A NEW GIVEAWAY: YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY FUND! —George Put-ani. Our Bid On A Future Bold strokes have been made in recent years in North Santiam Canyon road-building. The building of Detroit and Big Cliff dams was made vastly easier by the broad new highway that sweeps beside them. Where once rail roads were the artery to pioneer moves, now broad high ways lead the way. Fine roads link Mill City to the big Willamette valley. The homes of Mill City’s citizens deserve spots beside streets of like nature. Wide, dry and smooth streets in spire home-building. Mill City welcomes new homes be cause in them more new citizens will live. New citizens mean a stronger and finer community.

Human hands will now the way for so much. In the bond election Tuesday, June have to work like beavers, or drown in mud." 2, good fortune indeed knocks at our door. By investing a few thousand dollars in better streets»we bring to Mill City new homes, new businesses and, most important of all, more fine people.

The “Unified Land Tenancy" bill- Editorial Comments introduced in both houses. H. 4023 ar.d S. 1491, are simply land grab acts, and their eventual effect will be to give to present grazing permits per petual rights and close forest and mountainous aieas to hunters and fishermen, and enable a few large ranch owners to gain control of these public lands for their own use within a few years. Conversion of grazing permits into known legal rights which permit hold ers could sell or lease and to turn over to courts administrative authority that the forest department now holds will undo the conservation program of past y’ears. The smaller ranchers will be put out of business if the power to control forests is shifted to big stock- men for personal profits. As the Salt Lake Tribune puts it: “Creating tax-free property rights in pasturage on land owned by all the people is contrary to basic Amer ican principles . . .

There’s a well-planned, well organized campaign in the making, The chamber of commerce is leading the attack. Sen. Robert A. Taft is in favor of the idea, to«. Briefly the plan is this: The Social Security fund would be used to give a »25 a month pension to people over 65, who now received old age assist ance grants and who have not paid into the Socail Security fund. Con tributions into the fund would not be increased to cover this additional 5 million people. This drain would soon exhaust the $18 billion reserve. The enemies of Social Security—and these are the enemies of your own security—know that they simply can not persuade or force the American people to give up the advantages of the present Social Security program. So they are adopting the tactic of destroying the fund by a gigantic giveaway. And why don’t they want workers to have security? “So that employers will have at their plant gates a large pool of un employed workers, old as well as young,” warns Nelson Cruikshank, of the AFL. Do the American workers intend to stand still for this bald-faced steal? If not, it’s your move—and now! How?
