WASHINTON, D. C —No one on the
national capital knows nor will even
guess how long the war will be or
what the world will be like when
peace eventually comes. But they do
knew that the United States is get­
ting into debt head over heels for
aid to the British and national de­
fense, and that notwithstanding tax
will be heavily increased revenues
cannot meet more than part of the
outgo. To aid the British the presi­
dent asked for seven billion dollars,
a colossal sum, and yet this is only
the beginning of the aid and is not
to be confused with what the nat­
ional defense program will cost. Sin­
ce June 1 up to last month the
United States had made contracts,
for national defense, of $12,575.860
and production will not be in full
swing before the end of this year,
and probably not before 1942.
Great Britian still owes the United
States five billion dollars from the
first world war. This time there are
no illusions about helping the Brit­
ish. The American taxpayer—you,
and you. and you—knows that he is
to pay as a Tift to the British more
money than he loaned them in the
first world war. There is no expect­
ation of receiving a red nickle back;
there is no prospect of ever receiving
a single dollar or piece of land from
the British for that unpaid five
billion. How and why we are in the
war is disputed, will be for years,
but that the United States is com­
mitted and will go through to the
finish is not in controversy.
Wars are costly and wasteful. Con­
sider Just two items. Every night the
German flyers drop bombs on Eng­
land, Scotland and Wales. They un­
leash thousands of bombs. A single
bomb costs as much as the entire
yearly income of an American fam­
ily. One-third of America is 111-fed,
ill-clothed and ill-housed, and in
this under-priviledged class are many
thousands of families whose income
for a year is only $350 (government
figures) and this is the price of one
of those German bombs. The Gar-
and semi-automatic rifle is the new
arm of American troops. To fire a
Garand for one hour would cost
$5,000. Of course these rifles will
never have one hour of continuous
firing, but that is what it would cost.
Just one Garand could destroy am­
munition costing more money than
a majority of the 131,000,000 Amer­
ican people earn in 12 months. That
is war, and the United States is
preparing to produce bombs, Garand
rifles, torpedoes, smokeless powder
and similar Instrumentalities in un­
heard of quanities for no one knows
how long. These items are to be not
alone for national defense but for
the British, Greeks, Chinese, and
any other country the president de­
cides to help.

Chief Machinist Mate Woodling.

tion held at the city hall last Fri­
day. One of the lads who passed the
examination is Edward E. Beboa

SALEM—As finally enacted, the
the cigarette tax bill allocates one-
sixth of the revenue anticipated from
this source to the support of voca­
tional education. Originally the bill
provided for a tithe to. the general
fund but this was am-nded in the
senate and it was this amendment
or rather failure to amend the title
of the bill to conform to the body of
the measure, that resulted in its de­
feat.
Based upon the experience of
Washington which has had a cig­
arette tax in force for several years,
the Oregon tax is expected to yield
approximately $1.900,000 a year at the
rate of two cents on each package.
Of this amount one-sixth or slighly
more than $300,000 will go toward
the support of vocational education
and the remaining $1.600.000 toward N yssa O p e n s Ball

In Full Swing Contest Opens
The mattress making under the
F. S. A. program is now in full swing
at the Western Hotel, Nyssa, accord­

The mattresses are made four at
a time with four people working on
each mattress. Into the finished pro­
duct there is ten yards of ticking
and fifty pounds of cotton.
Applications have been received
already from seventy-nine families
which will mean about one hundred
thirty nine finished mattresses.
Besides the applications already ap­

turned out to nearly two hundred.
Those working on the committee
for this district with Mrs. Jamison

No Change Looked
For In Sugar
Beet Acreage
There is little chance of any in­
crease in sugar beet acreage allot­
ment, this year at least, despite the
announcement of Secretary of Ag­
riculture, Wtckards' announcement
that an Increase of 235,000 tons of
refined sugar would be allowed dom­
estic processors, such was the opinion
of Ray O. Larson, district manager
for the Amalgamated Sugar Com­
pany in discussing a press release
from Washington. D. C.
Even if the growers were given the
benefit of this consumer allotment
Increase, it would mean only a In­
crease in acreage of 2.7 per cent on
a national basis. In the Nyssa dis­
trict this tonnage Increase would
mean only an added 375 or 400 add­
itional acreage. Another item which
would preclude any increase, part­
icularly for 1941, is the fact th a t the
California growers have already
planted their acreage allotment for
the year, and that there would cer­
tainly be opposition to any contem­
plated Increase in acreage allotment
for 1941. Wlckard gave no reason,

Dairy Advantage
In County Shown
Malheur county enjoys one of the
most advantageous positions of any
county in the United States for the
dairy man, according to T. R. War­
ren, of the American Jersey Cattle
Club, speaking at the Joint meeting
of Jersey, Ouemsey and Houlstein
breeders held In Ontario last week.
H ie meeting was sponsored jointly
by R. M. Me Kennon. county agent
and Roger Morse of the Dairy Ex­
tension Service, OSC.
Warren pointed out that the dairy­
man’s advantage lay in the fact that
farmers in Malheur county can raise
hay cheaply, and that the cattle
housing problem was brought down
to a minimum, due to the equitable
climate. Another point that should
spell success for the dairying indus­
try in the county is the bringing
into the county of a constantly bet­
ter grade of sires.
County Agent Me Kennon intro­
duced the fleldmen of three breeds
represented at the meeting, T. R.
Warren, American Jersey Cattle
Club; A. C. Smith, American Guern­
sey Cattle Club; and M. B. Nichols
of the Holstetn-Frieslan Association
of America; and Roger Morse of
Oregon State Extension Service. All
gave talks on the dairy prospects of
the county. Following a luncheon,
motion pictures, in color were shown
of the various breeds. A number of
Jersey breeders from Idaho were
guests at the meeting.
The meeting was one of the most
successful of its kind held In the
county according to R. H. Clark,
secretary of the Malheur Jersey
Cattle Club.
Police Nab Two
Ontario Youth
Two Ontario youths, John Sil­
ence and Orville Warren, both 18,
were arrested Monday by Nyssa pol­
ice when they attempted to sell bi­
cycles reported stolen In Payette.
The pair, according to Chief of Pol­
ice Cook, admitted thefts of other
bicycles in Ontario and Payette.
Following their arrest and admit­
tance to their former thefts. Cook
advised the Ontario Police who took
them in custody.
No connection was made to the
pair with the recent theft of bicycles
in Nyssa, according to Cook.
