SALEM, Ore., Sept. 21. — (Q>)
— The right on an independent
candidate to place a slogap .pn the
ballot opposite his name was
argued in the supreme court yes­
terday afternoon In the case of
Robert N. Stanfield against Sec­
retary of State Kozer.
Stanfield, an independent can­
didate for United States senator,
brought mandamus proceedings
against Kozer to force him to put
the slogan, “freedom From Dicta­
torship,’’ after his name. Kozer
refused to do so on the basis of
a ruling by the attorney general
four years ago. Stanfield bases
his fight on an old statute which
allows slogans of not more than
three words.

,. F o r the past four weeks we have been hearing
idle talk about Ashland being almost ready for the
wrap-heap.
. A'
. ,
A few railroad families have moved, are moving
and will move to Klamath Falls, Eugene and else­
where along the S outhert Pacific line.
When this news beoaite general about the c ity , a

land’s funeral dirge. Ash-
land was going back
they wailed. The town
would soon be dead. All ope for progress and de-
velopment Was lo st
But a stem and conclusive rebuke was given
yesterday to those who painted gloomy word pictures
of Ashland’s future.
Ashland’s public school registration showed a
satisfactory increase over the registration of one year
ago. This increased enrollment was approximately
ten percent.
Ashland is not going baek. The increased school
registration proves th at beyond the peradventure of
a doubt.
Instead, Ashland is forging ahead. You cannot
escape cold, unassailable facts. The calamity howlers
can wail to their h e a r ts content, but they cannot
contravene the fact th at the public school registration
shows a desirable increase.
No fu rth er proof is needed of Ashland’s favored
place in the sun. Had the public school registration
remained stationary or «bowed some decrease there
might have been some egnse for alarm. But school
records disclose the opposite to-be true.
The railroad families have gone, and still Ash­
land is better situated then it was a year ago today.
New famines have come ffhro to rear their homes in
surroundings which cannot be bettered.
True, Ashland regrets the leave-taking of the
railroad men and their families. They have been sub­
stantial eitizens and we regret mightily to lose them.
But Ashland has not been dependent upon the
Southern Pacific shops for its existence. It has too
many natural, worth-while advantages. And i t ’s about
time the crepe-hangers start to realize that Ashland
is growing weary of their plaints. W e’re getting
along too nicely to pay any heed to the moutliings of
this “ I Told You So” fraternity.
