Development Upon Development
Development upon development is piling
into Salem and the Salem area these days,
culminated Tuesday by the choosing of the
' Cottage Farm lite east of the city for the new '
$4,800,000 correctional institution. .
" Af was the case with, the contemplated
$15,000,000 mental home for which a site
near Wilsonville was announced Friday, lo
cation of the correctional institutional de
pended on the site chosen by the military for
the $60,000,000 Woodburn Air Base earlier
last week.
So three of tht valley's largest projects
were decided on within the last week. Then,
two Salem stores have announced expansions
to cost more than $200,000. And now comes
the decision on the long-discussed Moores
Memorial, to bo paid for from the estate of
. the late Carroll L. Moores. Subject to final
business arrangements and ratification by the
Salem City Council the verdict went to Avard
Fairbanks of Salt Lake City for his statuary
group entitled "The Guidance of Youth."
. : Certainly no one can say that the Pioneer
Trust Company and varying committees of
tivic-minded citizens have not given sincere
nd exhaustive study to the expenditure of
the fund.
Street Widening
Two years ago the voters authorized a bond
Issue to finance widening of Twelfth street,
swinging it on a curve to join North Capitol
.That work is just now getting under way.
Needed on its completion will be widening
Twelfth from Mission to South city limits.
This Is provided in a proposed bond issue to
be voted on at the coming city election.
Two other street widening projects are
included: Market street from Summer street
east to the city limits and Fairgrounds road
from South street to Hood street. All these
streets are to be widened to give a paved
width of 44 feet from curb to curb. The total
estimated cost is $188,000.
As volume of motor vehicle traffic In
creases it is necessary to v)iden our arterial
streets to permit the easy flow of traffic.
Streets on state highways are cared for by
the state. The city must take care of other
streets within its borders. The need for widen
ing exists and will become urgent as time
passes. We recommend approving the bond
issue, by voting No. 52 YES.
The next few weekends, from a cursory
look at tht calendar, make a body gasp for
time. First there'i Mother's Day, and if moth
en aren't important nothing is. Next there's
tht Friday primary election and it'll pro
ably be Sunday before all candidates know
whether to accept congratulations or to send
them. Weekend after that is tht opening of
tht lakt fishing season, plus Pringle School's
centennial, and tht two following will be
pretty well taken up by Marys and Johnnie
getting graduated from grade schools on up
through the college degree stage. And this
doesn't take into account meetings, conven
tions, etc. But tome of these events might
get ns out of mowing the lawn, at least

The Dalles Chronicle recounts that Giles
French of Moro has been elected president
of the Old Wasco" County Pioneer Association
and we Would like to move promptly that
the word "old" be stricken from the till.
We don't know how it fits the rest of the as
sociation, but it's not for Giles.
As a matter of fact, one of the most able,
honest, argumentative and likeable publish
ers and state representatives Oregon ever
had is only 61. It doesn't seem possible to
have crowded so much cantankerousness in
so few years, but that's what the book says.
He'll be 62 come Dec. 24. But even if be were
92, we'd say the society should either change
its name or get a new president. The "old"
doesn't and never will fit Giles French.
Editorial Comment
THE SHRINKING EQUATOR
As if the world didn't have enough troubles
already, along come a couple of scientist to re
; port that it is a half a mile smaller around the
equator than bad been popularly asumed. For an
individual earthman or woman to lose a little
around their personal equators might be a wel
come occurrence indeed. When the whole planet
shrinks around the waistline the news nil to be
greeted with universal concern.
0( course, half a mile isn't very much. The
knowledge probably wouldn't have induced Ma
gellan to start out on his circumnavigation of the
globe a day earlier than be did. But trends of
this sort have to be watched very carefully. The
scientists who managed to stretch an imaginary
tape-measure around the globe say that their find
ings will make it easier to launch and control the
artificial earth satellite scheduled for ascension in
1957 or 1968. But is there more to it than that?
The possibility cannot be overlooked that the vari
ous global difficulties of recent years have caused
the world to lose some of its girth, or at least to
tighten its belt in a time of troubles. A lean and
hungry look does not become this planet; such
worlds ax dangerous.
The situation fortunately has not yet reached the
stage of demanding remedial steps. There is no
need as yet lor expeditions to pile earth upon
strategic, sections of the equator, or (or a course
of stretching exercises to be instituted. On the
whole, jt's probably better for the globe to be con
tracting t little thaa to be developing flabbiness
around the midriff. Nevertheless, this sort of thing
can be carried to extremes, and it's best to be oa
guard against recurrences. It certainly is a small
world. (New York Herald Tribune.

Art Kulptors these days have a lot of things to worry
about besides esthetic values, inspiration and verve. This
came out in the recent to-do over selecting a piece of statu
ary for the Carroll Moores memorial. Seems that realistic
city and park officials view statuary from a slightly different
angle than the artistic-minded citizen. They like a piece of
sculptoring to be not only pleasing to the eye. but also
vandal-proof. They don't like statuary which will be a target
for climbing kids, or which can be defaced or marked up, or
easily damaged . . .
Gty Chamber

(Prefer page 11, see II)
Salem Chamber of Commerce
did a brisk business in member
ships Tuesday in a one-day can
vass of several hundred prospec
tive members.
More than 200 chamber mem
bers made calls on prospects.
With their reports far from com
plete Tuesday night, the chamber
counted over 40 new members.
Officials of the chamber said
early returns indicated an encour
aging attitude toward the cham
ber, with about one out of four
prospects joining.
Even the reported turndowns
provided some helpful comments
and updated information for cham
ber files, said Campaign Chairman
Sidney Boise.
Reports of the campaigners
were tabulated by a chamber of
fice fore headed by Assistant
Manager Ted Garlington. Most of
the late reports are expected to
reach the chamber office today.
The day's program started with
a early breakfast at the Senator
Hotel for the chamber campaign
group. Keynote speaker was State
Sen. John Merrifield who praised
Salem for having had "the most
substantial growth of all Oregon
eities."
"The Chamber is your depart
ment of public relations." he said,
mentioning that most businesses
weren't big enough to operate their
own public relations department,
so they joined in a chamber to fill
the same need.

thos teeth cannot be replaced.
I realize that several other im

diet and climate, but the recogni

any way lessn the importance of
any other factor, such as minute

Let us us every means we hava

Let us make up for a deficiency

less than having cavities filled or

would be much simpler.
It cannot be emphasized too
much that adding 1 part per mil

Congremloaal Inrffertlvenem
to the Editor:
This will be my last politically
tinted letter, meant to be sharp
as th-j editor's rules permit. There
is in this no personal feeling or
animus whatsoever.
For some time 1 have had the
settled conviction that Oregon at
this time has in its U.S. senate
representation the most ineffec
tive senators it has had during 40
years residence.
Here's why: when senators are
elected the prestige of office Im
plies a certain degree of leader- .
ship within the states' congres
sional delegation. This is as it
should be. There Is no surh lead
ership, however, in our present
delegation. Any such-body divided -against
itself has little chance of
accomplishing anything through
congress.
What is worse, our delegation
Is divided into factions working
tt cross-purposes, even striving to
nullify or undo the work of the
others, but, shockingly worst of
all, open clashes on the floor.
Such inexcusable, miserable, ut
ter lack of judgment and respon
sibility should not be, lightly con
doned. ' The senator know full
well whom the home-folks will
support in controversial matters.
The senior Is an usurper not
rightfully in the place he occupies,
tolerated because ther is no
law to cover bis ease when be,
the first in the hitory of this
country while in high office, per
petrated defection from his spon
sor party, repudiating the respon
sibilities while clinging to the
emoluments of the office, justify
ing his action by the most pecu
liar! devious reasoning I ever
heard. Junior merely echoes the
flashy irresponsible lead.
Few states equal Oregon In the
extent and variety of its natural
resources. We have the immense
national domain, comprising
many acres much of it located
within one of the finest timber
growing regions of this earth.
And now, McKay and Hitch
cock, when one or both of you
are in the senate, and the disrup
tive influence has vanished from
the scene, you will come forward
as leader in a nation-wide crusade
for the development of the north
west's priceless heritage, a vast
program to challenge your high
est aspirations, and one that will
never be finished.
But what a monument I see to
some dedicated statesman "The
Oregon Forester" whom future
generations will delight to honor
In this you will be enthusiastical
ly supported by House members,
then with a united delegation,
each working in his own particu
lar field, but all in harmony, Ore
gon will again rise to the proud
position in high councils of the
nation it held not so many years
ago.

Tax Study tried
To the Editor:
Stalesments being released by
official agencies concerning the
effect of tax increases soon to be
submitted to the voters of the city
are quite bewildering.
In the attractive brochure re
cently emanating from the City
Hall, it is said that if all money
measures are approved on May
IS (omitting the one year library
levy), there will tie added to gaefc
$100 of annual property tax the
sum of $3 68. So, if i homeowner
paid a tax of $200 for the 19U-5S
fiscal year, he would next year
pay $207.3.
From another approach, a study
discloses that approval of all pro
posals would mean a tax increase
of about 5 5 mills, which is the
figure cited by the Statesman on
April 27, and which appears to be
correct. To this must be added
2 55 mills already sequestered for
the new tentative city budget for
general purposes, making a total
contemplated tax Increase of over
I mills.
A home in Salem that now is
Water engineers have been en
gaged to prepare preliminary
plans for this project. They esti
mate the total cost at $3,750,000.
While the bonds will be general
obligation bonds as well as
claims on the revenues of the
water system, payment will
come from water revenues, the
taxed $200 has an assessed value
ation of approximately $20(0,
since the present total tax rate
in the city is 97 mills. Eight
mills on a base of $2060 results
in an increase of $16.48.
A favorable vote on the local
school budget at the special
school district election May 25
would add another 7.1 mills
(Press reports, April 26), or
$14.63 to the home assessed at
$2060, and the total increase
would be $31.11, or a jump of
over 15 per cent, without consid
ering possible augmented coun
ty demands. Latest estimates
from the City Hall made the
foregoing hypothesis appear
very conservative.
It should be noted too, that th
assessed valuation of the average
modern home is probably closer
to $2.i00 than to $2000. The actual
figure appears on all tax re
ceipts, A tax increase of $30 or $35
per annum, first effective next
November, may not be severely
burdensom to a large number of
property owners, but similar
same as for payment of the origi
nal water bond issue. This will
require an increase in water
rates, and part of the addition
will come from eliminating the
rate reduction during the sum
mer months.
The city officials are to be'
commended for being foresighted
and for taking the people into
their confidence. We have seen
too many cities in Oregon where,
through failure of authorities to
act in time, water supplies ran
short in the critical summer
months. If we are going to keep
up our lawns and gardens and
shrubs and keep Salem a beauti
ful city we must have adequate
water "on tap." This is the most
satisfactory way to get it. It will
take two years to design and
construct the works, so it will
be 19.18 before the line will be
in service. Defeating the bond
proposal now means a delay of
a year or two at least, and that
might be a very serious matter
If our summers are cool we
might get by safely a year or
two; but authorizing the project
now 4 simply good insurance
against a water shortage.
Therefore, the recommenda
tion stands to vote No. 54 YES.

Court Eyes
Car Parkers
At Courthouse
Parking problems at the Marion
County courthouse popped up again
Tuesday in a complaint by Oliver
Rickman, building custodian, to
the county court.
Rickman was particularly con-
cerned with the number of illegal j
parkers along the basement ramp
behind the courthouse, and with!
cars blocking the building's serv
ice entrance.
This was the second lime this
year the parking situation has been
called to the court s attention, in
a complaint last February from
various county departments, the
area affected was the larger court
house lot beyond the basement
ramp.
Tuesday it was annqunced that
most of the cars using the ramp
improperly belong to county work
ers with other parking stalls as
signed to them. County Judge Rex
Hartley promised to investigate
the situation and, if necessary, to
temporarily assign a county road
patrolman to the parking lot beat.
