4 The Newt-Review, Roieburg,
THE RIGHT
By Charles
The Oregon Legislature has
the requirement that proceedings of the county court and
the bills paid by the various departments must be published.
The present law says that there shall be published in
selected newspapers of general
ment of the proceedings of the governing body in the trans
action of county business entered of record during the pre
vious month." The legal order also makes it necessary for
the county court to have published each month the list of
all the bills it has ordered paid, thus letting the taxpayer
know what is happening to
Repeal of the law is advocated by the Association of
Oregon Counties, an organization which includes the judges
and commissioners of county
I hesitate to say that the
information, published is that they re trying to hide what
they are doing. It would be my opinion that we have few
county judges and few commissioners who would seek to
hide their actions. I feel, too, that we have few crooks in
public office! But, trustful as we may be of our county of
ficials, we must never relax vigilance. If we do not main
tain laws for protection, we're
in through the holes we leave.
Arguments Unreasonable .1.
. The Association of Oregon Counties offers as reasons
for repeal of the existing law claims that the cost "is an
unnecessary burden." Also that the public records are
open to anyone who desires to inspect them and that be
cause of the opportunity for public inspection there is no
reason the synopsis of the records should be published.
Without attempting to question motives, it is my opin
ion that the reasons and arguments offered by the associ
ation are totally inaccurate and unreasonable. .
What does it cost the county to publish each month its
report on activities and bills? The cost to the average tax
payer is less than one cup of coffee. Is that excessive?
Isn't that tiny sum well spent as a measure of protec
tion? , ' '
Someone will say that we don't need protection, against
honest public officials. . That's true. Neither do we need
policemen to protect us against honest citizens, but we do
need policemen to protect us against the possibility of crime
creeping in. And crime will creep in whenever our pro
tection isn't adequate.
But, getting back to the matter of cost', and coupling
that with the argument that
one to see. - :
Let's just suppose for a moment that we repeal the-law.
People will have an opportunity personally to Inspect the
records. To tlo so they must go to the courthouse. The
expense of that trip, if they go by automobile, will be more
than a person pays for publication. Then an individual
must have the lime of. a clerk to collect the records for him.
The time the clerk would use in finding the record would be
far more expensive than the taxpayer's cost of publication.
Time Required
If a hundred or more persons were to demand to see
the county court journal, and to require the county clerk
; to produce record of payment on the hundreds of bills paid
each month, the clerical time involved would be enormous.
The cost would be far more than is paid for. publication in
the two newspapers named each year as official county
newspapers. , V '
Then the argument is advanced that people don't read
the bills. That argument, too, is incorrect. - Studies show
that the reports are "scanned" by a majority of readers
while some 28 per cent have been listed in readership stud
ies. But we all know that some people people often called
"watchdogs of the treasury" read every word. They
study and analyze. They're interested in keeping the use of
taxpayer money at the lowest level. Ihey spread informa
tion on any irregularity.
If you think the reports aren't read, attend a meeting
of your county taxpayer league sometime!
It is my opinion that the "spotlight of publicity" is an
important protection to every taxpayer. The people's "right
to know" is one of the bulwarks of our freedom. To elim
inate that right is to open the door to corruption, something
of which Oregon has been singularly free.
I question that Oregon has any fewer people seeking
possibility for graft than we find in other states. But Ore
gon has put into its laws measures of protection.'- Publicity
is a deterrent to crooks seeking office. As a result we have
honest men in high positions.
Let's keep it that way !

Howard W. Smith, a sharp-eyed
banker and one of the shrewdest
men in Congress.
Just two weeks ago Kennedy
was barely able to chase Smith
up a congressional tree. -
Smith, a House member for 30
years and set in bis ways, repre

Middlcburg, where the Kennedys

ttctore me Kennedys settled
down in Middleburg the Presi

think the important thing we want
to keep in mind here is the real
desire of the President and Mrs.

"That is about Uie only recourse

But, inadequate though it is, it

The problems raised by these an

serious thought.
This would have meant gloomy
days for Kennedy's program un
less he got the whole House to
change the committee makeup by
adding some not-so-conservative
members to smother Smith and
his friends. - - - -
This is what-Kennedy and his
friends tried. They went through
the congressional , meadows for
people to line up with them while
Smith and his friends did the
same on their side.
In the ' end, Kennedy won but
by only five votes, h ardly a
smashing triumph for a new
president. The undaunted Smith
must have figured things might
get better if the House gets some
new members in the 1962 election.
He gave his new committee
members stiff backed chairs,
guessing out loud they wouldn't
be around long enough to need
comfortable ones.
Atlanta Declines
'Fix' Prosecution
ATLANTA, Ga. (AP)-The City
of Atlanta will not join cities con
sidering a mammoth joint suit
against electrical equipment firms
that pleaded guilty to rigging bids
on government contracts. Mayor
William B. Jlartsfield said today.
In a strongly worded statement,
the mayor said Atlanta "will not
borrow the -tactics of a buzzard
or a vulture in swooping down on
the troubles of a segment of the
business community."
Pleases Khrush
The firms, including General
Electric and Wcstinghouse, and
several of their executives were
fined and in some instances the
executives received jail sentences.
Damage suits under consideration
total millions of dollars.
"This exacerbation of the pri
vate enterprise system will no
doubt greatly please Mr. Khrush
chev," Hartsfield said. "If every
city sued every price fixer, large
and small, including the payola
boys, there would not he enough
lawyers and courthouses to hold
the litigation.
Reason For Move
"Of course such traits of low
ered national character must be
deplored, but remedied through
greater application of the Golden
Rule.
"Maybe that is why the business
and industry of the nation are
coming to Atlanta with their new
plants, factories and oflices."

About School Census
To The Editor:
Dr. Boyd writes with such court
esy that it becomes a pleasure
even to learn' that he disagrees
with one.
Your second correspondent is
less understanding. Even allowing
his premise of total church and
state separation, aid to a child can
only indirectly be considered as
benefitting an Institution. Perhaps
this same gentleman, however,
can explain something which has
long puzzled me.
Every year we second-class cit
izens are subjected to an unnec
essary invasion of our privacy
when the school census - takers
come around. It seems to me that
when children are to be ignored
in the distribution of educational
aid, consistency alone would de
mand that the miscarriage be com
plete, and that these children re
main uncounted. I am contempla
ting seeking legal advice as to the
possible consequence if one re
fused to divulge this personal in
formation as . irrelevant to one's
particular circumstances.
In the meantime, I should like
to thank Mr. Stanton for so gen
erously allowing space in his news
paper for reader participation. In
closing, let me offer a quotation
from Abraham Lincoln whose re
marks are often so very timely.
"Our Droerese in degeneracy ap
pears to me to be pretty rapid.
As a nation we began declaring
that 'all men are created equal.'
We now practically read it 'all

are created equal, except negroes,
and foreigners, and catholics.'
When it comes to this I should

Izaak Walton League
Opposes Hatfield's Plan
To The Editor:
The Jackson County Chapter of
the Izaak Walton League adopted
a resolution after careful investi
gation and consideration of the
problems involved.
We oppose inclusion of the Fish
and Game Commissions in a de
partment of natural resources. .
Senate Bill No. 3 provides for
such inclusion.
Our opposition is based on the
following reasons:
1. The director ot natural re
sources would hold his office at
the pleasure of the Governor and
therefore, could .be removed with
out reason or cause and without
a hearing.
2. The administrator ol the fish
and game board (present director)
would serve at the pleasure of the
director of natural resources and
would be removable under( the
same conditions.
3. This plan of organization will
olace the management of fish and
game under the influence of all
types of political pressures.
4. The inclusion ol nsn ana game
management in
natural resources would depress
the importance of fish and game
in departmental considerations.
5. Ira N. Gabrielson. President
of Wildlife Management Institute,
says: "Those states which have
usually had the best administra
tion of the wildlife resources are
those which are the furthest re
moved lrom the governor's con
trol." We urge everyone to .contact

tors and state opposition to SB
No. 3 and SB No. 225 at once.

Prevention Of School
Failures Aim Of Bill
To The Editor:
While House Bill 1097, which
would raise the entrance' age of
school children, has already been
tabled, and thus a recent writer
to your column and others who
opposed the change have won their
point, I should like to say that the
merit of the bill lies in the pre
vention of school failures, based
on research.
It is true that we need a flexible
law which would allow children
to start school when they are ready
and not at a set chronological age.
Educational research shows that
average children are most ready
te learn to read at 6'j years.
Since reading is generally regard
ed as the criteria of success and
the basis of promotion, it would
seem expedient and wise to make
success more than a chance risk
when a child begins his school
life.
Yet, under the present law the
five-year-old may be placed along
side a child who is almost seven.
In many, many cases it is the
mature child who succeeds and
the immature is beset by many
problems and frustrations which
could have been avoided by simply
staying at home another year.
I know that there are many
qualifications and exceptions as to
when a child is ready lo start
scnooi, dui i do not think this
justifies overlooking the basic guid
ing lacis oi research. With the
money that educators and the pub
lic could save by preventing fail
ures, a program of readiness test
ing could be adopted or even the
establishment of kindergartens.

Writer Says Complaint
Is "Jumping The Gun"
' To The Editor! .; - ,
In answer to the short item in

on the lack of business downtown,
expecUilly here in Roscburg.
Wouldn't it be much better for
him to wait for a period of time
and see if business doesn't increase

increases?
At this moment Roseburg Is fac
ed with a terrific unemployment
problem and has even been .put on
the list for Federal aid, due to
conditions in the main industry,

Wouldn't it be better for Mr.
Leiken to try to bring more and
varied types of industry to our

on better tax laws and on i way to!
reduce power rates for larger com-

Very few states in the United
Mates have their banks opened on
Saturday and Oregon is one of the
last lo close.
I come from an area that hat
had this closing for yearj and it
hasn't hurt business one bit. It
does take lime getting used to but
after a while people will forget
that the banks were ever opened
on Saturday and will adjust.
