Legislative Arrogance
Barring Borne sort of legislative legerdemain,
Oregon's proposed new Constitution is dead for
the duration of this session of the Legislature.
With three votes to spare, the Senate knocked
it out, thus eliminating the one chance this Legis
lature had to go down in history in a constructive
way. Defeat of the Constitution can be described
only as legislative arrogance.
The 1961 Legislature was instructed, by the
voters, to do something about a new Constitu
tion. Wisely, it recognized the magnitude of the
task. It realized that no Legislature, busy with
tax bills and such, could possibly give constitu
tional revision the time it deserved. So it called
for a constitutional revision commission. The
Legislature, the governor and the Supreme Court
appointed a commission, as fine a commission
as any state ever had working in its interests. Bi
partisan, completely above political considera
tions, the commission was aeen in exnerience.
deep in brains, and deep in dedication. It came
up with a proposed Constitution, which it pre
sented to this Legislature. A two-thirds vote of
each house was required to submit the proposed
document to the voters in the May 1964 election.
The House came through, with one vote to spare.
The Senate refused, with three votes to spare.
"THE legislators who scuttled the new Constitu
1 tion did so because they didn't like it. But what
they thought about it was really quite beside the
point. What they apparently did not realize is
the voters of Oregon didn't give two hoots in a
rainbarrel what the Legislature thinks of the new
Constitution.
That was not the issue at all. The issue was
permitting the voters of Oregon to say what they
thought of it. This, 13 senators were unwilling to
do. And this was arroeance. pure and simple. It
was also a slap in the face for a dedicated and
intelligent commission.
Conceivably, the people could pull this out
themselves and somehow, perhaps through the
initiative, get it on the ballot, the Legislature not
withstanding. But this is unlikely, if for no other
reason than the 45,000 signatures that would
have to be obtained. It costs money to mount the
kind of campaign that could bring in that many
signatures. Ana who wants to pay?
THERE may, however, be a silver lining in all

mauling the draft version of the proposed Con
stitution, it was far from the real revision its
authors had provided.
It was better than the present , document, by
a long shot, but not nearly so good as it had been
before the mauling. If it had been adopted by the
Legislature, in Its altered form, the real momen
tum of revision would have been spent. And we
still would not have obtained the kind of real re
vision the votei-s, the last Legislature and the
commission had in mind.
Perhaps now the next Legislature, which
ought to have some shining new faces in it, will
take a less arrogant view and will permit the
voters to have their say about a model Constitu
tion for a state that deserves it. Eugene Regis
ter-Guard.
What Next for Constitution?
The proposed new Oregon Constitution has
led an eventful life.
After passing the House by the required two-
thirds majority, conservative opponents and lib
eral apportioned teamed up to defeat it in the
Senate. Then it was revived, sent back to com
mittee, modified slightly to satisfy the liberals
on apportionment, and sent again into the benate
arena. But its failure Tuesday to win a two-thirds
maioritv. considerinc the nature of the 13 opposi
tion votes, presumably kills the new document
for this season.
Senators rejected the constitution because
more than one-third of the membership wouldn't
go for sweeping reorganization of the executive
department and centralization or power and re
sponsibility in the hands of the governor.
We assume that a similar proposal will go
before the legislature two yeara hence. But it will
face another uphill struggle to win two-thirds ap
proval in each house.
The Oregon Constitution provides for an elec
tive governor, secretary of state and treasurer. It
specifies that the secretary of state shall keep
records, act as auditor, and handle "such other
duties as shall be assigned him by law." The
treasurer shall have duties and powers "such as
may be prescribed by law."
But the legislature could abolish the Board
of Control, through which the secretary of state
and treasurer share with the governor adminis
tration of 8tate institutions. It could abolish the
elective officers of attorney general and labor
commissioner and assign these duties to depart
ments under the governor. It could reorganize
the entire structure of the executive department
into not more than JO major departments head
ed by individuals or commissions appointed by
the governor. In other words, the legislature has
full power to do most of the reorganizing called
for in the proposed constitution.
We believe the people of Oregon should have
had the opportunity to debate its merits and ac
cept or reject it. But we also believe that it's sig
nificant that 41 representatives and 17 senators
appear willing to streamline and modernize Ore
gon government And that's more than enough to
do bo by statute.--o.iem capital Journal. t

Typical American
To the Editor: In your pa
per on May 2363 you stated
that you have never read "The
Last Temptation of Christ"
and do not intend to, yet you
go all out to write an edi
torial in defense of this book's
presence in our public librar
ies. That is typical of t h e
smug, present day American.
It Is quite evident that you
do not know there is a well
planned program now being
efficiently carried out by sub
versives In America to entire
ly corrupt the Impressionable
young minds of our children.
My personal experience tells
me that the buzzard and the
sewer rat are two of the filth
lest things on earth. But they
are spotless and clean com
pared to the two legged por
nography books that can taint
a child s mind to the point
where he might as well be a
dope fiend, and quite possibly
may become a pervert. It is
definitely known that children
exposed to this type of thing
lose interest in class work and
their desire for learning. This
was reported by Philadelphia
teachers to the Phlladelphi
Women's Committee.
Our news stands are full
of these dirty 50 cent books,
and I mean dirty. And it was
inevitable that the subversive
Influences in America would
manage to get some of them
accepted into our libraries
(both school and public).
Brave New World" is one
example. So is "The Last
Temptation of Christ" which
is head and shoulders above
all other books of this type -a
Satanic masterpiece of the
enemy, showing his venom
ous hate of our Lord and Sa
vior. To me; the blasphemy
In this book against our pre
cious Redeemer is worse than
spitting on our flag and stamp
ing It In the dirt, something
no seif respecting American
would stand for.
A book like this has just
one purpose: to destroy every
thing decent, lovely, and pure
In the Christian American
way of life; to destroy the
very foundation upon which
our nation was built, by strik
ing at the roots ot our Chris
tian faith. It is a Red book
serving a Red purpose. And
to defend Its presence in our
libraries Is on par with de
fending Khrushchev's right to
violate our Monroe Doctrine.
All my admiration goes out
to Mrs. Alice I. Black who
wrote the original letter which
Inspired the above mentioned
editorial. It took a lot of grit
to stand up and be counted
as she did. So many Chris
tians, now days, do not care
to defend their Lord, if it is
going to cost them something.
Thank you, Mrs. Black, for
being so faithful.

Followed With Interest
To the Editor: I have fol
lowed with Interest the de
velopment of friendly rela
tions between the citizens of
Medford and the citizens of
Alba, Italy. The last cultural
exchange program between
the two cities is a very good
idea and I am sure the paint
ings will be very useful to
both cities.
The indignation of the Med
ford citizens over the misun
derstanding with the Customs
Department, as discussed In
the editorial of May 30, 1963
is very understandable. 1
don't know much about the
customs rules of the United
States, but I am sure this
misunderstanding over the
exchange of paintings could
be amiably settled in time.
The editor of the Medford
Mail Tribune isn't helping
much.
I have been taught, not only
at school and at home, but
also in my personal experi
ences, that a little tact and
diplomacy will go much far
ther than a display of temper
and profane language, such as
was used in the editorial of
May 3.0. My family and I re
sent very strongly the use of
such language in a paper that
is read by a large percentage
of the people in the Rogue
River valley.
I would like to say that the
part of the editorial about the
Clr.rion-Ledger of Jackson,
Mississippi was very good. I
agree you were complimented
by the things Mr. Hill had to
say.

Answers Editorial
To the Editor: Answering
your editorial, or comments
on my letter in M.M.T
52863 I will say that you
did a skillful job in attempt
ing to divert the reader from
the kernel of my letter, how
ever, for the two points on
which you admittedly agree
with me, namely, my sincer
ity and thesis that parents
should know what their chll
dren are reading, I say
thanks.
You say, you do not be
lieve that the objectionr of
one or even a group of peo
ple is adequate reason for cen
soring books, throwing them
out of the library, I say public
libraries belong to the peo
pie, are built and supported
with the people's tax money
and the people do have
right to say what type of
books are placed therein. Is
America no longer a land
with government of the peo
ple, by the people and for the
people?
You say, the passages quot
ed in my letter would not,
you feel, of and by themselves
serve to corrupt anyone. 1
ask, how vulgar does a quota
tion need to be to, in your
estimation to serve to corrupt
anyone?
The author of The Last
Temptation of Christ spent a
number of years in Russia
Russia boasts of their athe

Christ is the Devil's master
piece, written and circulated
for the express purpose of (1)
corrupting the morals of our
youth (it is full of lewd sex)
and (2) to destroy the very
foundation of our Christian
heritage and Uiereby every
thing that has made America
great, by casting our sinless
Lord and Saviour as a lustful
degenerate. With these two
things accomplished America

Revised Edition

Our superintendent of Pub
lic Instruction, Dr. Max Raf
ferty, says we shouldn't tell
our children about Mr. Wash
ington's temper, Mr. Lincoln's
table manners or Mr. Ben
Franklin's talents with the
ladies. Because, he says,
"that's not the way to teach
patriotism."
And it certainly isn't. The
way to teach patriotism is
through my new revised his
tory textbook: "Heroes of our
Glorious Revolution." Allow
me to quote.
Our first Hero was Hero
President George (Smiling
George) Washington, the
most even-tempered man who
ever lived. We tell many sto
ries about him. When he was
little boy he stopped his
father from chopping down a
cherry tree. "Father," he said,
"I cannot tell a lie. I am a
conservationist." H i s father
hit him with the axe, but lit
tle Smiling George, as usual,
just smiled.
As you know, little Smiling
George grew up to lead our
glorious peoples revolution.
Which we won because we
were all more trustworthy,
loyal, helpful, friendly, cour
teous, kind, obedient, cheer
ful, thrifty, brave, clean and
reverent than the enemy. Just
as we've been in every war
ever since.

"Enthusiasm" is, generally
cited as an absolute virtue by
its proponents, who rarely
bother to ask themselves
whether there is an optimum
point beyond
which enthu
siasm turns
into a vice.
Indeed, the
line between
e n t h usiasm
and fanati
cism is a thin
one; and be
liefs that are
Htm" too passion
ately held tend to deny the
rights of any other beliefs.
Sometimes, in fact, enthusi
asm is a substitute for rea
soned belief, rather than a
consequence of it.
Some years ago, Bertrand
Russell warned us that "The
opinions that are held with
passion are always those for
which no good ground exists
indeed, the passion if the
measure of the holder's lack
of rational conviction."
It is sometimes said to be
a weakness of democracy that
those of us who profess it
do not hold our convictions as
ardently or tenaciously as
those who subscribe to com
munist or fascist doctrines.
e
This is true, but I re
gard it as a strength rath
er than as a weakness. To
be dogmatic and doctrin
aire about democracy is a
contradiction in terms. De
mocracy cannot be pushed
down people's throats: it
cannot be imposed upon
them "for their own good,"
or it becomes as diabolic as
the totalitarian systems.
In an interesting article
en "Scientists. Seers and
Strategy," in the April is
sue of "Foreign Affairs."
Prof. Albert Wohlstetter re
minds us that. In discussing
the complex political mil
itary problems we face,
"the primary thing is not
to be positive."
The basic failure of the
physical scientists and en
gineers in their turbulent
history during the cold ar,
he tells us. "is not their
lack of prescience but their
acting frequently as U the
bad it."
e e e
Zealots are positive Idea
logues are positive. Biots
are positive. But a democratic
society must be willing to
give up the small psychology
cal advantage engendered by
that kind of positiveness; it
must be tentative, flexible,
open to new possibilities, con
tinually questioning its own
basic assumptions.
This is essentially what sci
ence does, when it is operat
ing truly and freely, in a ra
tional atmosphere. The sci
entist is enthusiastic about his
pursuit of truth; but he is ex
tremely skeptical that he has
even attained more than
portion of it, or that he grasps
it in exactly the right way,
Not to be positive is one of
the cardinal virtues of a dem
ocratic society. But since po
litical power is usually seized
by enthusiasts of one stripe
or another, the exercise of dis
passionate reason in a democ
racy always faces the danger
of being crushed between
competing passions.
