Entered at the Post Office at Nyssa, Oregon, for Transmission Through the United States Mails, as a Second Class Matter Under the Act of March 3, 1879. Political Trends . . . For the first time in the history of this country the majority of American citizens will soon be under the age of 25 years. In an effort to determine political trends within this coming majority, Northwestern University, Purdue University, the University of Wisconsin and U.S. News and World Repori have been conducting a survey among American high school juniors and college juniors in an effort to determine political trends among young Americans. The results of this survey were reported last month in Action magazine, a publication of the U. S. Junior Chamber of Commerce. Among the students surveyed: —71 percent would deny an accused person the right to confront his accuser. —40 percent believe certain groups should be denied the right to peaceful assembly. —41 percent believe freedom of the press should be cancelled. —34 percent favor denying free speech to certain persons. —26 percent would allow search and seizure without consent. —56 percent voted for close government regulations on all business. —53 percent believed in government ownership of banks, railroads and steel companies. —62 percent said government has a responsibility to provide jobs. —62 percent thought a worker should not produce all he can. —61 percent rejected the profit incentive as neces sary to the survival of free enterprise. —84 percent denied that patriotism is vital and plays an important part in our lives. A number of writers, analyzing these figures, believe they provide additional proof that the doomsavers are not far wrong in their predictions of a welfare state in this country. But more importantly, the results also reveal the quality of courses in history, economics and American government offered in most high schools and colleges these days. Then, too, the results offer an eloquent rebuttal to the thesis that the minimum age for voting should be lowered. If a majority of those under 21 do not know what American government is all about, as the results of this survey would indicate, it is doubtful that they could intelligently exercise a right to vote. More than anything, these shocking figures tell us of the massive job to be done in the education of our youngsters — not only in the schools, but also through the business community. Freedom and free enterprise are parts of a priceless inheritance. If these figures are valid, our generation is tossing these assets away. —ROBERT R.

Sometimes our reasoning is in clined to get somewhat out of bounds, depending on how badly we want something. There is an old quote which shows how rea soning can be utilized: "The hen is an egg's way of reproducing another egg.” This is a practical approach but leaves something lacking in the credit due the hen. This tarns type of reasoning is being applied in our agricul- ’ tural programs. Somehow w«:- have lost the reasoning asso ciated with the free enterprise concept. Free enterprise is sup posed to preserve competition but it has nothing to do with preserving competitors.
