t Jackson Hotel dinner-meeting
Richard Smith, Secy, of the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce,
issued practically an ultimatum
threat to dismember and divide
America's National Forest a,
Parks, Monuments, Grazing
: lands, etc, among private opera
tors for exploitation; v :V;,;
1953,Wune 19, The Southern
Oregon Chapter No. 134, Na
tional Assn. Retired Civil Em
ployees, passed some resolutions
J" WW the threats of the
U5CC and some big timber and
lumber companies were" con
demned. We still have a few
copies, and response from all
- over the U.S.
1953, Sept. 20, Congressman
Ellsworth addressed our NARCE
chapter meeting, when among
other things he condemned the
; U. S. Forest Service manage
ment for cutting only 4 billion
bd. ft. of timber a year when it'
should be supplying 6 billion,
etc. etc. Yet he said nothing about
the 12 billion lost in the Tilla
mook burn, or scores of billions
wasted and destroyed yearly by
Drivate operators.
When told of the USCC threat
to our Forests,. Parks, etc., and
the plan to "educate" the Amer
ican school children by flooding
the schools with USCC propa
ganda, Mr. Ellsworth said, "Oh,
they can't do that." When told
"they have been doing it, and
are doing it right now," Mr.
Ellsworth replied that "I am to
address the Chamber at San
Francisco in a few days and I
will see about that."
Sept. 30, 1953, Congressman
Ellsworth addressed the U. S.
CC at San Francisco. He did
criticize a few of the USCC pro
posed policies, spewed venom on
1he U. S. Forest Service, praised
the Forest Exchange and other
bills "pending in Congress which
contain at least in part recom
mendations by the National Af
fairs Committee of the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce." If
passed, that measure would have
wrecked our Natl. Forests, and
evenually Natl. Parks and every
other federal land management
system. Our Ex-Chief Forester,
Lyle Watts,, pronounced the bill
"'Special Interests' legislation."
Had private operators prac
ticed 10 of forest protection
urged by U. S. Forest Service
from Gifford Pinchot's crusading
in 1900 to Lyle Watts' condem
nation of the Higgins Lake com
mittee, 1946, we'd not be in this
timber famine, and there'd be
forests for our grandchildren.
Vote and retire Ellsworth and
Cordon.

A Boost lor Ralph James
To the Editor: In the midst
tof all the campaign confusion,
mud slinging and name calling
we would like to mention a cam
diriate who said when he decided
to enter the race there would be
no mud slinging or underhanded
insinuations; on his part or from
any one working in his behalf
if he could prevent it. And so
. far this promise has been kept.
The subject of this communi
cation is Ralph James, of Sams
Valley, prominent Granger and
Democratic candidate for county
commissioner. I have known and
done business with Mr. James for
many years and have found him
to be honest, straight forward,
energetic and reliable, with a
wide knowledge of many voca
tions such as farming, dairying,
construction road work, clerical,
and many others.
During my twenty years as
Grange deputy it was my duty to
visit and instruct Granges, and
in this way I got to see the dif
ferent masters at their work,
and found Ralph James among
the best. He seemed to have a
knack of keeping friction out
of his membership, but at the
same time encouraged discus
sion. As an example, Ralph op
poses a general sales tax, as in
his opinion it places the burden
of taxation upon those least able
to bear it. Yet as master of his
Grange he encouraged discus
sions on both sides of the issue.
During my term as county com
missioner I learned among other
things that members of the court
should listen to and give consid
eration to thdse who came be
fore them with suggestions or
pleas for help. It is their job to
be courteous, and business like
and be able to say "yes" as well
as "no" at the proper time.
Ralph James. will meet these
requirements and is physically
and mentally fit for the task.
He will conduct the office with
honor and dignity, giving all of
his time to its operation and
will try to encourage a closer
relationship between the people
and the court.
We all can agree with his idea
that the vast area in the north
half of the cotinty, which hasn't
had a commissioner in some 20
years, is entitled to one at this
time, and the 13,000 democrat
in the county should have repre
sentation on the court. Consid
ering the above statement I can
in all sincerity recommend
Ralph James for your vote which
he .will appreciate.

J Gire Oregon Two Parties
To the Editor: Real competi
tion between the two political
parties in either a state or na
ion is the energizing force ot a
Democracy. It is the two-party
system that has made the Unit
ed States the great nation that it
is. Then why has Oregon, for
the past generation, slumbered
on as a one-party state?
'.. Real competition between the
two: parties produces more
alert office holders, better gov
ernment, and more progressive
programs. The voters of Oregon
this year have it in their power
to give Oregon a two-party gov
ernment; to give Oregon a more
progressive outlook, and to place
Oregon in a national position
where our national leaders will
pay attention to- Oregon.
The mere fact that this year
Oregon Democrats have produc
ed a full slate of top-flight can
didates has brought national at
tention to Oregon during this
campaign. ' Witness the visit to
Oregon of Vice-President Nixon,
Speaker Joe Martin, and a stag
gering shower of Republican sen
ators during the past few days,
all in an effort to turn the tide
that was running in favor of
Democrat Richard Neuberger in
the Democrats' effort to unseat
the atrophied Senator Guy
Cordon. ,
When a state, for year after
year, is either solid Democrat or
solid Republican, the national
political leaders ignore it. That
is why Oregon has fallen so
far behind California and Wash
ington in federal development.
It has been assumed the state
would go Republican,' so why
botherl
It is true that In some past
campaigns Oregon Democrats
have, not put their best foot
forward in the form of candi
dates, but this year the Demo
cratic candidates in every, in
stance surpass those of the Re
publicans. The .candidates, have
background, they have progres
sive platforms, and they are
able. This year there is no ex
cuse for dogmatic voting. -
Vote, the Democratic ticket
Tuesday, not only because the
Democratic candidates are su
perior in every way, not only
because they represent an awak
ened and aroused Oregon, but
to help lift Oregon out of the
swamp of a "one-party" govern
ment. Mrs. Harvey Wyatt,

Opposed To New Dog Law
- To the Editor: Checking with
both the city attorney's and the
district attorney's offices here,
we find that this Dog Measure,
it passed, is a matter for Jack
son county to enforce and the
taxpayers of Jackson county
must stand for the cost of this
enforcement.
As stated in a letter to the
editor on October 29, the Med
ford police force cannot, as a
matter of law, deal with this
proposed Dog Measure. However
the city police under already
existing ordinances can protect
citizens against destruction of
lawns, etc., and also under its
ordinance on disturbing the
peace, protect them from exces
sive barking of dogs. - ,
But neither of these nuisances,
of which .dogs are sometimes
guilty, can necessarily be taken
care of by the county under the
proposed measure. If the enforce
ment of this Dog Measure can
do nothing more for the average
Medford citizen than can already
be done by existing ordinances,
why burden us with just an
other law? . ..
Since this Dog Measure if
passed, has to be enforced by
Jackson county and no provision
is made for its enforcement, it
will be up to the county court
to appropriate the money out
of our taxes to pay for the po
licing force necessary to pa
trol the streets , ot Medford
to see that all dogs, good and
bad, are muzzled and attended
by their keepers.
Do we want our tax money
used for enforcement ot this
Dog Measure under which only
the Oregon code will control
and which deals with protecting
owners of domestic livestock,
and not with the nuisance of
barking dogs, damaging ot lawns
or . any destruction other than
that of domestic livestock?

There's a
Weirdie
Resents Cordon Smear Attack
To the Editor: I aiu writing
this letter to protest against the
ugliest "smear;'' yet to appear
in Oregon politics.
In the September Issue of the
Oregon Legionnaire, Guy Cor
don and his political henchmen
took a paid ad to accuse Richard
L. Neuberger of wangling "a
soft safe berth" for himself dur
ing World War II. . -
What are the facts?
Richard L. Neuberger served
in the Army from July 15, 1942,
until August 12, 1945. He was
on duty nearly half that time in
the Far North, General James
A. O'Connor,; builder ot the
famous Alcan Highway, said
this of Neuberger:
"Richard L. Neuberger served
under , my ' command in
the Alaska-Yukon Theatre of
War ... I consider him a person
of integrity, loyalty and ability.
He is a patriotic American citi
zen. I regard him as a leader of
men." .
' Guy Cordon, who has taken an
ad to attack Neuberger's war
record, was in military service
from September 2, 1918, until
November 26, 1918.- During that
time Cordon never gave up bis
political job as Assessor of Doug
las County.
Why do you think a man who
served in the army less than
three months, all stateside,
would take a paid ad to attack
the record of a man who served
more than three years? , .
Doesn't this indicate more
smoke screen to becloud the real
issues and hide Cordon's record
as Senator, that from the stand
point of the public's best inter
est, at least, is no more impres
sive than his rather short service
record? .
Attack of the political record
of a candidate is one thing. But
personal, below-the-bclt attack is
quite another. Abominable cam
paign tactics to say the least!

She is Against the Dogs
To the Editor: In regard to
the dog measure, drastic "Yes."
but it seems the only way to
make some people realize .the
rights of their fellow man.
Some invest in expensive cars,
vacations, hobbies, etc., others
in beautiful landscaping for their
homes. Why should they have
to put up with unsightliness on
lawns and flowers which are
killed by repeated stopping of
dogs at the same spot. To bend
to pick a flower or produce you
nave worked hard to grow and
find you cannot because of the
filth deposited there makes one
question what kind of people
own these dogs? Other types of
pets & livestock are confined
tq ones own premises why not
dogs? A Mj. Lowd once wrote
in the Tribune that dogs are
their own doctors, pish posh!
Anyone should know that an
animal or pet fed clean whole
some food and water is healthier
than one allowed to roam, tip
ping over garbage cans & eating
all sorts of spoiled food. This
measure will not affect anyone
who truly loves and cares for
their dogs because they keep
them confined anyway but it
may stop the people who have
no regards whatsoever for the
rights of their neighbors.

Why Doesn't Ellsworth Speak?
To the Editor: I have made
careful inquiry among my Re
publican friends as to the rea
sons for the silence of Mr. Ells
worth in this campaign. I find
the following:
Q. Why has Ellsworth refused
to debate with Porter?
A. Porter is a trained and
skillful debater, and Ellsworth
would be at a disadvantage.
Q. This is understandable, but
why has Ellsworth refused to ap
pear on the same program with
Porter?
A. Harris is not a good public
speaker either.

To. the Editor: Some of the

believe that Communists in our
government was just a fairy
tale that the Republicans are
using. Have we forgot the FBI
report? Have we forgot Martin
Dies, a Democrat from Texas?
If so, then read what Martin

To the Zdltorl After reading
the letter in Thursday's MT, 1 1
being a firm believer in the
rights of all living creatures.
felt it only fair to call a special
meeting of my dogs and various
members of the cannine popula
tion in the neighborshood.
After discussing, the problem,
in question, the dogs, being the
judges, reached the .conclusion
that they object, very strenuous
ly, to another, "specific type of
pet',' . or "piece ct property,"
namely children, including my
own, who generally happen to
be the rightful owners of the ani
mals in question. 1
It was accided, by the dogs,
that the youngsters, also, have
the ability, at times, to "range
far and wide" beyond the con
trol of their owners, not only
trespassing on the neighbors'
yards, cluttering the streets and
making an extremely obnoxious
amount of noise, but also, throw
ing rocks, leaving "trash" lying
about, and sometimes just being
nuisances in general.
So, In all fairness to "com
posure necessary for responsible
citizens," it has been decided
that we will, not only leash, muz
zle, and restrict our children's
beloved canines, but also our'
children.
It was also suggested, as an
afterthought, by the canines,
that there have been inumerable
references to Incidents thai
"shouldn't happen to a dog." In
many cases, had the dogs had
the upperhand, the incident
wouldn't have happened, such
as the "necessity for composure
because of world-conflicts. There
has not, to the best of our "dog
gone" knowledge, ever been a
world-conflict in the canine pop
ulation, which, beyond a doubt,
assures our serenity and neigh
borliness, especially toward the
noisy, name-calling, rock-throwing,
trespassing, yet very dear,
little "personal properties" . we
refer to as "kids." ; -.- .

To the Editor: We read in
the newspaper advertisements,
and hear on the radio, a contin
ual harrangue by Republicans
about what a wonderful U. S.
Senator Guy Cordon is. Some
hysterically go so far as t,o call
him the "greatest."
That, of course, is a matter
of opinion but will some of these
Republicans please explain to
me why the newspaper corres
pondents who report the activ
ities of the U. S. Senate in
Washington and that means
ALL of them for Democratic
and Republican newspapers
alike ' '. . rate Senator Cordon
among the BOTTOM 15 from
a standpoint of effectiveness,
ability and usefulness.
If Senator Cordon is so bril

Farmers and Hunters
To the Editor: The hunter
buys a license to hunt pheasants
and then finds he has no place
to go hunting except on the
farmers' ranch where he's often
chased off. Most of the hunters
are business men, doctors, law
yers, merchants, who enjoy a
few days hunting away from
their business in the city.
Some call them "city slick
ers" or "dudes." They don't de
serve to be called slickers. Most
of them are gentlemen of good
character. Some are not so good
and break down fences, shoot in
one's, back yard, kill poultry
and sometimes a calf, sheep or
cow. That's bad.
The farmers need the city
hunters where they must go for
their farm machinery and tools,
groceries and medical care. On
the other hand, they can't toler
ate the damage done or time
spent repairing fences, gates, etc.
I think there should be no li
censes to buy for hunting. Then
hunters wouldn't be able to show
anything and there might be
peace in the family.

Party Publications .
To the Editor: I recently re
ceived In the mall a copy of a
newspaper entitled The Times.
This, the Initial issue of the pub
lication, was supposedly lor the
nurnose of determining; whether
or not there would be sufficient
interest in a newspaper ot this
kind to warrant weekly distribu
tion in Medford. However, be
cause of the amount of Repub
lican sponsored advertising, I
cannot help but think that this
was strictly a "single shot" af
fair tq further the campaign of
the Republican party. In effect,
I believe that for this one issue
The Times became : an official
publication of the Republican
party in Jackson county.
The front page of The Times
carried photographs ot the two
candidates for United States sen
ator. These photographs further
serve to illustrate the depths to
which the supporters ot Cordon
have descended. The picture of
Neuberger is obviously a candid
shot which caught him in an ex
tremely unfavorable pose while
the picture of Cordon is appar
ently a studio portrait, carefully
posed and lighted. How many of
us have snapshots in the family
album that are a constant source
of embarrassment, yet do nothing
to detract from our ability and
intelligence? Surely, none of the
voters of this county will be
taken in by a feeble effort of
this type to gather votes for
Cordon.
In this country we are taught
from childhood .that fair , play
and sportsmanship are qualities
to be desired and are a part of
our heritage. The printing of two
nhotogranhs such as these would
seem almost un-American, for
the two above mentioned quali
ties are conspicuously absent in
this presentation of the two can
didates. . .
Large advertisements are rin
evidence- by firms that are
owned by Republicans, one of
whom is the President ol tne
Oregon Reoublican Clubs. Could
it be that' they consider this ex
penditure to support The Times,
and the candidates The Times
is endorsing, as an Investment?
If such is the case. Mr. Average
American should beware for
every business man expects to
show, a profit on an Investment.
It would seem the average voter
would be in a far better position
if hp were represented by a man
that had made his Commitments
to the people rather tnan pig
business firms.. . . . ;

t.llrn Menev Cordon' Got '
To the Editor: I am afraid that
I am getting very resentful of the
fact that some of the Democratic
candidates, and some editors,
take such a low view of the in.
tplHuence of the people. ': i
v They say over and over that a
vote for Guy Cordon will be a
vote against Federal projects for
Oregon, and tht tne only way
of getting such projects is to vote
for his epponent.
Just what are the facts? The
facts, are that Guy Cordon has
been a member of the Senate Ap
propriations Committee for quite
a number of years and during
that time some of the most im
portant projects on the Colum
bia and elsewhere in Oregon
have been authorized andor
money appropriated to . build
them. During that time, the pro
portion of public-works money
spent in the Northwest has in
creased so much that people like
new-deal Democratic Senator
Kennedy warned that they
would fight further increases.
; They did fight the Talent proj
ect this last session until one
vote on it was very close, but all
Jackson County knows that it
was Cordon sfnd Ellsworth 'that
initiated it and fought it through
to approval by the Congress and
the Republican president. It was
not Neuberger or his pal, Wayne
Morse, but Cordon and Ells
worth. Can' a person" make
charges like 'that in the face of
facts of record unless he is either
stupid or dishonest? I cannot
help but feel that the campaign
of lies-will react against those
who tell them, and in favor of
those who are slandered.

The People's Choice
To the Editor: I should like
to quote Michael Marsh on his
recent article in a national pub
lication: "The People's Choice!"
that's how every congressman
will feel about himself after
he wins in November.
But how tree a choice do the
people have?
Some candidates have hun
dreds of thousands or even mil
lions to spend , with radio and
television programs, with bill
boards, with big newspaper ads.
Other men, with no big bus
iness backers, have to face this
barrage with only a few thous
and dollars, plus their own legs
and voices, to convey their mes
sages to . the voters.
In Oregon, a responsible
source predicts a large amount
ot Texas oil patrons' cash will
be thrown against young Dick
Neuberger in his fighting effort
to unseat one of the Senate s
worst Tories, Guy Cordon. .
Thats what a well known
authority says ot Guy Cordon
and his campaign.:
I ask, do you people of Jack
son county believe in a two-
party system?
Oregon has not elected a
Democrat to office in decades.
This year the Democratic party
has an outstanding slate of cand
idates. - ' '
In Oregon it's certainly time
for a change. We should heavily
endorse Joe Carson, Dick Neu
berger, Charles Porter, Norman

Wants Milk Bill Beaten
To the Editor: I want to say
VI agree" to James W. Tillery's
letter with the facts in favor of
repealing Milk Control Law. I
think too many people don't
know that repealing this
wouldn't have any effect on the
sanitation and pureness of the
milk. .
For people with children, the
repeal is the rn'.y thing that will
help parents buy enough milk
for their children. Parents will
buy more milk and the men who
actually raise, feed, and care for
the cows will get more money
through the . increased sale of
milk. The only controls we con
sumers need for milk is in seeing
that the cows are tested for
bangs and T.B. and that the milk
Is handled safely in keeping it
clean, cool and fresh.
- The bottles and cartons from
store tell vis the very low butter
fat content and the grade and
the very high price of the milk
but nothing about freshness--
how long it has been: since the
milk came from the cow.,.
We don't need anyone telling
the dairymen how much to
charge he knows how much to
charge and yet feed his cows and
make himself a living. If some
dairymen know how to get more
milk and richer milk for the
amount of feed he puts into his
cows, and figures he can sell his
milk by the gallon jug he cer
tainly has the right to do so. If
each consumer is responsible tor
the cleanliness of his own jug it
will surely be as sanitary as the
consumer's own dishes that he
eats oft three times a day.
We now have a milk goat to
help keep our children in milk,
but we still need more milk, and
the parents living in town and'
apartments can't keep a milk
goat. They just have to cut down
milk .consumption by their chil
dren when it is so high. Every
Mother and Father ahould look
at their milk bill and then look
up the amount each- child is sup
posed to get daily for growth,
good teeth, and good health and
then knowing that repealing the
Milk Control Law won't impair
the pureness of milk, go down to
the polls and vote "Yes" to 8.

The Log-Buyer Did It ' .
To the .Editor: Mr. William
Hoxie's letter regarding the Al
Serena mine controversy which
was printed in last Friday's pa
per prompts an answer to the in
sinuations and implications con
tained in the first two para
graphs of his letter. Mr. Hoxie
cleverly attempts to imply that
Mr. Lausmann of Kogap Lumber
Industries is obtaining pine logs
from the Al Serena property as
a result of his affiliation with the
Oregon Republican Club and by
the acquisition of such logs is
profiting heavily, at the expense'
of the public.
Such implications are entirely
unfounded inasmuch as all pur
chases of logs by Kogap Lumber
Industries are done under the di
rection ot a log buyer. The pur
chase of pine logs from the Mc
Donalds of the Al Serena prop
erty was begun in July of this
year on the basis of a general
log price list dated June 1, 1954
published by Kogap and distrib
uted to all log sellers in this
area. Since July the McDonalds
have seen fit to- sell approxi
mately 125M board feet of pine
logs to Kogap on this price list
and we understand logs have
also gone to about six. other mills
during the same period. It is
quite obvious that the volume of
pine logs received by Kogap is
very small and that Kogap- has
received logs from the McDon
alds only when its log prices
were in line with other mills In
this area. , ' . ' ..:
We hope this puts the record
straight and answers Mr. Hoxie's
cheap insinuations and perhaps
tn tne lulu re he will make an at
tempt to find the true facts be
fore resorting to such innuendos

their income dropped 6 per cent
and a price squeeze is headed his
way again In the year of 1955;
While farm taxes have been
climbing steadily in the past 11
years, something is wrong with
the economy of the country
wnen -farmers are feeding about
20. more people besides his own
family and yet a union member
laborer can have a bigger nay
check than the farm family of
equal size.

Where Is the Al Serena File?
To the Editor: In past elec
tions other nations have seem
ed far away and concerned with
problems of lesser importance -to
us. The situation today is
changed. - '
The united State is houri
away from Europe and Asia,
and American youths are sta
tioned in many nations. Whether
we like it or not, problems from
the rest of the world are being
added to our own. .
Considering the importance
of the issues we face, we recog-
nize that the United States must1
be represented by those who
can analyze problems, and dis
cuss them intelllgnntly. These
abilities Charles O. Porter has
to a remarkable degree, and his
opponent noticeably lacks. Ells
worth has chosen to remain si-
lent during the greater part of
this campaign, has refused elth- ,
er to debate with Porter or to :
appear on the same program,.
and has failed to meet the isues
directly.
We sft-Suid like to know more)
about Eilswortu's side of the Al
Serena question. He has said the'-,
claims were legitimate and that '
the assays, were made by a repu
table firm; then he has asserted v
that his character was being
assassinated, and that the mining
laws should be changed to sep
arate the surface and the min-
eral rights.
The mining laws as they stand
were sufficient for the Al Ser
ena patents to be refused several
times when the Department ot
Interior , was directed by Oscar
Chapman, a lawyer of recogniz
ed ability and unquestioned in ,
tegrity. ,. , , '
What has happened to the
file in the Al Serena case? -
The public has a right to :
know the answer to this and to -other
questions. ....
On the important question of
foreign policy Porter's oppon- v
ent has maintained silence. For.
tor has said he believed in a bi
partisan foreign policy and. that '
his philosophy is more in agree
ment With the President's than
his opponent's; that this country -should
remain strong while try
ing every means possible for
peace, and tnat ne would not
have voted tor reducing the Air
Force as did his opponent.
Porters plan for peace in
cludes strengthening the .United
Nations and admitting all na
tions to the United Nations, in
cluding Red China. "Although
I do not forget," Porter has said.
What China has done in Korea
and Indo China, I still believe
it is better to talk directly with
600,000,000 Chinese than
through an enemy - Red Rus
sia." --.': .
These Issues are important
The least anyone can do is to
vote Tuesday according to hii
best understanding. , '
