Frankness Lacking
President Coolidge’s latest statement on the
presidential nominatibn leaves the situation about
as it was. He has expressed his displeasure at' a
campaign through the mails to force his nomination,
but this is only in line with his previous declaration.
He still fails to state that he will refuse the honor
if offered. He has merely discouraged work in his
behalf.
•
White there is no denying Mr. Coolidge’s right
to say as little as he pleases on this subject, it is not
necessary for him to maintain this attitude of hajrs-
tery in the matter. A little frankness would be more
creditable even if it,ip to rip more than to admit
that he is undecided as to his action in case of an
attem pt
draft him.
;
iWho make great mysteries out of com
mon place thipgs are numerous in every community.
Instead of keeping silent they drop hints of some
impending happening oft winch they cannot speak.
CMii(ge might, almost be placed in the same class.
In placetof remaining silent or making a frank state-
utent_ tye respr|8| to ambiguous statements which may
be construed to mean almost anything.
»
For onto this president* who.has a reputation
for silence, has said too much—or else he has said
t bo. little.

Salem rtiportd Governor Patterson is about to
appoint a commission fo draft a state building code,

like to suggest that thiq coramiseion Work with the
highway commission to see that.building.code helps
to'protect the future oF our great highways.
During the recent discussions of the McKenzie
highway'widening’ sMURthm we made bold to sug-'
geSt that the erttire controversy might be settled by
establishing building lines alo^g the road Which
would protect the proposed > eighty-foot develop*
ment against encroachment and sake the expense
of an immediate clearing of the right o f,y a y with
its resultant inconvenience to property owners.
In the state building code there should be clear-
cut provision for supervision bft all permits on or
near state highways. Millions,

of buildings which some day may £ave to be moved
back or destroyed as roads are, widened.—Eugene

Guilty Escape

those birds are mighty careful of their ojm hides.
That is 000, of the worse features o*f labor difc-j
turbaneeS. The men who bring about the trouble
and keep it going never suffer any hardships there
from. They not only don’t get shot by soldiers but
they don’t lose any jobs and their wives and chil
dren don’t feel the pinch of want.
If there was some way to provide that the pay
of agitators stopped with the beginning of a strike
and only began again after the matter was settled,
there would be a decided falling off in labor troubles.
'As it is now it seems to require about so many
strikes to provide jobs for all the strike leaders.
