The public takes it for granted that all public records are open to the public and the press. This is not true. And if it were not for the relentless efforts of the press accessibility to some public records would be even more difficult. Some public officials would like to put a padlock on some of their records if they dared. It is a physical impossibility for taxpayers to inspect all public records. But this does not con cern them so long as they know those records are available to the press and that those records which are most important will be communicated to them through the press. . IN THE state of Oregon the right of taxpayers to know is protected in one area by a law which requires the publication of county government proceedings "a concise statement of the pro ceedings of the governing body in the transaction of county business entered of record during the previous month." This law . . . makes it possible for a taxpayer to read in his newspaper how tax money is spent, who got it, and for what. There is a bill before the Oregon Legislature which would repeal this law which requires pub lication of county proceedings. Who is sponsor ing it? The Association of Oregon Counties. TTHE AOC cites as a reason for its repealer that "the cost to the county taxpayers of this pub lication is an unnecessary burden." This is a smoke screen. The cost to you of publication . . . wouldn't buy a cup of coffee. The Association 01 Oregon bounties has to have another reason for wanting to discontinue publication of county proceedings. We don't want to think that the county officials who belong to the organization want to for the public to know what they are doing with the public money. But we can't come to any other conclusion. The argument doesn't hold up. We hope air members will conclude that it is equally important that the public know what the county government' is do ing. renciieton wast uregonian. Sound Suggestion The plan outlined by for establishment of a new area forest comprising the lands of 'the Klamath Termination Act ap pears reasonable and sound. While details ot the proposal are still to come, we have every reason to believe that the suggestion of the Forest Serv ice, will receive favorable reaction when it is presented to Washington Certainly, there was or ODDosition in the area . j . . . and Kiamath J.alJs when Kegional t ouester .J. Herbert Stone so ably .service. As he sain in the meetings, valid ques tions have been raised as to procedures after the Forest Service takes over the lands management, but he saw no question that would pose a dilem ma or impose undue hardship on anyone . . . THE MECHANICS of long-range prospects give every indication, ot Certainly, Klamath 1 area cannot quarrel with the proposition, and we can see little valid reason for any complaint from the Medford or Lakeview areas. For Klamath Falls, it means additional increased revenues from Additionally, it means transact forest business in We are hopeful that there will be speedy ap proval of the Forest Service proposal. Klamath Falls Herald and News. ; Expensive Litterbugs What is the annual cost to the general public each year from activities by hoodlums, vandals, litterbugs, firebugs and others of such classifica tion? It would indeed be interesting to have a lump sum calculation of the financial losses in curred just because some people refuse to be decent members of society. For example, the biennial report recently com piled by the Oregon Highway Commission tells us that destruction of road signs is costing around $50,000 per year. That's .$100,000 for the bien nium. Because some people find pleasure in shooting highway signs full of holes, mangling them in other ways, or defacing them, the life of such signs is from five to eight years, the re port states ... Then, the report relates, the Highway Com mission spent more than bieillliuni on primary and secondary highways cleaning up refuse . . . Xf E HAVE vandals who poach on posted land, wrecking fences, damaging property, killing livestock. Some run over open but privately own ed property, particularly logging tracts, shooting up buildings and equipment, stealing tools, dam aging roads and other installations. Firebugs start forest fires and thereby destroy assets that mean jobs and payrolls. They're thieves, all of them. Thev steal from the public purse. They should be treated as thieves by the general public. Law enforcement officers should be given all possible help in identifying them and bringing them to justice. The court's should see that penalties are ample to provide discouragement. Roseburg News-Review.

Gooey Start To the Editor: Representa tive D u r n o got off to a "gooey" start b.V his vote on enlargement of the Rules committee. He attempts to explain his vote by stating he thought it wrong to enlarge the commit tee. 1 assume he will not at tempt lo deny that such action will make the committee more responsive to the lead ership of the House. I hope he' realizes this action will open the door for full debate and free discussion by all members of the House of Rep resentatives. He then contradicts himself by stating he agrees with free debate and full 1 discussion, while voting against a method to insure it. He joins with Representa tive Norblad in stating that no pressure had been applied by party leaders and lobby ists. - The facts are: 1. Republi can leaders had made it known they intended to work with Representative Smith, lo forestall enlargement of the Rules committee. 2.

I Portland, Ore. 1 Profit, Not Welfare To the Editor: In regard to the polio drive I will go along with Miss Streed. Anything for profit, the welfare of the public is not considered. There is poison in most of our pols and pans we use to day, and most ot our food is not fit for human consump tion. It. is full of poison also, along with the air we breathe and I will quote Dr. William Brady on the betrayal of the public by the federal govern ment in the food and drugs act of 1906, which our con gress comique fixed up exact ly as the big nostrum interests ordered: "The present version of the law is in effect a greater be trayal of public welfare. The food and drugs division- just doesn't see the glaring defi ance of the letler and spirit of the taw and its own speci fic regulations in the naming, labeling and the vicious claims made by the sense dull ing drugs which are so freely sold lo the unwary public un der names shrewdly calculat ed to deceive and mislead. I refer particularly lo coal tar derivatives, a n i 1 i n deriva tives, drugs of the acetanilide, phcnaeetini1, antlpyrin clasa. These drugs, Incorporated In scores of nostrums sold with out even decent restrictions by the government, are de structive to health and fre quently a contributing el even the direct cause of death, yet the federal foods and drugs bureau finds no fault with this big business, being loo busy ferreting out trivial errors or technical vio lations of regulations by small fry firms that have no slush fund to play with and clearly no intention to misrepresent or defraud or harm any one." Dr. Brady says thai and more too. He says the favor ite dope, so commonly dis pensed at the soda fountain is a large factor In the "ner vous weakness" of millions of ! shall select, establish, locate, gullible Americans. As 1 said , construct, improve, maintain, before anything for profit and operate, develop and adminls as for gelling congress to do j ter state highways. This anything, that is about out of ; means thai the Governor the question, when the Presi-; through his appointed Direc- denl himself has a hard time j getting anything done for the masses. Congress is controlled by big business, like it or not. Ray Prichard 414 South First st. Central Point, Ore. Can't Happen Here To the Editor: It can't hap pen here? Don't kid yourself, folks it is happening right here, in Medford, now. One hears constantly that communism or any type of dictatorship cannot happen and will not be tolerated in these free United Stales. Yet we have this infectious, can cerous growth spawning in our midst today. For example:, an auto wrecking yard and parts com pany which has been in busi ness in Medford continuously since 1927 has been given no tice by our so-called city fa thers, that they have a year of life left, that they do not plan on renewing ineir license next year. Just like that we don't like your looks, so scram. -A business that once sup plied a living for more than 17 families has gradually through political harassment been driven down to only 5 employees, with these five subject to be jobless in one year. Yet another wrecking yard within the city was giv en no such death notice yet! Or take the case of another business man forced to move his business because of the new highway is being de nied the right to build on his own properly because the dic tatorial planning commission MAY decide to build a park there some day. Also the trail er hassle even on your own property forget it the city council doesn't like trailers. Our self-righteous Chamber of Commerce claims to be working their head,s to the bone to. bring more business and industry to the valley. Do they claim that it is progress to force more than 17 bread winners to go jobless just be cause some of their members don'l like the looks of an auto wrecking yard? Not all of us can dress in a suit, and sell cars for a living. In fact many of us have been mighty glad there was a used parts company in town especial ly if we were sold a lemon! Many of us fought and many died m World War II lo protect our conslituliona! rights and freedoms against any form of dictatorship whatsoever. R e m e m b e r it could be you next who is de prived of one or more free doms. If you value your citi zenship at all call or write your councilman now and voice your objections to this insidious stealing of your con stitutional rights as an Amer ican. Apathy on your part only encourages more en croachment of your liberties. M. ,1. Olson Route 4, Box 325 Medford Highway Reorganization To the Editor: 1 have been wondering why there has been no comment on one of the main issues in the Governor's reorganization plan. Some reorganization is cer lainly needed for the public good, but the proposal goes too far --unintentionally per haps. The proposed law rele gates the Highway Commis sion to an "advisory" role only - (SB 3-Scc. 15 (2) -and gives their real authority to one man the Director of Transportation and Utilities. The proposed law says "The Department of Transportation and Utilities under the direc tion of the Governor . . . tor has complete control of MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. Foreign News: Acheson for NATO; Japan Trade With China; By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst From the foreign news cables: NATO Secretary General Observers say a possible long shot choice tpr. NATO secretary gen eral to succeed Belgium's r e tiring Paul Henri Spaak is former U. S Sec retary of jState Dean U..USUI.. limy point 'out that the Soviet Union s eco nomic and political oiiensives have gotten up such a head of steam that the United States may throw its weight around lo get an American at the head of the NATO council as well as having an American general in command of its military forces in Europe. They note that Britain's Lord Ismay successfully built up the NATO military machine to face the Russian threat. But the location of all highway construction. The U. S. Bu reau of Public Roads money is spent on highway projects but it does not tell the state where the construction is to be done. Placing in one man's hands the total power as to where approximately $75,000,000 per year is to be spent amounts to the biggest political plum the state has ever seen. Even though we have a well-meaning Governor now, think what could happen if this power was used for political pur poses. Sections of the state would get highway construc tion when political favor was desired. In its 43 years of existence the Highway Department un der the three man commission has never had a breath of scandal attached to it. High ways have been built where they should be under a for mula which assured that all divisions of the state received their fair share of new- con struction. Some areas have been unhappy because they Celt their roads should be im proved faster. The reason they haven't, of course, is that there is not -enough money to make all needed improve ments and some areas sim ply have to wait. I have heard no evidence that the Highway Department is operating dishonestly, im morally or inefficiently. Being retired, I would much prefer to just relax and not mix in .politics, but I cannot let this go by unchallenged. May Heaven -help the public If the legislature allows our Highway Department to be placed in politics. It there is anything wrong with the operations of the Highway Department surely the Legislative Interim Com mittee would have run into il. Their recently published re port, however, was more com mendalory than critical. The Secretary of State's latest audit revealed no irregulari ties. - So lei's leave the Highway Commission and Department out of the reorganization plan as. the-Governor's Commit tee recommended last sum mer. Mervin R. Smith Route 5 Salem, Ore. Donors and Friends To the Editor: Let us praise our Gold Hill community and pay tribute to the people who reside here. Also blood donors in Medford and Ashland. I recently returned to my home in the city of Gold Hill, where I have lived for nearly 35 years, from Portland. I had been a patient at the Veter ans Administration hospital for 2'i months. During -this lime I received many beauti ful cards and letters of in spiration from my fellow workers of Ideal Cement Com pany, and other individuals and organizations in Gold Hill. So many in fact, that I have been unable to answer them. I would like lo dedicate this letter lo the people of Gold Hill for the kindness that has been shown me and my family during my illness. I want to pay specific recog nition to the men and women who gave blood for me while I was a patient at the Veter ans hospital. Each gave one pint of their blood in ny name wher. the Bloodmobile was In Medford during December. This replaced blood thai was used, for me. from the Port land blood bank. These people who realize that blood is more life saving than money were Mrs. Doris Knapp, Medford, Harold Head. Medford. Roy Rodgers. Ashland, and Mrs. Winnifred Mulvey. Medford. Mrs. Knapp and the two men arc "Six Galloners." They Ncwsora they also not that Spaak was unable to gel agreement on such innovations as aid to un der developed countries, in cluding NATO's own Greece, Turkey, Iceland r.nd Portugal. This arid other aspects of the latter-day race against Russia, some pundits claim, may bring an American into the top NATO job, particular ly since Britain doesn't seem interested. Acheson is con sidered a likely choice, espec ially by a Democratic administration. Japan-China Trade Japanese businessmen want to resume trade with Red China. But they first want some sort of guarantees from Peiping before taking the plunge, since they feel the Communist Chinese might break off trade relations at their own convenience, unless they- were bound by some guarantees. Salazar Strengthened All indications are that the Wilson Hopeful Kennedy May Keep Integrity of U.S. Dollar By LYLE C. WILSON Washington - IUPII - Demo crats right up to the present challenge the idea that when a Democrat is in the White House there comes a war. It is a fact, of course, that this sequence of events has prevailed in the 20th cen tury. What that proves is nothing. More Wilson signiticant lor the future would be "another sequence which the Democrats might also resent although they could not well challenge it. This sequence would be: When a Democrat is in the White House, taxes go up and, further, that when a Republi can Is in the White House taxes go down. Perhaps that doesn't prove anything, either, but it is a fact. Tax increases in the Wil son, Roosevelt and Truman admin istralions, obviously, were triggered by war. More than the fact of war is involv ed in these tax-increase, tax decrease sequences. The Dem ocratic party has identified it self with big spending. The Image of the leaders of the Democratic party as free wheeling spenders was mighti ly Impressed on the minds of the citizens by the perform ances of the Roosevelt and Truman administration. The impression was so great as to blur the spending image of the Eisenhower administration. Eisenhower spent record breaking sums of public mon ey, but that fact is scarcely have been donating blood as regular donors since the blood mobile first visited Medford several years ago. Mrs. Knapp, a former resi dent of Gold Hill, said she is proud of the fact that she was a resident of this community for ten years prior to moving to Medford. Before closing I want to say thanks to the service clubs who support the good that was derived by us vet erans while patients at the hospital during the recent holidays. The generosity of so many people is surely appre ciated by this individual. William R. Force P.O. Box 45 Gold Hill, Ore. Want Paul Harvey Tq the Editor: We the un dersigned would be in favor of the Paul Harvey column being added to the Medford Mail Tribune. Mrs. Woodrow McCormack, Box 371, Jacksonville, Ore. (And eight other Jackson ville residents.) City "Dictation" To the Editor: How can a few men dictate to so many people? According to a new city ordinance passed by the city council a number of fam ilies living in Medford have to move. I am referring to tile new trailer ordinance. Some of these families own the property they are parked on so that will be o.uile a loss. These people pay taxes and help support the city as much as the home owners. To my knowledge nothing was published telling them they had lo have a permit lo park on a lot. I wonder how the members of the council would feel if they were told to move their homes out of the city? Ap parently none of them live in trailers. If that is the way the city of Medford operates I pray they will never annex our area. I don't want a few men lo tell me how to manaae mv I property and home. Richard Hart 135 Clover Lane Medford, Ore. Salazar Strengthened hijacking of the' liner Santa Maria by a band of rebels will strengthen the hand of Portu gal's Premier, Antonio de Oliveira- Salazar. Reports from Portugal indicate there wasn't the slightest sputtering of the revolt which .insurgent Capt. Henrique Galvao apparently hoped to touch off by seizing the ship off South America. Any real sympathy on the part of Portugal's man-in-the-street faded out during Galvao's pro longed haggling with Brazilian, authorities before he let his captive passengers ashore in Recife. Khrushchev Delay Communist diplomats are hinting that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev may delay his trip to the reconvened Uni ted Nations General Assembly in New York until , late in March. The idea is to meet both Kennedy and Britain's Premier Harold Macmillan. The Assembly resumes March 7, and Macmillan is to visit Washington April 3. Instead of showing up at the begin realized by the citizens. The Eisenhower administration al so managed to achieve one tax reduction and that fact is pretty well known. Moreover, the big bulge in Eisenhower administration spending was not for national defense, as most citizens assume it lo nave been, National defense was the most costly of government programs under Eisenhower and will remain so under President Kennedy. But the big increase in spending by Eisenhower after 1953 was in non-defense areas. In general, it can be said that it is a com bination of war and the wel fare state that hits the U.S. taxpayer. New Spending Now comes the Kennedy ad ministration with new spend ing plans, the extent of which is not known. These new costs probably are not known as of now even to the president and to members of his administra tion. Their policies have not cooled and jelled from the loose period of campaign Washington Report By WILLIAM KENNEDY'S MODERATION Washington - Pres i d e n t Kennedy has now dropped the other shoe, and in the sound of its falling there is nothing what ever to a 1 a r rn the great moder a t e political center of this country. Quite plain ly, the mod erates' view is to be largely his view - so long as he and they can keep in check the extremists, both the ultra-liberals and the ultra-conservatives. All who had feared we might be entering an unwise ly liberal era resounding with professional theories and marked by wild spending and hot-eyed reformism can now put an end to their anxieties. They can genuinely feel re assured - as already does the moderate and usually con trolling center in congress of both parlies. So, too, do im portant sections of business, both big and little, as may be seen in Wall Street and also in the private remarks here of business spokesmen. TOF Mr. Kennedy's state of the union message to Con gress, in which he laid down his basic purposes, establishes all these things: 1. A deep respect for -and a good deal of savvy about Ihe free enterprise system. (This should not have been too surprising: this young President's private fortune is unashamedly valued by him and he knows what system It came from.) 2. A prudent intention to make hasle slowly - not to try to howl a great deal of legislation through Congress at the double-quick, as was done in the national emergen cy of "the first hundred days" of the New Deal of Franklin D. Roosevelt. 3. A determination to de fend the integrity of the American dollar in the world's money markets at every cost. 4. A resolution - which ironically may turn out to be actually tougher than in the more conservative Eisenhow er administration - to require far greater cost-participation In aid programs by our for eign friends. 5. An intention to reward and back up good administra tors in the federal service to a degree not known in our lime. 6. A firm resolve to ne cotiate at the summit with the Soviet imperialists only ning, it is being suggested that Khrushchev may prefer to wait until the Assembly gets fully under way and the Uni ted States plans for disarma ment become clearer. With Macmillan in the United States at the time, Khrush chev then would have an op portunity lo discuss with the two major Western leaders the issue of a nuclear test ban in person. Talks at a lower level on a test ban are scheduled to resume in Gevena by the end of March. Japanese Salmon Japan's fish catch in the North Pacific is expected to be cut further this year as a result of Soviet demands. Tho Soviets claim that available salmon resources in the area are declining, and they want them conserved. While the Japanese government is ex pected to counter Russia's de mands in Soviet-Japanese fish ery talks expected to begin soon in Tokyo, observers say it may be forced lo- accept the Soviet demand. speeches into the present pe riod of administration respon sibility. Kennedy has promised, however to set out ways to raise new revenue for all new spending proposed to Con gress. The man or woman with money in the bank, an insur ance policy or a pension should thank Kennedy for that. It is a hard road but a road which will lead away from, and not toward, more currency inflation. The rotting of the dollar by the inflationary process is a deadly thing, deadly especial ly for the little fellow, the common man. The big fellow can hedge against inflation in the stock market or by bor rowing a great many 50 cent dollars to be repaid later when the dollar is worth, say, 30 cents. Nice profit there. A determined President and a determined Congress, how ever, can and should protect the common man who cannot protect himself. Congress won't do il but maybe Ken nedy will. S. WHITE when and if some conceivable good can come of it - and only when and if the balance of power, lies clearly on our side and not theirs. TPRUE, some who are not -- necessarily ultra-conserva-lives are nevertheless anxious about some parts of the Ken nedy program, notably an in crease in the minimum wage, permanent aid for areas of chronic unemployment and expansion of public -subsidy housing. These plans, however, will unfold as less far-reaching and less costly than might at first be supposed. Moreover, t h e reasonably conservative in and out of Congress should find great comfort in one largely over looked Kennedy project. This was his pledge to give lax relief to businessmen com ing forward with sound plant expansions. Already, the ul tra - liberals are grumbling that this point is altogether loo "Republican" in tone. In fact, of course, it is simply soundly conservative - neither Democratic nor Republican in origin. TT IS true, too, that some Republican leaders are thrusting at one or another of the President's economic plans. This, too. however, re flects no wide or real Republi can fear. It is only their way of keeping their hand in. So the sum of it as of now is this: Mr. Kennedy has demon strated no slightest purpose to become the hero of the left-wing, to put class against class, or even to become a holly partisan president. He just wants to run a calmly -effective national shop. He is not here lo make America over; he is here to make some repairs, but no revolution. (Copyright, 1961, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
