Fingerprint All U niversal fin g er-p rin tin g has long been sought by the fed e ra l bureau of investiga tion and has been officially ap p ro v ed and advocated by such o rg an iz atio n s as the A m erican Legion.

O regon has been th e fo rg o tte n sta te in th e m a tte r of defenses by both th e a rm y an d the navy. The congressm an selected naval a f fa irs in o rd e r to p u t him self in th e best position possible to ad v an ce th e in terests of Tongue P o in t and th e defense of the O regon coast, w hich is v irtu ally defense less. M illions and m illions have been spent in sunny C alifornia and th e P u g e t Sound a re a has received liberal a p p ro p riatio n s, w hile th e m outh of th e C olum bia and th e O regon coast is left to fen d fo r itse lf and affo rd s th e m ost vulnerable sp o t fo r in v ad ing forces. The late st discrim ination ag a in st O re gon on th e p a rt of W ashington, D. C„ seem s to be in th e m a tte r of th e n o rth w est a ir base. In fo rm atio n uncovered in W a sh ington indicates th a t a site in W ashington will be selected fo r th is base. H illsboro has been g re a tly in terested in th e the base and believes th a t it is s tr a t egically located. So do o th e r O regon com m unities. In fairn ess to th is sta te , its d e fense needs and its relatio n to th e n o rth w est, the base should be located in O re gon. Some good advice w as given local businessm en recently by David Eccles, edi to r of Business Survey in P o rtla n d , w hen he suggested th a t they en ter politics. O th e r m inority groups are rep resen ted in the legislative sessions to pro tect th e ir in te r ests and in some cases to p u t over p e t schem es. Legislation is im p o rtan t and d e m ands w holesom e study on th e p a rt of people who are qualified. P eace reig n s on the labor fro n t a t the p rese n t tim e and th e long-suffering p u b lic hopes th a t it will continue. The public w an ts fa ir tre a tm e n t for everyone— em ployes and em ployers— and m ost of all fo r itself. In too m any of these strikes the p u b lic ’s in te rest is forgotten and it gen e ra lly resu lts in a case of the public he dam ned. A real w o rth w h ile o p p o rtu n ity ¡s o f fered girls of W ashington county in the A rgus tra v e l contest. Not only do they have an o p p o rtu n ity to tak e a nine-day trip to C alifornia and Old M exico and ail its th rills w ith all expenses paid, but they receive a com m ission on all county sub scription business tu rn e d in by them . It gives a real ch an ce for d em o n stra tin g frie n d sh ip s by g e ttin g out and helping one's fav o rite in an effo rt to m ake a trip th a t will be an o u tsta n d in g event in any g irl’s life. T h ere is little a t fault in labor relatio n s in th e m any sm all business institutions th ro u g h o u t th e country, w here th e head of the firm is in close contact w ith em ployes and w h ere th e individual problem s and in terests a re know n to th e executive. In m any eases th e sm all business m ade up of an em ployer and a few em ployes is m ore like one big fam ily, especially w here th e head of th e business has due re g a rd to th e rig h ts of o th ers and p rac tic e s to some e x te n t th e golden rule. F a ir re tu rn and fa ir tre a tm e n t fo r all will m ake for a solidified dem ocracy. W’/ ig / Other Editors Say T his Bill Died O ne of th e b ills early to find its w ay in to the house h opper at Salem , provided for th e exclusion of all liq o u r ad v ertisin g from O regon new spapers, m agazines and radios, w ith, no doubt, th e prom ise th at if O regonians a re not rem inded, th ro u g h a d v e r tising. of th e fact th at th e re is such a th in g as h ard liquor, they w ill not have any u rg e to d rin k it. w hich is to laugh!

B ut exclusion of su ch a d v e rtis ing from new spapers an d m agazines p ublished in th is state, o r from bro ad castin g statio n s o perating w ith in th e b o rd ers of Oregon, w ould fall so far short of th e objective set by th e sponsors of this bill, th a t its effect w ould b e negligible.
