Are Strikes Necessary ?
The recent cannery strike in California, resulting in the loss
of millions of dollars' worth of perishable fruits and
vegetables, demonstrated the extent to which the public
interest is ignored by union monopolies. Canneries should
not be able to close down at the height of the growing season,
causing losses of perishable products that can never be
recovered.
Fruits and vegetables rotting in orchards and fields while
millions around the world are going hungry shows that the
power of unions to cause such a situation must be checked.
Closer to home, the plumbers strike which will delay the
completion of our cafeteria before school starts, should not
happen The Meridian schools will have to double-team this
fall, because this same strike will cause delays on the
completion of their new building.
We are seeing it more and more where teachers strike just
before school is scheduled to open, and baseball players or
football players strike just before their season opens. This
smacks of blackmail, because each of these organizations has
plenty of time between seasons to settle their contractural
difficulties.
In these enlightened years, surely there is a better way to
settle wage agreements than through shutting down a plant,
or school, or business, or whatever. Too many people are
affected, and the backlash goes through our entire economy.
Steel, or autos, or lumber, or building trades, or whatever
gets a large raise, and the whole merry-go-round of price
increases and inflation starts all over again. This drives up the
cost of autos, housing, and newspapers, and nobody gains.
Most of us make enough money if only we could keep down
the cost of goods and services. Our farmers right now are
caught in the middle of the price squeeze, where production is
up, costs are up. and prices are down.
We are basically against controls, but somewhere down the
line it looks like Congress will be forced to put a control on
wages. This would control other costs, and perhaps the
economy would flatten out.
We have become used to automatic increases, under the
circumstances, they have been necessary. There is no way
that any of us. from the social security recipient to the
businessman, can survive without a constantly increasing
paycheck to offset the constantly increasing inflation. That it
has slowed down is of only relative satisfaction.
Maybe it wouldn't be too bad to go back to the old ways,
where our wage increases were based on promotions,
increased productivity, or transfer to a better job. We worked
three years on our first job before we got our first raise, and it
was pretty exciting. But the economy was level (and poor),
job* were a prized possession, and a promotion was cause for
great satisfaction. We suspect that neither job*, nor
automatic raises, nor good productivity are the satisfaction
today that they were a few years back.
The following basks are new available at the Nyaaa Public
Library.

LETTERS
TO
EDITOR
Editor. The Journal:
Twice in the past eight
months we have followed a
loved one to the Nvssa
Cemetery. Both times we
almost had a car struck
crossing the highway on Park
Avenue. Each time we have
tried to explain to
the
relatives from a distance why
there was no police to direct
traffic. This is an explanation
hard to make when we here
at home do not understand
why.
I’m sure there must be a
logical explanation; I'm also
very sure that it is no fault of
the Nvssa Police Department.
While making this statement
may I take this opportunity to
publicly thank officer Frank
Pittz who came while off duty
with no police car to direct
traffic one way. As long as
Nyssa has young men like
Officer Pittz on the Police
force, we cannot but have a
good department.
Thank You
Mrs. Lyle Reece (Butch)

Editor, The Journal;
Jason Boe's survey shows
that the great majority of
Oregon's elected officials
want land use planning but
that practically all of them
arc
seriously concerned
about
Land Conservation
and Development Commis
sion's system of government
and want SB 100 and
L.C.D.C. either repealed or
drastically amended.
L.C.D.C.'s dictatorial au
thority to review (veto),
amend, and administer local
elected officials' ordinances,
eliminate citizen's right to
govern through local elected
officials, must be repealed by
the initiative measure on the
November ballot.
With the success of an
initiative repeal vote, sec
tions of previously enacted
law allowing planning by
cities and counties will
remain.
The only way to guarantee
change is repeal of SB 100
and L.C.D.C. Repeal is the
voice of Oregon citizens
speaking to the Legislature.
Any possible amendment
by the Legislature is subject
to veto by Governor Straub,
particularly since Governor
Straub has rejected every
suggestion for amendment
that has been submitted.
In the name of land use
planning L.C.D.C.'* opera
tion is functioning outside the
democratic process and has
taken away the city and
county officials decision mak
ing vote, overrides local
Planning Commissions and
eliminates the citizens de
sire* in local affairs.
Over fifty mayors from
large and small cities of
Oregon join me in urging
repeal of SB 100 and the Land
Conservation and Develop
ment Commisson.

Lincoln- was elected Presi
dent in 1860; Kennedy in
1960.
Both were slain on a Friday
and in the presence of their
wives.
Both were shot from
behind and in the head.
Their successors, both
named Johnson, were Sou-
thern Democrat* and both
were in the Senate.
Andrew Johnson was born
in 1808 and Lyndon Johnson
was born in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth was
bom in 1839 and Lee Harvey
Oswald was born in 1939.
Booth and Oswald were
Southerners
favoring un
popular ideas.
Both Presidents' wive* lost
children through death while
in the White House.
Lincoln's secretary, whose
name was Kennedy, advised
him not to go to the theater.
Kennedy's secretary,
whose name was Lincoln,
advised him not to go to
Dallas.
John Wilke* Booth shot
Lincoln in a theater and ran
to a warehouse.
Lee Harvey Oswald shot

and ran to a theater.
The names Lincoln and

letter*.
The names Andrew John
son and Lyndon Johnson

before being brought to a
trial.
Both Johnsons were op-
posed for re-election by men
whose names start with "G”.

Officials Say Grain

Officials

Stafford Haniell. director

said, "We are aware that the

Hansell and Moose said
they were unaware of any

Oregon since then except
that a team of auditors just
recently began checking tran
sactions of grain firm* in the
state. There have been no
report* from that team,
however.
“The new* report* imply

if such actionable offense*
have been committed in the
State of Oregon, it would

Alfalfa
Commission
Fails
Alfalfa growers failed by
less than six percentage
point* to obtain the necessary
two-thirds majority in a
referendum to establish an
Oregon Alfalfa Seed Commie»
sion.
The referendum repre
sented the second attempt by
grower* to establish an
Oregon Alfalfa Commission,
in 1975, a* in 1976, the
referendum failed to obtain
enough affirmative vote* by a
slim margin
Department officials said
this week that 98 of the
state's 316 producers (repre
senting 3.430.000 pound* of
the state's 6.153.000 pound*
of production in 1975) had
registered to vote in the
referendum in late July.
Of the 98 registered. 76
voted; 46 or 60.53 percent
voted for; and 30 or 39.47
percent voted against the
formation of a commission.
To have passed required
affirmative votes by two-
thirds of those voting as long
a* they represented more
than one third of the previous
year's production.
Those voting for the com
mission represented 47.94
percent, nearly half of the
1975 production.
