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.

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-

"On the Placa"
Then, the Republicans of the
House called a m eeting of the
Policy Com m ittee (this meeting
has been heralded as a secret
meeting but there certainly was
nothing secretive about it except
that Democrats and the public
were not Invited—we hold sim ilar
Policy Com m ittee m eetings on all
im portant bills). 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

necessary. The position and pol

House has been clear, straight-for

SPRING FEVER

. . . BETTER late than never, and this week spring
fever inflicted a large part of the population of the
city. Give it time, it will pass. There is no inoculation
which can be used for relief, nor prevention. Spring
fever is recurrent, and particularly afflicts young
males, age 11 to 15, who fear that they might be caught
