Our Chance to Learn The county-wide taxpayer's meeting next Tues day should be an opportunity that most taxpayers will jump at the chance to find out just "what goes" with all the money they pay into the county tax collector each year. The meeting, probably only the second of its kind ever held in the state, is planned by the county court to be a fact-finding session for the general public. All phases of county, city, school, and special taxes will be discussed by competent authorities from each field, and there will proba bly be some talk about state tax problems as they relate directly to the local taxpayer. It isn't plan ned as any "lets get off the hook" idea by the court to try to justify its expenditures in recent years, bee, ''.use if the taxpayers of the county just st op and think back for a second, practically every lax they are now paying is a tax they them selves voted in by popular majority. ' The idea is to show the people who are paying the bills, just where their money goes and what they arc getting for it in schools, city government, city streets, county roads, weed control and all the many other duties tax levying bodies must per form. In other words, the purpose is better educa tion in taxes. We think the county court is to be commended upon its idea of holding the meeting and it is our hope that a goodly mtmber of the county's citizens will conic to learn, and to ask questions. Governor Patterson's presence at 10 o'clock to open the meeting should be an additional drawing card. REPUBLICAN POUCIES SET The first political policy-forming action for the forthcoming campaign was taken Saturday in Medford at the 20th annual con vention of Oregon Republican (Tubs.

Guy Gordon left his audi ence frustrated when he spoke for half an hour without announcing that he would be a candidate to succeed himself (that's what they wanted lo hear) nor did he say that he would not run (as he recently intimated). Some of the delegates commented that he had left the impression that lie wanted to await reports on poli tical polls now being made to ascertain the popularity and the political following of Sen. Rich ard Neubcrger. That is some thing the Neubcrger followers also would like to know. of said, "Oregon merely wants peo ple it can believe in. When the democrats can offer that kind of candidates they will get repre sentation."'
