Why aYes" Vote
By ARTHUR S. LEMMING
President of the University of Oregon
I believe that a substantial majority of the
voters of Oregon will vote "Yes" on Ballot Meas
ure No. 1 on October 15.
Here are my reasons:
1. Those who vole "yes" on October 15 will
be voting against an increase in property taxes.
There is no question but that a rejection of
the tax program approved by the Legislature at
its last session will sooner or later make it neces
sary for the Legislature to reduce basic school
support. Voters in local school districts are not
going to permit their children to receive an in
ferior education in our public elementary and
secondary schools. Therefore they would vote to
replace basic school support revenues with rev
enues from increased property taxes. The prop
erty owner is already carrying a disproportionate
share of the tax burden. Voters do not want to
add to that burden. They are concerned espe
cially about adding to the tax burdens of our
senior citizens who own their own homes. There
fore, I believe that in order to avoid the necessity
of increasing property taxes many of our iellow
citizens will vote to approve the Legislature's tax
program.
2. Those who vote "yes" on October 15 will
be voting for a program that will in the long run
reduce the number of persons on our welfare
rolls.
The Legislature, acting on the recommenda
tion of Governor Hatfield, has provided for a
program of rehabilitation in the welfare field.
This is the only way to cut down the number of
persons on welfare rolls. Rejection of the Legis
lature's tax program would throw a roadblock
in the way of this forward-looking program.
3. Those who vote "yes" on October 15 will
be voting against the imposition of arbitrary en
rollment ceilings in our public colleges and universities.
The Board of Higher Education hag made it
clear that it is going to maintain quality in our
public colleges and universities. It has stated that
if the Legislatures tax program is defeated it
believes it will be necessary to limit enrollment
in 15)M-ho to the l!Jh,i-fa4 levels thus denying
admission to about three thousand students who
otherwise would be admitted. This means that1
some C students would be denied admission. Our
State and our Nation will find it impossible to
solve their manpower problems if we do not give
the C student the opportunity of achieving his
highest potential.
4. Those who vnle "van" on Orfohir IS will! '"at far, but Im opposed to
b,- . r r in i oc I ,ne theory. I'd like to see some
e voting against an increase of from 30 to 35!olner suggestions made in the
per cent in tuition charges at our public colleges whole field." Like every other
and universities.
Again the Board of Higher Education has
made it clear that, in order to maintain quality,
it will be necessary to increase tuition sharply,
if the Legislature's tax program is defeated. I
recognize that in the years that lie just ahead it
may be necessary for the Board of Higher Educa
tion to make slight increases in tuition in order,
for example, to enable us to compete successfully
for superior teachers. An increase of from ;.0 to
'iio per cent in tuition, however, would destroy
the foundation on which higher education rests.
It would deny admission to our public colleges
and universities to highly qualified students be
cause they did not have the necessary funds.
This would be unfair to them. It would also, how
ever, be unfair to the Nation. We need their high
est potential. And yet failure to approve the Leg
islature's program would make such action neces
sary it those who do attend our colleges and uni

Elections in England were aj
costly and corrupt business wen
into the 19th century. The votes
of the electorate were bought
and sold openly. The average
cost of a seat in Parliament in
1812 was 5000 pounds. And a
few years earlier in a hotly con
tested contest, the total costs of
the three candidates amounted
to 250,000 pounds.
As for the United States, the

Whv? Because Senator Gold-

mental facts. The great major-1
ity of Americans are not on the I
extremes, but in the center, !
and that is why every serious
candidate must adapt himself
to the moderation of the
center. I
This peculiar condition is the
of the genius of the
American political system. It
forces the people into a consen
sus even though they are (ii
cided. I would say that this is
the inner mechanism which
has enabled the American na
tion to do what has not been
done elsewhere at any time
to preserve personal liberty
under Democratic government
on a continental scale. There,
was one terrible exception!
when the svstem broke down :
composed of noblemen, also
took bribes. And Thucydidcs
records that the Spartan gen
erals and admirals took bribes
to betray the interests of their
own country.
Aristotle held that covetous
ness and public service do not
go together, and advised that
communities should take the
profit out of public office. To
insure that public funds be
handled honestly, he advised
that "the transfer of the revenue
should be made at a general as
sembly of the citizens, and the
duplicates of the accounts de
posited with various commu
nity groups. Moreover, he said,
special honors should be be
stowed on conspicuously incor
tuptible officeholders.

England under the Tudors. A

IN THE GIA LONG PALACE
SAIGON In the Gia Long
palace, President Ngo Dinh
Diem's brother, the all-power
ful State coun
cillor, Ngo Dinh
Nhu, inhabits a
long, high room
full of books
and mementoes,
with a view
over the gar
dens. It used to
be an interest
ing, and even
on occasion an
encouraging, place to spend an
hour or two in talk. Whatever
his other failings, Ngo Dinh Nhu
is an exceedingly intelligent
man with an original turn of
mind. Here, for instance, this
reporter first heard about the
strategic hamlet program, which
gives the best hope of winning
the civil war against the Com
munists. In large measure, the
idea was Nhu's.
But go today to this nerve
center of President Diem's gov
ernment, and you will come
away with a very different im
pression. Something of the at
mosphere was suggested by the
last report in this space, de
scribing the French intrigue to
defeat American policy in Viet
Nam quite largely in Ngo Dinh
Nhu s own words. Yet even this
strange story, with all its mc-
phitic overtones, docs not con
vey the full ripe flavor.
T IKE a good many other clev-
cr men, Nhu has never been
without vanity. It goes beyond
normal vanity, huwever, when
a man at one moment speaks
of himself as the "unique spine"
of the anti-Communist struggle
in Viet Nam; at the next mo
ment remarks that he is "the
only serious modern theorist of
guerrilla war,' and then adds:
"Even if you Americans pull
out," I will still win the war
here "at the head of the great
guerrilla movement which I
have prepared."
It goes beyond normal vanity,
too, when a man proclaims that
"no one in this country has any
ideas except me my brother
only knows how to say 'no' and
no one else knows anything at
all." Yet this is how Ngo Dinh
Nhu now talks.
TvTOR is that all. He bitterly
declares that he is "the
lightning rod for my brother's
mistakes; all are his, yet are
blamed on me." He warns that
if he bows to "American pres
sures" and retires from the
scene even for a few months,
"the whole strategic hamlet
program will collapse, for I

sored overture from the North
Vietnamese Communists, be
cause he does not think that
Diem would handle the problem
wisely enough.
Hearing all this, you say to
yourself that this man, who all
but announces that he is now
the real master of the Vietna

lost touch with any kind of hu
man or political reality beyond
the bounds of his own tortured

ous rooms of the Gia Long
palace's upper floors, where
President Diem receives his
visitors.
Here, too, it used to be pleas
ant to go. Ngo Dinh Diem, it
must be remembered, is a man
of admirable determination and
courage, who saved his people
almost single-handedly from tha
grim Communist takeover that
everyone regarded as quite in
evitable back in 1954. To bo
sure, he has always had a way
of complaining about his Ameri
can allies. But in the earlier
days, when the U.S. presence
here was both inadequate and
all too often woolly-minded, the
complaints were frequently jus
tified. "OW, however, what you hear
' is something else again. Ona
instant, the Buddhist crisis is
attributed to a well-laid plot of
the Communists. And almost in
the next breath, the whole ugly
business is laid to "the machi
nations" of the U.S. Information
Service.
At one moment, the course of
the war is being quite rationally
and sensibly discussed. But at
the next moment, the danger
that the vaporings of Madamo
Ngo Dinh Nhu and such-like goings-on
will turn Congress shan
ty against the Vietnamese r d
program is being furiously dis
missed as "a mere straw,
whereas the beam that weighs
heaw on us is the plotting of
the USIS."
Here, in sum, is another man
who has taken leave of reality,
no doubt because his naturnl
tendency to be suspicious has
been daily played upon by his
brother. And right here, rather
than in the "plots of the CIA.
is the explanation of the wide
spread expectation of a coup
d'etat that now prevails in Sai
gon. There are countless Vietna
mese who are still determined
not to be the victims of a Com
munist takeover, whether by
courtesy of the French, or wilh
the help of the growing faction
of American appeasers, or in
any other way. Yet a success n
the struggle against the Commu
nists can hardly be expected
when the leaders of that strug
gle have taken leave of reality.
So there are likely to be changes
here.
