MAIL TRIBUNE
Election on Tuesday
Next Tuesday is election day in and around Med
ford. There are three separate measures to be de
cided, and there may be some understandable con
fusion as a result.
Perhaps it can be cleared up by pointing out that
there are really three separate elections, one inside
Medford, the other two for residents outside Medford.
'J'HESE are the issues: .
INSIDE MEDFORD
There are two questions to be decided, but both
are included in the same ballot title. Stripped of their
legal verbiage they are :
Shall the city charter be amended to increase
from 12 to 15 mills the limit on taxes for general fund
purposes? And, shall the city be authorized to put into
effect a 1955-56 budget which is $66,510 in excess of
the 6 per cent limitation on increases in the general
fund?
QNLY registered voters living in the city will be
eligible to vote. The $66,510 requested is an addi
tional levy for one year only, and is being asked at the
recommendation of the citizens' budget committee to
provide services which the committee and the city
council feel are desired by the residents, and which
are felt necessary for a rapidly growing city.
The limitation increase is asked to permit, the
levying of the $66,510.
. , The money will be used for airport improvements
in cooperation with the Civil Aeronautics administra
tion ($10,400); for police department facilities
($2,000) ; for extra work in the engineering depart
ment to handle current projects and, if annexation is
approved, for work in that area ($2,000) ; expansion
and modernization of fire department facilities ($3,
300) ; general administration costs, including mos
quito control and a raise for the city manager ($2,
600) ; addition to the planning commission budget to
permit it to work cooperatively with the county ($5,
500) ; installation of traffic lights ($2,000); radar
equipment ($1,200, divided between traffic and po
lice) ; payment of state charges for information , on
auto licenses ($360); sending police officer to FBI
school ($1,200); codification and modernization of
the city's ordinances with the assistance of the League
of Oregon Cities, which would share the expense
($3,000), and starting an employees" life insurance
plan ($1,200).
QF THESE expenses, only a small amount could be
said to be in any way connected with the annexa
tion proposal. These are funds for police and fire de
partment improvement (which would be utilized ben
eficially, annexation or no), and the amount for
added engineering work, some of which would go for
jobs in the annexation area if the proposal passes.
As a result, the decision on ;this one-year levy
should be decided on its own merits, not in relation
to the annexation proposal, which is a separate ques
tion and one to be decided by those living in the
areas affected, not by Medford residents.
t .. -.
WE recommend that the levy be passed.
ir.KoKlT7 ontr svna A-f 4-Via if am a tiAnfoinAfl in
A Wuwljf ailj VllV VA UAV AVVlilO VAAVCA-AAAU AAA
the $$6,510 proposal could be eliminated without
serious injury to the city, but taken together, they
constitute a program of improvements and services
which Medford needs and deserves to have.
This is' a growing city in a growing area. If resi
dents are to be well served by the city government,
the price must be paid. The tax increase is not large,
and it is only for one year.
It may well be that the city, will have to request
an increase in its tax base at an election next year,
but in the meantime this amount will serve to keep
it operating at ah efficient and stable level.
OUTSIDE MEDFORD v V
Question . No. 1 Shall that portion of the Laurel
hurst addition which is not already inside the city of
Medford be annexed to the city?
Question No. 2 Shall the, 3,000-acre area
known as "South Medford" be annexed to the city?
THE Laurelhurst annexation is a small area, and
the residents are familiar with. their problems.
The decision is entirely up to them.
The "South Medford" area is a large area, and
here again the decision is up to the voters within the
area. The Mail Tribune favors the annexation pro
posal for reasons listed here previously.
Our only present comment is on the curious lack
of support the proposal has had from those in favor
of it and we know there are many.
THESE, then, are the four questions to be decided
Tuesday. . . v ' ,
They are important questions, and merit , the
thoughtful vote of every qualified voter, for to a
large extent the way they are decided will set the
course of development which Medford and its sur
rounding area will follow in the immediate future.

President's Outlook
On World Peace Tops
Good News for Week
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
The week's good and bad news
on the international balance
sheet:
THE GOOD
1. President Eisenhower made
statements in two speeches
which showed his increasing
optimism regarding the world
political outlook. At Skowhegan,
Maine, the President said that
the aspirations of the American
people toward freedom, the
rights of the individual man and
peace "are marching toward
achievement," tven though slow
ly and tortuously. At his press
conference in Washington Wed
nesday, the .President said that
he felt the chances for reducing
world tensions at the Big Four
"summit" meeting to be held in
Geneva, Switzerland, had in
creased because of a changed
attitude by Soviet Russia.
2. This apparently-changed at
titude by the Soviet government
was shown after Russian fighter
planes shot down a United States
Navy patrol plane in interna
tional waters off Alaska. Russian
Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M.
Molotov, who was attending
a United Nations anniversary
meeting in" San Francisco, at
once expressed regret at the in
cident. He offered in behalf of
the Soviet government to pay
half the damage done to the
American plane.
3. The troops of Premier Ngo
Dinh Diem of Southern Viet
Nam in Indochina drove forces
of the rebel Hoa Hao sect across
the border into Cambodia in one
of the biggest victories of the
small-scale civil war. The vic
tory greatly strengthened the
position of Diem, whom the Unit
Matter of FactY
THE COMER
Moscow Dmitri T. Shepilov,
editor and publisher of "Prav
da," is regarded in Washington
and London as the most prob
able successor to Soviet Foreign
Minister V. M. Molotov. . Inter
view by this reporter, Mr.
Shepilov rather angrily branded
this view of his future as "non
sense" and "irresponsible specu
lation." -
Whether or not Mr. Shepilov
is over-modest about his future,
the interview seems worth de
scribing. Everything Mr. Shepi
lov said was, of course, straight
down the Party line. This is
hardly surprising, since Mr.
Shepilov, as chief of the Rus
sian Communist party's news
paper, is in an excellent posi
tion to know the Party line.
AT ANY rate, future Foaeign
Minister or not, Mr. Shepilov
is regarded in knowledgeable
circles, as a coming man in the
younger generation of Soviet
leaders. And the interview,
straight down the line as it is,
gives some insight into the state
of mind of this generation of
new Soviet men.
Mr. Shepilov looks and talks
like a comer. He is a big, hand
some man with a tired middle
aged face, copious grey hair and
an authoritative manner of
speaking. He brushed off most
questions- about the forthcoming
Four Power Conference, saying
these . matters were covered by
Mr. Molotov's press . conference
in San Francisco. The interview
thus became a sort of long, doc
trinal debate, in which neither
side could wholly understand
the other. What follows does not
pretend to cover all that was
said, but only to give a fair
sample of what it is like to talk
things over with a Soviet
Communist leader.
WHY WAS the Soviet Union
always attacking the United
States for a policy of "position
of strength," when it was ob
vious that the Soviet Union it
self favored a strong military
position?
Mr. Shepilov: "From the very
first day the main line of our
policy has been ' peaceful co
existence with all countries in
spite of differences between so
cial systems."
How about Lenin's prediction
of a "series of fearful clashes"
between the capitalist and
Communist system? Were not
the powerful Soviet forces in
preparation for Just such
clashes? '
Mr. Shepilov: "From our point
of view, it is as inevitable as
night follows day that the capi
talist system will be replaced
by the socialist system."
But how about those "fearful
clashes"?- Mr. Shepilov replied
firmly that, there would be "no
export of revolution at all."
(This, was only one point where
both sides seemed to be talking
about different things.) : .
Mr. Shepilov went on to say
that it was "necessary to be
strong to defend our country,"
but added with obvious convinc
tion that this was "not a policy
of strength." The distinction re
mained a trifle fuzzy to this re
porter. ' -
Mr. Shepilov continuing: "We
have no need to use our eco
nomic strength to - impose our
ed States supports. Diem's troops
are reported now to be in control
of all of Southern Viet Nam.
THE BAD
1. The West German Parlia
ment gave a severe setback to
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
when he presented the first of
a series of bills to start rearma
ment. Members of aU parties
complained that Adenauer was
seeking too much personal power
over rearmament. They made it
plain that they intended to re
vise the bill radically. Dispatches
from Bonn, the West German
capital, said that it was feared
the attitude of the Bundestag
the lower house of Parliament
might foretell a delay of at least
two months in getting the re
armament program started.
2. Costly dock strikes tied up
many ships at British and Bel
gian ports. They were sympo
matic of labor unrest which
threatens to plague key westn
European countries for weeks if
not months. Dock workers at
northern British ports planned
a "march on London" to empha
size their defiance of union back-to-work
orders. ,
3. There was a flare-up of
fighting in the Formasa Strait,
recently quiet. Chinese Commu
nist jet fighter planes shot down
a Chinese Nationalist jet train
ing plane and riddled with bul
lets a Nationalist flying boat
which had been chartered by
the American Army for a flight
to the Maisu Islands off the Red
held mainland. There was specu
lation whether the Communists
might be planning, to try to cut
the., supply lines between For
mosa, the Nationalist island
stronghold, and the Nationalist
held coastal island group of
Matsu and Quemoy.
Stewart Alsop
system on anybody."
THEN HOW about the satellite
countries? "This question of
the so-called satellites is a
cracked old record." Anyway, it
is "impossible to believe that
any people could tolerate any
system against their will."
Again, or so it seemed to this
reporter, Mr. Shepilov spoke as
though genuinely convinced that
the Eastern European countries
adopted Communism of their
own free will. Throughout the
interview, there was a f aintly
haunted feeling of trying un
successfully to shout across an
unbridgeable gulf. " "
The talk turned to the Soviet
Union's disarmament proposal.
Mr. Shepilov suggested, politely,
that the United' States did not
"reaUy want to disarm." The So
viet Union, he insisted, was by
contrast absolutely sincere. "We
could stand 100,000,000 rubles a
year much more effectively for
peaceful competition with the
capitalist countries than for
arms."
What about inspection? "We
are prepared to make such a
system of control quite suffi
cient for all needs ... It is dif
ficult to imagine going further
than our recent proposal for in
spection in ports and railway
lines."
piNALLY, after two hours of
inconclusive iencing, vuuna,
wine and delicious caviar were
served.. But between gulps, the
fencing continued. The Iron Cur
tain, Mr. Shepilov' and his sub
ordinates contended, was really
of American manufacture. (The
McCarran-McLeod nonsense, it
must be admitted, gave Mr:
Shepilov some talking points.)
Then there was a last shot m the
dark. Might not Mr. Malenkov
have been right 'about a hydro
gen war destroying world civili
zation? This seemed to touch a
sensitive nerve.
"We consider," said Mr. Shepi
lov with great weight, "that
civilization will not die. Instead,
the more bases the Americans
establish, the- more quickly will
capitalism die, because the peo
ple will rise against American
imperialism." . . t .
The interview ended shortly
thereafter, with many expres
sions of hope for better rela
tions. No one seemed to see any
element of contradiction be
tween such a hope and Mr.
Shepilov's confident prediction.
For this reporter the interview
served to underline at least one
fact that whatever change
there may have been in Soviet
policy, it is in no sense what
ever a basic or doctrinal change.

In the Day's Hews
BY FRANK JENKINS
President Eisenhower is back
in Washington feeling fine and
full of pep. '
He comes back loaded down
with gifts. In the six days he
spent in New England, he got
two heifers, a flock of chickens
and so many other tokens that
he suggested kiddingly on the
last day that somebody ought to
give him an old truck to haul it
all home.
A MONG the gifts was an an
tique gilded eagle for his
Gettysburg farm. It was pre
sented to him by Governor
Muskie of Maine. It goes without
saying that it was appreciated.
But
It was what might be called
an OFFICIAL gift. It was pre
sented to him by a public offi
cial, who got his name and his
picture in the papers and prob
ably got himself on TV, along
side the President of the United
States. ... .
The other stuff came from the
people. President Eisenhower
being what he is that is to say,
being "Ike," which is an affec
tionate nickname bestowed upon
him spontaneously and NOT
built up by. press agents I'm
sure it can be said that these
other gifts came to him from the
HEARTS of the people.
For that reason I'll bet he
values them far above gold and
precious stones.
CPEAKING of presidents
' ' There's the bank resident in
St. Louis, Park, Minnesota, who
ior years, just on the chance of
a holdup, kept a rifle handv in
his office.
The chance came vesterdav
when a bandit held up one of
the tellers, grabbed sa.OOfl and
i an like crazy. The bank presi
dent reached for his trusty rifle
and as the holdup artist went
through the door numned four
shots after him.
He scored four clean misses.

of words to express that he
missed. Shooting even a fleeing
thief would be quite a burden
on one's soul.
......
In Ely, Nevada last night a
flash fire destroyed two gam
bling clubs and hree cafes all
of which, probably, in the free
and and easy Nevada manner
were packed with slot machines.
The fire spread so fast that
the game operators didn't have
time to grab even the folding
money off the card tables, not
to mention the hard cash in the
innards of the slots.
Estimated lofs (probably exag
era ted $750,000!
. '
T KNOW, of course, that some-
body WORKED to. earn that
money .in j the first place. But
it seems different from burning
up three-quarters of a million
dollars worth of hay which in
the cattle state of Nevada would
have represented R E A L
WEALTH.
Gambling money isn't REAL
money. If you win it today, the
law of averages will see to it
that you lose it tomorrow.
..
SPEAKING of gambling, I'd
like to offer my congratula
tions to the members of the Jack
son county court, 'who have re
fused to endorse a proposal to
establish a dog racing track in
the Ashland area.
Dog racing as DOG RACING
wouldn't draw cash customers
enough to pay the ticket takers'
wages. It fluorishes because of
the pari-mutuel machine gam
bling that goes along with it.
The members of Jackson
county's court, I think, displayed
sound business thinking in re
fusing to go along with the dog
track idea. From the purely
business standpoint, Southern
Oregon wants no truck with
gambling.
Gambling creates no new
wealth. - It merely REDIS
TRIBUTES wealth that has been
created by the application of
human labor and ingenuity to
the natural resources of our reg
gion which is the classical eco
omists' definition of wealth.

On Tax Equalisation
To the Editor: I operate a farm
on the Dark Hollow road and on
account of drought am dried
completely out. This year my
county taxes amounted to 1
of the entire county tax collected
in the Griffin Creek district.
Under no stretch of imagination
do I own 1100 of the value of
District No. 2. This tax statement
came only a few days before the
taxes were due. I tried to get
relief through the assessor's of
fice, then to the. county court,
with absolutely no success. I
wrote to the State Tax Commis
sion and was given consideration
and promised on the new apprai
sal the valuation would be equal
ized oh' all property, thus' giving
me relief. Unless all property is
appraised as to the true value
the tax load on many of us can
no longer be carried.
In Jackson county the real es
tate has already been appraised
by the State Tax Commission.
The actual value level obtained
from appraisal represents the
market value or what the prop
erty can be sold for on the open
market. On real estate 70 of
the market value or appraisal
value is taken and called true
cash value. Next the Jackson
county quota of. 25 or V of ap
true cash value is taken and ap
pears on -your tax statement as
assessed value. On personallprop
erty a straight 25 or Vi of ap
praisal value appears on the tax
statement as assessed value.
The assessor says he hasn't
time to get the orchards on the
tax rolls under the new ap
this year, but he sure had time
to get the rest of us. If you are
not sure, watch your tax state
ments. We are appraised at every
cent our property is worth and
more too.
The State Tax Commission's
order to get the orchards on the
tax rolls under the news ap
praisal must be obeyed. All
property must be put oh the tax
rolls at the same equalized as
sessment. If this is hot done, the
State Tax Commission has au
thority to take over the asses
sor's office and straighten this
tax mess out.
We can pay only our share of
these taxes.

Wants An Explanation
To the Editor: In a recent edi
torial you criticized the oppon
ents of annexation as being emo
tional rather than logical in their
arguments.; Perhaps you were
right to a certain extent. A great
deal of resentment has been felt
at the. way in which , this entire
matter was handled by the city
council.: : y; ' :
For instance, why Is it neces
sary to annex the orchard! on
the south side? There certainly
is no sanitation problem there,,
additional fire and police pro
tection is considered "superfluous
by the . owners, and the taxes
would be exorbitant. 4-
' But I am especially interested
in the Laurelhurst addition.
There is an ; irrigation ditch
which runs. 200. feet north of
Stevens. All the property runs
to -that line. Why then was the
boundary set at 150 feet north
of Stevens leaving part, of aU
the property lying in the county?
It not only cuts off part of the
undeveloped lands but . goes
through at least one house. As I
understand it, we wiU have to
pay taxes to the county on that
small piece. of land. It seems un
fair that we have to pay rural
fire and other taxes on land
which is practically worthless
and of almost no value if we
wanted to sell. , .
This whole plan of annexation
seems hastily prepared and poor
ly set-up. In most of the cases'
where I have taUced to others,
that seems to be the main ob
jection. T would like to know the
"logical" explanation . for some
of these positions taken by the
council. :; ; vf

Against Her Husband's Wishes
- To the Editor: Against my hus
band's wishes, I feel I really
must say as much as I can in as
small a space as possible. It's
so amusing to hear someone
shout how wonderful it wiU be
when we are enjoying the great
'privileges' of city life.
Surely the person who uttered
the word "cleanliness" has been
too busy to go past the dirty
taverns on the way to the show,
to see traffic held up by a drunk
who happened to see an old
friend in the traffic, before the
light turned green.
Clean, you say, when restau
rants and whiskey joints are
housed under the same roof.
Clean they say when the Front
Street of every town is only tho
back door of the whiskey lounge.
And we must keep our cattle
300, feet from, other people's
property. Listen mister! We own
registered and grade cows that
I don't want people to be closer
to them than 500 feet.

means to a child to be around
