What Choice Have We?
Last week’s editorial, written by Henry Hazlett, and
lifted from Newsweek, was used to show how little dif­
ference now exists in the two main political parties of
the United States.
This week we hope to show what a short time has
lapsed since the same two parties were heading in oppo­
site directions, and, how since that time, one of them has
reversed itself almost entirely and both are racing to­
ward socialism, whether we care to admit it or not.
In the past 100 years the Democrats have been able
to elect only three men to the presidency of the United
States—Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson and Frank­
lin D. Roosevelt. The Republicans were largely in the
north, far out-numbered the Democrats, and were looked
on as the party of property and wealth. They were in­
clined to be very conservative and passed relatively few
laws to govern the rights of the individual.
The Democrat was the southern party. The south had
lost the Civil war, had little property and wealth, and
was much more concerned about tne rights of individuals
than property rights.
Less than 30 years ago the Democrats came into
power. It took an economic depression, certainly not the
fault of Hoover and the Republican party, but blamed
on them, for enough Republicans to join the Democrats
in electing Franklin D. Roosevelt.
He initiated socialistic programs to meet the emer­
gency created by the financial crash that had caused
thousands of banks to close and had thrown millions of
workers out of jobs. He was given powers to: declare
a moratorium for the banks, establish depositors’ insur­
ance, set up welfare programs for the needy, use a public
works program to case unemployment, and use the ex­
cess profits tax and income tax to finance this broad
program.
Through these programs and the “alphabetical” agen­
cies established, during this and later terms, and by pass­
age of the Wagner act that gave so much power to the
unions through unprecedented organizing and collective
bargaining, and through a sudden war forced on us—
the Democrats became the party of the people.
Regardless of how much of the program was needed
at the time, enough was carried on past the time of need,
that many people began to feel that the government
owed them a living. And it took a conquering war hero
in the form of Dwight D. Eisenhower to break the 20-
year rule of the Democrats.
But instead of the Republican party making an effort
to get the government out of business they have gradu­
ally adopted the socialistic program carried on by the
Democrats for the previous 20 years. This adoption was
largely the result of a highly successful buying program
used by the Democrats. It was very simple—merely use
taxes to get the money into the federal treasury and then
?ay it out to groups pushing their own selfish programs,
his was a practical application of the old saying, “If
you can’t whip them, join them.”
Can yofl visualize an old time conservative Republi­
can being in favor of: the federal government taking
over medical and hospital services; offering federal aid
for construction of schools in all states, whether needed
or not; trying to keep an agricultural program that would
pay the farmer for NOT producing a crop or telling him
now much to produce; telling employers the minimum
amount of wages that could be paid; taking a certain
amount of pay from a worker’s check, without his con­
sent, to pay for old age programs and another amount
to pay for unemployment periods; permitting a govern­
ment agency to say that a private power company could
not consider as deductible, advertising telling the public
about the competition of the government to them through
Sublic power; or recommending that the steel companies
old the line on wages for 116 days and then, through
the vice president, “back-peddling’’ and say you better
give the increased benefits; or permit a military manual
to be published saying that the churches were becoming
infiltrated with communists — these are all favored or
permitted to happen under a Republican administration
Socialism is government ownership under democratic
management TTirough controls and taxes the govern­
ment is getting closer each day to owning the wealth.
Through federal laws and subsidies they are governing
more of our lives every day.
We still use democratic means of electing our offi­
cials but have little to choose from with the Republicans
adopting the “buy-votes program” of the Democrats.
In Malheur county we overwhelmingly reject a pay
raise for our $600 a year county representatives and stand
still for the give-away-millions program of our federal
officials. Can you recall our Oregon legislators in Wash­
ington being against anything that might cost them votes
at the next election back home?
We must either take a more active part in our poli­
tical party on the home-front level and try to adopt a
sensible program or find more Barry Goldwaters who
are making an effort to head the rush toward Socialism.
And we must never let the politicians, of either party,
make us believe that our presidents are upon a pedestal
and above criticism.

For the typographical error is a slippery’ thing

You can hunt ’til you are dizzy, but it

Until the forms are off the press it is strange how

It shirks down into a corner and it never stirs
