If thev GO VOTE! in theory, we have government by majority in this nation. ¿iLPrugticc, we frequently have government by minority. A glance at the voting figures of your town, county, and state will substantiate this. Time and time again, well under ’ half of the registered voters go to the polls on election day. This » is particularly true of local elections, and national elections in * off-years when there is no race for the presidency. And when . that happens, the “voice of the people” is a small and ineffec- ' tual voice indeed. Our ancestors fought for centuries to win and maintain the right of franchise. It is the basic guardian qf free government —and of all the other freedoms which are possible only under free government. It is the first right to be abrogated by dieta- toM— m the travesties on the “free” election system which used topecor periodically in Germany. Italy and elsewhere prove. It is ^he greatest defense against oppression. The citizen who fails to vote shirks a basic an«l inescapable responsibility.

Secretary of State Rob- ert S. Farrell Jr., announced to- day. The course consists of eight units and was prepared as a joint project of the secretary of state's office, the state department of public, instruction, the Portland traffic safety commission, the Portland public schools and the Oregon State Teacher's associa­ tion. The course now is in the hands of the printer and is expected to be ready for distribution late in No­ vember, Farrell said. "Traffic authorities long have believed that driver education and training at the high school level is one of the most important fac­ tors in traffic accident preven­ tion.’’ Farrell said.
