"BULL-HEAPED" SPENDING
We don't need more taxing to support more welfare spending
and »ocial betterm ent spending; w e need drastically less welfare
spending and social betterment spending. We don't need tax-
lim itation measures to prevent increased property taxes to cover
welfare spending; w e need legislators with enough honest guts to
cut the welfare spending. We have tried consistently to explain
that legislative measures for more and more taxes to cover more
and more welfare spending were actually only measures in a wild
scramble for more money with which to buy more votes (with the
voters' own ro o ey ) for the legislators— not a desire on the part of
those legislators to "do something" for their constituents.
For such accusations as this colum n has thus m ade, w e have
been caustically criticised by democrats and republicans a lik e, by
high-ups and low-downs and a ll in betw een. But since truth w ill
out, vindication seem s to be seeping through, com ing from some
of the most unexpected quarters, from President on down.
In an editorial Sunday headed "BULL-HEADED", the editor of
the O egonian referred to last w eek's slick com m ents by President
Johnson, "urging Congress to quit increasing his $113 billion bud­
get. " A ctually, President Johnson has been very pleased by the
Congressional additions to his budget; they have not only "proved"
that his askings were right and net extravagant, but have given
him the opportunity to appear frugal when he chides Congress for
its profligacy. The O egon ian editorial writer recognizes this
when he says: ' The thing is, President Johnson isn't running for
office this year. But all House members and a third of the sena­
tors are. Congressional leaders see p olitica l advantage in adding
to the $23.5 billion proposed by the President for nonm ilitary
spending ch iefly for agriculture, health, education and w elfare.
WE THINK THEY'D PLEASE THE VOTERS MORE IF THEY WOULD
REDUCE EXPENDITURES TO CURB INFLATION AND PREVENT
AN INCREASE IN FEDERAL TAXES. "(Capitals ours for emphasis) i
We submit that this adm onition on how to please the voters
would apply just as effectu ally to Oregon voters on the state le v e l
aj on the national le v e l. Instead of looking for sales taxes and
other means o f robbing Oregon tax pockets, our legislators would
please voters a lot more by cutting out a bunch of unnecessary
state spending for "agriculture, health, education and welfare"
profligacy. So far, we have heard of few Oregon legislators pos­
sessed of enough of the above mentioned guts to try to reduce our
state spending budget in this manner. A ll the democrats w e know
sneer at the idea; and our Governor and all the republican politi­
cians in Jackson county are fully in love with Mr. Johnson's so­
cialistic methods— because, up to now, it has successfully bought
a whale of a lot of votes on both sides of the p olitical fen ce.
But w e honestly b elieve that the good old "ignorant" voters
are beginning to realize what beasts of burden the politicians are
making of them . More and more people are beginning to reseht
hearing by im plication: "What fools ye mortals be, " when the
politician grandly asserts "I was instrumental in getting three and
a quarter m illion dollars for my district. " It is beginning to be
noted by many voters that the p olitician failed to explain whose
money it was that he "got" for them .
In the face of this, the newspapers advise us that Oregon dem ­
ocrats and republicans in conventions over the weekend adopted
almost carbon copy planks and resolutions. In doing so, neither
said one word a*x>ut cutting spending.
On the national le v el, some dem ocratic and most republican
com m ent adverse to Mr. Johnson's spending programs approach
the issue only in degree o f spending. Now w e honestly appreciate
Republican Representative Frank T . Bow of Ohio has served
for many years in Congress. He is a highly responsible and re­
spected, able man. When President Johnson held his televised
press conference on Wednesday of last w eek, it touched off quite
a chain of com m ents from Mr. Bow. We want to pass on to you

federal spending in the cur­
rent fiscal year would have
been reduced by 1.5 billions.
“ Let me tell you,” he
said, “ just how much sup­
port I got from members o f >
the President’s own party
each time this amendment
was offered. On the Interior
Department bill, I had the
support of 30 Democrats. On
the Treasury-Post Office ap­
propriations bill. Democrat
votes totaled only 16. On the
departments of Labor and
Health, Education and Wel­
fare, Democrat votes went
up to a grand total of 36.
“ With a present House
membership of 294 Demo­
crats and 139 Republicans,
that is a pretty sorry effort
in support of a modest cut
of five per cent in federal
spending on three billls. We
all know that such a cut
could be absorbed by almost
any department or agency
of the government without
adverse effect on any essen­
tial program.”
Where, Bow asked, were
Postmaster General L a rry
O'Brien and his “ corps of
legislative liaison troops” if
the President didn't want
his budget requests increas­
ed?
g
“ When the initial funding
of the rent supplement
program and the National
Teacher Corps were much
desired by the President, O'­
Brien and his arm y came
up here and twisted enough
arms to assure their approv­
al,” he said. “ If the Presi­
dent really wants spending
kept within bounds, why
doesn’t he get on the tele­
phone to leaders, as he
does in connection with
programs he’s genuinely in­
terested in, and use his fa­
mous powers of persuasion?
, “ When I had tested the
temper of the House ant
found almost no democrati<
support among Democrats
for cutting appropriation re­
quests, I offered amend­
ments to keep them at the '
level
suggested
by the
President. Even then, the
m ajority party refused to
support my efforts.
“ What has happened to
the veto power of the Presi­
dent?
E a rlie r
presidents
have vetoed appropriation
bills and there is no reason
w hy
President Johnson
shouldn't do so. He started
this astronomical spending
binge which got us into an
inflationary spiral and he
has the top-heavy majorities
in both houses to stop it and
enforce a veto if he's sin­
cere.”
To Bow, one of the most
frightening elements in the
march to fiscal chaos is
public apathy.
“ The general public has
maintained an ominous and
— to me — incomprehensi­
ble
silence
about
the
tremendous proliferation of
federal programs,” he said.
“ I t has the most to lose.
That is why I find it hard to
believe that the President
would not use the opportuni­
ty of the press conference to
appeal for public demands
on Congress for reduced
spending.
“ What does it all add up
to for the people? First, we
shall continue to have price
inflation which may reach
serious proportions in the
months ahead. We can ex­
pect an unabated demand
fo r goods and services
which w ill result in price in-
c r e a s e s throughout the
economy.
“ Second, we can expect a
demand fro m the adminis­
tration for a tax increase to
ease the inflationary pres­
sures. I would guess that we
can expect such a request
no later than next January.
"T h ird , if the Viet Nam
w ar continues and escalates,
we may very well see the
adm inistration’s ‘voluntary
guideposts’
replaced
by
statutory wage and price
controls. Except for the
1930’s - type of depression
I cannot think of anything
that would be more deva­
stating to our economy than
«uch controls.
“ M ark Twain once said:
’Thunder is good, thunder is
impressive, but it is light­
ning that does the work,’ ’’
Bow commented. "We need
some lightning, not thunder,
from the White House If

In Our Opinion
Miss Buchanan’s Trial
H P H E CASE o f . Annette L. Buchan-
an’s contempt trial has drawn edi­
torial comment from almost every ma­
jor— and thousands of lesser— news­
papers in the United States— and most
surely, there has been comment in the
press of other nations. That Annette
was fined $300, but not given a jail
sentence, has been seen by many as an
indication of the court’s humanity. But
this is hogwash. If the court had been
concerned with the dignity of a citizen
who still believed in principles, yet con­
cerned with the need to abide with the
letter of the law, it could have just as
easily fined Miss Buchanan $1.00,
Among the hundreds of clippings we
have received from throughout the
country, three were on the side of law
and order. A ll the others were in agree­
ment that the sources of press informa­
tion were sacrosanct. One letter to the
editor pointed out that if the press were
protected a robber could walk up to a
reporter and say: "Hey, jezz, I just
robbed a bank. I ’ll tell you all about it
but you can’t squeal on me because
you’re a reporter.” W ell, obviously,
there’s no parallel. This is not a case of
a reporter searching out the facts, and
in order to obtain them, promising to
protect sources.
The case for law and order seems to
be based on the concept that society
needs informers. IRS, F B I, who else?
In some countries this is carried to the
point where a guy would turn in his
own grandmother. I suspect that the
forces of law and order are so powerful
that they have little need for the confes­
sions of Annette Buchanan. It is hard to
ril
believe that the police could not io fik.w ,.>
trate the college campus— in fact, w jtlu .jg
a little bit of work they could probably
put the whole country in jail ( I know of
a case that happened this past weekend
I was driving down to the shore and a
ja
desperado driving a motorcycle threw a
beer can over his shoulder-—this is a
$300 dollar fine— what's my cut if I
turn him in?)
•q
Objectively, A n n e t t e
Buchanan
served little purpose. Articles about
marijuana and other dopes have ap­
peared in papers all over the country.
Everybody’s taking pills. W e’ve really
gone to hell. Why the district attorney
decided that he’d make an issue over a
matter of principle is hard to see— but
maybe he didn't have anything else to
do. From some of the questions he
asked Miss Buchanan, wc wonder if he
knows what marijuana is. He wanted to
know if Miss Buchanan used mariju­
ana (now, really); whether the law was
proper; whether her story had benefited
the public; whether she wanted to be a
hero and go to jail; and how she spelled
her middle name.
Instead of working over Miss Bu­
chanan, the police could have checked
out University of Oregon students. In
this manner, they might have jailed all
the marijuana smokers ( I smoke Luck­
ies). The point being, let’s leave enough
room in the interpretation of the law,
that a citizen can retain his dignity and
not be humiliated by the massive power
of the law. Any decent police system
should be able to collect evidence with
the right leads— there should be cheers
for the press, for spotlighting danger
areas.— git
T h e individual’ s right to
f a ir play versus society’ s
right to maintain law and or­
d e r has been brought I n t o
sharp focus by a recent Su­
prem e Court decision. News­
week magazine states In .
feature a rtic le that the CovkV«
ru lin g , ’ ’. . . Imposed sharp
new lim its an the police power
to question suspects— a power
lawmen claim Is vital to con­
victions In fo u r out of five
c rim in a l c a s e s . " T h e new
rules provide, among other
things, that a fte r a r r e « po­
lic e may not question a sus­
pect until they have told him
that he has a rig ht to rem ain
silent, that what he says may
be held against him and that
he Is entitled to have his law­
y e r with him In the In te rro g a­
tion room . It Is almost certain
that according to ethical prac­
tice and “ good professional
Judgment" the law yers w ill
advise th eir clients not to an­
sw er. I t appears to many law
enforcement o fficers, and with
some justification, that under
these conditions It w ill be a l­
most Impossible to ev er get
a confession.
Chief Justice E a r l W arren,
expressing fo r the Court the
b itte rly contested five to four
m a jo rity opinion, states that,
• • • • T h e . . . practice of
Incommunicado Interrogation
Is at odds with one of our na­
tion's m o « cherished princi­
ples— that the Individual may
not be compelled to In c rim i­
nate h im s e lf." In his dissent­
ing opinion. Justice Harlan
stated that, “ T h is doctrine
. . .has no sanction, no sanc­
tion. , .It’ s obviously going to
mean a gradual disappearance
of confessions as a legitim ate
tool of law enforcem ent.” Ab-
though, In general, law en ­
forcem ent agencies across the
country w e r e apprehensive
and c ritic a l of the Court’ s de­
cision, opinions are sharply
divided even amoung nolle«
officers and th e ir c lo s e «
allie s, prosecuting attorneys.
Despite the Supreme Court's
legal rh eto ric and the debate
which follows It , certain facts
stand out. T h e rights of the
accused have been fu rth er
protected, tu t the problems
of law enforcement have been
vastly Increased. T h is comes

way.
But, as Newsweek observes,
we are In a tim e of transition.
T h e re ts developing a new ap­
proach, a renaissance In law
enforcement procedures. Law
enforcement has become a
of m a jo r study fo r

tropic and government
research agencies. T h e Ford
Foundation alone, " , . .has
poured m ore than $5 m illion

do the manual labor: directing
t r a f f i c , Investigating acci­

handling narcotics problem s,
alcoholics and homosexuals.
However, In the light of such
developments as the Supreme
Court’ s present ru lin g , some
authorities feel that we may
be moving too fast. Such laws

applicable until o ur society
has evolved to a little higher
level than It has yet reached.

destroyed the effectiveness of
law enforcement?*’ T h is Is a
question that concerns every
