Malheur county, being a heavy butter producing region,
could start this eat-more-butter campaign. Many of our

EAT MORE BUTTER
There’s a butter surplus of millions of pounds but it
could be cut down in a week if every famliy, who could
well afford too, would use a bit more butter each day. The
price is so low, it is inexpensive to use in cooking and bak­
ing as well as on the table. Yes, butter is low in price, too
low for the comfort of the farmer, but as rich in vitamins
as ever.
The federal farm administration has set itself to the
task of working out a plan, through a processing tax and
by other means, to increase the price of dairy and poultry
products which lag behind other farm commodities. Of
course the fanners will welcome this and others of us who
depend to a large extent upon the farm trade in an agricul­
tural country.
But the consumer must be able to buy. Here, again we
see the great good that will come from the far reaching

Having failed with a sales tax for property relief by an
overwhelming vote at the special election in July, poli­
ticians have turned to “a sales tax for relief of schools”
after they refused to consider an income tax and other
bills for school relief which were tabled at the recent ses­
sion of the legislature.
Passage of a sales tax for school relief was ^ clever
move in the effort to get such a measure on the statute
books of Oregon for many patrons and teachers may be
expected to work for the measure. Already there have
been stories told that unless the sales tax is voted there
may not be any more school in certain districts. To coun­
teract this campaign, the Oregon Journal, enemy of the
sales tax , has already started a drive which might be call­
ed, “Pay your school tax— if you can’t pay your other
taxes, then there will be no need for the sales tax on every­
thing you eat and wear.”
Voters of Oregon have indicated that they are strongly
opposed the sales tax. The new proposal is being widely
assailed. Many newspapers say once it is enacted under
the pretext of aiding schools, more and more public money
will be diverted to policiticians. There is also the threat
that if a sales tax is passed, tax on incomes can be abolsh-
ed. Who should pay additional taxes, the rich, or those al­
ready overburdened?
REFINANCING THE FARMER
President Roosevelt’s program for extending relief to
farm mortgages, if wisely developed and administered, is
th agricultural counterpart of the work of the Reconstruc­
tion Finance Corporation in banking and industry.
If the endeavor succeeds even reasonably well, it should
not in the long run cost the Government or the taxpayers
anything, just as the R. F. C. should eventually be able to
realize the aggregate value of the loans it has made and so
pay back the money advanced from the Treasury. The
farm finance plan does not resort to the Treasury at the
beginning, though it will lean upon the Government’s
credit later. It will go immediately to the investors of the
country for its funds.
In many instances it wili go to investors who already
hold farm mortgages and who may be willing to exchange
7 per cent yields for a much more certain 4 per cent to be
gathered and paid through the Federal Land Barks. In
these cases the land bank will strike a new bargain with
the fanner who made the mortgage, writing his interest
down to, say, 4 1-2 per cent, which will be more within his
ability to pay. In other instances the Government will seek
to sell these bonds to persons hoarding cash in their de­
posit boxes. This money it would lend to some fanner
whose waiting creditor would like to get his money back
to spend.
The presumption is— and it seems a< reasonable one—
that, apart from any guarantee, the mortgages taken over
or made by the land banks would yield a sufficient return
to cover the obligations to the new bondholders. If ,by this
method a downward revision of agricultural interest rates
can be made, it promises to be a most fundamental type of
farm relief.

vaccine, aimed at the disease which is

NEW YEAR’S DAY
New Year’s Day, the first of the year
Is a day for religious celebration. This
celebration has existed far back Into
ancient times. The Jews, Babylonians,
Egyptians, Chinese and the Romans
started this celebration and gave pres­
ets as we dd at our Christmas, but the
dates differ widely.
The Romans observed New Year’s
Day In March. This was changed by
Numa and the date now used was
established.
A very quaint Scottish custom was
to be the first visitor of the new year.
There are many religious sacraments
offered on this day. In the Roman
Catholic church the Feast of the Cir­
cumcision is held very sacred, while
in the Protestant churches watch par-
