CHAS. H. MAETIN FOR OOVERNOR. TTOR governor of Oregon for the next four years, The Register-Guard recommends Charles H. Martin. . We do tbla after talking at length with etch of the major candidate!, after observing their various methods of campaign and studying their platforms and promises and their past records and general qualifications. Over' and above the party laeue which are unquestionably Involved In thle campaign, with most people, stands the question of MEN. A candid opinion Is expected. We say without reservation that we believe Charles M. Martin to be the best man. With the fortunes of the New Deal which are Involved In the Martin candidacy and the Repub lican opposition, we are not greatly ooncerned. There are many points on which we have been nd will continue to be In opposition to the Demo cratic party and the New Deal. We admire Oen. Martin's loyalty to bis national Isadora In the face of severe pressures from powerful enemies who '- would otherwise be bis supporters and friends, but there Is a point which be has not made quite plain: Whatever the political complexion of the gov ernment at Washington, close cooperation between states and the national government is going to be very Important because the great fundamental problems of unemployment and Industrial and ao . clal maladjustment are too vast to be handled by the states alone. State government therefore In volves the twofold problem of Intelligent coopera tion with Washington and careful, rational, honest management of affairs at home. When this dis tinction Is made, the paramount Issue becomee more than ever the MAN. e In eonaiderlng eandldatea for governor, It la ap parent that all can be eliminated except Martin, Zimmerman and Dunne. We have tried to visu alise the governor's office under each one. Mr. Dunne la an old-time politician, genial, good natnred, trlea to keep "In right" with everyone. It can't be done. He la famous for the number of bills ha has sponsored as a member of tbe state legislature. Some ot them, as for Instance bis $6 license fee have worked fairly well; others need In be charitably forgotten. If governor, Joe Dunne would have around him as advisers some ot the blest and beet men In Oregon, as welt as some not eo good, and the argument la heard that Dunne would "get along" because he Is a trained poli tician, but this Is not in our opinion a atrong recommendation. In Mr. Zimmerman we have a very earneat . Ban who Is harnessed to some very fantastic - Ideas tha creation of a state bank, the promotion of vast public ownership enterprises with non-Interest .bearing bonds. Without the complete co operation of his own legislature and the national government (both unlikely) the Zimmerman pro gram la fore-doomed. On his record In publlo and private life, Mr. Zimmerman atanda aa a quite worthy but Ineffectual man. Mr. Zimmerman has been called "socialist" and "communist". He Is neither ef these. Also a politician, he hss drifted with radical trends with little realisation of tbe uniform cussedness of human nature; in bis philos ophy whatever happens "mysterious Influences" can be blamed. In General Martin, we have a man who cau atand on a lifetime of publlo service and accomplish ment. Hie opponents say be la "too old." At 71, he la abler physically and mentally, than most men. Be yond the governorship ot Oregon be has no future to build, no debts to pay. In his parly are the aeual number of "hangeraon" but the situation Is extraordinary In that they need.blm worse than be needs them. He can and is quite likely to "tell them where to go." Tough-minded, forthright tn speech and action, he Is well fitted to wrestle with Oregon's msnsgement problems. A stubborn liberal In his Ideas of what the state and nation need, he represents, In our opinion, a sincere progressive program for labor, capital, the farmer and all groups In' between. Though not a "glad-bander," the general Is easy and pleasant to meet. There would be courtesy and absolute fair rlsy for all with a cause to present at Salem. As an Independent newspaper we offer this estimate of the gubernatorial situation and General Martin has our sincere recommendation. We re cognise and respect the view of the many who will differ with this opinion. As we see It the selection of a governor should be raised above all arguments of expediency. Where special favors are promised to one group, you msy be sure that rival favors have been promised to others. The best thing we know about General Martin Is that he la a very stingy promisor. As a soldier and a congressman he hss' been a distinguished public sen-ant. It Is oar belief that he will make a similar record as governor of Oregon. of the Institution as the sure-fire "Tiny." Football, of the students, by tbe students, and for the stu dents Is after all the life ot the game. Today "Skinny" Smitbers knows Jolly well that he won't even be Issued a uniform, ttnless he csn prove he's a second "Cotton" Warburton. The playera who are gathered together for California or Washington or Southern Cal or Oregon, tor that matter, are first of all outstanding footballers, and aa often aa not the choice of school Is only an accidental or secondary thing. As a rule, a friendly campus, such as Oregon's, will adopt Its footballers, but more and more the campus gets tbe feeling that Its Is only part of the "window-dressing" for the game. Gone are the. days when It was the duty of every male to "turn out tor the team." That business Is all pre arranged. Of course, everybody still likes to see the borne tesm win, but the old Intimate feeling is gone. Tbe big gate has put college football on the semi-professional plane. It Is Interesting to note that "Navy Bill's" blast wss preceded by the complaint from Los Angeles that California had been "raiding" high schools and colleges for young men who would otherwise have gone to the Uclans or Southern Cal. Tbe trouble with college football both on and off the field is that the old loyalties have gone lame. It football, and other sports, by some device can be restored to pure student standing, the old spirit will return. Until that time, the coach will be expected to bid for bis following both on and off the campus with winning teams. As we see It, "them Is the sad facts," Navy Bill. NO SUBSTITUTE FOR MANAGEMENT gXTREMELY Interesting In view of tbe "tax limitation" amendment which Is being offered to the voters in Oregon Is the report on the re sults of such legislation by the Public Administra tion Service, Chicago, a non-partisan, fact-finding agency which la regarded aa authoritative In all parts of the United States. Tbe report is the Join work of Glenn Leet, Robert N. Paige, Chilton R. Bush, all recognised as experts on public fin ance. In those states where limitation is adjusted to needs In various administrative units, results are shown to be none too good. In Ohio, Illinois, West Virginia, Indiana where rigid limitations compar able to those proposed In Oregon hsve been tried the results are described as either: Over-expansion ot debts with ultimate tax pen alties, Expensive chaos. Mayors and managers of many of West Vir ginia's most Important cities such as Falrmount, Hlntou, Huntington, Parkersburg report the cur tailment or even abandonment of such vital ser vices as fire protection, police protection, public health service. "Tax limitation In West Virginia has been a fiscal nightmare, man and John Virginia experts, A. J. Maxwell, commissioner of the North Carolina department of revenue, offers further testimony: "Our own experienoe has been quite persua sive In my mind that arbitrary limitations are un desirable, aeldom accomplish their purpose and. that the most effective means of tax limitation la a RESTRICTION ON THE USE OF CREDIT." Simon E. Leland, Illinois state tax commissioner describes the operation there as "Unintelligent and ineffective." From Robert A. Tart in Cincinnati (where city management has achieved distinguished euccess) comes protest against the Ohio plan, so much quoted by Oregon advocates. He points out thst Ducks Might Try a Little Camouflage WHAT SOME THINKERS THINK Compiled by CLAY E Vk.MVX. PajitorjfFlrstCoji J-JENRY GODDARD LEACH, edi tor of Forum magasine: "By 1031, I03.28 veterans of our Spanish.

Says Tart: "The proper way and the only effective wsy In which to limit tax levies tor debt purposes Is In LIMITATION Or THE DEBT-INCURRING POWER ITSELF." For those who are looking so hopefully to tbe Oregon plan for property Ux relief, we have one word of warning, born of Ohio experience: "BEWARE ADDED TAXES THROUGH ADDED DEBTS!" Tbe approach to lower taxes must be through curbl.-.g debt. E "NAVY BILL" ON FOOTBALL TN a speech to the University of California alumni, "Navy mil" Ingram, head coach of football on the Berkeley campus blames campus Indifference for the difficulties he has been having In turning out championship learns. The fans clslm that yon must have a winning team first and the spirit will follow, aays "Nsvy Bill," but he contends that the spirit must come first or you cannot have winning teams. This looks to us like a new and Interesting version of the old argument as to which came first, the hen or the egg. The whole trouble, aa we see it. Ilea In the whole modern collegiate football system. With a few ex ceptions, the day has gone by when "Tiny" Jones, the 200-pound tackle or "Skinny" Kmlthers the HO pound quarterback lived through his entire high school career with the hope of going down to "doer old California" or Rlwash and earning hla "C" or his "R" ss the esse msy be. "Skinny" Smitbers msy not hsve hsd a "Chlnsmsn s rhsnee" of earning bis letter, but he was as much a part OREGON IN AUTUMN VEN In Oregon, there are those who eWir that aprlng Is the "only time of year." Spring has lis virtues. There is exhlharntlon In tho rain washed air; between the showers there sre mom ents when the sun opens up radiant vlatas In the snow clad hills. But somehow, when fall comes and Indian summer-lingers, It seems as though, after all, fall Is the crowning moment In tho year. When the sun comes up. the frosty mist of early morning Is torn asldo like a veil. There la a splendor of gold and crimson among the groena and blues and browns of countryside. Dust rises from fall plowlngs. Smoke from a hundred clearing fires throws a new mantle of mystery on the hills. In farm yards, trees red with apples bend under the load, awaiting that picking which can alwaye be deferred. Times may be good or bad but there la an oppulence In Oregon autumn which speaks of promises fulfilled. It's a good deal like the old man In front of tbe faded house on the road from Amity In Me Mlnnvllle said: "I got me some dear meat a hanging yonder In the shed. And It ain't going to be none of the New Deale business this winter when I est some of them thero hogs. There's plenty of fruit and vegetables In Jsrs and there's a barrel r 'two o' cider In the shed. I don't much care who gets to he gov'nor; I reckon the sun'll rise and set on Oregon Just the asms. I come here It year ago, and I'll tell you, strsnger. If you tend It, It's a j good land like tbey said." Lswls Gannett: "Reading history, we smile at, we even admire the ec centricities of genius; but if we meet a wsrped genius In the flesh we hound him." Dr. Ralph Sookman: "We can quar antine germs, but not ideas. We can not check sedition with censorship nor paganism with prohibitions. To break up crowds of agitators with police usually serves only to scatter more widely their Ideas. Ideas must be fought with ideas." Dr. Harry Emsrsoa Foidlck: "We had better, in every realm, quit our popular soft-headed foolishness about nothing to fear. Of course, there are things to fear all the way from dia betes t" a civilisation drowned in the flood of the next war." Bishop Edgar Bisks: "In the 3 years. tli.Hi, '.II and the president of tbe Americao Tobacco company drew a salary and bonus of S2.8S7, fSOJ. an average of ,$!HK.(ittl annually. During the same period the tobacco industry paid an average yearly wage of $BI5 to its workers. No man has a right to a super-sbundance of lux uries until every man has a suffici ency for necessities." Dr. Hubert Herring: "The N. R. A. is the first national attempt to state and apply the principle -that no man llvelh to himself. It Is imperfect; it is clumsy; at points it is self -contra dictory. In its present form it will not last. But it means we are mov ing on." Raymond Moley: "I do not believe that Ipton Sinclair's plan to end pov erty will end poverty. I do not be lieve It Is sound and progressive eco nomics. I do not believe it to be con sistent with the essential policies of the New Deal." D. M, Solandt: "A reading home is the basis of democracy." Rufus Janes: "If we are ever to put together our broken world, our broken nation, we shall do it around personality. It will be because we discover tbe supreme worth of per sonality. Dr. Raymond Brooks: "The idea of a more Just social order hss arrived. But the obstacles are primarily men tal attitudes hate, fear, greed and ignorance. Thomas Murray, secretary of the Scottish Temperance Alliance savs that in Russia "the advertising of liquor la prohibited and vodka shops merely intimated 'Vodka sold here. sometimes sdding 'but you sre advised not to buy it. " Dr. Kieffer: "Approximator one- half of the population of the United States is definitely related to some church. While the population of the country Increased 22 fold betweei? KMK) and 1P-K4. the church member ship in the same period increased SO fold." Dr. Luther A. Welgle, desn of Tale Divinity school: "The profit motive Is the key log in the jsm'that Is now hlncklnr human prorresa." SAGE OF EUGENE To tbe Editor: Eugene, Ore. "I ae, by th' pa pers th gangsters and high class bank bandits are tryin' t' stand in with th' lawyers on plckin' up some easy money but it seems t me they are kind o' egotistical" said Mel .Moots today. Mr. "Ciabler' out near Creswell way has something bright to say he thinks a candidate should test his pate before be strips for fray, Oiibler should be fit to test these many men forlorn, for like brass band of one piece he toots his little horn.

COUNTY UNIT PUGENE, Ore. (To the Editor) Mt the coming election the people ot Lane County will have a chance to vote on tbe County unit school ays tern. Briefly stated, the county as a whole elects a board of directors, the directors elect a superintendent who has the authority to run all of the county district schools, hiring and firing all the teachers and janitors, fixing their salaries, look after main taining the buildings, etc. This plan is put forward as an efficiency mea sure, alleging the same smount ot service to be had st less expense and presumably lower taxes. If all the tax reducng plans and promises given in the course of -campaigns had materalir-ed, the people of Oregon would be receiving dividends instead of celling for tax relief. The tax saving schemes remind me of the motorist who bought every gas saving device he could get ahold of, he finally saved so much gas when running, he bad to stop every twenty miles and bail some of it out. Believe this yarn? No? You might just as well believe it If you expect the ef ficiency gas saving beg your par don, meant to Boy: efficiency tax saving county unit plan to help yon. To get an idea as to tbe value of the plan we can take a look at Lincoln county, where they have had this plan in operation for a number of years. The fiuancial .conditions are poorer than they were in Lane County, so what s tbe use. Under the present setup no notice able reduction in taxea is to be ex pected, here is one of the reasons: large item in each budget be it county, state, or federal is the aum set aside as interest payment; the rate of interest is the Biime be it so- called good times or depression times, the farmer may be selling way below cost of production, the usurers part remains high, the wageworker may receive lesa than the cost of living. bnt the interest rate remains station ary, there Is a constant drip, drip, drip, of the life blood of tbe nation into the catch basin (banks) of the few. thats why the majority of tbe people are afflicted with financial anaemia. The remedy of this condition is government banking, the state owned bank aa s first step. Now, while it is not ery likely that taxes can be reduced, the tax load could be shifted from those less able to pay to those more able to pay, a properly adjusted income tax would turn the trick very nicely. Direct taxes, that is taxes levied by the authorities look so heavy to the people, because their incomes sre so light, made light by the collecting of indirect taxes levied by private concerns. For instance the private owners of elavators mills, packing plants slaughter houses. Canneries exact a tribute of about $2400 per year per average farmer. Likewise the private owners of factories exact tribute from the wageworker of about J5000 a year. Remedy for this state of affairs is the social owner ship of the means of production and distribution. JOSEPH WICKS TAX PROBLEMS UGENE, Ore. (To the Editor) Now that we have been fully ad vised as to the demoralising effect of a 20 mill tax limit on real property. s regards schools and all other pub lic affairs and the admission by all parties concerned that real property s carrying more than its fair share of the tax burden, why not try and find some other source of Income whereby everyone who receives these benefits will contribute to some ex tent in maintaining these institutions thst are s necessary public expense. notn California and Washington have s property tax on automobiles. note that Dean Gilbert in the Ore- goolan of October 1 eays that influ ential owners would probably defeat such s discriminatory tax. but the ordinary person might think the pres ent law wnirh taxes the poor man witn a siuo cor Just the same as the msn whose csr cost him from one to three thousand dollars was hsrdlr The property tax on a new to California for the first two years is snout the ssme ss our previous high license was. after that it is less snd goes out of effect I think the fifth year.
