By BENNETT CERF
p K. CHESTERTON once remarked, "The thing I hate
we most about an argument is that it always interrupts a
discussion." Chesterton is also credited with the story of the
wily Dancut who finally
was caught by the king's
troopers. The king, an
addict of games and rid
dles, told the bandit,
"You may make a state
ment. If you tell the
truth in it, you will be
shot. If you lie, you will
be hanged."
The bandit, without
hesitation, put every
thing in a fine dither by
declaring, "Sire, I am
going to be hung."
We Lawrence, well-loved Cleveland scribe, received this little
confession from one of his readers: "Perhaps I'm Just a perverse
creature, but wherever I read a story about the U.N., and see
the name U. Thant, it briiigs out the I Thall in me!"
a
An American tourist gazed in awe at India's famous Taj
Mahal. "And to think," he told his wife, "they were able to
do it before anybody even had heard of such a thing as foreign
eid!"

New Constitution Intended To Strengthen Government

Trail Riders Plan
Sunday Breakfast
The Medford Trail Riders
will hold a breakfast ride,
Sunday, May 5, at George
Mcllne's Pioneer Village in
Jacksonville, members have
announced.
The public is invited.
Breakfast will be served from
9 a.m. until noon.
Breakfast will be followed
by a ride and all riders and
the public are invited to par
ticipate in both.
It is on the executive
branch that the legislative
committees on constitutional
revision have taken their
firmest stand.
The committees have called
for two statewide elective ot
ficers.
One, the governor, would
be the chief of all state ad
ministration. The other, the secretary of
state, would be a "watchdog,"
a check on the administration,
whose sole job would be to
review state operations
through post auditing.
As a second step in streng
thening the executive branch,
the new constitution would
gather all the state adminis
trative agencies, boards and
commissions into not more
than 20 departments.
Headed by Appointees
The departments would be
headed by officers appointed
by the governor and con
firmed by the Senate. The
governor also would have the
power of removal. Below the
department heads, career of
ficers could serve.

BANKER DIES
Portland niPIi Funeral
will be held, here Saturday
for Ira T. Walker, who was
prominent in Portland bank
ing and investment circles.
He died last Wednesday while
on tour at Rome. Italy. He
was 78.
Oregon presently has three
constitutional elective exec
utive officers: The governor,
secretary of state and treas
urer. Two more are provided
for by law, the attorney gen
eral and labor commissioner.
All five share administration,
even though they may be
rivals.
And Oregon now has some
140 agencies, boards, depart
ments, and commissions, some
of which are nearly independ
ent. It was only after considera
tion of many alternatives,
that the legislative committee
settled on two elective offi
cers with seperate tasks and
a ceiling of 20 departments.
The decision was very close
to the proposal made by the
Commission on Constitutional
Revision, which wrote the
proposed document that the
legislative committees have
been revising
It is the greatest change in
basic governmental frame
work proposed in the new
constitution.
The thinking, expressed by
the commission and the com
mittees, is this:
Today, authority is dif
fused. Officers and agencies
can obstruct each other. When
a job is badly done it is often
difficult to tell who is to
blame. Many boards and com
missioners are safely isolated
from the governor and the
voters.
Under the proposed consti
tution, there would be a clear-
Campaign Starts by TB
Group on Chronic Cough
The Jackson County Tuber
culosis and Health association,
along with tuberculosis as
sociations through out the
United state:, is this month
starting a campaign on
chronic cough and shortness
of breath, according to Ches
ter Irish, president ot the local
association.
This marks the first nation
wide educational effort In the
broad field of respiratory dis
eases, Irish said, and is being
done because it is felt tuber
culosis cannot be eradicated
until 'respiratory diseases are
controlled. He added that
these chest conditions which
Include such diseases as em
physema, bronchitis, asthma,
fibrosis and cancer of the lung
constitute the greatest single
recurring cause of occupation
al disability among the young
and mlddleaged.
For the present, the cam
paign will consist of a pro
gram to urge Individuals with
chronic cough and shortness
of breath to seek medical care
As a step in this direction,
Irish urged Jackson county
residents to have a chest x-ray
at the Sacred Heart hospital
clinic operated by the associ
ation. The clinic will be open
Wednesday, May 1, from 7 to
9 p.m. for the convenience of
those who cannot attend the
Thursday afternoon clinic.

The governor would have

Strengthen External Chassis
The effect would h to re

ecutive branch while strength

legislature, the courts, the
"watchdog" secretary of state,
the press and the people, who
could fix praise or blame
squarely.
Reorganisation could not be
done under the present con
stitution. It would have to be
done under the new one.
The legislative committee
did much soul searching on
whether the Home, Senate
and people would accept
changes in traditional offices
and agencies. They decided if
a "constitution lor the future"
was to be written, this was
one point on which they could
not waver.
