To Filibuster
CHICAGO im Sen. Benton of

wrest from southern senators the
filibuster weapon they have used
to kill federal civil rights bills.
He demanded that Democratic

platform drafters call upon the
Senate to revise its rules so a fili
buster can be ended.
Assailing the Republicans, he
said in a statement distributed in
advance to newsmen:
"In their civil righti plank of
two weeks ago, the Republicans
pay the same old lip service to
the ideals of equality under law
but conspicuously ignore the can
cer of ttie filibuster imbedded with
their aid in the Wherry rule."
Under this Senate rule, named
for the late Sen. Wherry of Ne
braska, it takes a vote of 64 of
the 96 senators to end "a talkathon."
A. VITAL 11
From Mayor Al Flegel
Twice within the past two months a budget for the City of Roseburg has been submitted to you and
twice it has been defeated by your vote. In an endeavor to cut the budget to a level evidently desired by
the electorate, the second election presented a budget modified by the amount of some $9000, Upon
the defeat of this budget the budget committee again reconsidered it, deciding unanimously to submit
the second proposal for a third try. It wai only after a careful consideration of the effects upon the
city, if the amounts were drasticall reduced, together with the realization that less than 10 of the
qualified voters actually voted and, further, that the second vote was within 6 votes of winning that the
budget committee made this decision.
It was only after the budget committee had considered the budget for the third time, and after the
electorate had refused the budget twice, that the Oou.qlas County Taxpayers League, through it's
municipal committee consisting of George Singleton, retired businessmon; Harry Pargeter, manager of
the Umpqua Savings and Loan Company; M, E. Ritter, retired business man; Lon Wilder, retired busi
ness man, and Glen Taylor, owner of the Fire Equipment Company, first voiced any protest. At that
time they delivered en ultimatum to the budget committee to the effect that, unless the budget was
cut to their recommendations, they would spend a large amount of money in radio and newspaper ad
vertising to defeat the budget, thus forcing the city to operate for the fiscal year within the 6 limita
tion. This ultimatum was delivered to the budget committee, and I would like to take this opportunity
to name for you the men that have given their time and their efforts to submit to you a budget which
to them is fair and equitable. Not by the most remote stretch of your imagination could you consider
any of the men I am going to name as irresponsible spendthrifts or extravagant wastrels. They are: H.
N. Jacobson, vice president and general monager of Youngs Bay Lumber Company; Harold Backen,
Jr., manager of RE A; Kenneth Ellison, truck rental and service station owner and operator; J, E, Dent,
retired Railway Express Company manager; Arlo Jacklin, owner and manager of Jacklin News Service;
Richard D. Coen, partner, Coen Supply Company; Dr. Bruce Hetrick, dentist; H. E. "Deb" Debernardi,
"semi" retired business man. All those just mentioned teamed with the following council members to
comprise the budget committee: Jack Hart, managing partner. New Service Laundry; Bernie Saar,
owner-manager, Roseburg Wood Products Company; Gordon Harness, partner, Douglas Paint and
Hardware Company; Frank Ashley, manager, fuel department, Roseburg Lumber Company; Cecil
Hugh, partner JC Sporting Goods Store and developer of Hucrest Subdivision; Bill Adair, owner,
Adair's Associated Service Station and Parking Lot; Dr. Byron Woodruff, optometrist; and Harrison
Winston, attorney at law.
The proposition presented to the last named group of sixteen representative citizens by the muni
cipal committee of the Douglas County Taxpayers League was as follows: If the budget group would
confine all salary increase to not more than 5 of the salaries paid in the year just passed, the tax
payer group would spend their war chest to help pass the budget instead of attempting to defeat it. The
budget group, being men of reasonable qualities, felt it to be to the best interests of the city as a whole,
that a dog fight be prevented; this despite the fact that they felt that the budget as it was originally
presented to the voters was fair and equitable for a growing, progressive city.
Acting in good faith with the taxpayer pressure group, the budget was revised as agreed upon and
everyone assumed that the trouble was over as faros a budget was concerned. But no, now this repre
sentative group of taxpaying business men, who at members of the budget committee have spent soma
considerable hours endeavoring to assist the City of Roseburg, have been delivered another ultimatum
by the Taxpayers League. Despite assurance that the Tax League would support the budget, its com
mittee now informs the budget group that unless another $41,000 is chopped off the budget they will
again open their war chest and spend prodigiously to defeat the fair and agreed upon compromise bud
get.
Despite this latest ultimatum by the taxpayers' pressure group, your budget committee has de
termined that they will once more submit to the voters a budget to spend approximately $18,000 less
than was originally submitted.
Yes, despite the threats of the pressure group; despite the threats of monies to be spent in defeat
ing the budget, your mayor, your city manager, your city attorney, Paul Geddes, and your budget com
mittee dare to resubmit the budget as agreed upon for your final decision.
Members of various civic groups have volunteered their assistance in getting out the votes on
Tuesday, the 22nd of July. Among these groups ore the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Jay-C-Ettet
and the Lady lions. I am simply urging each and every qualified voter to make himself heard in this
election. Vote as your conscience dictates but vote.
It is the recommendation of your mayor that you approve this budget. It is of the utmost import
once that you do not permit an overly cautious minority to reverse the progressive trend of our city.
This is a paid message, paid for in it's entirety by Albert G. Flegel, Mayor, Roseburg, Oregon.

When you pav $2000 for a new

Association in an appeal for re
lief from federal excise levies on
passenger cars.
Federal excise taxes, which
once were referred to as luxury
taxes, are imposed on passenger
cars alone with such commodities
as alcoholic beverages, fur coats
and jewelry, the AAA club pointed
out. Now, lone after tha luxury
label has worn off, cars are being
taxed more heavily than ever.
Kvery day 59 million American
adults use passenger automobiles.

that the Judicial Council of the
American Medical Society has
sustained his appeal of the expul
sion. Dr. Robinson claims In suit for
damages that the charges which
resulted in his expulsion from the
medical society were wrongly
based on an allegation he had ic
vealed the nature of a patient's
contagious disease to the patient's
son-in-law.
Named as defendants In the
damage suit are the Walla Walla

and trustees, the Walla Walla Val
