just an nounced their 1951-55 bull feed ing program. The program will be carried out again as in the past years in the Gilliam county fair grounds at Condon. The goal this year, is 35 bulls for the feed efficiency test. The tests be gin December 1st and will carry through until May 1st. This is a four weeks longer test than last year. Bulls must have birth dates between January 1, 1954, and June 1, 1951 They also must he vaccinated for black leg and shipping fever. This year, the grain to be fed is wheat, oats, and barley mixture. A protein supple ment to bring the protein to 15 will lie used. Anyone who is In terested in consigning one or more bulls to this feeding effi ciency test can get application blanks from this office. All arrangements have been made for the fall meeting of the Morrow County Wheatgrowers Association. As previously an nounced, it will be held at the Lexineton Grange hall on Satur day, Oct. 30. During the day, the standing committees will meet and draw up recommendations and suggestions which will be presented at the annual meeting of the Oregon Wheat Growers League, which this year will be held in Portland on December 2, 3, and 4. A new committee has been added this year, that of the home economics. Mrs. H. u Campbell, Echo, is the newly elected chairman of this commit tee. The fall meeting will be chanced somewhat from the past in that committees will have a longer period to draft their re commendations. For those who Salt Lake City, the first of the annual meetings to be held in the west. Next years meeting will be held in Michigan. A profitable week was spent in meeting and discussing agricul tural programs with over 800 rountv aeents. present from all states except South Carolina and California. Starting the day out with breakfast at 7:00 and events lasting as long as mid-night, much was crowded into a day. Perhans the highlight of the meeting was an evening banquet with Secretary of Agriculture Benson as the speaker. Secretary Benson's talk, as well as a talk by Walter Carver of the Agricul tural Development Department of the United States Chamber of Commerce, W. R. Hare of the Oklahoma Livestock Marketing Kxchance: and Mr. Hooper, sec retary of the Utah Wool Growers Association and member of the National Livestock Meat Board From where I sit ... Joe Marsh Smitty's Not-So-Silent Partner Dropped into Smitty's gas sta tion last week and met his new partner who turned out to be a real talker. "What'U it be?" asked Smitty. Before I had a chance to answer I heard a strange voice "Fill her up! Fill her up!" And there was Smitty's partner -one of those parakeets perched next to the gas pump. "Took me a month," Smitty said, "but I finally taught him to say those magic words. It's sure paid off he's had a good influ ence on my customers." From where I sit, Smitty's bird may be good for business - and may get him a few laughs. But when people act like parakeets, they're not so funny. For in stance, those who keep insisting over and over again that their neighbors shouldn't have a glass of temperate beer with their sup per now and then. They're simply repeating their own ideas, with out any regard for the rights of others. Cop)!., Mi, United States lirrwen Foundation are not able to assist or take part in all of the committees, arrange ments have been made for these recommendations to be presented to the public that evening where further discussion and action can be taken. Featured during the evening meeting will be Dr. Carl Claassen, president of Pacific Oil seeds, Inc. Woodland, California, who will discuss Safflower pro duction and the basis under which that company are plan ning to contract for production of this crop in the Columbia Basin in 1955. Wheat farmers should be Interested in the entire day and evening program. While we are talking of the fall meeting of our Wheatgrowers Association some farmers may be j interested in knowing that Title of the newly enacted Agricul tural trade development and as sistant act of 1954 has been put Into effect Title 1, has to do with the disposal of surplus of agricultural products to friendly foreign nations.
