Jackson county with nine identified cases of
polio last year should be more conscious than most
of the imperative need tor tunds to support tne war
on infantile paralysis and to assist in providing med
ical care for those stricken. - .
THE year just passed was one of the worst in the
country's history in the matter of polio incidence.
The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis dis
tributed nearly $31,000,000 for patient care alone.
This sum exceeded the total contributed in the 1949
March of Dimes and the effects of the epidemic will
carry over into this year. Estimates are that fully
17.000 of the victims will require continuing help
from the Foundation chapters. These cases will, of
course, be in addition to such new cases as may occur
in the current year.
THE epidemic last year wiped out the treasuries of
Molinniil TPnnnrloUnn pVianfova in 43 stntpa nnrl
this forced the national headquarters to come to the
rescue with funds for emergency aid. At the peak' of
the epidemic funds were being poured into stricken
areas at the rate of $100,000 a day.
a e a a e
MONEY, major ammunition in the war on polio,
comes almost solely from March of Dimes ac
tivities in the various communities throughout the
country. This year people in general are thoroughly
awake to the vital need for heavy contributions. Let
the dimes and dollars shower down until depleted
treasuries are filled again, there is also plenty to as-

Bankers Asked To

Chicago, Jan. 26 (U.B Ore
gon Banker E. C. Sammons of
Portland yesterday asked the
heads of the nations 15,000
banks to "alert the populace to
the dangers of increasing gov
ernment spending."
Sammons, president of 'the
United States National bank of
Portland, said "We as bankers
should accept our undeniable re
sponsibility and take our proper
part in forming and guiding pub
lic opinion." He called deficit
spending during prosperous
times "a dangerqus trend."
In an address at the second na
tional credit conference of the
American Bunkers association.
Sammons snid many people be
lieve that "the government can
'spend itself rich.' This thought
has reached dangerous propor
tions and I believe bankers mint
do somchting about It."

"I The nation will be in for an unprecedented in
crease in consumer deception if congress removes
federal regulations on oleomargarine colored yellow
in imitation of butter, in the opinion of Oregon's Sen
ator Wayne Morse.
The senator pointed out in a recent speech in the
upper chamber that the state of Arkansas has on its
statute books certain protective measures designed to
prevent fraudulent serving of yellow oleo as butter in
public eating places. The Arkansas regulations pro
vide that each individual serving of oleomargarine
in a public eating place must be clearly identified
as such, either by identifying the pat of oleo itself,
or by marking the plate on which it is brought to the
table.
CENATOR Morse told the senate that an impartial
fact-finding agency retained, to visit restaurants
in Aritansas mis spring maae a siatiung discovery.
The investigators called on 100 Arkansas restaurants
scattered throughout the state and in not a single one
so visited was there a sign of any kind on walls,
menus or butter plates to indicate that oleo was being
served. .
Here's the navoff : In every Arkansas restaurant
thus visited, the investigator asked for butter, and
paid for butter.
Laboratory tests of samples collected by tne in
vestigators disclosed that in 66 out of 100 of the
restaurants, the spread served was yellow oleomar
garine and not butter, h.v.i . ,
William Wesley Truax
The constantly shifting political sands at home
and abroad, the rise and fall of leaders, these present
a most engrossing drama for anyone that cares to
read, to study and analyze. Such a one was William
Wesley Truax who passed away at his home here a
few days ago at the ripe age of 94.
e e
A LWAYS an omnivorous reader, an interested ob
" server, and a keen thinker, Mr. Truax retained
these qualities almost to his last days. His many early
activities included school teaching, holding of various
public offices in Michigan, serving as a political party
organizer, and even an excursion into the rough and
tumble of earlier day logging in that state.
American politics, during Mr. Trim's youth had
reached one of its all-time lows, with bribery, corrup
tion, special privilege and all-around rottenness the
order of the day. Because of his deep interest in gov
ernment, he resolved to do what he could to help
change this situation and to this end he joined in the
work of organizing the Patrons of Industry, a "peo
ple's party."
A LONG with his work as an organizer, he wrote
articles for the Detroit Free Press and for Col
lier's magazine, and it is probable that his experience
in that period helped to retain his interest in and to
sharpen his pen for the free lance writing on political
subjects which he carried on throughout the balance
of his life.
Coming to the Rogue vallev in 1907. Mr. Truax
wrote frequently for the Mail tribune, his letters on
interests oi tne nay appearing in the communica
tions department up to within a few months ago.

merchant, has entered the pri
mary field to contest with Sen
ator Wayne L. Morse for the
Republican nomination for
United States Senator for Ore
gon. At this stage Mr. Robin
sons chances are an unknown
quantity but there may be
considerable swell in his favor
for, it cannot be ignored there
has been a strong undercurrent
hope in many places some one
would make tne venture.
Mr. Robinson's reason for run
ning, after waiting for weeks for
someone to appear in the lists,
is without hedging. He says he
considers Senator Morse a be
trayer" of the Republican party
and that on almost every issue
of importance Senator Morse
voted opposite Senator Cordon.
Oregon's two senators might as
well have gone fishing he thinks
so far as representing the state
on fundamental decisions in the
Senate are concerned. That argu
ment will appeal to many. In his
statement Mr. Robinson said:
"I consider my opponent a be
trayer of his party and of the
people of our state, with the
trust we have placed in him; by.
his voting record in the senate
for the past five years by voting
against the rest of our delega
tion on almost every important
issue that has come before the
senate."
Mr. Robinson is 35 years old,
Is a registered Republican, al
though at one time he was a
Democrat. He is a member of the
Young Republican organization;
is against "deficit spending" and
thus far non-committal on the
CVA. He is not a veteran, hav
ing lost a leg in a farm accident
when 19 years old.
Except for the fact he is suc
cessful in business, and has had
experience in accounting and the
proper handling of money, two
high grade qualifications, he is
pretty much unknown in the
state al large. But the chances
are he will find his courage, re
warded with some ready support,
for where there is opposition to
Mr. Morse it is pretty bitter.
Oregon City Enterprise.
County Folk Should
Feel Proud
Current agitation in Jackson
county over the lack of an annual
county fair since 1932 empha
sizes how fortunate we of the
less populated neighbor county
are in being able to maintain a
healthy community event of that
type.
Not only does Josephine coun
ty have a creditable annual
county fair, but last year it ac
tually paid its own way.
A county fair, in our opinion,
should be the major community
enterprise each year in any coun
ty. Its benefits are manifold and
It is essential for providing the
versy in Jackson county by ask
ing mat county fairs be resumed.
The secretary of the fair board
replies that fairs will be held
whenever there is sufficient
popular support.
Many of the smaller counties
of the state have tried to main
tain county fairs and have failed.
tven in this county, it was a
touch-and-go proposition only a
couple of years ago.
We have a healthy fair pro
gram in tnis county now because
the problem is being faced by
public-spirited men who serve on
the fair board and because there
are hundreds of citizens who
individually or through organ
ized effort lend a helping hand.
In that respect, much credit
must go to the 4-H and FFA
youths, the Sheriff's Posse, the
Granges, the dairymen and the
businessmen of Josephine county.
We in Josephine county are
proud of the fact that we arc
capable of supporting a credit
able county fair each year, a no
small task, as indicated by the
number of such ventures which
have fallen by the wayside
throughout Oregon. F, S. In

McKay Promotes Worthy
Democrat
Years ago the people of Ore
gon made the Judiciary non-part
isan, as it should be. weverthe
less, Governor McKay's selection
of Clackamas county's Circuit
Judge Earl C. Lalourette to suc
ceed Justice E. M. Page on the
Supreme Court of Oregon is a
recognition of a worthy judge
ana democrat by a Republican
governor.
Governor McKay's action is all
the more conspicuous because
Judge Latourette was passed
over recently by President Tru
man for appointment to the fed
eral' bench, despite the fact that
Judge Latourette had a 3 to 1
margin in the recommendations
of the lawyers of Oregon. Presi
dent Truman followed party rec
ommendations; Governor McKay
ignored party consideration. The
contrast m attitudes is quite Im
portant.
Although it Is not prescribed
that the recommendations of the
bar should be binding on judicia
appointments, it has long been
our belief that they should have
special weight. Even in states
where judges must stand for elec
tion and re-election, as in Ore
gon, we believe that the bar
should recommend and that the
voters should give special atten-

Nobody knows the qualifica

may be deceived by a pleasant

It has been our belief for years

which all appointments should
