A Small Laugh for the Senate
With so many serious problems still facing
them, we sometimes get a bit irritated at the
members of the legislature for spending time on
what seems to be silly, inconsequential or, some
times, downright outrageous.
When we feel that way, however, we then
reflect on the many pressures on legislators, on
the long and gruelling hours they spend thresh
ing the wheat from the chaff, the need for oc
casional humor and relaxation, and the fact that,
in our open society, anyone, including a legisla
tor, is free to propose whatever sort of law he
wishes. Still
Why on earth do we need reflectorized license
plates (at extra cost) ? Why should they bear the
name of the state in letters "as large in size as
the numerals"?
THE bill has one virtue, which would be the
removal of the silly and meaningless slogan,
"Pacific Wonderland," from future license plates.
One other possible virtue was that it provided
a few moments of levity for the serious Senators
when it passed the Senate the other day. With
the Legislature now working in its 117th day in
session, this is something.
But the measure is still one which would con

away with all our medical
colleges, save the taxpayers

this Is fust wishful thinking)
abolish our government.
Naturally, I hurried right
over to Mr. Badham to con
gratulate him on all these
wonderful steps forward his
bill will take. "It will?" said
Mr. Badham. "Good Heavens,
I never thought of that."
And that's Mr. Badham for

The bill itself Is simple
enough. It merely "prohibits

I'm for that.

In the Day's News
By FRANK
From Washington:
The Treasury Department
estimates that President Ken
nedy's proposed ten billion
dollars tax cut could bring an
INCREASE of $2.0 billion In
state and local tax revenues.
The basis of the estimate is
prediction that the federal
tax cut, if voted by congress,
would result in expansion of
economic activity to the tune
of an annual increase of 30
billion dollars in personal in
come and that this In turn
would increase state and local
tax revenues by $2.0 billion
a year for the SO states.
The resulting UP in Oregon
state taxes Is estimated at
34 million dollars a year.
rpHAT Is to say:
If you cut taxes In one
place, it will INCREASE
TAXES somewhere else.

Thus far, I'm glad to re

cup of black coffee, and told
my wife the grim news.
My 8-year-old was muching

overheard my wailing of
voice, my gnashing of teeth
my pulling of hair. He then
quietly walked over to me
and slipped a quarter in my
snirt pocket.

"What's this for?" I asked
in surprise. "It's all I've got
left of my allowance for

we're so poor, you'll need
that to pay your taxes

I was much moved. "Now
it isn't all that bad," I ex

Statistics
To the Ediotr: I respectfully
wish to give some statistical
Information for the considera
tion of our readers. In Amer
ica, thankfully, the dissident
voice, though contrary to
strong ' interests, often can
be heard.
In "Crime and Immorality
in the Catholic Church," a
book written by ex-Franciscan
priest, Emmett McLoughlln,
ihe results of a fact finding
nationwide survey are given,
Letters were sent to 287 cor
rectional institutions - peni
tentiaries, reform schools, etc.,
in the various states request
ing the percentages of Catho
lics then incarcerated. Al
though some exceptions oc
cur, the overwhelming pre
ponderance of the findings
shows approximately two to
three times as many Catholics
Institutionalized, percentage
wise, as compared to the esti
mated percentages of Catho
lics in the respective state
populations.
The estimated numbers of
Catholics in the states at large,
taken from the church itself,
are felt to be exaggerated by
McLoughlin. He esti mates
that the Catholics figure of
42 million in the U.S. is in
flated by approximately 10-15
million.
If the estimation of the
Catholic church is over the
actual count, tnen the pre
ponderance of catholics, percentage-wise,
in the U.S. cor
rectional institutions is still
greater.
But either way, the statis
tical findings are a very se
vere indictment of the net ef-
feet of the morality teaching
of the Roman Catholic church
and its parochial schools. A
local Catholic, in an effort to
negate these findings said.
"Many adherents to the
Catholic faith did not receive
the full benefit of Catholic
schooling."
The statistics clearly indi
cate this "lack of benefit"
was a blessing.
In response to mv personal
inquiries I learned the follow
ing: . From a local authorita
tive source the percentage of
Catholics in Oregon is given
as "about 10 per cent." (Mc
Loughlin quotes the Catholic
Almanac as giving 7.4 per
cent.) Responses to my letters
from the following correction
al institutions In Oregon give
tnese latest data:
Oregon State penitentiary
zu per cent Catholics, Hill
crest school (girls) 25 per cent
Catholics, Woodburn school
(boys) 17 per cent Catholics.
The implications of Mc
Loughlin's book are clear, in
deed. We must never relax
in the belief that there must

Adenauer's brilliant record.
But Germany Is moving to
ward parliamentary, rather
than one-man, rule, and that
should be to the good.
I feel the services that they
have rendered have truly
been above and beyond the
call of duty. Very rare indeed
is the duty of after office
hours noticed by an individ
ual. In a very kind manner
and with rare acumen in an
ticipating questions, Mrs. Bass
and Miss Gilkey attempt to
clear the uncertainty and give
helpful information. They are
truly dedicated and have a
kind interest in the welfare
of the mentally ill.
As I stated previously, I
haven't even scratched the
surface of the services that
they have rendered.

Edification
To the Editor: To those who
question my edification con
cerning the things I have writ
ten. I was called by "The
Father" to be a servant to the
Lord, who has sent his angel,
and through the power of the
"Holy Ghost" has made these
things known to me, accord
ing to his grace and mercies,
toward me. Which calling is
spoken of in Gal. 4, vs. 6, and
Romans 8, vs. 14 to 39, which
is no mystery but a miracle.
This generation shall not
pass away until the Lord's
Kingdom has come, but there
are many things that must
come to pass first.
There are none who will
minister or serve the Lord,
who are not of this calling.
And they that minister, that
are not of this calling, are
the foolish virgins which took
no oil in their lamps, and shall
be shut out. For they are of
those who deny the power of
God, and the Holy Ghost. So
deny not the power of God, or
the Holy Ghost, and be stead
fast in your faith, concerning
all things written in the scrip
tures, that you take part in
this calling. For all they that
are faithful in this calling
shall take part In the first
resurrection. I have made
known by my letters all
things made known to me,
and pray that you will be edi
fied by them in time to come.
Whosoever s a y e t h that
these things I have written
are a lie, speaks against the
Holy Ghost, and has not the
spirit of God in him, and of
a truth is a liar. For these
things are as sure as the orbit
ing of the earth, for who shall
stay the hand of the Lord?
So doubt it not, and hold fast
to your faith. I have been
drawn near unto the Lord, in
His rightousness, and shared
His glory. And in another
time, His glory was near unto
me, in my shame, and the
creature that I am, and my
shame was unbearable. There
fore I know why it is written,
there shall be weeping and
wailing and gnashing of
teeth, whosoever taketh hold
of the Lord shall not bear
this shame, but will share His
glory.
