A Name for the Park
The Medford City Council is to be com
mended for turning down the proposed cemetery
like name for the new park along Bear Creek.
A search is now on for a name with "colorful
and historic connotations."
The best authority on Oregon Geographic
Names is a book by that name, written by the late
Lewis McArthur. About our city, he has this to
say:
"MEDFORD, Jackson County. Richard Koehlcr, a resident
of Oregon for more than half a century and for many years
operating head of Southern Pacific Company lines in this state,
told the compiler that the town of Medford was named by
David Loring who was at the time of construction a civil
engineer connected with the right-of-way operations for the
Oregon and California Rail Road Company. The railroad was
opened to traffic from Grants Pass to Phoenix in 1884. The
name was apparently applied shortly before that date. In
August, 1927, David Loring was living in Portland, and in
conversation with the compiler confirmed Mr. Kochler's
statement. Mr. Loring said that while the form of the name
was suggested by Medford, Massachusetts, he really named
the new community in Oregon because it was situated at the
middle ford on Bear Creek . . . The best authorities seem to
agree that the name of Medford, Mass., comes from the old
English words mead and ford, meaning a ford at a meadow.
Mr. Loring may have had in mind a combination of mede
and ford, in which mede is an obsolete abbreviation for
medium, hence middle."
How about Middle Ford Park?
It is colorful. It has meaning. It has historic
connotations. It is appropriate. And it brings into
the present day the thoughts and intentions of
the man who named Medford some 80 years
ago. E.A.

Those who have been

Educators 'Blackmail'
Many people are criticizing educators for
what the critics call "threats" about what will
happen to Oregon's higher education programs if
the tax bill is defeated.
Those who want to vote against the bill are
bolsterinir their consciences bv a ereat show of
indignation against such
to be against blackmail,
Curiously enough, this same rationalization
was used by some legislators on the ways ana
Means Committee to justify cuts totaling
$650,000 in the Board of
et recommended by the governor. A number or.
ey legislators openly expressed a "we'll show
those egg-heads" attitude.
GOV. Mark Hatfield used no such excuse when
ho crinnnpH S1K R07.1Sn nut. nf the Boad of
Higher Education's request for the 1963-65 bi
ennium. He just maintained that the board didn't
need that money to keep the present level of serv
ice. One might disagree with that, as we do, but it
was a reason with some basis in statistical figures,
not an excuse.
Now. it is nonsense to
"blackmail;" it is un-democratic to deny them
their right to speak; and it is bull-headed and
stupid not to at least listen to what they have
to say.
In the first place, the word "blackmail" hard
ly applies to the statements of people who have
no power to carry through.
hand like every other slate-supported agency,
first to the governor, then to the Legislature, and
finally to the taxpayers for funds to carry out
their programs. The word that applies to what
they are saying about the effects of a tax defeat
is "warnings." This is not just a semantic exer
cise ; it destroys an irrational excuse.
IN the second place, by what right docs anyone
presume to muffle any other person wanting to
speak his mind on a public issue?
And in the third place, it really is ridiculous to
try to avoid listening to the educators. There's a
little sign that sums up this attitude: Don't Con
fuse Me With The Facts; My Mind Is Made Up.
That's funny on an office wall, but not so
funny when it applies to the future of Oregon
education.
Finally, let's consider why the educators are
issuing warnings.
It's quite possible that a few of them are
selfishly looking out for their own bailiwick. But
the majority are professionals whose reason for
existence is to help educate young people.
VOU don't hurt these people much, materially,
by cutting their budgets. They'll still get a
good salary or they'll go somewhere else where
they can. The better they are, the more they're in
demand somewhere el
to leave.
What you do is to prevent thorn from doing
their job as well as they'd like to; but even more,
you deny their students the full advantage of
higher education.
Anyone who puts his own real or imagined
needs ahead of better higher education is free to
do so. But he can't convince us he's doing it in a
noble cause. Capital Press, Salem.

School Quality
To the Editor: In reference
to the letters of Mr. Murray,
Central Point, and Mr. Lee,
Medford, pertaining to educa
tors and education in general,
I feel I have a right as a citizen
in the community to put in an
opinion or two.
It seems tnese two gentlemen
feel that the "rigid" education
of their era was the best educa
tion and that the philosophy of
spare the rod and spoil the
child" is the only way children
are able to learn.
I would question the amount
of education these two gentle
men actually received (not to
mention whether or not they
even enjoyed it). I would ven
ture a guess that present fifth
and sixth graders probably have
more knowledge today (taugnt
by present-day teachers) than
these two gentlemen Knew wnen
they finished high school if
they went that far!

am Quite Irked at individuals
who complain about schools and
teachers when I am certain
these same Individuals have nev
er stepped into a classroom to
observe FIRST HAND the su
perior type of teaching found in
most of the schools of today.
I think school administrators
should send special invitations
to Mr. Murray and Mr. Lee to
attend a school day (of their
choice) to see Just what IS go
ing on in our "modern schools
of today." They will be quite
amazed ... I know I was!

The Mail Tribune, in the ar

others living nearby said that
there were no clouds overhead

A COO of this sort doesn't

A coup can mean almost any
thing in French which, inci

COUP means a blow, a knock,
a stroke. A "coup de dent"

illegal betting in Oregon "pro

treasury for underworld crime
syndicates."
And other disrespectful re
marks to the same general ef
fect. rjiHE Oregonian thinks there's
A something fishy about Con
gressman Fino's figures, and
offers a guess that he never
heard about Portland's Dorothy
McCullough Lee. It then adds:
"There used to be a lot of
ACTION around Portland ... A
big bookie joint (in thoie days)
right next door to a couple of
major banks. Up the street, over
a theater, there was another
one. Undoubtedly, there were
many more. Chinese lotteries
were everywhere, including sev
eral within a block ot the police
station."
"But then." the Oregonian
went on to relate, "the people
ot Portland elected Dorothy Lee
mayor. Now, Mr. Fino, a guy
can't even invest a nickel here
to watch the lights flash on and
off on a pinball game."

Our Next President
Is a True Moderate afVaj
By Arthur Hoppe trA
The Liberals are furious with
Senator Goldwater. And in their
anger they're hurling a pretty
vicious charge at him. The Sen
ator, they say with outrage, is
becoming more like them.
"He has begun his Great Mu
tation," cries the New Republic.
And it says the Senator is no
longer issuing clarion calls to
abolish the income tax and farm
subsidies or crack down on la
bor unions. At most, he's de
manding maybe "a complete
study" of these problems. Which
is a pretty wishy-washy clarion
call.
So the Liberals are accusing
the Senator of forsaking his
principles! (which they can't
abide.) And coming over to
their way of thinkingl (Which
sounds disastrous.) Just because
he wants tn be president!
(Which is true.)
It seems to happen every
four years. The country's lousy
with radical candidates from the
left and right. Yet we always
seem to elect a moderate pres
ident. It's like the case of Dr.

THE INCOME TAX MEASURE
This is one of a series of brief presentations
of some little-known aspects of the income tax
measure on which Oregon voters will decide
at a special election on Oct. 15.
A "yes" vote approves the law; a "no'' vote defeats It,
leaving insufficient revenues for the 1963-65 bzudget. Cuts can
only be made from less than two-thirds of the General Fund
budget: higher education, mental and penal institutions, the
state police, tax commission, welfare and natural resources.
All "cuts" will reduce services, since state salaries cannot be
cut.
QUESTION
I've been told everyone will have to pay at least $5 taxes.
Is this true?
ANSWER
No. Only people having a taxable income over $500 and
filing a return would be subject to the $5 or 1 per cent minimum
tax. Over 84.000 no-tax-due returns are processed now. Many
of these would pay the minimum tax out of refunds.
QUESTION
Why was this provision included?
ANSWER
Income tax controversies are largely a debate over who
pays. Oregon has no sales or cigarette tax. Many people now
pay no tax, leaving the burden on middle income taxpayers
for all state services. For example, the state contributes $572
per year to local school districts for a family with four
children, yet under the old law the family contributed nothing
to state government in income taxes. Under the new law, a
maximum of $30 would be paid. Even a small tax paid by a
great number of people spreads the burden of taxation a
great deal.

hope he gets elected, wrecks the
economy and plunges us all into
World War III. It's the only way
he'll make them happy.
