Agreement Violated To the Editor: Contrary to an agreement reached last Thursday, Mr. Ray DeMarrs stood on the steps of the Med ford High school last night, handing out "literature" on the Home Rule Charter. Conditions for Joint sponsor ship of the debate between Mr. Deatherage and Mr. Day had been worked out by Mr. DeMarrs and myself. (No speeches by either of us, split expenses; no political intro ductions or solicitations; no handouts.) After Mr. Day and Mr. Deatherage had worked out the format for the evening and agreed upon a moder ator, I prepared a release to the press, radio and TV. Mr. DeMarrs called before it was transcribed and since I do not read shorthand, the secretary read him the release. He agreed to it with no changes but asked that Mr. Deather age clear it. The notice was then read to Mr. Deatherage, who had a suggestion that mention of questions from the floor be added to the release. This was done. The notice was mailed Thursday night. Not until 7:30 Monday night did Mr. DeMarrs tell me he was going to "change the rules" and hand out a mime ographed sheet he had pre pared. I had been available by phone since last Thursday if he had wanted to discuss new conditions for the program. He had time Monday to have Mr. Phillips call me to ask for my check for the split ex penses. BUT, he did not have enough time or the integrity to phone me that he planned to violate our earlier agree ment. Certain members of my committee wanted to give out material when they saw that DeMarrs had broken his pledge. 1 stopped them. We had given our word to the public that there would be no handouts and we would stand by our word. Since I was c-osponsor of the evening, I feel I must apologize to the public for Mr. DeMarrs' action. He is quite free to prepare any literature he wants, but he was not free to hand it out at that meeting. RETAIN OREGON TAX COURT JUDGE ft 1 1 HH to CUrtnc Barton Coquillt Harry D.

Where They Stand To the Editor: I think that In light of the charges made by the Porter group, some light, rather than heat, is needed. All concerned know that Charley Porter has stated that the contenders for the 4th district nomination for Congress did not differ on major issues. Robert B. Duncan took is sue with this, pointing out differences between his stand and Porter's stand on three main issues. Porter favors recognition of Red China, trade with Red China, and admission of Red China to the U. N. Duncan's stand is opposite and he is opposed to recogni tion, trade and admission of Red China. There is nothing unfair about pointing these differ ences out. The voters know, or should know, where the candidates stand. We all await Straub's posi tion on these important points. He hasn't taken a stand as yet. Doris Chinn, 101 Lozier Lane, Medford. Where He Stands To the Editor: And all Sen ior Citizens: Next Friday is election day; the day that we choose party candidates for the general election this fall. Whether you are a Republican or a Demo crat, the discreet and prudent thing to do is to select a can didate that is friendly to the aged. As a democrat my choice is Charles O. Porter be cause I know where he stands. His heart is with the aged. That is the sole reason that he was defeated last election by Doctor Durno. Charley was smeared and spattered out of the election. That is a peril Peter Mflaflfl eft assets. WLM UMUM EXPERIENCED - Ha U not only th in cumbent, Judge Gunner rginizd th Tax Court. In private practice he tpecielized In tax law. VIGOROUS - He hat visited every Oregon County several timet and like the circuit riders of eld will hold Court in all Counties. FAIR-MINDED - He is highly regarded by lawyers and laymen because he is ob jective In hit thinking. fair-minded and form right. "Circuit Judge Arno Denccke, . Portland, and Tax .Court Judge Peter M.

QUALIFIED There are Two Qualified Insurance Agents at LA MEDFORD that every honest man faces, a cross that he must bear. A man of integrity cannot hedge and trim. He must face the facts. To quote Charley Porter: "We light for what we believe in. Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose." There we have Porter the man, also his philosophy. There is not a man in the whole Oregon legislature that I would consider a match for Charley Porter. "By their' fruits ye shall know them." Witness the gen. eral attitude of that body toward the elderly. Its con duct is inept, to say the least. I read an editorial in a con servative newspaper, stating that the American people are economic illiterates. The last Oregon legislature did noth ing to disprove that statement. Charley Porter is a man of intelligence, a learned man, a man that is interested in our national welfare. Charley Por ter is a man of integrity. In tegrity is a word that must be used sparingly when refer ring to politicians, as exper ience will attest. I have never met Charley Porter face to face, but as a social scientist I have studied his career. I know that as a Congressman he is an asset to Oregon. Like Wayne Morse, he was a big man in Washing ton, D. C. Charley Porter is not a "yes man." He has a mind of his own and the principle to back it up. If you want a man of courage, a man of wisdom, a man of solid principle to rep resent you in the national cap ital, you can do no better than to nominate Charles O. Por ter. Walter Reece, 77 Manzanita St., Ashland, Ore. Firm Stand To the Editor: Charlie Porter's position on Red China is no different from that of President Kennedy, high ad ministration officials, and other far-sighted individuals. This was clearly defined in his 1960 campaign when at tacked by Durno and other Republicans on the premise that anyone vrtio subscribed to such views was pro-communist. There is nothing sinister or subversive about admission of Red China to the United Na tions or U.S. recognition of Red China. Charlie has never been an advocate of hasty action in regard to these questions, but, like most of us he believes that Red China's admission to the U.N. followed in due course by recognition, is inevitable soon er or later since a nation of that magnitude won't go away, no matter how we try to ignore it. Why Bob Duncan should attack Porter on issues like these is incomprehensible to me. He campaigned for Char lie in 1960, so presumably his views were similar to Charlie's at that time; since Charlie's position hasn't changed, we can only con clude that Duncan's has. Noth ing wrong with that, but what is he making such a fuss about? It seems to me that Duncan is the one who should clarify his position; not Charlie Porter who already has, time and time again. I'm inclined to aj-ee with Duncan on one point, at least: there is a difference between the candidates. Chailie Por ter takes a firm stand and makes his position ciear. He don't cloud the issue with phoney Issues. Nor - does he attempt to smear oth Demo cratic candidates. He has the courage of his convictions and is a Democrat for Democrats to be proud of. I urge all Democrats to sup port a man they can depend on, Charlie Porter. Wilbur L. Gardner, Jackson County Chairman, Re-elect Porter to Congress Committee, Medford. Medical Society "Alert" To the Editor: As Presi dent of the Oregon State Medical Society I wish to alert the people of Oregon to some very important evjnts which will occur In the near future. I would like them to observe closely and critically the coming maneuvers by the Kennedy Administration to force through Congress the so-called "medical care for the aged" bill. It is my sin cere hope that they will listen 1 to and watch President Ken nedy when he addresses ap- proximately 20,000 hand ! picked "senior citizens" in I Madison Square Garden on this subject. j Since the doctors of this j country have always tried to ! make available the best of i medical care to all of the people, and since we actively support progrsms of govern ment assistance for people I who need help, we want the I citizens of our stata to ask I MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. themselves some questions about the proposal being of fered in - the King-Anderson Bill. First, does a program which pays only one-fourth of the cost of illness for social se curity beneficiaries provide the solution to the problem of "medical care for the aged"? Second, do the American people sincerely desire to have the expense of medical care for the aged fall most heavily on the lowest income group in our population, those with $3,000 or less Income? Third, is it the desire of the American people to use more than two-thirds of this money to pay bills for people who can afford to pay them themselves? Fourth, do you believe that a program which excludes the 3V4 to 4 million needy aged not receiving, nor eligible for Social Security is any kind of answer to the problem of "medical care of the aged"? If you can answer "yes" to these questions as the mas sive powers of the Presidency are directed against those in Congress who oppose this type of program, then write your Congressmen, Senators and the President and say so. If your answer is "no", you have a clear duty as an American citizen to forcefully express your opinion to these same people. Blair J. Henningsgaard, M.D., President Oregon State Medical Society, 2164 NW Park Place Portland 5, Ore. Pawl I To the Editor: I do not like home rule because with per manent appointment of man ager, sheriff, and other of ficials, each person will get information and services from their friends and soon a solid friendship clique will run Jackson county. This is not necessarily dishonest but leads to a bad situation. But any honest man In of fice and in good faith doing his best, he will of course buy, sell, and trade help or get help from those he feels will serve best his plan. Other good men that he does not know personally are out. If these men are not replaced by vote a corrupt stacked deck is in power. Also if county commission ers are not picked by district and are elected by county wide vote. Central Point, Ash land, and Medford can and will pick and elect who they want and run the county the way they want and the rural area and the farmers can go to H . I like some parts of the home rule charter but much of it I do not, it stinks, PEW! Harold E. Bigelow 5095 Crater Lake Hwy. Medford. Keep Stathos Home To the Editor: The voters of Jackson county have a splen did chance to save themselves a possible large increase in future taxes by going to the polls Friday and NOT voting for Don Stathos. He has stated his Intention to work diligently for a state sales tax if he is elected Sen ator. His smooth sounding arguments pertaining to sav ing the taxpayer money by adopting a sales tax do not hold water. The sales tax is just one more excessive tax burden on the already over burdened taxpayer. It is a well known fact that once a sales tax is on the states' books, it opens a pandora's box to further sales taxes in counties and cities. Also, it is a fact, that a sales tax takes a tremendously larger proportion of tax from the low to medium income group than from the higher brackets group. True, it is a subtle tax - it goes out a little at a time but it adds up to from $100 to $300 per family per year depending on income and family size. No, let's keep Don Stathos out of the State Senate! M. J. Olsen Rt. 4, Box 325 Medford. Right to Say No To the Editor: I wish to urge each and every register ed voter In Jackson county to get out this Friday and exer cise his right of choice. Let's keep the right to say "no." We do not need a change in the form of this, the most w o n d e r ful government on earth. We Just need to de velop more CHARACTER in order to operate it.

To the Editor: Ireland tried Home Rule three times and gave it up In 1914. So it isn't so new. I heard a TV speaker say, "The people just tell the com missioners what you want done and they will do it." I laughed right out loud. What people? We have been here in Jack son county 35 years. It didn't take long to notice which people had the front of their property kept neat and clean. Anyone that has driven down Kings highway can't help but notice how clean and neat the gutters and ditches are all along it. Instead of moving the city limits to encircle farms that would rather stay the way they are, more might be en couraged to move outside the city limits. That would im prove the landscaping won derfully. Those that are not in the upper class and can't afford to Just pay the interest on their taxes wouldn't have the privilege of getting anything done by the Home Rule no more than they do now. Our Constitution was fought for long and hard to get Jus tice for rich and poor alike. People have the general idea that the colored people were freed just out of com passion. The truth is that the rich were coming In from other countries and gobbling up thousands of acres of cheap land and making slaves of poor whites as well as colored people. There's one outstanding condition here that would im prove our government won derfully and that would be to make a law that one office holder could not stay In more than two terms at most. A man that stays in for 20 or even 30 years, just gets too big for his britches. I know full well that no one would pay any attention to anything I say, just being common folks that pay their taxes and other bills promptly- Mary E. Atkins 1634 Orchard Home dr. Frying Pan To Fire To the Editor: Sec. 15 of the proposed county charter states: "A board of seven com missioners is hereby estab lished as the principal LEG ISLATIVE and policy mak ing agency of the county." Sec. 27 states: "Responsibility for AD MINISTRATION of the af fairs of the county shall re side in the board of county commissioners and officers and employees who function by authority of the board." The very able men who founded this nation knew first hand the evils ot too much 733- power in too few hands, so they most particularly sepa rated the powers of law mak ing from those of administra tion. But the above sections of the charter would place both in one body. Would you Democrats wish to abolish the state legislature and let Gov. Hatfield both create and administer the laws of Oregon? Would you Republicans wish to abolish the Congress and let President Kennedy both create and administer the laws of the nation? I do not think it wise, mere ly for expediency, to abandon one of the very foundations of our system of government. I hope that the majority of our electorate will not "jump from the frying pan Into the fire" where a majority of the commission, possibly only three, could roast us. See Sec. 21 and 24. Horace W. Thompson 3642 Hilsinger rd. Medford Data Asked To the Editor: The "prom ising" Mr. Stathos continues to make promises without due regard to fact. I would greatly appreciate It If he would pro vide me with the following: 1. Documented proof of any company which has tailed to locate in Oregon because of the state's property taxes. 2. Tell us property owners what the average percentage of tax reduction will be under his proposed sales tax bill and provide an estimate of the average amount each citizen (or family) will pay In sales taxes each year. The latter figure should be easy for him since he al ready knows how much the elusive tourists will pay and It should be less difficult to provide an estimate for the known permanent population. I hope that Mr. Stathos keeps in mind that we will be hav ing much larger grocery bills since taxes will have to be paid on soap, floor wax, de tergents, Kleenex, paper nap kins and everything else which is not edible but pur chased at the grocery store. He fails to mention, too, that such a tax applies to every single garment we purchase. Marina S. Gardiner 3777 Old Military rd. Medford Don't Be Fooledl To the Editor: So many half-truths and deliberate mis interpretations have been voiced by opponents to the proposed Home Rule charter for Jackson county, one won ders how an ordinary citizen can remember the truth about the charter's history and in tent. There have been endless derisive charges against mem bers ot the charter committee, and arguments based on de liberate, or ignorant, misinter pretations of Home Rule.

I, Centril Point m A Retraction Editor's note: A com munication in the Mail Tribune Monday contained a statement alleging the Home Rule Charter pro posal is "commie backed." The Mall Tribune, on its part, herewith retracts that statement (and, in fact, be lieved it obviously absurd)) it alto extends its apologies to those backers of the Home Rule Charter who may feel they have been libeled by such a statement. tax assessments. (He ignored the permanent safeguards ot the newly established Oregon Tax Court, and erroneously reported that the county board of equalization would disappear.) He was again incorrect in stating that there has been no need in recent years for state legislators to pass laws pertaining to county govern ment. (Counties sought 27 such bills in the last legisla ture and only three were act ed upon). Deatherage said county res idents have no say in public health matters. He surely knows that the Jackson Coun ty Public Health association and Public Health department work continually for public health Improvements on a LO CAL level. Opponents to the charter have declared their support in circulated flyers for a sin gle requirement (that a candi date be 21 years of age) as sufficient qualification tor technical officials in a grow ing county with 76,000 popu lation. This opposition group ques tions the motives of a diversi fied committee of citizens ap pointed by their elected state representatives and county court under a state constitu tional amendment passed by Oregon voters two-to-one - a committee which includes a former county judge, state tax commissioner, and state leg islator who has lived In the valley for over BO years; a farmer who has been a resi dent tor over 40 years; and seven other members who have lived In this area for from 5 to 30 years. Let us still decide the is sues concerning our govern ment on the basis of facts. Re fuse to be misled, especially when motives ot a number of opponents are suspect.

Montana Fight To the Editor: I read the Communications first in my Mail Tribune each day. This Home Rule sounds the same to me as the city-county planning board did back in my home town of Great Falls, Mont. The Big Wigs of Chicago moved In on this Montana town and were going to zone the city and area 12 miles all around It. The plan called for some of the most fantastic things, like those people hav ing cows, chickens, etc., out of the city limit; could no longer keep them unless their place was designated so by the planning board. We would have to tear down our barbed wire fences; we could park no more than one car In our driveway at one time at our homes. The director of the board was to get a salary of $25,000 a year, which the city could use. The building inspector was to get a raise in his sal ary to $1,900 per month.

FINES BACKSEAT DRIVER Gravesend, England - (DPI) - Joseph Manwaring's wife got tired of his backseat driving so she stopped the car and left him sitting in it. Manwaring was fined $42 Monday for driving the .car without insur ance. taxes were raised one mill to pay for this extra service. We the people that had property there, had to fight. And fight we did. We formed a group, ap pointed committeemen. (I was one) to go out among the peo ple with petitions. This all happened just be fore election time, So we then went to each candidate and asked him to commit himself and state what side of the fence he was on. Some were on the wrong side, - so we thought. Most of those lost out before they could get back on the right side. We then collected enough money among us to have a law suit and the City-County Board lost and the people of Great Falls are still free. They still have their cows, cars, and barbed wide fences. In my opinion, the Home Rule will, in time, if not now, do and demand the same things of you Jackson county folks. After all, roses ot any other scent are still roses. This Home Rule came from the same pile as the planning board and has the same Oder, only has a different name and a new approach. Some people are like a willow, bend with the slightest breeze. It's go ing to take the strong folks to strengthen the weak ones. C. E. Savage Klamath River, Calif. A 5 GAZER! POLLAN- 2xii OCT.
