MAIL. TRIBUNE
Its Up To the Democrats
Thanks to the single-handed and effective leader
ship of State Senator Philip Lowry, Senate Bills 274
and 275, giving the state of Oregon SOME slight con
trol over the "Friendly Southern Pacific" were passed.
The bills went over to the House in due course, but
have not, to date, even been reported out of commit
tee, much less passed, and our information is, unless
something is done and done quickly they won't be.
Why? t
Because the "S.P." rail lobby the most powerful
lobby in Salem both from the standpoint of money and
political "savvy" is doing everything in its book-of-tricks
legitimate and otherwise to prevent the
measures' survival.
THEIR latest gimmick has been to gather in mem
bers of 'the railroad unions to testify against "the
measures, on the implied threat of dismissal if they
refuse, when any accurate, impartial survey of the
railroad brotherhood would show the employees: are
as a whole, overwhelmingly in favor of the public con
trols proposed.
In fact when the measures were first presented,
representatives of the railroad management, publicly
declared they had no objection to giving the Oregon
"P.U.C." powers similar to those that have been in
force for many years in California, but when the legis
lation was rewritten to conform to this demand, the
"FRIENDLY Southern Pacific," true to f orm, repudi
ated its former stand and proceeded to turn its big
guns on what was left of State Senator Lowry's origi
nal proposal the aim being to allow no advance in
this field whatever.
WHAT can be done about it?
Wall o, v.
many times, if the people the rank-and-file won't
fight for their rights when they are endangered, they
will never get them.
And the only way they can fight for them in this
particular case is to send such a flood of protests to
Salem, and such a firm widespread demand for pass
age of the legislation in question, that the House of
Representatives will realize that if they fail to follow
the lead of the State Senate, they will convict them
selves of yielding to the rail-lobby blandishments and
pressures, and deserting, what is so plainly the promo
tion of the public welfare.
"THERE is no doubt about how a majority of the
people of Southern Oregon feel on this issue or
the state for that matter and if the House kills the
Lowry bills, either by smothering them in committee,
or voting them down as the bosses of the "SP lobby"
demand, the majority of that body will certainly as
sume a heavy responsibility to be challenged eventual
ly at the polls.
As the majority of the House is Democratic, it is
from this distance, hard to believe that many of the
Democrats will choose to go on record, at such a time
as this, in favor of sacrificing the public welfare to sel
fish and completely mercenary private interests.

What the Country Needs
Many years ago Vice President Marshall acquired
a certain fame by declaring what the country needed
was a good 5-cent cigar.
As a post script to the" text above, we would para
phrase that dictum by declaring what the country
needs today is a lobby of 5 million members.
And that lobby should be devoted, in this state and
nationally, to the public welfare and its advancement,
as opposed to all lobbies or politicians putting their
selfish interest above the interest of the American peo
ple AS A WHOLE. . ,
"117E ARE entirely serious about this.
vv We can, at the moment, think of NOTHING
that, politically speaking at least, would benefit poor
harassed and hard-pressed "Uncle Samuel" more.
We grant all lobbies are not wicked. Even some of
them, devoted to factual clarification of concrete pro
posals, render a real public service.
But they are the expection that only proves the
rule. For as a rule, the lobbies both at Salem and Wash
ington, D.C., but particularly the former, in all too
many cases, find no organized resistance whatever
and none they can't easily overcome, with the result
that not the members but the selfish pressure groups
really determine the sort of legislation that becomes
the law of the state or nation. . -
The net result is not a government "of, by, and for
the people," but a government of, by and for the spe-
! cial interests, and that (to
ment of the week) is NOT
CUCH an organization could easily raise $5,000,000
annually at one dollar per head, and that we
should think would be ample for such a lobby to func
tion for it would have no axe to grind, no interest to
serve but the public interest and no money to spend
except for legitimate and routine expenses.
All that is needed, as we see it, is a LEADER. .
We won't say anything about the man or wom
an we would select, but would welcome sugges
tions and applications from, our readers at'any time.

Matter of Fact
STAR SPANGLED BOA
,' Beirut Even in the lotus
eating peace of this agreeable
city, it is a nervous business try
ing to add up
the results of
the superb re
cent drama in
little Jordan.
The trouble is,
the dangers
that still men
ace young
King Hussein
keep crowding
Joseph Aisop into the fore
ground of the mental picture.
Worse still, just about the big
gest of these dangers takes the
nightmare form of a star spang
led boa constrictor with the
good grey head of John Foster
Dulles. From a tangled Congres
sional thicket, this fearful chi
mera seems to be advancing on
the young King with relentless
affection..
Or does the bright gleam in
the Dulles-boa constrictor's eye
also reflect eager anticipation of
the glorious things that will soon
be said by the professional cele
brators of the Secretary of
State's diplomatic triumphs?
One cannot he ahsnlntelv snrp-
,
but one cannot repress a twinge
of suspicion either.
'
SPEAKING very seriously, this
darkling and fantastic image
represents an all too solid real
ity. One of the biggest dangers
that threatens King Hussein
really is the' public "embrace of
the American State Department.
Furthermore, if the embraces
are administered in the standard
Dulles manner, complete with
military aid missions, press con
ference remarks designed for
Congressional consumption and
the other familiar extras, then
the final result wiU surely be
death by strangulation.
The whole point about the
new position that King Hussein
has. achieved by his own decis
iveness and courage is that the
King cannot maintain this posi
tion except by adhering to a
posture of genuine neutrality.
He has to cope with an in
flamed public opinion at home.
He has to stand off clever pro
Egyptian nationalist, demagogues
who want nothing better than
the smallest pretext to organize
demonstrations against "imper
paying'f or. Nor as they painfully add up the totals, do
they have any inclination in that direction.
They only know how' it hurts. Also how out of rea
son it is. And how, if waste, graft and indolence could
be cut out of the tax departments, local, state and na
tional, how drastically the levy would be reduced.
Therefore .
CO WHY wouldn't it be a pious idea to pin to each
tax statement an ITEMIZED" account of where
that tax money has gone and will go. That is
So much for paved streets, so much for fire and
police protection, so much for health sanitation,
schools and of course the prevention of war, by main
taining a modern atomic army, navy and air force.
(Imagine what the alternative, another war would
cost!) -

forgets it, and probably keeps his temper pretty well
in the area of taxes until tax-paying time comes
around again. Then away he goes on the war path
again.
r '
LJOWEVER we have little hope such a smart and
clever scheme will ever be adopted. And we think
we know the reason why.
It would take so much added clerical work and
add so MUCH to taxes! Everyone in the present state
of the public tax mind at least, would be against

ialist interference." He has just
defeated the forces in his own
country which would have made
Jordan an Egyptian satellite
"neutral for"- the Soviet Union.
He can be anti-Communist, as he
outspokenly is. But he cannot
be" neutral for" anyone, includ
ing the United States.
.
THAT means he cannot safely
be pressed to receive deputa
tions like the Richards' mission,
which he has in fact now refused
to receive. That means he cannot
safely be pressed to adhere to
the glittering public declara
tions, like the Eisenhower Doc
trine, which are now so favored
in Washington. That means, in
short, that he cannot safely be
pressed to please the Senators of
the Appropriations committee
(and thereby makes the State De
partment's life easier) by giving
regular public imitations of a
school boy reciting the oath of
allegiance.
All this was made rather glar
ingly apparent while the crisis
raged in Amman. There was one
moment when it appeared that
the State Department's strange
pressure for an invitation for the
Richards' mission would result
in a really macabre victory for
American diplomacy. The same
groups that would have led the
riots if Richards had come, made
a bargain to invite Richards and
recognize the Soviet Union at
the same time, presenting this
decision as neatly balanced.
Fortunately, this bargain,
which would have made the
State ultimately responsible for
Jordanian recognition of Mos
cow, fell through when Khalidi
Cabinet fell. But the episode was
a sharp little warning all , the
same. So was the censorship by
the King's supporters of Secre
tary of State Dulles pro-Hussein
remarks at his last week's press
conference.
TTNFORTUNATELY, the ugly
fact remains that King Hus
sein cannot pay his army without
an annual subsidy from some
where amounting to between 30
and 40 million dollars a year. He
would never accept money from
Britain again. He cannot get
money from Egypt or Syria, al
though they have promised him
money. Kmg Saud of Saudi Ara-

Ho! Hum!
Everybody is TALKING tax
reduction, but so far nobody is
doing much in the way of CUT
TING SPENDING which must
precede tax reduction if bur
country is to remain solvent.
IN Washington this morning,
Senator Prescott Bush says
congress is in danger of going
off the deep end in its attacks on
the budget. He thinks reckless
talk of sweeping budget cuts will
create the impression that Re
publicans are backing down on
their 1956 campaign promises.
He adds:
"The job requires a surgeon's
scalpel not a butcher's meat
ax." HMMmmmmm!
Senator Prescott Is a Re
publican. He wants the GOP to
stay in power:
If it doesn't, HE might lose
out.
SENATOR Lyndon Johnson of
Texas charges on the senate
floor today that the administra
tion Is "talking out of both sides
of its mouth."
First, he says, it asked con
gress to cut the budget .... and
then it appeals for RESTORA
TION OF CUTS that have al
ready been made.
SENATOR Johnson is a Demo
crat, he'd like to see the Re
publican administration discre
dited so that the Democrats
would be returned to power
in the White House as well as
in the; congress.
In that event, his personal
power would be enhanced.
THIS we must keep in mind:
In Washington, everything
is dominated by politics.
Washington lives on politics.
WHY all this double talk?
It's quite simple. The pol
iticians haven't yet been able to
make up their minds which way
the cat is going to jump. -

Editorial Comment
SHOULD TRY IT
The Jackson county Juvenile
department has asked the coun
ty budget committee for a sub
stantial increase in funds for
the following year. Percentage
wise, the increase is about 81
per cent. In dollars and cents,
it is from $19,000 for this year
to the proposed $32,000 for next
year.
On the surface, this looks like
an unreasonable : request, yet
after hearing a discussion by
bia has helped greatly, but not
to put too fine a point on it, King
Saud is in hock.
'
That means the money must
come from the U.S., but must be
granted without the customary
rigmarole that aid recipients
are required to go through. The
ideal solution would be to find
some means of passing the cash
through the hands of King Saud,
which would cement the Hus-sein-Saud
link and incidentally
drive Egypt's President Nasser
close to madness.
Whatever is done will not be
easy for the Eisenhower Admin
istration to do without the cus
tomary boa constrictoring. But
the guarantee of Jordan against
Israel was a first action of real
courage and decision. Perhaps it
is not too much to hope for a
second action of equal quality.

Wants an Eye-opener
To the Editor: To Mr. Von der
Mass, who is so confused about
God: How can you believe ' in
God if you do not believe his
word? Could men have written
so perfect a book that could
have affected every nation of the
earth? Truly the Scriptures were
inspired by ' God, " who would
want mankind to hear of his ex
istence, if only for .nan's salva
tion. You apparently believe in
an immortal soul. (You stated
that "only the form dies.") Is
this not the Bible's teachings?
But if you do not believe God's
word then you must believe sin
ners and Saints both get equal
rewards, that we can sin pr not
as we desire.
God's word clearly states to go
to His Kingdom instead of ever
lasting damnation, that you must
believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
as your Saviour and repent of
your sins.
Those who do not believe in
the Virgin birth, Christ's death
for mankind, and his glorious
resurrection, shall not be saved!
Jesus Christ is not only God's
Son manifest in the flesh, but He
is God himself, stated clearly in
His Word.
I will pray for you that your
eyes may be opened, that you
will see that your soul's salva
tion depends upon believing the
truth of God's word.

P0TIUCK
(By M-T Staff and Contribution)
The long arm of the law
reached out and tapped three
Mail Tribune staffers last week.
Our favorite society editor got
fined, three bucks. She parked
her car just outside , the office
one day, then got so embroiled
with visitors and 'phone calls
she forgot it, and got to thinking
she'd parked it down the street
where they haven't put parking
meters yet. At the end of the day
she searched and searched, and
was just about ready to call the
police to report it stolen when
she found it in front of the of
fice, with a gay little summons
on the windshield.
Another offender was our fa
vorite bookkeeper, who also
parked in front of the office for
"just a minute," and forgot it
long enough to get one of those
handsome orange tickets.
The third transgressor got off
easier, but it wasn t easy. This
reporter (also a female) parked
to figure out which IS the popu
lar side, they'll, have to go on
talking out of both sides of their
mouths.
That's about the size of it.
F's a tough problem there can
be no doubt about that.
For a long, long time, it was
quite obvious that a majority of
the people liked heavy spend
ing. They figured that the more
money government spent the
more money would be floating
around loose. The more money
floating around loose, they reas
oned, the better their chances
would be to get hold of some
of it.
But
There are signs that the ordi
nary, average voter is beginning
to realize that if the tax collec
tors TOOK LESS MONEY OUT
OF HIS POCKET he'd have
more money left to spend for
himself.
That complicates the political
situation.
Mrs. Kay Crowell, county ju
veriile officer, this expenditure
might be a very good investment
for the county.
-
During i the last year, Mrs.
Crowell ind one assistant were
available for juvenile work, but
for a part of. the year, the post
of the assistant officer' was va
cant.. This shortage meant that
in many cases little more than
cursory work could be done.
Under the proposed budget,
there would be three assistants
to Mrs. Crowell, plus an office
stenographer. This would result
in a little more than doubling
the present staff and should per
mit much more extensive work
on juvenile problems.
We pause right here to point
out that the so-called juvenile
problem, in almost every situa
tion, has its roots in a family
problem, which complicates
many situations. There is no. set
formula in a juvenile case; each
is different, caused by different
environments, different family
backgrounds and influences and
some of the most difficult cases
come from homes where there
is no financial strain or stress.
'While we dislike advocacy of
higher costs in county govern
ment, a one year trial of a
better staffed juvenile depart
ment should prove whether the
additional expenditure . is justi
fied. At the end of a year the
budget ' could be reduced if
worthwhile progress could not be
shown. Ashland Daily Tidings.
ASKS FOR FAIR PLAY
Labor has thrown much more
support to Democrats in recent
years than to Republicans.
Whether that becomes embarass
ing to individuals depends pretty
much on the. circumstances sur
rounding the support. Just be
cause Morse and Neuberger got
support from the teamsters
should carry no more imputa
tion of smear than for other can
didates, like Eisenhower and
Paul Patterson,.- who also en
joyed their support. Nor is it
fair or accurate to impute to the
Oregon senators any condoning
of Beck's misdeeds either by
word or by silence. We protest
ed the inference in testimony
that the teamsters controlled the
late Governor Patterson and in
the interest of fairness protest
the inference conveyed in the
Tucker report on Morse and
Neuberger. Salem Oregon
Statesman.
THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER
We could -not put power quite
at the bottom of the totem pole
of all water uses. Fortunately,
running water through a turbine
doesn't use it up, and the pro
duction of power doesn't neces
sarily conflict with all other
uses, although some conflicts
are inherent. There is contro
versy in our region as to how
our rivers should be developed.
On both sides of the controversy,
however, there is recognition
that water is a thing to be cher
ished and not to be wasted. As
time goes on, this will become
more apparent to all of us. Ore

drant is near the corner, and
the street space next to it is

of the hydrant and the yellow
lines, and marched" td court Fri

to stop misleading parking-place-seeking
