To the Editor:
In your paper dated September 17,
1964 you report a political talk made
by my opponent in which he criti­
cizes the action being taken by the
county court concerning the Court­
house Building Program, and the
future use of O&C funds.
He states that all money expendi­
tures should be referred to the peo­
ple and that if elected he would refer
“any Court House Building Program
to a vote of the people far their de­
cision.’’
This we have always wanted to do
and would do, yet if legally possible.
In an opinion from our D.A. dated
1-14-63 we were advised: “the Coun­
ty Court must first, without the bene­
fit of an election, make a decision as
to whether a new courthouse shall
be constructed or whether to remodel
the present courthouse.”
The same opinion states: “One oi
the dangers in attempting to hold an
election or circulating a brochure
which would have the result of an
election, is that this would be im­
proper use of public funds and could
result in a suit by the taxpayers to
hold the members of the court per­
sonally responsible for the expendi­
ture of this money.”
So, unless my opponent wishes to
personally pay for the cost of an
election, which amounts to approxi­
mately $2,500.00, he would, as we are
doing, follow the law in this matter.
At present there is legally nothing to
refer to the people. No bond issue is
asked for, ample funds are in banks
to pay for any building project the
county needs.
He was further quoted in the same
article as complaining “that the
incumbent county judge. . . .is be­
lieved to be currently pricing various
parcels of property, etc.” The county
court, consisting of our two commis­
sioners and myself are doing exactly
that. So the matter of location, size
and design of the building is the re­
sponsibility of the people’s three (3)
elected representatives, the county
court, and any decision made by
them will be a court decision and not
that of just the county judge.
Thousands of dollars are going to
be spent on this project and we offer
Thanks to his consumer-owned rural electric
system, America’s farmer does his work faster and
more efficiently.
Electricity helps him feed and water more cattle
and hogs, hatch and care for more chickens, milk
more cows. I t lights his barns, cools milk and cream,
and keeps food fresh and safe. The end result is
fresher, healthier food on your table. And it take»
less of your family budget than ever before.
Consumer-owned rural electric systems—in most
cases cooperatives—help guarantee that America’»
farmers will be able to meet all of this nation’s grow­
ing demands for food. These rural electrics were built
with the help of Rural Electrification Administration
Ioans—and they are owned and directed by the peo­
ple they serve.
As farmers use more and more electricity to
produce more and better food, REA loans continue
to help the rural electrics keep pace with the grow­
ing demand—and everybody benefits.

no apology in being cautious and tak­
ing our time in studying all factors
involved in order to come to the best
possible decision. It is amazing to
think that my opponent is so bank­
rupt for a political issue as to at­
tempt to make a political football
out of this matter. Notwithstanding
pressure being brought by various
individuals
who might personally
benefit, we refuse to be panicked in­
to doing something hastily which we
feel might not be to the best interest
of ALL the people of Columbia
county.
His quoted statement “that he
thought that most of the O&C Land
Grant funds recently acquired should
be used far property tax relief” and
“no one seems to be thinking about
the taxpayers these days” , was, of
course, political "bunkum”. The law
states that O&C receipts can be used
only in the County General Fund and
the County General Road Fund only.
These two funds only account for
approximately 16 percent of each tax
dollar collected. If the O&C surplus
was dumped in these two funds for
the next two years our tax base
would be depleted to the extent that
we would have to go to the people
for an extra tax levy with which to
operate our county government and
this would be a dangerous thing to
do. The extra O&C money we have
and will receive will not be spent for
any purpose except as authorized by
the six member County Bildget com­
mittee.
Our county is in as good or better
financial condition as any county in
the state. $811,596.80 is in banks and
will be spent only to provide the
buildings, materials and services
that we must have and the taxpayers
will thus reap the benefit of these
accumulated savings.
Yours very truly,
John W. Whipple,
County Judge
Dear Editor:
Living behind their own individual
iron curtains are 1,8000,000 American
children. For them the clarity of the
outside world, with its .beauty,
breadth, and opportunity, will'never

the mentally retarded live twice the
combined number of those afflicted
by blindness, polio, cerebral palsy
and rheumatic heart conditions.
Many retarded children will lead
normal adult lives if they can ma­
ture socially and if they receive
training to make them self-support­
ing. Already handicapped, they must
not be doubly handicapped by being
denied a chance to develop.
About 200.000 babies born this year
will be retarded. Though over 100
causes are known, these account for
only a fourth of the cases. Progress
in prevention moves through a suc­
cession of small advances across a
broad front.
Encouraging the development of
recreational and educational oppor­
tunities, promoting research in fields
of prevention, and helping parents
adjust to their handicapped children
are part of the work of retarded chil­
dren’s associations.
Your association invites you to its
first fall meeting Saturday at 6.30
in St. Frederics school auditorium,
St. Helens. Three distinguished
speakers will discuss retardation:
Mrs. William Gordon, of the Jewish
Community Center; Dr, Donoghue,
of Portland University, and Dr. Ras­
mussen, of Doernbecher hospital.
CARC urges you and your family to
attend this dinner meeting, which
will be potluck.
