MEDKOilD, OHECON L 1 U William H. McKinley I, William H. (Bill) McKin ley, 47, candidate for council man from Ward II, believe that Medford is one of the finest places in the U.S. to live. I am interested In keep ing it that way. I realize (hat such problems as pinking, dispollulion, traf fic, zoning, building codes, sheet and alley maintenance, juvenile, law enforcement, skid row, ct cetera must be recognized and dealt with be fore they become major prob lems if we are to keep the city a nice place in which to live.

In the spring of !)49 I was appointed local representative to southern Oregon by Otis Elevator com pany and have since that time resided with my family at 124 Newtown st.

Specific issues vary, prog ress and change so rapidly at the municipal level that, con sequently this statement might be a belter gauge to the citizens of Ward II of my qualifications to continue my eight years of representing them on the Medford city council if I set forth some gen eral ideas and opinions. Absolute courtesy should be extended by all persons con nected with the city to all per sons, at all limes. Leadership, teamwork, fore sight, responsiveness, toler ance, caution, and independ ence of decision on the part of a councilman will provide bet ter government to the people he represents. Haste can make for bad legislation and decisions. Few matters cannot wail until the next regular council meeting and few matters should be re quired lo wait longer. The council's rules of procedure are designed to protect the public by avoiding hasty ac tion and should be followed. New Methods Sought Doing things as they have been done in the past, though often the safer approach, is not sufficient and new meth ods must be constantly sought in order to belter serve the ..i.,mnlii.1imiii.,iM,iini i.iJ i I - ' ; ' .mitt" h ' I f i'V.awM tf-" h J ) ' -A , ; 1'J"'" - J I r W ' -; I if. J. " 1 mt&i f iJfai sWt if is$ i1'i DONALD HANSEN community and at more ef ficient cost. A councilman should be ready and willing to state the reasons for his vole. To pass an ordinance is an easy mailer, particularly when citizen proponents strongly advocate the meas ure without anyone speaking for the olhcr side (a very com mon situation in municipal government), but to insure thai the proposed ordinance is wise legislation in the long range and that the public's interest is truly being served thereby is more difficult. Two questions should always be answered in the affirmative before an ordinance is adopt ed: 1. Docs Ihe public (most us ually this would be the citi zens of Medford) really need this legislation, and 2. Will the good outweigh significantly the harm or its equivalent-loss of freedom' Sound Growth Sometimes action on the part of the council is advocat ed solely in the interest of ob taining size or more money in circulation. I question that these arc worthwhile ends in themselves. Sound growth should not be obstructed, but growth for growth's sake would seem pointless. Other factors such as liveability, cost of government, esthetics, nd maintaining an atmo sphere where true (not mater ialistic) values and the spirit of freedom can flourish should be considered. A- councilman must always be able to sincerely believe that his council action will have an even, equal and con stitutional application to all persons. Greater care must be exercised in understanding and treating the problems of unpopular businesses or inept citizens. It has been said that "gov ernment's goal should be ac complishing the greatest good for the long run." With that I agree. Medford citizens have a reputation for foresight and pride in our community and I should like the privilege of trying lo further that fore sight and pride for another four years. 1 lake this opportunity to thank my opponents for the interest they have shown in our city by seeking to actively participate in our government.
