MARVIN MADDEN
(Democratic candidate for
County Clerk)
I appreciate the opportunity
the Medford Mail Tribune has
afforded the candidates to ex
press themselves concerning
their qualifications, platforms
and other matters pertinent to
the coming election on Nov.
4. '
Since there is considerable
biographical material in the
Voter's Pamphlet which all
registered voters will receive
in the near future, I would
like to devote this space to a
discussion of the manner in
which I would conduct the
county clerk's office if elect
; ed.
; Primarily, I think the most
1 important aspect is economy,
but with efficiency. There is
no question about the effic
; ient manner in which the of
' fice is being run at the pres
ent time, but there is some
question of costs which bear
looking into. Those of you
who have watched the annual
budgets carefully will remem
ber that the costs of operating
the office have risen annual
ly and as much as $15,000 for
the -year 1959. It seems to me
that the real test is whether
the office can be administer
ed efficiently but more eco
nomically. To accomplish this
a close examination of all ex
penditures and the maximum
application of all employees
will be required. I am con
fident that greater economy
can be effected.
Secondly, I feel that court
eous treatment of the public
is very important. Each per
son's problems should be met
with the same courtesy and
dispatch to which he is ac
customed in his dealings with
private business. It is inex
cusable for elected or hired
public servants to behave in
differently toward the, public.
The taxpayers are the hiring
agents and this is a fact that
should be kept well in mind.
If elected, it would give me
great satisfaction if I could
be instrumental in getting a
great mass of the unregistered
14,000 people in Jackson
county to tjie polls. It is a
real tragedy when so many
people voluntarily deny them
selves the most precious right
they have. It would be a very
big job, but it could be ac
complished by continuous
work, publicizing the need to
register, working with service
clubs, farm organizations,
precinct workers and any or
ganization or individuals who
would be willing to get out
and impress upon the people
of Jackson county that they
cannot have truly representa
tive government until every
qualified man and woman is
tallied.
In conclusion, if I am elect
ed to the office of county
clerk, I would cooperate with
other elected county officials
toward the most efficient and
economical administration of
the office. Constructive ad
vice would always be readily
accepted as I recognize that
an outside point of view is
sometimes more valuable.
However, if legal counsel
were required, I would con
tact the district attorney
whose services are available
at no additional cost. The
duties and the authority of

BERETH HOPKINS
(Republican Candidal for
County Clerk)
I am seeking reelection be
cause I feel Jackson county
is entitled to benefit from the
investment made in my five
years experience administer
ing the office. The program
of reorganization started in
1953 is well on its way to
completion. I want fo finish
the job and guarantee that
the progress made in estab
lishing an efficient, economi
cal operation will not be disrupted.
I know county government;
the functions and responsi
bilities of the clerk's office.
I feel it is vital that this of
fice be conducted in a non
partisan and professional
manner. This has been suc
cessfully achieved under my
direction- I will assuredly
continue to give to the peo
ple of Jackson county the
same businesslike and super
ior service which my staff
and I have-taken so much
pride in developing. I have
no ambition or desire for per
sonal gain, politically or oth
erwise. I wish only to be of
maximum service to my com
munity. I believe I can con
tribute substantially through
my experience to the overall
strength and economical ad
ministration of the local gov
ernment. Jackson county entrusts to
the clerk's office all perman
ent and confidential records.
We are completely responsible
for their security and safe
keeping. These records safe
guard rights of citizens who
own land, water rights, min
ing claims; those who loan or
borrow money; precious adop
tion and marriage documents; j
court records, etc. Permanent
safety and security depends
entirely on the manner in
which records are handled
and cared lor. "Not only must
the legal requirements for
filing and recording be ob
served but the manner in
which records are stored and
preserved from dust, deter
ioration, fire and theft is of
utmost importance. Under my
administration records are
kept clean and repaired. Or
iginal records which I found
in a state of deterioration
have been cleaned and many
restored. If restoration was
impossible copies have been
made for public use; the or
iginals carefully stored for
safe keeping in a clean vault.
Modern standards of busin
ess administration and meth
ods of operation have been ap
plied in the four departments
I established to replace the
expensively disorganized man
ner of operation I found five
years ago.

Airliner-Fighter
Plane Crash. Probed
Anzio, Italy - (UPD -British
and Italian air experts today
began an investigation of 'the
crash that shouldn't have hap
pened" the collision of a
British airliner and an Italian
jet fighter which killed 31
persons over this World War
II beachhead.
The collision, in broad day
light and c r y s t a 1-clear
weather, touched off an im
mediate controversy. The
Italian air force charged that
the airliner- was off course,
while British airline agents
argued that it was well within
the charted London-to-Naples
airlane.
Eleven Italian investiga
tors, led by air force Gen. Do-
menico Ludovice, met here
this morning to try to deter
mine the cause of the crash.
Britain was represented by
Anthony Milward, president
of the Nationalized British Eu
ropean Airways Corporation.
The condtion of the wreck
age indicated that that the
U.S.-made F84 fighter ripped
into the side of the BEA tur
boprop Viscount, exploding
its pressurized cabin and kill
ing all of its 31 passengers
and crewmen.
the county clerk are well de
fined and it would be my in
tention to work within the
definition of the office.
If you feel that my quali
fications and program are de
serving, I would certainly ap
preciate your vote on Nov. 4.
I can assure you that I will
work hard and conscientious
ly to conduct the office of
county clerk as I think it
should be.
