Jims Being "Used"
Jim Welch is being "used."
He wrote an editorial a couple of months ago
for the Capital Journal in Salem, of which he
is now managing editor, in which he said :
"We favor banning billboards from all rural high
ways in Oregon. We'll sign petitions to ban them all
al once, or from interstate freeways alone a a first
tep."
So far, so good. Jim's on the right track up
to this point, and is in tune with a lot of forward
looking citizens who want to ban the billboard
monstrosity from the public highways with
certain exceptions.
BUT he went on to say that he thought the pe
tition (now in circulation) to do just this was
"a lousy bill."
He couldn't understand it, he complained. He
said it needed clarification, and all the high
ways and byways which it would effect should
be "spelled out
And that's where he stubbed his toe.
He should have known that legislation (and
that's just what this is a new law, plus an
amendment to an old one) isn't necessarily de
signed for easy readership, but for legal pre
cision. So, when he grumbles that the petition gives
the impression that the anti-billboard people are
makine "a sly attempt to put something over on
Oregonians," he gave
potent weapon.
A XD with what delight they pounced on it!
"Petition of Deceit" is what they're calling it
now, based on Jim's complaint about "the ap
pearance of deceit" which resulted from his own
misapprehension of the purposes of bill-drafting.
Jim's being used.
And if he means what he says about being
against billboards, we suggest he do something
about it
, We have read the proposed bill in its entirety,
as well as the information sent along with it by
the Oregon Highway Protection Committee.
There's no deceit there; but there is an honest
effort to get some meaningful billboard control
legislation on Oregon's law books.
CPEAKING of deceit, the billboard interests are
to palm off the story that this billboard-control
effort is being sponsored by "the garden club
ladies" the snooty implication being that they
are a buncn 01 "do-gooders meddling wun
things that aren't their business.
If we belonged to a

Since we don't, we'd

and then go on to point
ladies are far from aJone in this attempt.
What the billboard
tell you is that the sponsor of the billboard-
control netition is the Hitrhwav Protection Com
mittee, which is composed of a number of organizations.
GARDEN clubs? Yes the Oregon Federation
-of Garden Clubs belongs: so does the Oregon
Federation of Women s clubs, the Oregon Road
side Council, and. the Oregon Society of Land
scape Architects.
So, for that matter, do
the American Association
American Institute of Architects and the Izaak
Walton League of America, the Oregon Associa
tion of Nurserymen, the Oregon State Grange,
and the Oregon State Motor Association.
Individual officers of the Highway Protec
tion Committee include such well-known "garden
club ladies" as former State Sen. Rudie ilhelm
Jr. of Portland, chairman; State Sen. Alfred H.
Corbett, State Grangemaster Elmer McClure,
State Treasurer Howard C. Belton, J. W. For
rester Jr., Pendleton, an editor and member of
the state board of higher education; E. B. Mac
Naughton of Portland, banker, industrialist and
former college president; Mayor John Snider of
Medford; Charles A. Sprague, Salem, editor and
former governor; and a lot of other solid citizens.
THESE are people who, along with the "garden
club ladies" so sneeringly mentioned by the
billboard interests, know that tourists don't come
to Oregon to look at billboards.
They have enough of those where they come
from.
They come to Oregon

And billboards don t do a thing to enhance any of
these.
The proposed legislation provides for ad
equate informational signs at appropriate inter
vals to give our guests guidance. The rest of the
time (outside of cities and industrial areas) it
will let them look at the scenery pure, not in
a bottle nor through a forest of billboards.
"NE more thing.
The billboard industry is entirely responsible
for this legislation being proposed. It is tougher
man the rather moderate measure defeated in
the last legislature with the enthusiastic assistance
of the billboard lobby.
And it is motivated by the billboard industry's
lack of scruples, lack of self-policing, lack of
judgment, and, if you will, "deceit" in claiming
they'd clean up the highways themselves, and
then going along blithely building more of them
in violation of their own pledges.

l St.
Senator Proxmire
Answers Columnist
On Public
To the Editor: In Bill
White' provocative column
relating to legislating public
ethics in your paper recently,
he decries my recent proposal
for a "we-mean-business eth
ics law."
White, a perceptive and
competent newspaper man
with great experience, derides
my suggestion that, a he
writes, we "make it a crime
for a lobbyist to give a law
maker a cigar or a drink of
whiskey."
I suggest that Mr. White
overlooks these facts:
1) This proposal is firmly
based on a Wisconsin statute
that has been on the books
for more than two years. Wis
consin newspapermen, lobby
ists and public officials agree
that it works very well. It
works without cramping the
understanding or performance
of legislators or public offic
ials. There is none of the win
ing, dining and vicarious en
tertaining by lobbyists of leg
islators or public officials in
Wisconsin. At the same time,
they are not, at White avers,
cut off from the industry
which they regulate or for
which they legislate. They are
not cloistered. They associate
freely and regularly. They
Just pick up their own checks.
Before this law was passed
in 1957, there wa more than
$50,000 per six-month legisla
tive year reported to the Wis
consin Secretary of State for
liquor and food paid for by
lobbyists for the benefit of
legislators.
The disclosure statute that
preceded the present law fol
lowed a situation in Wiscon
sin many, many years ago
when as Lincoln Steffens re
ported, state legislatures
were considered the "bawdy
houses' of government in
America, and Wisconsin was
typical.
A little Inquiry around the
country would have further
convinced Mr. White that gen
erally most competent observ
ers agree that too many state
government are till bawdy
houses.
2) Two former Wisconsin
public officials-John Dorrfer,
the formei Chairman of the
FCC, and James Durfee. the
'em off.
Uneasy Position
African Situation
Africa's intensely Nationalist
Afrikander who are deter
mined to enforce their white
supremacy law down to the
last Negro, and jubilation
elsewhere in Africa where
Negro nations already have or
are moving wiftly toward in
dependence.
For the Union of South Al-
nca s grim determination to
maintain its apartheid policies
places Britain squarely in the
middle.
Must Maintain Closeness
It is both a desire and a ne
cessity for Britain to maintain
close ties with its former Af
rican territories now achiev
ing their own identities as free
nations.
The task becomes the more
difficult so long as Britain ap
pears to ignore or support the
policies of South Africa.
At the same time, both ac
cording to the rule of the
Commonwealth and the Unit
ed Nations, Britain is bound
to the policy of non-interference
in the internal affairs of
other states.
Britain Abstains
This was the dilemma that
Britain faced last week as the
United Nations Security Coun
cil debated and finally ap
proved a resolution which de
plored "the policies and ac
tions" of the South African
government and called upon
Secretary General Dag Ham.
Morals
present Chairman of the CAB
-Doth have accepted hospital
ity from persons subject to
their regulation since they
came to Washington.
Both previously served as
Chairman of the Wisconsin
Public Service Commission.
Both discharged this responsi
bility in Wisconsin under Wi-
consin law without engaging
in any of the hospitality
which has been criticized in
Washington. These were the
same men. Only the law had
been changed.
3) Bill While argument
that you can't legislate hon
esty conveniently overlooks
the obvious fact that most of
the criminal statutes of this
country and the 50 states are
based on legislation against
specific acts of dishonesty that
cause injury to the public in
terest. Only the most naive
and starry-eyed devotees of
perfection in human nature
would join White in the argu
ment that legislation outlaw
ing acts of bribery and fraud
can be repealed without suf
fering an increase in bribery
and fraud. In my book the
purchase of legislative advan
tage by buying things of value
for the legislator is bribery.
4) Let White answer how
lobbyists can charge their cli
ent hard cash for the enter
tainment of public official
and how the lobbyists' clients
can deduct the cost of this
entertainment from their in
come tax as a necessary busi
ness expenditure. Does White
think that this hard cash is
not being apent because the
corporation and their lobby
ist have a cold-eyed and well
justified understanding that
the expenditure will get re
sults? If they don't think they
are spending their money for
this purpose they are defraud
ing their stockholders and the
U. S. Treasury.
No. Mr White, there isn't
any Santa Claus.
White concludes with the
Intimidating charge to "keep
a sharp eye" on the politician
who tries to do anything about
ethics -such a politician is
probably an unethical scoun

Why No Pool?
To the Editor: I'U join Joyce
Anderson in the 64 dollar
question-along with other un-heard-from
Central Point res
idents, in wondering "wha
hoppen?" - to the swimming
pool project. There' always
talk, nice inexpensive talk.
It certainly can't be lack of
space, this we have; lack of
water-hardly. There are two
wells that can supply a more
than adequate amount of wa
ter for a pool, and already
piped to the present city park.
Is it as rumor says - that it's
because the pool is wanted
through the school system to
use for P.E.? Or is it because
the city believes that the resi
dent wouldn't help to build
this great dream?
I don t believe that we
should be insulted so, it' a
shame that a growing commu
nity such as ours must depend
on another city so completely
for such a simple and relative
ly inexpensive pleasure. I
find it difficult to believe that
there are not enough men and
women in Central Point who
care enough to give time and
money to such a good cause,
but I suppose until someone
comes along with enough
backbone and community
spirit, or some organization
comes along that cares
enough, we'll go on being a
step-child to Medford and help
them pay for their pools.
The children ot Central
Point will Just have to keep
on having their noses to the
window, longing for the cool

Will Steel
To the Editor Thanks so
much for the mention of Will
Steel In connection with our
National Parks, those we have
and the ones we hope to have
while there is yet time to
have such provisions made.
Will Steel was a lonely man
as dedicated men usually are.
This may be the reason why
he has ever been so general
ly unknown, as mentioned by
the Oregon Journal's blind
editor Irvine. It was the 20th
of October, 1934, he called me
In from the street as he stood
at entrance of the old Journal
building. How he came to
know it was me ha ever been
a mystery. In his usual rlght-to-the-point
way, he asked
me to be seated at his type
writer as he said. "Will Steel
is dying in a Medford hos
pital. It is not at all fair that
a man who dedicated his life
to such a grand project as
Crater Lake Park should go

short." It' both unpopular
and dangerous. But it's also
necessary.

of the lights stay hidden under

Steel very well, the hard task
he had set himself to and the
privations he endured. Cer.

something for a worthy tri
bute to him.
"It has been brought to me

him than anyone we know.
So, will you please write
something for the Jour

ease our conscience, even
though Will Steel will not

him."
It was not much of a write
up for old friend Will, less
than half a column. My heart
was too heavy to do more, a
fear of bitterness that might
creep In if more were writ
ten of the great work he did
accomplish, with such small
reward. True, he was made
commissioner of Crater Na
tional Park; that gave him
adequate shelter and susten
ence. There is the Sinnott
Memorial on Victor rock, but
no mention is made of Will
Steel. Not even the humble
tribute to him by a Medford
artist and myself, given to the
park commision, is on display
there. The name of Will Steel
is not included in the talks
given to the thousands of vi
itors there.

make it to wonderful? The
people that live here.
Last week our little boy Ed

people came, with flowers,
food, love and most of all
comfort and prayers. In com

have often thought, "Oh I

those I do have I am not very

that we have many friends,

sus here among political ob

tricts, at least one of which
was agricultural. He did just
that. His farm district wa
the centrally located seventh.
Wins Farm District
Humphrey made a big is
sue of farm relief and Ken
nedy' uncertain record on it.
The young man from Massa
chusetts needed to win at
least one farm district here
to show that Midwestern
farmers were not bitterly op
posed to him. Humphrey took
the other farm areas. Ken
nedy's strength came largely
from the cities and the towns
and the areas in central and
eastern Wisconsin which have
large Roman Catholic popula
tions. There were Indications that
Catholics rallied strongly to
Kennedy's support. Calumet
