Attractive But Confusing
Salem streets ind Salem stores never
looked pretUer, and the Jingle of cish regis
ters in many instances has seldom been mer
rier. But on this page today is a "Safety
Valve" letter which seems to make a point
well worth bearing in mind. It pertains to
street lighting and its conflict with traffic
lights.
The garlands of fir boughs across our thor
oughfares lend a most pleasing effect to the
city and the lights at night are most pleas-,
ing. but it is true that at some intersections
they are very confusing.
The traffic lights ara somewhat brighter, -but
not enough to prevent conflict and we've
noted many a driver whosh through red lights
entirely unawara of his danger or the danger
to others. '..
Myriads of signs have long befuddled driv-,
ers, particularly drivers unfamiliar with the
areas they traverse and therefore seeking di
rections. There has seemed no complete an
swer to that problem. But tha problem of con
flicting lights is potentially even more serious.
We do not mean to belittle the time, effort
and expense entailed in making Salem a very
attractive city at this Yuletide season. But
we would suggest a new lighting arrangement
be devised before another December rolls
around. -y
Silliness in New Hampshire
We won't presume" to speak for Oregon of
ficialdom, or the Oregon Game Commission
in particular, but wa doubt very much there
would be any such row in the Beaver State as
has resulted from President Eisenhower's an
gling excursion to New Hampshire two years
ago. - i... ...
It seems that New Hampshire's governor.
Lane Dwinell. had to put real pressure on
Game Director Carpenter to get him to issue
the President a license without signing per
sonally for it and without being charged f 19
a day. The issue came out again this week in
a New Hampshire budget meeting at which
the governor told Carpenter he was "sick and
tired of the continued lack of cooperation of
your department"
WelL there are two sides, of course. Car
penter can well claim the President was plen- , .'.'.

Alaskans Scent Victory !
Alaska's two "senators" and one 'repre
sentative," voteless and aeatless in Congress,
are en route to Seattle and eventually Wash
ington, D. C.t this week chasing the rsinbow
which Oregon caught 98 years ago next Val
entines Day American statehood.
' It's been a long and hard chase. Ever since
1918, various statehood bills have been in
troduced but only in the last decade -has the
statehood drive seemed to have any real
chance of success. Hopes now are high, for
several reasons.
First, President Eisenhower has been
quoted by Secretary of the Interior Seaton
. as willing to sign a statehood bill for Alaska
(he already has snnounced he favored it for
Hawaii) if one is passed by Congress.
Second, both Alaska and Hawaii have
voted Democrat now and it seems possible
there would be a cessation of opposition to
statehood from Southern solons who opposed
it because they fi red the addition of four
senators would destroy their power to pro
tect the filibuster.
Third, Alaskans already have drafted their
potential statehood constitution, and last
spring their overwhelming approval of it put
at rest all arguments that maybe Alaska
didn't really want statehood after all.
There are still formidable obstacles in
volving either Hawaii or Alaska or both. One
of them is a report of Sen. Eastland of Mis
sissippi, chairman of the senate internal se
curity committee, that a recent investigation
in Hawaii had turned up evidence of "a con
spiracy to further Soviet purposes on those
islands." There is opposition to Alaska state
hood, too, from Seattle fishing and shipping
interests. But the issues are narrowing and
lessening.
The three Alaska delegates, driving white
automobiles inscribed "Alaska the 49th
State?, will transit the country from Seattle
to Washington via the state capitals of all
the states which successfully used this same
political strategem (minus the autos) in their
, fights lor statehood Oregon, California,
Iowa, Kansas, Michigan and Tennessee. In
each case, A. Robert Smith of The States
man's Washington, D. C, bureau points out,
bills were passed admitting these states to
the Union just a few months after their
elected delegates were dispatched to the
national, capital.'.
Two-and-a-half times the size of the largest
state (Texas), with a population approximat
ing only tha most sparsely-settled. (Nevada),
Alaska is similar in climate, topography, and
resources to Scandinavia, which has a popu
lation of 19.000.000.
These and other statistics are set forth in
a recent book by Ernest N. Gruening, terri
torial governor from 1939 to 1952 and now
one of the two "senators" en route esst.
Congressional buttonholes will be full of such
facts and figures in the next few months.
Alaskans scent victory. .. ' " ' '
signature on the license.
But we have an idea if the President want
ed to fish in Oregon, there would be no great
furore over presenting him with a permit as
an honorarium. After all, what precedent
would be set? There is only one President of
the U. S. A., and well chip in. anytime to buy
hira a fishing license, whoever he is, rather
than see a silly stink stirred up like New
Hampshire's. But we imagine the President
would have been more than willing not only
to purple up, but to sign his John Henry on
the dotted line if the incident ever had got
ten beyond bis third assistant secretary in tha
first place.
S:n. Jcscph K. Carson
The death of State Sen. Joseph K. Carson
kaves a considerable void in Oregon public
Lfe and among stalwarts of the Democratic
party. Looking far younger than his 63 years,
it was only two years ago the senator ran a
good race against the late Paul Patterson for
1 the governorship. Sen. Carson, whose term as
a solon would have expired next month, was
in service overseas in both World Wars, left
a successful law practice in 1933 to serve cap
ably for eight years as mayor of Portland,
was on tha maritime commission from 1947,
until its dissolution, and was state commander
of the American Legion. He was well liked,
well respected. His service will ba remem

their immediate control, to make the child a
life meaningful." But to a far greater degree
he regards it as due to "the thousands of
mothers and fathers who have constructed a
barrier of neglect and disinterest between
themselves and their children.- Well put, and
well worth pondering on for all of us!
Editorial Comment
Sound Money Policy
Sound mohey Isn't just the business of the banker.
Il l something that concerns all of us.
As the current issue of the New England Utter
of the First National Bank of Boston points out.
-wise monetary restraint is the best urante of
sound money and more stable growth. It would be
a dis service to the nation to allow the money sup
ply to expand for any extended period more rapidly
than the eupply of goods available for purchase.
Every curve of the inflationary spiral clips away
a portion of the pay check. Insurance policy and
pension. This is something- we may forget although
the housewife should be reminded of it when she
goes shopping. .....! .wi
There has been a mounting threat of Inflation this
year and one of the most important actions to hold
the line haa been in the area operating a policy of
monetary restraint. -
This "tight money" policy was adopted princi
pally because the demand for investment funds was
getting too high in relation to the amount of savings.
But when the money supply expands for an ex
, tended period more rapidly than the supply of
goods available for purchase there will result an
out-of hand inflationary situation, from which the
average eititen will suffer. " t
The policy has been a sound and prudent one
even though it has been criticized ia some quarters.

Confused by Lights
To the Editor:
Any tourist like myself, loaded
with Xmas spirit, or neutral
spirits, would, as I did, become
very confused while driving
through Salem on the business
district route. " . '
Every time I came to an inter
section, I was forced to stop and
figure out which red and green
light was the traffic light.
May I suggest that before some
native of Salem tries to cross,
a green Xmas light, the path of
a south-bound California driver
proceeding on a green traffic
light The result of which would
be considerable vehicle damage,
possible blood, guts and pieces of
human bodies strewn around the
Intersection you better remedy
the situation.'
I'm coming back soon, and us
Republicans become confused in
