ANOTHER slant in the u ws:

the house of commons that dur

the llrltish army, navy and air

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

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

(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.

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
