The Green Grass Grew
President's Subordinates Unable
To Keep Track of Various Orders
By DICK WEST
Waslungton-IUPII-U. 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been repealed by another ex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.

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.

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.
