Should Bt Proud
To the Editor: I would like
to add my support to a most
able and capable legislator,
bob Duncan.
I hope the people of south
ern Oregon will give honor
to a man who has proved, be
yond a doubt, he should rep
resent the 4th District of Ore
gon, I have found few men so
dedicated to doing a good job
for the people of Oregon as
Bob Duncan.
His two terms as speaker
of the House is a record of
faith of both parties.
I am sure if you send him
to Congress, you will be proud
of his record, and beyond this
you will receive attention to
your problems.
I have known Bob for many
years, and his family. You
should be proud to have him
represent you.

Hatfield Challenged
To the Editor: As a lawyer
I was interested in Hatfield's
statement o n "Viewpoint"
that a number of "competent"
attorneys had advised him
that he could employ Loren
Hicks as his private attorney
at state expense and in direct
violation of Oregon law.
Sec. 180.220 (1) provides
that the Attorney General
shall have "full charge and
control of all the legpl busi
ness of all departments, com
missions and bureaus of the
state, or of any office thereof,
which requires the services of
an attorney or counsel."
Sec. 180.220 (2) provides as
follows: "No state officer,
board, commission or the
head of a department or in
stitution of the state shall em
ploy or be represented by any
other counsel or attorney at
Sec. 180.230 (1) stales: "No
compensation shall be al
lowed to any person for serv
ices as an attorney or coun
selor to any department of
the state government or to the
head thereof."
This law was enacted by
the legislature in 1947. In that
session I served as Speaker
of the House and I know the
intent of the legislature was
to prevent state officers from
employing private lawyers at
state expense. Despite the
clear, unequivocal and unam
biguous wording ot the law
Hatfield has employed a pri-

ON CUBA . . .
CARL FISHER
SAYS:
". . . The Cuban sit
uation is very much
an issue in this cam
paign. As this situa
tion grows more ser
ious, we Americans
must show President
Kennedy that we
support a policy of
firmness even if it
means the
setting up
of a
vate attorney at an annual
salary in excess of $13,000 a
year and which illegal salary
is being paid by Oregon tax
payers. Hatfield has challenged the
attorney general to prosecute
him. In the interest of econ
omy I hope Mr. Thornton
does just that. I now chal
lenge Hatfield to reveal the
names of these "competent"
lawyers who have advised
him that he can violate Ore
gon law with impunity. In
my opinion no lawyer worthy
of this calling would render
such an opinion in view of
the plain and clear provis
ions of the law covering the
subject.

The Best Man
To the Editor- As I see it,
the most important reality of
the moment, besides the ever
present worry of the Commu
nists and Cuba, is that an elec
tion is upon us. On Tuesday
we will go to the polls and
- here in Oregon - elect a
governor, senator and four
congressmen, as well as other
state, county and local offi
cials. We have a special part to
play here in Jackson county.
Again, it is a distinct privilege
to have a local man running
for 4th District congressman.
This man, of course, is Bob
Duncan. I wonder how many
voters here realize that it is
a vastly important advantage
to have one of our own people
in Congress who has already
distinguished himself with his
ability to work administra
tion wise, both as an adminis
trator and as a co-legislator?
We often have problems that
can't be solved either at the
local or state level.
Bob Duncan, so well inform
ed on the particular needs of
this area, would be a tre
mendous asset to us on the
national level. One need only
know Bob to be assured that
he would quickly win the
respect and friendship of his
colleagues in Congress, as was
exhibited in the Oregon Legis
lature where he became the
only speaker to be twice con
secutively elected. He has al
ready received recognition by
the administration, being one
of only three state legislators
in the entire country appoint
ed by the President to his Ad
visory Council on Inter-governmental
Relations.
The opportunity we have
of electing our own Bob Dun
can to Congress is enhanced
by our secure knowledge that
he has those qualities we need
in a good congressman: sound
independent judgment, a fine
legislative background, ma
turity combined with vision,
and a warm desire to under
stand the ideas and problems
of all the people he comes
in contact with. I have often
seen him actually defend the
opinion of his adversaries
through a sense of fair play,
when he knew that their dif
ference lay only in view point,
not from lack of mutual de
sire to serve. This has been
expressed in his conduct as a
lawyer as well as a true rep
resentative of the people.
We do not need to look
any further than the bounda
ries of our own county for
the best Congressman we can
possibly elect: Bob Duncan.

nearer centralized govern
ment or fascism. We refuse to
surrender our personal re
sponsibility in government.
"Besides giving the proper
amount of concern for our
children, who are the most
precious of our possessions,
some consideration should be
given to the state of mind of
our adults. All are inclined
to be mentally lazy to say the
very least. It is so easy to lose
the personal responsibility
for public welfare and satisfy
conscience by voting for
some alleged specialist to run
affairs for us. Hitler consid
ered the people Incapable of
governing themselves and it
didn't take long for him to
acquire their cooperation in
that way of thinking.
'"Our legislators who
passed the reorganization law
were not so democratically
minded as they should have
been. "There has been set up
a centralized administration
so far removed from the elec
torate that it is practically
taxation without representa
tion. It was a step which may
be costly to undo but more
costly to continue to tolerate.
We have had enougn ot
school buses traveling thou
sands of unnecessary miles
with their incalculably preci
ous cargo in rain and snow
and fog in order to cram
these children into over
crowded schoolrooms with
overburdened teachers who
scarcely learn the names of
the pupils, many of wnom
sadly need personal attention.
For months many of tnese
youngsters must leave home
before daylight and return
after dark. How well do you
think you could do your home
work on a swaying school
bus?
Vote for the repeal of the
school district re-organization
law.

Found Warning
To the Editor: Since the
school district reorganization
law has been tried and found
wanting in the estimation of
a substantial proportion of us
we would like to quote from
a letter which appeared over
our signature in the M.M.T.
when the present consolida
tion with Medford was under
consideration.

solidation do not realize that
we are sacrificing one of our
most democratic institutions
and are moving one more step

as individuals seek, or wheth-j To the Editor: There are
er we are not elected, our I times to rise above party la
bels and the election of Henry
F. Padgham as state senator
is, for me. the proper time.
Henry has shown an honest,
selfless determination to serve
the people of this area and
is deserving of both Demo
cratic and Republican sup
port. He is a successful business
man and a sensitive citizen.
He has displayed high prin
ciple within his party and
great integrity in our commu
nity. No special interests bind
him and a heartfelt call to
responsible public service
guides him.
As a Republican I am proud
to support him and urge a
bi-partisan vote to put him
in the state senate!

gratitude is deep and sincere.
Those of us who may be
chosen to be of further public
service to our fellow citizens
promise to fulfill the duties
of our office with the utmost
conscientiousness, bearing al
ways in mind tht we are, in
truth, only the servants of the
people of Jackson county.
Those of us who may not be
elected wish to make it emi
nently clear that our desire
to be of service to our fellow
citizens will not diminish and
that we will always owe a
great debt of gratitude to
those who nominated us in
the primary and gave us this
opportunity to take part in
self-government which is our
heritage and our right as citi
zens of the greatest country
on earth.

Your Republican Team
Brainwash
To the Editor: Undoubtedly,
many of you readers have
been totally d'fgusted with
the gigantic and, in many
cases, idiotic give-a-ways of
our tax dollars both here ana
abroad. Yet, you felt frus
trated in doing anything to
stop it.
In the 49 other states we
can do little or nothing, but
here in Oregon we have the
perfect opportunity to kick
out ot the Senate one of the
foremost spenders of our time
- Wayne Morse. In recent
years he has voted for these
wild - eyed spending schemes
almost 100 per cent of the
time.
Many union members are
being brainwashed through
COPE, by their own dues
money, to vote for Morse. The
union bosses and the racket
eers among them have been
helped to their pinnacles of
power by Morse in past years
and they intend to do their ut
most to keep him in the Sen
ate for future favors. Union
members and other voters
need only check the Senate
voting record of Wayne Morse
and see for themselves. You
will be shocked at the audaci
ty of this man in asking for
your vote because he "will
hold down taxes and con
serve spending".
Those who have been suffi
ciently brainwashed to vote
for Morse again - and should
he be re-elected - can only
hang their heads in shame
when reading about future
wasteful spending programs.

Leigh Endorsed
To the Editor: I am writing
this as a result of my heartfelt
belief in "De" Leigh. I can
assure you that I have never
known a finer man, nor one
for whom I have greater ad
miration. I worked in the Jackson
county sheriff's office part
time during 1948 and as a full
time deputy beginning in
January of 1949 and until
Nov. 7, 1949. During that
period of time I worked di
rectly under and took my in
structions from "De" Leigh,
who was the supervisor of the
criminal department of the
sheriff's office. As far as I
was concerned he was my
boss.
I give full credit to "De"
Leigh for my training, which
enabled me to do my present
work.
"De" is one of the best in
structors I have ever had and
he knows how to train men
and is an excellent adminis
trator. I can most simply and
honestly assure you that I
hold no man in higher regard
and I sincerely urge all re
sponsible citizens of this coun
ty who are desirous of re
sponsible county administra
tion to elect "De" sheriff on
Nov. 6.

served as chairman of a stand
ing committee in 18 years; has
never authored a bill of im
portance which has been en
acted; and has talked longer
with less effect than any other
Senator in history.
However, I believe that
Senator Morse and his out-of-state
supporters have under
estimated the intelligence and
independence of the Oregon
voters. We are tired of an er
ratic, egotistical "lone wolf"
who votes according to his
principles - as they happen to
be at the moment.

Still The Great Voice
To the Editor: It should be
obvious to everyone who has
watched TV or listened to the
radio for the past few weeks
that Sen. Wayne Morse has a
tremendous amount of money
to spend on his reelection cam-'
paign. Therefore, every voler
should ask himself these ques-1
tions: (1) Where is the money
coming from to pay for this
huge amount of advertising?
(2) Why is it necessary to flood
the voters of Oregon with this
emotional, sometimes distort-
ed political propaganda?
In answer to the first ques-!
tion, one need only remember
the $100 and $50 a plate din-!
ners held for Senator Morse
in Los Angeles and Washing- j
ton, D. C, earlier this year to
know the most of Sen. Morse's ,
campaign funds are from out
of state, and that they come !
from labor bosses, labor
unions and others with special j
interests to whom Senator
Morse is and will continue to j
be obligated (if he is reelect
ed), j
To answer the second ques-1
tion, Senator Morse and his
propagandists are using every
method possible to make you, !
the voters of Oregon, forget i
the facts of his record. They i
want you to forget he has in
sulted and antagonized mem
bers of both parties in the j
Senate, endangering approval j
of Oregon projects; has never j
