To tke Editor ' of The Journal To voter of this district will be. called opOn, m the-ecll elec tion Ylday, to say wneuier xrw;y oenre that Fred G. Buchtel be continued on the Job as public, service commissioner or be replaced by some Individual who. In his eampaiTv pledges himself to re duce streetcar fares to or eepata, The Central Labor . council has -given this matter considerable thought- The peo- nl It.rMirHHila are orobabbr aa vltaily interested as are any "other? group .-r class , of - people.4 jOrganiaed fhfcbor has always'protested-ivigerousiy -againax any firm -or corporation -eiacting iiiore than a reasonable .profit Ion .Its investment, yet it has always maintained that all individuals, firms or corporations were entitled to a reasonable profit. Just as we have always insisted that the work inr man should receive a reaaxwable wage, v When the ppblle. service com mission granted the 1 Portland Railway, Light A Power eorrtpajiy-permission to raise its fares to cents, ana again when permission waa granted to increase the fare to 8 -cents, the. Central Labor council appointed committees which in vestigated the evidence upon -which a decision for an increase was made and reported to the council that it felt the Increase in fares was justmea. - It will be remembered that one of the principal causes of the Denver tram way strike in 1920 was the fact that the emnlovea were demanding an increase from a ridiculously low wage, which increase both the company and the war labor board contended 1 could not De granted without ark Increase in fare. The war labor boar in November, 1918. handed 'down its decision materially in creasing wagee and in December the nublic utilities commission, authorised a 7 cent fare. In May,,191. a, candidate for mayor became committed to. a pledge to restore the 5 cent Tare, ana nis elec tion and . the restoration of the 5 cent fare with a consequent reduction "in wages, waa, as above stated, one of the principal contributing factor to the strike, and the result jwaa an increase in rates again. If the Portland Railway, Light & Power company is receiving more than a reasonable return on its Investment then rates should be revised, but the company should not be limited to 5 cents. 6 cents or even 7 cents if this does not allow, a reasonable wage and a reasonble return on 'the -investment, and we are firmly convinced that the candidate who pledges: himself to-bring about a reduction of 'fares to 61 cents without a thorough investigation jof the merits of the matter is neither honest with himsejf, his constituents nor the public-service corporations. Organized labor is in. hearty accord with the recall law but believes that its use against Mr. Buchtel is unwise and has; therefore indorsed him to Succeed himself, having faith in his honesty of mimoM and his ability to Impartially consider Ahe Important matters that are referred to-the public service comrma sion for decision. - W.

To the Editor of fh Journal At the primaries on Friday the voters will have the opportunity to Indorse the candidacy- of Mrs. C. B. Sim mons for the legislature. Mrs. Simmons is too well and too favorably known not be elected by a substantia? margin pro vided two contingencies are guarded against. One is over-con rlaence on ine part of her friends, who may take it for granted that the electorate in--general is aa familiar as they with the fact that by her character, her ability, ia ner experience in dealing with civic and so cial problems she is -eminently fitted to represent the citizens ot roruana. ine other Is harder to define. Stated briefly, almost brutally, it Is this: Many people. . . . . . 1. A. Ill some almost wttnoui Knowing k. mu cling to the exploded theory of woman's Inferiority. They forget that while many women are leas TK tea than some men, il is equally true that some . women are better fitted than many men to fill posi tions of trust and responsibility. Women as legislators now are to be found the world over, notably in Canada. Austra lia, England, Sweden. Finland, Csecho- Slovakia and in our United States. A partial list of our own states in which women form part of the law-making body, includes Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Kansas, Montana, Utah, Colorado California and Oregon, we in Oregon have had in the past several women' representatives who have served the people's interests as well as most men and better than' some. If we elect a woman this year we shall do no new thing. If we elect Mrs. Simmons we shall show ourselves capable of appre ciating proved ability, integrity, and self-sacrificing devotion to the public welfare in fellow-citizen, ' even a woman fellow-citizen. j . - 1 . .

To the Editor of The Journal There are many good men and women in our country, and we enjoy seeing in the columns of our news papers those of the type of M. L. T. Hidden, who ere presenting their names for official recognition. But. in sharp contrast to Mrs. Hidden is one who is an aspirant for . office who seems to be wholly indifferent to the welfare of humanity, judging from her platform statement, in the support ot wine and beer measures. Evidently she has not lived" long enough to know some things connected with ; the- past licensed liquor traffic, or she would not be so liberal In her views ' We may hold under suspicion any as pirant for office who in his or her plat, form pledges states' "liberal views ' which, in other words, ; might mean a wine and beer platform. A great, whole some truth should be firmly established --ihat the licensed liquor traffic ' was the most gigantic evil that ever cursed humankind. There are too many wives and mothers in our land today who can tell all they -have suffered from the mon ster rum. And now, after such a curse has .been, outlawed, we dislike to see women help to reinstate such an evil apparently without' any reserve.. Are these people trying to make it appear that wine and beer-are not. intoxicating? Every. weilWn formed person knows that beer ' has ' done mere 'damage than all other Intoxicating beverages, because during jthe saloon period it attracted and attacked more people. HtM A:s'' -' "W will yet have many -violations of the 18th amendment, because the old soaks are not alt dead, but I believe the time is coming, if the law. remains and is enforced, as it can and should be. when : the rising generation will look back, with appreciation te - think that such, air institution as the saloon was so effectually abolished.

Editorjk islative Jobs the lawyers are well in the lead, yelling for. lower taxes, although a lawyer is as raucn a. tax on a communi ty as an official. One of then pleads. "Reduce taxes ; don't Just talki" ; sthough he has never been much of a. taxpayei and haa no record of public service. There are two classes in the; business world those who sell products and those who sell "service The ? la wyersj; service is a costly oner Of doubtful value. He "does not represent the producerai "quired superiority to do" their thinking.1 He may have a brief to think for themj but he does not think with. them. 1 The producers, especially farmers, are just now struggling with the burdens' of, "normalcy," and we would expect them to want representation; i.t the . legisla ture, as elsewhere, by a producer. Except "Jest 'fore Tectlon. a lawyer has no understanding sympathy with the at Oregon "Clty that the direct primary is a failure, and he advocated going back to the convention system of nom inating. He pointed ! ouy how, through lacl of interest a the part .of the ot ers and through the multiplicity 'ijf can didates, it is possible for,1 one tenth of the voters to-nominate a candidate. Then he turned right around and -advocated a system by- which 1 per tcent , ori less of the voters would name the candidates. He wants each precinct, to elect jone delegate to a. covsty convention. ; and then let these delegates .'name the can didates 1 to 100 voters, on. the average. If Bean's system woulilJ not pave!the way for; machine politics then I d not know what- machine politics is. Our primary nominating system: may iiot be perfect, but. it is so far better than any other system .we ever had. and so i far better than.' , Senator Bean's 1 proposed system, that .

I opposed the Soldiers' Bonus Bill because the public treasury cannot stand , additional burdens at this time, and; also because the measure' which was Jammed through the House of Representatives a few weeks ago is nothing-more than a pawn broker's bill a fraud upon the e-servlce men. With! a national debt of $23,000,000,000 ; with annuel interest and running expenses aggregating $5,000,000,600; with $1,600,000,000 maturing obliga tions within the next 14. months;- with no pay ments of either iinterest or principal j trow our foreign loans, and with a deficit of at least 100, 000,000 for the current fiscal year, how can our treasury stand the additional $5,000,000,000 in volved In the passage of the soldiers' bonus bill?

These charges are false in every, particu lar. The Congressional Record shows that I sup ported the entire preparedness and war . program and practically every soldier relief measure except the soldiers' bonus bill.
