S. pres idents have noted ruefully lrom time to time that it is rather easy to issue an order but a good deal more dif ficult to get it carried out. This, howev er, does not I necess a r i I y mean that some of the wit Prcs i d e n t's subordinates are7 insubordi nate. They may just be con fused. Under present conditions, It is virtually impossible for any one person, or group of per sons, to keep track of all of the orders that flow from the pens of presidents. Many of them - estimates range from 15,000 to as high as 50,000 -have disappeared somewhere in the great gov ernmental labyrinth and, like Judge Crater, were never seen again. Th. coniuiion that sur rounds presidential orders was brought to my atten tion by a Justice Depart ment attornoy, Norman J. Futor, in an article publish ed by the journal of the American Bar association. Only Futor doesn't call it "confusion"; he calls it "chaos." The bar association journal is not a publication I ordinar ily recommend to anyone seeking literary thrills, but if you are looking for someone to take you on a bureaucratic bobsled ride, Futor is your man. There arc 14 types of presi dential notices and regula tions, namely: proclamations, executive orders, memoranda orders, military orders, ad ministrative orders, regula tions, certificates, licenses, ap pointments, designations, di rectives, interpretations and letters. So what's the difference? Well ... A designation may be modified by an order, an order may be modified by a letter, a letter may be su perseded by an executive order or by a proclamation, a proclamation rray be modified by an executive order, and an executive or der may be terminated by a proclamation-that's what. Moreover, a military order may be revoked by an execu tive order, which may be amended by a proclamation, which may in turn be amend ed by another executive order and the green grass grew all around. A presidential notice com memorating the death of a distinguished citizen may be labeled either a proclamation or an executive order, or, as concerning the death of Presi dent Garfield. The government once took to the Supreme Court a case based on one executive order, only to discover that it had been repealed by another ex ecutive order. Futor seems to feel that some sort of coherent system should be adopted, but I doubt his proposals will get very far. Situations like the one he described are why so many lawyers get rich. SOFT SLEEPING New York - (UPD - Ship ments of latex foam mattress cores during the third quar ter of 1902 were 43 per cent higher than in the first three months of that year, accord ing to the Latex Foam Rubber council. Valleywide Approach Seen As Solution toJtVater Problems Representatives of various Jackson county towns and governmental agencies agreed Friday night a coordinated valleywide approach is need ed to solve water and sewage problems. Various speakers at the courthouse meeting urged es tablishment of overall, unified sewage disposal and water distribution systems to serve all the towns from Ashland to Eagle Point, to Rogue River and perhaps Gold Hill. "Th e question is not should we do it, but what will happen if we don't! C. C. Hoover, Gregory rd., White City area subdivider, emphasized. Several Sources Norman Moore, of the Boise, Ida., bureau of reclamation re gional office, said there are several possible water sources for Medford's west side area now faced in part with a shortage of pure domestic wa ter. He listed the Applegate river, the Rogue river, Mcd ford division and Talent divi sion of the Rogue basin. Wa ter could be taken from the Talent division and be replac ed with Rogue river water when the basin project is com pleted, Moore said. Henry Stewart, Portland of fice, U.S. Army Corps of En gineers, recommends an engi neering study and was sup ported by other speakers. There would be restrictions on Applegate water use for other than irrigation and downstream flow to protect the fishery, Stewart said, ac cording to present Rogue ba sin project studies. Could Provide More Authorized construction of Lost and Elk creeks' dams would provide 20,000 acre feet for future municipal wa ter. These future dams could not provide more than that, he said, but other dams could be constructed later. One dam might be at Little Butte in the L ake creek area which would be ideal for ir rigation, flood control and rec reation and flood control. However, then the law did not allow for storage of water for fishery benefits as it does now. In 1959 not enough wa ter would have been avail able for fishery benefits with out storage. Dennis the Menace p 6UESS MOW IONS IT TAKES TO MELT A SNOWBALL THS0G IN THE OVN I' Fred Gustafson, of the state engineer's office, indicated the Medford water commission would be the logical central agency for valleywide water distribution coordinated with the water distribution agen cies of the various valley towns. Money Needed District Sanitary Engineer Ted Gerow said money was the major handicap in devel oping valleywide water and sewage systems. There is no law authorizing a metropoli tan corporation for water dis tribution, he said. The state supreme court found such an agency proposed for the Coos Bay area was unconstitution al. It is possible for someone of tremendous stature and far sightedness to spearhead es tablishment of a valleywide water system, but so far the leadership has not developed locally to sell such a program, Gerow said. Current legislation propos es more independent powers for counties and a means for consolidating various service districts into one multi-dis trict, Gerow said. Water Standard High "The standards for domes tic water are much higher than those for any other pro ducts which we buy," Gerow pointed out. The county has the facilities to establish a valleywide sew age and water system, but not the authorization. A federal program allows it to borrow the needed funds on a five year basis without interest. The county court needs the support of its citizens to op erate outside the statutes to establish such valleywide sys tems, Gerow said. MID Manager Jack Hoff buhr said the irrigation dis trict's winter maintenance program would hamper a win ter domestic water distribu tion program. Winter distribu tion would add seriously to the costs, he said. Day Tells Use Ben Day, Eagle Point Irri gation district attorney, point ed out his district does use part of its facilities for a par tial water flow in winter. Gerow said other areas than the Westwood subdivision have well pollution problems. More serious is the shortage of well water during dry years when irrigation supplies draw off most of the ground water. Ten years ago Talent had this problem. Phoenix may experience this problem as more ground water is util ized, Gerow said. County Watermaster D. C. Hendrix said his office is making a study, started three years ago, of key valley wells. This will provide a better idea of ground water supplies, he added. Problem General a mil rail nf various com munities indicated most are I facing sewage and water proD-! lems now or in the future with population growth. Robert Lee , Medford water superintendent, said he could not commit the city of Med-1 ford. However, the Medford water commission acting as a single established agency! could supply water for the i valley floor less expensively. ! Medford has a large, year around source of pure water at Big Butte springs. The Med ford system supplies a num ber of outlying communities and water districts now, he said. 81 Million Need He anticipated that 81 mil lion gallons a day would be needed to serve the expected 110,000 population in the area. Big Butte has a capac ity of 26 million gallons a day. A permit on the Rogue river would provide another 65 mil lion gallons a day. So, 91 mil lion gallons a day could be provided to meet the needs of the year 2000. The Rogue river water would be diverted at the mouth of Little Butte creek with a treatment plant there. Robert Phelps, of the West wood subdivision, said a wa ter district plan is being form ed in his area. It would in clude about 400 homes, he said. County Judge Earl Miller said he has long hoped to cre ate a valleywide sewer and water system. iff 'The Sweetest Gift of All...
