9 atows-ttwicw o r ia i fa TO THE RESCUE! - In The Day's By FRANK JENKINS Hews 4 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Coastal Zoning Deserves Commendation Zoning of Pougla County's coastal, strip from Reedsport north to the county line and five miles inland from the ocean will, we may be mire, eventually be rec ognized as an outstanding act of respon sible citizenship. All concerned with this activity deserve appreciation and commendation. It was entirely possible for the Doug las County Court to have shoved zoning down the throats of residents of the area. The law permits the court to order zon ing regulations without consent. Such regulations may remain in effect for a fixed period, after which residents may, by an election, decide whether they' will retain the restrictions. But the Douglas County Court didn't act in any such arbitrary manner. In stead, working with and through the Planning Commission, every phase of the program was discussed with the resi dents of the region. Majority under standing, cooperation and approval was obtained before the order was made.; There are plans to Include this area in a National Park. But it will be a good many years before any federal action is taken. In the meantime our coastal region is growing by leaps and bounds. Expansion involves industrial, residential and rec reational uses. This growth will be far in advance of the slower decision concern ing park status. Unless steps are taken immediately to protect property values, it is almost certain that undesirable uses will be made of some lands. That, In turn, will depress values of adjoining properties. j Gov. Hatfield recognized this fact in urging the counties of Lnne, Douglas and Coos to adopt uniform zoning regulations. A tri-county committee was formed to study the matter. But it was unable to ''sell" zoning to all affected areas. I The northern section of Douglas Conn- THE LIGHTER SIDE: Architect's Work Liked Over Song m By DICK WIST WASHINGTON (UPI) There Is generally a right way ind i wrong way to approach a prob lem, although ...many people ap parently are not aware that they have a choice. With all due respect, I submit that Sen. Paul 11. Douglas, D-11L, chose the wrong way to try to abolish the architect of the Cap itol. The title of architect presently Is J worn by J. George Stewart, a genial gentleman who goes about the Capitol puffing on a pipe and performing what he construes to be good works. The $2tl million new Senate of fice building, the $20 million east f rcrht extension and tho $118 mil lion newest House office buildings ari among the projects carried out tinder his aegis. 'J Unappreciated By Seme Some members of Congress, however, do not appreciate nil that Stewart has done for them. There seems to he a feeling that he is killing them with kindncsa. As Sen. William E. Proxmire, D-Wis.. put it: "We hav nothing hut disasters to show ' for the enormous amounts of money that Congress has been persuaded by the architect of the Capitol to spend." Ho told the Senate that the nrw buildings were "inconsistent with the rest of the archi tecture"; that the construction has been "exceedingly expensive:" that "actual spending always soars far over initial estimates and that "blunder his followcrt blunder. All of this led Proxmire to con clude that the Capitol would he hotter off without an architect. When the annual legislative sp proprlatlon bill came before lhean i(pi, ,m amiy uf "rjranls Senate this week, he introduced i ... ,ir,,i- i nnn.u,ri l,,. o-i an amendinent to abolish the oftice. r'" son Jr., and the June 14 hirlhdav!

As previously mentioned every phase of the zoning plan went before a commiU tee representing the residents of the area. The land use plan, as a result, was not impressed upon the people. Instead it was worked out with residential coop eration. This is in marked contrast with some parts of neighboring counties where resi dents are battling with county courts, planning commissions, the federal gov . ernment, etc., insisting upon a status ouo : which any reasoning concerning the fu , ture indicates is both impossible and dan gerous. Douglas County, through a program that has had the benefit of the ideas of many people, now has a master outline that will assure order to future growth, rather than some of the sad disorder to be seen elsewhere. Particularly to be commended is the foresight in creation of a tourist-commercial zone, a new feature in land use plan ning. Tourism, unquestionably, is to be one of the chief factors in the use and development of our coastal area. To pro vide areas to be particularly developed for the accommodation and entertain ment of out-of-state visitors is a farsight ed and practical plan. It is to be hoped that the Douglas County residents south of Reedsport to - the Coos County line will imniediately take steps to urge upon the Planning Commission similar land use studies and ordinances. At this time, particularly in view of Industrial expansion at Gardiner, the emergency Is chiefly in the north half of the county's coastal area. But a great i'-;d of land south of the Umpqua River likewise should be designated for its best um3, particularly as there exists a large recreational potential which should not be lost by inferior and even undesirable developments. might bt a good way to get Con gress out of Washington." To a layman such at myself, this had the ring of pure logic. It failed to sway the bulk of his colleagues, however, and the amendment was rejected. 1 strongly doubt that the pro posal would have bcon adopted under any circumstances, but any chance It might have had was lost when Douglas arose to support it. Lyrically citing the blessing It would provide, Douglas declared that "If we were to wake up soma morning and find that we were not graced with the pres ence of an architect of the Capi tol, we would all sing, '01 What a beautiful morning, 0' What a beautiful day!"' Although the other senators tact fully rofralncd from comment, I suspect their reaction was that anything the architect might do would bo prcrcrable to having Douglas burst Into song.

(Cooyrlght, 1 by Unllrt Ftlvir Synd., Inc.) HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO RECEIVE "EXTRA MONEY" ON JULY 1, BECAUSE THEY SAVED REGULARLY! 1 rw DOUGLAS KOStlURG Over on the other side of the fence, in California. Gov. Brown wanted a withholding tax as a de vice to raise more money in the seemingly least painful way. The California legislature refused to give it to bim. This week be indicated that he will be wililng to "retreat from the withholding tax plan if the legislature (at a special session to be called to begin on July 81 pre sents him with alternate financ ing methods which will achieve long range budget solution." What is a withholding tax? This is how it works: Withholding takes it out of the paycheck meaning that on each payday the employer withholds a mi-tain amount from the employp's wages and turns the amount with held over to the government.

But I There's a catch to it. j The increased wage (to give the i employe as much take-home pay ' as he had before the withholding j started) increases the employer's COSTS. So Having had his costs increased, the employer is compelled to raise his prices. Whereupon the employe, when he begins to put two and two together, discovers that while his TAKE HOME pay (after his wage increase) is the same as "t used to be before the withholding rigmarole started his KEEP AT HOME pay is considerably re duced by the higher prices for the things he has to buy. So- He has to jump his employer for ANOTHER pay increase so that his KEEP AT HOME pay may remain equal to what it used to be. That starts the whole vicious circle all ovci again.

UNCLE STORY CORNER by Alan Knudtson of KNUDTSONS' JEWELERS I'm the kind of a "square" who thinks that some of the wonderful 1 things about Oregon ought to -h? preserved, and that Chamber of I Commerce type come-hithcring di- rected toward industrial growth may well spell the end to all the I things that we love about Oregon and take for granted, i For some inscrutable (to me) reason, bigness is associated by many people with bestness. I sup pose some people would like to brag to a person from another I city, say Mcdford or Eugene, that "our town is bigger than your town." Or maybe, "our city has got more unusual and exotic plac es to eat than your town has." (We've got some real "different" places, but they're not exotic). Frankly, it seems to be an is sue of pride. Roscbursers arc in ordinately proud of their town and area, but they can't seem to put their finger on exactly what it is that they're proud of. What ever it is, it can well be lost in the fumes of more smoke stack!), more parking problems, race riots, more labor problems, more crime, more taxes, too much hunting and fishing pressure, water contamina tion, sprawling suburbias, air pnl ution, traffic jams, water short ages and the other accompanying problems of simply having too many human beings crammed into too small a space. Wilh all this undoubtedly in mind. Stuart I loll) rook and a band of merry men up North decided the great Northwest would not be so great if it took on the aspects of a Los Angeles transplanted. Thoy formed the James G. Blaine association pledged to turn back outlanclers with , the simple psychology of advertising t h e Northwest's rainfall. To a Californian raised in cactus and palm country, the word rain is filed in the same recess of his mind as is the word plague. One has only to casually roter to the average yearly rainfall of any area in Western Oregon or Wash ington in speaking to a Californian, and he will blanche and slide into his convertible and head south. If he still lingers, drawn by the beau ty of our yet unspoiled playground, he can be further prodded by tell ing him that although the sum mers are mild and dry. the win ters arc just ri;ht for growing mushrooms or the mold of which penicillin is made. Invite him back lo vacation next summer, but for gosh sakes don't encourage him to settle; is the general idea. In an article written for Holi day magajine, Hoihrook told a story about one utizen of the Xorthwe-t v.hn carried this whole idea to the illogical extreme. He was talking to an oullandor who wanted to know if it rained much in Oregon. "Well," said the na tive, "last year it rained every blessed day cept three: and them three daj was damned cloudy!" 19. frl. Waft) AL'S
