Vernonia Eagle RAY D. FISHER, Editor and Publisher The Open Forum - - Individuality is the manifesting of a singular militance in the social relationships within the Nation which makes one man stand far aoove his fellows, In- dividuality, possess tactical and scientific knowledge, order, and is capable of directing others in to a militance of spirit. Individ uality is the crux development of military trainisg. It instills ag gressiveness and adventurousness —the same characteristics as baseball and football with the added advantage of prtcise men tal balance. And yet, all that instills the individualistic spirit in American youth, including mili tary training, baseball and foot ball, is gradually falling under the scathing indictment “capital istic instruction.” The very “ter rible capitalistic spirit” built this nation to a first leadership a- mong the nations. To the degree we have divorced adventurous militance as a people for paei- fism our nation has declined to the present status of a third rate I nation among the nations. It is something to think about as our half-backs anl he-men take up ping-pong and knitting! The elimination of military training is not a safeguard a- gainst war. It is a safeguard against fire to discharge the members of the fire department? It is a safeguard against crime and criminals to discharge the police force? EAGLE. VERNONIA, OREGON ericans will stand on the non- compulsory military training bill. America’s safest position lies in a militantly trained youth who seek no war but are prepared to defend their nation and them selves in case of war. War can be precipitated overnight by the chosen two hundred overlords of Euripe-Asia. The American will vote 309 X No on the non- compulsory military training bill. R. Bowerman ______ » To the Editoa: that much short on pay day. At the 1933 session. Mr. Oleen introduced an income tax measure (HB 56) which would have reduced the exemptions on a single man to $400.00 and a married man to $800.00 with a graduated scale of tax of 2 per cent on the first hundred, and in creasing 1 per cent on each hun dred above the exemption up to 8 per cent. A single man i earrng $65.00 would have to pay $13.00 a year income tax under this bill, This bill was i more vicious than the sale tax which Mr. Oleen abhors. House Bill 20, which was de feated by Md. Oleen after a six weeks battle (so he claims) was introduced by Donald J. Ryan of Clackamas County.

The thought is impressed that compulsory mil itary training is an inroad upon the American people of a military Rainbow Girls’ institution leading inevitably to a military dominance of the na tion, and deliberate preparation for aggressive, bloody, senseless war.
