The "Wife-Beating" Bit
We once took a course in college which in
cluded a section on the analysis of propaganda
techniques.
The instructor listed some of the better-known
and well-recognized of them about 10, if we
recall correctly.
One of them, for lack of a better phrase, was
called the "wife-beating" technique. It received
its name from the old, old question, "Have you
stopped beating- vour wife? A
The hapless object
uuemma. u ne says "no"
beat his wife. If he says
a wue-oeaier.
THERE are, of course,
- xecnnique. une of tnem might be called the
"unanswerablequestion."
It is this which is being used by the Jackson
County Republican Central Committee in what
has come to be called, among Democrats and
some Republicans alike, their "Hate Duncan"
campaign. ....
m Readers may have noticed their ad in last
night's Mail Tribune, which posed, a series of
nine questions to State Representative Robert
B. Duncan.
Each of the questions is "loaded" that is,
each refers to a rather complicated matter, over
simplifies it, slants it to sound as unfavorable as
possible, and then poses the popper, the question
which cannot be answered "yes" or "no" with
out damning the answerer.
THIS is sometimes pretty darned effective.
if .Duncan, lor instance, replies
hung. If he answers simply "no," he's subject
to charges of misrepresentation.
And if he attempts a detailed and correct
answer, placing the matter in true perspective
ana giving nis reasons, lew voters are going to
take the time to read it.
So the GOP Committee figures it can't lose.
But we wonder if the voters are going to be
fooled by this obvious "wife-beating" style of
political propaganda. "
They shouldn't be. Bob Duncan's record is
a good one, and fully defensible. It is a record
of progressiveness, but with an -eye to economy.
Jackson county is fortunate in having a young,
able, aggressive and intelligent representative
who need apologize for nothing.
Don't let "wife-beating" fool you. E.A.
On Tax Exemptions
We found exceedingly interesting County As
sessor Ray Schumacher's recent report on the
extent of tax-exempt property in Jackson county.
Total assessed valuation of taxable propertv
in the county is $85,602,672. Valuation of tax-
exempt property is estimated at $56,i6,4yu.
The more tax-exempt property is. the more
of the tax burden that has to be earned by tax
able property.
IT. IS EASY to misinterpret these figures, how
1 ever. It must be remembered that by far the
largest portion of the tax-exempt properties be
long to the U.S. government specifically the
forest service and the
ment and constitute the counters greatest sin
gle' natural resource, the forests.
'Also, even though they are tax exempt, these
federal properties more than pay their way,
through percentages of revenue which are paid
to the county. In the case of BLM revenue, it is
75 per cent; forest service, 25 per cent.
In effect, rather than being a detriment by
being off the tax rolls, they actually have made
it unnecessaiy to levy taxes for county purposes
in Jackson county for three years.
'
DUT other than these highly productive tax-free
lands, other government-owned and tax-free
properties are, speaking from a taxpayer's point
of view, a liability rather than an asset. These
include all federal, state, county, city, school dis
trict and "special" district properties. Of course
they are necessaiy, and it would be silly for them
to pay taxes. It would be taking public money
from one pocket and putting it in another.
There- are still other-classes of tax-exempt
properties, however those owned by churches,
hospitals, veterans groups and other non-profit
organizations, and property which has earned a
tax exemption by being owned by a disabled
veteran or veteran's widow.
There are other classifications which pay no
personal property taxes, including state and na
tional banks, production credit associations, and
building and loan associations. Orchard trees are
tax-free.
MO ONE would argue with many of these, tax
exemptions, but as the assessor pointed out,
each year the legislature is asked by additional
groups for tax-exemption. And each request is
difficult to resist, when it is pointed out how
many now have such tax exemption.
This is hot to argue that all or. any of these
exemptions should be ended. But it is to suggest
that perhaps the time is coming when property
taxpayers could be excused for wondering just
how far this process of tax exemptions should go.
One current proposal is for exemption of
"homesteads,'.' or residential properties.
Worthy as all these may be, there is a limit
to the load which taxable property in any state
can carry. And the more tax-exempt properties
there are, the heavier the burden for, taxable
property. E.A,

Central Point Politics
To the Editor: In the great
excitement of a national elec
tion, I wonder if we do not
lose sight of the 'great import
ance of our own small town
elections.
Take the case of Central
Point, one of the fastest grow
ing small towns in the State.
The citizens of Central Point
should be very thankful on
the eve of election for the op
portunity to vote for so many
good candidates for city of
fices, along with our state and
national candidates.
A mayor, three councilmen,
a city recorder, ana a cny
treasurer will be elected in
Central . Point come election
day.
For mayor we will have the
opportunity to vote for Free
man Mason, who resides at 920
Oak st. Mr. Mason, a resident
of Central Point for the past
seven years, employed by Tex
as Oil Co., was many years
with Tom Whittle Construc
tion Co. Mr. Mason is chair
man of Central Point Plan
ning Commission. He has two
children who have graduated
from Crater High, and has
two in school now. Freeman
Mason, along with Don Burel
son, both filed for the office
of mayor; but Don Burelson
has retired from the race and
is moving out of town.
Freeman Mason will make a
good mayor for Central Point
a mayor for all the people.
His wide business experience
win help a lot in city adminis
tration. A vote for Freeman
Mason is a vote for good gov
ernment. Among the many candi
dates for Councilmen, here
are some of the good men that
you can vote for:
In Ward 1 Bill Colley, E.
R. Yocum, Art Rupp all able
candidates. Take your choice.
Ward 2 Les Bigham, Dale
Bartley, Gay . Anderson aU
able candidates. Take your
choice.
Ward 3 Don Patterson,
Jerry Bianconi. Both have
wide business and adminis
trative experience. Take your
pick.
For Recorder Lyle Paull,
the present recorder, running
for re-election, has proved his
ability in his two years in city
hall. He deserves re-election,
as his record in the past two
years speaks for itself.
Yes, Central Point is fortun
ate to have the many good can
didates to chose from, come
election day.
Yours for a better Central
Point,
John Cupp,

From League
To the Editor: Before the
League of Women Voters re
tires to its accustomed place
on the women's page, I should
like to thank you, your city
editor, and his staff for the su
perb coverage and encourage
ment you gave to our recent
Candidates' Fair.
In that coverage you did far
more than just publicize a lo
cal political event. You made
thousands of Jackson county
voters aware of the fact that
there are sources of non
partisan election information
and that there are fine candi
dates on both sides of the
political fence.
The League of Women
Voters would like to com
mend you, too, for the many
columns and pages you have
devoted to the views of the
candidates, both Democratic
and Republican, and to pre
sentation of pro and con ma
terial oa all the ballot mea
sures we vote on next Tues
day. '
I should also like to thank
publicly the many other indi
v i d u a 1 s and organizations
whose help made the Fair a
success the party v commit
tees and candidates for their
efforts on and in their booths;
the Junior Chamber of Com
merce and Jaycettes for serv
ing coffee and cookies provid
ed by the MJB Coffee com
pany, and the Lady Lions of
Medford, Phoenix, and Eagle
Point; Purucker's Music Store,
Jack Stong, and the Shadows
of St. Mary's high school for
musical entertainment; and
the many exhibitors especial
ly the Automatic Voting Ma
chine corporation for provid
ing and demonstrating a vot
ing machine.
An especial thank you is
due the many local firms who
generously gave their own ad
vertising space to promotion
of th Fair, and to Mon Desir,
Mary's Casa, Wainscott's
Pharmacy, and Norton Lum
ber company for donation of
prizes. To the personnel of
Hedrick junior high school,
our thanks for their coopera
tion from planning through
clean-up.

Supports Death Penally
To the Editor. Regarding
proposal No. 4 on the general
election ballot. According to
the information furnished the
public a person sentenced to
life imprisonment for, mur
der in the first degree will be
come eligible for parole after
serving 15 years of that sen
tence, and, thus may again
prey upon society. After the
commission of another mur
der he can again be sentenced
to life imprisonment and be
come eligible for parole after
a period of 15 years.
To make the proposed
changes in our laws more con
fusing there seems to be a
proviso whereby a person
serving a life sentence who
commits murder may be sen
tenced to suffer death. In
other words, a lifer who kills
another lifer can be sentenced
to death but that same lifer
could have murdered a re
spectable member of society
and serve but 15 years of a
life sentence.
It would seem to the under
signed that the more equit
able method to impose punish
ment would be to leave the
maximum sentences as they
now are and to require trial
be had only to bring forth the
facts in each case and not
permit the eloquenceof coun
sel to influence the findings
or to confuse the facts.
If the proposal to abolish
capital punishment is passed
at the general election it is
the understanding of your
writer that the Governor can
commute all death sentences
to life imprisonment, and 15
years from the date of trial
and conviction these murder
ers can be paroled at the will
of the state parole board, this
whether or not the original
crime of murder was com
plicated with sexual perver
sion. I don't like to think my
loved ones will be subject to
the whims of sexual perverts
and the acts of murderers
loosed pon them by a be
nevolent governor and a com
pliant legislature. Murder in
the first .degree is a heinous
crime, to me, and one that
should be punishable by the
imposition of a death sen
tence, except in those cases
where th jury, with its first
hand knowledge, recommends
life imprisonment.

Ostriches?

Editor's note: The following
picture accompanied Mr.
Peat's letter:
Slap at Hatfield
To the Editor: The Hatfield
an candidate for Governor has
been telling the voters of Ore
gon how much integrity he
personally thinks he has. Ap
parently this virtuous self-assessment
doesn't go back to
1951 when, during the height
of the McCarthy hysteria, he
sponsored a bill in the state
house of representatives es
tablishing a discriminatory
teachers loyalty oath, aimed
at every teacher, on all levels,
private schools as well as
public. Governor Holmes was
a state senator at that time
and spoke against the bill and
voted against it.
This young man has been
busy teUing us he "has added
a new, fresh' and dynamic
quality to state government
in Oregon." He is fresh all
right when he expects Ore
gonians to believe - he is a
liberal when his teachers
loyalty oath pointed an ac
cusing finger at the reputa
tion and loyalty of each of our
devoted teachers.
I guess you can say he is
dynamic when you look at his
record in the state senate in
1955 when he cast the only
vote against a resolution en
dorsing Alaskan statehood.
But this is double talk he is
disributing around the state
designed to exhibit his in
tegrity is nothing new. It is
the usual Republican tech
nique of blaming the Demo
crats for policies and a busi
ness climate they themselves
nurtured in the 20 years of
complete Republican domina
tion our state has suffered
under. ...
. Let's vote for Bob Holmes
a Governor who relies on his
long public record of construc
tive improvement in our pri
mary, secondary and higher
schools to show his strength
of character.

Challenges Statements
To the Editor: It seems that
during an election campaign
those public servants who are
running for reelection, regard
less of their party affiliation,
must bear the brunt of un
kind remarks whether they
be true or not. I cannot help
but comment on certain state
ments made recently in your
columns by a Mr. R. H. South
ard concerning County Com
missioner Chester Wendt.
He indicated that Wendt
was responsible for closing of
Beebe Road without author
ity and then in contradiction
indicated that Wendt was a
"yes man" for Mr. Keating.
Of course this road is not
closed, to Bear Creek and al
though space does not permit
a . discussion as to why the
bridge was never replaced,
it was through no fault of
Chester Wendt.
I have had occasion to ap
pear before the county court
many times, and anyone who
has ever visited the court
knows that Wendt has a mind
of his own and although he
is a quiet man, he does not
hesitate to express himself
quite forcefully at times. I
have seen him disagree with
Mr. Keating several times and
although it never came to a
heated argument, he stuck by
his own decisions. .
Southard referred to the De
tention Home as a pet project
of Wendt and described it as
looking like a dog kennel. I
wouldn't want my name on a
dog kennel, but I'm proud to
have it appear on the front
of this building. The build
ing has been referred to by
many prominent people
throughout the state as one
of the finest institutions of
its kind. It has required only
two people to supervise the
children in detention, not five
as indicated by Southard.
Mr. Wendt and the other
members of the court need
not apologize to anyone about
the manner in which this
building was constructed and
furnished. The voters of the
county authorized the build
ing of a Detention home, not
a wing on the courthouse, and
the county court built them
a good building. They should
be proud of it.

Suggests Different Approach
To the Editor: Regarding
your front page pictures of
properties that are not beau-
IUU1.
They indicate to me the
"mental yard" of those re
sponsible is sort of bushy, in
termingled with green grass
grown too long and full of
weeds.
Rather than subject the in
habitants to the embarrass
ment (that only the ignorant
and supercillious do) why not
portray pictures of well-kept
yards, ect., and suggest oth
ers emulate in such manner?
Perhaps some of these
homes are inhabited by peo
ple too old, or financially un
able to keep their places as
beautiful as the "Almighty"
in Medford would have them.
Did anyone bother to find
out?
Medford, the fourth largest
city in the state, is not so
metropolitan that people
won't recognize the homes
and friends of neighbors.
Pictures yes! but not to hu
miliate the dignity of people.
Having been a resident of
Medford for 30 years, I can
well remember individuals
during those "depression"
years, that couldn't ;afford a
jack-knife to trim trees or cut
grass, who today are living
on "Snob Hill."
I enjoy seeing people pros
per, i.e., nice homes, lawns,
etc., but cannot appreciate a
"holier than thou" attitude.
Surely more favorable results
could be obtained by a differ
ent approach.
Make Medford Beautiful,
but let us be beautiful in the
manner which we do it.

Retirement Attractions
To the Editor: Your editor
ial titled "Happy in the Mid
dle" pleased me immensely.
Blare along the same line
could help keep southern Ore
gon the most desirable spot
in the West for healthful liv
ing. There are hundreds of
prosperous communities in
America that are not factory
towns.
Clean air and streams of
pure water are the magnets
that make this region so at
tractive to people who are re
tiring; people who no longer
have to stay with a job or a
business in an industrialized
area. Such people are respon
sible for the big increase in
the population of southern
Oregon in recent years. Fac
tories have not helped in that
increase for we have added
no large ones.
People who have come here
to retire have brought about
increased employment for
store clerks, bookkeepers, me
chanics, auto salesmen and
many others. They have great
ly increased business for mer
chants, doctors, cleaning estab
lishments, auto agencies and
other businesses. These re
tired people receive their in
come from the cities and
states where they lived and
made their money. They spend
that income here. It is new
money pouring into our Jack
son county every month of the
year. These retired people do
not compete with others for
jobs. Few of them seek any
kind of employment.
One hundred retired peo
ple increase business and em
ployment as much as a big fac
tory. They spend their in
comes here. Many factories
send their profits to head of
fices in other states.
Why knock ourselves out
trying to get big industries to
locate in our valley? The best
promotional skill and big
county expenditures will
scarcely overcome the high
freight rates and the long
hauls to markets that face an
industry that locates here.
Let's try for plants that
manufacture electronic equip
ment, precision instruments
and a thousand other products
that constitute light industry,
and let Detroit, Birmingham,
Los Angeles and others have
the smog and water pollution
common to the heavy indus
tries. We can influence thou
sands more people to retire in
our county, and as long as we
keep it free from sulphuric
fumes and other poisonous
gases, there will be small cost
involved in persuading them
to come here to enjoy clean
air, good health and a longer
life.

Vote It Straight
To the Editor: After listen
ing to dear old- "affable Ike"
make his pitiful appeals to
the public, it doesn't take a
very brilliant mind to realize
the GOP is making a desper
ate and last attempt to hood
wink the people, same as
before.
They insult our intelligence
if they think we are that
gullible again.
It's rather sad, but terribly
Lunfair to the voters to mis
lead them by using the influ
ence of a good, but disabled
man to arouse sympathy. If
their record of service doesn't
speak for itself (and it surely
doesn't) they, had best fold

Editorial Comment
Porter for Congressman
Charles O. Porter of Oregon's Fourth District is the out
standing representative ever sent to the Congress of the
United States by an Oregon district and is one of the out
standing freshman congressman in American history.
Charlie Porter has political courage, inteligence far be
yond the average member of the Congress, a heart that de
mands he always fight for the morally right thing, energy
that beggars the stamina of friend and foe, a dedication to the
economic good of his congressional district, an organizational
genius for getting things done, and a keen understanding of
the merits of men and issues.
Charlie Porter beyond doubt is headed up the ladder of
national leadership. He is going far and has already, although
only a one-term congressman, attracted the plaudits and ad
miration of thousands of thinking people and thinking lead
ers throughout the Western hemisphere.
Charlie Porter is a democrat with a small "d" in the fin
est American tradition. He is a fighter for all our ideological
traditions.
Charlie Porter is the first candidate for any office In
many, many years that this newspaper can support and
endorse absolutely without qualification. He is the most
qualified man in Oregon's Fourth district to represent it, and
represent the American people as well, in the U.S. House of
Representatives.
Perhaps the best endorsements of Charlie Porter are
the charges made against him by his opponent, one of the
most reactionary candidates ever put forward by the Repub
lican party in this states
What is Charlie Porter charged with?
He hasn't "kept his mouth shut" and been a nonentity
iii the best Ellsworth and. Norblad traditions. He has been
heard (arguing the cases for his home district) instead of sit
ting mouse-like in the House of Representatives and voting as
he's told to vote.
He has "opposed the interests of his district" by getting
harbor and water transportation improvement (this is used
against him in the interior) and by advocating equitable rail
freight rates (this is used against him on the coast).
He has had the colossal gall to question the wisdom of
the Eisenhower-Dulles policies of war involvement in the
Far East, the policy of making believe that 600 million peo
ple don't exist in China, the policy of "sending the Marines"
to rectify diplomatic mistakes and diplomatic laziness in
every corner of the world.
He has cruelly worried the American people by recog
nizing the fears of thousands of scientists that atomic and
hydrogen explosions may twist the characteristics of our un
born children and grandchildren, and by maintaining that
men controlling atomic weapons, being men, do make mis
stakes, do get drunk, do turn traitor, do feel ambition and
hate, and thereby one of them will some day launch a third
world war through accidental or deliberate use of the atomic
weapons now stockpiled.
He has been so rude as to take a stand against petty
dictators who may be allied to this nation, who use the "may
be" alliance to oppress their people, work against our ideals,
murder our citizens, use our money to live in luxury and,
even, send their offspring to wallow in Hollywood flesh.
-
He has gone so far as to "upset administration policy
by telling the people of our Latin neighbor nations that the
American people do care about their welfare, do want their
friendship and help, do want to be good neighbors; and do
not really want to brace up their oppressors, even though that
might appear to be the case judging by administration poli
cies. (And, perhaps, the worst cut of all: Charlie Porter had
the gall to be cheered by joyous crowds in a city whose popu
lation two weeks before had stoned and spat on the vice presi
dent of the United States.)
If you think these things, and many others like them,
are sound reasons to return to the days of ineffectual, reac
tionary, untruthful representation of Oregon's Fourth dis
trict in Washington, then by all means don't vote for Charlie
Porter.
But if you want real representation of our best qualitiee
here in southwestern Oregon, then vote for a real leader of
our thoughts and a real leader, of men: Charles O. Porter.
We think the people of southwestern Oregon want real
leadership and real representation.
Without qualification, The World endorses our present
congressman. Without qualification, The World urges you to
vote on Nov. 4 for Charles O. Porter for U.S. congressman.
Coos Bay Womld
the vast hordes of unemploy
ed people to realize how des
perate is our . situation under
the present administration.
Yet I have talked to many of
these same depressed folks
and they tell me they will go
vote because they like "Dear
Old Ike."
It amazes me.
I can easily .recall three
serious depressions in this
fine country of ours and all
were because of the badly
managed Republican govern
ment.
Truly it's becoming serious
right now and I sincerely
trust no sensible adult will
be foolish enough to cast a
vote to prolong the misery of
the working people.
Especially here in Oregon,
one of the finest states in the
nation of natural resources,
of climate and all the desir
able qualities to make for in
dustries and contented and
busy people, truly a gifted
state, except that it needs
to be managed by more pro
gressive leaders, to provide'
jobs for our fine citizens, to
raise fine children and to pay
for their homes.
Maintaining a home and
job is almost impossible.
We are definitely tired of

GIVE TEACHERS
members run cmiEHsm? rights :
PURPOSE:. 13 X YES will amend Oregon constitution
to permit employees or members of a school board
or employees of the Board of Higher Education to
retain their legislative seats. when resuming their
regular positions. -
WHY NECESSARY: School employees and school
board members may currently serve 'as legislators.
Educators take leaves of absence from their teaching
or other positions, drawing no salary from such position
while absent. BUT, on resuming their regular, full
time positions, they must resign as legislators.
This reduces their effectiveness.
BOTH CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR
FULLY SUPPORT THIS INITIATIVE!
Pd A.dv. Jackson County O.E.A., Viola Pomeroy,
aU expect to maintain happy .
families.
But unless all stop "belly
aching" and get out and vote
for some live progressive men,
the situation will grow worse,
not better. I'd say to all
you good people who have
registered, please, get to the
polls early on Nov. 4 and
cast your vote, for a straight
Democratic ticket. '
Don't be fooled any more
by the "Dear Old Ike" slo-
Yours for a better and more
prosperous Oregon,
