Democrats Adopt Platform
Did you see the party platform that the Oregon Democratic
Party came up with as a result of their three-day convention
in Klamath Falls last week?
They voted to legalize prostitution; repeal all sexual mis
conduct laws; legalize marijuana; give amnesty and commen
dation to draft dodgers; increase income taxes and corporate
taxes; gain broader women’s rights; give teachers the right
to picket and strike; and provide a minimum wage for prisoners.
Did we read this thing wrong, or are we so hopelessly out
of tune with the times that we just aren’t with it anymore?
There isn’t any part of this so-called platform that responsible
citizens of either party could embrace, and we have talked to
several Democrats who feel the way we do. Admittedly pretty
conservative, we would bet that there are not five percent of the
residents of Eastern Oregon who could stomach this thing at all.
We have always believed in party responsibility. We be
lieve that Oregon law which requires a voter to identify him
self, and then go to the polls at the primary election and pick
the best person for the job to represent his party is a good law.
Each party is responsible for picking the best man in the pri
mary, and then In the general election may the best man win.
Already we are in trouble with the women’s lib and the equal
rights people, because we have been identifying the voter in
the masculine, when we really mean he, she or it. Incidentally,
among other things, the demos propose equal rights for homos.
Who is a homo unless it identifies itself as a homo? We have
always thought a person’s sexual life was a personal thing not
to be broadcast around.
Anyway, getting back to politics, we have never voted a
straight party ticket in a general election. However, if any
Democrats want a vote from this end of the state I would guess
they would have to be pretty forthright on where they stand in
regard to their party platform, and who they associate with.
Let’s get back to some of these planks in their party plat
form. Obviously there were few fathers drafting these issues,
because if all sexual misconduct laws were repealed, no child,
or daughter, or wife wouldbe safe anywhere. And how would they
like a pusher selling their son or daughter a marijuana cigarette?
How about amnesty to draft dodgers? According to the press
report this was accompanied by a commendation for “their
courageous and moral action"
The Democrats did pass an
amendment expressing their appreciation to all who have en
listed or been drafted into the service, which was pretty big
of them.
They want to increase income taxes and corporate taxes in
Oregon.
They should come over to this Snake River country
and see on which side of the river industry is locating.
One thing we agree on. They want a ban on putting children
under six to work. We haven’t hired a child under six for a long
time.
How about giving teachers the right topicket and strike? The
law requires children to attend school, but they might not have
a teacher in their classroom. Let’s do away with compulsory
education while we’re at it.
The whole thing sounds so ridiculous on the face of it, that it
defies the imagination. Maybe somebody will set us straight, and
in the meantime we will look with interest at the comments
which we expect will be forthcoming shortly from political
candidates of both parties.
We also look forward to the Republican party platform,
but they will have a hard time topping the Democrats.

Farmers dependent upon irri
gation water from Owyhee re
servoir, no longer have worries
about an adequate supply for this
year’s crop needs, according
to Paul House, manager of North
Board of Control.
House said the North and
South Boards met jointly Mon
day night and established an al
lotment of four acre feet for
the season. This, he said was
adequate for all crops grown in
the area. He said, however,
storage was still low and “no
excess water would be sold
under present conditions."

Cheryl Wilson was named this

$674,000 appropriation for the
Vale project dam on the North
Fork was eliminated. Effort is
being made to have this item

that it would be more costly
to delay a year than complete

Tuesday night was a nice
night for strolling. Girls found
it so and likewise did “Bobby"
the tame wildcat owned by Henry
McNee. Bobby cut his rope on
a barbed wire fence and loi
tered to town, causing no little
excitement among the dogs of
the village. Dogs were making
a rumpus near the Kozy Cafe
so McNee took that direction
in looking for his pet.
When called Bobby replied
with a grumble and came to his
master. Bobby then had the
honor of riding home in Mar
shall Art Cook’s car.
It isn’t the first time Bob

would harm no one unless mo
