The following paragraph, from an editorial
column in the Ashland Daily Tidings, is herewith
nominated for one of the most asinine of the cur
rent season :
"They" (they voters) "also know that the legislature can
pass a sales and cigarette tax in a single day if they so
choose and the present budget can then be met with money
lo spare."
They (the voters) don't know anything of the
kind, and the editorial columnist knows it. Or if
he doesn't he owes it to himself and his readers
to find out.
FIRST, there always has been strong sentiment
r against a sales tax in Oregon, and there
still is. If certain indications are valid, that
sentiment is begining to shift toward one, but the
outcome is highly uncertain. The same is true of
a cigarette tax.
The legislature (the same one that met earlier
this vear and resoundingly rejected a sales tax)
is little more apt to adopt one in November than
it was in May or June. It is much more apt to
cut state appropriations to the bone.
Even if it does adopt a sales tax in a single
day" (hah!!) it could not go into effect until 90
days thereafter in January at the earliest, and
probably later even if it isn't referred.
A ND IT IS almost a certainty that a sales lax
" andor cigarette tax would be referred.
There are too many vested and organized inter
ests opposed to this form of taxation for it to get
by unscathed.
Then it could not be voterl upon until May, at
the earliest, and probably November, 1964. By
that time the biennium would be almost over,
and the state would be in the poor house.
And even assuming, as our naive editor friend
does, that the legislature passed a sales and cig
arette tax "in a single day (hah) and it is not re
ferred, it would become effective in January or
February, with the b 1 e n n 1 e m more than one-
quarter gone, and the revenue which could have
been derived in that period gone forever. (We've
already lost V2 months' potential revenue simply
because of the referral, to say nothing ot the
$275,000 or $300,000 the election will cost.)
WE SUGGEST that the Ashland editor, in
stead of dreaming wild and irresponsible
dreams about cutting taxes and then having
things go on as before, consider instead how
many of his subscribers are Southern Oregin Col
lege faculty members, how many are school
teachers, and how many of them support his ad
vertisers and the economy of Ashland.
We suggest he read the Oregon Constitution,
which requires the state to live within its income,
and think what will happen when higher ecluca
ton, welfare and school district budgets are pared
to below subsistence levels, as they will have to be
if the tax measure fails.
Thinirs mirrht not be as bad as painted if the
tax bill fails. But you can bet your bottom dollar
that some old folk will go hungry, some faculty
members will be fired (or leave), some school
teachers will go on warrants (or leave), and that
the state will sink into a slough of fiscal and edu
cational despond from which it will not soon re
cover.

RACIAL SUPERIORITY
Dear Dr. Adler: There are
people in this world who be
lieve that one race of man is
superior to all other races.
How have the great minds in
history felt about the superi
ority of races?

WHAT HAVE WE" AGREED
TO?
So that we shall not expect
too mucn or value too little tne
partial test ban treaty, we must,
I believe, ask
why this agree
ment, which
has been sug
gested so often
before, became
at last feasible.
What has been
the p r i m a r y
reason? Not the
pollution of the
air bv fallout.
The danger of that has been
known for years. Not the Soviet
quarrel with Rod China. For
while that could conceivably ex
plain why Moscow became will
ing to agree with us, it does not
explain why Washington became
willing to agree with Moscow.
Not a sudden realization after
the confrontation on Cuba that
war must be avoided, though it
is true that what it was like to
stand nn the brink has not been
forgotten in Moscow and in
Washington.
These and many other reasons
have, no doubt, played a contrib
uting part in the decision on
both sides to sign the partial lest
Dan treaty.
UT the primary reason has
' been, I submit, that a pre
ponderant scientific opinion has
developed on both sides that con
tinued testing in the atmosphere
could almost certainly NOT
produce a decisive breakthrough
in the nuclear race. There is a
dissenting minority, led bv Dr.
Teller in this country and re
flected in the negative votes in
the Senate, which continues to
believe that a breakthrough can
be made if enough atmospheric
tests are conducted. And there
is reason to believe that in the

.. . T .I. i 'pm . . there are Russian counterparts

defeated.
There are, undoubtedly, some people who
couldn't care less.
But it seems to us that those who have a care
for the young people we are committed to edu
cate, for the elderly poor, for the integrity of 'our
state and our state's institutions, must, willy-nilly,
vote to tax ourselves a bit more to prevent this
from happening.
Only by doing so can we avoid a period long
or short of fiscal chaos, governmental disarray,
educational slippage, and human deprivation.

When the Dionne Quintuplets were borne, wc ; if there were anv real chance
ernments, having heard the Tell
er case argued by scientists,
have rejected it, and that is the
decisive reason why they nego
tiated this treaty.
To be sure, our responsible of
ficials have been careful not to
go on record publicly that a
breakthrough to an anti-missile
missile is virtually impossible.
But they could not have sup
ported the test ban had they not
lions. But what has happened in
very recent times is that the
vital issues between the Soviet
Union and the Atlantic commun
itywhich arise chiefly from the
partition of Europe, the partition
of Germany, and the partition of
Berlin are being defused.
rpHAT is to say, neither side is
- expecting to settle the issues
by nuclear weapons. That is a
great deal better than if they
expected these issues to be such
that they could be solved only
by nuclear weapons.
By dealing with the peripheral
issues Antarctica, atmospheric
tests, going to the moon it will
not become harder, and it may
become easier, to deal with the
vital central issues. Just this
week, the Secretary General of
the Gaullist party in France told
the Council of Europe meeting
in Strasbourg that "Europe must
be careful not to become the vic
tim of this closeness" between
the United States and the Soviet
Union. Monsieur Raumel need
not worry too much about that
closeness. He is having a night
mare induced by reading ton
much European history and too
little American history when he
imagines Khrushchev and Ken
nedy sitting down to impose a
settlement on Europe.
Even if we wanted lo make a
deal behind llie backs of our
German and French allies, we
could not make one. We have
many faults, heaven only knows,
but how to play Machiavelli or
Talleyrand or Richlieu is not in
the American educational curriculum.
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Dear Miss Hersey: "Race"
was originally a biological term.
It referred to the varieties of
an animal species; for instance,
different kinds of dogs. As ap
plied to man, it took account of
the typical differences in physi
cal characteristics skin color,
hair texture, skull shape, facial
features, and bodily stature
which are to be found in various
groups occupying different geo
graphical regions.
Many thinkers, however, have
doubted that the term "race"
can be applied as properly to
human beings as it is to dogs,
pigeons, and other animals.
They have questioned whether
the races of mankind are sharp
ly separated types, originating
in different pure stocks, or are
instead mixed groups which
fade into one another, rather
than are sharply delimited.
Most anthropologists have held
that men share a basic structure
and set of characteristics, and
a common origin in a primeval
human couple.
Darwin expressed this view in
his "Descent of Man" almost a
century ago: "Although the ex
isting races of man differ in
many respects ... yet if their
whole structure be taken into
consideration, they are found
to resemble each other closely
in a multitude of points ... It
is extremely improbable that
they should have been indepen
dently acquired by oboriginally
distinct species or races. The
same remark holds good with
equal or greater force with re
spect to the numerous points ot
mental similarity belween the
most distinct races of man."
Similarly, many great human
ists of the 17th and IRth cen
turies stressed the unity of the
human species and decried all
invidious implications ot superi
ority or inferiority among the
various physical and geograph
ical divisions of mankind. Her
der, for instance, denied that
there are various races of men
with different origins "exclu
sive varieties." And Leibnitz
and the van Humboldt brothers
insisted that all men belong to
"THE human race."
However, many writers in the
past century have espoused the
view that there are inferior and
superior races of men. They
have contended that certain ra-

we were considering selling tn
the Russians, it would be dif
ferent. They would shoot the bombs
back at us.
But it isn't bombs we're talk
ing about.
It's WHEAT.

cial strains white, Nordic,
Aryan, Anglo-Saxon, Teutonic,
or the like are by nature su
perior to other ethnic groups,
and hence should rule them. The
most famous and influential of
the works produced by this
school of thought was Gohin
eau's "Essay on the Inequality
of the Human Races", which
was published in the 1850's.
The theories about human ori
gins recently propounded by the
eminent anthropologist Carlton
Coon, seem to give support to
those who assert innate racial
distinctions among men. Coon
believes that the present day
races of man originated inde
pendently of one another from
a common subhuman stock,
which had spread lo various
parts of the globe. "The races
of man are as old as man him
self," says Coon, in contrast
with the conventional theory
that the races originated from
a common human ancestor at
a comparatively late period.
Coon asserts that there are
important physico-chemical dif
ferences between the races
for instance, adaptation to heat,
cold, and altitude, and immun
ity to diseases which he as
cribes to natural selection opera
ting in differing climatic condi
tions. He also ascribes compara
tive advancement in cultural rte-
velopment among the races to
the occupation of favorable geo
graphical regions at the time of
uieir emergence.
ccuraing 10 uoon, some
races reached the fully human
stage of Homo sapiens much
later than others. However, he
ascribes this later emergence lo
va.y.ug environmental condl
tions, not to innate inferiority
indeed, he asserts that the
groups which evolved later are
now challenging the formerly
more successful groups through
their use of modern technology
and communications. In spite of
his emphasis on racial distinc
tions, then. Coon is not neces
sarily opposed to the humanists
in their assertion of the equal
cultural potentials of all the peo
ples of the earth.

Down With Twaddle-Think
Hong Kong The needless po
litical bad patch encountered in
South Viet Nam and the excit
able American reaction to it are
both rendered extr xasporat-
ing by another
highly import
ant set of acts.
In brief, al
though less is
known about
North Viet Nam
than almost
any other coun
try in the Com
munist bloc, it
AiiitD is now quite
certain that the condition of
North Viet Nam is downright
desperate.
Prof. P. J. Honey, the En
glishman who is literally the
only serious authority on Viet
Nam with no French or other
axe to grind, compares the pres
ent situation in the north "to
the worst moment in China
after the disaster of the great
leap forward." That was the
moment, of course, when Com
munist China came periously
close to internal collapse, as
was proven by the breakdown
of discipline when the Hong
kong border was opened.
nROF. HONEY, whose infor-
mation has been authorita
tively confirmed here in Hong
kong, describes the North Viet
namese masses as living on or
below the brink of starvation
outside the two show towns of
Hanoi and Haiphong. Cloth is
so short that the peasant women
work the fields in breech clouts
a real horror tn the Viet
namese. And deaths from sim
ple hunger are reported from
the villages.
None of this is particularly
surprising. North Viet Nam nev
er had enough food lo support
its population, even without the
huge additional burden of a
large Communist army and
bureaucracy. The Communists
are so eager to get the rich
south within their grasp pre
cisely because the north is not
viable. The cause of the present
crisis-conditions is quite cer
tainiy the cumulative effect of
this basic non-viability.
One of the more idiotic cliches
of our time is the reason, in
turn, why almost no one but
Prof. Honey and a few profes
sional intelligence - collectors
have paid the smallest atten
tion to the state of North Viet
Nam. The cliche is that, once
the Communists fit their grip
on a nation, that grip can never
be broken. Hungary proved the
contrary for Hungarian Com
munism was restored, after all,
not by Hungarians but by So
viet troops. Let the cliche con
tinues to be parroted.
IF THE position in North Viet
Nam is anywhere nearly as
desperate as it is thought lo
be, by the only persons who
know anything about it, then
this fact should be given much
weight in the American calcu
lations about South Viet Nam.
When you may be nearer to
winning than appears on tha
surface, it is no time to cut
and run. But here again, ths
cliches operate.
In its present state, the gov
ernment of President Ngo Dinh
Diem is neither admirable nor
even dependable, at least with
out radical measures of self
improvement. But the power of
idiotic cliches has helped might
ily to bring the Diem govern
ment to this pass.
The central cliche is that, it
a country like South Viet Nam
receives American aid, then its
government ought to be remod
eled in the image, let us say, of
the government of the state of
Michigan not of course tha
Michigan which has had so
many incompetent, reactionary,
and corrupt state administra
tions, but the new, bright Mi
chigan of good George Romney.
Michigan springs to mind be
cause members of the staff o(
the University of Michigan for
so long played a large and often
ludicrous advisory role in Sai
gon. But this idealistic American
demand for "Asian democracy"
is doomed to be unfulfilled.
Highly educated, highly indus
trialized Japan is a special case.
But Asian countries which havn
not fully emerged into the mod"
em world are even less well pre
pared for democracy than, let
us say, Alabama.
riHE persistent application o
our standards to Asian
leaders, the insistent demand
that Asian leaders perform in
a manner more ideally Ameri
can than many an American
state governor, is not merely
silly in itself. In addition, tha
underlying self-righteousness i9
deeply pernicious. Its pressure
warps and cripples Asian lead
ers who might otherwise per
form quite respectably, as in
the case of President Diem.
Worse still, American policy it
self is also warped and crip
pled by the same pressure.
About an Asian government,
in short, it is a clear sign of
twaddle-think lo ask most of
the questions that are usually
asked at home. About such a
government, only three ques
tions need to be asked. Docs it
work? Docs it serve American
interests? And is it not belter,
with all its faults, than Ihe prob
able alternative which in pres
ent day Asia is quite often a
Communist government like that
in North Viet Nam.
Even today, the Diem gov
ernment is at least far heller
than that in the north. But lha
problem goes beyond Diem.
Look at the facts! Mouth no
more cliches! Down with twaddle-think!
These should be tha
new slogans.
