In both cases the basic cause will be the realiza tion on the part of the people that the cost of genera! strikes to society is out of all proportion to the bene fits to any one group.

The truth is in this modern age, strikes, like wars are out-of-date. This does has arrived in either case, lieve that both methods of settling serious differ ences are slowly but surely on their way out.

But as time goes on, we less extreme in its demands, just as capital will be come more generous in its manence of profitable business operation will become as apparent to the employees as to the employers, and while strikes on a minor still come to pass from time less and less frequent and appear. As indicated above this is a very optimistic out look. But there have been so many pessimistic predic tions flying about of late, that for the sake of a change of pace, and a bit of novelty, looking on the brighter side would seem to be justified. So that is what we have done. R.W.R. How About Cigaret Tax? t No one conversant with Oregon politics will be surprised if the cigaret tax of 3 cents a packet is referended. And if it is with the money available and pressure groups ditto, betting odds will no doubt favor the cigaret manufacturers to win this time, as they have before. But they shouldn't AS has so often been remarked in this column we live under a REPRESENTATIVE government. We send our representatives to Salem every two years to do the state business for us. The big problem this year was state finances. The various committees and members worked on this intricate and difficult problem for weeks months in fact and by overwhelming majorities in both houses finally passed a tax on cigarets deeming same to be the best way to balance the budget, along with a big boost in the state income tax. In short the cigaret tax, expected to raise around $5,000,000 annually is an" integral part of the tax program the people's representatives decided upon. If it should be defeated now by popular vote, the entire situation would be so muddled that a special session taking more time and taxpayers money might be imperative and certainly -representative government would be dealt a severe blow. "THE important point, as we see it, is the obligation to support their form of government on the part of the people. We don't mean blindly, nor in any way to impair the referendum privilege when justified, but other things being equal, to at least always place the burden of proof upon those who maintain action taken by their duly elected proper and not to the best There has been no proof of his sort presented, as to a tax on cigarets and we doubt very much if there will be. FOR political purposes and to bring about its'de r feat this tax will probably be called a "sales tax" and a discriminatory tax. out of 48 now levy such a has been a tax on liquor, so on the question of dis crimination, this objection to a tax on cigarets hardly stands up. Certainly if the people as a whole, refuse to sup port their representative form of government as a political institution they won't have one not for long at least.

Matter of Fact MESSAGE FROM ASIA Washington Asia is the vul nerable flank of the United States and the free world. That WW! sentence would be this report er's choice, if he were asked to compress in to one sentence ail the innu merable obser vations and im pressions of a six months' journey in Joseph Alsop Asia. If Asia is our vulnerable flank, moreover, it follows that almost all the de velopments that are now thought to be so hopeful are mere local and temporary gains. The free ing of Austria, for instance, is being hailed as the beginning of a new era of international re lations; but there is no reason to suppose, as yet, that it is any thing of the sort. To be sure, the Soviets would never have freed Austria if im mense progress had not been made, on many fronts, in rein forcing Western Europe against Communist pressures. But pre cisely because of this progress that began with the Marshall Plan and ended with German rearmament, Europe is no long er the place to look for signs of a new era's dawn. The leaders of world commu nism are not a pack of fools. They will not order a desparate frontal attack on a strongly fortified line, if there is a naked, unprotected flank by which the whole position can be taken. Asia is that flank. If there is any hope of peace between the free and Communist worlds, the place to look for signs of peace is in Asia. As of today, unfortu nately, no such signs are in sight. In the hope of getting what they want without the bother some risk of fighting for it, the Chinese Communists have of course declared their willing ness to talk about the situation in the Formosa Strait. But there is no jot or tittle of evidence that the Communists will not attack the offshore islands in the end, if the Eisenhower admin istration does not succeed in giv ing them Quemoy and the Mat- sus as a present. A ND if the Administration suc- 1. ceeds in making this hand some present to Peiping, there is no jot or tittle of evidence. either, that the Communists will not then proceed to prepare an early attack on Formosa proper. Possession of Quemoy and the Matsus will make this possible, and Peiping s claim to Formosa has never been abandoned or abated. Furthermore, this local, pre dominantly military situation in the Formosa Strait is far less important, except as a symptom, than the political-military situa tion in Southeast Asia. It may be heresy to say so, but this country and the free world could well afford to lose For mosa if we could be sure of los ing nothing iurtner. umortu- nately, however, much more serious losses probably lie ahead in Southeast Asia, and in South east Asia, the danger is more complex than in the Formosa Strait. At the bottom of the South east Asian problem, of course, there is the vast and increasing military power of communism in Asia. The weak Korean truce that the Eisenhower administra tion granted a China strained to the breaking point, in effect in sured that all Asia would be indefinitely overshadowed by the huge army and large air force of the Peipmg govern ment. The Geneva-Munich add ed to the calculation another 20 divisions, which the Communist dominated Viet Minh are now whipping into shape in North ern Indochina. But in Southeast Asia, it is the mere threat of Communist military power, rather than the direct application of Communist military power, that creates the primary problem. If affairs in Southern Indochina develop as badly as seems likely, even American policy must be expect ed to be semi-paralyzed by the menacing existence of 20 Viet Minh divisions in the North. The weak states of Southeast Asia are infinitely more likely to suc cumb to this kind of paralysis by unspoken military threat. If these Asian nations had al ready found themselves, threats would shake them far less. But only Burma is even beginning to find herself. All are disor ganized. All are open to infil tration. In all, large groups of the population are waiting to see which way the bandwagon is going. This internal weakness is in turn exaggerated by the threat of Communist military power, and so the Communists have the opportunity of repeat ing Joshua's stunt under the Walls of Jericho. SEATO is no answer to this danger. Yet the danger must be met somehow, for the kind of chain reaction of triumphs that the Communists can now hope for in Southeast Asia, will surely beget an even more dis astrous chain reaction in less remote parts of the world. In Japan, which President Eis enhower has officially proclaim- ed "an American bastion," the issssssssssllillsssvn 1 v1 By Joseph Alsop writing is already on the wall. The betting is far better than even that a Communist triumph in Southeast Asia will be quick ly followed by the rupture of the Japanese-American alliance. And similar effects will surely be observed in India and the Middle East, in troubled Africa, and even in Europe. That is the perspective that opens out in Asia today. If the famous meeting at the summit does not produce some means of closing that perspective, it will have produced little of last ing value. Copyright, 1955, New York Herald Tribune Ine. mhii Manuals Helsinki, With SAS Delay ed Ever consider the compli cated toilet of birds? They bathe in water, dust and even snow, anoint themselves with oil, preen and groom by the hour just like movie queens and, yes, some even dust themselves with their own brand of powder. Let me tell you how this sub ject came about. This morning I arrived in a luxurious four-motored Scandinavian Airlines Sys tem plane; this afternoon, a horse-drawn sleigh called to take me across the frozen harbor to visit at Finland's famous island zoo with Director D. af Eneh- jelm, a bird authority. En route I saw a raven take a snow bath that's right, dusting himself vigorously in powdery snow. So, over coffee and pastry, we dis cussed the toilet of birds Many birds such as the robin, snarrow. chaffinch and black bird bathe frequently. They seemingly enjoy a thorough washing, performing the task vigorously and hastily, after which they hurriedly hie them selves to nearby bushes where they shake their wet feathers out and then smooth them care fully. Fear speeds them: while bathing, birds are vulnerable to attack and they fly quickly to nearby bushes because - their drenched wings slow their flight considerably. Birds do not limit their bath ing to warm summer weather. Not at all. Some have been ob served bathing when the water temperature has been only a few degrees from freezing and the air temperature was down to 10 degrees above zero that's 22 degrees below freezing. Brrrr! Some Sit in Rain During summer showers, some birds such as marsh hawks sit in the rain with wings outspread apparently , enjoying the down pour. And upon one occasion a buzzard has been seen flying de liberately into an open perch during a rainstorm and sitting there with wings outspread. even shaking them, until the heavy shower was over, With a few, bathing is done from the wing. Such a one is the shrike. He will sit on a perch near the edge of a pool and sud denly fly out over the water and drop directly into it with a little splash and then rise and fly back to his perch, doing it over repeatedly. While fly fishing on the Yel lowstone, I have seen an osprey (fish hawk) apparently washing his feet on the wing perhaps to get rid of the fish slime. He flew just above the water and allowed his rather long legs to dangle into the water in flight as he raised and lowered him self. Where dews are heavy, some birds such as towhees, thrushes and flickers have been seen rub bing themselves over the wet grass .and that done, going through the motions of bathing, followed by preening Many birds, of course dust bathe particularly in the plain and desert countries. Actually, the pheasant, lark and partridge seem to prefer it to water bath ing. The pheasant and partridge in particular come back to the same spot repeatedly, hollowing out large dust basins in the soft soil. Birds don't necessarily limit themselves to one kind of bath ing flickers and sparrows, for example, enjoy both water and dust baths, even on the same day. In the northern climes such as in Scandinavia,' Scotland, Canada and New England, when the land is in the cold grip of winter' and the water is frozen over and the earth covered with snow, neither dust nor water bathing is possible. Then what? Quite logically some birds, like the raven I observed in Finland, find a substitute in snow.' Others have reported seeing hawk owls in Alaska perching in snow atop telephone poles and going through the motions - of bathing; or rooks in Scotland have been seen bathing in crisp powdery snow; and in New Eng- - - 1 1 111 6-4-5S Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the nam and address of tha writer although under certain circum stances the use of a pen name or Initial for publication is Dermis lible.

Hisiory Repeats Itself To the Editor: How truly his tory repeats. Way back when Grand Coulee dam was but a gleam in the eye of Rufus Woods, publisher-editor of the Wenat chee Daily World at Wenatchee, Wash., the Washington Water Power Co. had acquired power rights at Kettle Falls for a low dam but plenty big to stop the building of one at Grand Coulee if its boosters could be silenced. That was done, save for Rufus Woods and a few loyal diehards with him. At one time, his was the only daily paper in the whole U.S-A. plugging for Grand Coulee dam. Chambers of Commerce were swung away from him, including the one in his own home town. Ridicule was heaped on him" verging on the libelous, includ ing a whispering that, "did you hear about Rufus Woods? He's loosing his buttons over that white-elephant thing he wants built at Wild Goose Bill's ferry at Grand Coulee. Ho w'd we use all that power if we got it? Peo ple skip across the street when they see him coming. S'f act. Etc. etc." ' ' But Grand Coulee dam was built and Rufus Woods was there to see the Columbia rise to spiU over its crest and send its mighty power surging into the turbines, with some of it earmarked to re claim thousands of acres of fine but arid land. Came the war. Later Churchill, with cigar at a very unjaunty angle for he had to tell F.D.R. that the enemy was sinking our war supply ships faster than they were being built, even though our shipyards were work ing round the clock. What to do to reverse the deadly balance? Henry J. Kaiser provided one answer by putting the building of ships in his big yard on the Willamette on an assembly line. Others followed suit. Still others speeded up in various ways, especially here in the west where they had the ad ditional tremendous power of Gran Coulee high dam to back 'em up. Power for the aluminum producing pot-lines at Troutdale surging through pure silver bus bars worth thousands of dollars, copper too scarce. Looks like history is pounding out a warning at the Hells Can yon power site on the Snake. F. J. Clifford, 1211 West Main St. land, juncoes have been, seen taking such snow baths just as though they were in the water. After bathing, many birds anoint their plumage with oil. Perhaps1 you haVe seen a bird turn his long, flexible neck and nibble at the oil gland which is just above and in front of the root on the tail on the bird back. Works Oil Through Feathers While nibbling apparently, he squeezes out some oil and then works it through his feathers with his bill. Because he cannot get at his head, he rubs it against the oil gland vigorously and then scratches his bead feathers with his foot. But even more unusual most unusual to my way of thinking some birds carry their own special mix of powder, In the cockatoos this powder puff is scattered; in the herons it oc curs in definite areas. Actually, the puff consists of certain fea thers and the powder is made up of minute tips of feathery ends which break off contmuously and sift over the rest of the plumage. It is this "powder down" which gives the pale grey of the marsh hawk such a beautiful soft, whitish "bloom," and the her rons plumage such a filmy ap pearance. The down apparently keeps the feathers from matting, In handling, the "bloom" rubs off quickly. Surely, this powder plumage is the ultimate of feather per fection.

The first state picnic of the season has been an nounced a sure sign. Min nesota was first again this year. Dr. Elmo Stevenson, presi dent of Southern Oregon Col lege, has a nice way of putting things. So it's a pleasure to record something he told graduating seniors at Jacksonville High school last week. It went some thing like this: "Philosophers are those who know a little about many things. More and more they, know more and more about fewer and few er things, until finally they know everything about noth ing." At about the busiest time In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Let's start this piece off today with a direct quotation from Dr. Salk, the discoverer,of the polio vaccine. Asked by the reporters at a news conference in New York whether he was disap pointed by the rate at which vaccine is reaching the public, he replied: "We are so far ahead of where we ought to be that talk of going faster is like asking a rocket ship to go faster than it does." WE AMERICANS are an im patient lot. We want things done INSTANTLY, if not soon er. But I'm sure it will be a good thing if we keep clear in our minds the fact that it took a century for smallpox vaccine to cover the ground we're try ing to cover (in the case of polio vaccine) in a few months. TN TULSA, Okla., a 49-year-old grandmother has just been sentenced to life imprisonment for poisoning her fifth husband. She admitted giving deadly poi son doses to four of the five, but denied the fifth case. The jury refused to believe her and brought in a verdict of guilty. I think it's just as well to put her away for a while. This husband-poisoning business might grow into a habit with her it isn't checked. fUR PRESIDENT calls for V general display of the Stars and Stripes on June 14 which is Flag Day. In a proclamation he says: ; "Under the protecting folds of this banner, generations of Americans have enjoyed the blessings of liberty and justice that are inherent in our form of government." T EPS HEED Ike's call and dis play our flag at our homes and at our places of business on Flag Day, which is a week from next Tuesday. Deep respect for the flag of our country can do no American any harm. T HAVE the feeling that for a generation at least we Ameri cans have been passing through a phase in which we've been ASHAMED to show deep respect ior our nag just as we've been a bit ashamed to show DEEP feeling of any kind. During this period, we've probably been striving for sophistication and have harbored the illusion that displaying the flag at our homes or removing our hats when it passes isn't the way for "sophis ticated" people to act. If so, it's high time for s change. Respect for the Amer ican r lag is nothine to be ashamed of. CPEAKING OF "nh . M think most oldsters win agree mai a generation or so ago there was a tendency among students. particularly in high school and college, to be embarrassed by iuu GOOD grades. The fear was then Drevalent that if one's grades were too good one might be classed as a stockings weren't supposed to be Diue stocking", and blue stock ings weren't supposed to be very popular socially. I'M REASONABLY sure that x this generation of students is passing out of that chase. At least. I sincerely HOPE so. In the future, KNOWLEDGE will be POWER. It will take BRAINS to run the complicated machinery of the atomic energy age, which we are just entering. Those with accurate and well-trained minds wiU be the leaders of the future. Those WITHOUT such minds will be the hewers of wood and the drawers of water. Dr. VV. W. Youngson Succumbs In Portland Portland (U.R) Dr. W. W. Youngson, 85-year-old Methodist minister, died here Saturday of stroke. Dr. Youngson wag the dean of Methodist ministry in Port- land.. He founded and was first pastor of the Rose City Park Methodist church. Funeral services are tentat IV. ly set for 2:30 pjn. Monday at tha church h helped build. f the afternoon Friday, work men were painting crosswalk on the downtown streets. Traf fic was being Held up for blocks, pedestrians were in convenienced and things gen erally were messed up. "Why," a staff member In quired rhetorically, "can't they do it early in the morning or late In the evening?" One of the hits of the Med ford High school graduation ceremonies Thursday evening was a small dog, who undertook to become an integral part of the festivities. Somebody decided it probably was the reincarnation of a for mer graduate (or possibly the guardian angel of the class in disguise). Anyway, it took ita place at the head of the sober line of graduates, and led them to their place on the stands. As the ceremony concluded, it again took its place in the van, lead ing them off stage. Here's another dog storyt One huge canine, presum ably a Great Dane or some thing of the sort, has no diffi culty whatsoever getting a drink of water at the Sixth and Front st. intersection drinking fountain. He simply puts his forepaws up on the concrete step fixed for young sters, shoves his head over the fountain, and slurps away. Don't go away yet; here's an other dog (and cat) story. The National Humane society reports that 165 cats and dogs are born every minute in the United States a rate of al most a quarter-million each day. As a result, the society says, there are some 15,000,000 dogs and 25,000,000 cats in the coun try without homes. The society feels that the so lution -for the problem, for which it says the animals are blameless, is not slaughtering them, but cutting down the breeding rate. We wish we'd been In the backyard of e residence we know about one day recently. We'd loved to have watched as one of those plastic swimming pools, which stand up above the ground, burst at its seam and sent 5,000 gallons of water roaring across flowerbeds and lawns some 40 or 50 feet to the street. We think it would have been a wonderful and majestic sight. And it's a darned good thing nobody was too dose when it happened, for those 5,000 gallons weigh a total of about 50.000 pounds, and 50. 000 pounds of water swoosh ing by are not to be trifled with. (P. S.. The manufacturer has agreed to replace the swimming pool with a newer, sturdier model.) Dear Potluck: Did you ever hear of the Bible Ranch?" Of course that was only a nickname given to a hillside clearing at the turn of the century by the few rei maining "hardrock" miners near Gold Hill. A pattern of an open book was formed in a clearing of brush with a small gully in the cen ter hence the name. The hill side was planted to vineyard and was the talk of the town for many years. Eventually it re verted back to nature again, but the remains and dim outlines can still be distinguished about a half-mile from the Sams Val ley road north of Gold Hill, looking across the river. Bert Kissinger, 520 Boardman st. Color television may be a long way off. but one Medford area family already has gone it one or two better. They have the same thing, plus wide screen and stereophonic sound and they didn't have to put out a fabulous price for a set. Some time back they dis posed of some surplus proper ty to a drive-in theater, but they were farsighted enough to have some unusual provi sions inserted in the agree ment. , So now they can sit in their patio on warm summer nights and watch the drive-in theater screen. Sound is provided by their own personal sound box. One thing they appear to have missed. As far as we know, they have to provide their own popcorn. The Paul Conrads, who raise wbiteface cattle on a ranch off the Butte Falls highway, were puzzled last week. The Conrads found a new-born calf in the pasture and since all of their cows already had small calves, they decided the little newcom er must belong in the herd of a neighbor. But it didn't, and one of the cows in the Conrad herd drove off her first offspring, a! March calf, and began mother ing the day-old arrival. This seemed to add up to one cow having two calves, four months apart. The Conrads don't mind having one more animal ii their herd, but still aren't quite sure about the facta of wbitefaca cowdom, at Sh.
