Bv Don Moffatt
The airwaves lately are pret
ty well taken up with the polit
ical candidates telling the pub
lic why they should vote for
them or their party. It will
soon be over, and I for one,
will be thankful. As the polls
stand now, Nixon, the Repub
lican, is ahead. I hope he stays
that way. Wallace has some
good points, but I would hate
to vote for a third party man.
Humphrey I can’t see, as in
his frantic attempt to get sup
porters, he seems only to ad
vocate more spending to pro
mote more programs of give
away, and believe me, anyone
who pays taxes in any form,
and who doesn’t, should defin
itely turn hands down on this
man and his proposals.
I read in the morning paper
a story covering a polit
ical rally held at San Francis
co’s Cow Palace. There were
the usual hecklers, trying to
prevent any candidate the
right of free speech. Jerry Ru
bin, head of the Youth Inter
national party who describes
himself as a “revolutionary and
an anarchist,” shouted invec
tives at Wallace. If a person
of his professed ilk can roam
our streets and be protected
by our laws, certainly our
courts should be changed to
do something about it. That
type of man is a menace to our
freedom, more than Russia is,
therefore he should be banned
from this country which pro
tects him while he spouts non
sense.
A Berkeley professor had ad
vocated a “freedom brigade to
go fight the American imperial
ists in Vietnam. Wallace said,
“I think they ought to go ahead
and raise a freedom brigade
and send them over there. That
would be a good way to get rid
of them.” That’s a pleasant
thought. To think we have col
lege educators of his ilk makes
me sick. I do not think he is
fit to clean stables or pig pens,
let alone teach in college. He
should be kicked out of college,
the same as a lot of these long
haired kooks that litter up our
campuses.
If we are to remain a free
nation, and enjoy the freedoms
we do, we’re going to be forced
to UDhold our policemen, who
are trying to do a good job
protecting us from such nin
compoops. We’d better wake
up before it is too late.
The following article headed
•Twenty-Five Years L a t e?”
was written by Vem Scofield,
of the Nebraska Press Associa
tion. It was taken from the
Cottonwood Chronicle over in
Idaho, published by Lloyd
Rose, a former Enterprise em
ployee. Read it. It has some
real meat in it.
Americans, both men and wo
men, are more than disturbed
—shocked, shall I say?—at the
lawlessness, the thefts, the
rapes, the killings in our
Great Country.
I think it all started—to the
degree we now know it—about
25 years ago. That takes us
back to World War II.
Why then?
We adults—the old folks past
35—found out that if we were
enlisted men we could “get
by” with things. If we were
junior officers we could “get
by with the big boss. We are
now parents, most of us. Too
many of us tend to blame the
young people—the 12-year-old
who gets a $15-a-month allow
ance for doing nothing, or de
fies his parents when they
want his hair cut decently . . .
the “hippies” ... the 28-year-
olds who feel they would rath
er be on “relief” than to ac
cept a job that pays less than
$15,000 a year. Don’t blame
them. Blame the parents, and.
yes, the grandparents. We
taught them these things.
Most—and I hope I am not
talking about the majority of
Americans—have forgotten the
word “no.” It’s easier to hand
a youngster $2.00 to go to a
movie than to argue about it.
So then money has to be one
of the things wrong. And mon
ey started getting “easy” dur
ing World War II.
And now money is getting
even easier to get—one way or
another—for the average per
son. So. f blame money, too.

Speaks at
Stayton Meet
Carl Frederick, representa
tive of the Association of Ore
gon Industries was guest
speaker at the Stayton Cham
ber of Commerce meeting Mon
day noon. He was invited to
speak on “Financing Govern
ment.” His talk centered on
Measure 7, which is the 1&%
true cash value of property
Constitutional Amendment
which is on the general election
ballot. The Association of Ore
gon Industries is against the
passage of this measure as it
could “increase the taxes of
property owners in future
years.” Frederick said big in
dustry would be the benefic
iary if this measure is passed,
and the small homeowner, out
side of Multnomah could very
well be called upon to pick up
the tab.”
It would be up to the Legis
lature to find other means of
raising the taxes to maintain
our schools and other govern-
ments.
In citing figures of where
our tax dollar goes, he said
that the cost of education has
risen 152% in the past 12 years
while enrollment has gone up
only 51%.
He was also under the im-
pression that school budgets
are being defeated because of
the huge tax bite put upon tax
payers by the Federag govern
ment. People have come to the
point where they are rebelling
against nearly all taxes. He
said it was necessary to have
quality education, but business
leaders are now looking for
ways to get more out of the
education dollar.
He said it would take a 4
or 5% sales tax to pick up
money lost if the 1H% limita
tion, proposed by Measure No.
7 were to pass on November 3.
Attending the meeting from
Mill City were Floyd Eastwood
and Don Moffatt.

buck. No more. There are even
4-day weeks for certain people.
And I’ve even read that the
3-day work week is not far
away.
So I say it all started 25
years ago, and “it” has grown
in "popularity.”
With “it” has grown lawless
ness and disobedience of auth
ority. Just how proud do you
think you’d be if you were a
policeman and could give very
little information on a crime
to a reporter—or any American
—for fear of losing your job,
Thanks to the recent Reardon
Report, that’s just what’s hap
pening.
The recent tragedy in Los
Angeles, you might say. was
the result of one “nut.” But
those “nuts” are all over the
country.
I hope and pray that this
“first 25 years” is not the start
of a pattern for our Country
that will end up as it did for
another great and powerful
country —the Roman Empire. I
have fears and concerns we’re
heading that way.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1968
Led by the passing cf Ron
Johnson, the receiving of Lar
ry Hillesland, and the running
of Howard Lyness, Santiam’s
Wolverines marched to victory
over the Scio Loggers in Cap
ital Conference football action
Friday night on Allen Field.

2-2 conference record.
Things started off rapidly af
ter Doug Cline’s opening kick.
Mike Long tackled Scio’s re-
ceiber; the receiver fumbled;
Santiam recovered and went
on to score a touchdown

Howard Lyness on the first
play of the game. Santiam’s ex
tra-point attempt failed.
Minutes later Quarterback
Johnson passed to end Hilles

kick for the extra-point was
good.

This time on a 30 yard touch
down pass from Johnson to
Hillesland. Ruby’s kick was
again good. This left Santiam
ahead 20-0 at the end of the
first quarter.
In the second quarter the
Loggers slipped by for a touch
down on a 5 yard run by Bob
Truitt. Their attempt for the
extra-point failed, leaving the
score at half-time 20-6.
The third quarter proved bet
ter for the Wolverines than the
second. Lyness scored again on
a 2 yard plunge into the end
zone. The kick for the extra
point failed.
The fourth quarter was a
stalemate with neither team
scoring.
Total yardage gained by San
tiam was 356 yards. Santiam’s
offense was sparked by Larry
Hillesland and Ron Johnson,
with 129 and 113 yards respec

County Clerk to receive appli

The only exceptions to this
rule are: (a) if the voter is un
able, by reason of physical dis
ability, to attend the election
and (b) the voter will, by rea
son of an emergency occuring
within the five days before the
election, be absent from the
County on the day of election.
Tn both instances where appli
cation is made within the five
day period, a sworn affidavit
stating one of the above rea

plication.
Because it is desired that
every qualified person have the
opportunity to exercise the
right of franchise in our gov
ernment, Penfold urges those,
contemplating making absentee
ballot applications, to do so im
mediately.
Penfold added that 557 absen

virtually to every comer of
the world with a high percen
tage going to servicemen in lo

Penfold suggested that per

themselves of a right to an ab

the ballot may be marked and

Board Studies
Multiple Use
Auditorium
The Board of Directors of
Administrative School District
129J is currently studying the
feasibility of building an audi-
tcrium facility as an addition
to the Santiam High School
plant. A number of auditorium
installations have been inspect
ed, with an eye to what they
could do for the educational
program at Santiam High
School.
Funds for the construction of
additional facilities are avail
able, thanks to the fact that the
patrons of Administrative
School District 129J five years
ago voted a serial levy for con
struction purposes. This serial
levy has matured, providing
the district with construction
funds and eliminating the nec
essity for bonding.

Homes in Mill City
May be Renumbered
At the October meeting of
the city council there was dis
cussion on the possibility of
the Jaycees taking the uniform
numbering of houses in the
city as a service project.
Houses were numbered about
10 years ago with the Lions
club members doing the work.
Since that time many new
homes have been built and
thus renumbering on a more
uniform basis is being consid
ered.
At the time of the original
numbering it was one of the
steps that would have been ne

delivery; however, this service
did not materialize.
Police Chief Don Gillenwat

processed through municipal
court in September with 16
traffic warnings given and 11
traffic citations issued.
There were 2 prisoners lodg
