MILLIONAIRES INCREASE We read in the daily press that in 1932 there were 20 men who were for tunate enough to have incomes of a million dollars or more. In 1933 this number had Increased to 46 while at the same time those with incomes of <5,000 or less had decreased by 81,000. These figures were drawn from income tax reports, which do not take into con sideration those in the low income brackets but it is fairly safe to say that there was an even greater decrease among those of lower Incomes. It clearly shows what is happening. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. In general the fig ures showed a decrease in all incomes up to $25,000 and an increase in the categories above that figure. Three in dividuals, whose, names were not dis closed. had incomes over three million and the individual with the largest in come had over five million. The statement of Harry Hopkins, re lief administrator, is encouraging. He said he would like to see the “ two class es of the dole,” the coupon clippers and those on relief, brought closer together. The figures, which were released this week, had served to concentrate atten tion upon the campaign for some redis tribution of the nation's wealth and may lead to legislation in the coming session of congress to Increase the tax on the higher Incomes.

CHRIST OUR LIFE In last weeks issue of the Gate City Journal I saw an article entitled “Where was Christ from Cruclfixlton to Resurrection?' which the writer criticises our modern translators by assuming that they know nothing whatever of the tn le meaning of Christ's words on the cross spoken to the penitent thief in Luke 23-43. Although he is liberal enough to ad mit that they did their best and there Mr. and Mrs. Frank Byers are staying fore we should thank them lor it. But he also states that they made a few at the parental Olen Holmes home mistakes in punctuating Holy writ. while they are building a new house on their farm. They have purchased 40 acres near the Terteling camp. out here. That would seem only to mean on new irrigation projects, for how else can they be absorbed?” Mead Defends Irrigation Defending the federal reclamation commissioner, struck back Sunday at critics of further construction of irri gation projects. “ It took the great drouth to show the nation the service which reservoirs already completed are rendering and the need for early completion of those under way,” Mead said in his annual report. “ Recently the opinion as prevailed in some sections that further construction of irrigation works is uneconomic and injurious,” said Mead. “It arose out of an exaggerated conception of the area irrigated under federal works, which is less than 1 per cent of the total farm ed area of the United States.” The commislsoner said crtics of ir rigation have not realized how neces sary the works being built are to the prosperity of the cities and towns and industries located in the irrigated re gions. Irrigable land was described by Mead as the “new frontier' of the United States, Dry Land Abandoned "Furthermore, where farmers are transferred from submarginal dry areas to farms under irrigation, for every Attorney at Law A ttorney-at-Law Ny$sa, Oregon Oregon Nyssa NYSSA LIBRARY Dr. E.

Church One of the important governmental activities undertaken primarily for the benefit of the farmer is the census of agriculture, which will be taken begin ning January 2, 1935. This census will answer many questions of great im portance to the various agencies now formulating programs for the benefit of the agricultural industry. In order to expedite the taking of the census an effort is being made to place a sample copy of the Census Schedule in the hands of every farmer prior to the time of enumeration. An army of 25,000 enumerators will can vas every farm and ranch in the Unit ed States. The cooperation of all farm ers and ranchers is necessary to the success of this census, and it will do much toward speeding tabulation and enumeration of these statistics by pro curing and studying the sample copy ed locally,” the commissioner said. of the schedule in advance of the Urges More Projects enumeration.
