QandA
Very Interesting Coincidence: Tax receipts to
Jackson county during fiscal year 1955-56 will total
about $646,438, or just slightly more than the 638,-
147 "surplus" which apparently will be on hand at
the end of the year.
Question: Why was
year?
Answer: To protect the
because the county really needed the money.
Question: I3 this good public administration?
Answer: No.
QUESTION : Is there going to be a general county
tax levy this coming
Answer: No.
Question: Why not?
Answer: Because the
Question : If there's no
coming from?
Answer: Most of it
timber sale receipts on 0 & C lands within the county.
QUESTION: Shouldn't the county levy a tax this
year to protect its base?
Answer: It doesn't need to. The tax base can be
protected by a full levy each third year.
Question: Why do we need to protect the tax
base, if timber receipts pay most of the cost of run
ning the county?
Answer: If timber receipts fall off badly, the
county may have to resume regular annual taxation.
e e e e
QUESTION: Then we can expect to pay a big coun
ty tax every few years, whether the couny needs
the money or not?
Answer: Yes unless the tax base provision in
the constitutional 6 per cent limitation clause is
changed, or unless the county court decides that this
roller-coaster finance program is wrong, and agrees
to levy a smaller but predictable tax each year.
Question: What are the chances for this?
Answer: Under present circumstances, practically
nil. E.A.
Pats Honors
Patrick Graham is a man of no small tenacity. And
behind a gruff voice and a tough, Irish face, he is en
dowed with a considerable quantity of the milk of
human kindness.
The opportunity to make these observations
comes with the news that for the past five years the
membership of Jackson County Post 8, Disabled
American Veterans, has increased over the previous
year; and that those years are the five during which
Pat has served as adjutant and service officer.
m m
I
T SHOULD be explained, perhaps, that member-
shin in nuch an organization is larp-elv dependent
on the effectiveness of the work done by the service
officer. Three of the five most recent DAV depart
ment commanders have presented Pat with certifi
cates of merit for outstanding work in that position.
This job deals largely with assisting veterans who
need help, either financially, or in cutting through
the reams of red tape with which the Veterans Ad
ministration does its business. -
e e e e
AT THE recent DAV state convention, Pat Graham
" was presented with his third certificate of merit,
and in addition with a bronze statuette trophy in rec
ognition of the fact that last year he was responsible
for more members joining the DAV than any other
one person in the state of Oregon.
We are happy for this chance to pay our small
tribute to a man who, in his own quiet way, has done
a great deal for disabled veterans and their depend
ents, and has done it without fanfare. E.A.
Six-Bit Word
Eclecticism is a perfectly good six-bit word which
describes the philosophy or practice of picking and
choosing the best in the fields of literature, religion,
philosophy, medicine, art, music or what-have-you,
rather than accepting an existing system or school or
plan, without questioning the individual components.
The word itself is under-used. So is its practice.
For no system of thought, no professional disci
pline, no school of practice has a monopoly on what
is good or true.
TTHIS is heresy. It is also the truth.
A political eclectic is not the "vote-'er-straight"
party man he is the one who votes for the indivi
dual he thinks will do the best job under the circum
stances, or for the measure he thinks is right, regard
less of party dogma.
A literary eclectic is not one who devotes his time
and his enthusiasm to a period or a school to the ex
clusion of others he is the man who finds truth and
beauty in the best of each.
An artistic eclectic is not one who confines him
self to "the moderns," or "the great masters," but one
who can accept or reject on the basis of his own be
lief and tastes.
rCLECTICISM implies skepticism as well as accept-
ance. It also implies a certain toughness of mind
and spirit, for it is easier to "go along with the mob"
than it is to probe, oneself, for the verities in which
one can conscientiously believe.
And it is far more difficult to do so in the tightly
organized fields, such as religion and medicine, than
it is in the less formal systems and schools such as
politics or literature or art.
It is sufficiently difficult in any 'field, but it Days
dividends of self-respect and a consciousness of in
tellectual honesty. E.A.

Tax Cut Possibility
Eyed If Slump Comes;
Fiscal Tools Usable
Washington (CQ) If signs
of a business slump develop dur

expect renewed talk of a tax
cut before Congress adjourns.
The reason: the Treasury's
prospective $4,000,000,000 sur
plus in the cash budget, like the
Federal Reserve's year-long pol
icy of restraining credit, is a
major anti-1 nflationary influ
ence. If the money managers de
cide that deflation is the greater
threat, the factors favoring a pol
icy of easier credit also will
argue for a tax cut

July 4 Warning
To the Editor: The Fourth of
July falls on Wednesday this
year. So it is reasonable to as
sume that the calendar will of
fer some relief from the high
death tolls of the last four Inde
pendence day celebrations.
It will in terms of actual
numbers. But the death toll on
Memorial day also a one-day
holiday was 56 per cent high
er than the normal Wednesday
for that time of year.
So we feel that the shorter
holiday period doesn't warrant
any complacency, or relieve us
from making an all-out effort to
keep the toll to a minimum.
With traffic deaths up 10 per
cent so far this year and a new
all-time high record threaten
ing, there is a real traffic safety
emergency in this country.
' We are emphasizing, there
fore, the need for extra stringent
enforcement of traffic laws dur

coupled of course with appeals
to the good sense of individuals.
We will greaUy appreciate
your help in trying to hold down
the holiday traffic toll.

Litter
To the Editor: It may be some
wishful thinking, or is it the
high grass of this tremendous
grass year? But there does not
seem to be the usual mess of
litter-bug trash along the high
ways as spring advances into
summer. We have so many beau
tiful roads, winding roads (so
scarce in the checker-board pat
tern of mid-west and east), that
beckon away to snow-garmented
mountains, the miles of lone
ly desert lands, the verdant val
leys and on down where, the
mare's-tail and white-whiskered
ocean waves pound the leagues
of sandy beaches that, thanks to
one-time Governor West, are
free for the use of tourist and
resident. (Chances are if McKay
had been in they would have
been a "give-away" to private
interest cronies).
It takes a grievous amount of
tax-dollars, . expensive equip
ment and endless man-hours of
sweat and toil to build such
roads. Surely we, the owners
of these roads, can have the
pride and. sense of clearliness to
keep them free of our own per
sonal litter? Too many people
step from their daily shower
or bath to toss away candy and
gum wrapper, coke botUes and
paper cups and, worst of aU, the
filthy glowing stub of cigarettes
that reduce our homes and for
ests to ashes of discouragement.
Some litter-bugs try for an
alibi when claiming it gives jobs
to people. It surely does, but
how the highway workers hate
to be pulled off of permanent
road building to go along the
highway with a nail studded
stick and clean up other peo
ple's filth. It takes six to seven
days with two $4,000 trucks and
six men just to clean up the
road from Medford to Eagle
Point at better than $70 a day.
But the litter-bugs get caught
up occasionally. A ranch-woman
near Antelope creek told how
she found a day-book among
some rubbish dumped in her
pasture field. The Medford con
tractor had to go and clean it
up, including the whole pas
ture field. A license plate was
found once in rubbish dumped
along a beautiful coast highway,
taken to state police in Port
land, the owner was found and
had the ornery and somewhat
dangerous job of getting the
stuff off the steep mountainside.
F. J. Clifford,

developed In auto and other
fields.
These conflicting trends and
the significance attached to them
rather than any basic differ
ence over policy explain the
disagreement voiced by Secre
tary of Treasury George M.
Humphrey and other Adminis
tration officials over the April
13 increase in the Federal Re
serve discount rate, the fifth
such credit restraining action
within a year.
"If it had been my responsi
bility," Humphrey told the Sen
ate Finance Committee, "I would
not have made this last move."
So far, however, Humphrey has
not abandoned his opposition to
a tax cut a powerful business
stimulant despite his action
May 17 in boosting the estimated
surplus in the 1956 administra
tive budged from $200,000,000
to $1,800,000,000. (The cash
budget, which includes trust
fund operations and determines
the net impact of federal fi
nances on the economy, will
show the $4,000,000,000 surplus.)
In combination and in step,
federal monetary, credit and fis
cal policies can have a tremen
dous impact on the American
market place. Secretary Humph
rey and other Administration of
ficials learned this early in 1953,
when they moved rather abrupt
ly to hike interest rates and
tighten the money supply in pur
suit of the GOP-promised "sound
dollar." Democrats charged that
these steps aggravated if they
did not precipitate the 1953-54
recession.
Easier to Say
Presumably, the Administra
tion will act promptly to coun
ter the development of anything
like a general recession in this
election year. But this is easier
said than done, especiaUy when
the economy, while working
close to capacity on the whole,
i. experiencing sharply conflict
ing trends. The problem was put
this way by Chairman William
McChesney Martin of the BoardJ
of Governors of the Federal Re
serve System, in testimony be-'
fore the Joint Economic Com
mittee: ,
"We have always followed a
policy in recent years of lean
ing against the wind, whichever
way we can determine the wind
is blowing . . . We do not always
know which way it is blowing
but it is our intention to lean
against it whichever way it is
blowing, in order to minimize
the forces of deflation when they
are in the uppermost, and the
forces of inflation when they are
in the uppermost."
By law, the Federal Reserve
System is independent of the
Administration. In practice, it
must work in close cooperation
with the Treasury. This division
of powers and responsibilities
could make for serious trouble
if the Treasury and the Reserve
pursued conflicting economic
philosophies and policies.
The last serious dispute over
Treasury-Reserve relations came
in the late '40's, when the Re
serve's policy of supporting
Treasury bond issues in order to
keep interest rates low came
under heavy attack because of
its inflationary effect. Secretary
of the Treasury John Snyder
was blamed for pressuring the
Board of Governor to support
a policy against its better judg
ment. The policy was revised in
1951.
Made Exception
In September, 1953, the Re
serve reaffirmed its intention
not to support government se
curity issues. But on Nov. 30,
1955, at the Treasury's request,
the Reserve agreed to make an'
exception and buy $400,000,000
of Treasury certificates when the
offering met market resistance.
Sen. Paul Douglas (D-I1U,
Chairman of the Joint Economic
committee, charged that the Re
serve acted "to bail out the
Treasury and prevent the mis
takes which they had made in
gauging the market from becom
ing apparent." In defending the
Reserve's action, Chairman Mar
tin said the "Treasury and the
Federal Reserve are partners.
We are trying to achieve the
same general ends, and we each
have a 50 per cent interest. We
are not subordinate one to the
other."
Martin, a Democrat first ap
pointed by President Truman in
1951 and reappointed Jan. 9 by
President Eisenhower for a full
14-year term, underscored the
Reserve's independence by the
April 13 hike in the discount
rate. But all the evidence Indi
cates that the Reserve and the
Treasury will be working over
time to "achieve the same' gen
eral ends" in the coming weeks
and months a stable and grow
ing economy.

Communist Confusion Deepens
Over Kremlin's Stalin Action
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
The week's good and bad
sews on the international bal
ance sheet:
The Good
1. Confusion deepened in the
Communist world over the at
tempt of the Kremlin to blame
Josef Stalin for aU the crimes of
the Soviet Russian dictatorship.
The Italian and French Commu
nist parties, largest in the free
world, issued statements of pol
icy accepting the Moscow line
that Stalin was a villain. But
both parties said Russia's pres
ent leaders could not absolve
themselves of blame because
they were Stalin's active col
laborators. The Stalin debunk
ing campaign had repercussions,
too, in the visit of Yugloslav
President Tito to Russia. A joint
declaration issued by the Krem
lin and Tito emphasized that
cooperation of Communist par
ties must be based on equality.
Its effect was that blind obedi
ence by Communist parties to
the Moscow line was no longer
necessary.

Babson Views Outlook
For Farmers in 1956
By ROGER BABSON
Babson Park, Mass. F r o m
present early indications, Moth
er Nature may be of some assist
ance this year
to h a r a s s ed
g o v e rnment
officials not
to mention ov-
e r b u r dened
t a xpayers
in reduc
ing farm sur-
pluses. My
first survey of
Rofer W. Babion the 1956 crop
outlook points to the low
est prospects in eleven years.
Here are some of the highlights.
For the third successive year,
total production of wheat prob
ably will fall short of the billion-
bushel mark. Output of winter
wheat the main crop may
be in the vicinity of 670,000,000
bushels down 5 per cent from
a year ago and well below av
erage. If the spring crop amounts
to about 253,000,000 bushels, as
I expect, the total U. S. crop of
923,000,000 bushels would be the
smallest since 1943. However,
since the total July 1 carryover
threatens to top 1,000,000,000
bushels, total supplies will still
be burdensome.
Kye is doing well in some
areas, less so in others. Its over
all condition as of June 1 was
78 per cent of normal, compared
with 74 per cent on June 1, 1955
and with the 10-year average of
82 per cent. This could mean en
outturn this year equaling or
exceeding the above average
crop of 29,187,000 bushels pro
duced last year. This would be
sufficient for all requirements.
Corn and Soybeans
It is uncertain at this writing
just wnat effect the govern
ments sou bank program will
have on production of corn and
soybeans this year, but my fore
cast is not very much. "Last
spring, corn farmers indicated
that they intended to plant an
acreage' of 3.5 per cent smaller
than in 1955, when the crop
amounted to 3,184,836,000 bush
els the sixth largest of rec
ord. Given favorable weather
conditions, I believe the Corn
Belt wiU "go to town" again this
year. Meanwhile, I forecast high
er average prices for old-crop
corn, and lower prices for new-
crop corn this faU.
Last spring farmers indicated
intentions to plant a record 21,
760,000 acres to soybeans up
10.6 per cent from the previous
1955 record. Nothing has since
occurred, as far as I know, to
materially alter those intentions.
If weather conditions remain fa
vorable, the 1956 crop of soy
beans could easily top 400,000,-
000 bushels and set a new record
for this wonder bean. Total sup
plies for 1956-57 should not,
however, prove burdensome, in
view of the government support
programs and an expected heavy
volume of . total consumption.
Some price weakness could de
velop this faU, with recovery to
follow.

eign ministers of the North At
lantic Treaty Organization met
in Paris to study means of
strengthening the 16-nation al-i

member countries less defense
minded. The job of the foreign

3. Premier Guy Mollet won
an overwhelming vote of confi
dence in the French National
Assembly on a big old-age pen
sion bill. He had previously won
confidence votes on North Af
rican and general policies. His
new victory gave promise of
greater French political stability
and thus strengthened the West
ern Allies.
The Bad
1. Russia staged a big propa
ganda show to start off its an
nounced plan to withdraw 33,
500 occupation troops from East
Germany. In the presence of Al
lied military observers, 87 war
planes wore flow off to Russia.
This show was to be followed by
one in Moscow Sunday when
Gen. Nathan F. Twining, Unit-
ing generally favorable prog
ress. It is too early in the season,
however, to form any hard and
fast opinion as to the final size.
Possible insect damage must be
reckoned with between now and
harvest time. Plantings this year
were officially restricted to a
total of only 17,437,000 acres.
As recently as in 1951, farmers
planted 28,195.000 acres to cot
ton. No record crop will be
grown on the relatively small
1956 acreage, but it may turn
out to be larger than the cut in
acreage would indicate.
Farmers in recent years have
learned the art of intensive cul
tivation of "getting the most-
est out ol the leastest." It is a
safe bet that Dixie will follow
this procedure in cotton this
year. Even a reduction to only
10,000,000 bales would not go
very far toward cutting the mil
lions of bales in government
hands. The cotton problem is
stiU far from solution.
Farm Price Outlook
in the past several years,
American farmers as a whole
have taken it "on the chin'
pneewise. In the last few
months, however, the average of
farm prices has been edging up
ward. Barring a severe business
recession, which I am not now
forecasting for 1956,. I believe
that the farm price decline for
this cycle is about over.
The Soil Bank plan and other
remedial measures yet to be
found and applied should go far
toward correcting the errors of
the past in agriculture, although
some small and inefficient farm
ers may get hurt in the healing
process.
Editorial Comment
HYATT LAKE
For a long time there has
been confusion as to whether
the upper reservoir of the Tal
ent irrigation district should be
spelled Hyatt or Hiatt. Some
maps show It as Hiatt and others
use a "y" instead of "i".
This week The Daily Tidings
asked Walter Hoffbuhr, secre
tary manager of the Talent irri
gation district, for the official
spelling and Mr. Hoffbuhr re
ported that both the Talent dis
trict and the bureau of recla
mation have used both spellings.
However, he advised that in the
future, both official bodies have
agreed to spell it Hyatt, since
that was the way the Hyatt
family, which owned the ranch
at the lake site spelled its name.
In the future, as far as we are
concerned, it will be Hyatt lake,
but we suspect that for a long
time a lot of folks will also spell
it Hiatt. Ashland Tidings.

the 25 were brought to America
with American money. They
were treated by American doc

practiced their wonderful arts
on the disfigured faces and

another naUon where people of
good will would have been so
ready to let by-gones be by
gones? We doubt it.
