I ficiaIly reported over the top and the
others will get their money without
difficulty. Pendleton alone is tagging
and it is not because the Pendleton
spirit is lacking. 1t is because an at
tempt has been made to equalize the
burden and protect those generous
givers who in past campaigns have, by
reason of their generosity, borne the
biggest part of the load. In rating
the 2100 individuals listed in the PEN
dleton district, the assumption
was made that the great majority
would contribute according to their
ratings. Admitting that the COM
mittee made some mistakes from
standpoint of pure equity. no one was
rated to the sacrificia1 point. If there
are any sacrifices being made by con-
tributors it is by those who are giving
the small amounts The farmer or
other man of big income who figures
he was rated SIS tos20 too high should
stop to consider the cause to which ne
is being asked to contribute.
"No one has been over-rated but
from a comparative standpoint there
may be some who are under-rated.''
All precinct chairmen and team
captains are asked to report in to
headquarters at 8 o'clock this evening
those persons they have been unable
to see or those who have refused to
contribute. A strong follow-up COM
mittee is to be sent out by District
Chairman Hartman tomorrow or Fri
day in, an effort to make up the ball
ance of Pendleton's quota.
