MAIL TRIBUNE
Chance to 'Do Something'
"Why don't 'they' do something about it?"
This is a question we've all heard when something
of a civic nature goes wrong when a storm sewer
backs up, say, or a road needs repairs.
The "they" usually refers to some nameless, face
less and impotent public official or officials, and the
one asking the question seldom really expects "them"
to do anything about the situation.
It occurs to us that the "they" is really, and too
often, "we" meaning citizens, voters and taxpayers.
CUCH is the case in regard to the capital improve-
ment program being presented to the voters of
Medford two weeks from tomorrow.
Such is the case with the arterial street program
and the off-street parking program, which have been
discussed and endorsed in this space previously.
And such too is the case with two other separate
measures proposing the construction of storm and san
itary sewers in Medford.
Neither of the latter is particularly expensive as
public works go.
Each is vastly important to certain sections of town
in particular, and to the entire city in general.
They are "good housekeeping" measures, and de
serve the approval of all voters of "we" as well as
"they."
MOT MUCH needs to be said about them here, as de-
' tails of the proposals have been outlined else
where. But it should be pointed out that long-suffering
residents of the parts of Medford affected by high
water, and by backed-up sewage, are entitled to relief.
And it should also be pointed out that what affects
one part of the city affects all of it, particularly the
threats to the health and well-being of fellow citizens.
Therefore, we recommend a "yes" vote for the
sewer projects, Nos. 53 and 54 on the Medford ballot.
E.A.
Cost Not Too High
The total cost of the four-phase capital improve
ment program will come high, but not too high.
On the basis of current assessed valuation in Med
ford, the total tax cost will amount to 10 mills. This
will bring the Medford millage rate from 18.9 (the
lowest of any city in Oregon of comparable size) up
to 28.9 mills still among the lowest in the state.
OERE is how the cost, in mills, is apportioned :
M. Arterial streets 6.6 mills (5.6 mills for a con
tinuing levy for 10 years ; 1 mill for bonds and inter
est). 2. Off-street parking none. (The entire program
would be self-liquidating, and would fall on property
as a tax only in the event of some totally unforeseen
catastrophe, such as war or depression.)
3. Storm sewers 2.6 mills (1.9 mills for the levy
and .7 of a mill for bond retirement and interest).
4. Sanitary sewers .8 of a mill for the six-year
levy.
jM'EDFORD has long been fortunate in having a low
tax rate, while enjoying high-standard city ser
vices. ,
It is now in the midst of a period of growth, and a
number of things are necessary to promote this growth
in an orderly fashion.
These things cost money quite a bit of money.
But the cost is not too high for the benefits re
ceived. E.A.
The Freeway Where?
On the basis of what has been said and done so
far, we rather expect the state highway commission to
select the route along Bear Creek for its proposed new
four-lane freeway.
If it does, we can't avoid the uneasy feeling that
it will be making a mistake one which will be bitter
ly regretted in the years to come as Medford grows and
expands, and finds itself cloven in half by a wide,
noisy, double ribbon of asphalt or concrete.
IN THE nature of things, any decision on which of
the four routes should be selected must be made
negatively; that is, on the basis of which would do the
least damage.
Our view and it may well be a minority opinion
at the moment is that the Hillcrest route (despite the
loss of agricultural land and the harm to orchards)
would do the least damage, perhaps not immediately,
but over the long run. It, at least, is about $4 million
less expensive than the West Side route, and would
not chop the city up any worse than it already is.
There are two other reasons and we think they
are valid tnes why a wide swath should not be sliced
through Medford, either along Bear creek, or through
the residential area just to the east
THE first is that either the Bear Creek or Gennesse

er east side irreparably, and hinder or prevent any
future use of Bear Creek itself as a strip of greenery.
The second is that tourists would be far more apt
to stop at Medford overnight, or for a meal, or just to
shop or visit, from an attractive highway through roll
ing mils, fields and orchards with a pleasant view of
the city, then they would be from a highway through
town, where the view would
or the sub-standard neighborhoods which follow busy
highways as surely as flies follow garbage.
If "the economy" dictates a through-city route for
the highway, we think it is false economy, without
vision for the future. E.A.

ju&epb Aiiup iai Stevenson,
thinks that Pennsylvania is in
the bag for his man.
Lawrence, a large, solid, quiet
spoken man with a large, deeply
lined, intelligent face, is very ob
viously no actor. The confidence
that he expressed to this reporter
a day or so ago was very obvi
ously genuine confidence.
"Here in Allegheny County,"
he said, "the Democrats will

votes that we should have got
last time. If we do that, and if
Stevenson can only hold his
1952 majority in Philadelphia,
which I think he will, there
won't be any contest. The state

A
JUDGING by my own poUing,
" Stevenson is doing just about
as well in Philadelphia, as he did
four years ago. But how about
Mayor Lawrence's other "if?" in
order to test the Sage of Pitts
burgh's theory of major Demo
cratic gains in his own county,
I asked him to have his staff pick
an indicator-precinct or district
as they call their precincts' here
abouts where signs of Demo
cratic gains would surely be dis
coverable. After some thought,
the Mayor's assistant suggested
the 11th District in the old 8th
Ward, which went for Eisen
hower by the narrow majority
of 386 to 347 in 1952.
Next morning, bright and
early, I set out to poll the 11th
District. It was one of those golden-hazy
autumn days that are the
best of the year. '
On a fine day, the 11th Dis
trict is a pleasant place its
streets tree-lined, its houses cos
ily old-fashioned but seldom
shabby, its people just that mix
ture .of working class and small
business and white color fam
ilies that forms the vital back
bone of urban America.
A LTOGETHER it was an agree
able experience although a
somewhat exhausting one for
I managed to poll a sample equal
to exactly a tenth of the district's
last-time voters before darkness
finally closed in. And with the
doubters I talked at some length.
Rich human surprises are a
commonplace of door-to-door
polling at all times, but the few
blocks of the 11th District were
unusually full of them. On the
Eisenhower side, ' for instance,
there was Miss Violet Roy, a
sweet -faced old Negro house
worker at 205 Atlantic ave., who
explained that she was voting
Republican because "I think we
should all be grateful for what
God has given us; and we should
never complain regardless of
what our status in life is."
And on the Stevenson side,
there was the Rev. William Viv
rett and his handsome wife, of
256 South Evaline st. Mrs. Viv
rett delivered the best short lec
ture on America's fated world
leadership "It's been imposed
on us, for good or ill, and the
greatest problem facing our
country is how to exercise this
leadership with wisdom, self-denial
and courage" which this
reporter has heard in many a
weary month.
rpHERE was a political surprise,
-- too. The Democratic Senate
candidate, Joseph S. Clark Jr., is
a Philadelphia man who is not
supposed to have much follow
ing at this end of the state. Yet
he ran well ahead of his Re
public opponent, Sen. James
Duff, and even got a few votes
more than Adlai Stevenson him
self. And the Presidential con
test also produced a surprise, in
the form of an abnormally large
number of undecided voters who
may end by administering a
sharp surprise to Mayor Law
rence. In round figures, 55 per cent
of the people I talked to who
had voted last time, had picked
Eisenhower in 1952, and 45 per
cent had picked Stevenson a
slighUy higher vote than Eisen
hower actually got. This time; 40

last Wednesday.

Middle Eastern and Southeast
Asian alliances against Commu
nist aggression, arrived in Pei

It has been announced that

per cent were ready to vote for
Eisenhower; 35 per cent had
chosen Stevenson; one angry
voter plumped for the no-income-tax
candidate, Coleman An
drews; and the very large re
maining percentage were in gen
uine doubt.
TYPICAL of an actual major
ity of the doubters was Jo
seph Curran, a retired railroad
er, who lives at 224 South Aiken
st. Last time he voted for Stev
enson. "But this time," he said,
"I really don't knqw what to
do; I like Eisenhower very much,
but still and all I'm a Democrat,
and the Democrats are the party
of the working man like me."
This pull, between the Eisen
hower personality and what
they conceive to be their own
interests, was common even
among the 11th District people
who had made their decisions.
If the doubters split evenlv.
Mayor Lawrence will not achieve
his expected gain in the 11th
District, Yet there is one other
factor that may importantly in
fluence the outcome in the 11th
District the factor of political
organization that also deserves
careful study in another report.

Kefauver, reported to be
"shocked" at President Eisen
hower's bitter reply to Soviet
Premier Bulganin, withheld his
fire on the H-bomb tests, how
ever, until contacting Adlai E.
Stevenson.
Dr. David L. Hill, atomic
scientist on vacation from Los
Alamos and acting as Kefauver's
consultant, termed Mr. Eisen
hower's statement "peevish."
No Comprehension
Hill said Mr. Eisenhower has
"no comprehension of the pos
sibility that we have a real op
ening to make some progress to
bring the H-bomb under con
trol." Mr. Eisenhower, in his reply
to Bulganin's H-bomb ban pro

mier of interfering in U. S. in
ternal affairs during a political
campaign.
At Porterville, Calif., where
residents can see the flash and
feel the tremors from the Nev

though of course related, elec

are the Con

local contests.
There is the

ordinary contradictions between
what he private polls are indi
cating and what the actual voters
in Maine and Alaska have
shown. The polls show Eisen
hower running very well and
the early voting in Maine and
Alaska shows great strength in
the Democratic party.
It is, it seems to me, too early
to come to any conclusion as to
what these contradictions por
tend. IT WOULD be fair to say that
until the past week or so the
main emphasis of the campaign
ing has been on the contests at
the Congressional level. Steven
son and Kefauver have been
rallying the Democrats in the
various regions of the country,
and the issues they have been
raising are those which in the
different states are most likely
to draw the Eisenhower Demo
crats of 1952 back into the fold.
Stevenson's speeches have been
pointed primarily at the weak
nesses of the Republican party
as opposed to the Democratic
party. Eisenhower has been in
volved only insofar as he can be
identified with the Republican
record.

Memo from
J UJL, OAtrl
i .-
Tomorrow
Lippmann
prised if it were the main rea
son, why Stevenson has not been
arousing strong national interest
is that up to this point his cam
paign has been very largely de
voted to helping the Democrats
in their local contests.
During this period the Repub
licans have been on the defen
sive, with Nixon working to
activate the Republican politic
ians and Eisenhower working to
hold on to the Eisenhower Demo
crats. T'HE striking characteristic of
this phase of the election,
which looks as if it might now
be ending, has been that the
crucial issues of the President
ial contest have been allowed
to lie under, though just under,
the surface of the campaign.
These issues are not farm par
ities, big business in govern
ment, or even the hydrogen
bomb tests and foreign policy.
The crucial issues arise from the
fundamental fact that Eisenhow-.
er's leadership and control of
the Republican . party depend
uniquely on his own personality.
on his own active presence, and
therefore on his health and his
energies.
Gen. Eisenhower's great de
fault, which is, I believe, the cen
tral issue of the Presidential '
contest, is that he has not pro
vided carefully and reliably for
a successor. Given his age, given
his illnesses, it was his primary
duty, if he chose to seek a, second
term, to provide for a successor.
It was his duty to offer the
country a successor who was in
dubitably 1a believer in his prin
ciples, a man of unmipeachable
character and of proven ability.
It would be absurd to say that
such men do not exist in the Re
publican party. Gen. Eisenhow
er's failure to bring one of them
forward is the crucial issue in
the contest between him and
Stevenson.
TN tfiis contest the main point
is not that Stevenson is young
er, nor who is going to live the
longer. The main point is that
Eisenhower does not have a
party behind him and around
him which can be counted upon
to carry on along his lines if, for
any reason, his energies dimin
ish or fail. There is here a risk
to the public interest and to the
national interest which cannot
prudently be ignored. It cannot
be discounted by saying that
Stevenson too is mortal.
- The essential point is that Ste
venson has a party around him
and behind him, and that if any
thing happened to him, there
would be no risk, not even a
probability, that the party would
go off course and in a very dif
ferent direction.

Christ as Saviour, tied two sticks
together, in shape like a cross
and shoved them into the
ground. God would see them and
give him eternal life. John 3:16
tells how.
