By W illiams ereff a t tha Ashland, Oregon Postofffce as Second Class M a ll Mattes 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. Q e o o T í F u H A iw T IT l , ?

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 forfeited in a similar manner. *■ 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. 10 Years Äg< 20 Years Ag 30 Years A g Î { Î e
