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.

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.

Against Cog Measure
To the Editor: Many of our
ordinarily tolerant citizens and
tax ' payers wonder about this
Dog Measure, but perhaps too
few have time to check into
its meaning. 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. .

Wants. 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

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? "

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.

Favors Milk Controls
To the Editor: If there are
those who are not certain how

measure appearing fin the ballot

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

rnniit if not he true that some
of the modern-day ills in humans
are caused by this swing away
from mUk products to cheaper
,hoti(.itBB? in the lieht of these
facts are the substitutes, really
cheaper?
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.

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."

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?

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
