Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
THEY TELL ABOUT a fountain in a town in Northern
Italy where any wish you make, the legend has it, will
Ultimately be granted.
One day a tourist and
his wife were gazing
raptly at the fountain,
making their wishes,
when the wife suddenly
lost her balance and fell
in with a mighty splash.
"Golly," exclaimed the
husband. "I never rea
lized these things really
work!"
Nancy Mltford, popular
British novelist, now re
sides in Paris, where she
was asked, "Is your new
book at the top of the best
seller list In Britain?" Replied Miss Mltford, "How little you
understand my compatriot! The top British bestseller Is always
the biography of an animal. Elsa, the lioness, has Just been re
placed by an otter and that will retain its priority until some
one writes the sad life of a female weasel."

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Along with its century-old
problems of taxes, the budget,
the state of the common
wealth, adequate laws against
crime and the enforcement
thereof, the 1861 session of
the Oregon legislature faces
another issue.
The issue is this:
Shall we or shall we not
alter the present structure of
our state government, substi
tuting for what we have had
something new and different
and, presumably, more modern.
WHAT are the changes the
19 6 1 Oregon legislature
must consider?
The answer is that the gov
ernor is proposing what he
calls a cabinet form of govern
ment, which would involve a
reshuffle of the state's institu
tions and would place more
responsibility and consider
ably more authority in the
governor's hands.
Among other changes, it
would place in the governor's
hands many of the powers
exercised for the past half
century by the state board of
control.
What shall we do about it?
' Shall we go along with the
governor's proposal? Or shall
we leave the structure of Ore
gon's government substantial
ly as it has been?
AT this point, I'd like to
quote Charley Stanton,
editor of the Roseburg News
Review, one of Oregon's most
i m passioned defenders, an
Oregonian to the core, an
Oregonian who likes to visit
other states (preferably by
automobile, so that he can
see things and talk to people),
who sees the significant things
about other states, who tells
what is good about them and
what is bad about them - but
has his happiest moments
when he crosses back over the
state line . . . back HOME
. . . and especially when he
crosses the divide and drops
down into his own domain,
which is the Basin of the
Umpqua.
There is where he was born.
There he has lived, and there
is where his heart is. Of Ore
gon, and of these proposed
changes in the existing struc
ture of Oregon's government,
he says in a recent issue of the
News-Review:
"RESISTANCE to the reor-
ganization program pro-
posed by Governor Hatfield
seems to be growing through
out the state. People do not
seem to be opposed to the
program simply because they
object to change. But there is
a great fear, judging from
conversations, interviews, let
ters to the editor, editorial
comment and other expres
sions of opinion against any
procedures by which more
politics could sift into our
form of government.
"Oregon has had a form of
government that has been ex
tremely free from graft . . .
One reason we have so little
graft and corruption is be
cause o our existing form of
government. It is true that
much of our state government
isn't responsible to personal
wishes of the governor. We
have a great many commis
sions, agencies, departments
and divisions upon which the
governor has difficulty in put
ting the finger of authority.
"But we have, too, a great
many people participating in
government. We have numer
ous advisory committees,
made up of citizens who con
tribute to government largely
at their own expense. They
look upon citizenship as a
DUTY, and they pay from
their own pockets to be good
citizens.
"Because many citizens
have a finger in government
(in Oregon) there isn't much
possibility of the spoils system
being carried too far, or of
graft existing for any appreci
able period."
V17ELL, there it is. In a nut-
' shell. Oregon is, as Mr.
Stanton says, a rather unusual
state. It has a rather unusual
background. Included in its
background is a long tradition
of good government. Included
also is a long tradition of par
ticipation - at their own ex.
Portland Dealer
Hikes Gas Price
Portland - (OT - John Das
kalos raised the price of gaso
line today, but was still .sell
ing it at 23.9 for regular and
28.9 for premium.
Daskalos sold regular Mon
day and Tuesday at 19.9 cents
per gallon. He issued a per
sonal "declaralion of indepen
dence" and said he would pur
chase gasoline from the open
market after terminating his
agreement with Texaco, Inc.
The operator nf the Rapid
Car Wash in downtown Port
land said his aim in conduct
ing the gas war was to try to
cause major firms to sell gaso
line at the same wholesale
price to one and all in a given
area.
Daskalos said his sales vol
ume was seven times normal
during the two days. He esti
mated it had cost him some
$3,500.
"I have learned my lesson,"
he said. "It is impossible for
me as an individual to affect
the price structure of the pe
troleum industry."
Government To Buy
Lamb Carcasses
Washington-OiPII-The Agri
culture Department has an
nounced plans to buy .frozen
lamb carcasses.
The lamb will be purchased
with surplus removal funds
and donated to nonprofit In.
stitilutions.
pense, often at their own in
convenience and at the cost of
neglecting their own business
- by citizens in the govern
ment affairs of their slate.
These citizens, in their vol
untary participation in public
affairs, have been motivated
by PRIDE in their state and
by their desire to see that its
governmental affairs are nan
rled wisely and well.
I quite agree with Charley
Stanton that it would be un
wise. IN OREGON, to risk the
breaking up of this back
ground of citizen participa
tion in the business of government.

Chatter
New Yoik-iuril-ln the past,
food chains were preferred to
food producers for the more
profitable growth - but today
the situation is reversed, ac
cording to Investors Research
Co.
The advisory service says
food chains will probably stay
relatively close to the pace of
the general economy and thus
the group possesses only aver
age appeal for investors from
a capital gains standpoint.
On the other hand, the capi
tal appreciation probabilities
presented by the "outstanding
technical strength" found in
many food producing com
panies deserve attention well
ahead of food chain securities,
it finds.
Investors research says a
switch of any positions held in
food chain shares directly into
the food producing group is
warranted at this time. Spe
cifically, it recommends Gen
eral Foods, Gerber Products,
H. J. Heinz and Standard
Brands.
Capt. H. C. Duff, assistant
chief of staff for Naval re
serve and training for the
13th Naval district, Seattle,
will head i team of inspecting
officers al the annual "apprai
sal" of Naval Reserve Elec
tronics Division 13-5, Mcd
ford, tomorrow.
Accompanying Captain Duff
will be Cmdr. E. B. Fiorini, of
the Commandant's staff, Seat
tle; LI. Cmdr. 11. E. Guilders,
surface division program offi
cer, and P. D. Columa, person
nelmnn first class, who is serv
ing as group recorder.
An all-day scrutiny of the
Medford unit's training, ad
ministration, and leadership
departments will be held, in
addition to a personnel inspec
tion during the regular eve
ning drill.
The group also will inspect
facilities and personnel at
North Bend, Grants Pass, and
Klamath Falls during their
tour of southern Oregon
units.
Captain Duff is a graduate
of the Naval academy, and
during World War II he was
in anti-submarine warfare in
the north Atlantic. As com
manding officer of the USS
Flaherty, a destroyer, he was
instrumental In sinking the
German submarine U-546 and
in the capture of its command
ing officer and other members ,
of the crew. j
Active in the post-war Naval ,
reserve program, he recently
completed a tour of duty at I
tne newly established Naval
reserve training command at i
Omaha, Neb., as senior mem-:
ber of the Naval reserve in-1
spcction board.

No immediate solution to
Chrysler's major problems -inadequate
finances, a weak
dealership arrangement and a
poor industry outlook - ap
pears in sight, according to
tne Wiesenberger Investment
Report. Bui. it adds, cost cut
ting reduced the auto maker's
break-even point by an esti
mated 20 per cent last year
and the slock "appears a more
interesting speculation than
it has been since 1946."
26th ANNIVERSARY
In observing this 26th year of service to this community, we
wish to repeat below t peldge first made 26 years ago. This
pledge has been repealed in print each year since then. We
regard it as a sacred obligation.
"Always to serve our clients as their
needs require and Iheir wishes dictate.
lo put service before price; quality before
profit. To be guides and counselors to
those we serve, seeking always to act in
their best interests. To be honorable and
fair in all our dealings and never lo
violate what once we have promised."
