MAIL TRIBUNE The City Traffic Report Some of the predictions in the Oregon State Highway Department's study of Medford traffic hold rather frightening possibil ities. Medford, the traffic, experts state in the report just delivered to the city, will .grow from the present 20,000 population to 30,000 by 1970, and Jackson county's population will increase from the present 59,510 to 105,900. On the basis of their population expectations and the accompanying increases in volume of traffic including both the strictly local and that flowing through the area from outside points the commis sion engineers foresee the need for considerable change in our present traffic arteries and develop ment of some entirely new add up to the necessity for e e HTHE engineers explain that their findings are based , on the area's past experience in increases in pop ulation and vehicle registration and a reasonable esti mate as to continuation of In 1950, for instance, people living within the city limits owned 9,000 motor pected, 4he number will total around 17,000. In 1950 the number of motor vehicles : owned.', in Jackson county was 30,464; by 1970 the number will exceed 55,000. - v-- -fp: , ;' ' ' That this increase in vehicle ownership will have great effect on the Medford traffic load can be re alized when it is considered that about 40 per cent of the county's population lives in the city area and that since Medford is the retail trade center of the county, it attracts vehicular traffic from throughout the re gion. ,v-,v. . , ,y J7 VEN though the main traffic artery, Highway 99, may be by-passed around the city we aren't going to escape a terrific increase in city flow. The en gineers found, by means of automatic counters, that of the total traffic volume on Highway 99,, north of Medford, only 24 per cent is by-passable. The re maining 76 per cent of the total has a desired destina tion or essential stop within the metropolitan area of Medford. As compared to Highway 99, the other state highway routes Crater Lake highway and the Medford-Frovolt highway routes have a lesser number of by-passable trips. : Reduced to fundamentals, the engineers' report makes it clear that something should be done, and soon, to provide more east-west arteries across the railroad tracks and Bear creek and to cut the Pacific highway bottleneck which' it passes inrougn tne city. THE r,eport goes into detail "as to how to go about 1 improving traffic conditions and what the im provements will cost. It provides a comprehensive blueprint for Medford city officials which should be followed as rapidly as funds can be found for the pur pose. ' ' r I I The longer the delay in the greater the outlay which will eventually be nec essary to untangle the trattic snarl. K.tJ.f '. For a Rainy Day Oregonians must be expecting a hard winter.' At any rate, they have been "putting something aside for a rainy day" at a greater tor some years past. According to figures supplied by the Oregon Sav ings tsona committee, sales state, last month amounted 32 per cent jump over the year.; bales for the first nine 24 per cent more than in the i ' j a (tips' fr increase amounting 10 $o,50U,vuv. ! . e , e e e 1 e ' ' IACKSON county residents have' been keeping up v with the parade to the bond sales windows. So far this year they have salted away $740,596 worth of bonds, $81,264 of the total having been accumulat ed in September alone. What has been going on in Oregon is being dup licated more or less throughout the country, accord ing to the U.S. Department , of Commerce which figures that personal savings in the first half of 1954 added up to iusb under sonally adjusted annual rate. This was the equivalent oi nearly $i out of every $12 of personal spendable income after taxes for the period. Both figures are the highest on record except for some of the World war Ji years when conditions were an abnormal sti mulus to savings. THE PERSONAL savings in mc uiouiaiitc, Jltvuiga urjjusius, U.O. savings Bonds, and the savings and ' loan associations amounts to the equivalent of some $4,500 for every household in the land. The aggregate of these long term savings of individuals is estimated at more than $213,000,000,000, over a fifth greater than at the end of 1950 and more than half again as great as at the end of World War H in 1945. " Equally striking, and in some ways even more significant, is the growth in number of savers. There are now 90,000,000 life insurance policyholders, for example, 7,000,000 more than in 1950 and 19,000, 000 more than at the end of World War II. An esti mated 68,000,000 persons now have savings deposits in commercial and mutual savings banks, 4,000,000 more than in 1950 and 18,500,000 more than in 1945.

First of all it is not and cannot be a city ordi nance and hence Is not enforcl ble by. the city police. v It' appears to be an attempt of some 20 citizens in Medford to apply the State Animal code to the City of Medford. This State Animal Code provides for muz zling dogs that might damage stock in Oregon, and also pro vides for Indemnity to ranchers for the loss of stock by any ani mals, not necessarily dogs. How can you apply this to the City of Medford? If passed,' it means all dogs must be muzzled If they are off their premises arid be in company of their keepers. How ever, it does not say where keep ers must be. Could keepers be on their premises but the dogs anywhere, provided' they could still be seen by their owners? Th3 law is not clear on this. , I assume the above mentioned group of 29 citizens consider some dogs a nuisance and so all dogs must be muzzled, and I suppose it is f6r the purpose of keeping them from digging in a lawn, or garden since this is always the loudest heard com plaint. How is muzzling a dog going to keep him from digging? Some children and all prying neighbors can be and are much greater nuisances. To carry this to its ridiculous conclusion, are we next going to muzzle all children and all neighbors be cause some are nuisances? .' This measure makes it com pulsory to assess a fine of $10 to szs against poor parents of children whose dog happens to be found on the sidewalk doing nothing worse than being with out a muzzle or not on a leash. As stated above, our already burdened city police force can not as a matter of law enforce this county measure. . Mrs. Ernest L. Barnes, Box 447, , Medford, Ore. ... Against Milk Bill To the Editor: I hope the voters will vote the milk con trol law out for the reason that the milk producers committee is telling the public if you vote it out you vote away the sanitation lnw, which is not so.

Courteous Service ' To the Editor: I was very interested in renrllnff .Tames T Pool's communication in your Monday edition. I agree with him that it is high time Oregon had a Democratic senator and a Democratic. congressman from this district Forty years is a long time to be saddled with Republican senators. But 52 years is a longer time. That's how long it has been since Jackson county elected a Democrat to serve as county clerk. The late John Orth, one of Jackson county's most highly respected citizens, was elected county clerk in 1902, 1 am told. Since his term the office has been monopolized by the GOP. The Democrats have a very able and trustworthy candidate this year in Cecil Norris. Let's break the monopoly in the coun ty clerk's office and give ALL the people of the county courte ous service by electing him No vember 2. Max L. Terzenback, Medford Gun Shop, 1517 N. Riverside JOWL BACON 29e, lb. 2 31 EAST I BEEF I Can't Let "Give Away" Go On To the Editor: As wis cam paign nears the closing stretch, there are still several issues on which the Republican candidates have failed to make their posi tion clear. Instead, they are en gaged in a barrage of worn out slogans and scare techniques In a frantic effort to divert the vot ers' minds from the real Issues. Two questions voters have the right to ask are: How do Cordon and Ellsworth stand on the Al Serena "mine" timber give away? Are they in favor of the Dixon-Yates contract? Let's take no chance on them letting more valuable Oregon timber slip away on the mining claim pretext. There Is grave danger to Oregon's economy to this sinister policy. There is also real danger to Oregon economy in the Dixon Yates contract. If this under mining of the great TVA public power project is allowed to con tinue witnout proxesi. uregon s Bonneville may be the next to be sold down the river to private utilities. Timber and public power are important to Oregon, Important to Jackson county. Hnn'i lof thA repetition nf vatfue sayings, borrowed from the past, cause our voters to forget their heritage. This is 1954, a year of decision for Oregonians. Shall we go for ward with progressive men like Neuberger and Porter who are familiar with our resources and dedicated to guarding their po tentialities, or cast our lots with men who seem determined to limit Oregon's future through the giveaway, thus earning for ourselves the blame of future generations? " James T. Higgins, 60 N. Peach, ; Medford, Ore. Ed Note: Ellsworth endorsed the Al Serena timber deal and declared opposition to it was lust another political "gimmick." If Cordon has declared himself on either issue it has escaped our attention. A Farmer Protasis To the Editor: The letter to the editor ot Oct. 24 "As to Farmers vs. Hunters," paints a very black picture indeed of the farmer. Mr. H. D. spoke of the "city dude" buying -produce from the farmer 365 days a year. Ignore the farmer the next 365 days and raise those things yourself. by your own sweat of brow. I'll venture to say that at the end ol those 365 days you will have a different respect for the mean old larmer. You spoke of the farmer not wanting to supply free meals to hunters. I wonder how many free meals do the "city dudes" supply to the farmers, as they come 10' town. - Maybe some day I'll drop in and- pick a free bouquet of flow ers you have cared lor all year. And would you allow some of us mean old farmers to bring our lunch and eat in your front yard? Leaving, of course, the usual mess of paper plates, napkins and beer cans. We always have that assortment after "city dudes ' picnic in our woods. This past deer season several farmers, have had livestock kill ed by would-be hunters, a fine thing. The last night ot deer season, while sitting in our liv ing room, a rifle bullet whizzed by our house, from a car driving slow-, looking for eyes. A great sport. This shot was fired at the risk of our livestock in the field next to our house, on a main traveled road. Even in view of the above facts there have been few hunt ers refused - permission to hunt on our place. Yes, we have rais ed the quail and pheasants dur ing those 'sdrrie' 365 days, but why should we have the privi lege of eating .them, when our "city dude" hunters want them for free? .Yes, little' squirrel ranchers like ourselves have a few dol lars invested. Why shouldn't we try to protect them? I'm afraid If we didn't you "city dudes" wouldn't care how many head of livestock was killed or how much property was damaged. We farmers have -long ago stopped looking for something for free. When we go to town we buy and pay to park to get to buy. But then who cares? The farmer is making lots ot money, I'm glad all "city dudes" don't look on farmers ' as 'you, Mr. H. D. Mrs. Robert Humphrey, Butte Falls Star Rt., , Box 19, Eagle Point, Ore. SIXTH ST. MUTTON STEAK 39k Favors Milk Controls To the Editor: If there are those who are not certain how tn vote, on the Mflk Control measure appearing fin the ballot again this fall, may we in behalf of the dairy Industry, state a few simple facts? First, nutrition experts con tinually affirm that milk and t nroducts are about the only food which furnishes sufficient amount of calcium to mane w.i A Jler Vet at the DrCS- uaiai-cu m.wh - ent time we find, due to high pressure advertising, soft annus and substitutes ore crowding milk aside.

The dairy industry is not one thnt lonrta itself naturally to high pressure advertising. Milk is a product which, once gotten dirty cannot be cieanea. xne stainless steel and other equip ment required to produce sani tary milk in the modern dairy require an investment of many thousand dollars, added to the cost of cows, feed and labor. The milk marketing act was set up about 20 years ago to reg ulate sanitary conditions ana w provide the consumer with a steady supply of wholesome milk -net aa cheamv in me wimer when production is low as In summer when there is a surplus. fQuntaa are. alloted to dairies that meet the sanitary require ments.

A Boost for Jim Perry To the Editor: Men In public service, whether elected or ap pointed, and on salary, should not be called on to serve too long in the same capacity. Four years in the same job should be long enough. If promotion is 1m possible then retirement from public life is indicated. Thl is the opinion of -only one person, however, and there are exceptions to any 'rule. But no man should run again and again for the same office, nor should he be asked to. Someone with new ideas and fresh enthu siasm should be found to replace one who has served his propor tionate time lor his commun ity. As long as the replacement is sincere and conscientious, the "new ideas" will pay off and the whole community benefit. Speaking ot new ideas, the Democratic candidate for sher iff has some that seem to be of the "pay off" kind. For in stance; decentralization of the manpower in the sheriff's office so that a deputy sheriff is not too far distant from any area of the county and at practlcaUy no additional expense, contact to be made by radio or telephone. It would disperse the personnel to places of likely need. Also along this line, Mayor VanGalder .of Jacksonville is finishing his first year in office, having been appointed to replace Mayor Hackert, ' who resigned last year, although VanGalder had been a councilman for four years previously. One year hasn't been long enough to exhaust all of Mayor VanGalder's good1 ideas. For this reason it is hoped that he will be reelected In order to carry out plans which have not yet had a chance on the agenda, even though he has served (Sis "proportionate time." H. L. Markwith, Pres., City Council, Jacksonville, Ore. SLICED ROAST BACON 19elb. 45e.b. Does II All Add Upt To the Editor: I have been informed that the pine timber from the McDonald Al Serena mine is being sold to. A. A. Tonv" Lausmann. owner oi tne Kogap Lumber Company of Med ford, and the peeies logs to Timber Products Co. Tony Lausmann is president of the Oregon Republican Clubs. Lunmann Is getting the cream ot the timber from Al Serena. The mining patents on Al Serena wert granted as soon as possible after the Republicans cam into power in Washington. Does all add up? . '' It Is recalled that the Al Serena Mine is located between Elk Creek and Union Creek in the Rogue River National For est. It is the mine on which a mining patent was granted by the Republican administration, with the help of Congressman Harris Ellsworth, after succes sive Democratic admlnistrat- tions had turned down the min ing claim patents on the grounds that there was not sufficient mineral on the claims to justify inlng patents, v It is also Interesting to know that upstate newspaper report ers, who came down here to look into the Al Serena con troversy, found that the Forest Service and other government officials have, completely clammed up" and are fearful of their scalps if they so much as discuss the history of the Al Serena case. They have received their warning from on high. Like the Chinese laundryman they no saweey." Value of the timber on the Al Serena claims, before their lips were sealed, was estimated by Forest Service officials at' well over $100,000. No commercial mining as such is being done now. But. the timber is being mitied" as fast as it can be cut. This brings up a question. What is going to happen to the thousands of acres of mining claims that have been filed throughout the Union. Creek area,, including even the area at Union Creek where summer homes now stand, and have stood ' for 30 years? Mining ilalms have been filed on all ot it.' It's good business if you can get it But wouldn't it have been better for Jackson county citi zens it the county had got its regular percentage of the value of federal timber as it does under normal Forest Service and and C. timber sales? William A. Hoxie 953 Kenyon St. Medford, Oregon Barking Up Wrong Tree To the Editor: It looks as if dogs and Republicans have got ten mixed up in this present political campaign. Of course, we have all been didactically told that "What is good for General Motors is good for the country." But the Secretary goes on to tell us about dogs. Knowing a little about dogs myself, especially about some of the yapping mongrels in Medford, may I say that a good master feeds his hunting dogs as well as his kennel dogs? The trained bird -dog flushes birds for his master, retrieves them so carefully in his lend er mouth that feathers and skin are almost untouched. The bird dog does not hunt birds to kill and eat them himself. He merely gets the parts unfit for human consumption for his wag es and Is content with that Should we workers be content with the same, so that the mas ters can live in luxury? Or did Secretary Wilson intend to re fer to chicken stealing, chicken killing tramp dogs, who being without employment (i.e., mas ters) must somehow eat if they are to live? Or to the wily coyote? Big dogs as well as wolves even kill sheep when starving, who can blame them? There are some fine local dogs, since we are on the sub ject of unnatural history, who are trained to stay home and keep out of the streets so that Hear What HYDRO-ELECTRIC DEVELOPMENT Means to You UARN THI FACTS about (1) Hells Canyon Dam, (2) the Preference Clause in hydro-electrio contracts, (S) the fallacy of Partnerships between government and private power, UASH what the people of Oregon stand to lose by tampering with the present program . hlch has been so successful for the past 25 years, as explained by ' 1 these prominent Grange, men: OMR MsOUM.
