And the chances 'are that a wheat man will fe named. Here in Oregon there is much sentiment in favur of Koy Ritner, Pendleton wheat grower and foimer banker. He would bring' practical ex fio:ience and good business judgment to the 'board if nominated. A Xew York di lector of chanties says that this country is i assing through an age of "meddling." Those who can recall the mode of life a generation or twd ago will be quick to fgiee but we must rememler that most of the meddling u mes as a result of some kind of public demand. And it viv.y be due to the greater complexity of modern life and therefore permanent. "Chapter 4: Til K I.. VST II.M SIOX The shrill command smote rn.- like the Wow of a fUt. I did not ni-.

A CONTRAST IJKTW KKN VOTKRS A well-known American recently returned to his home firm a trip to England. He had been in that country during the recent election campaign, and the contrast between what lie saw there and what he has seen in American elections V pressed him considerably. "I only heard about one-hundredth as much oratory over there as I would have heard in the same time in an Ameri can campaign," he said, 4,but I heaid about one hundred times as much good, sound argument. The voters over there t:se their biains. They understand the real issues and dis-tuj-s them. A speaker has got to hand out something besides 1 latitudes in a Dritish campaign." Other Americans visiting England have made the same comment. It seems to le generally agreed that the 1'ritish voter makes a genuine effort to understand exactly what is ;.t stake in each election. He demands that the candidates Msruss these issues intelligently. He is not, ordinarily, cisily led astray by meaningless slogans or catch phrases. You don't need to le told that that is not the way we do dings. In most national elections, a lare half of our quali fied voters go to the polls. During a campaign there gener ally seems to be a concerted effort by all candidates to avoid the real issues and deal in harmless generalities. We don't take our politics seriously; the British do. There's a reason for it, of course. Due to our still inex batisted natural resources and our great industrial develop if.t nt, our count! y moves along pretty well whether it is .ell goterniti or not. The average man will have his job just the same, even if things are poorly handled at Wash ington. England is an older country. Its industrial and commer cial machine is more easily thrown out of gear. If the j'oveinment is run badly, busines suffers and the average man quickly finds that it pays to have intelligent rulers. Pome day we'll reach that point. Then we, too, will use our biains at election time. I.KVMI H DIVDKFt: itMod of thre minor da ugh. .. t r : awarded t Mm. May- ?or l!KN'. NVv..
