DELINQUENTS?
We read in the papers and hear on the air
Of killing and stealing and crime everywhere.
We sigh and we say as we notice the trend,
“This younger generation. Where will it all end?”
But can we be sure that it’s their fault, alone;
That maybe a part of it isn’t our own?
Are we less guilty who place in their way
Too many things that lead them astray?
Too much money to spend; too much idle time;
Too many movies of passion and crime;
Too many books not fit to be read;
Too much evil in what they hear said;
Too many children encouraged to roam
By too many parents who won’t stay at home.
Kids don’t make the movies; they don’t write the books
That paint gay pictures of gangsters and crooks.
They don’t make the liquor; they don’t run the bars;
They don’t make the laws and they don’t make the cars.
They don’t peddle the drugs that addle the brain,
That’s all done by older folks greedy for gain.
Delinquent teenagers: Oh, how we condemn
The sins of the nation and blame it on them.
By the laws of the blameless the Savior made known
Who is there among us to cast the first stone?
For in so many cases . .. it’s sad, but it’s true . . .
The title “delinquent” fits older folks, too.

Farm and Market Outlook Outlined
The following 10 command
ments of how to get along with In New Circular Published by OSU
i people are borrowed from the
Deseret News Press:
1. Keep skid chains on your
tongue; always say less than you
think. Cultivate a low, persua
sive voice. How you say it often
counts more than what you say.
2. Make promises sparingly and
keep them faithfully, no matter
what it costs you.
3. Never let an opportunity pass
to say a kind and encouraging
thing to or about somebody.
Praise good work done, regardless
of who did it. If criticism is need
ed, criticize helpfully, never spite
fully.
4. Be interested in others; in
terested in their pursuits, their
welfare, their homes and their
families, Make merry with those
who rejoice; with those who
weep, mourn. Let everyone you
meet, however humble, feel that
you regard him as one of impor
tance.
5. Be cheerful. Keep the cor
ners of your mouth turned up.
Hide your pains, worries and dis
appointments under a smile.
Laugh at good stories and learn
to tell them.
6. Preserve an open mind on
all debatable questions. Discuss,
but don’t argue. It is a mark of
superior minds to disagree and
yet to be friendly.
7. Let your virtues, if you have
any, speak for themselves, and re
fuse to talk of another’s vices.
Discourage gossip. Make it a rule
to say nothing of another unless
it is something good.
8. Be careful of another’s feel
ings. Wit and humor at the other
fellow’s expense are rarely worth
the effort, and may hurt where
least expected.
9. Pay no attention to ill-nat
ured remarks about you. Simply
live so that nobody will believe
them. Disordered nerves and a
bad digestion are a common cause
of backbiting.
10. Don’t be too anxious about
your dues. Do your work, be pa
tient and keep your disposition
sweet, forget self and you will be
rewarded.
State Farm Bureau
Favors 6% Limit
On Property Tax
Lou Norris, legislative and tax
director for the Orgeon Farm Bu
reau recently told the Finance
and Local Government sub-com
mittee of the state Constitutional
Revision commission the Farm
Bureau favors retention of the 6
percent limitation on the property
tax base in Oregon.
He said at a Portland meeting
that the Farm Bureau requests
also that a study be made on
methods of applying the limita
tion to prevent the elimination
from acting as an escalator clause.
Norris said farmers are con
cerned over the ever - increasing
property tax burden and that in
the absence of the 6 percent limi
tation, property taxes would rise
at an even more rapid rate.
Comparing the effective tax
rate on farm land in Oregon with
neighboring states shows that
Oregon’s rate in 1960 was $1.02
per $100 of full valuation, while
Washington had a 60 - cent rate
with 95 cents in California, ac
cording to Norris.
He also reminded the commit
tee that farm real estate taxes in
Oregon have increased from $14.8
million in 1950 to $22.1 million in
1960. He said this increase in pro
perty taxes has happened at a
time when farm income has been
trending downward.
The Farm Bureau tax specialist
said the limitation has strengthen
ed the hand of the lay public in
the affairs of government and
that it has, to a degree, caused the
State of Oregon to re-examine its
fiscal structure and broaden its
tax system. He added that the
limitation has protected the pro
perty taxpayer from large expen
ditures and that it does discipline
the budget makers.
Oregonians who wish to farm for a living “will find their
ability to do so depending considerably on the effects of new
technology and government programs ”
So says Marion D. Thomas, agricultural economist, in the
new Oregon Farm and Market Outlook circular published by
Oregon State university extension agricultural economists
and marketing specialists.

Predicts "Growing Pains"
Speakng of the outlook for Ore
gon and the Mtion in general for
1962, Thomas sees further expan
sion with growing pains that ‘‘are
much less critical than the pains
of a static or declining economy.”
Outlook for domestic growth
in the coming year rests “heavi
ly” on government spending, lar
ger business investment and more
consumer spending, Economic
analysts calculate that these de
mand builders could boost the
nation’s gross product around 8
percent above the current level
by the end of 1962.
Such growth, Thomas points
out, would take up most of the
slack in the economy which is
now largely in the form of unused
industrial capacity and unem
ployed or under - employed men
and women. Until these capaci
ties are more fully used, there
should be no significant increase
in the general level of domestic
prices, he writes.
Expects 13Va Million More Jobs
A growing labor force and in
creased automation, both on and
off the farm, will make employ
ment a problem through the
1960’s, he believes. The U. S. la
bor force is expected to increase
20 percent in the decade and re
quire 13t4 million more jobs. The
economy provided jobs for 8 mil.
lion additional workers in the
1950’s.
In the employment field, he
sees no increase in needs for un
skilled workers and a further de
crease in on-farm jobs. More pro
fessional, technical, managerial,
service, sales and skilled workers
will be needed. Their training
means an increased demand for
teachers.
Commenting on automation, the
