He will appear, among other affairs, at a no-host luncheon at the WiUard hotel at noon on Mon day, October 11, The luncheon will be sponsored by the Klamath Falls Central La bor council, which recently invited Senator Cordon to appear before it for friendly discussion ot his views. He was given a courteous hearing. My advice to everybody is to (urn out and hear Mr. Neuberger either at the no-host luncheon on Monday or elsewhere. He is en titled to a thoughtful bearing of his opinions whether you agree with him or disagree. . A little more advice: If, after hearing both, Bides, you think Neuberger will be better eenator for Oregon than his Re publican opponent VOTE FOB HIM, That's the American way. President Eisenhower olfered re cently, the interesting and, at first thought, rather terrifying) statement that more than 50 mi- lion dollars must be spent in the next ten years to moderniie Amer. lean highways and make them ad' eouate for defense. He followed up his statement by the appointment of a special Pres idential advisory committee head ed by retired General Lucius B Clay, This committee is holding hearings in Washington this week in an effort to arrive at a solution of the all-important problem of how such a program could be PAID FOR. - , As just one of our 160 million people, I'd like to oner tne sug gestion that if such a program is adopted it be PAID FOR AS WE oo and not added to the national debt. - ' Let's take a close look at this national debt of ours. As of now, it amounts to about 215 blllipn dollars and is still rising. Senator Byrd of Virginia pointed out whiio hapfc that: "The 275 billion dollar federal debt which we now owe is equiva lent to the full value of all the land, all the buildings, all the mines, all the machinery, all the livestock everything of tangible voiim in the United states. "We are mortgaged to the hilt." But, somebody says What difference does it make? WE OWE THE DEBT TO OUR SELVES. ... What if -we NEVER pay it?. Wait a minute. . The debt draws interest. Interest is paid with tax money. Everybody pays taxes. The annual bill for Interest on the national debt of the United States Is now six billion, 800 million dol lars. That Is more than it cost only a few decades ago to run the entire government ' of the United States for a year. OREGON'S SHARE of the an nual interest bill on the 275 billion dollar debt of the United States is approximately 74 million, 800 thous and dollars. That is three-fourths as much as it costs us to run our entire state government for a year. It isn't hay. But Somebody says again WE PAY THE INTEREST TO nTTPsp.r.vT'.s. Kr what difference does It make? Again whit & MINUTE. . We don't Just divide the annual interest bill on the national debt by the number of people in the United states ana pay urn his oer capita share. The interest is paid TO THOSE VHO OWN THE BONDS. That is to say: Thi taxnavers nay interest to the bond-holders. So You sec ii vmi oav taxes but own no hnnrts vou are getting short- sn it DOES make a difference. All this Is quite complicated, but r t Irast certain In my own mind that If we're going to spend fifty billion dollars In the next ten years to bring our highways up to where ihy ought to be we'd better nay for it as we go ana not aaa it to the national debt.
