What So Rare?
"What is so rare as a clay in June?" asked the
poet. We anwser:
A day in October a day like yesterday, Sun
day, when the mists rise slowly from the land,
and a white sun breaks
low and red of the maple leaves are gradually
yielding to the brown bare branches; when the
spicy smell of burning leaves blows across the
lawns; when the clatter of the wings of a covey
of quails is the only sound except for the whir
of a lawn mower making a last trip through the
damp grass. E.A.
For City Offices
It has been a long time since so much interest
has been shown in Medford's municipal election.
Not only are there three candidates for mayor;
there are also an unprecedented number of candi
dates for the city council three each in wards
one, two and four, and two in ward three.
This is, to our way of thinking, a healthy
thing. We hope that the interest shown by the
candidates in putting themselves forward for
election to time-consuming, difficult and unpaid
jobs is matched by the interest of the citizens
and voters, and that the "apathy" of voters this
year will prove to be more apparent than real.
WE HAVE already stated our preference for
James Dunlevy for mayor over his two op
ponents, and the reasons therefore. He is, in our
considered belief, by far the superior candidate.
Bill Singler lacks the experience and seasoning
to be chief executive of the city; Fred Robinson,
by his absenteeism and irresponsible attitude to
ward city affairs, is unqualified.
In only two of the four wards are experienced
councilmen runnincr for relection. We believe
there is always room for new blood on any coun
cil, and it will be provided this year from wards
one and four. We also believe that a certain
minimum of experienced and qualified men
should be reelected, to provide both continuity
and background for the new council.
For this reason we suggest that Donald Han
sen be reelected from ward two, and Robert L.
Baccus be reelected from ward three. We say
nothing against their opponents, but would like
to point out that Hansen has grown in stature and
maturity durintr his service on the council, and
that Baccus has been a
man, most especialy in his chairmanship of the
city's outstanding Sister City program.
IN WARD one we believe that Robert J. Cun
ningham would bring a higher degree of
rounded background and experience to the coun
cil than would either George Joyce or Die Walsh.
In ward four, we would favor the election of
Richard H. Travis over John H. Lusk and Edgar
B. Van Horn.
City office is, fortunately and sensibly, non
partisan, and these recommendations are made
regardless of the party affiliation of the indi
viduals. In some cases," indeed, we do not know
what that affiliation may be, and care less.
We think the city will be well served if Jim
my Dunlevy is elected mayor, and if Robert J.
Cunningham, Donald Hansen, Robert L. Baccus
and Richard H. Travis are elected councilmen.

Word from Florida
To the Editor: Having had
the pleasure of being a guest
in your fine city for six weeks
this past summer with my two
sisters living at 1883 Cunning
ham Road, and having made
many friends while there in
addition to my sister, Mrs,
Elizabeth Hawkins and Mrs.
Cora M. Doney, it is my feel
ing that all of them would
like to know what is going on
In Florida, in view of the
Cuban blockade.
Rest assured it has even
made a difference this quick
security measures have
been taken throughout the
state both as to the Florida
bases of the Air Fields, Naval
Bases and Cape Canaveral and
such installations as public
utility stations etc.
We are also being advised
to lay in at least two weeks
supply of groceries as well as
an extra supply of gasoline
in cases where the residents
own and drive cars.
Shelters have already been
and still being marked to pro
tect as many people as pos
sible in the event of attack
and all of these locations are
distributed in convenient lo
cations or in buildings that
are well known and easy to
reach under the direction of
the Civil Defense, etc.
The governor, the Hon. Far
rls Bryant, has also placed the
Florida National Guard on
alert in the event of need.
Other precautions such as
an extra supply of pure water
arc being advised, such as
spring water provided In five
gallon jugs, etc.
We are also providing a
supply of candles in the event
none are on hand, however,
most of us have a good sup
ply as we all carry such things
on hand during the Hurricane
season.
Orders have gone out that
all private planes are to stay
out of the Southern Florida
area south of a line drawn
across the slate from Daytona
Beach unless they have
special permits to fly into the
designated area and are able
to keep in contact with the
control towers of the main air
fields throughout that partic
ular area.
We are all prepared for
what is felt will happen as
a part of this whole blockade
build up, and that being that
it will end up with troops go
ing Into Cuba and cleaning up
and eliminating the missile
bases and getting rid of Fidel
Castro and this bunch of
brutes, which Is just plain un
varnished truth as proven by
most of the 147.000 Ctib.ms
now in the State of Florida

Ticket To Heaven
To the Editor: The other
night I dreamed that I died
and went to heaven where I
was met at the gates by St.
Peter, lie asked about my life
on earth. I told him I had

bills and managed to stay out

asked what 1 hud under my

name and address ot the writer,
the use of a pen name or Initial
ownership of the Dumas Do
mestic Laundry.
Through his leadership and
tremendous hard work his
plant has become one of the
most successful operations in
the Northwest. A disastrous
fire in 1960 would have been
the undoing of many men.
His fine record as a business
man indicates that he more
than any other candidate is
symbolic of a typical hard
working, hard driving busi
ness man: a man who has the
reputation of getting things
done.
Most certainly this is the
kind of representation that
Jackson county needs in Sa

his contribution to our area

Taxes
To the Editor: Since the peo
ple out in 40-1 have got their
tax statements and some are
scratching themselves where
they don't itch and cussing
the Assessor and Tax collec
tor, I wr.uld like to know if
there aren't other causes for
an 85.3 mill tax, the highest
school tax in Jackson county.
Could it be there is so much
O&C land in this district that
used to be on the tax rolls un
til the Government quit pay
ing the taxes and turned a
part of the money from timber
sales over to the counties in
lieu of taxes? And which I am
told Is spread over the entire
county to pay state and county
taxes and the balance Is
squandered around Medford.
1 am wondering if the can
didates for county commis
sioner would explain what
they think of this deal. I
asked the county court about
this some time ago and Miller
and James had no comment,
but Wendt explained that if
they gave a district all of the
money from a big sale they
would have too much money,
so that it was fair to all to pay
the county and state tax. I
am under the impression It
was meant that the money
that came in would pay the
same tax In each district as it
did before and another little
thing if this O&C money don't
pay taxes on the land in the
districts where it lays why
shouldn't it be spread over all
of Oregon?
In case the candidates for
judge and commissioner
haven t got time to explain
this, perhaps some learned one
from Medford would give us
an explanation.
I live in TP 39-4 west and
also pay taxes in 39-5W which
is in Josephine County and
the taxes are 55 mills.

For Unander
To the Editor: I am writing
to encourage the people of
Southern Oregon to consider
the merits of Sig Unander for
United States Senator. A re
cent poll in Multnomah coun
ty Indicated that the election
may be as close as 1.000 votes
and can go either way; thus,
the people of Oregon finally
have an opportunity to return
a man of dignity and integrity
to Washington. D. C. rather
than the source of embarrass
ment we have had in the Sen
ate for the past eighteen
years.
Wayne Morse returned to
Oregon recently and said,
after leading a filibuster in

payers of over two million

PERSONALLY, this writer
- isn't too much afraid that
the more populous areas of
Oregon will gang up on the
less populated areas and do
them dirt. Oregon is a pecu

has few sectional rivalries.

look down on their country
cousins. Oregon country peo
ple going to Portland feel
quite at home. Portland peo
ple coming out into the coun

This fact remains:

Unfair Taxes
To the Editor: In the Thurs
day Mail Tribune a letter was
written retarding unfair tax

We have appeared before
the Board of Equalization re
peatedly in the past protesting
unfair taxes. They simply
laugh in your face and urge
one to move out if you don't
like it here. They do not pre
tend to allow any depreciation
on a home, and a worthless
piece of ground or rockpilc is
their "gravy."
We have lived in the Rogue
Valley over eight years and
are paying more taxes on a
home and improvements over
20 years old than some motel
owners do in other spots.

SOMETHING to think about:
J Under the existing appor
tionment law, four Oregon
counties - which might be
termed metropolitan counties
-could control the Oregon leg
islature. Being metropolitan
counties, they might become
intrigued with a tax law that
would favor the bigger cities
at the expense of the rural
areas.
With control of the legisla
ture residing in these four
metropolitan counties, such a
law could be enacted.

I refer to the flagrant over

this kind are concessions, who
pay the owners a heavy rental

than to express "understand
ing" of the U.S. blockade ot
Cuba, but this has been
enough to afford "gratifica
tion" to American diplomats.
There is more to Japan's lim
ited response that its deep
rooted abhorrence of nuclear
warfare. Japan's world posi
tion hinges on trade, not power-bloc
politics. Her closest
geographical neighbor is Rus
sia. As Kazushige Hirasawa,
editor of the Japan Times puts
it: "Japan is in the difficult
position of a 'medium power
that can neither assume the
idealism of small nations nor
the realism of the big pow
ers." S. White
President but for his brother,
Robert.
Bundy and Sorensen, tha
one an old-line Boston Yan
kee and the other a Nebras
kan, are both leg men and
brain men. Junior to the ac
tual members of the execu
tive committee, they ara
nevertheless heard with re
spect and have no hesitation
about putting in an oar when
they think an added oar may
be needed.
No more diverse group
could readily be assembled,
from the adult male popula
tion of the United States. Tha
East and Ivy League ara
strong in the club - the Pres
ident, Robert Kenn dy and,
Dillon. But, accidental or not,
every section of the country
has a delegate in the lodge.
niLLON is a Wall Street
" New Yorker. McNamara is
a Michigander and an off-and-on
Republican. As the
former President of the Ford.
Motor Company, he speaks
the clipped language of a
reconverted industrialist.
Johnson, a Texan, talks tha
salty tongue of the Southwest,
not free at times of wort's
that could not be printed in
the, family newspaper. lit
Rusk, a Georgian long re
moved from his place of
birth, a soft, quiet voice per
sists. McCone is a Californian,
but of the laconic, non-expansive
sort. General Taylor,
like many career officers, is
a simple United States type of
man with no regional cast of
mind or accent.
Bundy, the former Dean of
Harvard College, talks exact
ly like that presumably mi
nority part of Harvard which
is basically Republican rather
than Democratic, but, ex
professor though he is, what
he has to say is far from
professorial in meaning. Ho
is. on the word of persons
who have attended the chill
ing seminars of the Crisis
Club, the oddest of all men;
he is a seven-minute-boiled
egghead. He left his academic
gown back al Harvard. The
most compelling proof of
this is that 100-proof conserva
live senators, who happen to
know the score within tha
Crisis Club, now privately
proclaim themselves "pro
Bundy men."
piNALLY, if this piece
A seems more about Bundy
than the others, it is deliber
ately so. The completely un
hidden motive is this: to re
assure the many who are in
clined to fear "professors in
government." As to Bundy,
anyhow, fear not.
Some might call this group
eight men and two boy? But,
if so, the boys - Sorensen and
Bundy - have had their long
pants on a good while now
and the pants don't seem a
bit too big for them.
