MIHMAAOUS 5 * Every elected official who does our work, whether in Washington, the state capital, the county seat or our city hall, is a public servant. He exists to carry out the people’s orders. He will remain a public servant only as long as his every public word and deed is under the constant scrutiny of the people who elected him. HE above chart, showing how, the average American fared in national income changes in the last twelve months. Is based on the monthly consumers' study of In vestors Syndicate of Minneapolis. , Mr. and Mrs. Public in July had a "real Income" of $1.09. or an Increase of nine cents on the dollar, over the same 1939 month. Thia "real income" is not a subtraction of cash income and expenditures,1 but an average relative of these figures designed to show how living costs affect adjusted Income dollars.' Cash Income of Mr. and Mrs.' Public In July was $1.11 for every $1 a year earlier. This gain of thir teen cents ou the dollar resulted from the following changes per dollar: wages up fifteen cents and salaries seven cents; investment Income was up fourteen cents and other income was up nineteen cents on the dollar. Renta in July were up one cent from a year ago. but clothing wan up two cents. Foods were >ve cen'a higher and miscellaneous Item» were up two cents making living expenses up a total of two cents. T That is why the newspaper’s principal duty is to tell you what is going on in your seats of government. For t ie moment the vigilance of the people relaxes, the instant they cease to be informed, abuses and excesses begin . . . inevitably. That is why the first thing every dictator does upon gaining power by con- stitutional means is systematically to throttle the newspapers. He canuot afford to let people read, think and say what they please. He must mold public opinion. And the press must be made to do his bidding. Every thinking American knows this, of course. Every American knows that the rights and liberties he enjoys here are possible only because he would instantly know of any abuse of public trust through th; columns of his local newspaper. Few of our public officials are perfect. They are only human. But most of them work conscientiously in the public welfare. Some of them might like to be rascals or even tyrants but, like the small boy who’d rob the fruit stand if only the cop wasn’t standing on the corner, they seldom get the chance as long as a free press is on the job. And then never for long. The VERNONIA EAGLE
