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,

Are You Being Neglected?
If you are being ignored, pro

of things, there is a place for
you. You should have it. There
are many organizations where
you could function as a mem

plenty of room in ecology, pol

can join where the speaker asks
for your opinion, and tlten at

sor, was our inventory of frozen

ANSWER:
No. The Tax Court held in a
similar case that the goods must

City Warms Up After Snap;
5 Below Coldest. Ian. 24. 193S
Heppner Is getting back to
normal after the siege of frozen
pipes and many other inconven
iences accompanying the cold
snap of last week which car
ried the mercury to a maximum
low of 5 degrees below zero last
Saturday night.
Light falls of snow with
gradually decreasing tempera
tures followed the onset of the
winterish weather a week pre
vious. But a hard chinook wind
came out of the south Sunday
to break the back of the spell.
Temperatures were raised Mon
day to a maximum of 54 and
a minimum of 45 degrees, with
moderate weather prevailing
since. Overcast skies drizzled
warm rain for a time yesterday.
