NYSSA NEEDS THEIR OWN DRIVERS’ LICENSE EXAMINER— HE matter of drivers taking examination for licenses is far from satisfactory from a Nyssa point of view ; as a group of over 25 found out last Thursday. According to announcement from the Secretary of State’s office, there was to be an examiner here on that date, and in re sponse to this invitation, some 25 people show ed up at the city hall to take the examination. Several were farmers from far out in the country, who left their work and many duties to come to Nyssa for the examination. After waiting around until their patience was about exhausted, a phone call was made to Ontario to see what might be holding the examiner up. They were told curtly that this wasn’t his day to come to Nyssa and “they might as well go home.” Since the state requires drivers to carry a lic ense; and an examination be given as to their ability to drive, the least the state can do is to provide an examiner available at all times. There have been times when famers have driven 20 miles to take the examination, only to be told it was a minute after five o’clock, and “come back come other day and come before five.” Surely there is someone in Nyssa who can give the required examination and make it more con venient for people wishing to take the examna- tion. Someone made a mistake when the examiner failed to show up last Thursday and since the schedule sent out from the Secretary of State’s office definitely stated that August 12th was the d ay; there is not much doubt as to who is re sponsible for the waste of a half days time for 25 to 30 people. T --------------------+ ------------------- FLASH' Word Just received from Earl Snell, Secretary of State, reads In part: "I appreciate very much your letter of Aug ust 14th, regarding the licensing of drivers a Nyssa. Just at this time a change is being made in the examiner serving at Ontario due to the resignation of Mr. Turner . . . I am sure th at we shall be able to make arrangements that will prove satisfactory to the residents of that community . . . I am very sorry that the people in your community were incon venienced by the fact that the examiner was unable to take care of those who were waiting on August 12 and wish to assure you that it is not the policy of this department to schedule examin ation stops and fail to provide the promised service on such dates . . ." 4-H CLUB PASS MILLION MARK— of the most hopeful signs for the future O NE of agriculture is the fact that the enrollment in 4-H clubs has passed the million mark and is still continuing to increase at a rapid rate. The young men and women who join the 4-H will be the producers of tomorrow'. In their club work, they are instucted in new methods and techniques that make it nossible for the fanner t)o raise larger crops and earn a greater re turn. They are given an opportunity to develop qualities of leadership that will prove invaluable to them in the future. They are learning the deeper side of farming and the forces which control supply and demand . . . and prices. In brief, they are wisely making a career of fann ing. The 4-H club movement deserves to grow’ and no thinking person can deny the usefulness of the work. EDITORIAL TABLOIDS BY OLIN MILLER It’s easy to identify an Englishman. His con versation sound as if it had been rehearsed. The college graduate who set out so bravely some weeks ago to lick the world is now holler ing for somebody to come help him turn it loose. “The strip-tease is the backbone of burles que,” declares a New York showman who seems to be taking a backward view of the matter. — + — It seems that no matter where shooting breaks out on this globe, there’s invariably a bunch of Americans present to do a lot of ciangerous in nocent bystanding. Even if it were true that the New Deal is evervthing its proponents claim, there still would remain this all-important question: Can we afford it? « 5 8 Ministers or ethers Interested In church publicity are Invited to use the columns of the Journal to carry Important messages and notices to their congregations.

I notice from some Oregon press comments, just received, that incor rect conclusions have been drawn frem the accounts going out from Washington covering the House de bate and the passage cf the Bon neville bill, H. R. 7642. I believe it is important that people in Oregon should understand about this bill, and so make the following state ment and enclose copy of the bill as it passed the Hcuse, so far as copies are available. The bill passing the House is a splendid document. It is a complete victory for the domestic and rural consumers cf the Pacific Northwest. Anyone reading the debates in the Congressional Record can under stand the strategy of the fight. The proposed May amendment, advanc- :d by those who wished to duplicate the Niagara monopolistic absorption of Bonneville electric energy, was decisively defeated three to one. The Belter amendment, in line with the position pr:viously taken by Mr. Mott, placing the entire con trol of the project under the Army Engineers, was decisively def ated, four to one. The Pierce unit control amendment was defeated by 23 votes, due to pledge made by the California delegation in order to secure support for their Boulder Dam amendment. I appreciate the great construction enginnering abil ity of the Ccrps of Engineers, and my position was based solely on the matter of costs and rates to the ul- imate consumer. The principal of the widest pos sible benefit and use, and the pre vention cf monopolization, around which the Pierce bill (H.B. 6387) was built, was incorporate verbatim in the bill passed. There are twenty- four paragraphs, excluding the Boulder project sections, of which number twenty-two, or 92 per cent are identical with the Pierce bill. The right of condemnation, author ization of contracts, the operation of the dam for the benefit of the gen eral public, particularly domestic and rural consumers, and the pre ferential rights of public bodies are all preserved in the enacted. The most important section, 3Í, originally written by myself, was used identically in the bill enacted. This is a great aid and a stimulus to rural electrification and the utillza- ton of Bonneville energy by public bodies. The rate sections of the final House bill are identical with the Pierce bill, save for the Mansfield amendment, which was suggested to the Committee by me. Thus amendment provides th at uniform rates, or rates uniform throughout zones, shall be mandatory. This change preserves the “yardstick” principle. The cnly Pierce provisions elim inated were the abolition cf the ad visory board, and unit control. The advisory board, under the bill as passed, has no authority. The unit control principle, sought by the amendment I offered on the floor, has been accepted, in principle, by the Senate Committee, and will mest likely be incorporated in the final bill, which will result from conference between the two Houses. The labor and pollution amend ments, which I originally suggested to the Committee, can be handled through administration, though I would preferred to have them incor porated in the bill. WALTER M.
