He would have us believe that his fight against the bill on the floor of the Oregon Senate back in 1951 was designed merely to give time to study the bill more carefully so that possible con stitutional detects might be cor .rected. , '. J ET'S examine the sequence of '-'"events.''; The bill passed the house prac tically without opposition and came to the Senate. It was re ferred to the Senate committee on:.j agriculture. Senator Neu berger was a member of the committee. The majority report of Hhe committee recommended that the bUl DO PASS. The minority report recom mended that it DO NOT PASS. The1 minority report was signed by '-Senator Neuberger. : When the 'bill came to the floor of the Senate, Neuberger moved that the- minority report be substi tuted for the majority report. His motion was supported by seven Democratic senators who argued that the bill (HB 661) was illegal and unconstitutional. They declared that THE FED ERAL GOVERNMENT HAS JURISDICTION OVER ALL NAVIGABLE STREAMS AND THAT ANY STREAM IS CON SIDERED NAVIGABLE A S LONG AS IT CAN FLOAT A LOG. THAT is to say: . . .The federal government owns the water and can do with it as it pleases. If it wants to take, water from thinly settled areas and give it to thickly popu lated areas it can do so. That is orthodox New Deal, Big -overnment - Can - Do-Any-thing doctrine. That doctrine was back of the huge plan that proposed diversion of waters of the Klamath, the Rogue and the Umpqua rivers to Southern Cali fornia. It was to prevent such a di version that we were asking the Oregon legislature to pass House Bill 661. We were fighting for our lives, for without adequate water Southern Oregon's future would be drab and hopeless indeed. IT was in this debate on the floor of the Oregon Senate that Neuberger, as quoted in news dispatches from Salem on that day made his fantastic state ment (fantastic when coming from an Oregon state senator) that: ' "OREGON WATER SHOULD BE SENT TO CALIFORNIA TO INCREASE THAT STATE'S POPULATION AND THUS CREATE A BIGGER MARKET FOR OREGON PRODUCTS." iN-his fight on the floor of , the of the Oregon Senate to sub stitute his minority DO NOT PASS report for the Senate ag riculture committee's majority report that HB 661 DO PASS, was Neuberger REALLY being friendly and helpful toward this bill whose purpose was to pre vent, if possible, the theft of Southern Oregon's water? Or was he expressing his basic New Deal, Big-Government-Can-, Do-Anything belief that if neces sary (politically or otherwise) Southern Oregon's water can AND SHOULD be taken away and given to heavily populated Southern California? .' . PERSONALLY, I find it Im possible to believe that he was being friendly and helpful to Southern Oregon. I think that in the case of House Bill 661, as in so many ethers, Neuberger is just being loose end liberal with words and careless with facts. Mtm W, BrtMi Vestment 'Trusts and Mutual Funds for those with only a little money. These should give safety and security. The nation as a whole, how ever, may. get top-heavy with "safe investments." - Too many , people ' c a n- not live on the dividends of old - estab lished corpo rations. Some people- must be willing to take safe risks by putting some money Into new 1 enterprises. . ," During the past few weeks I have been studying the industrial history of New England. Conservative "In vestors' did not build the cotton factories, . the paper mills, the woolen plants of New England. These were built by men willing to take risks. The sailing ships which set forth from Boston, Portsmouth, Gloucester, Salem, and New Bedford to all parts of the world without charts or steam and even before the days of lighthouses were built by "speculators," , not by "investors." The Securities and Exchange Commission has done a good thing for conservative investors and the big, established com panies, but whether the Commis sion has done well for the nation as a whole is debatable. America today needs more speculators. Tax Law Changes Assist To Business It is said that the Democrats inaugurated most of the new tax law changes to help the sick and aged. The Republicans, however, are responsible for the features of the 1954 Tax Law which en courage invention, industry, and young concerns. During the Roosevelt Administration, busi ness was treated with a certain disdain. The New Deal politicians and professors, who had had no experience with business, wrote the laws. Such legislation . has helped the unfortunate who were un able to work, but it has dis couraged the formation of new companies to provide future em ployment. It has- been very dif ficult for young men to get ine capital or to save enough from earnings to start a new business. It has been like trying to run a church without a Sunday School or have a family without rais ing children. The new 1951 Tax Law makes it easier for any young man of good character to start a new business, it also en courages older investors to take some risks by starting new enter prises, prospecting for uranium and other rare metals, and pro viding future employment for the next generation. . Most Big Men Don't Come From Big Cities Mrs. Babson and I have found' ed three successful colleges Babson Institute for men at Bab son Park, Mass., Webber College for women at Babson Park, Fla., and a third college in the center of the Unted States,- at Eureka, Kan. this third school is intend ed to help worthy young people with vision do new things which their parents or friends may think impossible. As I meet the men who are doing big things today, I find that as a rule they did not come for big cities. Most of them were brought up on farms. Their college was the wood box and the corn field. They were ob liged to fight severe heat in sum mer and cold in winter. They thought that life consisted of taking risks with horses, cattle, and storms. Steam heat, air con ditioning, and flossy colleges may make good investors, but these modern luxuries do not teach men to take risks. A great er willingness to risk is the need of America today. Young people who are. born I without luxury or without money and who are struggling for an education should remem ber this: You have as much time as anyone in the world. No Pres ident, Prime. Minister, Profes sor, or Captain of Industry has more time than you have. I forecast that some day every reader will realize that time is worth more than money. My appeal this week is that you use a fair proportion of your time in taking risks for the good of the nation. . Is That So? A qulzzaclous quizzical quiz.

Although a bird's digestive juices are strong enough to dis solve bones, such seeds as straw berry, grape, cactus, and cherry pass through unharmed in fact, germination is accelerated.
