PLAYING POLITICS
It was recently brought to light
that County Clerk Crichton was ap
propriating to his own use money
taken in his office as fees. The
matter was eported to the county
court and Mr. Crichton pleaded
guilty to the indictment. He pro
fessed ignorance of the law and
agreed to make restitution. When
first questioned regarding the omount
he had collected stated that $150.00
would cover all. Later, when the
matter had been gone into more
thoroughly the clerk agreed to repay
to the county the sum., of.. $1,000.
That was agreeable to the court, and
Mr. Crichton will pay, in installments
a balance of $850.00.
The whole proceeding seems to us
to be a piece of political work. We
have been informed that the taking
of fees by the clerk, who did so with
out intending to defraud the county,
but who thought those fees were his
due, had been known for some time.
Proper authorities failed to take
action in the matter until Mr. Crich
ton had filed as a candidate to suc
ceed himself, thus stamping the mat
ter as a piece of political trickery.
Whether it will work to the de
triment of the clerk remains to be
Been, at any rate those who were in
the "know" in the matter are
equally guilty with Mr. Crichton,
for it was their duty to make it
known that he was acting contrary
to law; and to have iniisted on a
cessation of such practice and proper
restitution earlier in the game.
The Times is in receipt of a set of
resolutions, unsigned and accom
panied with an explanation, Lsued by
the "Oregon Electragists," whatever
or whoever it may be, voicing disap
proval of the practice of the Oregon
Agricultural college entering the
commercial electrical field.
The resolution contains a "Be It
Known," seven "Whereases" and one
"Be It esolved" as well as one "Be
It Further Resolved,"' in telling its
story of the college doing a little
electrical work. . Whoever tponsored
the resolution failed to take cogni
zance of the fact that the college
teaches electricial engineering as well
as the various .phase? of elec
trical work practical as well as theo
retical, and that the wont done along
thote lines by sfuclerts of the course
i.': part of thuir education.
Each U. S. battleship is equipped
with appliance fur Caching elec
tricity to mf.-iibrs of the crew. A
competent corps of instructors is
employed, but we fail to hear any
knock against the crew doing wiring
and constructive work aboard those
ships. Why not include the navy
in the resolutions, petition our mem
bers of congress and senators to use
their influence toward doing away
with all things pertaining to the
electrical trade, and have those mem
bers legislate to the end that all such
work be delegated to the "Oregon
TvliiMrnirinfii?
When a student so far forgetta
himself as to invite his teacher into
the hall to aettlu a controversy with
fists, then is the time for that stu
dent to be nut upon and taught his
place. Teachers generally are not
piven to making arbitrary rule;;
they usually employ the most reason
able tactics in governing their
school, and those who refuse to abide
whole school is to be subserved,
marily expelled, if the good of the
by the school rules should be sum
Discipline is as necessary in the
schools as n the army. Without dis
cipline riot would run rampant and
he effect of teaching go for naught.
Pupils should not be upheld in an
tagonizing rulej of schools, and the
ichool boards should see to it that
juch rules are lived up to if the fa
culty is to have peace and harmony
n the schools.

A STATEMENT
by
GENERAL MOTORS
E
-T is the policy of Gen
eral Motors to maintain continuous improvement
in every one of its car divisions, with no interrup
tion in production.
This means that you enjoy the benefits of
new engineering developments promptly just as
soon as they have been thoroughly tested on the
1245-acre Proving Ground.
It means that you can noiv order the new
Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobilc, Oakland, Buirk,
LaSalle, Cadillac, or GMC Truck, and receive
immediate delivery.
Behind this policy of continuous improvement
Is an organization so widespread and resourceful
that it can make and sell quality automobiles
more economically than any automobile manu
facturer in the world.
In the north and south it logs and mills its
own lumber. In the cast it makes its own ball
bearings and radiators. In the middle west it
produces its own plate glaes.'Its plants are busy
in 33 important American cities.
From almost 5,000 suppliers, its materials are
obtained steel by the hundreds of thousands of
tons wire by the tens of thousands of miles
upholstery by the acre nuts, bolts and washers
by the millions. Its sales and service take place
through 33,000 dealers. More than 275,000 families
look directly to General Motors for their liveli
hood almost a million and a half men, women
and children in every community in the land.
Meaning so much to so many, General Motors
has felt a supreme obligation to look ahead.
Are there methods by which General Motors
cars can be better built to better serve?
Are there new ideas which can increase the
Utility and pleasure and safety of motoring?
Are there new materials which can add to
owner satisfaction?
Such are the questions that all General Motors
engineers have always asked. The answers have
made it possible, year after year, to offer an in
creasing measure of beauty in design, modern
performance, riding comfort and distinct style.
Thus in every price class, from Cadillac to Chevro
let, purchasers are constantly benefiting from the
General Motors policy of progress.
