They're Not Crooks
Are state officials legislators, executives
administrators and educators crooks, or fools
or both?
The Albany Democrat-Herald, in an editoria
entitled "State Officials
to say :
"Judging from accusations, written and vocal, against
state officials, educators and labor union leaders for telling
the people the facts of life regarding the 1963 income tax
law, we may all be forced to learn the hard way.
"In substance, spokesmen pleading for approval of the
law, which will face the voters at a special state election
Oct. 15, are trying to point out that if the law is rejected
the state will be required either to cut $60 million from its
1963-65 biennial budget and thus forego or diminish many
state services, or find other sources of revenue. . . .
"The governor, state legislators and others who are
trying to point out the consequences of a majority "No"
vote on the new income (ax law are all familiar with the
slate's budgetary needs. They have studied the budget and
the beleaguered law thoroughly, which it is apparent many,
if not most, of their critics have not. None have come up
with any constructive or practical proposals tor lopping off
$60 million from the $404,256,292 biennial budget, which the
legislature itself had severely pruned before adopting
it "
1XITH almost all predictions indicating the
" defeat of the tax measure, it takes a consid
erable amount of political courage for an office
holder to come out in favor of it particularly
in the case of Gov. Mark Hatfield, who didn't
like the bill the legislature passed, and let it be
come law without his signature.
But he. more than most, knows the dire con
sequences to the state should the bill be defeated,
and he's laying his political future on the line
in defending it.
The same applies to
ture, who voted for the new law as the best
possible compromise available under the circum
stances.
And we agree with the
says, "Meanwhile let's not brand all supporters
of the new law as crooks." E.A.
Tax Facts
There are some facts of life that voters would
be well advised to keep in mind when deciding
how to vote Oct. 15.
Item : Oregon taxpayers pay LESS in total per
capita taxes than taxpayers of either Washington
or California.
Item: It is a relatively high-service state, but
not as much so as either neighboring state. Both
Washington and California have higher old age
assistance and aid to dependent children pay
ments (although Oregon pays more than the
national average) ; both pay their school teachers
and public officials more.
Item : The tax increase is not $60 million, but
$48 million, although if the tax law is defeated
$60 million will have to be cut from the budget or
other sources of revenue found. This apparent
discrepancy is explained by the fact that $12
million of the $60 million budget increase was to
have been paid for by stepped up withholding of
taxes for this biennium only or, in effect, bor
rowing from the ensuing biennium.
ITEM: One of the state's biggest money spend
ova iY a t-I Jn'K.if n t Onio pf man i ia nri n f fantaA
-l bill, illll CIJ J- ,
in any tax cut, for it
gasoline taxes and federal matching funds, which
can be spent only for highway purposes. The Fish
and Game commissions also operate from dedi
cated funds, raised outside the general tax struc
ture. The same is true of the Unemployment and
Industrial Accident trust
Item: A glance at the
pearing on this page reveals that more than half
of the general fund budget goes for education
in colleges and universities, at the blind and deaf
schools, the medical and
through the basic school
school districts, for elementary, junior high and
high schools, and for community colleges. Any
substantial budget cut will hurt education, simply
because it is so large a part of the budget.
Item: The 1963 income tax increase was the
first such increase in eight years years when the
population was growing, schools were overflow
ing with additional youngsters, and the demands
upon the state for new or additional services
were rising.
ITEM : In every postwar biennium until this year
there has been a healthy surplus of money.
This year it was all gone.
Item : This biennium's budget is not a fat or
extravagant one. It was
ment of finance and administration before it
went to the legislature. It suffered additional
paring there before approval a paring which in
some eyes did violence to
Hem: While the new
whole-hearted approval of almost no one, it is
not really as bad as has been depicted, and has
many features which are improvements.
Item: Defeat of the tax law will inevitably
bring higher local property taxes. The only alter
native would be other state revenues such as a
sales tax (mighty unlikely), or drastic cuts in
school programs, such as double shifting, over
crowded buildings, elimination of bus transpor
tation, the use of warrants to pay teachers, or
whatever other cuts would have to be made.
HM1E items listed above are facts' not hearsay,
not gossip, not idle chatter or wishful thinking
but facts, readily ascertainable by anyone.
These are the facts which must be kept in
mind by voters on Oct. 15.
They all point in one direction only, namely,
that Oregon voters are going to have to live lip
to their responsibilities, or condemn the state to
fiscal uncertainties ,?nd probable chaos. E.A.

Titles
To the Editor: Re M r s.
George Guthrie's letter Sept. 19:
The Bible is very explicit con
cerning titles; especially so in
the title mentioned in her let
ter, she assuming that Mr. Al
len was in error in his form of
address to a Catholic teacher.
"Call no man father upon the
earth; for one is your father,
which is in heaven." Matt. 23.9.
The Protestant church is
equally guilty for the infringe
ment of God's prerogative con
cerning title, and permit their
ministry to be addressed as
"Reverend." This title is used
but once in the entire Bible, and
has reference to our Creator,
God.
Let us remember that the
church never has pre-eminence
over the dictates of the Word,
and that sanctification comes by
the Word.
"Sanctify them through thy
truth; thy word is truth."

Eliminate Frills
To the Editor: If the edu
cators of Oregon, who loudly
proclaim the necessity of addi
tional taxes were as dedicated
to the education of our children
as they profess they would
make an effort to provide a cur
riculum commensurate with the
local economy.
The following suggestions
could be guide lines for them
to follow.
Voluntarily cut back the sal
aries of those educators receiv
ing over $10,000 yearly.
Eliminate the variety of class
es not essential to basic educa
tion (and there are many).
Cut back on the transporta
tion, lodging, etc., of groups,
such as basketball, choral,
band, football, traveling around
and out of the state.
Eliminate the many activities
sponsored by the schools to "fill
in the students spare time."
Reduce pUysical education
classes to its original intent of
physical fitness and eliminate
the entertaining frills that are
sponsored under the guise of
"P.E."
If the educators would step
down from Cloud 9 and make
use of taxpayers' money in a
sensible manner the people will
b more willing to listen when
they cry "wolf."

Without Parallel
To the Editor: In reply to a
letter written by Mr. Perry, per
mit me to say that Matthew
23:9 reads thus, "And call no
man father upon the earth: (or
one is your Father in heaven."
In the Tribune it read. "For no
one is your Father in heaven."
This was no doubt a mistake.
I might add what a blessed
privilege it is that we do have
a heavenly Father who numbers
the very hairs of our heads and
loves us with an everlasting
love. Such love is without par
allel. It is a theme for the most
profound meditation! The
matchless love of God for a
world that did not love Him!
The thought has a subduing
power upon the soul and brines
the mind into rantiviiv fn ihp

and justice, and more clearly
we discern innumerable evi
dences of a love that is infinite

ftl 1963. The
PURIFYING THE 1
MOON PROJECT
The President has made his
suggestion of collaboration in
going to the moon at a time
when there is
some improve
m e n t in the
USSR-USA rela
tions. It hap
pens also to be
T7 I a time when
V sSI there is a grow
ing doubt among
American sci-
Lippntann enlists ana
among the people generally
about the commitment to put an
American man on the moon by
the year 1970.
The President's proposal at
the United Nations is excellent,
it seems to me, even if the joint
effort proves to be technically
and politically impracticable. It
is excellent because it may of
fer an honorable way to correct
the mistakes of our original
commitments about going to the
moon.
There were two big mistakes.
One was the commitment to put
a man, a living person rather
than instruments, on the moon.
The other mistake was to set a
deadline 1970 when the
man was to land on the moon.
rpHESE two mistakes have
- transiormea wnai is an im
mensely fascinating scientific
experiment into a morbid and
vulgar stunt. The use of living
men rather than instruments has
given a gruesome color to the
whole enterprise which is akin
to that of the circus performer
who shoots a flower out of his
daughter's mouth. For this is
showmanship and not science
and it contaminates the whole
affair. We shall be back in the
realm of honest science when
we proclaim as our objective
the landing and orbiting of in
strumcnts which can send back
exact data.
The setting of 1970 as a target
date turned the enterprise into
a race in which the objective is
not to explore the heavens, but
to be one up on the Russians. By
fixing a date, by making it a
race, we are not only prostitu
ting the nature of the scientific
effort, but arc distorting it.
We have multiplied the cost
many times, and, what is even
more damaging to our society
we are straining beyond the
proper limits our relatively
small supply of scientists and
technicians. Not since the pha-
raohs built the pyramids has a
societv devoted such gigantic
sums to a purpose which has
almost nothing to do with its
securitv or its welfare.
AND YET, the exploration of
space will bring a new un
derstanding of the universe and
of life, and this is a noble end
for which to work. But all this
will be done best all this, it
may be, can be done only if
the impulses of the project are
purified, if they are cleansed of
showmanship, chauvinism and
morbid commercialism. Opening
up the heavens is too big an en
terprise to be mixed with con
cern about which nation gets the
first headlines and the biggest
ones.
As I see it, the best way to
purify the moon project is to
do what the President has sug
gested, to work out with the So-
j Met Union at least a common
program with growing exchange
' of scientific data and increasing
i consultation.

TASTE AND JUDGMENT
A friend of mine who happens
to be a trustee of his college in
vited me to attend the "home
comine" f o o t-
ball game with
hp. t.: t i:j
fl mm. i leuueu
s I n a r nnn r
understand
p ,v toot nan ana
A tnat a n i g n
Jl school game
- looks as good
(or bad) to me
as a Rose Bowl
Harris c h ampionship.
He snorted derisively. "That's
a silly statement," he said. "A
little experience and close ob
servation would give you the
fine points of the game. Let me
tell you, football is quite an art
and nobody who really knows
the game could mistake a great
team for a poor one."
He is right, of course. But
what surprises me about men
like him is their unwillingness
to apply the same objective
standards to other fields, in
which they have little or no
knowledge.
He would defend his liking
for bad music instead of good
as 'merely a matter of taste."
He would defend his attend
ance at ill-matte plays as
"One man's opinion," and call
me a cultural dictator for In
sisting that only knowledge
gives us a right to hold an
opinion.
When the situation is re
versed, however, he has no
doubt that his evaluation of
football teams Is better than
mine as, indeed, it Is. He has
studied the game, knows its
fine points, and appreciates
things I do not even see on
the lield.
Then w hy do so many people
have a terrible defensiveness
about the arts? Painting, mu
sic, drama, literature these
are all crafts, like football
and baseball and sailing. They
have their rules, their stand
ards, their form.
If it is a matter or fact that
Notre Dame's football is bet
ter than that of Siwash Gulch
High school, It Is equally a
fact that Beethoven's music Is
belter than Grieg's and Picas
so's paintings better than
Grandma Moses'. To become
an expert in music or painting
Is merely to learn the reason
why.
In some things, of course,
there is no disputing taste. If
I like chocolate ice cream and
red-headed women, and you like
vanilla ice cream and dark
haired women, there is no "bet
ter" or "worse."
But all the arcs and crafts,
from football to music, have
their own levels of value. We
can make objective judgments,
in a broad sense. We cannot say
Beethoven is "better" than Mo
zart, but we can say that either
of them is better than Humpcr
dinck just as Notre Dame and
Northwestern may be roughly
equal, but either is better than
Siwash.
Most people, of course, defend
"personal taste" in the arts be
cause it permits them to be lazy
and ignorant without losing
face. But they are the same peo
ple w ho look upon me w ith great
contempt because 1 can't see
the plain fact that one team is
infinitely superior to anothe.
Border Dispute New
Factor in Russia's
Clash With China
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign News Analyst
One hundred years and more
ago when European powers bus
ily were carving up Imperial
China, Czarist
Russia was
taking its
share. Maps
p u b 1 ished by
the Red Chin
ese since they
took over the
main land in
1949 show that
i r
0
,. they do not rec
ognize these
conquests and intend to get
them back.
And so to India has been add
ed the Soviet Union as a na
tion having a border dispute
with Communist China, and to
the ideological quarrel between
the two Communist giants has
been added a new and, poten
tially, even more explosive
issue.
For outsiders attempting to
assess the depth, probable dur
ation and cause of the quarrel,
the latest turn taking up space
in Moscow and Peking news
papers and in the propaganda
airwaves has given new food
for thought.
Last week end the Soviet gov
ernment charged the Chinese
with 5.000 border violations in
1962. The Soviets said the Chin
ese had attempted to reclaim is
olated parts of Soviet territory
"without preliminary permis
sion." Specifically, it cited the case
of a fisherman on the Amur Ri
ver which separates Siberia
from Manchuria. It said docu
ments taken from the fisherman
demanded that fishermen tell
Soviet border guards that river
islands belong to China.
It said that Russian attempts
to negotiate border disputes had
been ignored by Red China, and
American Principals
Need Sprucing Up
By Arthur Hoppe
Somebody hold my natural
shoulder coat. Stand back while
I loosen my button-down collar.
I'm fighting mad. Why, I de
mand to know, can't our
school principals dress like me?
It's the gravest question our
educational system faces. Hard
ly a day goes by that some prin
cipal somewhere doesn't send
a child home for wearing his
hair too long or her hair too
high. In addition to being anti
hair, our principals refuse to
educate young ladies who are
too long on the lipstick or too
short in the skirts.
And the other day the presi
dent of San Francisco City Col
lege, acting in the name of
decency, ordered a female stu
dent to remove her trousers.
Subsequent to going home, I
should add, and prior to putting
on a dress.
So everywhere school princi
pals have become the arbiters
of juvenile fashion. And stu
dents have to dress the way
principals like. If they want a
free, public education, they do.
Great. But I say if we're goinig
to raise our children to look
like school principals, we should
first examine our principals.
Look at their padded should
ers! Look at their droopy dress
es! Is this, I ask you, the Amer
ican dream?
The fault obviously lies in the
hiring policies of our school
boards. And the traditional in
terview must be drastically al
tered before it's too late. Like:

from this India's Jawaharlat
Nehru could draw a wry smile.
Two weeks earlier, the Red
Chinese has accused Russia of
luring tens of thousands of Mon
gol nomads across the border of
Sinkiang Province into the Sov
iet Union and of trying to en
gineer an anti-Chinese coup in
the region.
Both areas, Sinkiang and the
Amur and Ussuri Rivers bor
ers with Siberia, are historic
scenes of conflict between ths
Russians and the Chinese.
Sinkiang, China's largest pro
vince, far back beyond the days
of Marco Polo, has been a high
way of civilization. An ancient
silk route linked it with India.
It is marked by extremes of hot
and cold, ferocious winds, moun
tains, green forests and pastur
es and rivers that end in salt
marshes and arid deserts. And
while it belongs to China, it bor
ders on the Soviet Union and
its communications and trade
traditionally look toward tha
U. S. S. R.
In recent years, the Chinesa
have poured hundreds of thou
sands of soldier-farmers into tha
area, in a counter move to
Khrushchev's haste to open up
the Soviet Union's western vir
gin lands.
As for the Amur and Ussuri
River areas, Sino-Russian con
flict there goes back 300 years
when the Chinese first tried to
hold back Russian explorers
and settlers.
The Soviets have warned tha
Chinese against trying to bring
up old quarrels in a new era.
But as Chinese confidenca
grows so apparently do Chinesa
ambitions. The root of the Soviet-Chinese
quarrel may be a
challenge for leadership in tha
Communist world. But the re
sults of the quarrel could go far
beyond either Khrushchev or
Mao Tse-tung.

Q: Excellent, Doctor. Now
just a few questions concerning
your educational theories. What
do you think of argyle scoks?
A: I believe in argyle socks,
gentlemen, but only at football
rallies. And perhaps at class
picnics.
Q: Good. And striped shirts'
A: Frankly, I would favor
subdued stripes for the more
mature student, but only for
daytime wear. White, of course,
would be de rigour for night
school.
Q: And double-breasted suits?
A: I would suggest remedial
classes rather than outright ex
pulsion for students who cling
to such garments. For I feel that
many of these handicapped
children can be saved for so
ciety. .
Q: Grand, Doctor. You're just
the man we're looking for to
mold the wardrobes of our littla
children and . . . Hold it! I
see your jacket is double-vented
in the back! I'm afraid, Doc
tor, that we want no radical
progressivists like you at P.S.
81. Next!
Of course, under this system,
our children would still be forc
ed to conform to the principal's
taste in dress. And they'd still
grow up all looking alike. But
at least their taste would be
impeccable. Because it would
, be mine,
mine.
j The only alternative is tft
: agree that what I wear is my
business, what you wear is your
l business, what our principals
wear is their business, and
what our children wear is their
parents' business. I'm sure
we'd all shine in our own eyes.
Because I've discovered the
oddest thing: each of us has
impeccable taste. It's the other
fellow who hasn't got any.
