Corbett of Portland and Belton of Canby, that if the state legis lature should pass-the-buck to the people on a tax program, instead of doing the job themselves, they would be shirking their clear obligation, and dodging the responsibility their election imposed. We have a representative government. The tax problem is an extremely involved and complicated one. The people have not the time, nor the informa tion to decide wisely on the various and sundry de tails, of such legislation. That is why they elect representatives to-do the job for them. These representatives have the time, have the information, and should have the courage to do what they were elected to do. IF LATER the people don't like what they did, the people can invoke the referendum. But that is up to them, not up to their representatives. This business of "passing-the-buck" every time a knotty problem comes up by referring controversial measures to the people, has gone too far already. Unless a halt is soon called representative gov ernment in Oregon will be a farce, and its main usefulness destroyed. . I ET members of the Legislature do the very best " they can, after long study and deliberation, to solve the state's financial problem through a tax revision program. When that is done let them go on to other matters. In the meantime, we would suggest they spend less time on passing resolutions and memorials to Congress of a partisan political nature they may do no great harm, but they certainly do no good. The reolutions may get printed in the Congressional Record, but if so practically no 'one in Congress pays any attention to them. Why waste the time, energy and cost of printing when there is so much of more importance to be The answer is politics, on important legislation can be traced in most case's back to the fear of losing votes. It is to be hoped the applied by Messrs. Corbett World War As we review the past in Russia, the threat of World War III, fades farther and farther into the distance. The main cause ..for this optimism is the report of internal trouble in Russia, and declarations that the army group in that country is against war any world-wide conflict in the near future, at least. . , There is the added fact that the new minister of defense in Soviet Russia is Marshal Zhukov, once demoted presumably because of his pro-American sympathies -and his warm friendship for President Eisenhower, -when they were upper-bracket buddies in World War II. i PUTTING these three eAvmc trrrA iaoervn r of Malenkov and elevation make war more likely, as less so. Even if the new Khrushchev regime did decide on war with internal unrest opposed, it is highly unlikely any such move would be actually attempted. Putting guns in the hancte of 3 or 4 million disgruntled citizens, is the last thing that a canny dictator like Khrushchev or any total itarian government would risk. The Russian deser tions were bad enough at the start of war with Ger many. What they might be today, if conditions in Russia are as turbulent as believed,- might add. up to a counter revolution. And that is the Kremlin's one great and always haunting fear, the one thing above all others that can't be chanced. THERE are other minor items pointing inthe same 1 direction away from war. The Red Chinese are talking tough, but it doesn't seem likely to express it mildly that Mao would risk an all-out war with the USA 'without a guarantee of 100 Russian sup port. And certainly if the Russian army command -doesn't WANT war, such support would hardly be forthcoming. Finally it vcan be put down as certain, that if neither Russia nor China WANT war, there will be none. 7 - Unless there should be some catastrophic blunder on one side or the other, World War III never looked farther away, or world peace nearer. THAT qualifying adjective "WORLD" should be emphasized, however: As far as small wars of a local character, particularly in the Far East are con cerned, this department enjoys no such feeling of optimisim. Fighting indeed may go on in that part of the world for many years, on a minor scale. But the big fear is, and should be, a global con flict, in which the two major powers would be forced to engage in a war to the death a war ;of mutual sacrifice and probably mutual destruction. All wars should be outlawed. But that can't be expected to happen today or tomorrow. If a world war can be prevented for the present, and some rea sonable distance into the future, then a great load will have been taken from the minds of all thinking per sons, and hope renewed that the human race can in the interim create enough restraint and arouse enough common horse-SENSE to prevent , its own destruction !

Less Likely week and the excitement items together, and there VkalioirA fin of flia A otv nf 1 nn of Khrushchev, does not some have maintained, but what it is, and the army Matter of Fact THE MEANING OF KHRUSHCHEV Washington The ruling fac tion in the Kremlin has con cluded that even a partial set tlement with the West is out of y " vSSil the question; and tnat war is probable if not inevitable. Soviet policy is henceforth to be based on these grim as sumptions. This is the majority view of those best qualified to in terpret the Stewart Alsop meaning of the events surround ing the downfall of Georgi M. Malenkov. There is all sorts of evidence to support this in terpretation. In the first place, there is the nature of the difference between Malenkov and N. S. Khrushchev. Their well-advertised disagree ment about the degree of em phasis on arms production has been only a symptom of a more basic difference whether war with the West or "co-existence," and a long period of stalemate, is more probable. There is no doubt where each has stood on this question. There was, for example, the extremely belligerent speech wnich Khru shchev made in Prague, in June last year, much of its belliger ent tone was carefully edited out this at a time, of course, when Malenkov was in the ascendant. Or there was the conversa tion not too long ago between Malenkov, Khrushchev, and the Moscow diplomatic representa tive of one of the neutral pow ers. Khrushchev announced in his blunt way that if the Paris agreement to rearm Germany were ratified, then "there was nothing more to be done." The clear implication was that there was no hope of. avoiding war if West Germany were rearmed. But Malenkov hastily interposed that there was always hope, that "there was always something to be done," to avoid war. This is not to suggest that Malenkov was in any sense a pacific idealist or a friend of the West. The difference is one of emphasis. But this difference could be crucial. How crucial is suggested by the decision sharp ly to increase arms spending, announced some" days before Malenkov's downfall was made public, but when Khrushchev was certainly already in the driver's seat. THIS' decision is, compared by experts to Josef Stalin's de cision to rearm at all costs after Munich f it is a sign that the Kremlin now, as then, expects war. Similarly, Molotov's tough speech .after Malenkov's resigna tion is compared to Stalin's In The Day's By FRANK JENKINS - The BIG news: No shooting YET in the For mosa area. , ' S OOTHING news: President Eisenhower and Treasury Secretary Humphrey took off for a week end of quail shooting in Georgia.

THEY will, do their shooting on what in the still ruggedly American West we would call Secretary Humphrey's RANCH. The correspondents, living and working in the fantastic and unreal atmosphere of Washing ton, call it Secretary Humph rey's ESTATE. WHY does Ike need relaxa- tion?

Vaughn C. Keyser, - : President Medford 77 Central Labor Council. 6 Ji By Stewart Alsop speech immediately after the end of the war, in which Stalin clear ly foreshadowed the "hard" policy towards the Soviet Union's war-time allies. For what consolation it may be worth, this switch to. a "hard" policy based on the expectation of war comes as no great sur prise to the American govern ment. As noted in this space early last January: "When Am bassador Charles E. Bohlen re turned to Moscow recently, he re ported back that the sense of tension had measurably increased there in the few days since he had left." Thereafter, Bohlen reported that the "sense of tension" de rived from a power struggle which was centered on a basic policy disagreement; and that Khrushchev, the proponent of a tough policy, appeared .to be win ning this struggle. The evidence suggests that the power struggle began to come to a head in the late autumn, soon after Khru shchev returned from his trip to Communist China. This trip, it is believed, con vinced Khrushchev that the Chi nese Communists were prepared to take major risks of war. On his return, he took the position that the Soviet Uni nn har? tin alternative but to support China 11 it came to a showdown, and that the Russian arms industry must therefore be reatlv ex panded -at all costs. Khrushchev had been fighting for more arms nroduction and a tougher policy even before he t fi- ... ieix, 01 course, but the beginnings of the China crisis strengthened his hand. So did the German re armament pact. The army final ly sided with Khrushchev it i believed, and the issue was actu ally settled in his favor in late uecemoer or early January. rpHE triumph of Khrushchev A does not mean that the Kremlin is getting ready to start a woria war tomorrow. On the contrary, there is solid evidence that, even since Khrushchev be came the real p o w e r. in the Kremlin, Moscow has tried to re strain Peking from eoine tnn far in the Formosa crisis. Bohlen and other experts are still con vinced tnat the Kremlin does not want a war. Yet all-out rearmament, and a "hard" policy based on the assumption that war is probable, obviously in itself increases the danger of war. According to one experienced policy-maker, what hds hardened in Mnmu has multiplied the risk of . war Dy a lactor of about four. In the circumstances it is strange but true that there is an. parently no disposition whatso ever ijj the administration to have a ' hard new look at the state of "our own defenses. .

ORE significant news: In New York the stock mar ket raced ahead at the opening from its new all-time high base established Wednesday. Gains went to between one and two points in leading areas. Losses were small and infrequent. In Chicago, wheat advanced a little, but all other gains slip ped off. Selling pressure in ce reals other than wheat wasn't unusually heavy, but it was enough to cause fractional de clines with every limited de mand in all pits. The firmer tone in wheat followed a sharp break in the closing hours of trading. . WH !Y is that significant? This is why: Stock prices tend to FALL when it looks like war is immi nent.

By Eugene Bums Ranger-Naturalist The concern insect mothers bestow- upon their offspring varies greaUy among the hun dreds of thousands of insects. To us, some appear shamefully negligent; others are much more indulgent. Some insect mothers drop their eggs at random, wherever they find themselves, with no regard whatever for the needs of their young. For example, a mother walking-stick casual ly lets her eggs faU like rain from her tree-twig promenade and that completes her matron ly duties. She leaves it .up to her babies to find their way up the tree. Some moths do not seem overly bright. They, sometimes leave their eggs on stone walls, where they perish. - Grasshopper mothers are slightly more concerned. At least they place their eggs in the soil which gives them some protection although the little hoppers are left to work their own way to the surface to find food. A step up, there are thousands of insect mothers who are care ful botanists and search until they find exactly the right plant on which to lay their eggs so that their young will have ex actly the right food near at hand. Anyone who has had any thing to do with cabbages knows only too weU how the newly hatched cabbage worms make themselves right at home where the mother butterfly; deposited the eggs. Perhaps -other garden ers are more familiar with the depredations of the corn ear- worm -it has been placed with in a couple of wiggles of the luscious, milk-fiUed grains. Close Relationship In this connection, the yucca moth always lays her eggs in the yucca where the young can eat the seeds. The relationship between the moth and the plant has grown so close that today neither one could survive, with out the other. . - v . It's this way. The yucca, a curious plant of our southwest with sharp bayonet-like leaves pointing in" all directions, bursts into bell-haped ' blossoms early in spring, ' at night, when the yucca moth : is' active. These creamy white,, bell-shaped blos soms are constructed so. that only: the : peculiarly-built yucca moth can fertilize them. It does so by trawling around and over the stamens of the yucca blos soms and in doing so gathers a load of. pollen. Then it goes to another flower where it de posits the pollen which it has gathered at another place to ef fect the cross-pollination. While doing this, it serves, its own interests laying one of its own eggs into the flower. Feeds Upon Seeds In time, the egg of the yucca moth develops into a larva which feeds upon the yucca's seeds and.curiously, this larva is unable to feed on any other kind of seeds. Fortunately many more seeds have developed than the larva can eat. And so yucca and moth are" perpetuated. ., More . socially minded insect mothers, such as the mud-daubers,, place their eggs in specially constructed nests provided with food. If you were to examine the cells, of one of them, you would find-that each one con taining an egg is crammed full with preserved fresh meat in the form of spiders caught and para lyzed and sealed in by the moth er against the day that her off spring needs the kept-alive food. And more. The food is exactly sufficient to nourish the groub until it emerges as an . adult wasp. Chamber in Cells . , In somewhat the same class, the worshipped Egyptian scarabs make a chamber in the soil for each of their young and provi sion it carefully with a molded ball of cow or sheep dung. Some of the cockroaches, kin to 'the . termites, take their motherhood a step farther: they carry their eggs in neat little purse-shaped packets until they are nearly ready to hatch. Ear wigs, some beetles and several true bugs remain with their off spring as well as with the. eggs, thereby setting up something of a -family relationship. Finally, among a tiny group of social insects say about 6,000 and consisting of ants, some bees, some wasps, and the termites there are mothers who remain with their eggs and feed their young, who in turn upon maturity, co-operate with them in . caring for . additional broods. Among : these, family groups arise in which there is a definite division of work: the mother doing the egg laying, the offspring doing at least bulk of the foraging for food nest build- POT LUC K (By M-T Staff and Contributors) Medford Safety council mem bers have suggested that a "care less jaywalker" program be started,, with" one person delib erately jaywalking on a certain day each week. Passersby can then, under the plan, assist any jaywalker- and ask him if-he's the "careless jaywalker." If; so, they get a prize. If not, the bona-fide jaywalker gets embar rassed and mends his ways. So goes the theory. ; There are some interesting possibilities in this. ! For example: What happens if an ordinary jaywalker decides to pose as the official jaywalker, and sends questioners to local stores to pick up television sets, new cars, or whatever,, as prizes? Or: What - happens if the of ficial jaywalker gets run over while officially, jaywalking? It's a poignant scene, and we can almost see it; the poor guy gasp ing out his dying breath and saying to the motorist who hit him, "Yes, I'm the .careless jay walker. You have just won a pint of ice cream." The Medford police depart ment keeps lrack of where ac cidents occur in the city with a large map on the wall. With each accident, a new red pin is added to the map. Down below, in big red let ters, is the message: "Keep Smiling." This is about a school bus, ... It seems one ran out of gas early one morning last week. It was stranded for about a half hour while the bus driver's wife got a can of gasoline and came to her husband's rescue. Meanwhile, an observer re ports, the disconsolate driver leaned unhappily against his . ve hicle while the busload of stu dents, in the gayest possible spirits, : cheered. A local girl whose boy friend is in Korea got to worrying last week because she missed writing him a let ter one day. Her callous brother - in - law remarked. "That's all right. Write him two today." "That's just what I'm going to do,"" she replied. Then thoughtfully, she added, "111 date one Saturday and en . Sunday." . Absentmindedness isn't con fined to professors. A Medford insurance man drove by the post office for his mail on a recent mQrning, parked across , the street, came out of the building and continued on to his office afoot. Wishing to7 use ' his car for a trip to Yreka later in the day he was surprised and wor ried when unable to find if in the downtown parking lot he pa' tronizes. - Hoover Report Gives Startling Picture of Federal Government By JOHN L. CUTTER - ' 7 1: United Press Staff Correspondent 777: -Washington U.R) A startling picture of the federaLgov ernment soon will be displayed to American taxpayers by: the) Hoover Commission on government reorganization.

About 75 per cent were accepted.' : If search of ways to save money and make the government more efficient, the commission sent "task forces" digging into virtually every governmental activity. Here are some samples of their findings: Lending: There are 104 federal agencies which to some ex tent lend money directly or guarantee loans by private institu tions. The potential liability ly to be an actual loss exceeds Surplus: The government has accumulated almost $30,000, 000,000 worth of real estate and personal property which is sur plus to its needs or is obsolete.
