It Didn't Rain After All
WATER RESOURCES BUDGET
By George Castillo
The elements of enthusiasm on one side and efforts to
economize on the county budget on the other are being mixed
in a potion of some dissension, now that it's budget time.
The subject at hand is the budget for the Douglas Coun
ty Water Resources Survey office.
Pitted on one side are the seven members of the Wa
ter Resources Advisory Committee, as thoroughly dedicat
ed a citizens group as the county ever had. On the otner
side are members of the Douglas County budget commit
tee, whose aim 'it is to allow all departments of county
government to operate efficiently but not enough to make
them fat.
Leading up to the present difference of opinion between
the advisory committee and the budget committee is the
fact that the latter committee lopped the survey office's
budget almost in half. The proposed budget was $52,296.25.
It was sliced to $28,230.
The most outspoken member of the advisory commit
tee, Gen. Curtis T. Beecher, calls the court "penny wise
and pound foolish." He says the advisory committee be
lieves the policy on the part of the budget committee
(which includes the three members of the county court) is
"short sighted."
Members of the budget committee, according to Coun
ty Judge V. T. Jackson and Commissioner Huron Clough.
feel, however, that the items cut from the budget would
in effect be nice but not necessary.
Cuts Listed
Among the cuts were $5,400 for the salary of an en
gineer to assist department head Ben B. Irving, $10,000 in,
cooperative projects funds in which the county might be;
asked to assist federal or state agencies, $2,250 for addi-i
tional stream gauges on Smith River near Reedsport and!
the Coquille River in Camas Valley and $fi,000 for drift
control and removal.
Judge Jackson says the budget committee felt in mak
ing the cuts that it was holding the line on the budget so
' it could continue to operate at its present level of activity.
But it could not see where it was necessary to expand that
activity. (The current year's operating budget is $27,
522.50.) To an extent, this does appear to he i short-sighted
view because information about the Umpqua basin's
atreamflows, rainfall, needs and possibilities for improve
ments of water supplies for future municipal and indus
trial uses, flooding, etc. is the most important need at the
present moment. Without facts about the basin, no pro
grams for control of waters can be formulated. And with
the aid of the survey office, all agencies conducting stud
ies in the county can be assisted by making these facts
available and coordinating efforts of the agencies. It!
serves as a central clearing house for facts.
Work To Continue
The committee also takes a view, Jackson and Clough
said, that it. wanted to continue the work of the survey and
advisory committee until the reports from current surveys
are made. (Surveys are now being made by the Bureau of
Land Management. U. S. Army Corps of Kngineers and
Soil Conservation Service.) The members tacitly indicat
ed that if the reports were unfavorable the activity of the
advisory committee and survey office might be discon
tinued.
I don't feel this is the correct approach because a fail-!
lire doesn't mean the end of the battle.- People will con-1
tinue to come to the county and need water. Floods will!
continue to ravage the county. Industries will still base'
their derisions to set up operations on 'the availability of j
water. Information and a mobile group to push for legis-i
lntion Is necessary to meet these problems.
It is recognizable that in these times of need for au-i
store economy, some of the items in the budget may be
deferred for another year. And the advisory committee,!
I'm certain, will consider this. ' . i
The budget has not yet been finally approved, and a
final evaluation of the vital nature of the needs will be ex-'
plained next I uesday night. I think it is the dutv of every
citizen to take part in his future in the county by' attending,
the meeting to make his own evaluation.

Killing Dogs Protested
By Rural Resident
For (lie first time in my life. I
find myself in a community where
1 cannot own a dog. 1 know there
are a lot of people here who love
dogs and I wonder why we let this
condition exist.
When we came here seven years
ago, we had a cocker spaniel w hich
we had owihM It years. Needless
lo say, we loved him dearly. He
was never a tramp and had lived
with us in Portland and Coos Bay
before coming here without ever
causing anyone any trouble.
However, before six months had
passed alter moving here, he was
shot and killed because he had
wandered onto a sheep farmer's
properly. A dog that was old and
feeble and had lived 11 years with
out causing trouble.
About eight months ago. we de
rided to try again to have a dog.
Our three children love dogs and
we feel a dog should be a part
of every child's life Teaching them
kindness and understanding of ani
mals.
Later our dog crossed a man's
properly and lie shot and killed
him. I went and got my dog and
there were no sheep in the field
where he lay. The sheep in the field
nearby were grazing like nothing
had ever disturbed them.
Yet, this man is protected in
every way by law. All he has to do
is say my dog was bothering
sheep, and he certainly wasn't able
to find any that had been harmed.
This is your sheep law! How
about the dog owners? Have they
no rights? We spend a lot of time
and money on our pets. Would we
be free to shoot a sheep that
crossed our place?
Where are all the people who
parked t lie local theater to a e
"Old Yeller?"
Mrs. Dorothv J. Jones
HI. 2. Box 434
Roseburg, Ore.
The general may ba unduly op
timistic in asking for emergency
powers for only six months. The
pace of the events incident to his
coming to power suggesls that the
French simply cannot move fast,
no matter how critical the hour.
But what is important is that
he himself sees an early limit to
this extraordinary grant under
which he will govern without re
course to the National Assembly.
Similarly, in requesting action on
constitutional reforms, including a
national referendum, De Gaulle ad
vances principles undeniably dem
ocratic in character.
HE WANTS ANY new govern
ment rooted in full popular voting
and in the ideal of governmental
responsibility to the elected parli
ament. At the same time, however, he
wants an effective separation be
tween the legislature and the ex
ecutive authority, l.ark of that
separation, weakness of the execu
tive, has heen a prime factor in the
intdbiiity that has marked the
postwar course of French political
history.
This much must surely come out
of the second De Gaulle phase in
France's turbulent years. Anything
less could mean only a return,
after De Gaulle, to the old sad suc
cession of futile governments.
The general showed ingenuity
and originality in naming a cabinet
studded on the one hand with party
leaders serving as deputy premiers
and career men ably qualified lo
dig hard into France's festering
difficulties.
THE FIRST AND THE supreme
test, of course, will be Algeria. The
reaction of the insurrectionists
there to De Gaulle's cabinet was
displeasure and disappointment. It
contains too many liberals for their
tale.
But Da Gaulle will have broad
1 authority to seek reforms in
j France's relations with its overseas
! territories. And there is consider
j able feeling this may open the door
! to full independence for Algeria
and some other areas, on terms
reasonably suitable to them.
Beyond doubt, if his coming to
j power is to have any enduring
i significance. Gen. de Gaulle must
find a solution to Algeria. If he
j were to fail in this, his emergency
government would in the end he no
! belter than the 25 governments
which preceded him. For it was
on lhat rock that the Fourth Ke-
public finally foundered.

Financial note No. 2:
Stocks in New York edged high
er this ( Thursday ) morning with
the leading averages bumping
i Iheir highs for 1958. Railroad
shares appeared to have crossed
i.jnto new high ground with most
:of them showing (raclional gains
i in response to a senate bill that
: would authorize government guar
' antees on private loans to the rail
, roads to the extent of 700 million
1 dollars.
! (The roads need the money to
buy new and more modern equip
menl. Their present earnings are
I insufficient to provide for their
: needs.)
! The railroads need more than
loans.
Among other things, thev need
I permission to be MORE COMPET
I ITIVE. They need permission to
; abandon lines and services that
are unprofitable. They aren't al
lowed to do these things without
i government permission.
i Put it to yourself like this:
II Suppose you were running a
hamburger stand and paying rent
and taxes and hiring help and
vour business began to run down
but GOVERNMENT WOULDN'T
LET YOU QUIT. In that event,
you'd be in a bad fix.
I Well, that's the fix the railroads
' are in. If you think they ought to
be allowed to get out of it, it
would be a good idea for you to

Necktiea do not keep men warm
any more than necklaces protect
women against the weather. Nei
ther of these items is particularly
utilitarian, yet most people dress
with some adornment which is re
lated more to appearance than it
ii to an essential function.
Some people pride themselves on
being entirely "practical" or util
itarian. They overlook the fact that
these extra details raise morale
and keep the thoughts of people
above the level of mere necessity.
Beauty or an esthetic influence
raises the level of human thought
and action.
Possibly a person can keep in
touch with God without going to
church or without being active in
a religious group. One may find
great spiritual satisfaction in feel
ing God's presence in nature, but
he fails to have the extra life ol
fellowship if he does not worship
with others.
Worship is more satisfying if it
includes fellowship with others. We
need some spiritual adornment
along with spiritual utility.
