I have great faith in
representative form of
competitive tree enterprise economy.
The local tax structure may make for a favor
able or unfavorable climate for business. The
taxable wealth and the educational load are not
necessarily coterminous by school districts, by
counties, nor by states. Therefore, in order to have
fair and equitable competition, there should not
be tax barriers that prevent fair competition.
A federal tax is uniform throughout the Unit
ed States. This is an aid
our free enterprise system of economy. In addi
ti'on, the federal tax system is a balance wheel
to our economy. The cost of collecting federal
taxes is about the lowest 01 any tax revenue

Census
If you haven't already received one at your
house, you'll soon be getting a special piece of
mail, a basic questionnaire from the U. S. Bureau
of the Census.
You should fill it out
the following day the census takers will begin
making their rounds to pick up the data and,
perhaps, leave you another, more involved ques
tionnaire to work on.
More than 400 census workers will fan out
through this congressional district. It will take
them three to" four weeks to make all their calls,
but your house might be one of the first they'll
approach.
ErVERY time the federal census is taken, some
citizens grouse about being forced to reveal
personal information. Remember, before you are
tempted to join the grousers, that all census an
swers are confidential.
In taking the census
Sam isn't attempting to pry into your private life.
The answers he gets will never be available to
the Bureau of Internal Revenue, nor except in
certain justifiable instances, even to your close
relatives.
It is a federal offense for you to refuse to co
operate in the census or to lie willfully to the
enumerators. But fear of prosecution shouldn't
be the basis of your participation. The informa
tion that Uncle, Sam gains from each census is
important for the planning of our nation's future.
CUR military defense, school systems, high-
ways, and a hundred other public matters can
be handled more intelligently in light of census
findings. As a nation, the more we know about
ourselves, the better able we are to cope with
rising problems and the more costly mistakes we
are able to avoid.
So don't cuss. You have nothing to fear from
it, and your personal future is wrapped in its
success. In a democratic nation, no census can
be 100 per cent perfect, but the more nearly that
goal can be approached, the greater the benefit
to the nation and to the citizens whose coopera
tion is the basis of is plans and purpose.- Eu

Voter Registration
To the Editor: Mr. A. C
Lewis has recently charged
in this column that Jackson
County Republicans are lag
ging in the drive for voter
registrations.
Speaking for the Young Re
publican club, I can state that
several of our members are
registrars. Besides serving in
various locations downtown,
such as the public library,
they helped other Republi
cans maintain a special regis
tration booth at the well-
populated Sportsfair, offering
this service 12 hours a day.
Other methods are being
employed to reach the unreg
istered voter in time for the
primary election.. In fact, our
entire membership is working
in some way to further the
registration drive, even
though they are not all offi
cial registrars. Naturally, this
is only one segment of the
county organization, and does
not take into account any of
the projects being carried out
by the Republican County
Committee and the Republi
can Women's Club.
In closing I would like to
make one comment on Mr.
Lewis' letter. Certainly, in
registering 171 residents and
in planning to spend more
time on this work, he should
be commended for helping
these residents to claim their
right to vote. If we do not
exercise this privilege, it may
be gradually lost. On the oth
er nana, in taKing such a
lofty view of the "volunteer
effort of public service" put
forth by the county Demo
crats in registering more vot
ers, Mr. Lewis neglected to
add that this effort was com
pensated at the rate of 10 per
cent per registration, or
$17.10 for the 171 registra
tions cited.

Hero Hounded
To the Editor: After read
ing the Tribune, which ap
peared in the issue of March
24, Friday, concerning our
Number One hero of World
"War I, I would like to add
to the statement of General
Pershing, which cited Sgt. Al-
vin C. York as "the greatest
civilian soldier of the war
by saying, using the rule of
individual accomplishme n t s,
that he was the greatest of
any war the U.S. has ever
been engaged in. ,
It is my belief that, inso
far as the government is able
to donate large funds for the
benefit of nations, and citi
zens of nations against which
such heroes as Sergeant York
did fight, it would not be too
far out of order if the Con
gress would pass a forgive
ness act in the case of the
claim against him for the $85,
442 of taxes from the life
story movie of 1941.
To us, it looks like a life
of torment is all the apprecia
tion shown this super hero
from the hills, who was al
ready past draft age, but en
listed against the scruples of
his religion, and came out of
the mountains to fight for
and protect this nation, which
now hounds him for a tax
share of the amount he re
ceived for the production of
his life story in movies.
Pensions to some of our
retired generals, who would
have made a sorry mess of
trying to accomplish the feats
of Sgt. Alvin York, amount
to more in one year than
the $85,442 taxes they are
after from the greatest indi
vidual hero of our nation.

Menace
Intolerable Burden
To the Editor: In all this
hullabaloo about a Negro
moving into the hitherto lily
white city of Medford, some
thing of vital importance has
been neglected to the point of
absurdity.
The vital thing that has
been neglected and conspicu
ously so by those who are
for him, is Mr. Smith himself.
This person who is moving
here is not "a Negro." That is,
he isn't if by "a Negro" we
mean something that is to be
hated or loved just on prin
ciple. "A Negro" in this sense
is only a fiction, as unreal as
a unicorn.
What is happening is that a
real, live, unique individual
(different in some degree, as
you and I are different in
some degree, from all other
individuals) has moved into
this region. The only things
we know about him to date
are that he is employed at the
weather bureau, that the cen
sus taker will classify him as
a Negro and that he is named
Smith.
Now the absurd part of this
is that the defenders of Mr
Smith's right to move here
seem to imply that he is a
paragon of all the virtues. The
logic seems to be that the
man's right to come here is
dependent on his attainments
I submit to you, my fellow
citizens, that his right to come
here is based solely on the
law of this land and not on
any virtues, attainments or
abilities.
Friends and neighbors, let
us face the cruel truth. Many
of us are unregenerate slobs,
Why should Mr. Smith have
to be any better than the rest
of us? '
Give the man a break. It
is going to be hard enough
for him to deal with the stu
pidities and affronts that will
be inflicted by the unfortu
nates among us.
Let us not lay on Mr. Smith
an additional and possibly in
tolerable burden of standards
of citizenship, ability and just
general goodness that few if
any of the rest of us show.

Nothing New
To the Editor: It's a won
derful world, after aU the dis
coveries large and small. Here
we reside and wonder, on a
spinning terrestial ball, some
where along with tne perpetu
al stars, "what is next?" to
imbue the intellect in us aU?
We read about astronomers
of old, who reported there
was no life on Mars. That is
just simple plain "old stuff"
today, regardless of au the
assumed speculation so far.
Why should an aU-wise Crea
tor form so many worlds and
leave some devoid of crea
tures? In that case it would
be only an accidental chance.
Even the abominable snow
man's existence has been ac
tually recorded ror the past
230,000 years in natural his
tory. The next 40 years will
be filled with ever increasing
pleasure, health and riches, in
the advancement of human
knowledge if used intelli
gently.
The present state of con
sternation will all end in due
process of "being weighed in
the balance" and found want
ing. There is no new thmg un

Gets Rough; Could Aid Republicans
By LYLE C. WILSON
Washington- (CPD -The Kennedy-Humphrey
campaign in
Wisconsin is getting rough,
rough enough
to be useful to
the Republi
cans when the
national cam
paign is on.
Sen. Hubert
H. Humphrey
(D - Minn.) is
spelling out
for the 1960
Vvle C. Wilson rs. e p u outuu
presidential candidate some
campaign arguments which
would be useful if the Demo
crats nominate Sen. John F.
Kennedy (D-Mass.) for presi
dent. Humphrey challenges Ken
nedy's good faith as a friend
of the farmer. Put another
ticle of Wednesday the 23 rd,
raises a question in the minds
of some persons who have
found this service at the
YMCA. Will it cause the
YMCA program to fade? Or
are the two compatible?
The same questions were
asked when the city opened
a fine new swimming pool at
Hawthorne Park. Will an in
door pool get any use? The
fact was that usage doubled
at the Y' pool that same sum
mer, because of attention to
instruction and training which
was essential to enjoyable rec
reations. The YMCA seeks to
use its facilities for training
persons to have enough skill
to enjoy recreational pro
grams wherever they find
them, whether they are run
by public or private groups.
I understand the expense of
the news program is being
borne jointly by the city bud
get and, in use of expensive,
facilities of the new program
is being borne by the school
district budget, and it be
comes free to participants.
This is probably a wise use of
funds, because healthy, happy
mothers and working women
can have a far-reaching effect
on the character and happi
ness of our homes.
The YMCA board believes
that most of the expense of
adult programs would be
borne by the one benefited.
Thus, dues in the YMCA have
been a necessary sharing of
operating expense. Where
childrens' and youth programs
are concerned, subsidy funds
from the United Medford Cru
sade have helped give them a
a full scale club and physical
education program, including
year -around swimming, for
a small annual dues. We be
lieve children can appreciate
more what they get in service
because they, or their fami
lies, make some contribution
toward it.
The YMCA wishes to help
enthuse women, and in fact
aU persons, to put more em
phasis on 'fitness.' Certainly
the comparison of physical
fitness index of our total pop
ulation is nothing to crow
about. This is not a job which
is peculiarly the property of
any group or agency. .
The YMCA will continue to
place as its emphasis the de
velopment of total Christian
personality, of which physical
fitness is a part." It will not
give up its programs for wom
en, but perhaps will emphasize
new developments in the use
of equipment of the nature
found in many health clubs
and salons, and it will con
tinue to ask adults to share in
the expense through member
ship dues.

Experiences
To the Editor: When an
aged Negress, arms full of
bundles, got into an over
crowded bus in San Antonio,
I gave her my seat. She
seemed so old and tired. I
didn't mind the sneers, for I
am a Christian.
I have helped a blind Ne

I ve fed colored tramps.

You see my mistake was, I
should have kept her in the

my living room.

and built a small fire.
We looked up to see a biz

Retaliatory Tax
Discussion Set
Salem -DPD- Oregon Insur
ance Commissioner Dean Mus
ser planned today to meet
with representatives of the
secretary of state and attor
ney general to discuss collec
tion of retaliatory taxes from
out-of-state insurance firms
doing business in the state.
State Rep. Vernon Cook (D-
Troutdale) charged that an
opinion by Attorney General
Robert Y. Thornton backed
up his claim that insurance
commissioners for 13 years
have failed to collect enough
retaliatory taxes.
Cook said the loss may
amount to $1 million a year.
Musser said Cook's charges
were "not a fair statement."
He said that if the retaliatory
law, . as now interpreted, had
been enforced in 1958 the
amount collected would have
been about $119,000 for that
year. ,
"I am not convinced the

Richard M. Nixon is unhap

something is the preparation

S. WHITE
Here is the chief of inter
national Communism openly
and with unexampled impu
dence "receiving" in the heart
of France calls from so-called
Frenchmen who are openly in
the service not of France but
of the Soviet Union. Such a
delegation of fellow-travelers
publicly visits Khrushchev in
quarters provided for him by
the French government in the
Quai D'Orsay - the French
foreign office.
Another truth is not spoken
out loud here by anybody who
wants to win a popularity con
test. It is this: the White
House itself is increasingly
defensive about the obvious
fact that the President is go
ing to the summit with little
real possibility of controlling
its docket of business and
even less hope of accomplish
ing anything much in our in
terest.
rpHIS is essentially what has
-- just been acknowledged to
the Senate by Secretary of
State Christian A. Herter,
whose Bostonian Yankee can
dor is part of his character.
And White House sensiti
vity has been plainly shown
by the belligerent attitude of
the President's press secre
tary, James Hagerty. Hagerty
has used the words "a lot of
nonsense" to try to destroy
the interpretation put upon
Herter's Senate testimony by
Senators who actually heard
him, as Hagerty did not.
These Senators, men like
Albert Gore of Tennessee, are
not blind, stubborn advocates
of "rigidity." On the contrary,
they have supported the prin
ciple of negotiation with the
Soviet Union. But they are
alarmed at how far the ad
ministration has carried "flex
ibility." IN THE SMALL and literal
sense we are, perhaps, not
going "unprepared" to the
summit. That is, three special
state department committees
are at work on this and that.
But 30 such committees could
not alter the basic truth al
ready publicly stated by Her
ter: "One doesn't know what
actually will be discussed. We
have no formal agenda."
The less control there is
over what Khrushchev is al
lowed to bring up the more
opportunity for him to use
the meeting just as he has
used his visit abroad: as a
sounding board for every har
angue, relevant or not, he may
wish to make.
Can't our leaders use it that
way, too? In theory, yes. But
the crucial difference is that
our men have got to talk re
sponsibly. Khrushchev can
talk just as he pleases, heed
less of the long tradition of
reasonable conduct that will
limit the western leaders from
first to last.

whom he has been associated
politically for eight years will
be a good trick if the vice
president can do it.
It will be less difficult for
Nixon to do that against Ken
nedy however, if Humphrey
succeeds in firmly tagging
Kennedy as a one-time col
laborator in the Benson farm
program. Humphrey pulled
the record on Kennedy in the
Wisconsin campaign. The rec
cord showed that Kennedy
had cast some early votes for
flexible price supports and
otherwise was a late comer
to the blood brotherhood of
politicians committed to the
destruction of Benson and of
all his works.
The best answer Nixon
could have to the charge that
he is no friend of the farmer
but a friend of Benson would
be to quote Humphrey's
charge that Kennedy was a
friend of Benson's, too. That
would be the best answer, as
suming that Kennedy were
nominated for President.
Humphrey has further
charged that Kennedy's vot
ing record is so similar to
the vice president's policy,
positions that the senator from
Massachusetts would be "soft
on Nixon" in a presidential
campaign. Wisconsin's Demo
cratic governor Gaylord Nel
