WYNNE Measures numher ciht and nine are important measures, but are more "housekeeping" meas ures than anything else. Numher eight would authorize the Legislature to alter, reduce, enlarge or terminate the use or purpose of any state institution lo cated outside Marion County any time alter 10 years from date of election which located the institu tion. At present the Constitution pro vides that all public institutions of this state shall be located in Mari on County; except that the Legis lature may order the local of a public institution outside Mari on County if such act is ratified by a majority of the voters at a general election. It is pointed out that at present it is necessary to get a vrite of 'the people to build a public instilu tion outside Marion County any way, and this portion would not be materially changed. The net effect of the measure, if approved, would bo to give the Legislature the power to deter mine future status of all public in stitutions outside Marion County, and to terminate or alter them as they chose. The only argument against this is that a capricious Legislature would have the latitude lo do some damage. Also, the net re sult, if strictly interpreted would be to eventually have all public institutions located inside Marion County. Thai's an issue that has also been hotly debated across the state. Measure numher nine is to au thorize the Supreme Court to ap point temporary judges lo the Su preme Court and the lower courts and to assign lower court judges to temporary duty outside their districts. Purpose of this measure would be lo speed up the handling of court cases. A tremendous backlog faces not only the Supreme Court but al most every other court, and the authority lo appoint temporary judges as needed would material ly assist courl case handling. This procedure is already being used in Ihc cases of temporary duty outside Ihcir district for cer tain judges, hut it recently was challenged and some question cast on the constitutionality of such procedures. The measure is designed lo change the Constitution and re move all douht of the constitu tionality of such moves, and as such is merely a "housekeeping" measure. shaft, hoping against hope tnat "their man" had escaped the ex plosion and the "black damp." Like hurricanes and tornadoes the equinoctial weather, both spring and fall, seemed to bring on mine disasters. Something in the changing temperatures caused the air in the mines to become more subject to explosions. Of course, with modern safety devices and better operating conditions, largely developed by the Bureau of Mines, disasters are far less frequent. The old miner's lamp became electri fied and ver.iilation in the under ground workings was much im proved. Once when 1 took some samples of diatomaceous earth from here hack to the Pittsburgh Testing Lab oratories in hopes that it might contain aluminum it did. but it also contained silica, which was too expensive to get out of it I learned an unusual use that was being made of diatomaceous earth. The Bureau of Mines ground it up into a very fine powder. Then they put it up in thin tissue paper sacks and placed the sacks over the en trances of all the underground workings in the coal mines. If an explosion occurred, the concussion would rupture the sacks, releasing a fine dust into the air. This dust upset combustion and prevented the spread of fire through the mine. When I was in the Army at Camp Lee in the "old man's war. learned some more about mines and miners. We had a number of Polish miners in our outfit. When the rest of us organized drives to kill off the rats that swarmed around camp, the Poles would have no part of it. Seems rals in a mine can smell coal gas long be fore a man can. They squeal and run around in a panic, warning the miners to get out quick. Coal mining has always been a back - breaking, dirty, dangerous job, bill no honest to goodness miner will ever work at anything else. It is their whole life as it was that of their fathers and their grandfathers before them in many cases. watched a iu.sian soprano and aithe loss of other income during Hungarian guitarist. that period, this sum is of course Thi.iBs picked tin at the second ony a token payment. Actually top, a night club called La Nou-i'W means that we expect honest voile Eve, where we saw some strippers. The last stop was Mou lin Rouge, full of acrobats dancers, and pantomime comics No sex. Helurning to my hotel I was given the big sell by two ladies of the Protect Paris' Reputation for Sin Society. They were waiting on the curb. Curiously they did not whisper like Ihc postcard salesmen. They shouted, or I felt as if they were shouting, their promise of an in (cresting nightcap, complete with prices in francs and dollars. I said no thanks I have witnesses and kept on going. The girls laughed, and I thought I heard a few slanders about my manhood nside (he holel clerk seemed amazed I was still alone. Then his expression changed to sadness and finally, to hope. "Bon nuit, monsieur," he said, handing me my key. "But tomor row is another day, n'est-ce pas?" They II never believe me back on the 8:05. Numher 10, the stale power measure, is a highly important measure and one deserving of very careful study. Purpose of Ihc measure is to empower the stale to acquire and develop water, Ihermal and nucle ar power gcnrialing facilities. The state may develop energy for transmission and sale on whole sale basis or directly to industries using lo.mil) kilowatts or more. The measure would amend the constitution in three ways: (U It would enlarge I he authority of the stale in Ibis aclivily by permilting Hie development of thermal and nuclear power, as well as water power. 121 Increase the amount of debt which could be incurred from the six per cent of assessed valu ation limit In 10 per cent of as sessed valuation or approximately 383 million dollars. i3 It would limit the sale by the state lo a wholesale basis and allow direct contracts with industries using 10, 000 kilowatts or more. The measure is highly contro versial and would result in the state going heavily in debt. H has also some hidi ramifica tions locally that should be brought out. Suppose, tor instance, I h e state decided to purchase Copco here in the Klamath area. They could under the proposed measure. Then, suppose Ihey develop and sell Ihc energy. What would hap pen In the properly taxes paid by such concerns'.' How about Un franchise tax it currently pays the city of Klamath Falls lor instance, a tax that gives the city a con siderable sum" And there is always the ques tion that it will open the door for another Tennessee alley Au Ihority in the stale of Oregon There appear to he a great num ber nl problems in the measure that have not been thoroughly con sidered or thought out. Suhhiiig For Movie By SAUL PETT PARIS (API The last lime 1 saw Port Washington, N.Y., the houlevardiers on the 8:05 were leering. "Going lo Paris, I hear," said a fellow commuter on the Long Is land Railroad, with a knowing elbow in my ribs. .Man! Paris! Man, oh man, oh man! another man groaned. Thus, long before I took my first walk in the narrow streets of Montmartre, I felt a heavy sense of national obligation, as though it were part of the franchise of American manhood, to be thor oughly wicked in Paris. Now 1 know where this national eer comes from. It comes from 'aris. "Are you alone, monsieur?" asked the hotel clerk when I reg istered . "I am alone." "Ah, yes, monsieur, you will en joy Paris.' On the R le rie la Paix, the lady in the perfume shop refused to be lieve I wnrted perfume for my wile. "Mais oui monsieur," she said snickering And sure enough, going into the Louvre, I was stopped by a man in a hoi el who laughed like a muffled hyena. He flashed some postcards; and when I shrugged him off, he laughed again. By the time I got ii'side the museum even the Mona Lisa's smile seemed un duly familiar. Coming out of Notre Dame I noticed a funeral on a side street, tho mourners walking solemnly behind the hearse. In front of the cathedral another man in a beret tried lo sell me postcards. That night 1 joined a group of eight American men on an Ameri can express bus investigating Paris by night."

Let's sec, I think it was Harry Truman, who said "a stuck pig will squeal." J. B. Pennington I'Ihmmv Klamalh Falls (To The Editor) Re: The Nelson Reed - Ken Mc Leod Jr. expressions on your page. As a native Klamath bird shoot er, bird feeder and bird watch er, who has come home cold, wet. exhausted and skunked as well as one who is on record as having exceeded the bag limit, I'd like to say a word on behalf of the guy who owns a shotgun as an excuse lo get out alone in ' Ihc raw lo brush the cobwebs of mod ern civilization from his brain. McLcod missed Reed's point en tirely or ignored it for his own purposes. The point is that Ihc garden variety hunter is geiting sick and tired of being forced to financially maintain the empire of the Fish and Wildlife boys for thelgovernmcntal affairs of that mag members of the State Senate and Assembly to represent us at substantial financial sacrifice out of their own pockets. Is this either democratic or consistent with good government? The pittance Oregon now pay those we elect to govern us among the lowest in the nation It is less than that paid in any of our neighboring states. California legislators, for instance, can he expected to devote year-round at tention to their public duties they receive $B,000 annually plus per diem, while in session. Even Idaho far less populous and less wealthy than Oregon provides bet ler for its legislators. A "Yes" vol on Ballot Measure No. 3 this fall A-ould only permit bringing Ore gon's scale up to that of Washing ton state, at $1,200 a year with the possibility of expenses during the Salem session, Undoubtedly, opponents of th measure will include some of the same people who, inconsistently, are cynical about "politicians" and lowngrade them for being acces. sible to lobbyists and special in crests, The argument is thoughtlessly made lhat legislators "know the salary when they run" and thus should be satisfied with it. Yet what of the potential candidates who cannot afford the financial sacrifice at all? There was a time in the history of parliamentary government, when legislators were not paid at all and that means, at least not by the public. Cer tainly, candidates could neverthe less be found, as could private in lercsts, only too glad to support legislators while in office and to make legislative service worth their while. But who today would suggest returning to such a sys tem With the widespread concern in these times about lobbying and conflicts of interest, do we not want to bolster the independence of legislators at least to the point where they can break even on the actual costs of their public serv ice? It would cost about $54,000 more a year to pay a decent salary to our Legislature, who control a liennial stale budget approaching 300 million dollars. Could there be a sounder investment in compe ent handling of our taxes and purpose of having five to seven million birds here (F&W figures) for the sole benefit of a few screw ball professional birdwatchers like Ihe "Look" photographer and Writ er McLcod and the big California rice growers Fish and Wildlife has become so efficient in ils stated purpose of keeping ducks and geese within Ihe reserve sanctuaries until after Ihe rice harvest that, without their word of it, we wouldn't know there's a bird in the Basin. Within the past week I have made the loop up to Crater Lake and back the west side of Klamalh Lake, and through Yonna, Poe and Laugell valleys without seeing so much as one tiny flock of ducks If Ihe reader feels thai main taining the millions of migratory waterlowl should he for the pur pose of hunter recreation rather than the way it is, I suggest that he so write his congressman. There's no hope from the dedi cated, closed-minded F&W people or from the professional "bird watchers." A. D.

This is a completely non-partisan measure. No vote on an issue on the ballot can make a more es- nitude? That is why we urge our fellow voters, of both parties, to vote es on Ballot Measure 3 on Section day. Richard L. Ncubcrger, Maurine B.

Butler renewed his suggestion that Democrats who won't support civil rights plank in 1960 get out of the party.
