FARMERS HELPING IN WAR
The farmers and stockmen of
Malheur county are doing their part and
will continue to perform important ser
vices in production of food for war.
These producers are performing
their part in the face of difficult handi
caps, such as increasing prices itnd loss
of labor to the armed services and de
fense industries. Some of the stockmen
attending their annual meeting in Ontario
recently complained that in some sections
of Oregon and Idaho selective service
boards were not granting deferment to
farm laborers.
Certainly farmers are entitled to
keep their key men, who would be of
more benefit on the farm than learning
to tote a rifle or handle a technical me
chanical contrivance in the army.
In line with the need of more food
production the farmers of this section
are going to increase their sugar beet
acreage greatly for 1942. Of course,
while receiving $10 a ton for beets the
farmers will benefit by the increased
production, but at the same time they
will be performing an important service
for their country.
Dairvmen of this section have in
dicated that they intend to increase pro
duction of dairy products because such
products are essential in the war effort.
The dairymen are urged to boost produc
tion through improvement in their herds
rather than through an increase in the
number of cows. This method will not
only increase production and improve the
quality, hut it will reduce the cost per
pound. At the same time it will save un
necessary expansion and excessive use of
feeds.

TEN DAVIS
TOO BIG TO HURRY
The week’s news from Salem in
dicates that there were several political
candidates in too big a hurry to jump
on the band-wagon of criticism of the
state tax commission.
Forebodings that arose when the
commission ruled that all property sub
ject to local taxes should bo assessed on a
uniform basis, became a sizeable public
clamor when some expert figured out that
the taxes on city residence properties
would be increased bv some thirty-five
per cent as the result of the ruling.
Now. with figures at hand showing
actual decreases on about 85 per cent of
residence properties, and with increases
falling in only a few places, some of the
boys are going to do a lot of verbal
scrambling to get out from under their
earlier vote-getting moves.
Probably it is too much to expect
complete honesty from political candi
dates (particularly the “outs” trying to
get in) but those who misuse an honest
effort to improve Oregon’s taxation sys
tem are deserving of a sharp reprimand
from the voters.
