HOW TO SPUR BUSINESS, PROTECT U.S. DOLLAR TOO
Never before have the U.S. Government's financial policy
makers had to face these two awesome problems simultane
ously: ,
How to help spur a sluggish economy at home through
bold actions which would deliberately create big budgt
deficits and, at the same time, make it clear that we are
not pursuing financially Irresponsible programs so our for
eign creditors will not withdraw ,thc enormous totals of
short-term funds they hold in our markets and by so doing,
undermine the U.S. dollar.
F.veryone of us is going to be affected by the decisions
made on how to solve these problems and you cannot shrug
off this story as too "technical." Your Job, your paycheck,
your cost of living, the value of your savings nestegg all
these and other matters of closest bread-and-butter Interest
to you are at stake in what the Administration, Congress
and the Federal Reserve System decide is wisest to do.
Here is a new hitherto untried approach being intensively
studied at the highest levels in Washington. It well may be
the shape of the future.
(1) To spur our economy at home, vote across-the-board
t:ix cuts for both individuals and corporations, try to offset
the tax losses through some "loophole closing" but acknowl
edge the tax slashes will add heavily to the budget deficit
in the 1903 fiscal year which began July 1
education at the university.
J he county office s "place
in the total educational pro
gram must be reassessed in
the light of the changing needs
of school districts, and possi
bly a new type of Intermedi
ate district must be developed
to meet these needs," the ar
ticle states.
The role of the county of
fice has been called into ques
tion in recent years as the re
sult of the consolidation of
many small school districts,
formerly dependent on this of
fice for numerous educational
services, into larger, better
organized and equipped dis
tricts. At the same time, the
State department of education
has stepped up its services to
local districts, the article
points out.
Opinion Split
The survey showed that
about 70 per cent of the elect
ed local and rural school
board members tend to be sat
isfied with the present func
tions of the county office, but
"half or more of the profes
sional educators at the local,
county, and state levels do
not believe the present pur
poses . . . are satisfactory."
The same lay-professional
split In opinion was revealed
when respondents were asked
whether the county office was
"organized adequately" to
meet present needs.
It is apparent," the report
states, "that a consensus does
not exist and that contemplat
ed changes will be difficult
to arhicve until some of the
conflicting points of view arc
reconciled."
A majority of the count v
school superintendents and
State department of education
personnel polled do not be
lieve that the present num
ber of services provided by
the office Is adequate.
These answers seem to in
dicate that much ot t ho im
petus for change in the office
comes from the superintend
ents themselves, according to
educational authorities. Thev
further reveal that State de
partment personnel appear to
ed with the armed forces in
World War II.
Not only is Hubbard-Wray

Oregon's oldest firniE, but the
company also has the dis
tinction of beiitg the oldest

Sold Plows in 1860's
A casual friendship be
tween John Deere and For
tunatus Hubbard, which be
gan when the creator of the
first steel plow was pounding
shop near Molinc, 111., re-
his anvil in a blacksmith
suited in the pioneer Med
io rd businessman becoming
associated as an agent

the first John Deere plows
to homesteaders in the 1880's
and I870's. Before coming
west he opened a store In
Dallas Center. Iowa, handling
John Deere plows and Moline
wagons.
In 1882 Fortunatus Hub
bard migrated to Jackson
ville, answering the lure of
gold. Realizing that farming
would eventually supersede
gold panning and trapping
in economic importance in
this new land, he dropped
into the Jacksonville tolo
graph office and wired John
Deere that he had an oppor
tunity to sell farm machinery
in the Rogue River valley
but had no money. With the
closest sources of supplies for
farmers here located 20(1
miles north at Eugene and
350 miles south at Sacra
mento, Calif., Deere sent a
return telegram informing
Hubbard that a carload of
machinery would be sent,
freight prepaid, to Sacra
mento and included in the
