Is Your Purse
The newly convening Legislative Assembly
was treated to a picture of a thriving economy
and of a state government which has been ad
ministered so capably that it has increased or at
least maintained state services, wnne cutting costs
and leaving a budget surplus that forestalls any
need tor a tax increase.
The nainter of this
Mark Hatfield, who, in his annual legislative
message, managed to leave the impression that
all these good things came from him.
One could make a pretty strong argument that
some sectors of the Oregon economy aren t reany
thriving at all. The state's No. 1 and 2 industries,
lumber and agriculture, would do for an example.
But since it is the national economy ana tne iea
eral government that really influence the Oregon
economy, the whole point is moot as a reflection
of what Mr. Hatrield nas
ONE could also argue with considerable force
that the budget surplus which Mr. Hatfield
nroudlv waves is reallv damnintr evidence of his
administration's gross miscalculations in 1959 of
the 1959-61 revenue the
surnlus.
But here again, while
field is claiming credit where it is not due, we
do not hold that he should instead be blamed. It
is too much to expect his
to be able to predict revenue accurately two years
in advance, especially when it must avoid guess-

It is the Question whether Mr. Hatfield's ad
ministration has offered as great or greater serv
ices to the public, at a lower cost, that offers itself
for constructive debate.
"NE of Governor Hatfield's economies has been
to hold down on numbers of personnel. This
is why he has not put fulltime attorneys into such
important agencies as the State Land Board and
the Insurance Department.
Yet for lack of leeal

Governor Hatfield and the other two members of
the board got drawn into negotiating naively to
ward an oil and o-as lease turning 940 sauare
miles of the state's offshore lands over to Shell
for a pittance, thus jeopardizing the taxpayers'
chance at potential millions of dollars in royalties
for schools to relieve property taxes.

THE same penny-wise,

Department to overlook another potential source
of vast revenue in retaliatory fees clue to Oregon,
but unpaid for decades, from out-of-state insur

These are only two

DUT as costly as the Hatfield Administration's
u poor judgment has been, even more costly has
been its concept of "government as an aid to reg
ulated business groups (who are political con
tributors), or at best as a disinterested referee
rather than as an aggressive guardian of the
public interest. .
It was this attitude, along with eagerness to
bring a new industry into the state (and issue a
grand press release about.it) that led the State
Land Board to ignore its primary role as trustee

It was this attitude which led Governor Hat
field's Public Utility Commissioner to hand Pa

his most public-conscious administrator, rails
chief Cliff Ferguson, who had incurred Southern

Comments on Recreation
To the Editor: Congratula
tions, County Court, on final
ly standing up and telling
socialist E. A. where to get
off. He has needed that, and
more, for a long time.
If E. A. were running the
county he would, no doubt,
have a few dozen county em
ployees arm-;d with towelr,
standing around Howard
Prairie Reservoir ready at the
drop of a drip to wipe any
noses needing it.
As Judge Miller points out
he has received no com
plaints regarding the lake ex
cept the customary bugling
from the editorial column.
E. A. doesn't seem to real
ize, or simply refuses to be
lieve, that the great majority
of people still relish freedom
and the right of choice and
chance. If a few people had
a bit of trouble driving up
from the lake, they didn't
damn the county court for not
having a towline and tractor
ready to pull them out, or a
few dozen men with loaded
gravel trucks to build them a
firm road for their cars. These
people were out for a Sunday
drive, fresh air and exercise
and were not crying for dia
per service from the county.
Taxpayers realize that all un
called for services only pyrl-
mid an already burdensome
tax load.
One question persists in
many minds regarding this
recreation controversy that
maybe someone in the county
could answer. What is wrong
with the free enterprise Idea
of running these lakes? What
is wrong with the way Dia
mond Lake, Fish Lake, Four
Mile Lake, Lake of the Woods
and others are run? Give an
enterprising individual a
year lease and let hm go
ahead and build the needed
facilities. There is no expense
to the county involved and In
fact the county gains through
taxation.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
From Washington:
Preparing for his inaugura
tion Friday and wanting to
ayoid possible conflict of in
terest, President - elect Ken
nedy, although not required
by law to do so, recently dis
posed of all his stock holdings
and reinvested the proceeds
in government bonds - fed
eral, state and municipal.
This disclosure was made to
newsmen by Pierre Salinger,
the President-elect s news sec
retary. Salinger added: "The
only holdings he has today
are bonds and real estate. His
direct real estate holdings
consist of his homes in Wash
ington and Hyannis Port,
Massachusetts."
QUESTIONED by the news-men-who
pull no punches
when a good story is in the
wind - Salinger went on to
disclose that President elect
Kennedy's TOTAL holdings
95 per cent of the rest of his
anatomy is showing. This also
reminds me of an experience
less than a week old.
That ever so revealing fac
tual film "One in 20,000" was
scheduled to be shown to a
group in a neighboring city.
This film, a 35 minute action
packed color and sound pre
sentation, shows an actual
lung cancer surgery. Natural
ly the tobacco interests are
not too happy with it. The
truth docs hurt and the facts
and figures presented cannot
be denied. At any rate in two
consecutive free showings in
the same place but to differ
ent groups we found a lot of
ostriches burying their heads
I am thankful that the few
who were "brave" saw and
learned some things they'll
never forget. Yet I am sorry
for those who by their apathy
and disinterest avoided the
truth. In fact some of them
right while the film was being
shown had not only their
"head In the sand" but were
continuing a practice which
the film showed to be the big
gest cause of the increase in
lung cancer.
I would like to take this
means of thanking the pastor
of the Hills, Calif., Commu
nity church and others respon
sible for the good attendance
and interest when this film
was shown there. I had one
lady there tell me, "I'm quit
ting cigarettes tonight." What
a tragedy that so many take
better care of their cars than
their own bodies.

The Looper Case was argued
before the Supreme Court last
year but was scheduled for re
argument, probably to come
Tuesday. The U.S. government
has intervened in the case
with a brief filed by the De

the Georgia courts were
wrong in holding a section of
the Railway Labor Act to be
unconstitutional and, also,
wrong in invalidating the
Southern's union shop con

that the U.S. Supreme Court
reverse the Georgia courts.
Washington Report
By WILLIAM
Washington - One of Wash
ington's most frequent ques
tions - how would the quiet,
leather - thin
and usually
gentle Mike
Mansfield of
Montana fare
as the new
Senate Demo
cratic leader?
- is a question
no longer.
Within two
waita weeKs ot com
ing to the. leadership long held
by Vice-President-elect Lyn
don Johnson, Mansfield has
already been to the wars and
returned in triumph.
The only senator who has
served in all three fighting
services - Army, Navy, Ma
rines - he has now proved
equally combat-worthy in the
cockpit of the Senate.
He has had to meet head-on,
at the very moment of his pro
motion to the leadership,, the
nastiest of all possible Senate
fights, a fight over the fili
buster rule. A new captain
confronting an old source of
trouble within Senate ranks,
he has now in astute patience
led the Senate to the only re
sponsible solution.
THE issue has been referred

where it belongs. That com
mittee will make an unemo

tion of an immensely compli
cated business. In due time
there will be a recommenda
tion back to the Senate for
moderate and reasonable re
forms to preserve the ancient
tradition of free debate but
to erect safeguards against its
abuse.
The senior Republicans,
Dirksen of Illinois, Bridges of
New Hampshire and Salton
stall of Massachusetts among
them, have rightly and coura
geously assisted Mansfield in
the victory he has won. It is
a victory of many sides - for
Mansfield himself; for the
Senate as an institution; for a
basic right of dissent going
infinitely beyond the civil
rights issue which so pre
occupies the ultra-liberals.
The job has been a thank
less one. For men who stand
for calm reason amidst ex
tremisms are rarely saluted

The government said the pro
testing minority citizen-union
members then could try again
if they so desired. If they do
try again, after the present
three years of trying, tha
prayerful minority, the U.S.
government argued, should
present and Georgia courts
should consider specific union
e x p e n ditures to determine
whether they were improper.
Long's Opinion
Judge Long's opinion said
on this point: "I see no way
to determine what part of tha
union dues, initiation fees and
assessments are used for col
lective bargaining and what
part are used for purposes
not germane thereto." Tha
judge stated with emphasis,
however, that a substantial
part of such union funds wera
used for political purposes.
The minority rights of these
complaining union members
are not likely to make a great
impression on the U.S. Su
preme Court. On a similar
question, three U.S. Supreme
Court justices held that if
minority rights were involved
at all, this simply was the
concern of internal union
management. This', despite
the fact that the notable trend
of the modern court has been
to determine such issues in
favor of the minority or of
the individual.
There are, a layman might
think, minorities and minor
ities. S. WHITE
Clark of Pennsylvania and
Republican Senator Javits of
New York, had returned here
demanding restrictions on de
bate so extreme as to end two
centuries of the Senate's dis
tinction as the world's great
est and only truly deliberative
body.
NOT again, under the gag
on debate by a majority-of-one
which the ultra-liberals
were demanding, could
the Senate have been certain
to stand long against the pas
sions of momentarily inflamed
majorities. Not again, for il
lustration, could it have been
depended on to halt an angry
plan to pack the Supreme
Court, as it did under Frank
lin Roosevelt, or to draft strik
ing railroad workers, as it did
under Harry Truman.
And the job has been a
hard one. For Mansfield had
to confront the easy argument
of eager reformers - very
similar in philosophy to that
of the Prohibitionists - that
because some filibusters wera
bad all filibusters should be
abolished.
And he had to confront the
superficial but attractive argu
ment that since a simple ma
jority is "good enough" to
elect a president is is good
enough to halt all Senate de
bate. (Of course that argu
ment forgets that a president
does not make the law, as the
Senate does; that certain
basic rights, including free
speech, are beyond the reach
of any mere majority; and
that the Senate itself cannot
impeach a president or con
firm a treaty except by two
thirds vote.)
t)UT, and this is the main
" point, Mansfield has come
through it all - and come
through it alone.
He never appealed to Vice
President - elect Johnson, his
old chief in the Senate, or to
President-elect Kennedy for
help. He asked them, on the
contrary, to stay strictly out
of the fight.
So to those who said ha
might be "only Lyndon's
man," he has shown that he
is, instead, Mansfield's man.
He has won the right to lead
ership, in his own person and
on his own efforts.
