The New Censorship Bureau
All sorts of political attacks have been launch
ed against the independent electric companies of
the United States by advocates of Federal pro
grams for development and distribution of elec
tric power, financed by the taxpayers and free
from taxation.
One of the most unfair examples of methods
used to prevent private companies from pro
tecting themselves against a Federal power mon
opoly is a ruling by the Bureau of Internal Rev
enue that to be deductible, advertising expenses
must be ordinary and necessary and bear "a
reasonable relationship to the business activities
in which the enterprise Is engaged." If adver
tising in opposition to socialized Federal power,
to protect the savings of tens of thousands of
stockholders from subsidized government compe
tition, doesn't bear "a reasonable relationship to
the business activities In which the enterprise
Is engaged" it would be hard to know what does.
Are the Investigators of the Bureau of Internal
Revenue to be censors to decide on the wording
of each power company advertisement? Are they
to be made part of the machine to advance
socialism In the United States? If they are, this
will be the biggest mass censorship of free speech
ever attempted in a free nation. If electric power
companies can be muzzled in this manner, the
same rule can be applied to any other adver
tising that opposes government competition with
private citizens. It is only a step further to penal
ize an editor for opposing editorially specified
government policies.
The politicians who figured out Internal Rev
enue Bureau penalties for free expression of
ideas on a public issue should be given a medal
by Mr Khrushchev.

TO THE
EDITOR . . .
To The Editor:
Enclosed Is a clipping from the
Cowlitz County Advocate an
nouncing the death of Mrs Mary
M E.Yan Hardenberg who lives Just
two blocks down the street from
us. Mrs Hardenberg was the for
mer wife of A J Hicks, who
in the fall of 1891, came to Hepp
ner where he bought out the
Heppner Gazette. He edited this
paper for a few months then sold
out and came to Castle Rock,
Wash where he purchased the
Cowlitz County Advocate. At the
time the Hick s family lived In
Heppner, they had three daugh
ters and two sons, all going to
the Heppner schools.
Then, In 1910, Mr Hicks re
turned to Heppner and purchas
ed the Interests of the Heppner
Times from E M Shutt which he
edited up to about the time of
the Heppner flood of 1903.
Mrs Mary E Van Hardenberg
was a daughter of John McMil
lan who used to own a wheat
ranch near Lexington. He sold
out years ago and moved to
Castle Rock, Wash where he died
many years ago. Lila Adams
(Hicks) was the wife of Ted
Adams and the youngest daugh
ter of Mr and Mrs A J Hicks,
and was born in Castle Rock,
Wash, but was well known when
the Hicks children went to school
in Heppner. Red Hicks, former
newspaper man, and the only
surviving son of A J Hicks lives
in Ridgefleld, Wash. Red Hicks
worked on the staff of the Ga
zette years ago. Mrs Van Har
denberg is closely related to the
Lexington and Morrow county
McMillans. Sam McMillan Is a
cousin of Mrs Lila Adams of
Castle Rock and has frequently

The cash prizes and awards will

Ranchers who are interested
in economical and efficient feed
ing of livestock will find a trip
to the Ronald Baker feed yard
near Hermlston an Interesting
and educational one. The write
up which Ronald received In the
last issue of the Oregon Farmer
prompted me to visit the feed
lot. I found lots of changes from
a year ago when a special com
mittee for the Morrow County
Planning Conference visited the
facilities. Ronald's ability to put
on cheap gains has resulted in
the word getting around to a lot
of people throughout the state
and my last visit to the feed
yard which was Tuesday of this
week, found eight men working
furiously feeding, sp r a y 1 n g,
building additional feed bunks
and enlarging facilities to take
care of the Increased number of
cattle coming to the yards. Ron
ald feeds out cattle of his own,
custom feeds for others, either in
the feed lot on a finishing ration
or a wintering ration as the
rancher prefers. If you can't get
over to see this operation, read
the article in the Oregon Fanner;
as a former 411 club boy, Ronald
was one of the good livestock
feeders, fattening steers and
lambs for the Wheat League,
Pacific International, and county
fair shows.
ten years. This cut ,back has
been due to improve efficiency in
poultry breeding, feeding, man
agement, and marketing. It Is
anticipated that improvement
along these lines will continue.
For those ranchers who attend
ed the Round-Up Polled Here
ford sale at Pendleton on Tues
day of this week and did not
buy a bull, we would like to re
mind them of another bull sale
which will be held on December
2. This sale Is the mldco pure
bred Association's sale which has
been changed from Moro to The
Dalles this year. The 75 Here
fords, 7 Shorthorns and 8 Angus
bull consignments will make
this the biggest sale to- be held
In the state. All bulls have been
sifted at the ranch and some
outstanding prospects are to be
offered". The show and sale will
be held the same day with the
show starting at 9 a m; the sale
at 1:30 p m. It will be held In
the Seufert building at The Dalles.

At a recent fall outlook meet
ing on poultry, Noel Bennlon,
extension poultry specialist, Ore
gon State college, stated that
eggs and chicken prices at the
present time are the lowest they
have been In 20 years. While
this Is good for consumers, it is
not so good for the producer. For
example, in 1947 the average;
factory worker In the U S had to
work 32 minutes to buy a dozen
eggs, 23 minutes to buy a pound
of chicken and 29 minutes to buy
a pound of turkey, compared
with only 16 minutes for a dozen
eggs, 13 minutes for a pound of
chicken and 12 minutes for a
pound of turkey in 1957. This
moans the time spent on the job
to buy a dozen eggs or a pound
of poultry meat has been re
duced over 50 during the past
Word was received from the
state veteranarlans office Wed

all cattlemen advising them of
the recertlficatlon program
which means a test of all cattle

Recently this office received an
elaborate booklet dedicated to
the "Little Beetle that K O'd
Klamath weed." The booklet was
published by the University of
California as a part of a dedi
cation program to a Klamath
weed beetle monument at Roh
ner Park, Fortuna, California.
Quite an impressive program was
arranged in dedicating a placque
to this beetle which saved the
agricultural In Humboldt County, ;
California. An impressive story
Is told in the booklet beginning
with a planned program started
in 1923 to attempt to control the '

HIGH SCHOOL POLLS
The high school pre-election
poll is in. For keeps.
The unmatched polling idea
achieved new model status last
week after being tested state
wide during the general election
campaign by the Capital Journ
al, Salem.
When returns of the election
were all In the poll matched re
ported figures 88 percent. Six
days before election day the
Salem newspaper's figures rous
ed political workers In both par
ties, elating the GOP camp Into
a "run 'em down" finish, and
skidded the Bourbons to running
scared desperation. This was the
point when the 11th hour assault
was made by Senator Morse on
candidate Mark Hatfield. It
boomed in the wrong direction,
all over Gov Holmes who, ac
cording to earlier polls, had al
ready lost his bid for re-election.
If future high school pre-election
polls are as accurate as
those made by the Capital Journ
al this year, or nearly as ac
curate, they will make more
than Just the curious happy. Co
sponsored by the churches, in
the" good cause of interest In
in that county. It was not until
the early 1940's when the beetle
was brought in as a last resort.
While Klamath or goat weed has
not become such a big problem
in Morrow county, this beetle has
been very effective here In hold
ing down a severe infestation of
the weed. After reading the pro
blems of the ranchers In Humboldt-
county until this beetle
came along we feel fortunate
that someone found out about
this method of control before our
infestation became so severe. !

any meat choice.
Add a little diced apple or orange, a few chopped nuts, and a
wisp of ginger to cranberries. Blend the fruit and nut medley
with real mayonnaise for just the right sweet-tart flavor. Then
design the salads with unflavored gelatine. The gelatine, along
with the mayonnaise, is a flavor and texture blender. It also per
mits the natural flavors of tie other salad ingredients to pre
dominate. The individual cranberry relish molds can be served on salad
greens. Or place each mold on a slice of orange or pineapple, and
serve as a garnish with the meat course.
