Dy FRANK JENKINS
TJERE It is only three days be
fore election. At such a mo
. ment, the writer of editorials
OUGHT to be serious and solemn,
all weighed down with heavy re
sponsibility. He shouldn't permit a single
V frivolous thought to cross his
mind, but instead should spend his
time ladling out. priceless advice to
the voters as to what to do when
the great day comes.
That, obviously, Is what OUGVT
to be.
OUT how can ANYONE who is
gifted with . even a reasonable
sense of humor, as an editor
should be, if he Is to amount to
much, remain serious and solemn
and free from frivolous thoughts
in the face of the issues and the
antics of this particular campaign
in Oregon?
We ask you. Answer If you can.
TJERE is tne biggest merchant
and one of the richest men in
Oregon, for example, waving the
red flag of discontent and shouting
the motto: "Us common people
must stick together!"
TPIIIS same rich merchant, whose
close associate and strongest
supporter Is the biggest power
baron on the Pacific coast, is
ivhooping it up all over the state
for public ownership of power, and
he and his . friends aro yelling,
"Down with the power trust,"
when the HEAD of the power trust
out here In the West is this same
close associate and chief backer
of the rich merchant who wants to
be governor.
1JERE we are getting all hot and
bothered over the power prob
lem, when the only power problem
we have In Oregon Is getting In
dustries enough to provide a
MARKET for the inimitably vast
power "that is now running to
waste in our streams, so that this
power may be developed, thus
providing JOBS for the people In
Oregon who need jobs.
AND here we are all steamed up
about power, . which Isn't a
problem and CAN'T be a problem
until we get industries enough to
consume at least a reasonable part
of qur abundant power that is go
ing utterly to waste, and all the
while, we are IGNORING the very
real and vitnl problem of adequate
and fair taxation, which IS a
problem that must be solved be
fore Oregon can go ahead as we
want her to go ahead.
WITH all this going on, how can
" anyone who has even a rudi
mentary sense of humor remain
serious and solemn and all weigh
ed down with responsibilities?
He can't. So let's turn In and
discuss frivolous subjects .with a
' free mind. .

Rojeburg voters, in addition to

a city ballot to mark, together with
the election of seven trustees for
the North Umpqua - Diamond Lake
highway improvement district.
The greatest item of interest on
the city ballot is the bond amend
ment providing money to secure
the site for a branch of the na

is officially designated as .the
place for such institution.
A great deal has been done In
the past few days to stimulate the
vote on this project. It is not be

bond Issue losing, but It is almost
as important, supporters feel, to
secure a unanimous vote on this

any material opposition to the bond
