Smith sonian Institution. 4 A - SEPTEMBER 7. 19S2 Change and A. Robert Smith, Washington correspondent and author of the Senate," is a thoughtful observer not only of poll tics, but of American society. In a speech the other day in Pendleton, he listed three changes which are having an impact on American society, and They are the rapidly expanding population, the shift from a rural to an urban society, and the growing centralization of government in Washington. I IKE these or not, they " live with them, Smith The average congressman today represents nearly a half million people ; the average senator several million. Smith says : "In an entire lifetime of public service, these men could not possibly meet and become acquainted with more than a tiny fraction of their constituents. And so we have a widening gap between the people and their elected representatives. This fosters a sense of remote ness, a willingness to shrug our shoulders and let some one else do it." The shift from farm the east than on the Pacific coast, but the trend is evident here, too, and will become more marked as time goes on. AS TO THE centralization of government, Smith said it seems the relevant concern is whether or not the federal government is going to continue to be responsive to a majority of citizens, tie adds: "I believe the government must play an active role and not leave us individually at the mercy of big busi ness, big labor and big agriculture. Today I believe the government Is too often the Instrument of one or the other of these strong economic forces, depending upon which party is in power." As a result of these three changes, and fourth major one which he described as the grow ing militancy of Negroes in seekinp; equality, our ejected representatives with organizations and witn individuals: "Sometimes these groups are quite benign and self less; but on other occasions they exert crushing pres sure upon you. They know that a government decision for or against them can be decisive and they expect you to line up on their side." THESE groups have two major weapons, Smith says the weapon of bloc voting, and the wea pon of granting or withholding campaign ex pense contributions. "These, I believe, are the realities forced upon every public man by the changes of population growth, the remoteness of his constituents, and the power vested in Washington. The risk of alienating voters always confronts an elected official, and it always should If tliey are lo remain responsive to local wishes. But the money factor is dangerous and we should hasten to remove it. "We should lift the onerous burden of forcing every honest, well-intentioned public man from going, hat in hand, before election time to the powerful economic groups who constantly solicit his support. Instead, he should be made absolutely independent of them . . ." He believes that if members of Congress are going to have the opportunity they deserve to render courageous and independent judgements they must be freed of this "financial bondage," even if it means creating a federal fund to meet campaign expenses. w CM ITU also issued a challenge to all Americans to be aware of our mutual concerns, and to participate in the solution of our mutual problems. He said: "The old frontiers of the mountains and the plains . . . were conquered by courageous and visionary men and women of all walks of life who wanted a better tomorrow. The new frontiers of urban congestion demand the same broaciscalo assault from all our people. "I believe that all of us need to concern ourselves " with the widening gup between the people and those who govern; " with the dangers of our present system of forc ing politicians to solicit large sums from cither labor or business to conduct their campaigns; " with the urgent need for members of Congress to he independent and to have the intelligence and the will to keep the bureaucracy on iis Iocs and responsive to our needs . . . "We have a tendency, as a people, to blame our national problems on either foreign enemies or domes tic politicians. We have nlwuys been ready to redress wrongs by going lo war or throwing the rascals out. We need, still, to be vigilant and to uproot rascality. But wo must also be vigilant to deal with the rascal that sometimes lurks within each of us. We are em barked upon an era of difficult human relations. It will demand that the best in each of us conquer the worst that lies within each of us. "We have built a great nation with an astonishingly high standard of material living. Wc have advanced well along the road of enlightenment and rationality through education. But we must not stop here. We must, I believe, pass on toward greater spiritual ma turity as individuals. For that Is God's destiny for us. And in the last eternal analysis, we will be judged not by the standard of living we achieve but by the quality and sprrit of our life as a people, man to man, neighbor lo neighbor, white to black. "... The public you and I share the high responsibility of securing a free society. "So let us face our future together, sharing the burdens and the opportunities of leadership, knowing that but for the grace of God we might run out of time in which to work out our destiny. "And let us have faith that we have done a good thing, and that we can do still better." Only by following Americans be able to change. E. A. More Man, we are told, is the only animal that blushes.

End The Checkerboard To the Editor: In your edi torial of Sept. 4 I was pleased and surprised at the sugges tion by former Governor Sprague that the holdings of the Bureau of Land Manage ment and the Intermingling private holdings each be con solidated. Ever since a similar consolidation project was ac complished between B. L. M. and the Forest Service in this area I have thought such an other consolidation should be made. The B.L.M. owns odd num bered sections inside of a 30 mile limit from the original O.&C. railroad line, except ing what lands had been taken up prior to the R.R. grant around 1887, I believe, and some few homesteads which were allowed to World War I Veterans about 40 years ago. So their holdings are mostly a checkerboard pattern, with some other owner on the four sides, and the other own er has B.L.M. on his four sides. Most of our valuable timber lands are owned by B.L.M., the Forest Service and lumber companies. The Forest Service lands are pretty well consoli dated now, especially most all of Range 4 East in Jackson counljs and much in Klamath county. So B.L.M. and the private companies could get together and exchange certain lands with each other for lands and timber of equal value and quality, in such a manner as to provide for efficient man agement and harvesting plans. The consolidations could be made in such sizes as best suited the various areas in volved. Such a consolidation would result in a reduced cost in timber management and har vest and permit better long range and over-all planning for botlt B.L.M. and lumber companies. It would eliminate considerable of the expense ot surveying out the various ownerships, often found in a single section of land. I hope some group with the authority to act will take hold of this project and do some thing about it. It should be of benefit to our county, stale, and all of us. Ernest W. Smith, Butte Falls, Ore. Machine Politics To the Editor: State Sena tor Vernon Cook has recently labeled as "vicious" a propos al which will appear on the November ballot, because that proposal attempts to preserve some small representation for the more sparsely populated regions of the state. The mea sure will fall far short of pro viding the protection given by the U. S. Constitution to the sparsely populated states. It would appear now to be in order for the Senator to come out with a blast at our Federal Constitution as being "vicious and undemocratic." In the Roman Empire dur ing that period defined by his torians as "The Decline and Fall." there was simple ma jority rule. The mobs on the streets of Rome exercised the entire sovereignty. Robes pierre and his Jacobin party appear to have had the con sent of the majority on the streets of Paris during the pe riod when the guillotine set tled the fate of minorities. The founding fathers of this government did not desire such pure democracy. They sought to establish justice in stead and thus provided for an intricate system of checks and balances including three de partments of government with the legislative brunch divided into two houses, one to be represented by population and one by states, Under Senator Cook's formula Oregon would have, not two senators, but MEDFORD MAIL More - none, while New York and California would have about nine each. The history of big city poli tics in this country amply demonstrates that we do not want whole states to be dom inated by one big city. Much as the small communities need representation in our state legislature for their own pro tection, the citizens of the big cities need even more the pro tection of such upstate com munities against machine or mob rule of a misled major ity in their own midst. If you believe in justice rather than the dictatorship of the proletariat, you will vote for ballot proposition number 9, which will in some small measure take into ac count divergent interests and problems and afford some pro tection against big city pres sure groups and machine poli tics. Earl Glidewell Hermiston, Ore. Wait and See To the Editor: It would be funny vif It weren't so tragic how some people can find such nice words to use In defense of some one, for in stance, when our President says that the Russians mov ing into Cuba are technicians and not troops. Of course they couldn't don uniforms after they get there, and I suppose they are not our enemies either. And all of the military equipment is for their protection? Against whom? It seems all right for them to build a military base on our front door step while we send troops or technicians to some far off small country to stop Communism. The only places we have ever halted it was where we faced them and told we would fight, as in Berlin and around Formosa. What our President seems to say, now that you are in Cuba you can stay but you can't go any farther. (Well - Until, well, until you get your military base in Cuba so strong you will be able to protect yourselves.) Some times we wonder just how long it will be before they will have all of South America? Then we will be totally sur rounded. We will wait and see, wait as we have been doing. Frank E. Shafer, 270 Glenwood rd. W Medford. Trying To Comprehend To the Editor: In regard to Ida Kelly's remark, "trying to comprehend Melchizedek." "Of whom it is written to con sider this man, who has neither beginning or end of days, neither father, mother, brother, sister, or kinsmen, being called the king of right eousness." And through right eousness breaketh the bounds of soul and flesh, into soul and spirit, doing away with ignor ance and disbelief of the flesh, and being established again in the graces of God. "Of whom it is said Christ would be made an high priest, after the order of Melchize dek." Consider what Jesus said to his mother, w hen on the cress, "Mother behold thy son." re ferring to John, and to John, "son. behold thy mother." showing that what is joined together in spirit is everlast ing, and what is joined to gether in flesh is not binding, and will be cut asunder. Those who believe are of the spirit, and those who do not are of tile flesh, whose will is against tlie spirit of God, and who were created in the spirit of God, but turned away. Also consider these things that are written: Jesus, "those that were yours, Father, thou TRIBUNE. MEDFORD.

Many writ- Barns' ers (a n d, in deed, some of the most suc cessful ones) practice a sort of literary con-game. They spe cialize in double-talk that sounds meaningful; examined with the merciless ray of log ic, their writings are as vapor ous as smoke-rings.

The angel said to John, "see thou do it not for I'm one of you fellow servants and a prophet." While they were yet in the womb of their mother, the Lord said, "Jacob I loved, Esau I hated." Lest he knew them, how could he say this? As it is written, as a streak of lightning strikes across the sky, so shall every eye see him. And by the words of our own mouth shall we be justi fied or condemned. For we are born into' this world in ignorance to God that we can do our own will without the fear of God.

Unspoiled Stream To the Editor: I read with great interest your recent edi torial concerning management practices in Rogue River Na tional Forest. The recreational aspect pro voked a lot of thought on a pack trip into the Rogue high country two weeks ago. Accompanied by a cousin from Redwood City, my wife, and son, I hiked into the head of the Middle Fork of the Rogue Canyon and remained two days. It was an experience that will not soon be forgotten. The Middle Fork canyon ex tends from a few miles East of Prospect to almost the Seven Lakes Basin where the Middle Fork starts at Grass Lake. This great canyon, which is over 2000 feet in depth at Bos ton Bluff, is truly an unspoil ed wilderness. In addition to offering su- I perb fishing it is the summer i range of the only herd of elk i in Jackson county, and though we never sighted any of these ! animals, we observed many of their tracks. Some of the most magnifi cent stands of Douglas Fir, Ponderosa Pine, and Sugar Pine remaining in Southern Oregon are located here. One Sugar Pine was noted that is surely a close second in size to the famous one in the Pros- ' pect area. 3 I don't know what the fu ! ture management plans are ; for the Middle Fork area, but I if road construction or logging is ever permitted it will be an 1 outrage against ours as well as future generations.

About 20,000 members of the big General Union of Al gerian Workers staged a huge demonstration in which marchers carried banners de manding "Bread, houses, work." They threatened a general strike should fighting erupt in Algiers, in effect declaring a "plague on both your houses." There were other pressures which threatened to leave whatever faction won with a J. Harris phrases about liberty and jus tice and the usual campaign cliches. The quotation just didn t make sense, but it lull ed you into peaceful acquies cence. Then he suddenly intro duced this sentence: "If there are more trees in the world than there are leaves on any one tree, then there must be at least two treat in the world with the same number of leaves." At first this sounded like gibberish. So I re-read it slowly, and it made com plete logical sense; moreov er, it is expressed almost entirely in one syllable words. Only it took a little effort to absorb the meaning-and unconsciously my mind re sented the trouble I had to go to. It was much easier reading the empty political paragraph. The human mind, like wa ter, takes the easiest course. It resists any break in its pattern of serenity. This is why all the great prophets and dissenters, the bold and original thinkers, have al ways met with fierce oppo sition.' We hate anyone who makes us re-examine our ideas or behavior. Yet, if we are to work out any decent sort of world in the future, we must be able to discriminate between the genuine and the phony, be tween real thought and mere literary vaporizing, between conclusions that are validly drawn from their premises and cheap appeals to our pas sions and our greed. We have to learn how to track down a syllogism, how to think out a proposition how to detect a logical fallacy (in ourselves as well as in others), how to recognize an argument based on authority or invective or emotional prejudice rather than on logic. This sort of discipline is not taught in the schools, except abstractly on the college level. If we began straightening children's thinking at the age we start to straighten their teeth, there might be some hope for us all. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS American motorists set a record for highway slaughter during the long Lauor Day week end of 1962. The final count of traffic victims for the three-day, 78 hour period showed 501 per sons killed-the most motor vehicle deaths EVER RE CORDED for a Labor Day holiday. The grim total soared over the previous all-time high of 461 for a 78-hour holiday set in 1951-11 years ago. SOUNDS rugged, doesn't it? But wait a minute. IN 1960. the latest year for which the figures are avail able as this is written, the total number of automobiles. buses and trucks registered in the United States was i3 901.471. In 1951, the corre sponding total was 51.913.965. The total of traffic victims this year was 501, as com pared with a total of 461 11 years ago. IVHICH is to say: ' The total number of mo tor vehicles in the United States is up 42 4 per cent over 1951. The total number of fatal accidents on our highways this year is up only 8.7 per cent over 1951. I JUT that way, it doesn't sound so bad. The RATE of fatal accidents this year is FAR LESS than in 1951. 'IMIE dispat Californi, tclies tell us that a had the "grim distinction' of leading the i riMii.

BanMs had halted short-term loans and tax collections were almost nil. Fear of government bank ruptcy had led to widespread hoarding of the French Franc which normally had been free ly exchanged for the Algerian franc. More French-owned enter prises were closing down daily and there was the in creasing possibility that the estimated remaining 350,000 Frenchmen soon would decide to follow the 300,000 who al ready had fled to France.

It de stroys forever the airy assur ances of pseudo-liberals that "revolutionary movements" are fine things indeed - so long as they involve left wingers and not right-wingers. It places a terrible respon sibility before history upon a 1 1 those Americans who cheered Fidel Castro on in Cuba long past the point where it was plain that he was transplanting the evil fungus of armed international communism to within 90 miles of our Florida coastline. IT BANKRUPTS the whole evangelistic theory, parrot ed with religious fervor, that communism results from cap italistic injustice, et cetera, and will vanish at once upon the spreading of sufficient welfarism among the masses. Cuba, before Castro, was nev er half so underprivileged as dozens of other lands which have, nevertheless, never sought the lethal embrace of Moscow. It fully supports what has long been fully obvious - that communism, like Hitlerism before it, is a movement of bandit ferocity and cannot be explained by old-lady minds as simply springing from too little milk for the kiddies and too little free land for "the workers and peasants." It brings into gravest ques tion the practicality of the vast effort being made by the United States, through, the Al liance for Progress, to cure all the ills of Latin America with economic aid. Foreign aid is a sound and splendid tiling - when it is given to na tions willing and able to use it for freedom's strength and openly and unashamedly against communism.

V wnit Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF JOHN WHEELER tells of a harmless, and very funny prac-; tical joke sportswriter Bill Phelon played once on l; fellow scribe. The scribe was sauntering up Broadway one- day when he met Phelon walking down. They ex changed cordial greet ings, and then Phelon, after walking down an other block, boarded a trolley bound North. After several blocks he dismounted and started back again. Of course, he met his pal again and called out a cheery, "Hi, how are ya?" as though he hadn't seen him in months. The friend stared as though he was seeing a ghost. Not satisfied yet, Phelon staged a repeat performance of his act. The third time the scriba saw Phelon strolling toward him, he called a cab and had himself driven to Bellevue Hospital, where, he vowed he. would never touch another drop. Brooks Atkinson, headed for Florida by rail, fretted when his tram stood stock still In the Washington station, finally asked the dining car steward if he knew the cause of the delay. Turned out tiie steward had a rough idea. "It seems, sir," he explained, 'that we are missing an engine."

Announces Army Archerd, ' When a friend consistently out fumblts you for the check that's ehellout falter!" O 198, by Bennett Cert Distributed by Kinc Taaturea Brndlette Algerian leaders. Since any new nation must experience its period of shakedown and adjustment, there was no rea son to expect otherwise of Algeria. - On the one hand were the) estimated 65,000 men of the National Liberation Army which mostly sat out the war in neighboring Tunesia and Morocco. On the other were 30,000 guerrillas who actually fought the war and who now referred to soldiers of the ALN as "foreigners." Ambi tious men led both factions. Ahmed Ben BeUa, 45, start ed the revolution but spent the last five years of it in French prisons. He had the support of the ALN. Belkacem Krim. 40, who emerged as Ben Bella's strongest opponent, had been an active guerrilla fighter against the French and later led the Algerian team in peace negotiations with the French. S. White powerful Latin-American na tions, while avidly ready for our economic aid, have repeat edly refused to follow us In any total quarantine of Cas tro Cuba. IT IS fashionable to say that we, the United States, should never "force our views" upon the recipients of our aid. This is the line that is taken even when precisely our views are essential to maintain that freedom from "foreign domination" for which the Latins so endlessly clamor - especially those who have snuggled up closest to international communism. And brought into question, too, is the very validity of the Organization of American States. This association of the nations of this hemisphere was created to prevent just the kind of foreign penetra tion which is and long has been so openly involved in Castro Cuba. But an effective majority ot the OAS has thus far been un willing to take any fully ra tional step against Castro Cu ba. The most ironic of all ex cuses is given by the nation closest in geography to us, Mexico. She has said that while she would like to help, she just can't find any pre cedent for it in international practice. There is a sour jest in this - for Mexico, of course, is famous for its scrupulous respect for both law and justice. SO WHAT is now left to the United States? We should try one more time to persuade the Organi zation of American States to act in honesty and honor against the Soviet cancer in the Caribbean. Failing this, we should raise a new collec tive military organization from among the minortiy who are our real friends in Latin America. Much the same was done in 1949, when we creat ed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization from within the United Nations, when it be came clear that the U.N. would do nothing about Sov iet aggression in Europe. And failing this, the Unit ed States should act alone to clear the Soviet military ap paratus from Castro Cuba; come what might. ; I
