Let's Emphasize
Our Strength
It's one thing to keep a close watch
on what the Soviets are doing and to
carefully evaluate their achievements
on the basis of the best available data
It's an entirely different thing to go
from this to the belief that if we are
to stay ahead of Russia we must imi-
tate her system and her ways
That warning in effect was recently
given by Vice President Nixon The
Washington Post quoted him as saying
that the Russians have made some of
their biggest strides using American
forms of individual competition "At a
time when they are moving our way the
greatest mistake we can make is to move
their way" he went on "There is a
tendency today to say the way to get
things done is to have the Government
step in and do more the way it is done
in the Soviet Union I would say we
couldn't make any greater mistake than
to follow that philosophy in the United
States
"The Communists have a monopoly
on beureaucracy We should emphasize
our strength—creative private enter-
prise" It would be a great thing for this
country if more political figures of both
tht parties spoke out in similarly forth-
right words instead of flirting with the
left-wingers

Know What
You're Voting For
A leading magazine in urging all cit-
izens to vote says: "If you can spend a
few minutes each day using hair tonic
to save your hair can't you spend a few
minutes each year at the polls to save
your scalp"
Every vote is important Many elec-
tions have been decided by a mere hand-
ful of votes And in instance after in-
stance this has amounted to election by
minority—for the reason that only half
the qualified voters or less troubled to
go to the polls
Another things needs to be added An
ignorant vote is as bad or worse than
no vote at all Study the candidates and
their platforms Consider their integ-
rity character sincerity Measure their
ideas in terms of freedom opportunity
and the traditions and principles on
which the American system of govern-
ment has been built
Yes votein every election minor
or major that is open to you And make
sure it is an informed vote
Goose Pluckers
"There are many ways to kill the
goose that lays the golden egg Pluck-
ing him alive to make featherbeds for
unproductive workers is a favorite me-
thod of those politicians who confuse
'liberality' with reckless spending of
other peoples' money
"That's the sort of political philosophy
which is torturing and relentlessly weak-
ening our once sturdy American econ-
omic goose"—Tallahassee Fla Demo-
crat Milk Taxed 1000 Times
There are over 1000 taxes on a quart
of milk—land tax tractor tax tax on
feed tax on income tax on tax on tax
It appears that the politicians have
bought our votes with our own money
By the simple device of sticking our
heads in the sand we have made it all
possible
A SERVICE OF THE OKLAHOMA PRESS ASSOCIATION
by Ben Blackstock
For mast legislators the 18
months between the end of one
regular session of the legislat-
ture and the beginning of an-
other is spent studying many
phases of Oklahoma's laws and
problems to determine what new
legislation is needed
At rie present time and for
thz past nine months members
of the legislature through reg-
ular and special committees of
the state legislative council are
working on many projects in-
volving improvement of Oklaho-
ma laws Most legislators spend
at least several days each month
attending committee meetings
at the capitol They do not re-
ceive any additional pay for this
work although they receive sev-
en cents a mile for travel from
their home to the capitol Dur-
ing the current interim between
sessions there has been an aver-
age of about one council com-
mittee meeting every two and
one half days according to Jack
A Rhodes director of the state
legislative council
In recent years the trend of
the council's work has been
toward specific studies of major
segments of state law with the
resulting codification clarifica-
tion and improvement of these
laws Currently activities of the
council are directed toward a
number of code studies In past

MEMORIAL DAY
S UNDAY being Memorial Day
for our Country let us think
of its significance for our people
Manifestly it can be just a date
on the calendar or a time of
great blessing to our people
A poet has written that "a lInd
without ruins is a land without
memories" Though quite young
compared with other nations our
Country has gathered riches of
character from many countries
JUST A THOUGHT:
It is possible for "greatness"
to be a state of mind I all of
our deeds and actions are based
on sound thinking and pat-
terned according to our better
judgment we continually be-
come a much better person
to form what we believe to be the
race of destiny We have few
ruins in our land but many lofty
memories
So let us remember that we are
the heirs of staunch men who
have gone before to blazon the
way Their lives have been more
to our Country than stones and
lettered monuments If one should
enquire about our memorials
"What mean these stones?" let
us answer as the ancient Israelites
were bidden to do by pointing to
the goodness of God
On Memorial Day let us thank
God for the great men he found
he could use for our land Let us
do more than this and more
than bringing flowers let us
covenant with God to take up the
torch that has fallen from the
hands of the illustrious dead
Thursday May 26 1960
interims these studies have led
to enactment of an insurance
code putting all laws relating
to insurance together eliminat-
ing conflicting sections and add-
ing some much needed law on
insurance Similarly this has
been done with the state's ag-
riculture laws At the present
time special and subcommittees
are working on four major cod-
ification projects
Study of the commercial laws
of Oklahoma regulating nearly
every phase of commerce and
trade is being made by a com-
mittee headed by Rep John N
Camp Waukomis This study
being made with the help of
members of a special committee
of the state bar association and
a similar committee of state
bankers will result in presenta-
tion to the next legislature of a
uniform commercial code The
code provides laws relating to
sales to and by merchants
banking procedures conditional
sales contracts and other meth-
ods of financing and many
other phases of commerce The
committee is studying a uniform
code prepared by the national
conference of commissioners on
uniform state laws The code
has been adopted in several
eastern states where much of
the manufacturing and commer-
cial transactions involving Ok-
lahomans take place The de-
partment of commerce and in-
dustry is spending some $3000
this year to hire legal assist-
ance in preparing the uniform
code for introduction in the next
session of the legislature
highway safety laws are the
subject of study by a subcom-
mittee headed by Rep James
Burnham Canton This subcom-
mittee of the committee on
roads and highways has com-
pleted a review and revision of
a highway safety code prepared
during the interim prior to the
1939 session The code intro-
duced in the 1959 legislature
failed to pass This time the
subcommittee is making revis-
ions to take out some of the ob-
jectional features yet provide
the state with a comprehensive
code of laws on highway safety
In cooperation with officials
of the state highway depart-
ment another subcommittee is
studying a codification of gen-
eral highway laws These are
laws relating to purchase of
rights-of-way f o r highways
standards of construction main-
tenance and planning of high-
ways This too is a study of a
code completed prior to the 1959
session which also failed to
pass Importance of completing
these codes has spurred legisla-
tors to continue work on them
and even though they have been
rejected once by the legislature
A MASSIVE 1500 pound 12-
foot pendulum with an almost
frictionless pivot system is used
at the Naval Ordnance Labora-
tory Silver Spring Md to
measure the amount of force
an explosively driven device
canproduce
A SUPER camera that can take
pictures at the rate of two mil-
lion frames per second is used
at the Naval Ordnance Labora-
tory Silver Spring Aid to
show exactly what happens
when an explosive detonates
