Ta the Editor:
Will you allow me to correct
gome mistakes in the statements
of our friends the “Dollarites ’
who do not peerq to understand
“Townsendites.”
First: Our pension bill we will
vote on soon is NOT a Town
send pension. It is an Oregon
state gross income tax pension
law. Also our bill is not a
"scheme,” it is an American plan.
»We are doing everything in a
legal, honest way. Also we re
iterate our bill is a life insur
ance and our reserves are the
very same as Uncle Sam has,
the American people.
They say “we want everyone
to be prosperous.” Really, as it a
sin to wish others well?
Of
course we wish all of us to be
prosperous. Why should part of
us be able to pour money out
like water on horse and dog races,
prize fights, etc., while otners
go hungry? It really is true that
every winter there are 12 or 15
aged folks found dead in our
eastern states.
Coroners say
"starved to death.”
Do we love our dollars more
than our aged parents? Hawaiian
Island history of these last 11
years proves our 3 per cent tax
plan does bring prosperity every
where it is tried. It proves it
does not bring bankruptcy, does
not pyramid. We give proof of
our statements!!

Log Hauling
To Get Study
Governor Earl Snell has an
nounced the appointment of an
eight-man committee which is to
study the application of the pres
ent laws and regulations covering
the transportation of logs over
the highways of the state. The
committee has been asked to com
plete its study within the next
few months and report its find
ings and recommendations to the
1947 session of the state legisla
ture.
The governor called attention to
the fact that frequent suggestions
had been made that loads should
be measured on the basis of scale
and not by weight and asked that
the committee make a study of
this particular feature of the
proposed change. Particular at
tention will be paid to the effects
of log hauling upon the highways
of the state.
The highway commission has
always opposed log hauling on the
basis of scale, claiming that scale
is little indication of weight. This
contention is based upon a study
made by the commission over a
long period of time on the rela
tionship between the two. This
study showed that loads that
were nearly identical in scale
could vary to a great extent in
weight.
Technical Report No. 44-4, is
sued by the state highway com
mission, indicates that Douglas
fir logs vary from 7000 pounds
per MBF to 9700 pounds per
MBF. Hemlock will run from
9000 to more than 11,000 pounds
per MBF. Pine runs from 8000
to 11,000 pounds per MBF. Weight
will vary between the young
Douglas fir with wide sap and
the old growth timber. Small
timber is usually heaviest since
there is more waste in slabs and
deduction is made for this in the
scale.

How to plan food for
your Hallowe’en party
If what to serve at your Hallowe’en
party is a problem, then here are some
ideas that may be helpful to you.
HALLOWE’EN BUFFET SUPPER
*Red-Hot Poker Roast
Red Cabbage, Green Grape and
Almond Salad
in Pumpkin Shell Salad Bowl
(Use pumpkin for pies, afterward)
Toasted Finger Roils
*Mocha Gingerbread with
Orange Cream Cheese Frosting
Coffee
*Recipe below.
RED-HOT POKER ROAST-Ar
range 16 to 24 frankfurters side by side
(allowing 2 frankfurters for each per
son); run string through top and bot
tom. Broil frankfurters; then tie them,
curved side in, around mound of potato
salad; press into salad so that it resem
bles a crown roast. Cut string to serve.
MOCHA GINGERBREAD with
ORANGE CREAM CHEESE FROST-
I NG —To a package of prepared ginger
bread mix add 1 cup cold coffee and
cup pecans. Pour into an 8-inch square
cake pan and bake in a moderate oven
(350° F.) for 45 minutes, or until done.
To make frosting: Mash two 3-ounce
packages of cream cheese with 2 table
spoons orange juice and
teaspoon
orange rind. Stir in
to 1 cup sifted
powdered sugar. Add a few drops of
orange food coloring for a brighter color
and more powdered sugar if a thicker
frosting is desired.
Today’s high meat prices
worry us too. We know we
can sell more meat when
prices are low.
Further
more, we believe meat
prices will go down soon
and we’ll probably have to
take some inventory losses
when they do. But what-
ever the price, we feel we
have an obligation to have
supplies available and to
let the customers decide
whether they want to buy.
We pledge you that our
prices at all times will be
as low as we can possibly
make them, based on costs
to us and earning only a
fair profit.

awful taxes on liquor, cigarettes
and tobacco and gas ? Because
banks make money handling these
funds. Ours will not help any
depression nor banks, hence
they’re fighting us. They cried
bankruptcy when 39c gas tax
came.
Mistaken?
Sure, same
mistake now about our 3 per cent,
so voters do your thinking.
