By FRANK JENKINS (Xlf,, ' X U J T I" ' ' J A H
Today's politics note:
Dick Neuberger, Democratic
candidate for United States sena
tor irom Oregon, will be cam'
paigning in Klamath Falls and
Klamath county over this week
end. 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.
