Holler When You're Hurt! In a front page story last week we stated that there might be some “Fireworks” at the Malheur county budget meeting on Monday of this week. The statement was based, as noted in the article, that the Farm Bureau, one of the County Com- missioners (Emil Maag) and several individuals were criti cal of items in the document. But, according to a report in a Boise daily, only about ten persons, other than officials of the budget board attended the meeting and there was not enough opposition to any part to deter the County Court from adopting the totals as submitted. This in spite of total figures of $1,403,601 required to operate our rural county (25,000 popula tion) for the coming year, starting July 1. This being a raise of $251,000 over last year and $560,000 over that of two years ago. We grant that there have been changes in the budget laws in that time that require all in come to be budgeted and all expenses also shown. And the raise in local taxes is not nearly as great as the total raises - but the fact that a considerable amount of money comes from the state and federal govern ment does not mean that the local citizens have not footed the bill. We could be critical of the county farmers who have been getting less for their products and paying more for production — and screaming about the tax load. We could be criticalabout the businessman who has yelped about the inventory tax. We could be critical about the self- supporting people who whine about the amount of money spent for welfare in the county. But we don’t believe any of the classes or individuals are uninterested in taxes. They just don’t know what to do about them. They can read the printed budget and not understand it in most cases, and if they do, they know not what to do as it is within the 6% limitation and not subject to vote. The story in the Idaho Daily Statesman (Tuesday, June 25) stated that County Judge Ellis White and George Russell (budget board member) said that an unappropriated item of $41,- 604 was left in the budget as “good business that the county would not HAVE to vote on the budget next year.” Would it be so bad to spend an estimated $5,000 for a county election to see if the voters approved of what was set up with all the increases set out in this year’s figures. There was $70,000 for items that did not appear in the current budget POLICEMEN'S BALL NYSSA FOE HALL 6$ * AÿfU THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 19«i THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL, NYSSA, OREGON TO THE EDITOR: Unlawful law will not help to create a lawful society. Any law in conflict with the U. S. Constitution is an unlawful act. Our Constitution, including the Bill of Rights section quot ed below, is the supreme law of the land, and it may be changed only by the people of three fourths of the states. We are told that the assassin ation of Robert Kennedy proves that ours is a sick society. The murder of a public figure or any other individual, in any so ciety, at any date in time, is the private act of those directly responsible for the crime: it is no indication of the state of health of the society as a whole. When so-called leaders of so ciety, in large number, condone mob violence and arson; when religious “leaders” proclaim that honor and morality are relative terms; when high offi- Gentlemen: "/• Our objective is to provide prescription drugs at the lowest price possible, con sistent with an ethical and sound pharmacy operation.

At its regular meeting on June 20th, the Oregon Trail Grange expressed alarm over the ex cessive increases in the 1968 Malheur County budget as pro posed by the County Court and Budget Committee. The Grange wished to thank Commissioner Emil Maag for his effort to hold the County tax to a reasonable figure and for his consistent consideration of the over-burdened taxpayer. It furthermore resolved to protest the proposed budget and to “remember” its extravagant friends on the County Court at election time. /s/ Ira W.

When public officials who have taken a solemn oath to uphold and defend the Constitu tion of the United States, delib erately set about warping that great document to suit their own theories of sociology; when they proclaim changes in this foun dation of all our law in direct violation of lawful procedures, then these officials must bear the primary guilt for a lack of respect for law and order. The Second Amendment ot the U. S. Constitution clearly states: "A well regulated mili tia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” That is the exact wording of our supreme law of the land and it may be changed only by the people of three fourths of the states. It does not say that the right to keep and bear arms should not be infringed, it says this right shall not be infringed, (hampered, hindered, or ob structed.) President Johnson and a num ber of authoritarian law makers, who have all sworn to defend and uphold the Constitu tion, do not ask that the Con stitution be amended to give them authority to enact a gun control law . . . they just want the law, the constitutional bar to such a law deter them not at all. Those who make the law should be first to observe law ful procedures. "The husband man that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.” Sincerely, A. E. (Earl) Glidewell Hermiston, Oregon 97838 (Hermiston Herald) — not mentioning increases in the other items. Would the county court bet the citizens of Malheur county would approve the figures they have in this years budget? Would County Judge White leave an increased salary figure for himself in it if it were sub ject to voter approval - especially when he will be re lieved of his duties as head of the juvenile court? Or would other county officials who asked for, and are being granted salary increases do likewise? They knew what the salary was when they ran for the office, and how long the term lasted. And if they were unable to live on the salary and could do better they would resign immediately. Nor was it anticipated that the county would pay 4 or 5 per cent of their salary for retire ment pay. This alone is more than the officially acknowl edged annual rate of inflation. We can tell the taxpayers to “Holler When Your’re Hurt”, Dislikes Budget but in the meantime to cease screaming if you can’t take Malheur County Court time to be heard at the budget and Budget Committee hearing, since you can’t voice Vale, Oregon an opinion at the polls! 29 - 9 P.M Policeman's Ball Eagles Hall TO THE EDITOR Ted M.
