The Nuithwcst will le represented on the federal farm
l-.ad, which is only right and fair. 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.

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.
