1JV El JHOOD-LIV ABILITY
MAY COLLIDE IN
ELECTION YEAR
A collision between diverg
ent forces promoting liveli
hood and livability in Oregon
is a strong possibility during
the coming election year.
Major political leaders of
both parties already have cal
led for a reconciliation be
tween so-called environment
alists and those seeking eco
nomic development.
Immediately following ad
journment of the 1971 “en
vironmental” session of the
state legislature, State Pres.
John D. Bums said matters in
volving economic development
should receive top priority sta
tus among interim activities
prior to the 1973 session. House
Speaker Robert Smith has ex
pressed the same sentiment
and similar statements have
come from the office of Gov.
Tom McCall.
Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D-
Wash) broadly hinted at the
impending confrontation dur
ing a recent Oregon visit. The
potential Presidential candi
date said the environment and
jobs are not irreconcilable and
society’s goals cannot be ob
tained without a vibrant, grow
ing economy.
A concensus among those
concerned about Oregon’s eco
nomic health is that recent em
phasis on the state’s livability
has overshadowed that con
dition’s companion — liveli
hood.
Despite the fact Oregon’s
current economic status ap
pears rosy compared with
neighboring states, they con
tend an employment imbal
ance has evolved. An they be
lieve that imbanlance is sym
ptomatic of fiscal ills that
could negate environmental
improvements in the near fu
ture.
Livelihood pays the bills for
livability, they say. The latter
cannot be achieved without the
former.
An examination of employ
ment trends throughout Ore
gon during the 20 Yrs. between
1950 and 1970 reveals clues to
their concern. Greatest source
of alarm is the diminution of
manufacturing employment in
the total employment picture.
During the 20-year span the
state’s total workforce grew
42%, from 654,800 to 928,600.
And although manufacturing
jobs increased 25%—from 138,-
000 in 1950 to 172,000 in 1970
—it dropped from 21% to
18.5% of total employment.
In the same period agricult
ural employment declined a
whopping 34% and wood pro
ducts jobs diminished by 17%.
While this was happening,
non-manufacturing increased
79% and government employ
ment sky-rocketed 130%!
The State Department of
Economic Development has
reported Oregon must create
20.000 new jobs each year just
to provide employment for pre
sent residents as they mature
and enter the workforce.
This goal is not being met
More importantly, employ
ment figures prove jobs that
are being produced do not con
tain a sufficient percentage of
necessary “wealth-producing”
employment. The bulk of gov
ernment workers in Oregon,
for instance, work in the field
of education. That payroll de
rives almost solely from taxes
levied against the wealth-pro
ducing segment of the com
munity. The same thing ap
plies to government worker
payrolls in the field of public
administration.
Industrial jobs are the tra
ditional source of “new"
wealth on which the economy
depends and create the liveli
hood with which we pay for
improvements in our livability.
Production of new industrial
jobs in Oregon is especially
alarming to those who are
aware of these economic facts
of life. In 1968 Oregon created
5.000 new industrial jobs. In
1969 we added 6,100. But in
1970 investments in new plants
and expansion declined mar
kedly and only 1.525 new in
dustrial jobs were created.
This year is worse than last.
At the end of June only 547
new industrial jobs had been
created!
Bearing in mind agriculture
and wood products have been
cornerstones of Oregon’s econ
omy and that manufacturing
is the greatest source of
wealth-producing, bill-paying
payrolls, let's examine the em
ployment “imbalance" that is
causing alarm:
During the past two decades

r .ent has increased from 45 8%

Live a Little
In War I Honored
Enright, Gresham, Hay—
three names to remember on
October 25, Veteran’s Day,
1971.
Enright, Gresham, Hay—the
first men in American uniform
to die in action in the major
wars of the 20th Century.
Enright, Gresham, Hay—
American soldiers of World
War I, Company F, 16th In
fantry Regiment, Luneville,
France, dead at dawn on Ne-
vember 2, 1917, the first Am
erican victims of trench war
fare in the "war to end all
wars.’’’
Private Thomas F. Enright,
Pittsburgh; Privale Merle D.
Hay, Glidden, Iowa; Corporal
James B. Gresham, Evansville,
Indiana, gave their lives re
pulsing an enemy raiding par
ty, while soldiering in a “quiet”
sector of the front assigned
to the First U. S. Division in
France where the greening of
American troops took place
in the gathering storm is this
nation’s expeditionary forces
rolled io the rescue of freedom
in Europe.
Enright, Gresham, Hay—the
first to fall in the footsteps of
more than 30 million com
rades to follow in uniform in
World War I, World War II,
Korea and Vietnam—three of
679,000 who paid thte final
price of freedom in the 20th
Century.
On November 14, 1917, the
bodies of Enright, Gresham
and Hay were laid to rest with
special honors at Bathelemont,
France. The citizens of Lor
raine erected a monument to
their memory, and with peace,
in 1918, their bodies were re
turned home in honored glory
to rest and be remembered.
Enright, Gresham, Hay —
honored by the veterans of all
wars as America observes Vet
erans Day, October 25, the 53rd
observation of the date and
the 19th under the name Vet
erans Day.
For 34 years, November 11
was celebrated as Armistice
Day, to mark the end of World
War I, November 11, 1918.
In 1953, hopefully to sym
bolize the end of all wars of
the 20th Century, including
World War II and Korea, the
name of Armistice Day was
changed to Veterans Day. and,
in 1971 the date of October be
came the official date of the
annual ceremony and remem
brances. The change was not
easy. The major reason for the
change, in the wisdom of Con
gress. was to take the day to
honor American veterans out
of a crowded November cal
endar and move it up ahead of
the Thanksgiving holiday. Op
ponents of the October 25th
date argue that the only Am
erican war ever to end in Oc
tober was on the 19th in 1781
when Cornwallis surrendered
to Washington at Yorktown.
World War I ended in Novem
ber. VE day was in May, VJ
Day in September, the Korean
Armistice in July. Spain sued
for peace in August, Lee sur
rendered to Grant in April,
the Mexican War ended in
September and the War of 1812
in December. In June 1805 the
skirmish with Tripoli was con
cluded.
Whatever the reasons for
changing the date of Veterans
Day. the Veterans Administra
tion. charged by the President
of the United States and Con
gress. concentrates each year
on those who served, abiding
by the meaningful words of
Abraham Lincoln in his Get
tysburg Address, that ever-
after, “we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have
died in vain.” and that those
who wore the uniform of their
country shall not be forgotten.
