A law is a weird and wonderful thing.
Consider, for instance, a bill now before the
Oregon legislature which would require railroad
freight cars to be equipped with reflectors.
It was motivated by a number of crashes,
more than one of which was fatal, which occurred
when a car approached a railroad crossing at
night, failed to see an.unlighted "and unmarked
string of boxcars or flatcars, and slammed into it.
IXT'OULD IT do any good to pass the bill, or
would it be harmful?
The Salem Capital-Journal, the daily news
paper in Oregon's capital city, declares that the
bill is worthy, that it would in effect, become
"national" legislation, for at one time or another
cars of virtually every major railroad come into
Oregon, and that since cars without reflectors
are banned in this state, each railroad would need
to reflectorize its cars.
This, the C-J declares, would be a good thing,
a safety measure, and a cause for rejoicing. .
THE Oregon Statesman of Salem, the morning
paper in the same city, takes a somewhat
dimmer view of the reflector situation.
While granting that the idea behind the bill
is a good one, it fails to go along with the C-J's
theory that it would have nationwide impact, and
opines that, to the contrary, the law would either
be ignored by out-of-state railroads, or that Ore
gon would be "boycotted" by incoming cars.
That's one of the difficult things about law
making. No one knows, for sure, what all the
implications of a new law may be.
. And that's one of the reasons (there are oth
ers) why we have courts of law. E. A.
Too Many Words
On this page some time ago was noted what
was, up to that time, the shortest editorial we'd
ever read. It appeared in the Capital-Journal of
Salem, and under a headline which said some
thing like "Still 100 Wrong" the text of the
editorial, in full, said : "Robert Y. Thornton."
We've found one that's even shorter. It is in
the current issue of "Oregon Education," the pub
lication of the Oregon Education association.
It had a headline
Message on Public Schools."
The text of the editorial was a blank space i
three inches deep.
These two editorials
those editorial writers (present company includ
ed) who often use too many words to try to get
a message across. L.A.
Improper Function
Two years ago the legislature refrained from
passing a bill which would have forced banks in
Oregon to close on Saturday. It was an improper
function of the state's police authority, members
believed, and was an unwarranted invasion of the
freedom-of-choice of business establishments.
This session, the same bill has cropped up
again. It should be killed
SOMETIMES it is necessary for the law to put

Nation Under God
To the Editor: According to
the recent letter to the editor
written by Mr. R. B. Watkins
of Jacksonville, the dominat
ing influence that has molded
the lack of moral substance in
South America and some of
the European countries is the
influence of Catholicism. I
believe the crux of Mr. Wat
kin's letter was his statement
that: "Catholicism and Demo
cracy cannot exist together."
I am certainly happy to get
this clarified for I always
thought the persecutions
against Catholicism by the
Caesars, the Caligulas and
the Neros was designed to
stamp out this seditionist
Christianity which was threat
ening a Godless type of gov
ernment. Mr. Watkms has
shown me otherwise. I can see
now that these persecutions
by such benign emperors andi
rulers was for the sake of pre
serving the Democracy that
existed. I can also see the per
secutions, of Catholicism in
Red China today. Undoubted
ly the Mao government is
doing this to preserve ; their
Democracy which Mr.! Wat-
kins says cannot exist with
the Catholic church. Why,
even in Hungary, Cardinal
Mindzenty was imprisoned
and tortured. Perhaps, there
too, the USSR was fighting
this Catholicism which was
threatening the Democracy of
Joseph Stalin.
It's quite obvious that Mr.
Watkins isn't averse to the
Catholic' church. He even said
so. And it is crystal clear also
that the "unbiased" source of
information Mr. Watkins re
fered to is as unbiased as an
appraisal of the Grand Duke
Alexis would be in the ar
chives of the Kremlin.
We should be thankful for
our democratic form of gov
ernment. Here, no one person
has any degree of power that
cannot be moved by the vote
of the people. This can only
be lost by first losing the
moral vertebra of government
Christianity. Our founding
fathers referred to it as a
"Nation under God". We re
move God and we have a "Na
tion under."

School Consolidation
To the Editor: This is in
tended for the voters of Med
ford on school consolidation,
First we would like very
much to keep our school in
Jacksonville, not only because
we prefer a smaller school
that would give us a better
scholastic record because
there would be less students
per teacher than in Medford,
but we feel that it is and
should be the cultural and en
tertainment center of any
community. We believe there
is less chance of delinquency
among juveniles in a school
that our parents supervise by
serving on the school boards
and being able to have con
trol through their votes of our
activities.
We can see no advantage
Medford would gain by con
solidating with Jacksonville,
Ruch, Griffin Creek and
Applegate, to offset the added
cost of your district for new
buildings, buses, teachers, and
all the other expenses of oper
ating that large a combined
district that will have to
come out of . your pockets in
much larger taxes that there
will be no end to.
So please vote against con
solidation and let us have a
good school of our own. -Lynne

Two Jacksonville
To the Editor: A letter, (en
closed) and brochure has just
reached me from the Jackson
ville (Florida) Area Chamber
of Commerce. The brochure
invites the reader to "Walk
through the pages of History";
the ancient fishing village of
Mayport, and Fort George
Island, and a 'pirate heaven'
called Fernandina Beach.
Photographs show skiing in
the waterways, speed thrills
in the greyhound racing
track, and the famous Gator
Bowl.
Mr. Kelly, of the Jackson
ville Chamber of Commerce,
was familiar with the Jack
sonville promotions problems.
In earlier correspondence, 1
explained that when traveling
to Nevada, Calif orma and
other areas and towns of his
toric interest, I often asked
tourists if they had ever been
to Jacksonville. The imme
diate reply came in form of
a question "Florida?", and
I was forced to a lengthy ex
planation of the fact that Ore,
gon had a Jacksonville most
outstanding.
Mr. Kelly seems to have
had this same trouble, in re
verse, having for his reply
"Oregon?", and of course since
he represents the Chamber
of Commerce in Jacksonville,
Florida, he has felt no small
curiousity concerning our
own historic Jacksonville.
In view of the interest
shown by Mr. Kelly and as
sociates in our own Jackson
ville, I hope their Chamber
of Commerce may be included
on mailing lists for Centen
nial invitations and brochures.

Two Budgets
To the Editor: Governor
Hatfield and some newspa
pers have attacked former
Governor Holmes for present
ing what they have called
"spite" budget-a deliberately
scaled-down budget from
what he would have proposed
had he been re-elected.
Hatfield is trying desper
ately to divert attention from
his own $314 million budget
. But the fact is that Holmes
budget as presented is less
than $2 million lower in areas
where he had control than.
the budget he had planned for
1959-61 m September, 1957
At that time, his finance de
partment director, John Rich
ardson, listed controllable op
erating expenditures (which
excluded basic school support
and the building program) for
1959-61 at an estimated $181.3
million. Holmes' final budget
for this area calls for $179.4
million, only $1.9 million less
than he had counted on 17
months ago.
The real difference be
tween Holmes' present budg
et and the one he had plan
ned is in immediate expendi
tures for the building pro-
eram. He had expected to
ask for about $33 million.
Instead, seeing that the
voters had not only elected
Hatfield on an economy plat
form, but also had turned
down every money measure
on the ballot, he quite natur
ally assumed that the public
didn't want to spend money
now.
Still he didn't scuttle the

building program, as Hatfield
has charged. Instead, Holmes'
simply asked that the build
ings be built immediately,
but be financed through
bonding, to be paid off grad
ually over the years.
From all of this, Holmes
emerges as the man who 1)
told the people truthfully
during the campaign that the
budget couldn't be cut, 2)
said after the election that
if the public didn't want to
spend money immediately,
he'd " cut the cash building
program, and 3) stuck to his
guns that the buildings were
needed, and called for a bond
ing program to build them.
Hatfield shows up as the
man who 1) told the people
untruthfully during the cam
paign that he could reduce
the budget, 2) said after the
election that we had to have
buildings and we had to pay
cash, so he'd have to increase
the budget, and 3) has tried
to dump his whole mess into
Holme's lap.

Schools' Policy
To the Editor: Our atten
tion has been called to a re
cent "Letter to the Editor"
which commented on the lack
of business education classes
in the second semester adult
education program of the
Medford Public Schools. Pre
vious publicity had indicated
announcement of additional
classes to be given later.
These additions include com
mercial courses for those in
terested. Information on fur
ther classes will be announced
later.
Last school year over 1,000
adults took advantage of 75
adult evening classes pro
vided in our adult education
program. These classes are
self - sustaining as to cost, as
the school district only pro
vides facilities and the per
sonnel services involved in
administering the program.
Instructor . salaries and ma
terial costs are cared for
through tuition charges ' and
funds received from the Di
vision of Vocational Educa
tion of the State Department
of Education.
It is Board pf Education
policy to provide classes for
adults in those areas where a
sufficient demand exists and
where a qualified instructor is
available. We welcome sug
gestions as to ways and
means by which we can bet
ter serve our community
through the adult education
program.'

Do Unto Others
To the Editor: Last night
my neighbor and I were stand
ing on our front porch when
we saw a man leading a dog
down Columbus. He led that
dog right up on the lawn of
the house at the end of Bry
ant and waited while the dog
did its dirty work, then went
on. Wasn t that a nice trick?
The other day I got out of
the car at home when some
little neighbors kids said "Our
dog went to the bathroom on
your lawn and if you kill our
dog for doing that our Daddy
is going to come over and kill
some of you." Now these little
kids aren't old enough to go
to school, so you know they
had to hear that at home.
These dogs cause more fric
tion among neighbors than
anything else. If the ones that
don't want a dog wanted to
clean up dog messes, they
would have a dog of their
own. - They say if you don't
want the neighbor's dog, well,
fence.
Well that isn't fair. -If the
dog owners had to fence and
keep their dog in and clean up
the mess or have the lawn not
fit for the kids to play on,
they wouldn't have a dog, but
as long as they can go to the
door and kick them out and
say go to the neighbors and
do your dirty work, they will
have a dog, and if they see the
neighbor chase them off they
are mad.

Today & Tomorrow
By Walter
THE SHIP OF STATE
The decision taken by the
President on Saturday morn
ing, when he refused to
accept Mr.
Dulles's resig
nation, was
most surely
the right one.
For granted
that Mr. Dul
les cannot ex
pect to be the
kind of Secre
tary of State
that he has
been before, accepting the
time to come be under treat
ment and withdrawn from ac
tivity, there is "nevertheless
reason to hope that he can
This is to assure the world
that the ship will continue on
the course in which he himself
in the past give this assurance,
and without it there might
well be confusion, miscalcula
tion, and suspicion abroad and
at home.
There are, of course, o5-
vious disadvantages in a situ
ation where the Secretary of
State is ill and inactive while
the actual conduct of affairs
is the responsibility of his
subordinates. But it is hard to
imagine any good alternative,
given all the circumstances of
his, unique relation with the
President, his record and his
reputation, and the fact that
we are approaching one of the
many climaxes of the cold
war.
ONE THING is, I believe,
quite plain. This is not the
time to think of appointing a
successor drawn from outside
the existing hierarchy of the
Department of State. There
are many reasons fcr saying
this. The positive reason is
that in the President's second
term the Department of State
has improved very greatly
and now is in its top men as
highly qualified, so it seems
to me, as It has been in its
best days.
Herter, Dillon, Henderson,
Murphy, Merchant, Reinhardt
and Cumming, to name only
the key figures, are a strong
team. In them there has been
repaired not only the ravages
of McCarthyism but also the
political bumbles of the . Re
publican Party after 20 years
in the wilderness.
It is no mere accident, nor
is it a sign of the fickleness of
public opinion, that even be
fore his present illness there
had begun a marked change
in world sentiment about Sec
retary Dulles. This change of
public opinion is not due only
to his indomitable personal
behavior. It reflects a change
in the temper and tone of his
diplomacy. It is a response to
the sign of "flexibility" which
Mr. Dulles has judged to be
prudent and desirable both in
the Far East and in Germany.
In 'l.iese changes the rejuven
ated Department of State has
played its necessary part.
.
THIS IS the first reason why
it would be a mistake to
bring in from the outside a
new and" eminent personage.
There is nobody on the out
side who now possesses the
kind of experience needed for
negotiation in the current
phase of our encounter with
the Soviet Union. Whoever he
was, he would be a novice,
and long before he could
hope to master the situation
in his own mind, the climax
we : are now approaching
would have come and gone.
There is now a well-qualified
professional team in
charge of the central issues in
Europe, and what this team
needs is the confidence and
we took care of it and didn't
let it bother the neighbors.
If these dog owners would
do unto others as they would
like others to do unto them,
neighbors would get along
better.

France, de
of the French Fifth Republic.
DeGaulle, backed by new
powers which placed him in
a position similar to that of
the president of the United
States and by an overwhelm
ing majority in the French
Assembly, announced three
main 'objectives. They were:
To restore France to its
place among the great na
tions. To place the nation on a
pay-as-you-go basis, removing
her from the list of Europe's
sick nations.
To end the uprising in Al
geria. Meets Opposition
Before he could attain his
first objective, it was neces
sary for him to be successful
in the other two.
At home, his austerity cam
paign already is meeting
widespread opposition.
In industrial Lille last
week several thousand heavy
industry workers went on
strike to protest the lay-off
Lippmann
the advice of the President
and of the Congress. There is
no one available from the out
side who can do this better
than, or indeed half so well
as, the President himself-es-
pecially if Mr. Dulles is able
from his sickbed to watch
over the general line of policy
for which he has set the direc
tion. If this were a new adminis
tration at the beginning of its
term, and if there were no
climax ahead in Germany, the
President might look around
for a Secretary of State who
in the old tradition of the
unite was a political power
in the land. He might think,
let us say, of Gov. Dewey. But
not today when knowledge
and . experience are so neces
sary, and when there is so
good a team already in the
field.
TN ALL of this, it. Is neces-
sary to remember that Mr.
Dulles's extremely personal
way of conducting his office
has been unique, and it can
not be duplicated even if it
were desirable to attempt it.
It will be necessary, there
fore, to put more trust in the
Ambassadors we sent abroad,
or to send abroad Ambassa
dors that we can trust. It may
be desirable to have one or
two roving Am bassadors
where the problems at issue
cover a whole region rather
than a single country. It will
be desirable to talk things out
more at length than is now
being done with the foreign
Ambassadors in Washington.
In the special case of the
Soviet Union, exceptional pro
cedures are probably neces
sary. For with rare excep
tions, with only one exception
that I know of, the Soviet Un
ion will not rely on the nor
mal diplomatic channels. For
that . reason Mr. Mikoyan's
visit to this country was al
most, certainly necessary in
order to convince the Krem
lin that it knew the situation
here. For that reason Mr
Macmillan's excursion to Mos
cow is a good idea, and we
might well turn over in our
minds a visit to Moscow by
Mr. Nixon, or perhaps by one
of the distinguished outsiders
who are being talked about
for Secretary of State.

of more than 800 workers in

but it could establish a pat
tern for others.
The cause is two-fold: First
the de Gaulle austerity cam
paign which virtually decreed
a halt to pay increases while
at the same time increasing
taxes; and, France's entry
into the European common
market which lowered French
tariffs and forced French
manufacturers to convert to
more efficient methods in
order to compete in the com
mon market.
The result has been wide
spread layoffs in such key
industries as textiles, auto-'
motive and electrical home
appliances.
It has given the Commu
nists their first real campaign
issue against de Gaulle.
Algeria Still Restless
Opposition to de Gaulle
policies also has neared the
violent stage in Algeria, not
from the political left but
from the extreme right. It is
made up of French settlers,
who, outnumbered almost 10
to one by the Moslems, see
total integration with France
as their only salvation.
De Gaulle has refused to
meet their demands, insisting
that while Algeria must re
main French, its political tie
with France will be deter
mined after peace is restored.
The result was that when
French Premier Michel Debre
visited Algeria last week, he
was met with cries of "down
with de Gaulle."
Those are only two of de
Gaulle's pressing problems.
In addition, of course, he is
