LOCAL GOVERNMENT
By Charles V. Stanton
Why should we liave city governments?
Why should our county be divided into school dis
trict?? Why shouldn't we have one central government on a
countywide basis, eliminating governmental units inside
the county?
, There's an idea to kick around!
Don't say that I am in favor of the idea! Just be
cause I am discussing the "pro" side, don't think that I
haven't a lot of "con" replies to my own questions.
But if you'll stop for a moment to consider the trend
of our political government, the social, industrial and busi
ness changes we've made in the last few years, I believe
you'll agree that a lot of the things we are doing at pres
ent are inefficient, extravagant and unnecessary.
Take, for example, the matter of city government!
People created cities fdV protection and convenience.
They couldn't travel except on foot or by train. Men had
to be within walking distance of their work.
Today, however, a person living ten miles from his of
fice can reach his destination in approximately the same
time it takes a man to walk a mile between his home
and office. So why should he live in a crowded city?
Why not have room for the kids, the dogs, and a small
garden?
Would Solve Problems
Yet he has fire and police protection at his office. He
does his financing at one of the city's banks. His kids go
to the consolidated school on the school bus. His office
has city sanitation. But he pays no city tax while en
joying city Rervice and convenience.' Of course, his an
swer is that his trade dollars create business for the city
which thereby profits by his presence.
But, if he's going on a long trip he takes an airplane
out of the municipal airport the city is striving to main
tain. Everyone in the county uses the city's airport. Why
shouldn't the whole county help maintain it?
Why should we have a dozen cities and as many paid
city managers? Why couldn't we have a county man
ager with 'three or four deputies, each assigned to a ter
ritory rather than just a city? Why should we maintain
a dozen city halls? '
Cities, as was seated, originally were set up because
of travel limitations, While we still are limited in our
travel, for purposes of domestic operation, that limitation
is many, many times that of only 50 years ago. So,
why shouldn't we expand our boundaries and our govern
mental functions to the area corresponding to the limita
tions existing today, rather than those of a half-century
ago? ,
. Suburban living has created a great many problems.
Suburban, areas have set up fire districts, sewer dis
tricts, recreation districts, water districts, police districts,
and many other services which normally go with a mu
nicipality. Suburban districts are adverse to joining with
the city. Annexation is hard to come by.
But why should suburban districts join the city?
Why shouldn't cities join their suburban districts? Why
shouldn't we create just one big district to take in city
and suburban areas alike, with one tax collection, based
on property valuations, and all under one management?
One Police Force '
Why should we have a dozen cities, each with a police
force, a sheriff's department, charged with law enforce
ment in the rural district, and a state police force, oper
ating in the jurisdiction of both the city and county police
forces?
If the city police forces were eliminated, and all the
policemen reassigned, we probably wouldn't need any
more people than we now have in uniform, yet they could
be better paid and better equipped.
It would be possible to eliminate overlapping and to
set up police patrols and protection in areas where law
enforcement currently is a rarity.
Each of our cities has certain paid officers. Yet the
duties of those officers could be combined into one office,
And we wouldn't need more than one-half the number of I
paid employees we have in municipal government today,
yet we'd have service equal to that we now have.
Why should each city have a street department? Why
should the city be required to furnish bridges used by ev
eryone? Why shouldn't we have one big road department
to serve the whole county cities, suburban and rural dis
tricts alike.

Pensions Replace Wages
As Goal Of Woodworkers
PORTLAND (AP) - There will

Intcrnallonal Woodworkers o f

Instead the stress will he on

states.
Most of the 40.000 IWA members
in the West now have no pension

by health and welfare plans, said
Harvey Nelson, president of the
union's Western Regional Council.
"We think we're very behind
lime in gelling pension plans for
our people," Nelson said, adding
that such benefits now are pro
vided by only a few companies.
Nelson said no linal proposals
have been drafted for the JWA
plan, but added that he estimated
realization of the union's - goals
would amount lo considerably
more than i 10 cent an hour wage

hoped negotiations could be on an

It was a time of raw nerves

By avoiding harshness, he has

Castro's Prestige
In South America
Reported Waning
WASHINGTON (AP) Arthur
Scblesinger Jr. plans to tell Pres
ident Kennedy today that the
popularity of Cuban Prime Min
ister Fidel Castro is on the de
cline in Latin America.
Schlesinger, presidential assist
ant, is to. report on a three week
swing through Argentina. Brazil,
Peru, Bolivia, Panama and Vene
zuela, where he accompanied the
U. S. Food for Peace , mission.
Schlesinger said Friday a de
cline in Castro's popularity has
been accompanied by a "very
great excitement and expectancy
over President Kennedy and the
new American leadership."
'A year, ago Castro struck
many Latin Americans as a. sym
bol of social change," said
Schlesinger. "Now he seems to be
a symbol of a Communist bridge
head on the continent."
Schlesinger said Castro re
mains popular among students
"his last stronghold seems to be
in the universities."
, But in virtually all other groups
including labor, Socialists and in
tellectuals, there is increasing
disillusionment, Schlesinger said.
The Harvard historian said
"excesses" of Castro's policies
were a source of disillusionment
and that a decline in popularity
began six months ago.
"But the rejection of Castro,"
Schlesinger said, "is not a rejec
tion of social reform. The need
for social change is keenly felt."
Aluminum Firm
Pays In Silver
THE DALLES (AP) More
than $65,000 in silver dollars was
being paid out to employes of
the Harvey Aluminum Co. here
Friday.
A spokesman for the company
said they were being distributed
to demonstrate to the community
the impact of the industry's pay
roll and its importance to the
economy of the region.
The silver dollars were almost
the entire stock available in the
Northwest, the spokesman said.
He said they were obtained from
Portland, San Francisco, and the
Denver Mint..
The company's action was
taken after residents of the area
said fumes from the plant are
dangerous to plant - and animal
life. They took their charges to
the state Sanitary Authority.
The company was granted a
30 day stay by the authority
Thursday to prepare answers to
the charges. The Wasco County
Fruit Growers association has
petitioned the sanitary authority
to intervene.
Meanwhile, a committee call
ing itself "Community Growth
Through Industry" is circulating
a counter-petition, asking resi
dents to uphold the company.
The committee is made up large
ly of Harvey Co. employes.
Holmes' Hauling Permit

watched the U. S. bureau of land
management, which by law is su
pervisor over 2,000,000 acres of O
& C lands in Oregon, try to log
over-ripe timber without having the
funds for the expensive business.
Congress was boss, but deliberate
ly reduced O & C appropriations
to "chicken feed" because by law
the O it C counties received 75 per
cent of the timber sale revenue
from their lands instead of the 50
per cent Oregon counties received
from national forest timber sales.
The harvesting of old timber in
U S L lands was crawling.
Then in 1955, the association
came to life with the happy
thought of investing a third of its
share of O & C revenue into O & C
roads and bridges and trees for
the bald spots foresters call this
reforestation. This investing soon
paid tremendous returns in more
O & C cash than ever before,
more jobs, more business, more re
forestation. In the past five years this asso
ciation turned over almost $45,000,
000 for roads, bridges and refor
estation. In a few years more ev
ery bald spot will be covered in
O It C lands, but the forest service
says it needs hundreds of years
and hundreds of millions of dol
lars to do the same thing in its
lands because congress hasn't been
investing money in the people's
property. The "take home pay"
of the O & C counties is continuing
to increase as its capital invest
ments increase.
Then this same inspired associa
tion got another big paying idea
investing in recreation for fun and
dollars. In 1959 it authorized diver
sion of $72,000 from O & C pay
ments into campsite development
on O & C lands because the federal
government wasn't doing right by
the many Oregon and touring peo
ple who were attracted to our scen
ic wonder.
This latest expansion is the
result of the association s third big
idea the investing of recreational
dollars from O&C timber sale
revenues in the national forests as
well. It is seeking financial help
from state and federal agencies
for the grand program which has
the promise of paying in many
dollars and much recreation.
This time O&C funds are to
come from a new source the prom
ised pickup in forest service sales
in the 500.000 acres of so-called
controverted O&C lands which
are intermingled with those of the
forest service. Because congress
has not been investing adequate
ly in forest service timber har
vesting, its management of O & C
timberlands is far behind that of
the bureau of land management
since the investment of O & C dol
lars iq roads, bridges, reforesta
tion and recreation.
