The Warden's Job Ted Maul, who goes to Salem this week to under take duties of greater responsibility with the state de partment of lorestry, snould taKe witn nim.tne grati tude of a great many Jackson county people for a job well done. Ted is not a widely-known man. But his activities have had a bearing on pretty nearly everyone in the county, in one way or another. For the past five or six years he has been district estry department. AS SUCH, he has fulfilled an odd combination of duties. To some people he has been a fireman. And in deed he has been a fire chief of sorts, heading theor eanization (known locally as the state forest patrol) which answers fire alarms floor not otherwise protected from fire. His larger responsibility has been in the protection this area, and he and his good record of protection, one which is acknow ledged in his appointment to a job with the state pro tective services. . TO OTHER people, he has responsible for enforcement of state laws apply ing to woodsmen in the forests. It is well known that a policeman's lot is not a happy one, but. from what we have learned about Ted during his tour of duty here, he has been diplomatic, tacttul but firm. Another facet of the job is that of an administra tor, handling the responsibility of an organization which in the summer time employs scores of men and women, which has a logistical problem of feeding, equipping and supervising duties attendant on protecting from fire several nun dred thousand acres of forest land.' THE district warden must " and a lorward-looking torester. Me must be aware of developments in .research into the life-cycle of trees; of the dangers of insects; of the best ways in which forest debris can be handled; of . how log ging should be done for the protection of future for est stands. In addition, he must be fully aware of the needs of the forest industry, and be able to talk in their own terms to loggers, millmen, truckers and foresters. ' TED has proven himself to be a talented member of the younger generation of foresters who has com bined all these abilities into a rough-hewn and unas suming appearance, and made the complicated ma chine tick. It is to men such as Ted Maul, and Jack Wood of the U. S. forest service, and Doc Simpson of the Southern Oregon Conservation and Tree Farm as sociation, and the many, many forward-looking men in the industry that we can look for continued lead ership in making our forest resource a continuing, stable and productive one. E.A.. Highway Names The Eugene Register:Guard has a point. -r In commenting on the movement to name ; the Portland-Salem express highway after the late Gov. Paul Patterson, the Guard declares mat "artificial" names for highways simply do not last. DARKS yes. We have repeatedly suggested that one be named after Ex-Gov. Os West, and still hope the highway commission will follow through on the. suggestion. Parks commonly are referred to by the names given them. But highways no. Too many of them have beer named after men, and then people continue to call them by their accustomed number or geographical de scription. Witness the Roosevelt hio-hwav. nr the Lincoln highway or the Herbert Hoover, highway, which are all in Oregon. No one calls them by those names. : The Guard says: .

It looks fully that big. TT IS a handsome citv. Its main street is the Avenue Juarez, which , is wide and spacious. It is 1 i n e d by handsome stores, which carry a wide range of merchandise.

' Japanese officials fear that mass demonstrations scheduled in Tokyo throughout March by the three million-member trade unions may erupt in bloody riots. The unions want higher pay for government and industrial work ers. The officials look back to the May Day riots of 1952 when 250 demonstrators, 200 police and 10 American G.I.s were in jured. New riots, .like those, might take an anti-American turn. And Dulles is due in Tokyo in March. FULL HOUSE Chicago (U.R) Mrs. Ca therine Davey, unable to cut her guest list, had to hire a haU to celebrate her 80th birthday Sun day. The guests included six daughters, four sons, 30 grand children and. 45 great-grandchildren. . induce private capital to build three needed dams . on Snake river, by giving them 10 years to pay $33,000,000, or $66,000, 000 in taxes (Morse's- figures), Eisenhower is too valuable a President to lose, instead of tax ing private , industry to build unfair competition by cheap power rates that benefit only; a few at the expense of many. In a democracy common sense, is more valuable than visions and eloquence. We like Ike. If we lost Wayne in Hells Canyon, we would still have Richard; to set; Herbert Hoover right in economic mat ters and loaning money. He could go on in democratic pro tection of the little fellow from plutocratic big business, . vested interests, Wall, Street, down to the very foundation, making rules for baby sisters.

Tbey have 135 electoral votes. Governors Polled v Several Republican governors also were polled on their vice- pr esidential choices, as were a dozen members of Congress and half a dozen individuals in pri vate life. Returns from this section of the poll were not especiaUy il luminating. Individuals likely to be opposed to Nixon appeared to be more reluctant than his supporters to answer up. In five instances, national committeemen or. state vice chairmen were substituted for chairmen who . were unreacha ble. The response of the chair man and their substitutes seem ed substantially to support the claims of Nixon's friends that he has powerful grass roots sup port. . Belief that Mr. v .Eisenhower shortly will announce himself available for a second term is giving the Republican party's vice-presidential choice extraor dinary significance. There is de veloping a lusty drop-Nixon movement within the party, more distinguished, however, for amateur than professional political management. Mr. Eis enhower is believed to prefer Nixon. He wiU be subjected to much pressure to drop him from the ticket. . Matter of Fact By Joe and Stewart Alsop WHY THE FARM MESS? Washington A loud, bitter, and prolonged fight is about to start over the farm issue. Secre- taiy of Agri culture Ezra T a f t Benson will stubborn ly contend that Abierican agriculture i s in a mess be cause of rigid high price sup ports. The josenh Aicnn Democrats will just as stubbornly contend that American agriculture is in a mess because of Ezra Taft Ben son. And most people will have only a "very vague idea what the hubbub is all about. One way to grasp what the hubbub is " all about is to take one farm commodity and see -what has happened to it. Rice happens Stewart ajsod to provide a striking and reasonably typical example. The rice story starts in 1941. when the American government decided to stimulate rice pro duction for wartime purposes. ine farmers were' offered a gov- ernment guarantee that thev would receive 85 per cent of the parity price for their rice crops, parity being an artificial ly established fair return for the .crop. TiHIS in effect guaranteed big producers a handsome profit, and rice production shot up sharply during the war just what the wartime - planners hoped. After the war, the parity guarantee, instead of being drop ped, was actually increased from 85 to 90 per cent. And between 1940 and the mid-1950s the price of rice almost doubled, while in the same period production more than doubled, since the govern ment guaranteed profit was still there to be made. - ; .- Parity payments are supposed ly on - a "loan" basis. - But .the loan is strictly a "heads the pro- Communications Extravagance - j i-To the Editor: In answer to Mr. Pruitt's letter in theTribun'e for Feb. 24, the editor states that the total cost .of installing' the equipment for Medford would be $29,820, and the annual main tenance cost $13,118l;.These fig ures were furnished' him by the Medford Water commission. It is agreed by the proponents of fluoridation that; only the chil dren of one to ten years of age can be benefitted (?) by fluori dation. It is also agreed that this age, group constitutes about one- eighth of the total population. . Hence seven-eighths of our water would be treated to no apparent good purpose. It fol lows, that seven-eighths of the two sums would be expended uselessly.. Hence the citizens of Medford are asked to throw down the drain $26,092.50. for installation and $11,479.50 for annual maintenance. Would any one of the proponents of fluori dation use his private resources so extravagantly? - ;. . Anna M. S treed 36 North Peach st. i. . Medford, Ore. ' Editorial Commended To the Editor: This letter is to commend your recent editor ial "statement of' policy on the fluoridation issue. It is my opinion that within a very few years fluoridation of water supplies will be as gen erally accepted and practiced as a public health measure as chlorination is- at present. Your editorial seems an ex cellent statement of the 'most sound and well-informed think ing on the subject. Mrs. Harold W.

If the price of his crop goes down and stays there, the producer pockets the loan, no questions asked. If it goes above the parity price, he can sell his crop at the higher price and pocket the difference. For the really big producers, this system is indeed a thing of beauty. On the 1954 crop, for example, the last on which a public record is available, the Craighead Rice Milling company of Arkansas collected $431,853 UMl.-ts.r- f 4-UH -. "IT 1 Schwartz Farms of California got $385,488, the Louisiana Irri gation and Mill company got a whopping $486,725, and J. KT and C. E. Greer, the biggest Mississippi producers, collected a comparatively measly $177, 624. ; ' ' rpHE average payment of course, is much less, in the range of $8,000. But even this is a sufficiently respectable sum to suggest why there is so much"' political steam behind parity pay-- ments. Pleasant as . the system is for the recipients of the tax payers' largesse, it has certain peculiar side-effects. In the first place, of course. with such ah incentive to pro duce enormous surpluses are built up in the case of rice. more than a year's supply now overhangs the rice market This" in turn weakens the price of the commodity, and makes it all the more expensive for the govern ment to support the price. The result is a vicious circle if ever' there was one. I In the second place, the huge surpluses generate an immense pressure to get rid of the stuff, somehow, anyhow, and dumping abroad looks very tempting. But even a little dumping can be a dangerous thing. Some time ago, a mere 2 mil lion bags of surplus American rice was sent to Japan. Instant ly," the Asian rice market weak ened. Since then, neutralism has rapidly gained ground in Siamj. while Burma has been forced.to? make a , deal with the Commu nist bloc,- to exchange Burmese rice for machinery.
