"'SET N E W S ★ ★ ★ HISTORICAL SOCIETY ......... IN LINE with the Southern Oregon Historical Museum is the need for a stronger Southern Oregon Historical society. A glance across the state line to view the activities of the Siskiyou County Historical society would give the officers and members of the local so ciety some advanced ideas. All of which could be utilized in making a stronger society, and., thus., making a link with the past. . There are many residents of Southern Oregon who would be more than glad to become members of the Historical society if they were only contactd. A good sustained membership drive, and a couple of important projects would make the society look like new. and act as if it were alive.

Notwithstanding the temperature the people who pass through Ashland will long remember the lovely town with the green parking strips along the boule vard and the green islands in the Plaza. towns along Highway 99 he thought Ashland was the A man remarked to us the other day that of all the prettiest. “You know,” this fellow said, “it used to be that Ashland was considered the city of the living dead, but that has certainly changed. I don’t believe there is a more progressive looking community along the entire highway, and certainly not a prettier.” Kind words, from a stranger. We’re glad people think that Ashland is progressive, and pretty. PARADES TUESDAY the students at Southern Oregon col lege put on one of the biggest parades this city has witnessed for some time. For noise, enthusiasm, and cleverness the SOC parade will top the list for some time. It was good, and it brought to mind the fact that year jy year this community becomes more of a college ;own. College students and faculty make up the most mportant single group in this city. The greater the part both students and faculty play in making this iity better, the better it will be. * lowing that, a conference will ac tually w rite the final version. The House debate and the pres sure put on by the labor lobby, and I do mean pressure, has gen erated a great deal of heat a- round Capitol Hill, but not so very much light. Countless angry and often wreckless statem ents have been made— m any of them w ithout even a shade of accuracy. Particularly has the history of the bill and the attitu d e of Republi can m em bers of the House been m isrepresented and distorted. I shall endeavor to give a brief history of the legislation to date. When the session opened, we were faced w ith an overw helm ing opposition m ajority in the House. It was obviously impossible to pat forth any Republican program for some am endm ents to the Taft- Hartley law. It was never claim ed the law was perfect, and, after nearly two years of experience with it, it was recognized that some changes should be made. The chairm an of the House com m ittee, however, introduced a bill for the complete repeal of the law which had the backing of the adm inistration. The only other bill bearing the nam e of a Demo crat was one introduced by Rep- MONUMENTS Marble.

As a m em ber of the Policy Commit: e, I was pres ent. We discussed the Wood bill line by line. The judgm ent of the Policy Com m ittee was th at cer tain am endm ents should be offer ed to make it a better bill. Those am endm ents were discussed with other m em bers of the House. When consideration of the ad m inistration bill began on the floor, the Wood bill, incorporating m any of the Republican approved amendm ents, was offered as a substitute. In addition, a num ber of improving am endm ents were offered on the floor under House procedure, the Wood bill was completed and acted upon first. There has been nothing secret- tive or indefinite regarding the attitude of Republican m em bers of the House, nor has the general attitude of House Republican mem bers regarding labor legisla tion undergone any m aterial change since the T aft-H artley law was changed. We said at that tim e that we were trying to en act legislation completely fair to both labor and m anagem ent. It was not claim ed to be a perfect law. We said then and later, and particularly during the 1948 e l ection campaign, that we thought the basic principles of the law w ere sound and th at we would endeavor to pass such am end m ents as experience proved to be necessary. The position and pol icy of the Republican side of the House has been clear, straight-for w ard and consistent. Every Re- ★ ★ ★ RECREATION . . .
