All manner of Important safety features have been incorporated in the machines as soon as proven. A great mass of literature stressing the rules of safe operation has been distributed. Years ago, working through the Farm Equipment Institute, the manufactur ers decided to open all patents to the industry which furthered safety in equipment design, and this has been the practice ever since. Now Farm Safety Week will soon be here it is to be observed July 20-26. And the Institute and its manufacturer members, in cooperation with the National Safety Council, are undertaking a new and vital safety promotional program. This program emphasizes that "modern farm machinery is designed for safe and efficient oper ation", and that if the operators follow the rules they will be safe, A new leaflet, 'Tips for Safe Tractor Operation", will be given free to all who want it by local farm equipment dealers. Special safety promotional material will be released to thousands of newspapers and magazines. TV spot announcements will be distributed on film to 500 stations. Here is a real opportunity for farmers every where. The equipment industry Is going all out in this comprehensive safety drive. Now It is up to the users to devote a little time and attention to a program that Is designed to save life and limb. Guest Editorial FROM THE NORTHBEND NEWS Unemployment Law Needs Study As Oregon business struggles to keep Its head above water during the current recession, it now gets another body blow in the form of increased payments for unemployment insurance. The politicians are going to have to do more about unemployment policies than just to dream up new pie-in-the sky campaign promises. The News has consistently advocated broad and purposeful unemployment compensation, and will continue to do so. but like drinking, it must be controlled. Our unemployment system is beginning to lose all relationship with actuarial studies and is becoming another excise tax on business, which is already surfeit with all kinds of burdens. We like the idea of a sound payment plan for people who are out of work, and we like the idea that this payment be large enough to meet the needs of the day. But we don't like, the chiseling; and we. don't like the idea that the employee pays nothing into the fund. We know one family in which the husband is working and earning a good salary. His wife is drawing unemployment compensation. We know of one merchant in North Bend who was asked for a job the other day and when he replied he didn't have one right at present, the applicant sighed relief and said, "Good, I didn't want to go to work anyway." As far as the local office is concerned, It does a fine job of trying to prevent chiseling. Very likely it is one of the best offices in the state, both from the standpoint of the worker and the employer, But the present law provides built-in abuses. The entire unemployment compensation pro gram needs close scrutiny by the next legislature. ODD ENDS... We're pretty well convinced now that before very long women are going to look like women again. For proof we offer: Even the women are beginning to make fun of the "chemise, bag and sack" styles. TO THE . EDITOR . . . To The Editor: I'm concerned, genuinely con cerned, for the future of agri culture and Its young farmers. The occupation and Its owner ship has been the foundation and backbone of this country, as the losing of it has been the down fall of almost all other countries. Pride of ownership, rural im provement, broadening of the tax base, thinking voters, conservat ion minded, and good solid citi zens against absentee landlords Is our strength. Oppressed rent ers, mined out soil (wind and water eroded), destroyed build I, investment of city capital want- fL l Yl L V ine only 6 on its Investment natS W ItN lOUl i enables It to pay 250 more than a farmer can. Why? Because a farmer has to pay the 6 inter est, 6 on the principal and 3 income taxes on the principal's payments, so it can readily be seen that if urban capital can pay $1000.00 per acre, a young beginner can't pay more than $40.00 or $50.00 and live. Then, too, these absentee land lords do not rent to young farm ers, no matter how good a repu tation they might have. Neither is character any longer much of an asset when applying for loans from the modern big chain banks. Now we've been fighting a w will civAitu;, m-oiiwycw uuuu- 14i 4 1 . . , ings, anything to lowe? the taxes - 5 lLtl and Increase the immediate reve-1 nues. That is what we are fac ed with on the other hand. Truly the saying Is true "a young farmer has to be a farm er's son (or his daughter) to get started farming". It's Impossi ble for a farmer to buy a farm and pay for it off that farm.
