MAIL TRIBUNE Is The SP Boss of Oregon? Public Utility Commissioner Charles E. Heltzel announces he may appeal of Marion County against the "Friendly Southern Pacific, to the state Supreme Court, or hold his own public hearing as the court suggested, as a prelude to the commissioners further action. Why not do both? TPHAT is : why not hold the hearing at once. Then if the evidence justifies, repeat the department's ruling that the railroad's determination to deprive all Southern Oregon of rail passenger service, would be against the public interest. Then, assuming the court would again protect the Southern Pacific from such action by the state authority take the legal ques tion to the Supreme Court for final determination. This would seem a sensible and proper procedure. This much is certain : If as Judge Sloper declares, the Oregon Legisla ture did not intend to give the PUC power to forbid discontinuance of passenger service, when in the opinion of the department such action would be against the public interest, then he must have a far more nenetratinp; and inclusive insiarht into the minds and motives of the members of the Legislature of 50 years ago, than the people ol the state, or the records of that period would indicate. rOR the original Act was passed in 1907, in the Teddy Roosevelt and Hiram Johnson era and wras then known as the Railroad Commission, being com posed of three members, instead of one. The popular demand which resulted in this en actment at that time certainly entered around the determination of the people of this state, that the Southern Pacific should not rule Oregon as it had California but the people of Oregon, should rule the Southern Pacific. There was at that time or since no desire to deny the SP railroad, or any other public utility, its legitimate and legal rights. But there was a desire and an extremely strong one to protect the public interest against the encroachments of the "railroad trust," to limit its monopolistic greed and "public be damned" attitudes, and to compel the railroad by law to consider its obligations in the field of public service as well as in the field of high finance. THEREFORE it is difficult to believe the members of the state legislature in Teddy Roosevelt's time or soon thereafter did not wish to give the state utilities department the power to COMPEL the South ern Pacific or any other public utility monopoly to fulfill its obligations to the people of the state and if this were refused, the power to compel the fulfill ment thereof. H OWEVER if through loophole was left in the law allowing a railroad (or any other public -utility) to disregard its public obligations, modify its service or abandon same en tirely, as it might wish, and disregard also an order from the state authority NOT to take a certain action, then as Commissioner Heltzel suggests, the problem becomes a legislative one. AS STATED the above is difficult to believe. But if the Oregon courts should finally so rule then this "insufficiency in the law" should be correct ed at the earliest possible moment, the loophole in the PUC act should be plugged up, and in lieu of a special session of the Legislature, the next regular session, would be the proper time and place to do it. If the members of the Legislature 50 years ago did fail to do what their constituents at that time undoubtedly wanted them to do, and failed to give adequate authority over the public utilities legis lation with teeth in it then those teeth should be supplied as soon as circumsances permit and it would not be a bad idea at the same time to reinforce and sharpen them up a bit ! R.W.R. Engagement Ring for Princess? R.A.F. Group Captain Peter Townsend,-. accord ing to British press reports, may be among the guests at a royal family party for Princess Margaret of Great Britain at Balmoral Castle on Sunday, Aug. 21. The implied significance is that this will be Princess Margaret's 25th birthday. By act of Parliament the assent of the Queen is necessary to make valid the marriage of any descend ant of George II .under the age of 25, except the issue of princesses married into foreign families. After 25, the royal assent is not necessary if a year's notice has been given and if neither house of Parliament dis approves. One barrier to the engagement of Margaret was removed in 1953. Under the Regency Act of 1937, Princess Margaret, as the person next in line of suc cession to the throne who was of full age, would have been regent for Prince Charles if Queen Elizabeth II died or became incapacitated during his minority. But Parliament two years ago amended the Regency Act to make the Duke of Edinburgh the potential regent for his son. X7HEN the amendment was proposed, the London ' Economist stated: "The practical and emotional reasons for making the Duke of Edinburgh the regent . . . are obvious and sound. They have nothing to do with the rumors about Princess Margaret's matri monial wishes, and the amendment of the Regency Act will leave the Princess third in line to the throne and second in line for the regency." R.W.R. Thurtday, August 18, I95S the decision of Judge Sloper his ruling and in favor of some error or oversight this In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Teletype chatter: At Walla Walla, officials are probing into the cause of the latest uprising at the Washing ton state prison. Meanwhile, at Tacoma, State Senator Neil Hoff has asked for a full shakedown at the prison and charges that there is no excuse for prisoners HAVING WEAPONS. I quite agree with him. M ORE teletype chatter: In Bladensburg, Md., the other day a small cocker spaniel crawl ed into a pipe that protruded into a ditch and kept on crawling until the pipe narrowed and the little animal got stuck. Its howls of distress could be heard quite clearly, and after a while its plight was diagnosed and its location was spotted. Workmen then tore up the pave ment of a street to reach the pipe and free the dog. It was rushed to an animal hospital with a police escort and was pronounced hungry and weak but otherwise OK. TN a Pacific Coast city the other day, a motorist swerved sharply to avoid- a dog. that was crossing the street and paying no attention to traffic. The swerve threw the motorist's car out of control and he smashed into a power pole. - His car was wrecked and he was badly battered, but will es cape without permanent dis figurement. pOOLISHNESS? Sentimentalism? I wouldn't say so. People who are kind to animals are apt to be kind to people. We need MORE, rather than less, kindliness in this world. I NCIDENTAL information: Oregon ranks third in the United States in production of DRY ICE. The center of the in dustry is Ashland, in our own State of Jefferson. nO MAKE dry ice, carbon-di-oxide gas is compressed to a liquid in several stages and cooled between each stage. Carbon-dioxide snow is made by evaporating some of the liquid. The snow is then compressed into solid blocks of dry ice. Ashland's raw material supply for this material comes from wells whose water is rich in carbon-dioxide. Water from the wells is pumped into separators in which the gas is liberated from the water. It is then put through, the compression-and- cooling process which ends up in the ice blocks. As everyone knows, the par ticular merit of dry ice is that when it melts it doesn't leave a messy liquid behind. nUR State of Jefferson is RICH in raw materials of all kinds, including strange and unusual ones such as dry ice. In Douglas county, there is a mountain of low-grade nickel ore that has re sulted in the investment of S30,- 000,000 of Eastern capital, Chrome ore is scattered widely over Jackson and Josephine and probably other counties. In Klamath county a hot water well has been brought in whose flow is sufficient to provide hot water enough for irrigation of a considerable area of land if it should turn out that hot water irrigation has commercial pos sibilities. Some day some smart operator will use Klamath's abundant hot water to heat cheaply huge greenhouses for large-scale production of flow ers and winter vegetables. OISKIYOU and Modoc counties have mountains of volcanic glass. Pumice for which impor tant volume uses will some day be found is scattered every where. By this time, everybody knows about Lake county uran ium. Keep your eye on the State of Jefferson. Knowland Sees GOP Win Without Ike Long Beach, Calif. OJ.R) Sen. William F. Knowlandv (R Calif.) today foresaw a Repub lican victory in the 1956 presi dential election "with or with out" President Eisenhower on the ballot. The Senate minority leader. at a news conference yesterday, attacked the theory that success of the Republican party depends on President Eisenhower run ning for reelection. "A nation of 160,000,000 can't say there's only one man," Know- land declared. The Republican leader said he knew of no differences of opin ion between the President and himself in the field of foreign policy. "We both have the same basic policy, 'peace with honor,' " Knowland said.' "and as long as it continues there will be no disagreement." POOR EXCUSE Concord, N. H. (U.R) John Adams of Concord was fined $1? for speeding yesterday de spite an excuse that he was try ing to elude a car that was fol lowing him. The pursuing car was driven by a policeman. Jackson Couniy Eighth in Sales Of Bonds in July Jackson county ranked eighth out of Oregon's 37 counties in the July sales of Series E and H savings bonds, and holds the same position in the total sales of bonds through July 31, ac cording to Morris B. Leonard Sr., county chairman. Jackson county led her neigh bors by selling S82.300 in bonds, compared to Josephine county's S52.562 taUy and Klamath coun ty's $38,338 July sales. The county failed to equal bond sales for June, 1954 which amounted to $98,866, but surpassed by S142.252 the total sales through July 31 over the same 'period last year. Josephine and Klam ath counties passed their half year marks with earnings of $46,047 and $227,367, respec tively. Highest Increase According to Ted Gamble, chairman of the Oregon Savings Bonds committee, from the U.S. Treasury department, Oregon continues to have the highest percentage of increase in sav ings bonds sales in the nation. "Total Orego sales of E and H bonds for the first-half of this year were 40 per cent more than for the same period a year ago", Gamble said. Florida fol lowed with an increase of 32 per cent to achieve second place. National sales at" the end of June were 14 per cent ahead of June last year, Gamble added. Annexation Plan Study Scheduled At Jacksonville Jacksonville The city coun cil this week agreed to meet with Paul Culbertson and Lance Pitts to consider annexation of about 49 acres of land just East of the city limits. Culbertson, owner of the land, and Pitts, realtor, requested the area be annexed because they plaii to build a sub-division, construction of which is sched uled to start in the near future. Culbertson and Pitts said they plan to start building about 45 houses on 15 acres soon. To Coordinate Plans The meeting between the council, Culbertson and Pitts will be to coordinate plans re garding city water, streets and related problems. The meeting will be held Aug. 23. " The council also accepted the appointment of Mrs. Jean Hew lett as city recorder replacing B. J. Christianson, who resigned because of other business com mittments. Christianson has been city recorder for two years. Mrs. Hewlett's appointment be comes effective Sept. 1. Chris Drugs of Jacksonville was authorized as a water col lection agency. Previously Chris tianson made water collections at his drug store as city recorder. He .was appointed to make col lections instead of the city re corder. Rainmaking Project Studied af Yreka Yreka The city board of supervisor's discussed the pos sibilities of carrying out a weath er modification project to in crease the amount of precipita tion during a recent meeting. . The project, actively supported by Park R." Shelley, Yreka, would cost about $23,000 for one year of rain-making for the Shasta valley. According to Shel ley, the cost is broken down into a formula for 15 cents an acre for alfalfa and 10 cents an acre for grain and other categories. The operation would be carried out about seven months a year. Shelley stated that three dis tricts in the state of Washington had benefited from weather modification projects. One such area, the Horse Heaven Water Development association in Washington has benefited with from six to 14 inches of rain since their project went into effect, he said. Shelley added that the vast majority of the farmers were for a project of that kind. Last spring Shelley passed a petition among farmers desiring approv al of modification work.

Ashland Council Adopts One-Way Street Proposal Ashland The Ashland city council this week adopted an ordinance ordering a new north bound one-way route through the city and a wider North Main st.

' Tax on Vacation Pay for Young People Explained Young people working during summer vacation who are likely to earn more than $600 before school starts again need not quit in order for parents to retain an exemption deduction, according to R. C. Granquist, district direc tor of the Internal revenue in Portland. Providing the parent has fur nished over half the total cost of his child's support for the year, he may claim an exemption re- gardless of how much the child earns, Granquist said. "We have reports of both par ents and employers telling work ing children they'll have to quit their jobs before they earn $600. They can work right up to the reopening 'of school if they want to," Granquist added. "The chil dren, however, may have to pay a small tax." Graquist warned that to come under the rule, young people over 19 must be "bona fide stu dents at recognized educational institutions, or pursuing a full time farm training course." He added that a dependent child is also entitled to an exemption de duction for himself on his ewn separate return. But, if he is married and files a joint return with his wife, no dependency ex emption may be claimed by the parent. United Air Lines Plans Jet Service San Francisco '(U.R) United Air Lines expects to provide five and one-half hour service from coast to coast by 1960, using a fleet of 25 jet airliners. President W. A. Patterson said United will order 25 jet transports by the end of the year at a total cost of $125,000,000. He said the decision to buy the jets is the most important in the airline's history. "If we make a mistake," he said, "we're busted." The jets will be either Boeing 707s or Douglas DC8s. He ex pects them to be in service by the summer of 1960. Delivery will be completed by the follow ing year. "We'll have some service in the summer of 1960 and within six months we plan to link Hono lulu, San Francisco, Denver. Chi cago and New York," Patterson said. Yours FREE, Without Obligation WW "Facts Every Family Should Know About Funerals and Interments," published by the Association of Better Business Bureaus.

Frank Morgan - Harold Snodgrass FUNERAL DIRECTORS CHAPEL MORTUARY Across from the Courthouse Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address ot the writer ilthoueh under certain circum stances the use ot a Den name or initial for publication is Dermis nble The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with' an eye to clarification and condensa tion Letters submitted for DubHca tion must not exceed 400 words Why Segregation in Hospitals To the Editor: It seems to be more or less settled that Jackson county is to have a new and modern Community hospital to be located at Medford. There is little question about the need for such a hospital. The question does exist cov ering the financing and building of such a hospital at public ex pense, and then permitting only a certain group of our local physicians to have staff privi leges in this hospital. Yet, the Board of Directors of this new hospital are looking to the gen eral public for a generous amount of financial backing. Hundreds of our local citizen will never be able to find a place in this new Community hospital, unless they decide to forsake their own family phy sician, in whom they have con fidence, and are willing to ac cept the services of another physician, who is permitted to practice in the new Community hospital, but whom the citizen may not have met, or in whom, for one reason or another he may have no confidence. We formerly lived in the South where the question of segregation has been an3 ever present one for many years, but Medford, Oregon, prides itself on being a definitely enlight ened community. Yet, even here, we are forced to face segrega tion of physicians and surgeons regarding staff privileges in this new Community hospital. We cannot understand the motives back of the move, (unless it is definitely a selfish motive) and we assuredly would " not favor spending one cent for the sup port of this'new Community hos pital movement under such con ditions. Two main schools of medicine . exist today; the allopathic or larger and older school, and the osteopathic or newer school. The osteopathic school was created by an M.D. some eighty years ago in an effort to offer the pub lic, not only what was being of fered by the - allopathic school, but something entirely new to supplement the old idea of med ical treatment. 9 ' The standards of the two schools are now so nearly iden tical in the subjects covered, the years spent in study, research and internship, that only an expert could distinguish the dif ference when comparing the end product a finished phy sician and surgeon. So why the segregation idea in a Commun ity hospital? We most assuredly arg in favor of both schools being given staff privileges in our own Community, publicly financed and supported hospital. O C. R. Adamson, 839 East Jackson, Medford. He Sees A Bright Future q To the Editor: Commenting on your editorial on timber products of August 15th: . Some years ago I hauled fire fighters in my car to the fires or to points from which they would set off afoot carrying a limited supply of food and tools, some times taking a day or two to reach the fire. In those days more timber was burned in for est fires than is now being logged by our industries. Our rnodern ways of control ling fires plus reforestation, I am sure will provide for my great grandchildren here in Oregon forest industries far surpassing what we now have. I predict that possibly in five years, not more than ten, we will see the logger going over the mountain with a 'copter pick ing out the prime trees, also bringing them in direct to the mill, limbs and all, where all of it will be used. We will say good bye to dozers and trucks, in mod ern logging. Elwood Hussey, Cave Junction, Ore.
