Voters9 Job
Three "sample" ballots were published in the
Mail Tribune yesterday, in much the same form
voters will see when they go to the polls May 16.
They are both Republican and Democratic
ballots for the primary or "nominating" election,
and the non-partisan ballot, which contains the
names of the, candidates for five judicial offices,
and the one county-wide measure up for approval
of the people.
These are the two ballots which most voters
will receive: either the Democratic or Republi
can, according to party affiliation, and the non
partisan ballot.
VOTERS who are not party members will re-
In addition, voters of the city of Medford
will receive a city ballot, asking approval of two
annexation proposals, to bring into the city prop
er two areas now surrounded by the city, but not
part of it, sort of "islands" in county territory in
the city.
Details of these proposals also are being pub
lished in full, although in "legal" form, rather
than ballot form.
Therefore, a registered voter of either of the
two main parties, who lives in Medford, will re
ceive three ballots.
THIS may seem a bit complicated, but consider,
1 in contrast, the Portland voter.
He will receive his party nominating ballot,
a non-partisan judicial ballot, a rural school
board ballot (which election was held in Jackson
county Monday, but is held in Multnomah county
May lb, the non-partisan regular municipal bal
lot for officials and five proposed charter am
endments, and a special municipal ballot, for a
charter amendment study and five proposed an
nexations. This Portland voter then will be handed a
total of five ballots, all
cated, all of them important, and several of them
likely to cost him money, one way or another.
It is a real job to be
But, this month, anyway, it will be more of a job
in Portland than it is in Jackson county. E. A.
Two Annexations
The two annexation proposals mentioned
above if approved would bring about 295 more
acres into the city limits. .
One of the two areas is the old Phipps ranch,
a 150-acre area east of Bear creek, south of Mc
Andrews road, west of Crater Lake avenue and
north of what would be
projected westward. ;
The other is a plot totaling 145 acres east of
South Riverside avenue, north of Stewart avenue
and an easterly, projection of the line of that
street (except federal and county property), and
south and west of Larhart street and Bear creek.

In the area to the south, for instance, there
are a number of septic tanks and cess pools, which
constitute a hazard to the entire city, and which
should be .served by the city's sewer system as
rapidly as possible.
That one reason alone is more than sufficient
to cause city voters to vote "yes" at the election.
There are other reasons," too the extension of
police and fire protection, the effectiveness of
zoning laws, and so on.
TTHE other area, the Phipps - ranch, likewise

He Is For Gill
To the Editor: On May 3 at
Talent,- Elmo Smith, who is
the state campaign chairman
for Mark Hatfield, gave a talk
regarding Hatfield's tax posi
tion which was reported in
your issue of May 4. Presum
ably, Mr. Smith, because of
his position, can speak for Mr.
Hatfield. While I did not hear
the speech, I think it is reas
onable to believe that your re
port was accurate.
Mr. Smith states that the
sales tax should be rejected
because it is burdensome to
low income families and that
Oregon's need for revenue
should be met by broadening
the income tax base.
There are two . ways to
broaden the income, tax base.
One is to slash personal ex
emptions so as to bring more
people into the tax-paying
category. The other is to tax
organizations and institutions
that are not now subject to
income tax. Why cannot Mr.
Smith state clearly what he
means?
. "Broadening the tax base"
is a weasel phrase that must
mean either an increased bur
den on low income families as
well as moderate-and higher
income families or taxation of
churches, hospitals and charit
able institutions that are now
income tax exempt. Which of
these alternatives does - Mr.
Smith favor?
Warren Gill, who is also a
candidate for Republican
nomination for governor,
states his tax position clearly
and simply. One, he will sup
port a 3 .per cent sales tax
(food, medicine, seed and fer
tilizer to be free of tax); all of
the revenue to be used to re-4
duce local real and personal
property tax. Two, he'll veto
any increase in income taxes.
Three, he will veto any state
property . tax. Four, he will
propose a homestead exemp
tion from property tax for citi
zens over the age of 65 who
have less than $150 a month
income. A vote for Warren
Gill, is a vote for a definite
understandable tax position.

Stands Up for Porter
To the Editor: Mr.. John
Hale Foster, whose letter ap
peared in Sunday's paper,
read in a metropolitan news
paper about- Representative
Charles Porter's journey to
the Pacific to observe the nu
clear testing but says he was
unable to discover on whose
authority the trip was made1.'
If Mr. Foster had read the
account of this event in the
Mail Tribune, he would have
seen that Mr. Porter was in
vited to attend by the chair
man of the joint Congressional
sub-Committee' on Atomic
Energy, who evidenUy has
more respect for our Congress
man's opinion and reputation
than Mr. Foster.
As for the planting of the
Douglas fir in Times Square,
what better way to help ad
vertise Oregon and its coming
Centennial celebration?
I am proud of our freshman
Congressman from the Fourth
District of Oregon: he is giv
ing outstanding service to his
District, his State and to the
United States. As a taxpayer,
I would be deeply dissatisfied
with a Representative who sat
back and did nothing,- as Mr.
Foster seems to think should
be the case.
Instead of carpingly trying
to belittle a man of Charles
Porter's stature, Mr. Foster
would do well to spend more
time acquainting himself with
the facts.

'Leave itlonei4
From a Partisan of Perl
To the Editor: Mrs. Driscoll
states in -her communication
of May 5 that she is confused
as to why some of the funeral
directors of Jackson county
worked in '56 to have a bill
passed which would qualify
coroners. The reason was that
the funeral directors in ques
tion sincerely felt that if each
county had a qualified coroner
such as a medical examiner or
a trained investigator, it
would be compulsory to have
the "Fair Rotation Plan" as
proposed by Mr. Frank Perl.'
The Rotation Plan is suc
cessfully in effect today in
Washington,, California, Ne
vada, Arizona and many other
states, along with our neigh
bor, Klamath county. This con
cerns only such cases coming
under the jurisdiction of the
county coroner when there is
no family preference.
I understand that Mrs. Dris
coll's son is employed by Mr.
Morris, so I can appreciate
why she is biased. Mr. Perl
has stated that he wiU work
for the combined interests of
the-people of Jackson county
and for the best interests of
the five mortuaries. Since Mr.
Perl is as well qualified as
any other funeral director, he
deserves our wholehearted
support in the primaries, May
16, for taking this forward
step in bringing Jackson coun
ty up to date. Sixteen years is
long enough for one local firm
to have the advantages of the
coroner's office. It is time for
a change!

Jaycees Commended
To the Editor: May I,
through the courtesy of your
correspondence column, pay
heart-felt tribute to the com
mittee responsible for the
drawing up of the program
for the recent Jaycees : con
vention. Included in the agen
da was the service held at the
Holly Theater on Sunday at
9:30 a.m., attended by over
100 delegates and at which
the Rev. G. R. V. Bolster, rec
tor of St. Mark's Episcopal
church, gave a very impres
sive address.
In planning this service the
program committee has, per
haps, given a lead for other
week end conventions to fol
low, wherever in Oregon they
may be held, for as far as my
knowledge goes it is not, not
has it been, the custom to in
clude in the activities of such
conventions a divine service.
I am sure I am expressing
the appreciation of very many
in commending the Jaycees'
committee for its action 'in
giving this lead.

'Talky-Talk' About
Ike's Resignation
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (IP) Chair
man Paul M. Butler of the
Democratic National commit
tee has heard a lot of talk-
talk among
the Washing
ton newsmen
that your
correspondent
somehow has
missed.
That would
seem unlikely
on the face of
it, but it could
tvie c. wuson be true: Who
heard what wouldn't make
much difference, anyway, but
for the fact that Butler re
ports the newsmen's grape
vine to be twanging with re
ports that there is a deal for
President Eisenhower to re
sign. Butler told a questioning
panel on MBS' Reporters
Roundup that he ' thought a
deal had been made between
the President and Vice Presi
dent and Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon for the former
to quit after this year's con
gressional elections.
"This is something that is
very difficult to prove," But
ler said, "But certainly there
has been so much talk and
conversation about it in of
ficial circles and particularly
among the Washington press
corps that it would appear
that there is some basis for
it."
Not From Press Pundits
It is true that there was a
deal, announced by the Pres
ident some, weeks ago. It
was . an agreement as to the
circumstances and method by
which Nixon would take over
as acting president if the boss
were incapacitated. This was
no such deal as Butler sug
gested, however.
Neither is any deal by
dwelled upon by "indecent"
thoughts. As Icing as I can
open my eye's wide enough, I
feel sure I'll be capable of
opening my mind so that it
too! can be cleansed by the
fresh air and made flexible in
the warmth of the sun.

Look Carefully Before
You Vote
To the Editor: I agree with
Mr. Logan that many lawyers
become demagogues, and I
have noticed also that there
are many that are unsuccess
ful and mediocre, and so go
into public office to obtain
prestige and experience at the
taxpayers' expense, which will
enable them to make a better
living in private practice.
The only solution I can see
is to raise the salaries of our
public offices , so we can at
tract the best qualified mate
rial. We must also study the
background of every aspirant
for public office very closely.
Do not go alone by the few
paragraphs in the Voters Pam
phlet or the claims of their
campaign managers. Ask ques
tions of people that know
them personally who can give
you true unbiased informa
tion. Jesus said:
."Beware of the scribes,
who like to go about in long
robes, and love salutations
in the market places, and
the best seats in the syna
gogues, and the places of
honor at feasts, who devour
widows houses and for a
pretense make long pray
ers. They wUl receive the
greater condemnation."

Situation on Summit
of receiving them together.
This is a clumsy procedure,
in which Gromyko may be ex
pected to do all he can to
divide the three Western
allies and thus strengthen
Russia's position.
But once the talks get real
ly started, the way may be
cleared for a meeting of for
eign ministers which in turn
would lead to the long-dis-cussed
summit meeting of
heads of government.
Meeting Not Certain
There still is no certainty
that a summit conference will
be held, of course. The bicker
ing over preparatory negotia
tions and the complete ab
sence of any apparent basis
for agreement between East
and West on means of redue-
which the President would re
sign soon or ever much dis
cussed or given credance at
the grill tables or at t he bar
of the National Press Club
where Washington, newsmen
gossip most often and most
freely.
One day you can set a bet
that the President will not
live out his second term. Anr
other day you can eet a bet
that he will. Bets that he will
up and quit in any deal to
put Nixon in the White
House, however, are few, if
any, although they might be
had at the right odds.
Butler, however, may have
heard a garbled version of
something which occasionally
can be heard where newsmen
gather to talk sIiod. This
would be the judgment some
times expressed by reporters
who claim some knowledge
of politics that it would be
good for the Republican
party if President Eisenhower
stepped down soon.
Would Improve-1960 Chancei
Whatever might be the cir
cumstances of his retirement
certain political events would
follow. The chief of these
would be that Nixon would
become President and the
practically unchallenged Doli
tical leader of the Republican
party, and that he would be
nominated for President in
I960 by a substantially har
monious Republican National
Convention.

to this fact:' Nixon's or any
Republican's chances of get

ing world tension seems to
offer no solid ground for hope
that a summit conference can
accomplish anything.
However, the feeling seems
to he strong among most of
the members of the North At
lantic Treaty Organization
that however pessimistic the
atmosphere, the conference
should be held.
It has now been nearly five
months since the Russians
started clamoring for a con
ference. Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles, who has never
been enthusiastic over the
idea, now has some doubt that
Russia really wants a confer

sincerity of Russia's expressed
desire for the summit confer

On the other hand, one Cop

word is being circulated there
that Soviet Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev not only wants a

one to maintain his position
in the Kremlin leadership.
ThisreDort is being soread
by Eastern . European diplo
mats. The idea is that Khrush
chev needs the conference to
maintain his prestige against
the opposition of fellow-leaders
who favor a return to old
fashioned harsh Stalinist (dic

this may be a bit of Soviet
propaganda, intended to per
suade the Western allies that
they had better hold a con

or see an intensification of the

would indicate that Khrush

that the Democrats in 1960

LAWYER POLLS
' The ones best acquainted
