BY official proclamation, the
9th to 18th of October has been
designated as Fire Prevention
Week for 1949. Just one year ago,
the Statewide Committee, re-
presenting forty-nine civic, ser

the National Committee, selected

Quoted. This phase then should
be no exception, since the Com.
mittee has had the benefit OF a
years experience and all of the
original forty-nine groups are
still available for assistance and

the most outstanding campaign
of them all.
Fire destruction in the United
States was at its greatest peak
in history in 1913, totaling S715,-

Born at Reubens, Ida, he came

later attended the University of

for the first six months of 1949,
the latest figures available, show
a drop of 9.7ee. If this trend con.
tinues, and with the aid Of care
and caution on the part Of the
public, it will continue and the
loss for the whole year may be
under $7OO,OOO,OOO.
This will be the first year since
1910 that fire losses have declin.
ed. Much of the credit for the loss
reductions is due to the many
local and wide fire proven.
ton campaigns carried on by
public spirited organizations and
individuals, such as schools, fire
departments, civic groups, ETC., to
clean up American communities
and remove fire hazards. This
clearly indicates that our fire
prevention efforts have not been
in vain.
However, added vigilance is
still necessary. Since the annual
losses are a serious drain on the
nations resources, fire preven-
ton should be everybody's bust
ness, it therefore, is our desire to
enlist the aid of every man, wo-
man and child in the State of
Washington in the prevention of
fires, because of its vital impor-
lance to community life, progress
and happiness.

Don Miller
.Af prosser

Imposition of eva upon the
Northwest would mean putting
the entire economic, social and
political life of the region into
the hands of three political ap-
pointees of the President, Don T.
Miller, Spokane, told the Pros.
ser Rotary club Thursday.
Miller, for years a democratic
leader in the State Senate, is
secretary-manager of the Wash
ington State Development as
ISOLATION.
Going through the eva bills
now before the congress, Miller
declared there are scores of spe-
cific objections to terms of the
proposed legislation.
"But over and above all these
objections" he said, els the
great, fundamental theological
objection that government by
corporation is in basic conflict
with the American form of gov.
eminent.
Here is a proposal that we
put all the powers of the federal
government into the hands of
three men who are free of virtu.
ally every restraint normally i'm.
posed upon government.
"They can spend almost un.
limited funds without appropria.
ton by congress; they can en-
ploy. any number of men and wo.
men without regard for civil
service and with little or no re.
gard for their bargaining rights;
they can 60 into competition
with any industry; they can force
all existing state, federal and
Soaal agencies of government
either to get out Of the Northwest
or kowtow to CVA."
Miller attacked as stupid"
the claim that many or the
broad powers Of the eva would
never actually be used.
Show me-" he asked, "a gov
ernmental agency that does not,
sooner or later, make use of ev.
cry power it possesses" ~ =
Dealing with specific terms of
the eva legislation, Miller de-
clared it would jeopardize every
water right in the Northwest.
Also, he argued, it would ulti-
mately bankrupt most of the
school districts, towns and coun-
ties by forcing property off the
