This 'Eats on Us'
One thing that we get tired cf hearing is that news
papers delight in printing the ""bad news" about young peo
ple while relegating their good deeds to the tack pages or
leaving them out entirely.
This trite old complaint is repeated time and again with
out any foundation or basis in fact. Newspapers become a
scapegoat on which to level blame for the unrest among
youth of the present day.
We don't complain for ourselves, since the charge has
never been leveled in our direction. (We did have an in
quiry the other day as to why we didn't carry more crime
news!).
Most of the criticism is directed at daily newspapers with
the self-styled experts pointing out that they "play up" crime
news in order to sell more newspapers, which, they continue,
is what the papers must do to remain in business.
5ow, the truth of the matter is if anyone took the
trouble to analyze the files of a newspaper he would find
at least four stories that do credit to young people for every
one that reflects to their discredit
In the weekly press the ratio would run much higher
stories of awards, achievements, 4-H and Boy Scout activities,
Eainbow Girls', FT A, all the school organizations, Boys' State,
Girls' State, rodeo honors, athletic achievements, stories of
their accomplishments in the armed service, stories of their
achievements in agriculture. Goodness gracious! There is no
end to it! We could go back through our files and fill page
after page in listing such stories.
The same is generally true in the daily press. Eight now,
for instance, the Portland papers are devoting hundreds of
inches of space to glowing accounts of the Rose Festival
court, all reflecting to their credit and heralding the qual
ities that make them fine young women.
Probably it is closer to the truth to suggest that the read
ing public pays more attention to the crime news and the
more sensational stories about youth. Too often, the reader
may entirely miss a story on someone getting a scholarship,
for instance, because he doesn't know the person and isn't
particularly impressed by such a commonplace achievement
Newspapers are going to print the news. It is their duty
to do so. They can't tell the public that all Is sweet and
good, when there is violence and the sordid, too.
What would happen if newspapers didn't print stories on
the misdeeds of youth? Say, if a gang of young "hoods"
beat up an old woman, or if a mob cf demonstrating stu
dents injured some innocent bystanders.
The public not only has a right to know; it must know.
In this sense a newspaper is a protection to the public, in
that it warns the people that such things are going on, and,
therefore, to beware or, to do something about it The paper
can arouse indignation against these things, too. This would
never happen if they were left unpublished.
It is only from ignorance that someone not In the field
of journalism proclaims that newspapers print "bad news"
about young people to sell newspapers. Most editors are as
devoted to their work, are as reputable and possess as much
integrity as professional men in any field. They are zeal
ous in their convictions on their responsibilities as journal
ists. While their judgments may differ, Jthey evaluate devel
oping news objectively and they display it as they Judge it

The other day, though, Bobj
Lowe had to take a patient to'
Portland ia the ambulance on '
an emergency case. He made '
the trip in two hours and forty
minutes, and the only place he
was held up was in Heppner!
When he tried to get through
town here, he came up behind
an elderly man driving a car
very slowly down the street
Bob couldn't get around him.
Finally he used the siren, but
the man still didn't pull over.
He never did respond. It was
pretty frustrating when Lowe
knew that minutes could mean
the difference to his patient
J. B. ELDER of Rt 1, Box 490,
Parkdale, was in town the
other day trying to locate the
graves of James Howerton and
his wife, apparently relatives of
his family.
Howerton was a Baptist min
ister in Heppner, having home
steaded here in the late ISSO's
or early IS&Ss. A check of the
cemetery revealed no clue, al
though both are supposed to be
buried in or near Heppner.
Art Crawford, who is visiting
here after coming for the Pio
neer Picnic, brought the story
to us. Anyone who might have
information on the graves of
the Howertons are invited to
contact us or write direct to El
der at Parkdale.
SINCE THIS is commencement
time, it is appropriate to re
print an article that was sub
mitted to us recently on the
lf5 commencement at Heppner
High school. An old clipping
came from Mrs. Amy M. Ken
mus of Palo Alto, Calif., who
said she found it between
by its relative importance to other news stories of the day.
There are cases when some stories seem to be over
played and some seem to get out of perspective, but we be
lieve that in most cases this is due to differences in judg
ment on news evaluation rather than the malevolent ten
dencies of an editor.
And by the way. don't think the "bad" stories outsell
the "good." When we publish stories that do credit to a
young person, we often sell many extras to parents and rel
atives. When we print a "bad" story, the parents don't buy
a single extra. (There may be times that they threaten to
cancel their subscriptions!). But admittedly, we don't have
the mass appeal of a big daily.
However, next time you're inclined to think a paper has
"gone off the deep end" in reporting bad news about young
people, take a ruler and go through the paper. Measure the
inches devoted to the "bad" and to the "good" about the
young ones. You may be surprised.

the more from the fact that it

"Prof. A. W. Wier-s parting
words to the class were full of
kindly advice, and no doubt the
thoughts of more than one of
the graduating class went back
over the scenes and incidents
of the class room, presided over
by their venerable preceptor,
now forever closed to them.
The end of this school year
will probably conclude Prof.
Wier's connection with the
Heppner schools. He has labor
ed diligently for four years In
this field, and his efforts have
not been unavailing, as his pu
pils will testify, provided they
have due diligence themselves.
The same compliment can be
paid to his valuable assistants.
The school is now at a high

ted that the present course of
instruction cannot be contin

If the defeat of the sales tax
foe property tax reduction tn the
Senate May 30 did nothing
more. It w is therapeutic for two
reasons first, it brought the re
sponsible leadership to the re
alization that there were other
possible ways to rabe money for
property tax relief, and in the
ensuing meeting of the House
Tax Committee to dev 1 1 e
promptly a method of letting
the pec pie take a choice be
tween a sales tax for property
tax relief and a net receipts in
come tax. and those who have
been piously espousing property
tax relief while opposing a sales
tax. while really not favoring
property tax relief, w-ere hurried
ly smoked out and forced to re
veal their true positions.
The House Tax Committee
meeting June 1 decided to give
the people this choice on No
vember 21. 1967 at a special
election: 1 1 1 Do you want prop
eny tax re lief ? 2 Do you want
property tax reduction through
a 31 sales tax? 3i Do you
want to adopt the McCall Hat
field recommendation of a 1
net receipts tax and have a less
er amount of property tax re
duction? If neither tax is favored at
the special election, there will
be no property tax reduction
in fact, property taxes ill go
higher because of increa-M-d
school costs. But the people will
have had a choice and this is
the thing that it is the respon
sibility of this k'gislature to give
them.
In the tax committee I voted
for presenting this alternative
in this manner, but spoke In
favor of increasing the propos
ed net receipts tax so that it
would give nearly an equivalent
amount of property tax relief
as the sales tax. I am going to
continue to work to try to ac
complish this because I think
that then the alternative pre
sented to the people would be
more realistic.
If the vehicle we are now
working on is successful, it con
tains a concept that would re
sult in one of the finest reforms'
that could be accomplished in
this state. That is the creation
of realistic tax bases for all
school districts in this state.
This would be accomplished by
making the tax base of a dis
trict the amount of its last levy
plus the last basic school sup
port received plus 5. This,
coupled with a one-shot vote a
year only to create a new tax
base, appears to me would put
education financing on a real
istic basis for the first time in
many years.
It would eliminate the neces
sity for elections to exceed each
year. But if such an election was
necessary and if the one vote
failed, with the new realistic
base, the school involved could
continue on a curtailed basis.
The failure of an election would
not be fatal as failures would
be in many of the districts now
throughout the state.
