withholding tax of, say 10 per cent (on top
of the 5 per cent current victory tax), adopt
some system of pay-as-you-go and compulsory
savingsand let it go at that.
This beginning of a trend is being urged by
mail from people out in the country protesting
against apparently wasteful t expenditures of
funds In their communities.
No general charge of this nature has yet
been made, but many constituents see the high
wages being paid for little work, the vast con
struction programs (the government is even
building county sewers on a 100 per cent grant
basis as a war measure, although they have
no direct war connections), and other obviously
non-essential spending.
The congress, therefore, may adopt leadership
toward greater economy, (along the line Senator
Byrd is promoting) and against more general
tax Increases.
Wound Is Deep
MADAME CHIANG has correctly presented
the urgent need of China for more planes
and guns, and everyone here agrees with that,
but there Is little likelihood that our deficiency
on that front can be fully met immediately.
As Mr. Roosevelt has put it, we must await
the will of the Lord. :
What no one has explained fully to the
American public and to China Is this simple
military truth:
The only way we. can lose this war is by
scattering our superior forces. Our productiv

In 1934 a Federal survey

other survey in 1938 gave an
even more dismal picture. Farm

ity and manpower give us a war strength above
that of any other nation. If we concentrate
should be unbeatable.
Further than tills, we are committed to the
defeat first of Hitler in Europe. Whatever
would have been right in the first place is no
longer arguable, since all our training and pre
paration efforts have been directed toward cut
ting down Hitler first. We are embarked on
that enterprise.
Therefore, it is practically Impossible from
a military standpoint to abandon our cause in
Europe and concentrate on Japan. From prac
tical necessity, our aid- to China must await
full production.
These restrictions are as deep a wound to
our cause as to China's.
Madame Chiang was utterly right in saying
Japan controls greater resources than the United
Nations, for the Nipponese now have most of
the rubber and tin in the world, and plenty
of oil and other fresh resources.
A thousand American bombers, based on Chi
nese airports and applying themselves to the
long exposed Jap line of raw materials, supplies,
or upon Tokyo's industries, could do more dam

else right now. But the decision is with the

has run into extraneous and somewhat per
sonal difficulties.
Mrs. Luce's exposure of New Deal Intentions
was couched In such language as to Imply
that she is an isdlationist so the anti-isolationists
say. She does not want to be so classified,
and hence has been explaining since then what
she did not mean in her original remarks. This
put her on the defensive.
The confusing situation has been further
muddled by the fact that Mrs. Luce has a
personality which apparently inspires either
strong friendliness or equally strong unfriend

mediums, the retail lumber
dealers 'of New York, Iowa, Cali
fornia and other states are given
no part or place.
This is nothing new. It is an
old habit of Northwest provin
cialism that cannot be matched
in any other industrial region.
It is provincialism plus.
Service Record ...
In the industrial areas retail
lumber dealers have had a vital
war job to do in workers' hous
ing. Rural dealers are shock
troops on the farm front of food
production. All are serving
within rigid war restrictions, on
duties rated as essential to the
war effort. Normal profits are
in a dimout for the duration,
and the operators and employees
of the hometown lumber yard
cannot hope for the glory of
"E" awards.
It was money from millions of
lumber sales by retail lumber
dealers to Individual consumers
that fed the economic growth of
Oregon and Washington that
built the sawmills and logging
operations which are now sup
plying war lumber. And It is
from such retail lumber sales
that the money for Northwest
payrolls, taxes, local farm mar
kets, railroad and shipping bus
iness, and for forestry programs
must come when we are at peace
again. .
26 million acres of Douglas fir
forest plus 28 thousand retail
lumber distributors provide the
simple basic formula for econom
ic progress in the Pacific North
west after the War.

VOTED DOWN
By PAUL W. HARVEY, JR.
SALEM. Feb. 23 P) The
Oregon legislature finally dis
posed of the explosive milk con
trol Issue today when the house
voted 82 to 28 to kill a bill to
suspend milk control until six
months after the end of the war.
Governor Earl Snell already
has signed a, bill to abolish the
state milk control board and
transfer its functions to the
state department of agriculture.
A senate bfll to abolish milk con
trol permanently Is buried in
committee.
Protection
Rep. John Steelhammer,
Salem, author of the bill defeated
today, said milk control is un
necessary during the war because
the federal office of price ad
ministration is fixing maximum
prices, and there are no milk
surpluses available to make
minimum prices necessary.
Reps. H. A. Kuratli, Hillsboro,
and Herman Chindgren, Molalla,
leading the fight to keep milk
control, declared that dairymen
want milk control retained bo
cause it is the only protection
they have.
House Gets Wine Bill
A statement that consumers
'are forced by milk control to
pay higher prices for watered
milk" was made by Rep. Wil
liam Nlskanen, Bend.
. The senate passed 23 to 7 and
sent to the house a bill to com
pel persons who buy wine in
liquor stores to have liquor per
mits. The bill is a companion
measure to the senate bill to re
strict the sale of most wines to
liquor stores.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 (P)
Rep. Cooley (D-N.C.) said on the
house floor today that anti-air
craft "guns" mounted on the roof
of congressional office buildings
are made of wood and that the
soldiers stationed there are
"dummies."
"We are being protected by
wooden guns and decoy sold
iers," he declared after telling
the house that he made a per
sonal Inspection tour to the roof
tops to check up on the "pro
tection" provided for members
of congress.
"In high heavens," Cooley
shouted. "Why have they been
placed Over our head. I am
something of a duck hunter, and
when I place out decoys, I ex
pect to attract ducks. And when
I place out decoy soldiers and
decoy guns, I would expect to
attract enemy planes."
Cooley took the floor while
the house was considering a bil
lion dollar naval shore construc
tion bill to express the hope that
none of the money was to be
used for "painted ships upon
painted oceans or for wooden
guns."

TOUGH BUDGET PROBLEM
Klumath Falls, Ore. (To the
Editor): This is the first and
probably the last lettor of this
kind I shall ever write.
I am usually a calm and, I
hope, a fairly pleasant person,
but now I am a little bewildered
and peeved.
I don't claim to be brainy, chic
or trained in the social set. I'm
an ordinary mill worker's wife.
I'm writing this as there seems
to be some question as to the
patriotism of the lumber and
mill workers who asked for
a raise.
As I said, I think wo are or
dinary, and have an average fam
ily two children, six and four
years old. I have two brothers
in the service one in the army,
one in the navy and they didn't
wait to be drafted even If they
were members of an AFL union.
If I understand Mr. Hellbron
nerl he thinks wo are all unpa
triotic to want this raise. I dis
agree. I think I'm as patriotic
as Mr. Hcilbronner. Sure I sal
vage waste fat, turned In scrap
metal, didn't growl at rationing,
and I don't hoard. But the thing
that really makes me proud and
feel as If I'm doing something
for the good old U. S. A. Is our
regular purchase of war bonds
and stamps. We have been doing
this since long before Pearl Har
bor. Now, here Is the catch: Even
with celling prices, not driving
our car, and cutting corners, we
find ourselves not being able to
make ends meet. We aro going to
have to cut down on our war
bonds. It Is the only way we can
continue to pay rent, doctors,
lights, wood and water, and buy
a few groceries.
Of course, maybe I am over
estimating what the money we
put into bonds means to victory.
I like to think it st least I
bought bullets for the guns I
trust Mr. Heilbronner's 10 per
cent bought.
Am I being unreasonable when
I want wholesome food (nothing
fancy) for my children and a
roof over their heads? Do I give
up some of these because it's un
patriotic to want them? Or do
I have to quit buying part of
my war bonds? Something has
to go.
I don't like to call buying war
bonds "making a sacrifice" as
we all know it is security for the
future. I'm sure we all want
that It's what we are fighting
for, Isn't it?
I say it's our right to be able to
buy bonds, and also have the
necessities of life!
If Mr. Hcilbronner or any one
else can work on my budget and
make it do both, I would be more
than happy to have them try.
Yours respectfully,
MRS. D. R. SCHRADER.
