Before the Oct. 15 wards in letters and other comments, a frequently-heard suggestion was to tax churches and other now exempt property. While religious property has traditionally been tax exempt in this country, increasingly in recent years more and more people are beginning to question the propriety of this. Ana the ques tioning is not limited to non-church-goers, either, One of the most outspoken proponents of taxing church property is the Blake, chief executive Presbyterian Church in There are several valid reasons for this posi tion. The one that makes the most sense is the fact that by exempting churches from taxes, the government actually is subsidizing them, partic ularly when (as is often the case) they are en gaged in revenue-producing activities in competi tion with others. QNE CHURCHMAN put it this way: "In California, a man can grow a beard, get a private religion, build a chapel, and operate a business with a 52 per cent advantage." In Oregon, most church property is devoted to religious purposes, operate wineries, distilleries, television stations, laundries, printing houses, hotels, and a long list oi other businesses all direct competition with It is no wonder that is growing. OERE IN Oregon, churches receive police and fire protection, have and sidewalks, and all the other amenities of or ganized society, but pay nothing for the privilege. These advantages are paid for, on their behalf, by the general taxpayer, willy-nilly. It can be argued that "the power to tax is the power to control," and that thus taxing church properties would violate the separation of church and state. But to us, this argument doesn't hold water. We see no reason why churches shouldn't pay for what they receive just like everyone else. In addition, it seems owned properties which to pay taxes comparable competitors. , CHURCHMEN who support this view do so nnt. nnlv an a matter nf fairnpsa Vint nlsn because they fear the creation of ill-will and hostility toward churches. Dr. Blake also foresees the possibility that, because of their favored status, the churches COUld gain Control Of Substantial portions Of the economy and lorce a revenue-starved govern ment to go to the revolutionary extreme of ex propriating church properties.

To others it represents raw lumber. To still others, it is a source of fiber. To a few it is beginning to represent a "chem ical warehouse." A. C.

But most of it now uoes into the burner, creating an economic loss and smoking up the atmosphere. borne years ago it fir bark could be used as the raw material in the manufacture of wax. Now, Professor Van Vliet reports, this wax can be made comaparable to the carnauba wax of South America. The Cor vallis Gazette-Times reports that "it is hard enough to use in floor and shoe polish. Only a slight change in the cost factors could make it economically feasible to produce it in competi tion with carnauba." npHL BARK also contains a compound that is chemically reactive and holds several nos- sibilities, including a food additive to prevent iooci uecoming rancid, a red tood dye, and new toxic agents for use as fungicides and herbicides. "Many of us," Van Vliet said, "feel that the chemical aspect of the forest products industry is untapped as yet." He also stated that the industry "is in a state of dynamic change," and that a breakthrough in any one ol tlie lielcts being explored could mean a major industrial development. At one time, the petroleum industry was limit ed to producing oil, gas and related products. Now it is the source of raw materials for thou sands of different products.

Until the last ditch, the ultra- liberals and the Southern seg regationists of the House Ju diciary Committee fought side by side for an extreme meas ure that could not pass. But the committee s senior Kepun- lican member, Rep. William McCulloch, courageously inter vened to rescue the bill, bring ing along Rep. John Lindsay of New York and others. The next hurdle is therefore the House Rules Committee. Some time must pass before the next hurdle can be vaulted. According to the best current estimates, another fortnight gj tSuy rUrtsHhe House Judiciary Committee can be laid before the Rules Com mittce. AFTER that, the Rules Com mittee's antediluvian chair man. Rep. Howard W. Smith, will no doubt be leisurely about hearing the testimony of mem bers of Congress who wish to say something before the civil rights bill is sent to the floor. There may well be more than two score Congressional wit nesses. Because of the national-mind ed bi-partisanship displayed by Rep. McCulloch, favorable ac tion by the Rules Committee seems to be assured in the end. But the end seems most unlikely to come before the lust dnys of November. And after the Rules Committee sends the bill to the House floor, the House must also take action be fore the bill proceeds to the Senate. It is a good bet, therefore, that the civil rights bill will not reach the Senate before the first week in December. In that case, passage of a civil rights bill this year will be virtually out of the question. No amount of pressure will overcome the inevitable Southern filibuster and secure the necessary vote for cloture before the Senate's Christmas recess on Dec. 20. fTHIS cloud ought to have a silver lining, to be sure, If only there were more logic in Congressional procedures. The tax reduction bill is already in the hands of the Senate Finance Committee. In normal circum stances, the slow pace of the civil rights bill ought to leave an opening for December pass age of the tax bill. Uy any practical tost, more over, passing the tax bill is probably a more useful step lo take in the present civil rights crisis than passing the civil rights bill itself. Among other things, the tax bill is specific ally designed to create more jobs, and more jobs are the most urgent Negro need today. Unhappily, the silver lining is pretty certain not to material ize, because the pace of the tax bill is even slower, if anything, than the pace of the civil rights bill. This great measure has been before Congress for just short ot ton months.

And committee hearings are go ing lo be suspended while the t MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop c) New York Herald Tribune Syndicate foreign aid bill is debated on the Senate floor. rTHUS the present forecast is that the tax bill may just possibly be reported to the Sen ate on the eve of the Christmas recess; and even this forecast may prove to be over-optimistic if the Senate has meanwhile taken up the civil rights bill and tied itself in knots with a filibuster. Both of these crucial bills will pass in the end. There is hard ly any doubt about that. But the tax bill will not pass when it will do the most good, which is this year. And the civil rights bili will pass only after the Senate has talked itself in to a stupor. , These facts mean several things of considerable impor tance. They mean, above all, that the always-creaky Con gressional machinery has de generated to a really dangerous degree. Even if majorities in both Houses favor action, and even if urgent national prob lems demand prompt action, no major action can be taKen now adays without an expenditure of time and effort that is re ally crippling. Thus the Executive is increas ingly deterred from proposing needed action by the certainty mat getting anything done will be a really killing job. And the whole process of government is increasingly handicapped to the point of being crippled. In the Day's News By FRANK In this space the other day, we were talking about measures oi weight and capacity, such as long tons and short tons and metric tons the point being that what is called a ton in one country may not be the same as what is called a ton in another country. Maybe, while we're at it, we might as well take a look at measures of DISTANCE, such as miles and kilometers. Only in American countries and coun tries with a British background (such as Canada) is the mile the standard measure of dis tance. That can be very contusing indeed if you arc traveling by car in a country where the kil ometer is the accepted measure of distance in Mexico, for ex ample. i KILOMETER equals 3,280 feet. A mile equals 5,280 (cel. If you are driving in continent al European countries, where the kilometer is the measure of distance on the highway signs, or in Mexico, where the same is true, and want to reduce kilo - meters to miles, so you will know where you are at and how far it is to the next point you arc interested in, you will find this a convenient rule of thumb T:ikp K0 npr pnnt nf rho num. Factually, a kilometer is 62.1 per cent ot a mile.

POPULATION EXPLOSION Dear Dr. Adler : Were peo ple of the past ever concerned with the prospect of world over-population? If so, what proposals were advanced as solutions to this problem? Mrs. Michael Davich 4112 Philip Way Fort Wayne, Ind. Dear Mrs. Davich: The popu lation problem got its first thorough discussion toward tne end of the 18th century. Adam Smith considered the effect of wage rates on the Increase and decrease of the working classes in "The Wealth of Nations," published in 1776. Thomas Mal thus wrote the first important work devoted solely to popula tion, "An Essay on the Principle of Population as it Affects the Future Improvement of Soci ety," which appeared in 1798. This pioneer work set the terms for all future discussions of the population problem. Malthus's argument is a beau tifully simple one. It is based on the assumption that human ex istence deDends on the means of subsistence on food supply. The latter, according to Mal- thus. increases at an "arithme tical" rate, by a constant addi tion; thus, 1, 4, 7, 10, and so on. Population, however, increases at a "geometrical" rate, by constant multiplication; thus, 1, 3, 9, 27, and so on. Clearly then, since constant multiplication in evitably exceeds constant addi tion, the time will come, sooner or later, when there will be more mouths than food to feed them. The DroDer balance between population and food supply, said Mallhus, must be regained throueh a decrease in the num ber of people. This may be ac complished through the "natural checks" of war, famine, and pestilence, and the "moral re straints" of continence, late marriage, and abstinence within marriage. Constant misery and vice tend to abate the genera tive power. Welfare measures, however, such as relief grants to the needv. hinder the natural movement toward a livable eouilibrium. This theory is Malthus's an swer to the population problem. It provided the intellectual ba sis tor tne modern Dirm comrui movement, although Malthus himself opposed artificial con traception as immoral. On the other hand, he aroused me en mity of social reformers, who held that the population proD lem is the result of curable so cial conditions, and condemned his doctrine as cruel, vicious, and false.

Adler (c) 1063, Publishers Newspaper Syndicate cent years have questioned his basic thesis that population inevitably outruns food supply. For one thing, they say, putting more land under cultivation and increasing the productivity of cultivated land has more than offset the natural increase in population. Actually this is what has happened in various parts of the world since Malthus's day. New lands have been cul tivated in America, South Afri ca, and Australia, and notable advances in soil productivity have taken place. Israel pro vides a current example of how intensive use of soil may meet the food needs of a vastly in creased population. For another thing, the critics say, it is questionable whether population necessarily increases at a constant rate, geometrical or otherwise. The birth rates in some Western European coun tries decreased so alarmingly before World War II that their governments took measures to encourage couples to have more children. Advancement in living standards seemed to bring about a decrease in the birlh-rate, not an increase, as Malthus assum ed. Indeed, the increase of popu lation in his own time was due to a fall in the death-rate, not to an increase in the birth-rate, as he thought. These criticisms seemed so cogent that for a time Malthus's doctrines were considered obso lete. However, the specter of a world population explosion has conferred new life on the the ories of the 18th-century econo mist. The introduction of mod ern hygiene into the underde veloped countries has brought about a sharp decrease in the death-rate, without a corres ponding decrease in the birth rate. United Nations experts predict that by the year 2000 the world will have over 6,000, 000,000 people, more than double its present population. If the same rate of increase continues for another 20 generations or so, there will barely be standing room, let alone vittlcs, for all of us. The question remains, how ever, whether anything human can be the subject of absolutely certain, mathematically precise predictions. Aristotle cautioned us 2,500 years ago that certain knowledge is impossible in hu man affairs. Similarly the auth or of the article on "Population Ecology" in the "Encyclopae dia Britannica" warns us today that the attempt to discover a simple mathematical law for hu man population g r o w t y "is doomed to failure."

Beine classed as a white per son, because of the visible color of one's skin, seems to me to be immaterial. If one trulv believes in the "Supreme Being," why not just let him Be tne judge oi nis uwn creations? How so is the need so great to inform God what his choice of race, creed or color should be? Surely it is not up to little people to dictate the worth of other little people of God's crea tion, no matter in what category they may come to be born, by the grace of God. Souls may be white, or they may be black. Who knows? I don't believe it matters what color skin is stretched over the bones of a structure that houses a soul. After all, the body is nothing anyway, and returns to dust af ter such a very short while. It is only the soul that can attain everlasting life, and who knows what color a soul may be"? It seems a little silly to fight each other over who is a master race, or just Which one is sup posed to be the exalted people. Love thy neighbor as thyself. I don't believe it says love only thy white neighbor. Any color people can be neighbors. Maybe you can't be expected to get along in Heaven if you can't love all of God's people, no matter what color they may be. (Name on file) Medford Self Reliance To the Editor: Edwin P.

Kenya and Tanganyika "Africaniza tion" proceeds apace, and all it means is driving out trained Europeans and replacing them with Africans with the briefest smatterings of political and buisness training.

Mr. Neilan suggests "return ing to the states, counties and local communities the responsi bility for projects basically lo cal in nature." The Area Redevelopment Ad. ministration wants to spend another $455.5 million to expand this assistance program to so called depressed areas. When this program was initiated 103 areas in U.

Is the federal government to pour out tax money and borrowed funds endlessly to bail out every community, industry and com pany that finds itself in trou ble? Rep. Wright Patman, D-Texas, commented, "It would be my suggestion this geltleman be de ported to some Fascist coun try ... . where he can enjoy the high morality he dreams about." Does Patman mean that po litical morality in America is already only a dream? Theodore Humes said, "This country was not built by men who relied on somebody else to take care of them. It was built by men who relied on them selves; men who dared shape their own lives, with enough courage to blaze new trails enough confidence in them selves to take the necessary risks.
