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

mean a stronger and finer community.

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:

Social Security system.
There’s a

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!
