1b The-
Day's Sera
By FRANK JENKINS
Going on with Coronado:
In his amazing expedition from
Mexico into what is now t h e
American Southwest he was seek
ing gold and loot, after the man
ner of Cortez. He had a choice
of rumors. He could head to the
northeast. Or ... he could head
to the northwest . . . into what
we now fancifully term our imag
inary State of Jefferson.
He chose to swing to the north
cast. Why?
It's a guess, of course, but his
choice may have been determined
by WATER the liquid gold that
has meant more to the West than
all its metallic gold.
Coming up through Northern
Mexico, he passed through a long
valley bordered by two ranges of
bare mountains. The farther he
got to the north, the scarcer the
water became. The bubbling
springs disappeared. He could
find only wet spots where, by
digging holes and waiting for
them to fill, his expedition could
get enough muddy water to keep
men and animals alive.
It was a terrible experience.
N-? only was water pitifully
scarce. The sun was like a flame.
X scorched men and beasts. Im
agine yourself a knight encased in
armor, with a pitiless sun pouring
down on you and no water to
slake your burning thirst. Men
and animals died like flies.
In his diary, he termed it El
Jornado del Muerto the Journey
of Death.
Then
As by a miracle
They reached the Eio Grande.
Water! Plenty of it! Water to
drink. Water for the animals. Wa
ter to bathe in, and thus gain
surcease from the heat. Water
to make grass for animals to
eat.
' It must haVe been wonderful.
Anyway, hey chose lo follow
the water an understandable
decision. They had come to the
Kio Grande the Great River
about where it bends to the north.
They followed its valley. Clear up
to the Rockies. Across the Rock
ies. Down into what is now the
cornfields of Kansas and Nebras
ka. They found no gold. But they
found WATER. Water in abun
dance. Thus they proved again
what has been proved so often
since-that WATER is of more
value to man than gold.
The. cynical tragedy of it was
that iii crossing the Rockies the
feet of the footmen and hooves of
thethorses of the mounted men
tha cnil under which lav the
gold that later made Colorado
tamous.
Fate is a curious mistress. She
plays strange tricks on men.
Let's close this tale of one of
the most fabulous expeditions of
all time with a few random side
lights. Coronado's men carried fire
armsancient muskets of the
bell-mouth arquebus type. Oddly
enough, these weapons didn't too
greatly impress the tribes of fight
ing Indians through whose terri
tory the expedition passed. Their
mar was lerrifving. but the In
dians soon learned that they took
a long time to RELOAD. i
While a Spaniard was reload
ing his blunderbuss, an Indian
could fire a dozen arrows at him.'
And their bows were good and
their arrows were deadly. j
But-
Coronado's HORSES were some
thing else. They were WONDER
FUL. On his horse, a Spaniard
could run away from an Indian.
Or could run him down after all
his arrows were spent.
As the Navajos and the Apaches
and later the Crows and the
Pawnees and -the rest of the
plains tribes gazed upon Corona
do's horses their eyes turned
green with envy.
Every hour of the day and ev
ery hour of the night, the Nava
jo and the Apache and the Crow
and the Pawnee warriors nunc on
the flanks of the expedition. Ev
ery time a horse strayed Irom
the remuda, an Indian was wait
inc lo capture it.
Coronado's horses included both
talhons and mares. Both stallions
and mares strayed from the
camps. The Indians stole both
Fexes. Thus, in time, they passed
from the status of foot Indians lo
the status of MOUNTED Indians.
It was thus that the horse came
In Western America. So. you see.
Coronado's expedition was a turn
ing point In the history of our
Western Country.

State Issues
NO. 11 FINANCING IMPROVEMENTS In Home Rule
counties Requiring Home Rule counties to
pay for local improvements by taxing only
benefited property unless otherwise provided
' by law or charter.
SYNOPSIS Doesn't concern Klamath County
as it is not a Home Rule county. The measure
would clear the air for the eight counties in
the state that have set up Home Rule commit
tees, and would give them power to make im
provements and assess benefiting property.
Under a recent ruling in Multnomah County,
Home Rule counties are not empowered to
issue Bancroft Improvement Bonds. It greatly
hampers their operation.
NO. 12 CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT in enemy at
tack To authorize the legislature to set up
machinery to continue local and state govern
ment in the event of enemy attack.
SYNOPSIS Clears up any lack of succession
in public office in the event of enemy attack.
Empowers legislature to determine line of suc
cession for all local government subdivisions,
and permits them to provide temporary loca
tions for all such governments.
NO. 13 WAR VETERANS' BONDING AND LOAN To
amend bonding limits for war veterans' loans
from four per cent assessed valuation to three
per cent true cash value of all property in state.
SYNOPSIS Now authorized to borrow ap
proximately $150 million dollars for farm and
home loans. This would increase total authorized
amount to 285 million dollars. Loan repayments
by veterans expected to be adequate to pay
interests and retire state bonds.
NO. 14 PERSONAL INCOME TAX BILL To increase
state revenues. Lowers personal income tax
rates, abolishes federal tax deductions.
SYNOPSIS This measure would increase per
sonal taxes by $6.4 million per year. It will not
allow the deduction of federal income taxes
paid as at present. It will liberalize laws
in respect to deductions for travel expenses
while away from home for minimum period
during which duties require necessary rest; will
repeal present dollar limit on medical expenses
and lower rates of withholding on agricultural
workers from 2.25 per cent to 2 per cent.
Latest governor's statement indicates an ex
pected tax surplus of approximately 35
million dollars.
NO. 15 BILLBOARD CONTROL Prohibit certain ad
vertising signs within 660 feet of interstate
highways and throughways. Regulates per
missible on-premise and business signs.
SYNOPSIS Bill applies to interstate high
ways, such as U.S. 30 east of Portland and
U.S. 99. Refers only to class D signs, those
having no relation to premises or roadside serv
ices within 5 miles. It authorizes state to erect
roadside service signs, assess fees and put the
money in the general fund.

in registrations in this stale.
From Fresno, the vice presi
dent's campaign trail took him
by plane to San Jose. Hayward,
Oakland, Van Nuys and
Los Angeles where he was sched
uled to make a major political
tigued; but the vigor of his lan
guage against his opponent grew
increasingly heated.
In a period of less than 14
hours Friday and Friday night,
Nixon in talks from Fort Worth,
Tex., lo Fresno called the Massa
chusetts senator "the Pied Piper
from Boston. . .(an advocate of)
totalitarian methods. . .inexperi
enced. . .(supporter of) police
state-type controls . . . despicable
and vicious. . .frantic. . .econom
ic ignoramus."
It seemed unlikely that he
could or would employ angrier
labels than these as he drove de
terminedly toward the climax of
the most rigorous presidential
campaign in history.
"Last minute opposition tactics
are becoming more and mora
desperate," he said in accusing
Kennedy of spreading "poison
ous" theories of -federal finance,
domestic economics and foreign
policy.
He likened his opponent to an
old-fashioned "medicine man"
with a glib gift of gab for spuri
ous nostrums w hich were either
worthless or even harmful, but
never remedial.
Kennedy Radiates Confidence
Khrushchev Welcomes Reds To Moscow
MOSCOW (AP) - Premier
Khrushchev headed the welcom
ers at Vnukova Airport Saturday
to greet Chinese Communist lead
er Liu Shao-chi, arriving to cele
brate the 43rd anniversary of the
Bolshevik Revolution this week.
It was the Soviet Premier's first
public appearance in about 10
days. . .
His appearance cut the ground
from under wild rumors in the
West that he had been deposed.
These rumors never gained any
credence among Western diplo
mats in Moscow.
Soviet officials had merely
laughed off the rumors which
spread from Vienna Friday. (In
Bonn, Vienna, New York and else
where Russian agencies had
termed the rumors nonsense.)
The first formal greeting at the
ataevrt was extended to Liu by
Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev.
NEW YORK (AP) - Sen. John
F. Kennedy, radiating confidence,
told a Democratic breakfast in
New York Saturday, "I look for
ward to Tuesday night with equa
nimity." With that assertion the Dem
ocratic presidential candidate

jogging along with the crowd
within 20 feet of Kennedy's open
convertible.
"When he saw me," said pa
trolman Vincent Moretti, "he put
his hand in his pocket and then
started to run. I had to tackle
him and then about 20 officers
jumped in." A loaded automatic
was found in his pocket.
The man, who said he was
Puerto Rican, was seized as Ken
nedy approached the Chicago Sta
dium to address a huge rally.
An hour earlier police grabbed
a man carrying a revolver in a
brown paper bag as he tried to
brush past gate attendants at the
auditorium.
Both men said they were carry
ing the guns for protection and
denied they intended to harm
Kennedy. Police said each would
be charged with carrying a con
cealed weapon.
Moretti said Kennedy appar
ently was unaware of the tussle.
The man identified himself as
Alejandro Jaime Cruz, 23, a ma
chinist who came to the United
States six years ago. Cruz told
police he wasn't aware that the
pistol, a .25 caliber Spanish weap
on, was loaded.
Moretti said the gun had a shell
in the firing chamber. The gun's
safety catch was unlocked.
Capt. Patrick Flynn said the
man apprehended at the Stadium
gate was Israel Dabney. 61. a
Negro. He told police he is a
clergyman, said he was born in
Louisiana and is unemployed.
