WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT
•
The ■controv’ersy that rages between the Oregon
Journal and the Morning Oregonian over qualifica
tions of their rival candidates for the position of
/United States senator has nothing at all to do with
the campaign issues but is merely diverting by-play,
believes the editor of the Medford Mail Tribune. That
seems to be the sensible way of looking at the matter.
In the heat of the campaign numerous false argu
ments are advanced and undue emphasis is often plac
ed on various statements that have little or nothing
to do with the real decisions to be made by the
voters on November 2. The real issue, as the* Mail
Tribune editor sees it, and he is dead right, is whetfier
the voters of Oregon want a republican senator at
Washington or a democratic senator.
Neither the congress ndr the president can ac
complish much without the support of the other. More
effective national progress will be made when both
are of the same party faith. There is at present a
republican congress working with a republican presi
dent but the margin in the senate is slight and elec
tion
a. democrat or two may turn the scale and
give the senate to the democrats.
The issue comes down to whether the people
of Oregon want to back up and support President
Coolidge and bis policies or whether they do not.
If they do, they will vote for Steiwer, nominee of the
president’s party for senator, and if they do not, they
will vote for Haney because a vote for Haney will
be a vote of repudiation of the president. That is
what the campaign is all about.
FIRST AND LAST
Under the Housewive’s Council Constitutional
Amendment, we have a small number of inexperi
enced enthusiasts, trying to plunge the state into
hydro-electric and irrigation projects, far beyond the
financial ability of the state to cover. It would be
risky enough, even if some of the sagacious business
and industrial citizenship of Oregon were behind it.
which is not the situation.
The payment of all financial burdens would be
guaranteed by the taxpayers, with no assurance of
capable management or prudence in administration.
In case of\ failure through mismanagement, inexper
ience or other causes, the losirwonW not be io the pro
moters of the change in our constitution, but to the
taxpayer, Farmers are being urged to vote for this
sweeping alteration of our Constitution,'but they
would be the first to feel the burden of added taxes
and last to experience any benefits from the scheme
if it were attempted.
Last to be placed on the ballot, but first in im
portance, it appears at the tail-end of the voters’
pamphlet. I nfortunately not all of tliose who vote
arc aware of the risk involved and have not given
the amendment the consideration it should have. It
it important because of the dangerous provisions, its
menace to the financial stability of the state.
Every voter owes it to himself and hsi property
interests to carfully scrutinize this Constitutional
change. Every laboring man whose, job depends on
established industry should avoid lieii^g led into the
mistake of voting for it. The promises of the politi
cally ambitious circle engineering the scheme fall as
flat as the gold-bricks they resemble. The amend
ment should be read to learn its unlimited, sweeping
bestowal of privileges on a political board of inex
perienced men find women. The Arise voter will take
care to vote against’ this amendment.

She liked the letter because as a

cause the country to pause a moment and wonder.
Hardh a day passes but tile newspapers contain

Near Woodland, Cal., no less than nine people lost
their lives when a bus and a train met on the railroad
crossing Near Denver the lives of six persons were

M hut right have automobile drivers on railroad
crossings! \\ hv is it that automobile drivers will dis
pute the right of wav of a train traveling on its own
tracks set m the right of way of its owners?
The automobile is not limited to a single track.
It can be driven in any direction at any time. This
m not possible for a railroad train. It must travel over
the track that is laid for it.
When auto drivers learn they cannot dispute the
ngiit of waj of railroads, and that they must see to it
that the track ahead of them that they are about to
cross is clear, we will have less fatalities at railroad
and highway intersections.
The automobile lias hard pressed the railroads
in more wavs than one, but they must concede to them
the right of way over their own tracks. That seems
to be something autoists have so far failod to Igirn.
