DON FABER SHOULD SUCCEED BRANCHFIELD
Jackson County could do no better than send Don Faber to Sa
lem to take the place of Ed Branchfield in the legislature.
Among those available for the position since the resignation of
Branchfield, Don Faber is perhaps the most knowledgeable per
son in the affairs of Jackson County, its needs and interests in
the state and as they relate to the state.
Don Faber has always been an able man, but time was when
his impetuosity outstripped his ability. But the development he
has made in the four years he has been county commissioner has
been good to see. Faced with county problems, he has learned
to turn his impetuousness into good hard work and investigation
before judgment is made. When Don delves into a problem to
day there is nothing half-hearted about it—it is whole hog or
none. He wants to find out what is best for the people he is
working for.
Don's theory of representative government is American to the
core. As a commissioner, he has not been concerned about what
he could get for him self out of the office, but what he could ac
complish in the interest of the people who elected him. He
knows that our econom ic system and our form of government can
and has and w ill work together for the good of all concerned if
proper effort is made, and he is willing to make that effort. He
knows that good things— progress and development—don't come
for free. So he looks for quality results at the fairest price.
For our money, we had rather have a representative like that
in our state legislature than to have the smooth schemer type
who is constantly looking for a technical loophole through which
he can pull in a bigger haul than his neighbor is able to get.
We trust that the members of the Republican County Commit
tee w ill give due and fair consideration to Don Faber's claim for
the state representative job. If they w ill, we are sure they will
make him number one on their slate of recommendations to the
county court. Nor could the Court find a man who w ill put more
honest effort and competent dedication into the job.
CpULD BE HATFIELD HAS A LITTLE RESTRAINT
J ’ Oregon's finie-fe'athered budget planners are somewhat disap^
jjointed over the budget submitted by outgoing Gov. Hatfield,
te e m s that Hatfield has at least some sinful sympathy for Oregon
taxpayers, and we can assure him that his fiscal suggestions are
appreciated by at least some of us plain folks scattered over the
state.
In the budget he submitted last week for consideration by the
coming legislature and administration, his reconmendations for
school money at all levels are far short of the "new distribution
formula” worked out and proposed by the lead huskies who are
pulling the state's educational sleds. Doctors Mine a r and Llew
elyn and their coterie of educational mathematics manipulators
have figured out that unless we crash construct about 77 new
half-m illion dollar stone-faced buildings from Brookings to En
terprise in the next three years, our little ones arc going to grow
up unable to sign their names with anything but an X.
It's so sad to find this out. But maybe since Hatfield is going
to move his kids to Washington, D .C ., he thinks that with only
25 of the new buildings the commonplace people of Oregon can
at least teach our kids how to perform the socially correct mo
tion^ necessary for daily teeth brushings. We gotta maintain our
culture, yu know. Hatfield thinks that we could get by on an
increase of about $20 million for the Basic School Support Fund
over the next biennium. The State Boatd wants $70 m illion.
When our noble educators socialize their feet under the plan
ning table, turning their minds to our ignorant little people,
their w ild-eyed compassion prompts pencilpushing the likes of
which you can hardly imagine. And when the columns are toted
up, look what a symmetrical mountain of paltry 40c dollars must
be raised by tomorrow at sunrise if we are to turn out high school
graduates twelve years from now with enough intelligence to
give the properly recognized ziparoo to the frug or whatever
counterpart of it may be in the vogue of conformity at that tim e.
How on earth the Am eiican people ever got as far along the
road to civilization as we are, is becoming more and more a
mystery to us. Now we learn that the projected developments
for the next 25 years must be rounded out and paid for by tomor
row midnight, or Genghis Khan w ill overtake and rob us of all
our pride and joy. And anyone who doesn't believe and agree
with the program is against education. A few years back we
were squares. Don't know what appellation the young set would
apply to us this morning, but admittedly we get so fired up at
some of these progressive goings-on that ft would hardly be ap
propriate to say that we are "cool".
At any rate, you taxsuckers better simplify th» gouge button
on your tax pockets for the next biennium.
FLEMMING AND THE N .C .C ,
By the time this gets into print, the State of Oregon w ill prob
ably gain the dubious distinction of have one of its citizens
named head of the National Council of Churches. The word
dubious is used deliberately and admittedly could have various
meanings. You may feel at liberty to put your own interpreta
tion upon it.
At least one «'♦he things we do mean by our use of the word
dubious is with reference to the philosophies of the Oregon man
who w ill head the NCC, Dr. Arthur S. Flemming, President of
the University of Oregon. Dr. Flemming has been quite active
in the NCC as a member of its General Board. The NCC's name
formerly included "of Christ", since it is presumed to represent
some forty leading Protestant Christian church denominations.
One of Dr. Flemming's philosophies, as promulgated by him
into resolutions on the part of the NCC, is recognition and "play«

China is Communist, although a little research could show that
he was among those who, in the late forties, assured us (uncon
vincingly) that the Reds were merely an agrarian movement,
much more important to China than Chiang Kai-shek's Christian«
oriented effort at stabilization. Indeed, communism seems to
have a rather favored entree in the liberal philosophy of Dr.
Flemming and his fellows. He has never displayed other than a
welcome mat to such men as Cus Hall, chief American Commun
1st, when they cam e to address the campus of our university.
Here is a man at the head of a great organization which pre
sumes to so believe in the authority and reality of Christ that it
calls itself Christian. Yet they play up to and seek closer com
munion and cooperation with the advancement of Communism,
whose declared basic tenet is denial of Christian principles and
enmity for Christianity's Christ. Christian Americanism believes
that right and wrong, freedom and servile’degredation, are as
opposite as white and black can be. But atheistic Communism
teaches that murder and rapine and the mailed fist are perfectly

right and proper if they are used for the advancement of despotic
socialism. Karl Marx declared such doctrine and it is diabolical
ly sacred to the Kremlin and Mao Tse-tung to this day, all soft
talk to the contrary notwithstanding.
Through such a philosophy the young people of our state are
being taught that Christian principles are no better than Com
munist tenets, that right and wrong are relative matters. The
NCC has led in kicking Cod out of American education. We
will not be surprised if we are once more labeled "extremist" be«
cause we take no pride in the fact that the head of the NCC is
also head of our State's foremost educational institution.
By way of information, Dr. Flemming has had great collabor
ation in our good state the past week as his fellow brotherly phil
osopher, Nobel Prize Winning Dr. Linus Pauling dished out some
of the same line of sophisticated rot to students of Oregon State
University in Corvallis. Says he believes in the free enterprise
system, BUT wants our wealth distributed on some basis other
than earning— matter of right, you know. Also says the U. S. is
waB*ng "an illegal, savage war" in Vietnam.
We do hope that Doctors Flemming and Pauling heard what we
heard the other evening over TV. Anita Bryant sang "THIS IS
MY COUNTRY"—oh, so delightfully. It had been quite some
time since such a staccato of electric impulses had run up and
down our spine, while our pumper beat a hastened rhythm. We
Just wonder if the great Doctors are too elevated for that kind of
"lowbrow" thrill to affect them any more. Anyhow, we are glad
