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

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-

. 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.

1« North iiM»< St
cials follow the philosophy that
"The end justifies the means,”
when these things are done in
any society that is indeed a
very sick society.
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

— 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”,

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

This ad is for you if you're among the
90% of the population who have a
hard time hanging on to their hard-
earned money. There are the neces
sities of life like food, shelter, clothes
and about seven hundred other
things. But, the point is, one of the
necessities should be your bank ac
count. Money in the bank—there's
nothing like it. It puts a smile on your
face and confidence in your pocket
book.
As bankers, we know a lot about
money. It's our business. So we think
we can offer you sound suggestions
on how to save. They work. Pick a
plan and make something out of it.
Save-O-Matic Savings. This is per
fect for you who say. "I can't save
anything'' and really mean it. The
Save-O-Matic plan forces you to
save. Once on it, and you've got a
habit—a good habit. It's simple: We
take a specific amount out of your
checking account every month (auto
matically) and put it in your savings
account. You can transfer any
amount you wish and there is no
charge for this service.
Regular Savings. This is the regular
account—as automatic as you make
it—and worth 4% more than you put
into it. (Interest is compounded and
paid quarterly.) Your money’s con
veniently there when you need it—
yet it's specified as savings which
makes it more difficult to spend.
5% Deposit Certificates. A good sav
ings investment. Any amount from
$500 to $100,000 earns you 5% inter
est per annum when held to matu
rity. A deposit certificate matures in
six months. And you can arrange for
automatic renewal at maturity.
5% Income Certificete«. These pay
you 5% interest which is guaranteed
to the two-year maturity date of the
certificate. Interest is paid by check
or deposited to your account each
quarter. Or, if you prefer, you may
purchase an income certificate
which earns 5.22% when interest is
compounded quarterly and the cer
tificate is held to full two-year ma
turity.
Suggestion:
Come in and we'll start something
growing—your savings account.
Yesterday would be a good time to
start, but today is fine. Deposits
made by July 10th earn interest
from the 1st.
