On Understanding Zoning
During the course of a year, a smoker can
spend anywhere from $50 to $150 for cigarettes,
and not think twice about it.
. But let his taxes increase by $20 or $50 or $70
a year, and listen to the howls.
The difference, of course, is that smoking (all
considerations of lung cancer, etc., aside), is
something immediate and personal, and from
which he gets pleasure.
On the other hand,
but money out-of-pocket, with the benefits re
ceived far off and unknown. '
.
IT IS A problem of long-range understanding.
Our friend, the cigarette smoker and tax
payer, knows that his taxes go for SOMETHING,
and he hopes it s beneficial. But he s still some
what resentful.
It is unusual (although not unheard-of) for
a taxpayer to be fully cognizant that what he is
buying with his money is police protection, fire
protection, schools for his kids, highways, roads,
streets, sewers, and all the rest of the services
which government provides, because no one else
can do it, or do it as well and as economically.
.-
CO as in many other areas of public concern
it is a matter of understanding.
Take zoning, for instance.
A county zoning law has been twice defeated
in Jackson county. Those voters who cast their
ballots against it believed that it gave too much
power to some mistrusted unit of county govern
ment; that it meant a decrease in their own free
dom of action.
Yes, like every other law, from traffic regu
lations to those against murder, zoning laws DO
decrease, freedom just a bit.
But. while decreasing a man's freedom Hike
preventing him from driving recklessly, or from

of the maioritv (bv decreasing the incidence of
traffic accidents and murders).
HTHERE is evidence which leads us to believe
that basic understanding of what zoning ordi
nances are designed to do is increasing in Jackson
county.
For the first time, in
munities of the county, and their responsible offi
cials, are becoming aware that zoning would be
good business for them
residents, citizens and taxpayers.
And, for the first time, thev are doing some
thing about it; something intelligent and con
structive, meriting the praise and commendation
of all thinking citizens.
THERE was a meeting the other night of city
1 and county officials at which planning and
zoning was discussed in
County Judge Earl
movement, made no bones about the fact that
this advisory organization ultimately would lead
to another county election on zoning.
And it was felt that
the advisory committee, and an, adequate pro
gram leading to wider understanding of the ob
jectives, this time Jackson county will approve a
zoning ordinance.
A FRIENDLY rival editor who puts out a paper
"For the first time in local history the farmers
seem to realize that they, too, need some protection
against willy-nilly growth in the county.
"As the situation stands right now, there are cer
" tain promoters in the county sending mailing pieces to
California urging people from there to 'come on up
to Jackson county where there are no zoning ordi
nances.' x . i
"And if you take a drive around the country you ,
will see that a lot of people have already moved in
on that premise. In several, sections of this beautiful
- valley we are seeing the construction of some mighty
fine potential slums .. ."

Well, we happen to know that a substantial
number of people WOULD. And we'd like to
suggest they communicate their thoughts to the
court.

How About Baseball?
To the Editor: We are all
proud, I know, of the fine foot
ball and basketball teams
Medford produced in 1959.
Very seldom does a city attain
the championship in the$e two
sports during the same season
of play. The teams are to be
highly commended.
I cannot, however, under
stand why Medford does not
support the high school base
ball team in the same manner
as they do football and bas
ketball teams. The baseball
team is good and would play
superior ball if fairly sup
ported. .
If I had a boy of high school
age, atnletically inclined, 1
would encourage him to play
baseball in preference to the
two other mentioned sports.
If he became talented enough
for professional competition,
his job would be far more
lucrative than that of a foot
ball or basketball player. Also
his chances of being severely
injured during play would be
a great aeai less.
I believe we should all turn
out and watch the forthcoming
baseball games Medford High
will soon be playing. They,
too, deserve a pat on the back.

All Kinds
To the Editor: Rarely does
a communication prompt me
to take the time to answer.
But M. J. of Ashland, and any
others who might agree,
should be "enlightened." Her
abuse of the south is not jus
tified. Having been born and
raised in Little Rock, but hav
ing traveled extensively, I
know that in the white, yellow
and black races, there are all
types of personalities, and yes,
classes.
There are many educated
persons of aU races and creeds
that deplore the actions ana
words of some of the South,
but who realize that the South
is not the only guilty section
of our country. Think of the
slum areas of Chicago, New
York City, and San Francisco",
that are far overcrowded with
sub-standard living for Negro
and foreign elements. ' V
Soon after America entered
World War II, many thousands
of northern Negro troops came
to Camp Robinson, Little
Rock. As in all groups, no
matter what race, creed or
color, there are always a few
'bad apples.' . Like many art
other teenage girl of that time,
I suddenly found myself in a
most unpleasant situation. It
was to a native Negro Little
Rockian that I owed my res
cue. We should never judge
Negroes by any unpleasant sit
uation, and neither can we
judge all whites by the actions
of a few. "
Throughout America, I
have several friends who are
non-whites. Never would I
consider leading our earlier
years of companionship or our
present . correspondences for
many of the so-called 'friends'
of some of the whites I have
had in the past, or now have.
Mr. Allen's editorials have
certainly been food for
thought,' as have many of the
communications. The Negro
race has progressed lurtner
than the Indian in the last 100
years, but . what about the
white man who. condemns
ether whites without knowing
the full situation or circum
stances? The eyes of the world are
judging America; and," Dear
God, let us have no more inci
dents like Little Rock. For
M. J.'s Information, the entire
clergy and educators, Negro
and white, were aghast at the
Menace
actions of the white man,
Faubus. It is certainly time
for us all to let the subject of
our new Medfordites 'drop.'
Whether our name is Allen,
Brown, Wilson or M. J., each
of us must prove his worth to
a community.

Israel and the Arabs
To the Editor: During his
recent visit to the United
States, Mr. David Ben Gurion
sooke of neace and Arab ani
mosities. Surely, the Arabs are
strongly opposed to Zionism
and Israel, just as the Amer
icans would be if a separate
sovereign Jewish State was
created in America against
the will of the American peo
TJle. If the Americans could ever
accept the creation of a sov
ereign Jewish state in Amer
ica, against their wUl, even if
we assume that the Jews had
lived in America 2,000 years
aeo. and that the United Na
tions had given them a por
tion of America, and that the
Jews could make paradise out
of American deserts, and
could establish the highest
democratic society - If the
Americans could ever accept
such a 'Jewish state, then ana
only then, they should expect
the Arabs to accept the injus
tices inflicted upon them as
the result of the creation of
Israel on Arab land.
America would be opposed
to such a Jewish state because
its creation against the will of
the people of America would
be an encroachment on Amer
ican rights. It is for this very
reason that . the Arabs are op
nosArl tn Zionism and Israel.
Mr. Ben Gurion, having left
his native country, Polana,
and conquered Palestine
against the will of its people,
is ready to talk of peace, even
as Hitler, having occupied Eu
rope, was desirous to maintain
his hold and to establish peace
and amity. Von Clausewitz's
remarks concerning such of
fers for peace by an intruder
and conqueror is to the point:
"The conquerer is always-a
lover of peace. He would like
to enter, our territory unopposed."-
"
r The American people are
noted for their sense of justice
and fair play. Yet the United
States Government has sup
ported injustice by helping
Zionist intrusion -into the
Arab land. President Truman
justified his support of Zion
ism on the - basis that "in
America there areno Arabs
to vote for me:"; '
The Arab side of the Pal
estine tragedy has not been
heard in this country. Should
you be interested in that issue
and in the question of what
the Arabs think of America,

What is "Peace"?
To the Editor: Over the past
few months, there have been
widespread attempts by two
rival heads of state to . pro
mote what they call "peace."
Contrary to public opinion, as
a result of these attempts, we
are not only not any closer to
a true peace, but we are far
ther away from it. With all
of this publicity, touring, and
campaigning for peace, with
its' conferences, big -power
talks, and attempts, why are
we not closer to peace? Maybe
it is because the two parties,
the West (the Free-nations)
and the East (the Communist

controlled countries), do not
understand "peace" in the
same way. '
When the West speaks of
peace it means the absence of
military violence and its
threat in order that all men
may freely attain a state of
life which is consistent with
the end and purpose of man.
1 Peace for the East has two
meanings, both of which are
opposed not only to the ideas
of the West, but to the very
nature of man himself. The
first "peace" would be a state
characterized by the use of
non-violent methods of influ
ence and infiltration, chiefly
by propaganda, in the reli
gious, educational, political,
and economical spheres of
free life.- A second "peace"
would be the state which ex
ists when all of the world is
under the rule and domain of
the one Eastern power. These
are the only two meanings
which the East attributes to
the term "peace." The East
would like to make us believe
we are at peace-the "peace"
of a cold war. But how can
we be at peace if we are at
war?
If this is the kind of peace
that the East is striving for,
how can we ever tolerate or
even hope to attain peace?
How can we hope to accept
any type of peace which is
based on these ideas? Either
type involves both the loss of
our freedom and our dignity
as men.
Our nation was founded, as
is stated in the Constitution,
on a belief in God and His
Law. How then can we expect
to find true peace when we
base our efforts on principles
which are opposed to those
on which our nation was
founded?

Whitman's critical articles of
American society today con
tain much truth. However, ne
is way off in what he claims
should be the role of religion
in life.
Basically he claims that
Christianity makes you feel
pood, so vou should accept it
The men he cites as authori
ties do not believe that Jesus
Christ was God and that He
died on a cross as a substitute
for the sin of any man who
will have Him. They also do
nnt apppDt the Bible as God's
Holy Word, and- certainly
have no time to look for His
return in the clouds. They
are too busy "bringing in the
Kingdom of God" through
their own efforts.
The proof of the Christian
faith is fulfilled, prophecy. If
this is a fool's hope. one
should forget the rest of it,
unless he iust likes to day

not ; prove anything, uoa
claims in the Bible to prove
Himself to athiests, agnostics,
scoffers everyone. This
takes far more than what we
who trust Christ as Savior
accept as the leading of the
Holy; Spirit. This acceptance
assumes that Christ rose from
the dead, and that He will re
turn someday to prove it to
EVERYONE; not just a few
enlightened souls.
Prophecy plus His own
promise before His cruci
fixion (John 14:3) is our. rea
son to expect this. History ap
pears to bear this out.
If this hope is not vain,
that dav is at hand. The
Middle East appears ready to
blow up at any time. Any
rlav between now and that
big war, Christ will return,
if the Bible can be trustea.
If this be true, those who

White public ethics.
The reformers' purpose is
to guarantee men's goodness
by new "codes" or by having
them sign papers announcing
their honesty and decency.
This correspondent has news
for the promoters of this kind
of ethics. It is news based
upon long experience in
watching public affairs. Their
reforms will come to worse
than nothing. The only result
will be to increase hypocrisy.
For the notion that honesty in
government-or in television
or college exams or selling
real estate-can be assured by
new formulas is as silly as it
is well-intentioned.
TF A public man is honest
he is honest. He will be no
more honest if he adopts some
body else's handmade "code"
or even if he consents to wear
on his lapel a large celluloid
button reading: "I am an hon
est man-absolutely." There
are, after all, certain codes
to live by that are far older
and. more authoritative than
Some senator's private crea
tion. One is called the ten
commandments. '
And if a public man is dis
honest , it is simply because
he is a crook at heart. It is
not because he has neglected
his lessons in ethics from re
formist senators or club la
dies. All short cuts to making
young couple, who usually dti

But still the final decision for

About our language, we
had and have . our own
language from the very be
ginning, entirely different
from the Chinese. What I
mentioned at the meeting is,
early in our history (this is
before our own letters were
made) the Chinese letters had
been introducd to our- coun
try. But our people .used these
letters in our own way of pro
nunciation, and these letters
are still used in my country
pretty much.
About 500 years ago our
own letters were ;m3de ,by
one of the famous kings in
our - history, and since - then
bpth. letters, mixed, have
been used. Our own alphabet
has just 24 letters and it's
scientific and therefore very
easy to learn. Gradually
these Chinese characters are
disappearing from our lan
guage. I hope if you don't
mind you'd correct that ar
ticle. Don't forget that we
are very proud of our own
alphabet and language. ,
Thank you very much!

profitable nor fruitful."
It was the second week of

S. WHITE
public men honest are abso
lutely useless.
And they spring from con
fusion. For illustration, Sena
tor William Proxmire of Wis
consin has recommended that
it be made a crime for a
"lobbyist" to give a lawmaker
a cigar or a drink of whiskey.
Examining the thing, what is
its reality? First, if any law
maker is cheaply corrupt that
two ounces of bourbon will
buy his vote, no new "code'
could possibly make a good
man of him. There is one rem
edy and one only: Let the
voters get rid of him.
QECOND, nearly everybody
interested in government
is a lobbyist at one time or
another in the sense that he
wants to see some bill passed
or defeated.; If, therefore, it
be a crime to hand a senator
a cigar, would not a cigarette
be evil, too-or for that matter
even a civil "good morning?"
Such a salutation might well
be designed to influence the
senator's thinking.
Moreover, the reformist
craze invariably gets out of
hand. The new chairman of
the Federal Communications
commis sion, Frederick W.
Ford, already has had to is
sue cautions. "Cleaning up"
anything that really is wrong
with his supervisory agency
over. TV is fine. But to put
upon the commissioners such
restrictions as to shut them
off from all real contact with
the men of the industry would
be absurd.
' For, as Ford has pointed
out to congress, unless a regu
lator can mix with those he
is supposed to regulate he
simply can't have a clue as
to what they are up to at any
given time.
A ND as to international eth
ips. th British ntVinm
sense of humor is usually
more active-have now solemn
ly decided to approach
Khrushchev with a new
"code." They will ask him to
adopt an "agreed pattern for
international behavior."
The complaint is that Mr.
K now and then departs from
the spirit of international good
will by saying bad things
about the West. But would
it mean anything at all if
he actually took some pledge?
If he really wants an East-
West settlement he will guard
his tongue, on the whole. If
he doesn't want one, ten
thousand signed pledges not
to utter upsetting words
wouldn't be worth one
Khrushchev kopeck.
Finally, there is this: Many
years of watching politicians
at close hand have convinced
this columnist that, speaking
generally, the more a public
man shouts about his "ethics"
the more reason there is to
keep a sharp eye on his actual
performance. -

By Invitation
United States troops are ifl
their foreign assignments by
invitation of the nations in
volved, he said, a point which
could not always be made by
the Russians.
Eaton's direct approach to
other problems of the Disarm
ament Conference was in the
surprising spirit which so far
has characterized this new in
ternational attempt to find a
workable disarmament plan.
The Communists them
selves dropped their usual tac
tics of arguing over what
argue about.
They pressed hard for Pre
mier Nikita Krushchev's de
mand for world disarmament
in four years, which the West
regards as unrealistic, but
they also asked questions
about Western proposals.
It was evidence of a new
flexibility which might not
continue but was refreshing
while it lasted.
Seek No Agreement
It was probable that neither
U. S. Chief Delegate Eaton
nor tne others expected to
reach any new agreements in
the weeks before the summit
conference, but rather to seek
out areas where agreement
was possible.
These then could be for
warded to the summit:
The areas where agreement
would not easilv hp reached
quickly were identifiable and
represented no nhsnw from
previous views - the West
pressing for phased disarma

the Communists suspicious of
