This writer, who Isn't scary, has a notion it would be a Sood Idea for the U. S. to oil up Its already slightly rusty military machine. ANOTHER slant in the u ws: llrltish Premier Alllec tells the house of commons that dur ing this era of atomic armament the llrltish army, navy and air force should "regard themselves ns part of a SINGLE service." The Husi.ins already have a SINtll.K military service. (We're stalling along and doing nothing but talk almut It -not even much of that lately.! . LLT'S glance again at the les sons of history. Twenty centuries ago young, vigorous Home and old, powerful Carthage were at war I the Punic wars.) There came a lull of some ten years. During the lull the Carthaginians forgot .nllitary matters and went on fighting among themselves, each seeking tc GKT HIS Itcfnre the other fel low got It. The Romans went on building armies and a navy. Rome CONQUER Kl) Ihe world. Carthage DISAPPEARED lrom the world. BUT, the all out Russian lovers say. Russia Is PEACKI I I. AT HEART, and is seeking only .NE CUIUTVon her borders. Ix-t's review history's lesson on that point. In her days of youth and vigor. Rome sought only security. Hut, wherever she turned, she saw a MENACE on her hoidris. To eliminate these menaces and make herself secure, Rome went on fighting until she CU.V Cil'ERED THE WORLD. BUT (another school of h"ictul optimists tells usi the threat ol atomic energy makes war too hi.nible to continue. The bow and arrow didn't end war. Neither did guuHiwdrr.

It tells also ol the Pax Romans (th par enlorcrd by Li nie By CIIAKLKS V. STANTON . Formation of a joint committee, representing the city Kovcrnment and the Chamher of Commerce, was author ized at the regular meeting of the Koseburg city couneil Monday night to investigate and report hack to the council a program for preparation and adoption of a new city charter embrauing a city manager form of government. We have been most reluctant to endorse proposals for a city manager. Perhaps our long association with city coun cils and city officials has served to prejudice our thinking. Perhaps we have hated to get out of a rut and try some thing new. We have resisted as long as we could the idea of a change in our form of city government; have tried to discover some form of organization which would preserve the existing status and yet produce needed efficiency. We have for many months been of the opinion that our city government must be streamlined, must be made more flexible and efficient. To this end we have long been advo cating charter revisions. We are now convinced that a city manager form of government is necessary and desirable and should be instituted at the earliest possible date. Altogether too few of our Uoseburg residents have caught the vision of this area's future. Too few, in fact, give a darn. We have done little planning, we have done nothing to coordinate immediately adjacent territory into a program of annexation, which must come soon if health and property safety are to be considered. We do not voice criticism, for we do not believe criticism to be deserved, but we are endeavoring to point out lack of vision and enterprise, for which our citizenry as a whole is responsible. New business is developing very rapidly in the Koseburg area, as well as throughout all of Douglas County. Several more major industries will be locating here in the near future. A house mover is preparing to move 17 residences, making room for business installations. A Los Angeles in vestment firm recently had a representative in Koseburg trying to buy blocks of property in the business district. Deals involving many hundreds of thousands of dollars are in process of negotiation. Koseburg residents, as a whole, may not be fully aware of the transformation taking place before their eyes, but we may be sure financial interests elsewhere are awake to the situation. This industrial and business growth, constituting a boom condition, is destined to increase in tempo rather than de crease. It brings with it problems of housing, sanitation! recreation, service, schools, hospitals, etc. Koseburg must consider traffic, annexation, storm water drainage, enlargement of sewage disposal facilities, street extensions, revenue, taxation, lighting, policing, fire protec tion, airport construction, civic center, parks, playgrounds, swimming pnol, zoning, and a hundred and one additional prolileirs ' ; t'iiy management under these conditions cannot be con ducted efficiently by u group of men meeting around a council table every two weeks. (loverning a city the size of Koseburg will be a mighty big task in the boom days ahead; not the Job it was a few years ago when we were a peaceful, quiet, country town with seldom more than a dog light for excitement. We will need, we believe, an able man w ho won't come eheaply to serve as a manager and director under the council's supervision and guidance. We will need him soon, and we already are behind time .in getting the program under way, due to our reluctance to break away from our old habits. We are glad to see the city council anil Chamber of Com merce getting together to work out a solution to our need. We believe their combined efforts will produce a satisfactory answer. AFTER she conquered the world) and the Pax Driltaniea tlhe peace cnlnrtvd by llritain after she gained rulership ot the sea.) There has been u LOT of war lately. . PASTE this in your hat: Moral regeneration of H'0 pies is about all that can stop war. There Isn't much sign of that as yet. I::i9 Otiaart for a II.). Alk.

Sun llf New kfrns Fixed For Badgefeers of Units in Douclas ,: Taxpayers appointed to serve on all itx-al committees in Doug ias county to tlx .budgets for the ly4i-47 fiscal vear must be ap pointed on a new tenure basis un uer a 1!M: state law that becomes eileetive this spring. Counties, cities, school districts, PUls, port, water and all other tax-levying districts must ap point budget committee taxpayer "treeholoers" Jor one, two and three year periods. This is a change from previous practice of appointing budget committee members to serve for only one year. Directors or the governing oody of any tax-levying munici pal corporation by resolution must designate one-third ol the apjKiinted citizen members of a butlget committee, or apnroxi mately one-third, to serve tor one year, one-third to servo for two years, antl one-third of the tax payer budgctecrs to serve lor three years. This change In term of service, on local budget committees was contained in House Hill t0 of the l'.)15 state legislature, a bill intro duced by Kcpresentative K. W. Kimberling, Prairie City, Grant and Harney counties. 'i he purpose of this "staggered term" membership on local bud get committees was declared to be that of making certain that some citizens who take part in budget preparation shall have had previous experience in deter mining how much tax monev should be spent for cost of local government.

Spain's Franco Still Maneuvers For Compromise. ' By DcWTTT MaKEZIE " " PARIS, March 4 (.?') Will Generalissimo Francisco Franco capitulate to demands for a dem ocratic f; rm of government in Spain or will it take another terrible civil war to settle the issue? When I made a survey of the situation in Madrid a month ago it teemed clear that Franco rec ognized his dictatorship was doomed by allied opposition and that he was maneuvering for a graceful, lace-saving exit from the rank of chief of state. I be lieve that he had hopes for re taining command of the Spanish army under a restoration of the monarchy, although this obvious ly would lay him open to a charge of trying to control the new government through his m'lltary strength. The signs, are that the gen eralissimo still Is maneuvering for a compromise. Be that as it may, this is a tense moment for Europe, because it wouldn't take much to set the civil conflict of 193-38 in motion again. Militarily Franco's position is far more powerful than it was when he unseated the republican regime in 1939 after three years of horror and established his dic tatorship. He has had plenty of time to consolidate his ground and he hasn't neglected the mili taiy side. The Spanish standing army is estimated at 700,000 men and while it is equipped with light arms, that's a lot of strength numerically. Moreover, Franco has been building highways and brioges which may have been designed for peaceful purposes but which would be invaluable for the quick movement of troops and supplies. In the vicinity of Madrid I saw many concrete re doubts which commanded the highway leading to the capital. Obviously the genertlisslmo ha anticipated the contingency of further civil war. It is equally clear he has had In mind that he who controls the army con trols Spain. As for an expression of public sentiment in Spain, you could hold your- ear to the ground until frostbitten without hearing very much worth while. However, there are two things w hich the people certainly desire. They want an absolutely free national election at which they may choose their own form of government, and they want to i achieve that election without an 'other civil war.1 See Us Before You Sell Check Our Prices on Turkey Hens and Chickens end Be Convinced CASH BUYERS OF TURKEYS POULTRY EGGS NORTHWEST POULTRY & DAIRY PRODUCTS CO. 500 W.
