For there isn't a proposition before the people which couldn't

damage done.
: However, as usual there are proposals whichThe Mall Trib
une favors and opposes, and we are so. recommending:

financial resources, taking an active part in public life, particu
larly in the administration of their state government, as members
of the Legislature. :-1.,--.vv?;,- :':;'.
No. 2: SUBDIVIDING COUNTIES FOR ELECTING STATE
LEGISLATURE. This is merely permissive. It allows Multnomah
County, for example, to have its delegation in Salem representative
of all sections of the county instead of mostly Portland, which
would be a desirable change.. There would probably be no dis
nosition In Jackson County to take similar action, but If there
were, the same could be accomplished Only by special legislation.
Vote yes. - ' ... V
No.V3: MENTAL HOSPITAL
The people voted for such a
the Legislature disregarded it,- presumably in part because it
would not be located in Salem, but more important, only elderly
DeoDle would be admitted. The' need is so great for BOTH old
and young, the desirability of its
state so apparent, that it is to be
be carried out this time. Vote yes. ; .
V.No. 4: HOW CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS MAY BE
PROPOSED BY THE PEOPLE.. This merely changes the percent
age required on an initiative petition from 8 to 10 per cent. It
should be noted this restricts the OFFERING of an amendment
to the people only, it would then be up to a vote of the people
whether or not they would give their ok to such a constitutional
change. This department believes there should be no increased
restrictions on dffering any amendments 8 per cent of the voters
should desire. More important is proper discrimination and wis
dom of the voters, U) vote down any proposal that may not by
right belong in our fundamental law. This measure would con
tribute nothing in this direction.
No. 5: STATE PROPERTY TAX
stltutlonal amendment, replaces
6-mill limitation, except of course as to the interest charges on
the state debt, and also unless a greater amount is sanctioned by
vote of the people. This Is a very complicated subject, and the
entire question, in this paper's view, should be decided by a
committee of competent tax experts, and then acted upon by the
state legislature subject only to a popular reterendum, if one
should be desired. However here Is the proposal and the people
must decide. On the general proposition of "when in doubt vote
"no" that is our recommendation so it's "No."
No. 8: DAYLIGHT SAVING. The Mall Tribune fought local op
tion on daylight saving, because it made such a mess. The im
portant point, as stated 'then, was to have a system that was
uniform throughout the state instead of a hodge-podge with Med
ford on one time and Central Point on another, or vice versa.
The change was made and the people voted for standard time.
Now there is a demand to change to daylight saving because
both California and Washington have it, and some confusion and
inconvenience result. Well as far as this paper is concerned we
believe the people should decide which they want and we will
ingly leave the decision to. them without recommendation one
way or the other. As long as the state has one type of time for
all, the Mail Tribune will have no serious complaint, whether it
saves daylight or doesn't
No. 7: PROHIBITING; CERTAIN FISHING IN COASTAL
STREAMS:
Men may come and men may go, but fish-bills go on for
evar. And milk bills promise to follow the same endless trail,
judging by this year's ballot. As to the fish bill there is unfor
tunately no supreme court, no final authority. There are as many
convincing arguments to the average layman AGAINST this meas
ure as FOR it. Incidentally this will not affect Rogue River as it
has already been closed to commercial fishing. But if this action
has helped trout fishing In the Rogue' as many local sportsmen
claim, then we see no reason why rivers to the north should not
be similarly benefited. This much is certain, good trout and
salmon fishing via rod and line is of far greater benefit to the
state in the direction of a profitable tourist crop than the com
paratively small amount of commercial fishing now in operation.
No one can blame the commercial fishing industry for opposing
the measure but in this as in everything else what is best for the
GREATEST number should prevail. The Mall Tribune recom
mends "Yes." , !
No. 8: HERE IS THE MILK-CONTROL BILL AGAIN'
This effort to repeal the present law and its controls has been
tried 3 times and failed. Like the fish bill there are strong argu
ments on both sides, and the Mail Tribune once in the past, favored
a repeal principally on the ground a better control measure might
be devised to replace it. But there is another factor. We think
under the Oregon system when the electorate has taken a strong
negative action on ANY proposal over a long period, that there
should be at least a decent breathing spell instead of having the
same measure come up at the next election and every one there
after. Let's have such a breathing spell on milk controls. The
only way to get it is to keep our present system as it is, and
leaving the matter of improvements up to the next Legislature.
We recommend voting "No."
Referred to People of Jeckson County
No. 9: AN ACT FOR A JUVENILE HOME:
The demand for such a home is locally widespread and
strong, on the theory that it will decrease luvcnlle delinquency
In this county, which is increasing so alarmingly and not only here
but throughout the county. The Mall Tribune doubts If it will
be as effective as the proponents think, and it Is also doubtful if
the funds provided will prove adequate. However the practice of
throwing Juveniles into tail with other criminals is undesirable
also. So on the ground that any step in the direction of solving
or reducing the dangers of juvenile delinquency is all to the gdBd
and also the fact that the cost will be slight, considering Jackson
County's financial position, we favor support for the oronoaal.
Vote yes.
No. 10. THE DOG BILL. Finally there Is a oronoaal to n'rn.
hibit dogs from running at largp

rabid dog-lover would not favor

However according to the
measure at drawn would prohibit
Street to visit a neighbor or appear down town without being held
in leash AND wearing a-muzzle. One of the great advantaies in I
living in the country or a country town as contrasted with a large
city, is that une can not only have a dog but the dog can lead
something like a natural and happy life, with at least some out
door freedom. ,
So bur recommendation Is "no" on this, not because we want
any dogs to run at large, but because we think the restrictions
Imposed are far too extreme, and If the measure passed probably
it would never be enforced. It's just another example of half
baked legislation and should not be passed. Vote No R.W.R.

Stewart Alsop tions they said
about the same thing. At the
moment, Democratic. Governor
G. Mermen Williams looks like
winning by a fairly comfortable
margin. But there should be
enough ticket-splitting for the
Republican Ferguson to squeeze
by. ,. - . ; -
The whole picture could
change before election day, of
course, as most of the polled
editors warned. But. what is in
teresting about the above con
sensus is how much the picture
has changed already.
. Early this summer, the popu
lar Blair Moody, backed for the
Democratic - senatorial ' nomina
tion by both the C.I.O. and Gov.
Wniiams, died. Patrick McNa
mara, backed by the A. FX., be
came the Democratic senatorial
candidate by default. At the
time, it was being said both
here ," and in Washington that
Ferguson .'was a cinch to beat
McNamara, the accidental can
didate. After all, Ferguson seemed
to have as he still seems to
have every conceivable advan
tage. He is an able man, a 'good
cumpaigner, with a solid con
servative record, plenty of funds,
and the support of just about
every newspaper in the state.
As a former Taft man, he has
few enemies among the Taft Re
publicans. At the same time, he
has endeared himself to the Eis
enhower Republicans by success
fully performing the difficult
transition from opposition to ad
ministration leader.
. Ferguson is running in a state
so Republican-minded that it has
sent only two Democrats to the
Senate since the turn of the century-
finally, he has not only
the natural advantages of an
Incumbent. He also has tho im
mense advantage of being one
of the leading movers and shak
ers of the nation, a man who
goes to the White House every
week to advise the President on
matters of national policy. .
: : e a
4LL In all, despite Secretary
Wilson's famous foot -in -mouth
remark, which certainly
has not helped, Ferguson should
be coasting confidently home.
Yet, to judge from the super
human efforts he is putting into
this campaign, Homer Ferguson
is running downright terrified.
Why? V
The answer does not lie with
Mr. McNamara. Before he got
the nomination, McNamara was
wholly unknown outside Detroit.
In Detroit, he was principally
known for having reportedly
described his fellow members
of Detroit's Common Council as
"a bunch of jerks." Even today,
McNamara remains a faceless
candidate to the great majority
of Michigan voters.
In private, McNamara, a tall
white-haired man, is a most like
able fellow, brimming over with
good-natured Irish humor. (A
hapless waitress dumped a plate
of eggs in his lap", and he instant
ly asked, "Now I know 'she's
a Republican, but how did she
know I was a Democrat?") But
as a campaigner, McNamara
freezes into a halting solemnity
on the platform, and he goes
through the required gladhand
ing routine with an embarrassing
embarrassment. McNamara Is, in
fact, the only politician this re
porter has met who frankly" ad
mits that he hates campaigning.
It is no secret, moreover, that
both Gov. Williams and the
C.I.O. had to swallow hard to
take McNamara as a candidate.
McNamara himself says now that
Williams and the C.I.O. are going
all-out for him. But their hearts
are not really in it. What, then,
has Homer Ferguson got to wor
ry about?
The answer lies in a 'parcel
of statistics. Everywhere you go
in this state you hear variations
on the same statistical themes.
Close to 300,000 unemployed in
the state. Milk prices down 30
per cent or more. SmaU business
bankruptcies abnormally high.
And so on,
This economic picture Is curi
ously spotted. At least , two of
the editors polled by this re
porter said that things had never
been better In their areas. More
over, here in Detroit, things are

TPHE political picture is spotty.
One shrewd editor remarked
that the Democrats were indulg
ing in wishful thinkingthat the
Michigan political pettern,' twist
ed out of shape in 1952, is simply
returning to normal. Yet there
is no doubt that the Republi
cans are scared, and that they
are scared, not by the genial
Mr. McNamara, but by such sta
tistical facts as those cited above.
Moreover, as the campaign
reaches its climax it becomes
increasingly obvious that the Re
publicans have not even yet de
cided how to deal with this prob
lem. They waiver .between the
claim that the economic troubles
are a mirage conjured up by the
Democrats, and the conflicting
and - oddly Marxist claim that
the country prospers only during
Democratic-inspired wars.
, As far as one can judge, the
independent voters who will, as
always, decide the election are
not for. the most part really re
sentful about the current rela
tively mild economic downturn.
But they are apprehensive about
the future. They want to be told
in really convincing terms that
the Eisenhower Administration,
come what may, is absolutely de
termined to prevent any repeti
tion of the thirties. So far, the
administration has failed o con
vince the voters that this deter
mination exists. It may prove a
costly failure.

Jenkins Charge
In Mail Tribune
Declared False
To the Editor: Your Jenkins
column of October 15th charges
me with voting against passage
of the bill, which passed the Ore
gon Legislature in 1951, to pre
vent diversion of Klamath River
waters.
This charge is a complete false
hood! .
House Bill 661 (the bill for
bidding diversion of the Klam
ath River) came twice to votes
on passage -in tne Senate. The
first time it passed the Senate
by a vote of 25 to 1, and you
will find Richard L. Neuberger
among the 25 Senators who voted
FOR the bill. (Official Senate
Journal, 1951 Legislature, page
249),
After the House had agreed to
the Senate amendments, HB 661
came before the Senate again for
repassage. It passed the Senate
29 to 0. Once again, you will find
that Senator Richard L. Neuber
ger voted FOR the blU. (Official
Senate Journal, 1951, page 284).
In other words, I voted on both
occasions for passage of a bill
which Jenkins has falsely ac
cused me of voting against. Why
did Jenkins not consult the Of
ficial Journal of the Senate in
stead of accepting blindly, this
Cordon-circulated lie against me?
Why did he print in his column
that I voted against passage of
HB 661, when the Official Jour
nal of the Senate makes it per
fectly evident, as a matter of pub
lic record, that I voted FOR
passage of this bill both times?
Furthermore, when this bill
originally came before the Sen
ate, I suggested certain necessary
revisions to make the bill consti
tutional. Although my minority
repoit was rejected, the Senate
by a decisive majority (on motion
of ex-Senate President William
E. Walsh) sent the bill to the
Committee on Law, where the
changes suggested by me were
made by a committee consisting
solely of Republicans. (Official
Senate Journal, pages 198 and
234). These changes were essen
tial to keep HB 661 from being
declared unconstitutional.
Yet Jenkins charges me with
voting against passage of HB
661! Why did he fail to get the
true facts from the public record
before he made this false accusa
tion? Richard L. Neuberger,
. Oregon State Senator,
Portland, Ore.

WOn't
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS '
Just ior a change, let's talk
about war today. Modern War,
and the strangeness of it when
it is contrasted with ancient war.
(These thoughts are suggested
by the ruckus we're now cm
broiled in with the South Ko
reans, whom we saved from com
munism in a war that coat us
much blood and treasure. Since
the war was fought on their soil,
the South Koreans think we
ought to make good all the dam
age that was done in the fight
ing.) .
1ITELL, maybe we should. :
Let's take a look at our
war with Japan. Japan started it,
with a sneak attack on Pearl
Harbor. We fought the Japanese
all over the Pacific, and eventu
ally whipped them completely.
Now we're engaged in the pro
cess of rehabilitating Japan.
Since the war in which we de
feated her eventually came to in
clude nearly all of Asia, which
was Japan's trade territory,
we're trying to keep alive in
Asia some sort of situation in
which Japan can go on trading
with enough of Asia to keep her
alive.
To do that, we may even have
to go to war again.
(CONSIDERING all this, I sup
' pose one can hardly blame
the South Koreans for feeling
that since we fought the Korean
war against THEIR enemies, on
THEIR soU, to keep THEM from
being ground under the iron
heel of Communism we ought to
turn in and pay them for all
the damage that was done to
their country by the fighting on
their soil to save them from
Communist slavery.
TT MUST be remembered that
A ' we fought the Japanese on a
lot of South Pacific islands
which the Japs had grabbed. On
these islands there were palm
trees. Palm trees produce coco
nuts, coconuts are an economic
resource. In the course of the
fighting, we destroyed a lot of
palm trees. We PAID for them
at so much per tree.
So why shouldn't we pay for
what we destroyed in the Ko
rean fighting?
TAKE a look at Germany. We
whipped the Germans. In do
ing so, we saved Western Europe
from Hitler's despotism.
Having saved Western Europe
from Hitler's despotism, w e
turned in and rebuilt Western
Europe after it had been de
stroyed in the fighting in which
we joined to save Western
Europe's liberty.
We went ahead and helped to
rebuild Germany while we were
at it - r
"AN you blame the South Ko-
reans for feeling that after
we went ahead and spent our
blood and our treasure to save
them from their enemies, the
Communists, we shtfuld now re
store all the damage we did to
their country in the course of
the fighting and thus leave them
economically better off than they
were before the fighting began?
Everything considered, I think
they have a perfectly good argu
ment for wanting us to do what
they want us to do. Their argu
ment is that we've done it for
everybody else and so we ought
to d6 it for them. If we don't, it
will amount to discrimination
against them.
QNE other thought We came
" out of -the war with a stag
gering war debt. But, since the
Germans were defeated, they
came out without any war debt
Because the Japanese were de
feated they came out without
any war debt. Because we have
poured out countless billions in
foreign aid, our friends in West
ern Europe have,, been saved
from ADDING heavily to their
war debt, as they would have
had to it we had not come to
their assistance.

Timber Exploitation
To the Editor: In the 1910-20s
the U. S. Forest Service started
some selective cutting of timber
on a sustained yield basis. Pri
vate industry protested that It
was interfering with private
profits.
Worse waste and destruction
could scarcely have been done
by enemy armies than was done
by private operators to tne tor
esls. Finally, in Dec., 1939, a
Congressional Inquiry Commit
tee asked the West Coast Lum
ber Assn. Secy-Mgr., why such
destruction and liquidation. He
said: "Because the owners of
that timber have no faith that
it will be worth anything 20
years from now. And being busi
nessmen they have no other
course but to cut it and get it
off their hands before it deterio
rates any more."' " '
193040s, private Industries pro
tested that the U.S.F.S. must
cut more timber to help supply
demand. (But the real reason
was to get the National Forests
depleted so private industry
could the sooner control pro
duction, prices and labor.) .
1945 a U.S.F.S., also an in
dustries forest survey appraisal,
showed a cut of 54 million board
feet of timber. The F. S. report
showed 75 million acres need
reforesting. (Area of , Oregon
about 61 million acres.) It show
ed a decline of 44 of forest
timber since 1909, and national
forest cut doubled since 1940.
Industries report showed the
forest cut must be reduced from
54 billion to 44 billion bd. ft
per year for 10 years to allow
forests to recuperate. The Tilla
mook burn took 12 billion, and
when the Oregon Grange pre
sented a bill to Gov. Snell by
which 25 cents per thousand bd.
ft cut for two years would be
used to reseed the burn the
Oregon legislature strangled the
bill, and instead put a bond on
all of Oregon to pay the costs.
1946 In July a lumbermen
committee at Higgins Lake,
Mich., resolved that public for
ests should be under state cus
tody as so much easier for pri
vate operators to get acres, plant
to forest trees and tend till big
enough to cut. Then what? Turn
over to private exploiters!
1946, Oct. 9, 10, 11; Chief For
ester Lyle Watts addressed the
American Forest Congress, at
which he tore to pieces the well-
laid-plans of the Higgins Lake
Committee, spanked some mem
bers soundly; said "We are in
