Sickels Editor iChwpman of Oregon Voter doe* not approve Portland Oregon- ion’s war pictures feature. I do ap prove it, thus showing conclusively that great minds will clash occasion ally. Mr. Chapman’s, trenchant type writer went far afield when it pro duced the following: “The effect of these pictorial dis plays is to precipitate an anti-war hysteria akin to th* cowardice which make* the weak the prey of th* brutal and the bully. War itself is bad enough, without building up a back ground of flight from grim reality. Instead of supporting those who are manly enough to try to defend us, we will be withdrawing our support from them, sacrificing their lives in vain and permitting ourselves to be over run and outraged With impunity.” The people do not make or bring •bout war between nation*. This is the work of srif-seeking politicians, . manufacturers of munition* and war supplies, and by others who expect to make money out of it. in order that the world may be safe for democra cy. The campaign slogan, “He kept us out of war,” wae the most cruel lie ever handed to a peace-loving peo ple. The stated purpose of the Oregon ian, in printing the war picture«, ia to create a national sentiment against war—that utterly senseless thing— in order that the people cannot again be fooled into one. Opposition to war is righteousness; and righteousness doesn’t know what cowardice means. An invader wpuld hesitate to put such a national attitude to the test. ’I i I •* i ? A Of course we all understand that polities and not love for the veterans is the force behind the proposal to hand out the 02,000,000,000 cash bonus, which means paying in full the adjusted compensation certifi cates. If it could be arranged to make this payment final, *H would be well, and th* country would be sat isfied and money ahead in the long run. After this billion is squandered, billion* more will be doled out, not at the request of the veterans them selves, in the first instance, but at the suggestion from time to time by politicians in congress who want votes. It will then be easy for the various veteran*’ organisation* to fall in line. They simply wouldn’t be human if they didn’t, and I wish to honor them by saying that they prob ably would not initiate such a move ment, should they agree to accept the present proposed payment a* final. However, it ia the history of this country that these pension matters last a long time. The war of 1812 was fought over 112* year* ago, but war department record* disclose that seven widows of veterans of that war are still drawing pensions. ■ » I 'ix “Ms Getting folks to join a Study Club is not so easy these days, the reason being that there is a Dark Brown Study Club under every hat—if it has a hat v*' 1 While the loss of life incident to the army’s attempt to carry the air mail is greatly regretted, official Washington ha* gained the startling knowledge that the army had neither the equipment nor properly trained men. It was also shown that they were not paid sufficiently for such work and were not allowed extra money to pay their living expenses while on the trip*. Eventually all of the pilots would have starved to death whHo army red tape was being unwound to take care of the matter. Victims of gold braid bragging, were those whose lives were lost Let us hope their supreme sacrifices were not in vain.

Granges Endorsing Sales Tax By secret ballot, Mary’* River Grange meeting at Philomath voted almost three to one to support the Emergency one and one-half per cent Sales Tax at the May primaries on the ground* that it will keep schools going and assure prompt tax reduc tions on property which is now carry ing 80 per cent of the state’* tax load. The stand for the Sales Tax is in direct opposition to the recommenda tions of State Grange Master Gill. Portland seed merchant, and reflects the rapid swing to the Sale* Tax among Benton county farmers, as circulation of facts continues to “de bunk” the hysterical flood of condem nation that baa been used to becloud the issue. C. L. Tallman, county as sessor, estimate* the tax will reduce Benton County property taxes by 176,000 or approximately 20 per cent if the referendum against the tax is defeated in May. i .j In his decision to retire from politics—announced over the radio Saturday night—Governor Meier is said by frienda at the capital to have subordinated his personal ambition* and inclination* to the demands of his family, his physician and hi* business associate*. While the governor, him self, and for the sake of a few of hi* appointees would have liked another chance at the governorship, and de layed announcement as long as possi ble because of thi* desire, his decision is said to have been influenced by the wishes of those outside of his imme diate political circle. In effacing himself from the guber natorial race, Meier ha* left the field wide open for a free-for-all scramble for the politically ambitious and hi* announcement is expected to be fol lowed by the entry of several new as pirants for the republican nomination. With Meier out of the picture, there is left in the present line-up no one to whom Budget Director Hanzen. Pur chasing Agent Einsig, or Utilities Commissioner Thomas can turn with any reasonable hope for a continua tion of their lucrative jobs beyond next January. Both Brown and Burke ’are bitterly anti-Hansen and anti Einsig, although friendly to Commis sioner Thoma«. Charlie Hall, a long time friend of the budget director, might be willing to save Einsig’e scalp if elected, although he could not be expected to enthuse over Thomas, but Hall is not regarded a* a real con limtion. Neither is tender for the there any great enthusiasm in the Meier cabinet over the candidacy of Frank Lonergan. With jobs paying from 06000 to 07200 a year at stake, these Meier appointee* can be expect ed to go the limit in their attempt to save their own political scalps, In thia connection th* rumor timt Thomas, himself, may take up th* torch laid down by Meier, has again been revived. While Thomas ha* re peatedly said that he was not a can didate it ha* been pointed out that he never has said that he might not be ceme a candidate if the opportunity was ripe, as it seem* to be at this time and an announcement of Thomae’ entry into the republican guberna torial primary would net he at all A BLOSSOMING TREE Out of the bark a miracle— Nothing, most certainly, leas— Color from lack of it, light out of dark, From the tree’s heart, loveliness.

The wonder of life out of death! —Frances Holmstrom surprising. x While th* anti-Meier faction of th* so-called progressive wing of the re publican party already has two can didate» in the gubernatorial race in the person* of Senator Sam Brown of Marion coui^y and Senator W. E. Burke of Yamhill county it is a well known fact that there ia still a search on for yet another “true progressive” who can consolidate the shattered ranks and command enough support not only to win the republican nom ination but to carry the republican standard to victory in the -November election. The candidacies of Brown and Burke, both rabid apostles of cheap power through public owner ship of power resources and distribu tion systems, and both just as rabidly anti-Meier now- as they * Were pro Meier four years ago, have split the progressive ranks wide open. Brown, ■n a statement two weeks ago, charged that he had been “hired’’ in to the Portland convention under a misrepresentation of the fact* and announced that he proposed to con tinue hi* fight for the republican nomination “till hell freezes over” in spite of Burke and his friends. To which charge friend* of the Yam hill senator counter with a statement to the effect that Brown went into the Portland convention with his eye« wide open, that he had agreed to the convention at a previous gathering of progressive leader* and that Bena- tor Zimmerman, a Brown supporter, had personally hand-picked 42 of th* ielegates to the progressive conven tion which resulted in the endorse ment of (Burke, while Burke himself had selected only 2« of the 100 dele gates and the other 32 had been se lected by A. W. Orton, of Portland, a backer of Rufus Holman. In refutation of Brown’s charges that the purpose of the Portland Coq- vention had been misrepresented to him, Burke’s friends cite the letter setting forth the call for the gath ering which teiecifically seta out as the purpose of the convention “that they might act in unison both in re gard to a platform and a candidate for governor." While the dispute between Brown and Burke continues, progressive leaders are understood to be bearing down on Ray W. Gül, master of the state grange, and Rufus Holman, state treasurer, in an effort to per suade one of them to atop into the breach and possibly eave the day for the progressive wing. Gill so far has refused to yield to the lure of * term In the governorship and Hol man in a recent statement insisted that he was not a candidate but here again, a* in the case of Commwsioner Thomas, it is pointed out that he ha* never said that he might not become a candidate under proper circum stances, which many believe to have now arranged themselves propitious ly for a renunciation of his earlier stand and ‘Holman’s announcement as a candidate is still well within the range of poeafciilties. « ♦ <» 'c *1 KELVIINATOR t THE REFRIGERATOR WITH A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING new Kelvinator which to chronru really “4 refrigerator* in 1,” truly are a j< gives you “a place for everything.” the Cri Properly spaced shelve* take care of Section general items.

MOUNTAIN STATES POWER COMPANY Oregon’s share, on a population ba sis, will amount to approximately 82,860,000 or 011 per school child. This measure, Howard said, had no connection with emergency relief provisions also before Congress and which are designed to enable bank rupt achool districts to carry on dur ing the present school year. Howard said that he had been assured that Oregon would share in the distribu tion of this fund on the same basis as other state* and formal applica tion has already been made for 0250,- 000 of this federal relief fund for this state. Reports received by How ard from coenty school superinten dent« indicate that some 50 Oregon rural schools will close their doors thi* month and next, unless outside aid is forthcoming while 400 other rural school districts are more than a year behind in their warrant pay ment» and faced with financial diffi culties. anJ mord K a M r * «Tor*« fc/rfferoteJ Paltry Sfit- ■ the late special legislative session When the anti-sales taxer* com became effective last Baturday, hav pleted their referendum petitions— ing successfully survived the 90-day with some 8000 signatures to spare— period of grace since the adjournment the presence of five measures on the of the «cession.
