Family and Nation
If not actually, then symbolically and sin
fully, the theologians
formed Man's nrst social unit.
It was, of course, the family.
Its purpose, under The Plan, was procreation
Its purpose, under Man, was self-preservation.
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,

the same purpose.
Man abandoned, destroyed or reformed them
because they failed him. 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?

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which may have become as outdated as the bel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?

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.

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.

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!

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?"

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. 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

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

in the script at all, Just as it
never is In the script for the

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.

tlonal chairman, long since
was ousted by his own col
leagues as national committee
man from his own state of In

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

that of Harvard university.
And he represents the most

Province, tho rlco bowl of
China, have been ordered to
plant terraced vegetable crops

JENKINS
about It at the time. But . , ,
when that ended . . . leaving
the U.S.A. with a powerful
and seasoned army . . , we
handled that situation with
out gloves. Napoleon III pull
ed In his horns, and eventual
ly Maximilian died before a
Mexican firing squad.
'IM1E STORY of Maximilian
and his widow, the Mad
Empress Carlotta, la a tragic
and fascinating one. It will bt
told In more detail later in
this space. But there isn't
room here. ,
Suffice It to say today that
a century ago the Monro
Doctrine HAD TEETH. I
think most of us believe It
STILL HAS TEETH, and if
necessary they must be used
again, The original purpose
of the Monroe Doctrine was
to see that no Old World des
potisms ever gained a foothold
In tho Western Hemisphere.
Communism, headed up by
Russia and lied China, is an
Old World despotism. Its pur
pose is to destroy free govern
ment. We want none of it In
the Americas.
TPHAT'S why this Cuban
-- business Is serious.
Cuitro is just a tool. If he
were alone, he'd be no prob
lem. Tho Cubans themselves
would dispose of him sooner
or later.
But he Isn't alone. He has
backers. His backers art the
leaders of the world commu
nist movement.
