MAIL TRIBUNE Editorial Correspondence San Francisco, Nov. 3: Margaret surprised everyone but herself. She not only announced she would not wed Group Captain and Commoner Peter Townsend, but she made the romance-shattering announcement with a smile. In fact, according to times reliable British press, the sister of the Queen appeared buoyant and relieved, while the party of the second part appeared quite the reverse dejected and depressed. If these facts are correct then the result was not only best for all concerned, but as nearly perfect as one could expect under the circumstances. For if the responsibilities to church and state were more important to the Princess than the man she loved and who loved her, would not have been very If young Townsend' doesn't realize, this today he probably doesn t he will when he regains his emotional equilibrium and the clouds of romance roll by as eventually such clouds always do. As for Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother this outcome must be pretty much what they hoped and prayed for. Knowing a spirited and independent have doubted this would ever happen. The Archbishop of Canterbury must be as jubilant as the dignity and sanctity of his position allow, wThile the Government, particularly Premier Eden, must be greatly relieved. So as Mr. Shakespeare that ends well." In fact the only person this romantic historical incident in British histoiy this department feels genuinely sorry for is a certain former King of England and now the demoted and dispirited Duke of Windsor. It must have been a terrific blow to the Duke to have his favorite niece refuse to follow his own exam ple, and instead do what in all likelihood he often has wished he had done, but at the zero hour didn't have the good sense, character So to paraphrase the ending: "And they lived happily forever after but NOT together !" ' We can't agree with some of our Democratic friends and optimists that whether President Eis enhower runs again or doesn't, the Democrats are bound to win. That, as we see it, is wishful thinking. Viewing the situation objectively as this "INDE PENDENT" paper always does! we would say if "Ike" runs again, no one now visible on the horizon can beat him. The. only thing that could beat him would be a depression not necessarily a financial crash like that of '29, but a widespread extension of economic dislocation now evident on the. farms and in certain textile areas in the rest of the country. The American people as a whole when satisfied with a party administration vote to retain it, when not satisfied vote to turn it out. There is-always -much oratory' about issues pro and con, but as a general rule the voters en masse pay little attention to the talk, but vote their FEELINGS rather than any care fully thought-out convictions. Therefore, as things stand today and "Ike" runs, nothing, as we see it, could defeat him on a platform of "peace and pros perity." But if conditions that now exist in most of our rural and some of our mining and mauf acturing areas should spread over the country, as a. whole, there would be such general dissatisfaction probably noth ing could elect him. (However . we grant any such outcome economically is highly unlikely.) . If President Eisenhower on the other hand should decide not to run, that would be a different kettle of fish entirely. Then the result would depend consid erably upon the choice of his successor. If Vice-President Nixon should be the nominee, we doubt if even the battle cry of "peace and prosperity" would be sufficient to put him in the White House. There seems to be a general feeling even here in his home state of California that in his present position of official greeter and public relations man Dick is ok, but there is no popular demand to see him go any further, cer tainly not to the White House ! Lest there be any misunderstanding, we hasten to state that . the Mail Tribune today, as it has in the past, believes Secretary of Agriculture Benson is con sistent and courageous in his farm policy, and in his effort to avoid over-production and the piling up of unusable surpluses he is right. The fact remains that whether he is right or isn't, if farm prices continue to decline and dissatisfaction among the farmers con tinues, the Republicans may well lose the electoral votes of half a dozen farm states they won three years ago and in 1956 as in every presidential election year votes are what will count. Speaker Rayburn is a great power in the Demo cratic party and Senator Morse isn't. But we believe in the matter of campaign policy Oregon's senior Senator is right, namely: The Democrats should not withhold criticisni of Republican policies, because of the great personal popularity of President Eisenhower and his endorse ment of them. That, as we see it, wTould be a cowardly course and a fatal one. They should,' as they have done, support President Ike where they believe he is right and oppose him where they believe him wrong, letting the chips fall where they may. After all a presi dential election is not a popularity contest or should not be it is a contest to decide wThat course of action sh'ould be adopted to best promote the welfare of the country and. ALL the people in it. R.W.R.

Here there are no doubts, hesitations or equivocations, no complex per sonal stage settings or dignified pretenses or elaborate political strategems. Estes Kefauver badly wants to have another try for the Presi- dency and he makes no bones about it. But he is not quite sure that the great gamble is a 1 together worthwhile, or even feasible this year, and again, he makes no bones about it. It is as simple as that.

Nicaragua's president Anastasio Somoza says Peron is a good friend and is welcome to come to Nicaragua if he wants to. Peron's presence in Paraguay has displeased some members of the Paraguayan government. TT'S A GOOD sign when dicta- tors have to flee hither and yon in the world in an effort to find some place to lay their un easy heads. I SUPPOSE you've read about the hoards of gold and jewels that have been found in Peron's secret caches. It is to be pre sumed that there were other hoards that weren't found that were probably got safely away to Paris, or the Riviera, or some where else where they can be tapped when needed. That's fascism for you. Fas cism and communism are broth ers under the skin. Both are based on exploitation of the many for the benefit of the few. F IOR better or worse It will be better if wise, hon est, sincere, able leaders are chosen in Argentina and WORSE if unprincipled demogogs get in to power Peron has been thrown out in the Argentine. Here's a prediction: If we can keep down the shooting long enough, COMMU NISM WILL SOMEDAY BE THROWN OUT OF RUSSIA AND CHINA. Communism and fascism are too foul to endure forever in the modern world. SENATE hearings on federal flood disaster insurance are moving from Washington to New York and New England, with New York's governor Averell Harriman scheduled to testify in New York. Democratic Senator Herbert Lehman, the senate investigating committee's acting chairman, re oorts that representatives of some private insurance compa nies have also been invited to testify. FLOOD insurance has a big nnlitical aDDeal in heavily set tled areas where disastrous floods are more or less constant. Since those who live on the hills have little flood risk whereas those who live m the creek and river bottoms face a constant menace, it has been hard to ap ply thebasic insurance principle of spreading the risk because private companies have been loath to enter the risky flood in surance field. So in the flood areas the demand is rising that the government take over the job. If it does, I hope flood insur ance can be made to pay its way instead of resting on a federal subsidy. .

" In the Day's News need money to make the only kind of campaign I'm able to make, which is a campaign in the primaries. As for the third, and maybe the most important thing to think about, is whether some one else wUl pick up the prize after I've half killed myself to win the primaries." It seems a fair prediction that the claims of family life will be rather rapidly forgotten.if Kefauver decides he can solve the other two problems listed in his down-to-earth analysis. Of these two, the problem of money is immediate and press ing. Among our other politcos, any discussion of money prob lems is considered to be crude and vulgar in the last degree. The dollars to finance the large headquarters, to pay the busy staffs, to meet the bills for the motorcades and the television appearances, . are always . sup posed to materialize as though by magic, like the ectoplasm at a spiritualist medium's seanace. NOT so with Kefauver. He talked about the campaign fi nances with the same solemn, dedicated interest that most peo ple show in discussing the state of their digestion. Above all, he is pained by the memory of end ing his last try for the Presi dency with no cash in the till and about $36,000 of unpaid debts. "I raised more money to pay part of it," he said. "I compro mised part of it. And part of the debt I took over myself and I'm just now finishing paying it off. I won't make another try unless I can raise all the money I think I need. I honestly don't know now, whether I can or not, al though I think I can." Assuming the availability of the cash to pay the bills, Kefau ver professed to be extremely confident of his ability to beat the Democratic front-runner, Adlai Stevenson, in the primary battles that lie ahead. California, where Stevenson is reported to have decided to enter, and Wis consin, where Stevenson is being strongly pressed to enter by his political advisers, are regarded by Kefauver as the most import ant ririmaries. He claimed that the declara tion for Stevenson by most of the California Democratic leaders had actuaUy helped the Kefau ver cause out there. - "The peo ple," he remarked, "don't like to be told who they ought to be for; they like to make their own choice." But while he put his faith in the people in California, he admitted that he looked to the leaders in Wisconsin, where he has a considerable, carefully preserved personal organization, built around the 1952 Kefauver delegates from Wisconsin. "Although I believe I can win in the primaries, it's a man-killing job to try for a nomination by the primary route, "Kefauver added a little glumly. ."There were davs. last time, when I just didn't think I could last out until Chicago. And that's why 1 want to be pretty sure someone else isn't going to come along and pick up the prize I've fought to win in the primaries. rT OTHER words, although he refused to spell it out too pre cisely, Kefauver feels an intense distaste for the role aUotted to him by the wily Carmine De Sapio. He most emphatically not want to pour out sweat and treasure to weaken Adlai stpvpnson in the primary fights, tnr thp extremely hollow pleas ure of seeing Governor AvereU Harriman, of New YorK, tase over wnere aieveiisuu and thus win the great reward nn the other hand, js.eiauver Hoes not auite see how he can insure against this misfortune.

Support Dave Holmes To the Editor: This letter con cerns the future progress and policies of the Talent Irrigation District as an important eco nomic factor in the lives of all of us. The undersigned endorse Da vid H. Holmes for this position. Dave has operated a dairy in this area for approximately three years. He now lives on a stock farm and is raising cattle. He is an experienced orchardman and is personally familiar with sound and successful business op erations. He is intelligent, honest and concerned about the welfare of the District and he has specific suggestions to make with refer ence to improvements in opera tion of the District. 1. He believes that more positive action should be taken on the Talent Project. Government re quests for factual data should be met promptly, and strong, vigor ous action should at all times be exerted by the manager and the board of directors. 2. There should be a complete review and analysis of manage ment policies and procedures! The management should not con duct itself as a closed corpora tion to the exclusion of the mem bership. 3. There should be a complete survey and inventory of all prop erty and facilities of the District to permit intelligent determina tion of future needs. 4. An advisory board of dairy men, stockmen and fruitmen, and small homeowners should be set up to consult with and ad vise the Board on problems fac ing the District. This will enable the Board to keep more closely in touch with the varied needs of its water users and their de grees of satisfaction with work being done. 5. There should be better utili zation of water in the District, Many problems are common to all water users and when a user is confronted with a problem common to other users, he should know the policy of the District will be consistent. For these reasons, the follow ing constituting, the Committee for the Election of David - H, Holmes as Director of the Tal ent Irrigation District, respect fully recommend voting for Mr, Holmes at the election at the of fices of the Talent Irrigation Dis trict on Tuesday, Nov. 8, be tween 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. COMMITTEE FOR DAVID H.

On Population To the Editor: Your editorial on population was quite interest ing. The facts are that the earth is overpopulated now. Steps should have been taken at least 30 years ago to keep down the population. The U.S. .Census bu reau predicts a population of 336,000,000 in the year 2000. If the rest of the earth keeps up with us in our mad race to destruction, there will be 5,376 million people in 2000 and 191, 042 million in 2500. I do not be lieve that even the most opti mistic of your food experts can provide for such numbers. A California foundation has made a study and states that we take 1,000,000 acres out of pro duction every year. We have 400,000,000 acres in cultivation In 400 years we will have no land to cultivate. The Author of Creation tells us, "Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth." Replen ish means to preserve, - restore and replace. It does not mean to destroy or tear down, nor to replace 100 people with 10,000. In times past, Egypt had three or four times as many people as it has now. An expedition to the Arabian desert bordering Egypt dug up ruins of 140 'cities and found indications of that many more. That proves that the re gion was fertile with a climate that produced two or more crops a year. As the population in creased, they cut down timber, increased herds, and raised crop after crop on the land until they exhausted the soil, overgrazed their pasture, and left nothing that would hold moisture in the soil. So the cultivated land and pastures dried up and crops fail ured. So the people were forced to leave. They swooped down and destroyed other people who were less developed and had plenty of land. The only safety for humanity is that no woman be allowed to have more than two children, and that the law should be rig idly enforced, and should be in full force by 1960. We can increase the popula tion as rapidly as possible and create a nice little hell on earth for our children and grandchil dren. We can sacrifice our de scendants. Possibly nothing too serious will happen in -our -life-, times, so what do we care? If there are men and women on earth with reason and under standing who love their children and want to see the nation sur vive more than 100 years, they will be doing something useful for a change.

We invite interested persons to visit our school, which is located- at 606 Victory st., Medford, Ore. .Mrs. Donald B. Whalin, President, Medford Junior Service League. Chain Reaction To the Editor: Shucks, this chain-reaction ' of the uranium atom is not so new or so much. A first hand meeting was had with the thing, let's see, golly it's more'n three score years ago when it was my sad and ornery chore to pick out our two milk cows in free . pasture along Thornapple river, near Hastings, Mich. Bringing 'em ' home was the worst part, unwinding the messed up picket lines from out around bushes and trees. The big roan muley cow would lead good. But the small red cow with sharp horns that old Roany wa sso -afraid of, would dray her slow feet along with me tugging at the lead-rope. As necessity, and misery too, is often the mother of inven tion, so it was with me. A bright idea dawned on my ex asperated mind. It was simple. A fixed loop was made in one end of old Roany's picket-line that was put well-back on her neck, the balance laid along her broad back to the red cow and trailed between her horns, ' un- aer ner oeii-strap and with a crooper loop in the end through which the lazy thing's tail was put and pulled up in place. Following events were rather confused, for when I started Roany, the loop tightened rather sudden like under the red cow's tail that brought an agonized "brauw-w-w" from her as she jumped ahead. Roany thought she was going to get hooked so she jumped ahead which result ed in a violent chain reaction of leaping and bawling , cows with me hanging desperately to the wnrpping end of the red cow's rope. A stump stopped the chain reaction with me, also eve ning came sudden and dark-like, as I dimly listened to crashing brush and bawling cows in the distance. Sadly I meandered up town, persuaded a beer-breath farmer to let me go home and work for him a while. No, there was no more chain- action when I finally returned home. But poor dad; ma said it too him a day and a half to find the cows. The red one's tail had a hump in it but she sure be came a good leader. F. C. Clifford 1211 West Main St., Medford, Ore. Our Responsibility To the Editor: One of the most popular subjects for discussion at present are our county tax bills. Never before have we been asked to pay so much for so little. Each of us has only one per son to blame for our present high rate of taxation that is ourselves individually. When elected or appointed practically all of our public officials are filled with the desire to give im partial economical and efficient service. As time goes on these same officials are called upon only when we want an added service but hardly ever does anyone tell them that a bridge, road or some service is not in the public interest. It is at this point that the small pressure groups make their most telling blows. They inveigle themselves into the confidence of our public servants and are able in their snide way to convince all who hear them that the county will disintegrate unless they are granted the favors sked. When all of us attend school board meetings and meetings of our county court we will be able to control the expenditures of these agencies to which our tax money goes. If we do not believe i in the necessity - for some con-1 POTLUCK (By M-T Staff and Contributors) Now that Medford High's Black Tornado has safely beaten the Grants Pass Cavemen, may be we can let you in on a little secret we know. In the classified ad section of Tuesday's and Thursday's pa pers, there was the following item: LOST & FOUND Science has been working on various theories as to the method of bri;- -ing up Tornadoes. Be at the Med ford Stadium on Friday night and see a machine from Grants Pass show you how it's donel Well, this item, it is reported, created something of a turmoii at good old MHS. The students wanted to know who the traitor was. They were mad, and afraid that it might mess up the team's chances of winning the Big One. The secret is this: The ad was placed by a Medford man (whose name we have sworn never to tell) who is a strong supporter of the MHS tam. He figured that it might make the team .mad enough to really whomp the Cavemen. We don't know whether the ad had anything to do with it, but Medford won, didn't it? "We don't want sewage running aown our streets, a city councilman declaredQast Tuesday in commenting on the problem of sanitary sewer con ditions in the Verde Hills dis-'-trict. Jimmy Dunlevy, the rotund impressario of KYJC (paid adv.), commenied that the sit uation hadn't reached that point yet, but he confided that there are occasions when you can't take a bath and wash clothes the same day without causing septic tanks to over flow. F. J. Clifford tells about the Medford construction foreman who, early last summer, went in to a market after quitting time, accompanied by three co-workers. He was carrying his lunch pail, and as he stopped to pay for his purchases, he opened his pail to get out his pay check. He took one quick look inside, slammed down the lid, looked around, took another quick look to verify what he'd seen, told the cashier he'd be right back and dashed outside. There he gently dumped out of the pail a baby porcupine. He says he's got a good idea who the culprits were. Medford bird-hunters back from the Klamath area are circulating advice, thesis days: Take your track shoes along. With hunters only about 50 feet apart along the six or seven mile firing line, they say the man who can run the fast est gets the bird. Sometimes one of the bird chasers even gets tackled in the process, they report. Two hunters stationed near each other worked out a sys tem. If a bird on the ground showed a wound on one side, it would go to one hunter; if the shot-holes were on the other side, it would go to the ether. Two staff members were on the sidewalks in front of one of Medford's better emporiums of gay 'living (just happened to be passing by. you understand) late one night, recently when an in dividual emerged, looked grog- gily up and down the street, spotted a police car, and yelled. "Hey, TAXI." Auburn, Nebr. (U.R) Gov. Victor Anderson, attending a fall festival here after his second trip to the stare pjiison in five months' to help stop a riot, got a serenade.

It is well to remember that our public servants are only hu man and will be controlled by the groups who appear before them most often. It is not too inconvenient for the speciaL privilege groups to appear at meetings of these bodies and if we want more economical gov ernment we must make our wishes known. Government is every citizen's business and it is impartial when it represents all of us. Dan F. Krotz II, Chairman for Community Service, Steelhead Post, VFW Shady Cove, Ore. - Sees a Difference To the Editor: Oregon's new Democratic senator again has demonstrated his New Deal mentality by not seeing any dif ference in Wayne Morse, elected by Republican votes and money to represent them, deserting to the Democrats, and a defeated Democrat shifting to the Repub licans. Neuberger previously cri ticized Herbert Hoover for sug gesting that a nation badly in debt should not be lending mon ey or building dams at Hells Canyon. Wayne Morse had every obli gation in any code of honor to complete the mission he asked for, and was paid for, while the defeated Democrats had no obli gation whatsoever. Ira C. Jones, 2325 Stewart ave., Medford, Ore.
