Since that time, whenever it was, Man has evolved many and varied been useful in their days, all were born of ap parent necessity, and most have gone on to ob soleteness. The history of Man is dotted with their graves, e e e e e FIRST, the family grew noma a lnn Clans came together we had tribes. Usually, then, one over others, and there founded on force.

Circumstances within or outside, or both, made them useless. Many became simple nuisances; some became menaces; all became, in due course, liabilities of their days. Man examined them, found them wanting, discarded them. Admittedly this was not an orderly cerebal processing. Mostly, it was reaction to necessity. But it happened. AND so I wonder at the risk, of course, of "being snidely called a One Worlder if it isn't time calmly, searchingly and skeptically to examine today's Nation-States, all of them. Are they accomplishing what ought to be their purposes? Are they aiding Man 7 Or are they adding to his difficulties? Are they protecting Man? Or are they threatening him? Are they benefactors? Or are they malefactors? Do they, in short, protect Man or injure Man? e e CINCE the beginning of this century the govern- ments of the world's Nation-States have not resolved a single quarrel of consequence. True, they have from time to time, singly or in groups, enforced their wills, but they have settled noth ing. Almost none of the world's people are mad at other peoples. Yet there is not a single government which is not mad at one or more others. And every government is mad enough, at one other government at least, to desire to destroy it. a a a IF SUPPORT of this kind of international an- archy, with its limitless lethal possibility, is the collective desire of Man, then maybe we'd best give the chimps, gorillas and orangutans a chance. So what to do? We can begin by asking: has today's Nation State become a difficult and dangerous anachron ism? Can we longer afford to risk our very lives with a multitude of introverted governments which may have become as outdated as the bel ligerent, predatory dukedoms of yesteryear?

WILSON Communications Letters to the Editor must bear writer, although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial for publication is permissible. The Mall Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. lication must not exceed 400 words. The letters printed in this column do not necossarily represent the views of the paper, in fact the contrary is Salaries To the Editor: I remember the look of surprise on the face of a former member of your staff, when he asked me where I secured the informa tion regarding the city. I told him at that time, "I get it from your newspaper. Again I am securing my In formation from your paper. I have found that if I clip news releases from the city hall, that later releases will prove the untruth of the item formerly released. On May 12, 1960 and again on May 18 readers were told that the city employees salar ies will be increased by $15 $20 per month. I find, accord ing to the budget published. some of the higher paid em ployees are being given in creases of $50 per month. These same employees receiv ed a $25 per month increase last year. Some of our department heads are being paid as high or higher than cities twice the size of Medford. We are also providing two retire ments for them, Salem was not doing this, when I checked two years ago. The cost of living has in creased the same for all em ployees. Our city council has conUnued to give high raises to the high paid men, and low raises to low paid men, until the difference in pay between the man who gives the orders, (which he gets from the city hall) and the man who does the work is clear out of line. This difference, in former years was about $70 per month. It' is now about $300 per month. Were we deliberately mis informed or cannot our $1,000 per month city manager fig ure out that a $600 per year raise is a $50 per month raise and not $15-$20 as we were informed in your releases, May 12 and May 18. We are also staying within the 6 per cent limitation, we are told. We are also told, "No money is allocated from ;he general fund for the sewage treatment division." They are just raising the amount you pay with your water bill. Once this is started and they get away with it, they can use the same method for other de partments and get around the law regarding the 6 per cent limitation. They seem to think the taxpayer is stupid. Cleo Canoose 55 Ross Court Medford Protests Copco Rates To the Editor: Following is copy of a letter which I would appreciate your print ing in your column, Oregon Public Utilities Com missioner Jonel Hill, Salem, Oregon Dear Mr. Hill: The Califor nia Oregon Power Company has asked for another raise in power rates. I am absolutely opposed to any such raise. The rates are already too high, in comparison with the rates of other power companies and utilities. The California Oregon Pow er Company has, for a long period of time, advertised $20 bonuses for used electric wa ter and electric appliances. I should like to k n o w how many thousands of dollars Copco has thus given away - money that came out of the- consumers pocketbooks from rates already too high. Low voltage means we con sumers pay for power we do not get, For years, from time to time, we consumers have had trouble because of too low voltage, causing many motors to burn out. Menace S3T THIS A100N K0CKE1 SMCE BfWE IT the name and address of the Letters submitted for pub often the case. Furthermore Copco is not interested in Just and equit able and honest rates. Copco has claimed to have reduced the d I s c r I m i n atory rate against small businesses. Ac tually, in 1958, Copco did a little juggling act and came up with a 15 cent difference. Question: How many of the 111 businesses cited by the Medford Mail Tribune a cou ple of years ago as having had to close up were the result of the discriminatory rates charged by Copco for power? Many, many people believe. as I do, that we have the most discriminatory rates in the na tion. Copco, a private power company, has sponsored an ex pensive TV program, paid for by us consumers, out of al ready too-high power rates, the chief purpose of which, was to knock public power utilities, and to misconstrue facts and truth about public power. Were it not for public utilities and public power In the northwest, many, many homes here would still have to be satisfied with coal oil lanterns. If Copco would quit wast ing our money on anti-public power programs and propa ganda, and would stop giving away bonus money for old electric water heaters and stoves out of our already ov ercharged power rates, Copco wouldn't have an excuse to ask for another rate Increase!

The public is invited to attend the rate hearing Tues day, July 12, 9:30 a.m. at the court house, courtroom No. 2. Who Draws the Line? To the Editor: It was said of the late Will Rogers "he was unconfused in a world of confusion." In my opinion your refreshing editorials of Thursday, July 7, entitled "Those 'Blue' Laws" and "There are no Majorities" are examples of clear thinking deserving of the same high praise. The motto "Live and let live" not only applies here, but its principles put into uni versal practice would speedily rid the world of its most pressing problems, bringing peace overnight to our trou bled world. Apart from God's Word, what is Truth? And who is sufficiently wise to originate decisions affecting all man kind? Yes, "WHO draws the line?" Dorothy Swan L.B. Star Route, Box 55 Eagle Point, Ore. Reminlscenses To the Editor: As I go back in memory In Oregon 60 years or more, the slogan was 'when you get a Job. trade your bed for a lantern." The slogan was almost true when you worked 12 hours or more. On my first job, as a lad of 8, I rode a horse with a rail fastened to the singletree, bucked straw home from the threshing machine, and 12 long hours and good pay. It was 50 cents a day. I worked six days without a bath. We had no showers or bathtubs then, and if lucky you got a bath In a washlub or creek once a week-lucky boy. May these thoughts help the older folks that stay at home pass the day awny.

J o h n so n's presiden 1 1 a 1 c a ndldacy in advance. They are at tempt I n g to drive even his supporters from the moderate - as well as the conservative -South out of the Democratic convention before the presi dential balloting begins. They are demanding civil rights and allied planks so ir rationally extreme as to make It Impossible for any moder ate - from any section, for that manner - to accept them. Though they are unlikely to accomplish their objective, the possibility docs exist. And Johnson himself knows it. In leaving here for Los Angeles, the Texan unhesitatingly con ceded his chief rival, Sen. John F. Kennedy, to be the front-runner "as of now." Johnson nevertheless showed no great worry over this situation. e e TTIS principal concern, In-ss-stead, was that his south ern and border state sup porters might be taunted into angry reactions by the sus tained provocations of ostensi ble south-baiters who are more exactly Johnson-baiters. The message of highest priority he carried to his back ers in Los Angeles - as, ironi cally, the only Senate leader ever to pass real civil rights legislation in eight decades -was this: "No matter what they do or say to you, don't let them make you lose your heads." A heavy obligation for responsible conduct undoubt edly now rests upon the chair man of the convention plat form committee, Rep. Chester Bowles of Connecticut. For much more than Johnson's future is involved here. In volved also Is the future of Kennedy himself, should he emerge the nominee. KENNEDY'S danger Is that overzealous "friends" might write a civil rights plank so wildly vindictive and unworkable as to lose him the south and the border states as well in the Novem ber election. Any such plank -and again Ironically - would the u n d e r I a k e r'l slogan, "We're In a hurry." Marshall H. Waggoner P. O. Box 753 Ce ntral Point, Ore, IPS lili William S.

Johnson of Texas, and the Democratic left-wingers have the muscle to make their veto stick. 'Hiey need only to stick together to keep the nomi nation from Johnson. The candidacy of Sen. Stu art Symington of Missouri for the Democratic presiden tial nomination has not gotten much beyond trial balloon status, if as fur. What the politicos are telling each oth er in corridors, milk bars and such is that Symington's can didacy never got off the ground. Not In Script If there was doubt about that, the doubt vanished when Harry S. Truman finally made up his mind to sit this one out in Missouri. Who would have thought that HST would quit? Quit cold! That was not in the script at all, Just as it never is In the script for the Indians to lick the U. S. cav alry when it comes galloping up the canyon to rescue Noll. Rigged and fixed for Jack Kennedy Is what Truman calls this convention. Others in awe-struck words ascribe Kennedy's front-runner status here to Inspired, detailed and S. WHITE be wholly alien to Kennedy's record and convictions. Though a genuine liberal on civil rights, he believes in a rational approach to an old and passionate problem. And he maintains, so far, the warmest of political friend ships with the moderate southerners. Bowles, a frank but fair minded Ken ncdy partisan, was appointed to the platform post by Democratic National Chairman Paul Butler. Butler, also a Kennedy backer though lately a quieter one, has been cutting at Johnson tirelessly for years. No one supposes Bowles personally will be less than fair. The question is whether he can restrain others. The Butler - appointed plutform co-chairman, Philip Pcrlman, il an extremist civil rights advocate, as is Butler. Two additional such advocates with great influence before the committee are Paul Zlffrcn and Joseph Rauh Jr. Both have had a widely - known animosity to Johnson. nuTLER, though still na-- tlonal chairman, long since was ousted by his own col leagues as national committee man from his own state of In diana. Zlffrcn was just sim ilarly ousted by his own col leagues in California. Pcrl man never held elective office and for eight years has held no appointive office. He was solicitor general In the Tru man administration. Rauh never held any public office. He speaks for a splinter group called Americans for Demo cratic Action. One of ADA's highest stated aims Is the de feat of Johnson. Elected United States Sen ators from the South who are supposed to be on the pint form committee have publicly complained that the Butler group for the first time In history ha refused even to consult with them. One of theso Senators, Sam Ervln Jr. of North Caroline, Is a dis tinguished former Judge and an honor graduate of a scarce ly pro -southern law school, that of Harvard university. And he represents the most liberal state In the South -and one of the most liberal in all the nation - on race prob lems. (Copyright. I960, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

In the Day's News By FRANK From Havana: Cuba's revolutionary gov ernment, IlOLSTKItKD BY SUPPORT FltOM RED CHI NA AND RUSSIA, heated up Its diplomatic and economic war with the United States with an ungry rejection of U.S. complaints about seizure of Amorican-owned property in Cuba. A ten-page note Issued by the Cuban foreign ministry rejected as "false, hypocriti cal and malevolent" a Wash ington protest against expro priation of the Ksso and Tex aco oil refineries. The Cuban note said: "World opinion mobilizes, Justly indignant, against the shameless economic aggres sion planned, organized and effected by the government of the U.S.A. against Cuba."

PUTTING it as plulnly as , possible, it represents the first serious challenge to the Monroe Doctrine since Maxi milian I of Mexico. Maximil ian was a brother of Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria. He was sent to Mexico by Nopo loen III, the scheming neph ew of Napoleon Bonaparte, who by a fluke had become tho Emperor of France.
