Taxing There is really no reason why the state should not tax fraternal organizations that own property except that so many voters belong to them. Many such organizations do a work and annually give lars, some to members and this would be curtailed if taxes were levied. The theory of taxation, of course"; is that every one shall pay his share and that benefits be equal for all. Benefits are not always equal and some want exemptions; some get them which encour ages others to want exemptions. Pretty soon the whole theory is disrupted. TVAX commissions must legislatures from creating more exemptions but it seems that they never get rid of all of them. Some groups always come up with, fine sounding arguments for tax exemptions and individuals work at the same thing. equality. There is no reason pay taxes, either, but brands he who suggests guise. Because one does good works is no reason to excuse taxes, otherwise we might conclude that only the selfish and the sinners should pay them.

Version of K The billboard industry spent some $106,000 to defeat a ballot measure controls on those billboards that are erected on Oregon highways. This is considerably more than was spent in behalf of proponents of any other There have been several interpretations of the outcome of voting on the billboard control meas ure. We have yet to see one that is as far from the truth as that ottered Oregon Advertising Club is wiiau uie vjtj awry saiu ; "The advertising industry received a resounding vote of confidence in Oregon on November 8, when the voters defeated a measure which would have - abolished outdoor advertising along Interstate high ways and severely restricted it along most other high ways In Oregon ... ."- . , Overwhelming defeat of the' bill was heralded by Oregon advertising people as an indication that the majority of people recognize the value of advertising in a growing economy, and resist unfair controls of a medium of communication ..." 1XE ARE not sure what TT ure proved, but we prove that the majority the value of billboard equally certain that it was not a resounding vote of confidence" in the billboard advertising industry. The billboard people used halftruths and de liberate untruths in their campaign to resist con trol of billboard advertising. The campaign they conducted was something that all people in ad vertising should be ashamed of. Either people in advertising mean it when they say they are dedicated to telling the buying puDiic the truth in advertising or they are raising a right hand with fingers crossed. If the story the billboard industry told is the advertising indus try's version of the truth let the public beware. Pendleton East Oregonian. South in the Saddle It's almost certain that Southern Oregon will run both houses of the uncomintr lecislative ses sion. For it is apparent that Harry Boivin of Klamath County will head the Senate, and that Bob Duncan, Jackson County, will lead the House lor an unprecedented second term. Geographical representation, however, isn't in danger. Duncan in the last session bent over backward to bo fair and impartial to legislators from other areas and from the opposing Republican Party.

Though frequently more liberal than we'd like, he is a man of ability and integrity. Still, the main thing wrong with the apparent selection of Harry Boivin is that the retiring speaker, Walter Pearson, is behind him.

Seven-day Cycle To the Editor: tn case Mary Atkins and any other readers are convinced that we cannot know for sure about the ident ity of the original and present days of the week, I would like to present a few points of evidence. There has been one change in the calendar since New Testimcnt times, from the Ju lian to the Gregorian calendar under which we live today. The change was made In Italy. Spain and Portugal under an edict of Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 A.D., hence the name Gregorian. (The change con sisted of dropping out ten days from the month of Oc tober, causing Thursday, the fourth to be followed by Fri day, the fifteenth. No change in the weekly sequence of days occurred. As other nations gradually changed to the Gregorian cal endar the same rule of drop ping out days of the month was employed without touch ing the days of the week. Speaking of the variety of plans suggested for the cor rection of the calendar the Catholic Encyclopedia says; 'Every imaginable proposi tion was made; only one Idea was never mentioned, viz., the abandonment of the sev en day week." (Vol. 9, P. 251.) The recent agitation for cal endar revision served the use ful purpose of placing emi nent astronomers on record concerning the antiquity and unbroken sequence of the weekly cycle. The Jews, Christians and Moslems keep different calendars but they all agree on the days of the week. James Robertson, superin tendent of the Naval Observ atory at Washington, D.C., wrote, "We have had occasion to investigate the results of the work of specialists in chronology and we have never Menace Red Gold West Germans In Bonn be lieve the Soviets may be ship ping or transferring signifi cant amounts of gold to the East German treasury in or der to make the East German mark stronger in internation al trading. Some experts ex pect an official announcement around Jan. 1 when Russia of ficially revalues its ruble to put it on a par. with the dol lar. Talky NATO The British expect a lot of talking but few if any deci sions at this week's Paris meeting of the NATO foreign, defense and treasury minis ters. They expect the military discussion to center on an American proposal for giving NATO a nuclear arm, on a re v i e w of NATO military strength and a discussion on necessarily represent the views of the paper; in fact tn found one of them that has ever had the slightest doubt about the continuity of the weekly cycle since long be fore the Christian era." F. W. Dyson, astronomer royal, of Greenwich, London, Eng., wrote "as far as I know there has been no change in the seven day rota of the week, which has come down from very early times. There have been attempts in the French Revolution and in Rus sia to alter this cycle." Personally, I believe it to be providential that we have this knowledge and that can with certainty and confidence follow our Savior's example Un this regard. It was He who said, If any man love Me, he will keep My words." (John 14:23.) Harold J. Relth 113 Briggs Bldg., Shady Cove, Ore. "Joes' " Decision To the Editor: The Repub lican leadership foresees trou ble for our country because they will be out of power. As patriotic Republican Americans they do not want a Democratic administration to succeed. They are hoping to capture the next Congress in order to "save" the country from Democratic "misman agement." They can do no wrong and the Democrats are never right. Luckily for all of us the final decisions will be made by the million:! of plain "Joes" like myself. Republicans should resign themselves to the strong prospect that Ken nedy will be president for the coming eight years. David Frisch P. O. Box 292 White City, Ore. Sunday Legislation To the Editor: Beginning Dec. 7 the Supreme Court of these United States was scheduled to begin considera tion of Sunday legislation. On the surface this would appear to many well meaning indi viduals to be just the thing. This is the first time in 60 years that this, the highest court of the land, has con sented to study the Constitu tionality of Sunday legisla tion. The writer of these lines along with thousands of oth ers feels that here lies a threat to the religious free doms of many American citi zens. One need only to browse back through the pages of history and find for himself what it meant to have the state make and enforce legis lation regarding one s duty to God. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE.

The British expect any real decisions to come at the NATO spring meeting when they will know where Presi dent Kennedy stands. Censorship Italy's current session of parliament may delve thor oughly into the film censor ship controversy which has dealt a hard blow to the mo vie industry. Most of the movie bans are based on censorship law passed during the reign of Dictator Benito Mussolini. There is a central commission of censorship but local prosecutors also demand a say. Best guess as to the outcome: It will take an ap peal to the constitutional courts to straighten things out and that could take years. Actually, are we as think ing, freedom-loving American citizens doing our part to pre serve liberty of conscience? Fervent, effectual prayer should be ascending from the hearts and lips of all liberty loving citizens that this ca lamity may be averted. The far reaching implica tion of the Supreme Court decision upon the work of God, not only here, but all the world, should need no emphasis to those who have been students of Bible proph ecy. This Is hot being written in an endeavor to put the writ er's opinions or convictions into the minds of your read ers. It is being penned to ar- rouse those who are asleep to the impending conflict. It is not time for any of us to bend our efforts toward legislation that would imperil the liberties of fellow citizens God never forces His will on anyone. His love draws men not forces. When men and women really have God's love In their hearts they will act and live in accordance with His will, which is shown in His Divine Law. He says through the Psalms, "I de light to do thy will - yea thy law within m heart." If Christians have God's law in their hearts, they will not do anything that would bring trouble or hurt on their fellowmen. Remember the ex perience of the greatest mis sionary this world has ever known. Saul, later called Paul, was doing what he thought was the Lord's will be perse cuting C ist's followers.

Tf nllss takes the chairman- er administration become sec retary of treasury: The reasons: Defense and treasury will be hot spots in the Kennedy administration. Grotesque misplays and mis takes in those departments could be shrugged off as the work of Republicans. A Re publican in either spot then could be fired, an easy sacri fice to political clamor.

Skelton entered the hospi tal Dec. 3. United States is very impor tant. Liberty means freedom. the right to do as you please the power or opportunity to do something, or being per mitted to do what you want. Liberty gives you the right to think and work as you please. It also gives you the right to speak your opinion on all matters. You can make a choice when you want. Freedom is very important, too. In the United States there is freedom of speech. This means that you can say what you think. You can tell whe ther you like or dislike some thing. We also have freedom of the press in which the re porters can put the news they gather into the newspaper for us to read. Freedom of re ligion means you can wor ship at any church just as you please. Public schools are very important. They are places where you learn and do things. If all the schools in the United States were pri vate, many parents could not afford to send their children to school. When you go to get a job, you can choose the one you want. You can quit your job if you like and get another one. In other countries you might have to get a job and keep it whether you like it or not. One more important thing is the right to vote. You can make any choice you want in voting. Independence goes along with freedom. Having inde pendence does not mean you can go around doing anything you choose. It simply means you are free to do anything within the law. Independence means a man can go as far as he wants in any field. Ev ery man is his own boss. I am proud to be an Ameri can. It gives us the freedom, liberty, and justice we want ed when the Pilgrims first came. We fought our wars bravely and strongly. It was not for the people living then, especially, out lor the peo ple of the future so they will iive in freedom and in peace. Carol Stuart Oxen and Stables To the Editor: I am enclos ing an article from the Los Angeles Times entitled "City Team Selling L. A. Across U.S." Medford is no doubt on the ball with a similar plan. While it is true that the stall is clean where there is no ox, still there is much Increase in the strength of the ox. The city of Costa Mesa encouraged electrical plants, in order to prevent smog. The plan was quite successful and Costa Mesa has probably been one of the fastest growing towns in the U.S. I am buying a lit tle place in Medford, and hope to be there soon. Jim Bolding 188 Merrill Place Costa Mesa, Calif. Cabinet; Discussion man for Ohio. Ohio was the only heavily industrial state carried by Vice President Richard M. Nixon. That put some stars in the Bliss crown. His previous performances, however, had attracted much favorable attention. Bliss may succeed Sen. Thruston B. Morton, (R-Ky.) as Republican national chair man. Morton is anxious to shuck the job. One hitch: Bliss is not a wealthy man. The Republicans probably would have to find $25,000 a year to attract him to Washington. Party men say it could be done. It has been done before, although some chairmen have not been paid. S. WHITE in the unfolding hiatus be tween the end of Republican Dwight Eisenhower s tenure and the beginning, on January 20, of Democrat John Ken nedy's Not in the memory of the oldest inhabitants has an old president shown such practi cal kindness toward a newly chosen president. And not in memory has a president com ing into power shown such proper deference to a presi dent going out of power. As the new year approach es, the old regime is depart ing in dignity and the new is arriving in dignity. So no body loses anything - while the country gains much. THOSE pictures you have seen of a smiling Eisen hower grasping the hand of a smiling Kennedy are, happily, not mere staged shows. The handclasps are for real. And they only begin to illustrate the actual degree of practical association going on at every level between the Eisenhower people and the Kennedy rep resentatives who are helping to arrange the transfer of pow er from the old men to the new. No administration will ever have come to office with a greater advance knowledge of national problems, or a bet ter briefing on national pos ture in the world. Kennedy personally has . been given long fill-ins of the most se cret of all government infor mation, that of the central in telligence agency. His associ ates have been brought into useful consultation with Ei senhower government offi cials. We are showing the world not simply the forms of na tional unity after a presiden tial contest. This time we are showing the substance, as well as the forms, of a reunion of national purpose. TT IS pleasant to be able to - report all this, for a politi cal columnist often finds him self viewing with alarm rath er than pointing with pride, But it is far more than mere ly pleasant; It is also deeply reassuring. For the nation frankly faces problems both urgent and se vere: the drain of bur gold reserves; the creaking strains on the alliance of the free West, among others. Eisenhower came to office eight years ago - our last previous change in party con trol of the White House - in a partisan atmosphere so bit ter that he snubbed the out going president, Harry Tru man. This - and no matter which man was "to blame" - was anything but good for the country. A n d it looked for a time during our recent cam paign that Eisenhower might find it a bit hard to treat with entire seriousness "that young man" who was the Democrat ic candidate for president. BUT "that young man" .- . rw ion a responsible campaign, as, in deed, did his Republican ad versary, Richard Nixon - is now treated at the Eisenhower White House with total seri ousness and total goodwill. Those who have seen the president of late can have no doubt of this: he wants in ev ery way- to help make the transition smooth and effec tive. "That young man" has turned out to be not such a bad fellow, after all. And it is wholly within the bounds of possibilitv that El. senhower. a generation senior to President-elect Kennedy might accept one or more as signments, probably of a con sultative nature, from the new Kennedy administration. The old president has made his record; and now shows no sDe. cial regard for pride of place. Ana tne world's din omats here are seeing with their own eyes that we have reached po litical maturity and are stronger rather than weaker in the afterlight of our nresl. dential campaign. (Copyright, I960 by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) . If Bliss takes the chairman ship there is likely to be a shake - up of the committea which will rattle the rafters and shiver the foundations. Many Republicans consider it high time. A question often heard now around town: When Eisenhow er leaves office will he ba rated a strong president or a weak one? Another question: Does President-elect John F. Ken nedy have what it takes? You get mixed answers to both of these questions. Gen. erally agreed is that the president-elect is: Personable, am bitious, aggressively energetic, articulate, more often well in formed than not. Americans are asking each other, at least in Washington, "does he have it?" On the answer to that seems to depend the fate of all Amer icans, perhaps the fate of tha world. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Let's take our eyes off tha Congo today - long enough, at least, for a look at Algeria, Algeria is also a part of Afri ca. There is bad trouble there. Careful reading of the news makes it clear that the situa tion is so tense that a dramat ic incident could precipitate fighting in which much blood would be spilled. It's a strange situation-per-haps one of the strangest in today's strange and disturbed world. WHAT'S it all about? Tn an offrtef n . that question let's recite a little history. FOR some 15 centuries, Al porta nnnAt- s. xm..ui v a. a u u 3 names) has been a cockpit. That's too long a story to go into here. Let's start with 1830. In that year, a French consul was insulted by the Dey of Algiers. In retaliation, the French invaded the coun try, conquered it and took it over. It was held under French military rule until 1871, when a civil govern ment was set up. Under this arrangement, Algeria became a part of what is called met ropolitan France, with repre sentatives in the French par liament. The system has been simi lar to our territorial system, in which territories eventual ly become states. JJURING this period, French settlers poured into Alee- ria. They took up land. They IMPROVED the land. They took over most of Algeria's business enterprises. While this was going on, they drove the Algerian natives (mostly Moorish tribes) back into tha hills and the deserts. They were developers. They founded a prosperous agricul ture. They built up important business enterprises. They CHANGED THE FACE OF ALGERIA. But The Moorish tribes were not destroyed. They HUNG ON in the high mountains and the deserts. They MULTIPLIED. They now far outnumber the French inhabitants. What these French inhabitants now fear is that if Algeria is set up as a semi-independent re public, as President De Gaulle proposes, the Moorish tribes men will DOMINATE the new republic. That's about the lone and short of the present explosive situation in Algeria. IN AN effort to gain an un- an situation, let's recite a lit tle history of our own. About the time when tha French were pouring into Al geria and taking up the land wnicn had been held by these Moorish tribes (say from the iBius on) our forefathers were pouring into the West and taking over the lands that had been held by the Indian tribes. in our Southern Oreeon-Far Northern California area, our ancestors took the land away from the Klamaths and the Modocs and the Shastas and the Rogues and the Umpquas. Like the French who poured into Algeria, our ancestors were DEVELOPERS. They made this land to blossom - as the French made Northern Algeria to blossom. THERE is this difference: Kor. in ...no, ..... l.'lrn lA call our State of Jefferson, the native tribes didn't multiDly. They DECLINED. Only a rem nant of the remains. But Let's do a little suDDOslnz. Suppose thev hadn't declined. Suppose they had multiplied. Suppose it now began to ap pear that they miaht TAKE BACK the landa we took from them. What would happen then? Rightly or wrongly, we would probably object - as the French inhabitants of Al geria are objecting.
