POLITICAL CHANGE COMING
By Charles V. Stanton
Bruce Biossat, editorial commentator, recently dis
cussed in his column on this page the relative crime rate
between city and rural districts. He quoted statistics to
show that the crime rate is higher in cities than in rural
areas He indicated, however that this situation may re
sult partly from the fact that there is a larger opportunity
for crime in the cities than in the country.
He prefaced his discussion with the statement mat, pol
iticians, social scientists and others are giving a lot of
thought to ways of preserving the best of rural America in
an age increasingly dominated by an urbanized society.
"There is a feeling among many political figures that
the rural grip on many state legislatures is sure to be
broken," he said, "even though the change probably will
come far more slowly than suggested by the early reactions
to the Supreme Court's Tennessee decision on this matter.
(The court decision required the state to contrive an ap
portionment giving fairer representation oi population.;
Here is a political question that has greatly disturbed
Oregon.
Our State Constitution presently provides that both
houses of our legislature must be apportioned according to
population.
Rural Control Losing
A reapportionment plan made by the legislature was
reiected bv the Sunreme Court which accepted a formula
submitted by Secretary of State Howell Appling. Appling
indicated he didn't care for the strict population base of re
apportionment, but he had no choice other than to obey instructions.
A petition now has been filed assuring a vote on a new
nronosal. It would base the upper house of the legislature
entirely on population, but would include some considera
tion of area in the lower house. But it is a question wheth
er the rural areas will be able to retain any part of the
control enjoyed over the legislature at this time.
Oregon was strictly an agricultural state until compara
tively few years ago. In fact, the whole United States had
its beginning in an agricultural economy, the country was
run from its "grass roots.
Then the country began to industrialize. The northeast
ern part of the country became quite heavily industrialized,
When the southern states tried to compete they found hos
tility from northern financial institutions. Financial barons
of the time were blocking the South's every effort to break
away from its one-crop economy. The North, through con
trol over transportation and monopoly of. manufacture,
reaped the greater share ot the profit from the South s
cotton crop, while the South s riches were confined to rela
tively few plantation owners. Poverty and slavery were
ampiint throughout the area.
That situation, rather than the matter of slavery alone
was the real origin of the War Between the States, our Civ
il War.
Then our great Midwest became a political battle
ground, with our parlies fighting for the farm vote. And
politicians are still fighting for the farm vote, even though
today's situation is changed vastly from that of a few years
ago.

Our mother country had plenty of

a reasonable quota of greats.
ELECTING rulers, you see, is no
more dangerous than getting rul

Speaking of rulers, tragic Alger

Just what change will this make in the nolitics of the
future?
One of my very good friends is very much concerned.
He holds the opinion that the rural districts are much long
er on "common sense" than the cities. The cilv vote, in
cluding many labor unions controlled by politically-minded
lauor .lenders, are more apt to be influenced into radical
proposals, it is contended.
"Pie-in-the-Sky," "Ham on Thursday," and other freak
promotions had their start and found their support in big
cities, says this observer friend. He firmly believes that
the country needs the brake of common sense which he be
lieves is far stronger in the rural districts the "cow
counties" than in the cities.
But the cit ies have the strength. The urban vote can
swamp the rural vote at any time it realizes its power.
When it does come to a full realization that, tlm II n Inn rrnv
i need to woo the farm votn. wp'II
change in our political practices, I predict. Whether the
change will be good or bad remains to be seen.
There was a flurry ot talk some
time back about the need for
teaching the facts about commun
ism in our schools. While a num
ber of systems have instituted or
are planning such courses, the
idea seems to have lost some of
its momentum.
Another educational reform idea,
being pushed by at least one group,
hasn't caught the public's enthusi
asm as yet, but this one bids fair
to result in a much-needed over
haul of high school social studies
The group is the Civil Liberties
Educational Foundation of New
York, formed to improve educa
tion in the field of civil liberties.
It may surprise many to hear
that thousands of boys and girls
are being graduated sadly defici
ent indeed .almost ignorant
of the real meaning of the Consti
tution and the Bill of Rights. Yet
surveys show they are.
An important one by Purdue Uni
versity in I960 queried the opinions
of 10.000 high school students. Over
a third said that the right to cir
culate petitions should be abolish
ed. Thirty-seven per cent felt third-
degree police methods were all
right and 43 per cent favored curbs
on free speech or had no strong
feelings about it.
Another teen-age poll revealed
that almost half of those asked
favored wire lapping against crim
inals and "radicals" the latter
being a vague group which Dre-
sumably included anybody with
unpopular opinions.
Still another survey found that
more than half the students ques
tioned advocated censorshin.
Though not asked, it can be as
sumed that they meant censorship
oi "ine other fellow. '
While college students have trad
itionally been noted for their lib
eralism, it would seem that high
school students are even more con
servative than their parents. Pos
sibly it is merely a phase of grow
ing up, a sign of the group secur
ity so important to teen-agers.
Yet, since as many as 30 per
cent of nigh school students drop
out before graduation, huge num-
ucrs of young men and women
are entering society each year
with no understanding of the fun
damental rights which are the real
strength of America. Where are
they going to learn if they missed
it in high school?
In a few years they will be help
ing to make the decisions as to
the course this country takes.
Where will they get the necessary
wisdom? And even for those who
stay in school, the subject is oft
en boring and unimaginatively pre
sented.
The New York foundation has
budgeted $150,000 for a two-year
action plan. In cooperation with
school officials, it includes com
piling a bibliography of reading
matter, a survey of the teaching
practices in the social studies and
the holding of summer workshops
for teachers.
Perhaps they will inspire educa
tors around the country. Even bet
ter, perhaps they will win the sup
port of the parents of tomorrow's
citizens.

At the other end of the country,
two eminent Republicans, former
Vice President Richard M. Nixon
and State Assemblyman Joseph
C. Shell, battled each other for the
gubernatorial nomination on issues
of high principle.
When the primary was all over,
however, Shell the loser demanded
one-third of the delegates in the

support for Nixon in the coming

President Kennedy at a recent
press conference bemoaned that
people are not concerning them
selves with the real problems of
the country which are economic
but are considering every issue
a political matter.
As every old political pro knows,
there is nothing unusual about that
in an election year. Paradoxes of
this kind make things awfully
tough for whoever is in the White
House trying to do a job. But the
more inconsistent a criticism is
the more political sense it seems
to make.
In the President's case, lie
is being chastised one minute for
seeking too much power and the
next for lack of leadership.
Jicpublicans criticize this year's
budget deficit without mentioning
they had a bigger one in 1959.
Much of the agitation being whip
ped up for an immediate tax cut is
of political inspiration. President
Kennedy himself started it with his
statement that a cut was being
considered for presentation to Con
gress next year.

On the one side was tough, sul

provisional government desig
nated to run newly independent
Algeria until elections can be
held.
While other Algerian leaders
sought to minimize the differences
between the two, these differences
actually were basic to the future
of Algeria.
Ben Khedda held that independ
ence permitted "cooperation not
only between France and Algeria
but also between France, North
Africa, the Arab world, and Af
rica." The embittered, radical Ben
Bella would sever all ties with
France.
"Economic colonialism must go

said.

Editorial Comment
BILLBOARD BANISHMENT
Coos Bay World
Wc applaud the action of the Gardiner-Reedsporl Lions Club in
petitioning the Stale Scenic Area Commission for protection of the
Umpqua River Highway 38 scenic route from billboard advertising.
Thus far, except for what we believe is an unfortunate defacing of the
terrain itself by Ihe scalping or logging off of young timber stands
along the embankment, the Umpqua River scene has remained pretly
much unspoiled.
The Highway Department has routed Highway 38 in such a man
ner as to maintain the scenic values of the route. The green timber
moves close to the water's edge on the north bank and is reflected in
the green depths of the river. The passing motorist, tourist from afar
or beauty-seeking local resident driving home from a tense day of
work can find a certain refreshment of spirit in the setting.
Billboards extolling the doubtful virtues of somebody's real or
unreal bread, somebody else's eancerless, filtered cigarettes, or
someone else's beer would add little to that spiritual repose. And
really, now, wc doubt if such advertising, viewed by motorists at 50,
GO or 70 mph, sells much bread, many smokes or much beer.
Any citizen, group, or public agency can petition for the scenic
area designation of any area, and call for public hearings on such
needs and recommendations. It is a new law on Oregon's books. We
are happy to see citizens, in Lions Clubs. Chambers of Commerce, or
alone, making use of the legal provision Dawn I'cseau.
