In Gerlinger Hall
Pan Xenia, international foreign
trade honorary, met last night in

in building the canal, and showed
the method by which it is operat
ed. The electric ship wks a one
reel picture showing the enjoy
able and interesting features of a
trip from New York to San Fran
cisco aboard a great new all-elec
tric ship. Both of the films were

* * *
The Republican administration,
under Herbert Hoover’s leader
ship, has established the Recon
struction Finance corporation,
which has brought protection to
millions of depositors in a per
manent manner. And, above all,
he has shown his desire to keep in
tact the American home, the
greatest of all institutions, by the
newest of his economic remedies,
the Federal Home Loan banks.
These bulwarks of governmental
credit will make it possible for
millions of small home owners to
keep their homes until the exist
ing burdens are lifted from their
shoulders.
With such a sound program of
rebuilding the business and the
prosperity of the nation, and with
such strong leadership and devo- ]
tion to the best interests of the
American people, the present is nc
time to completely change govern
mental administration — and undo
all that has been done, and start
all over again our climb to happy
prosperity! The leader of the na
tion in our present crisis needs
our loyalty, not our criticism; our
earnest and sincere support; and

FEAT. The second general rea
son is that a government, such as
ours, run (or ruined) under the
party system of government, must
have two parties of equal strength.
Only thus can responsibility in
government be enforced. If the
Democrats had as many votes as
the Republicans, the Tea Pot
Dome scandal under Harding, and
the “Saint” Andrew Mellon capi
talistic dictatorship under Cool
idge and Hoover would be sum
marily punished. Hence, abstract
edly, in the interest of good gov
ernment, you should lend your
support to the weaker of the two
major parties. Even an unbiased
Republican could agree to that.
Regardless of these two consid
erations, however, a comparison
of Hoover and Roosevelt, and of
the platforms on which they are
running, drives us inevitably to
one conclusion. The Republican
party’s theory of government, as
advocated by Hoover and his pred
ecessors, is to MAKE THE RICH
RICHER, the theory being that
some of the benefits will trickle
down to the poor. While Roose
velt is not an out and out liberal,
he is progressive enough to win
the favor of the liberal New Re
public magazine.
s * *
On the prohibition question,
Hoover is an apostate dry, an op
portunist who has shifted his side
as the electorate shifts. He has
been condemned by every national
dry association, and is not trusted
by the wets. Roosevelt is a sin
cere wet, who is opposed to the
saloon, and favors local option
with federal safeguards against
smuggling. Even the drys trust
his sincerity more than Hoover’s 1
opportunism.
The determining factor in the
election this fall will undoubtedly ;
be the economic issue. Which par
ty is best able to carry us out of
the depression? The Republican
attempt to pretend that we are
already out is rather pitiful, con
sidering the increase in unemploy
ment -which President Green of
the American Federation of Labor
estimates has increased by two
million from May to August, 1932.
The Republicans helped bring on
IbFrOfrUInirninDfAtlnlfrDminlfrLfnirnlrrDrnlffQniirniriiirnirDlfnirnira
the panic in ’29 by advising stock
speculation. Hoover now admits
that the panic started in the Unit
ed States. When he first discover
ed the depression was on, he
thought the best tactics were i
to blame it on foreign powers, be- j
ing confident that he could end it
in a few months. But he failed to
make even a dent in the depres
sion, so, in May of this year, he
reversed his position, and stated
that the depression started at
home, but that he had it almost
ended by April, 1931. In that
month, several large European
banks failed, and started the panic
all over again. The flat contra
diction contained in his change of
position, and the shabby political
opportunism which it displays can
not fail to arouse the disgust of
the voters. It is on a par with
Hoover’s other attempt to secure
the toga of a national hero by
bombing and bayoneting the men,
women, and children in Washing
ton and Plattsburg bonus camps.
In attempting to picture himself
as a strong man, he succeeds only
in appearing as a somewhat sour
lemon.
* * *
Roosevelt favors government
control of all water power sites,
and holds out the threat of public
ownership of all utilities, provid
ing reasonable rates and service
are not furnished by private en
terprise. This plan more nearly
meets the American ideal than
either the conservatism of Hoover,
or the socialism of Thomas. Under
Roosevelt it may be expected that
the fiasco of Muscle Shoals, where
the Republicans have built a power
plant but are afraid to use it, will
be satisfactorily solved.
* * *
Most encouraging is Roosevelt’s
record in New York state. During
this last year alone, he has saved
the state $46,000,000 in taxes, de
spite the fact that half of the tax
es collected in the state go to the
federal government, and have been
greatly increased, rather than low
ered. His determination to elimin
ate every unnecessary expense is
exactly what the beaurocratic na
tional government needs.

and beliefs of the two men is
complete justification of the
strong swing of the voters toward
Roosevelt this year. But there is
an even stronger reason why
Roosevelt should be put in the
White House. Even the Oregon
ian has stated that economic re
covery will be delayed unless there
is absolute accord between con
gress and the president. And such
is indeed a fact. ■ But it is also a
fact that the 71st congress is
bound to be Democratic. The
Democrats gained control of the
house two years ago, and every
prediction is that they will great
ly increase their lead there on No
vember 8. Since congress last ad
journed, the death of two Repub
lican senators, and the appoint
ment of Democrats to their places
gives the Democrats control of
the senate. The present line-up is:
Democrats, 48; Republicans, 47;
Farm Labor, 1. But the Demo
cratic strength is really greater
than that, for LaFollette, Hiram
Johnson, and Norris have all
promised to support Roosevelt,
thus giving him a strength of 51
to 44 for for the Republicans, and
the November elections are confi
dently expected to increase that
lead. Maine has already gone
Democratic, and New Jersey and
Colorado are practically certain to
elect Democratic senators. The
trend of numerous straw votes, in
cluding that of the Literary Di
gest, indicates that the Democrats
will win many more senate seats
this fall. And no Republican
prophet is bold enough to foresee
Republican control of the next
congress. Therefore, according,
even, to the Morning Oregonian's
Republican eye, the country must
elect a Democratic president if it
wishes to see a harmonious pro
gram to end the depression adopt
ed. To expect the Democratic con
gress to abandon its own views
and passively accept those of Hoo
ver is to ask it to abandon its own
party and become Republican. Al
though the Democratic house did
sacrifice its own program to ac
cept that of Hoover during the
last session, it has been too disil
lusioned with the results to do so
again.
* * *
I have not considered the claims
of the Communists or Socialists,
because this is essentially a con
test between Republicans and
Democrats. Either Hoover or
Roosevelt will occupy the White
House next March. Regarding
the facts which this article is all
too short to develop, the only con
clusion is: while you are voting

D. ROOSEVELT, YES.

(Continued from Put/c One)
we are living in the end of an
epoch. Not merely the economic
collapse in the present debach but
the general psychological attitude
of the people show signs of the de
cadence of our times. Our stan
dard^ have been shaken, hope has
turned to pessimism, and the
whole country is sick of the rack
eteering which is not confined to
illegal practices but is natural to
a society whose motto has been,
“My son, get riches — honestly if
possible." And now that riches
disappear, and we are told that
men starve because they have
produced too much, the lethargy
of our leadership indicates how
deep-seated is the paralysis of our
national will. If newspaper head
lines are at all indicative, then
drift in the U. S. is toward dis
aster not real prosperity, to war
not peace, and to outright dicta
torship or fascism, not democracy.

* * *
Why should a thinking man vote
the Socialist ticket in 1932 ?
There are three or four good rea
sons why such a man should vote
no other ticket than the Socialist.
(1) It is a party with ideas,
ideals, and a program. Consider
the following extracts from the
party platform; it is evident that
they are intelligent and forward
looking, based on a recognition of
the need to remedy certain con
ditions as they exist.
(a) Six-hour day and five-day
week.
(b) Unemployment insurance.
(c) Government ownership and
control of banking, currency, and
credit.
(d) Public ownership and con
trol of public utilities and the
basic industries.
(e) Increased inheritance taxes
on the higher levels of income.
(f) Reduction of armaments
leading toward total disarmament.
(g) Cancellation of war debts
(they can’t be collected anyway).
(h) Entrance of U. S. into the
World court and League of Na
tions.
(2) The second reason for vot
ing Socialist is the value of your
protest vote. Changes are incor
porated in the platforms of ma

jority parties only when a minor
ity party vote indicates the trend
of public opinion. In a Republi
can government the only way of j
ascertaining the will of the people i
is by a protest vote for a minor
ity party.
(3) The third reason for voting
Socialist is that you are throwing
your vote away to vote any other
ticket. If you want more of what
we have now, you don't need to
vote for it, you have it already.
But if you are at all disappointed
you can only vote Socialist. By
November 8 there will be no dif
ference between the Republicans
and Democrats anyway. They
came together on prohibition early
in the campaign, their tariff
planks are identical. Hoover ac
cuses Roosevelt of stealing his
thunder on control of the railroads
and now Roosevelt congratulates
Hoover for his stand on the bonus
payment. We have only two par
ties, the Socialist and the Repub
lican-Democrat.

Not only has the Colonial the

to fight the “school grab bill,” but
an additional method of giving to

by Glen Godfrey, promotion man
ager. In discussing the plan, God
frey explained that Wednesday
and Thursday the Colonial turned
over every 10th ticket sold to its
patrons to the fund and gave the
patron a receipt showing that ho
had contributed the price of his
ticket to the fund. This will al

income for the two nights.
To further help in getting con
tributions from other sources, tho

butor who donates $2 or more to
the fund a free pass to any show
being played at the theatre.
Passes have been left at littlo
