Candidate s Response
A second candidate for the state legislature
from Jackson county has responded to our edi
torial invitation to comment on some of the state's
forthcoming fiscal and educational problems.
Previously the response from Al Bradford,
Democratic candidate for the house of repre
sentatives, was printed in this space. Today we
take pleasure in publishing the answers provided
by Jim Redden, another Democratic candidate
for the house.
Here is Redden's statement:
In answer to the questions posed in your recent
editorial directed to .the candidates for the State Leg
islature; 1 It must first determine what the earnings of
Oregon, through taxation, will be. Next, of course, the
Governor's budget requests must be considered. It is
difficult to know what will be on hand, and as yet
it is not known what will be needed. As is the case on
the federal level, lax reforms arc needed, which in
combination with economic growth will help to solve
the problem. I oppose any new tax without a cor
responding reduction in another, and feel that the
state income tax rale at present is al the point where
an increase should be a last resort. A decrease in the
federal income tax in January should be not be the
signal for an increase in the slate income tax level. If
an increase is clearly needed to solve the problems of
educating our children, Oregonians do not seek to
shirk their responsibility. They do have the right to
demand close scrutiny of expenditures.
2 An increase in basic school support is needed.
The ultimate request will probably exceed the present
prediction. If the local burden can be lessened by an
increase in state participation, the increase will not
be as punishing.
3 We cannot shirk our rcpsnnsibility to the field
of higher education. However, there are no "sacred
cows" in the field of tax spending. Any department
which "... says it needs . . ." many millions of dol
lars must be prepared lo justify the need. If shown,
the people of Oregon will not turn their backs on the
youngsters who wish to continue their education. For
Oregon to survive economically and for the nation
to survive at all, our youth must be adequately trained
to meet the needs of this era.
4 The community college program is needed in
some areas of the state. We are not financially able
and should not be expected lo provide a college for
every community overnight. This program should and
will grow steadily on a strong base. The danger, if any,
In the program is from a too rapid growth with a re
sulting inferior program as a whole.
5 Inequities and loopholes in the present system
can be corrected. Expenditures on all levels can be
examined and probably can be reduced dramatically
In some areas. I believe the $108-million to be spent
on welfare this biennitim is an example of expendi
tures that should be more closely guarded. The num
ber of public welfare recipients has increased 26 per
cent in Oregon in the last 10 years to a total of 52.423
cases in 1001. Aid lo Dependent Children has increased
an alarming 132.8 per cent. We know that much can
he saved In this field and I plan to speak further on
this during the campaign this fall.
We solicit the views of the other candidates
for the legislature on these important questions
of public policy, finance and education. h.A
Roadside Foolishness
The state hichwav
dreds of thousands of dollars each year advertis
ing to attract tourists to our "cool, green vaca
tionland," and urging them to "relax in a state
of excitment.
It spends thousands more landscaping the
new freeways, planting grass and shrubs.
This year it has painted a section of the high
way at each entrance to the state green a gi
gantic "welcome mat."
It spends thousands ol dollars to send crews
along the highway rights of way to pick up bot
tles, paper and other litter, so that clean and at
tractive highways will result.
It puts litter cans along the highway every
so often for the same purpose.
IT DOES all this and TlllSN what docs it do?
Why it sends equipment along the forest and
rural highways to spray the green grass, weeds
and shrubs aiong the wayside, turning them into
border strips of scabrous brown.
The beautiful stretch of forest highway be
tween Prospect and Union Creek often men
tioned in this column is a case in point.
It is one of the most heavily-travelled scenic
highways in Oregon, justly famous for the long
tree-lined corridor, its forest panorama.
But the roadside shrubbery looks like some
thing the cat dragged in, because of the killing
spray.
It is a foolishness. K. A.
Time for Flu Shots
Flu shots are as sure a harbintUT of eold
weather as baseball's sprinj; training is of warm,
lieginninp; in September, according to the U.S.
Public Health Service, people should get their
shots in order to be protected before the coming
of winter weather. Outbreaks of Type A influ
enza (Asian flu) are expected in all parts of the
United State1-- this fall and winter. The disease
tends to strike in lwo-to-three-vear cycles and
there have been few cases reported since March
iii;o.
The Public Health Service is recommending
for the l'ir.-t time that all persons over -13 years
of age be vaccinated. In previous years health
officials limited their recommended coverage to
those over ", the chronically ill, and pregnant
women. Actually, more anil more people outside
these categories now are getting them.
Constant improvement of polyvalent flu vac
cines (those effective against several strains) has
done much to reduce the tenor once associated
with this illness. Use of penicillin, sulfa drugs
and other new antibiotics has helped prevent
serious secondary complications. Hut it will be a
long time before the public forgets the dread as
sociated with the llUS-IiU'.. flu pandemic which
took 10 million to Jl million lives and turned the
world into a va.-t clinic and morgue.- E.K.K.

ARGENTINA ON THE

Buenos Aires - The atti

its severest test here any mo

semi-military government is
visibly disintegrating. An out
right take-over by the mili

there is nothing presently on
the horizon likely to arrest
the trend.
This will almost certainly
confront Washington anew

his letters are still post

Next time she came by, she
was handed a discarded work

IfOLLOWING the routine of
a political writer, on that
afternoon I talked, as usual, to
a good many people on po
litical matters. One was a
powerful and famous senator
who bears an unduly large
burden at the capital. When
I went into his office he said
to me, before pulling out his
hand: "Have they found
them?" lW h a t he really
meant, and could not say. was:
"Have they found the
. bodies?")
lit t lo later, during a con
versation with a cabinet offi
cer, his inter-office telephone
buzzed and after a moment he
spoke into it: "Thank God!"
He turned to me and said, tin-
j pelicvingly:

"They have

I right."

ress economic aid to a regi
ment dominated by the gen
erals and shorn of the last
vestige of its constitutional
framework.
The present government of
President Jose Maria Guide
is in office only at the suf
ference of the military. Be
cause the Argentine generals
have themselves fallen into
apparently hopeless disunity
and rivalry, there is grave
doubt that even the shell of
a civilian cabinet can sur
vive. rpHE plight in which Ihe Ar-
gentine people find them
selves today is largely the leg
acy of Juan Peron, the dic
tator who bought the loyalty
of most of the nation's work
ing people by profligately
spending Argentina's war
time wealth on social serv
ices beyond the government's
ability to maintain. The re-
ceiver-in-bankruptcy was at
the door when Peron was
ousted in 1955.
Peron nor only saddled his
nation with unbearable
debts, but left it so class-ridden
that the beneficiaries of
his rule remain an embitter
ed and nearly disfranchised
social group of large propor
tions. Not one of the demo
cratically oriented political
parties has been able to win
more than the merest hand
ful of the Peronistas who still
number at least 2,500,000.
Recently ousted President
Arturo Frondizi thought he
was popular enough and
strong enough to best the
Peronistas at the polls. When
the voters were counted in
the Congressional and local
elections this spring, the Per
, onista candidates were win
ning nearly everywhere. To
avert what it feared was n
oncoming Peronista dictator
ship, the military forced
Frondizi to quit, cancelled the
election returns, and instal
led Mr. Guido at the head of
a very uncertain and fragile
civilian-front government.
BUT lately the Argentine
generals have been fall
ing out among themselves.
Only the frantic warning of
Economics Minister Alvaro
Alsogaray that the Guido gov
ernment cannot continue
much longer in a "slate of
anarchy" has temporarily
postponed a cabinet crisis.
The value of the peso has
been going down and the size
of the Argentine debt has
been going up. It will be a
miracle if the Guido govern
ment can hold out until next
year's elections in which
neither Peronisi nor Commu
nist candidates will he per
mitted to run for office, hut
Pcronists and Communists
will be allowed to vote for
other candidates.
Only a trusted national
leader above parly would
seem lo have any chance of
welding together this divided
nation and this divided peo
ple. Obviously what is need
ed is a kind of Argentine "Ei

the military and command

FORGETTING ONESELF
Watching the National Clay
Courts lennis tournament re
cently, 1 saw a player come
within one
point of win
n i n g his
match. He lost
the cru c i a I
point, and his
opponent f i
naily came
from far be
hind to win
the match.
llama From where
I sat, it seemed clear to me
that the player who lost had
really beaten himself. His
game was at least as good as
his opponent's: his strokes
were clean, his footwork agile,
his strategy sensible. But it
was his own temperament that
finally broke him.
When he lost a point, he
blamed himself. On a close de
cision, he scowled darkly at
the umpire. When lite breaks
went against him, he forgot
that his opponent had bad
breaks, too. He was an un
attractive personality.
It has been my unwaver
ing obiervation over the
years that 90 per cent of
us beat ourselves. Nobody
else does it to us. We beat
ourselves in various ways
by too much confidence,
or by loo little; by blaming
the other person, or by
blaming ourselves; by too
much pessimism when
things look bad. and by too
much optimism when things
look good.
The one trait In common
that all great and consistent
winners have is an absence
of the "blameworthy" sense.
They do not pout when oth
ers are at fault, and they do
not rage at themselves when
they are at fault.

Why Nature gives an
equable temperament to
some and not lo others it
a mystery we can never
solve. But I am convinced
that it is temperamnt
more than talent or brains,
that determines whether we
are self-fulfilling or self-destroying.
The difference be
tween one champion and
another may be trifling in
terms of pure ability; it
may be vast in terms of
spirit.
We hear a great deal about
Ihe so-called "killer instinct"
in champions; and that the
reason one man failed to reach
the ultimate goal was his lack
of this killer instinct.
All this means, I think, in
that in the ultimate crisis the
real champion forgets himself
entirely, and concentrates
with pasionale ferocity upon
his object. In the familiar Zen
term, "the archer, the arrow
and the target are one." The
"near - champion" never for
gets himself, never subdues
himself to the object, never
truly subordinates himself to
the game.
It is not the instinct to kill,
or even to conquer, but the
instinct for perfection a
perfection so exquisite in it
self that it obliterates the
man who is achieving it. He
is beyond praise, beyond
blame, beyond all our sublu
nary ambitions. He does not
heat himself, for he does not
fight himself; rather, he for
gets himself in an almost holy
manner.
