An Imaginary Interview Mr Gerry Pratt, a West Coast ncwspaiHT columnist, re iH.rts nn imaginary Interview with an Imaginary old rnnn of the kind who ran businesses In the days when there was far ev.s government Interference with the Individual and far mote respect for government lenders. The old man reminded columnist Gerry Pratt that. "There was time In-fore you were old enough to liek a stamp when I could mail a letter to New York for 2 rents and It cost me $10 to telephone then-. Today, he says, the pomace l eight cents and the telephone cell is down to $1 ufter 6 p.m. They arc both utilities, the wt office and the telephone company. One Is run by the government and the rute has gone up 400 percent. The oth er Is private and the cost has gone ,wn !K percent The old man points out. ". . . the most Inflationary cost In this country today is the cost of government." Mr Pratt's mythical old man also held strong views on Hip Inconsistency of government: ". . . government soils the oil Industry n billion dollars worth of oil leases In Alaska then comes along and stalls for two years before It tie iiiles vou can build a pipeline to get out the oil they sold vou They put $800 million Into nn SST then because it was eoi.'.L. t.. make as much noise as a 717 they paid another SiiH) million not to finish the Job." There is no end to ex amples such as these, and Mr. Pratt touches on only a few. Iiut they explain why respect for government and confidence in government Is disappearing as rapidly as the gold at Kort Knox. Up To The Public ...... i.i i). ....., the progress of California's efforts to curb the growth of dependency on welfare, lie says. ". . . I am very pleased to announce . . . that California's welfare rolls have now de clined for the seventh month In a row an accomplishment other state can match . . , Had we not pressed vlRoroua. )v for welfare reform at the state level ... our projections show that there would now be a third of a million more per sons .n welfare In California, or 13 percent more than there actually arc. And, the Increased federal, state and local tax es this" would have imposed on the people of California clur inn these seven months would have amounted to an addit ional $K0 million burden . . . What we are accomplishing in California to bring welfare back under control constitutes a dramatic aaswer to those who claim that a massive and costly federally controlled program Is the only solution to the welfare problem. Handing over the welfare dilemma to the federal government is not the answer ... Reportedly, other arcnm notably New York, are working with a measure of success to prevent welfare from break ng the hacks of the taxpayers and bankrupting states and he nation The reversal in the welfare trend has been initiated by officials who have become acutely aware of the mount ing resentment of rebellious taxpayers. It demonstrates that when the chips are down public opinion becomes the clecld ing factor in the choice of programs proposed by elected governmental leaders from the President on down. Thus, the public if it wishes to do so, could make economy in govern ment a highly populur political slogan and one that no politician would dare to Ignore, CHtCK Some folks have left car keys. etc., and other "found items here.

Edward Clark, a native of Clark's Canyon who now lives at Hermlston, was over here recently and related some hu morous incidents of the area, including some excitement of past times at Hardman. He has a sort of miniature sheep camp at his place at 383 Gladys St. in Hermiston and enjoys having friends stop to see him. Don Monahan called recently from Washington, U. C. He wanted to borrow u copy of Ann Hal'erlach's research study j on Heppner. Don was the one last year who alerted us to lloppiicr's coming centennial year which is this year.
