What Do Voters Want?
A letter appearing
tions column declares that tnere is no "tax re
volt" in Oregon, in connection with the referra
of the tax program to the Oct. 15 election.
Instead, the writer maintains, it is specifically
a revolt against the state income tax only.
Another reader, who telephoned the other
dav. said she viewed the
a broadened tax base, specifically the sales tax,
which would permit income and property tax
relief.
IT IS TRUE that these
validity, representing
that money has to be raised to keep government
operating, but who object specifically to tne way
it is being done. Neither, apparently, wants to
cripple the state and education.
Still another view,
telephone call, is an objection to what some con
sider waste of tax money
ment, including the local school systems an
objection to "frills" and unnecessary employees
and expensive buildings and equipment.
But if we are correct, many, many others
who plan to vote against the tax measure really
ARE "revolting" against taxes in general, against
what they consider to be exhorbitant government
and school spending, against the Legislature and
Governor and to heck
THE Capital Journal in Salem poses the prob
lem :
"If the voters reject the present bill, legislators aren't
going to know what people want (even assuming that the
people know themselves). Would this indicate that the vot
ers want more of the local school burden shifted from a
state income taxes to local property taxes? Would it be a
mandate to hack away at the higher educational program
by forcing up tuition and entrance requirements? Would it
'mean tnat a majority oi tne voters want a minion cut
back or a $50 million one, and where? Or would it simply
mean that the voters are angry at every tax collector in
the land, and want to vent some spleen, without any idea -where
such a major reduction might be made?"
We strongly suspect that all these motiva
tions are involved, in varying degrees, among
aroused voters.
And because of this, the legislature will have
no idea what the people or a majority of them
want. Thus what they might do is, at this
writing, utterly unpredictable. So, in this mat
ter, we repeat, with Hamlet, ". . . rather bear
those ills we have than fly to others that we
know not of." E.A.
The Bar Exam Failures
The Eugene Register-Guard, commenting on
the fact that only 68.2 per cent of the University
of Oregon law school graduates taking the recent
State Bar examination
a telling point.''
"Plainly," the R-G says, "there is a lack of
coordination between those who teach (law)
students and those who examine them. One
group, a faculty, says a student is ready to prac
tice law. Another group, the bar examiners, says
he is not."
And, the Guard adds, "the two sets of require
ments ought to be coordinated. The present sys
tem is plainly unfair, costly and cruel."
THE fact is that the U of O law graduates did
better, as a group, than those from other law
schools. But, since both
Board of Bar Examiners
of Oregon, the discrepancy between the number
of graduates taking and the number passing the
bar examinations is even more shocking.
Is the law school course too easy? Or is the
bar exam too tough? We have no way of know
ing. But we do know that, for a student to sweat
out the long years of study, receive his diploma,
and then fail to make the grade at the bar exami
nation, is a personal tragedy of no small dimen
sions. It is a waste of a talented human resource,
and a waste of taxpayers' money, much of which
is invested in the graduate's education.
HTHERE has been some discussion in past years
- that the bar examination is "rigged" so that
only a certain percentage of those taking it can
pass it, the idea being that the legal profession,
which operates one of the tightest "unions" in
existence, will not becoma overcrowded.
We do not know, either, whether this is true
or not, but if it is, it is unworthy of a respected
profession.
Clearly, if future lawyers are to be "screen
ed," it should be done at the undergraduate level,
rather than after completing successfully those
long, hard years of study.
It is a matter the Bar Association should re
view, for in the present circumstances, the situa
tion is little less than a public scandal. E.A.

THE NEW AMERICAN
RESPONSIBILITY
BANGKOK, Thailand - If you
ride the circuit of the countries
living in the grim shadow of
C o m m u n ist
China; you are
left with a vivid
and decidedly
disturbing i m
pression. The
i m p r e s s ion
grows from In
dia to Burma,
from Burma to
Laos, and from
Aimp Laos to Thai
land, that the new responsibility
the U. S. has assumed in India
is vastly bigger than most peo
ple tnmiy suspect.
Ostensibly, the U. S. govern
ment is merely committed to
give military aid to the Indian
government.
There is no treaty, there is
no understanding going beyond
tne aid agreement. But in
Asian eyes, the aid agreement
alone is quite enough to cast
the mantle of American pro
tection over India. ,
AS A matter of practical pol
itics, therefore, the U. S.
cannot afford to allow a re
newed Chinese attack on India
to go unpunished. Right there is
the new American responsibility
which must be discharged un
less the U. S. government wants
every Asian to be convinced
that America is a tissue-paper
tiger, just as Peking says.
Judging from the current po
sition in India, even the high
est American policymakers have
not yet looked squarely at this
new responsibility which was
assumed with such Galbraithian
blitheness. The same mistake
seems to have been made that
was made in Laos.
A great many thousand words
have been written about the mis
take in Laos without correctly
identifying it. The Americans
on the scene are blamed, yet
they judged rightly. When there
was no one in Laos but the Lao
tians, the American-baked Lao
tians defeated the Communist
backed Laotians in every round
of the contest. What was done
in Laos would have succeeded
if Laos had not been invaded.
The real misjudgmcnt was in
Washington, where it was as
sumed that the majestic pres
ence of President Eisenhower in
the White House would be
enough to deter any border
crossing by North Vietnam.
WHEN Laos was invaded, the
U. S. government was there
fore wholly unprepared to cope
with the resulting mess. All it
could do was try to localize the
mess in Laos. But there will be
no way on earth to localize the
mess that can be expected if
the brisk presence of President
Kennedy in the White House is
not enough to deter another
Chinese invasion of India.
As already reported in this
space, the Chinese have made
the most complete preparations
for a further advance into In
dian territory. A huge chunk
o( India, the Northeast Frontier
Agency, has been left without
a soldier in it. And no visible
preparations have been made to
force the Chinese to pay a se
rious price for a further ad
vance. In these circumstances, one
must pray that the U. S. govern
ment is right in thinking, as it
apparently docs think, that the
Chinese advance will not take
place after all. But it is at least
Imprudent not to consider the
consequences i( the Chinese
merely grab the Northeast
Frontier Agency and this new
grab goes effectively unpun
ished
As the area is remote, moun- j
tainous. and inhabited only by
tribal people, the Indian gov-
ernment seems to hope that the !

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON
By Joseph A I sop

In Burma, to begin with, the
government's hesitant current
movement down the road to
wards alignment with Peking
will be speeded to a rapid trot
or even a gallop.
In Laos, and even here in
Thailand, every friend of the
West will grow fainthearted, and
the friends of Chinese Commun
ism will be proportionally em
boldened. Worst of all, the Chi
nese Communists themselves
and their satellites in North Viet
Nam will also be enormously
emboldened. Tne North Viet
namese, for instance, have al
ready broken the Geneva agree
ment by leaving several thou
sand troops in Laos. If further
emboldened, they are likely to
send in enough additional troops
to roll up Laos like a carpet.
In plain truth, another Chin
ese attack on India will now
have the effect, because of the
new American responsibility, of
a general assault on the entire
American and Western position
in Asia. That is surely some
thing to think about, as the
campaigning season approaches
on the Indian frontier even if
the odds against such an attack
are every bit as high as the U.S.
policy-makers reportedly be
lieve. In the Day's News

From Washington:
Over-riding solid Republican
opposition, the House ways and
means committee approves an
$11 BILLION tax cut-the big
gest tax cut in the nation's
history.
Republican members lined up
solidly against the measure
after the committee rejected by
a one-vote margin a GOP at

of the tax cut that applying

qiHAT is to say:
- The Republican members
of the committee insisted that
if we are going to CUT TAXES
we must CUT SPENDING also.
rpHE position of the Republican
members of the powerful
House ways and means commit
tee is based upon a statement
issued the other day by Former
President Eisenhower, in which
he said:
"Various members of Cong
ress have asked my views on
the proposed legislation to re
duce taxes this year. These are
my views:
"A tax cut is highly desirable
but only if the persistent and
frightening increase in federal
expenditure is halted in its
tracks. It is my position that
any tax cut without firm HALT
ING of expenditure increases is
unwise, undesirable and certain
to damage our currency and the
nation.

THE WAY TO PEACE
Dear Dr. Adler: Is world
peace possible, or is it con
trary to human nature? For
the past thousands of years
man has spent his time kill
ing off his fellow man. Why
has he not been able to live
in peace with his fellow man?
Would world peace really be
possible?
Mrs. Marjorie Blose

Dear Mrs. Blose: Thomas
Hobbes, writing in the 16th cen
tury, provided an illuminating
approach to the problem of war
and peace. Wherever there is an
organized political community,
with sufficient power and auth
ority to maintain law and order,
he said, there you have peace.
Where there is no such com
munity, you have war, whether
actual fighting is going on or
not.
War, Hobbes said, consists in
the disposition to take up arms
whenever men think it neces
sary to secure certain ends.
War in this sense existed in the
state of nature, before civil so
ciety existed, in the tooth-and-claw
struggle for survival and
Editorial Comment
BUT YACHTLESS
Teen-age boys and girls look
upon careers in medicine, law,
science and engineering as most
-exciting, a recent survey in
dicates. Scholastic Magazine recently
surveyed more than 4,400 youths
in high schools throughout the
nation. Participants were asked
to register reactions to various
career possibilities, rating them
exciting, moderately interesting
or dull.
We wouldn't argue against
any of the four suggested. For
one thing, different people find
excitement in different things.
And all four offer considerable
opportunity for service, as well
as monetary reward.
But we believe at least three
other careers ought to be right
at the top of the list. They offer
almost unlimited opportunity for
worthwhile service, for men and
women of talent and dedication
who aren't intent upon acquir
ing a couple of yachts. We refer
to journalism, education and the
ministry, three of society's most
important callings. Capital
Journal, Salem.
EDUCATION AND ECONOMY
Oregon is going to be inundat
ed with people within this dec
ade. Every sign points to it.
What kind of work will await
these people, and what kind of
incomes they will make and pay
taxes on, will depend to a very
large extent upon what kind of
an education system we have
when they arrive.
If we have a top-notch one,
progressive industries which
need top-notch graduates in
abundance will be here to util
ize them. If we have a mediocre
system, industries will stay
where they are and attract our
fewer top graduates to other
states.
Education makes up one-third
of the 1963-65 Oregon state bud
get, and it will be set back for a
decade if the state income tax
bill is rejected. It doesn't seem
possible that Oregonians could
even consider such short-sighted
action. Capital Press, Salem.

domination between individuals.
It also exists now in the re
lations between nations, which
always hold in reserve the ca
pacity of making war on one
another. Whether they are en.
gaged in military action or not,
they are in a state of war at
all times.
If Hobbcs's analysis is cor
rect, then it would seem that
world peace requires an orderly,
non-violent system of settling
disputes between nations, on
the model of the arrangement
that prevails for the settling of
disputes between individuals
within each nation. "Civil so.
ciety," John Locke said, "is a
state of peace amongst those
who are of it, from whom the
state of war is excluded by the
umpirage which they have pro.
vided in their legislation for the
ending of all differences that
may arise amongst any of
them." A worl d without war
then would be one in which arm
ed force is ruled out as a meth
od of settling international con
flicts, and recourse is had to
alternative means of adjust
ment negotiation, arbitra.
tion, legislation, and law courts
In our time, the nations still
reserve the right to make war
on one another. The great now.
ers are engaged in an intensive
race to attain military super
iority. Yet if they ever use the
arms they have amassed, it will
probably mean their mutual de
struction in a thermonuclear in
ferno. The necessity of establishing
a peaceful world order is clear.
But the power struggle between
the Democratic and Commu
nistic countries is so intense,
and their ideas of what justice
consists in so opposes, that
it seems impossible that any
viable agreement can be made
between them. Can permanent
world peace be established,
when the basic conflicts have
been unresolved?
It is the contention of one fam
ous student in this field, Wal
ter Millis, not only that it can
be done, but that this is the
only practicable way it can be
done. We cannot do away with
the struggle between the con
tending political systems, says
Millis, but we can demilitarize
the conflict, and provide the
means for it to be conducted
peacefully. Demilitarization of
the power struggle would re
quire a basic agreement to for
swear war as an instrument of
national policy, implemented by
a disarmament agreement lim
iting each nation to the force
necessary to keep peace within
its borders, and by an inter
national agency to supervise dis
armament and safeguard world
peace.
Millis contends that such a
compact would set up the at
mosphere in which the various
procedures and institutions to
handle power disputes could be
constructed. To wait until the
contending power blocs have at
tained similar social systems or
until a fully constituted world
government has been establish
ed would be impracticable and
disastrous. Millis assumes that
the competing systems would
still battle for supermacy on the
various outstanding issues, but
not by organized international
warfare.
Millis is proposing something
midway between HnhrWs stat
of nature and civil society. Vio
lence would still occur in the
plausible as the elernallv sanr.
uine among us appear to think
the danger is not something ex
clusively conjured up in the
passionate anti-Russian recess
es of Dr. Edward Teller's com
plicated mind. There IS a pos
sibility, however remote, that
the Soviet Union might find, in
advance of this country, a work
able anti-missile system. There
IS a real possibility that many
of our best weapons laboratory
people will drift away, that our
own missiles in their silos will
deteriorate in reliability as the
years pass without atmospheric
testing. There is a strong pos
sibility that for some time to
come, at least, the treaty will
NOT slow down the arms race.
There is a strong possibility
that the treaty will NOT de
crease the military tensions be-

United Nations' Role
Continues to Widen;
Critics Still Vocal
By RICHARD SPONG
The United Nations, as Sec
retary Gen. U Thant once re
marked, is a "large and con
spicuous figure at which things
can be thrown with impunity."
The world forum is an open
target for the isolationists of
every country. Often as not it
is also being pelted simultane
ously by those who thing it
should be doing something it is
incapable of.
The lastest voice to come to
the defense of the United Na
tions is that of "The Economist"
of London. The British press has
been extremely critical of the
U. N. mission in Yemen. For
example Viscount Camrose's
"Daily Telegraph" snappishly
commented recently: "If U
Thant would next turn his at
tention to finding out what the
unfortunate people of Yemen
want, he could earn back some
forfeited respect." On the same
day "The Guardian," whose po
litical complexion is consider
ably more rubescent, also was
berating the U. N. observer
team for failing to end the
fighting in Yemen.
But as "The Economist"
pointed out, that U. N. mission,
whose 200 members were sup
plied mainly by Canada and
"warless world" which Millis
envisages, but in the form of
revolutions, popular demonstra
tions, and guerrilla warfare
the acts of small groups not
the world - destructive con
flicts of the nations. Such vio
lence would be limited by gen
eral disarmament and demili
tarization, and offset by "a
slowly growing corpus of law
and pacified customs," leading
to a world government in the
future.

early in July solely to verify
the "disengagement" from the
civil war that Egypt and Saudi
Arabia had agreed to carry out.
And the journal comments: "It
is ... an odd reaction to blame
the observers for failing to ac

there was never any question
of their being in a position to
force either party's hand."
In its scant 18 years of ex
istance, the United Nations has
developed, by a process of ad
ventitious growth, a great many
more functions than its founders
could have contemplated. It has
never become the sort of world
parliament that some of its
critics feared it might. Its orig

meeting - place, sounding-board,
tension - easer, whatever image
one likes remains its essent

But its corridors and lounges
and committee rooms have
proved at least as useful as its
rostrum. Xcxing world prob

have been solved in informal
talks at U. N. headquarters.

created much of its financial
