NO "RED” 18 WANTED — ■ The Oregon Voter, which has not yet announced its support of Gen Martin, democratic candidate for gov ernor, but in its editorial comment! continually leans that way, appears to believe that communiât Pete Zim merman may help Joe Dunne, repub lican candidate, by hfe (Zimmer man’s) non-primary entrance into the gubernatorial race. - . As there are about twice as many república» registered in Oregon as there are democrats, furnishing a much larger source of supply of ultra radical voters, it would seem that Zimmerman’s non-primary entry would help Martin more than it would Donne. Party ties rest so lightly, however, that anything may happen in Novem ber, although it is unthinkable that a Red can be the choice of as enlight ened a commonwealth as Oregon. : Following is the way the Voter reasons as to why Martin may be defeated: Wild Pete Zimmerman is such a frothy ranting radical that he is not likely to win enough support to elect him governor. Yet he may be a real factor in the result. For, with Port land Journal shouting day by day that its candidate, Gen. Martin, favors most of the radical policies espoused by Zimmerman and formerly espoused by Mahoney, it fe conceivable that conservative republicans will run to Dunne in November even as so many of them ran to him in May. With only Dunne against Gen. Martin, Martin would have a chance to win tens of thousands of conservative re publican vote*. With Wild Pete dally on the front page of the Oregonian and Gen. Martin on the front page of the Journal, both as champions of public ownership and various other New Deal extravagancies, and with News-Telegram giving its vigorous support to Dunne and the Oregonian defending him, Dunne may be recog nized as the one place for conserva tives to go if they want to be sure of beating Wild Pete. Zimmerman’s radicalism will be confirmed to conservatives not only by his own harangues but by the support he will receive. Ho will not only be supported by Sam Brown, Ray Gill, Mort Tomkins, Doe Slaughter and th* rank and Ale of the Grange but by the radicals among Organised Labor and by the rank and filo of members of the Socialist and Communist parties. TABLOIDS By W. 8. Sickefe Evidence of the return of prosperity is to be seen in the fact that the rail* of the Southern Pacific track« through Coquille are far more shiny than they were a year or more ago. At that time they were streaks of ruiX" Until recently it has been the prac tice of the publk to make a highway of that part of the Southern Pacific’s \ real estate that lies immediately north of the atetion building. Now, in the way that leads off from the Coast highway, a barrier has been set up by the railroad company con sisting of a series of »o’ts made from steel rails. The moat valiant truck driver will now hesitate before try ing to smash his way through these posts. Recently a truck driver came near running over Agent Frank Pook when he stepped from the north door of the station on to the company’s property. On top of that the driver of the truck gave him a bawling out for getting in his way. Coquille is not yet ready to lose this accommo dating and officiant official. It ia not intended to infer that the barrier was put up for Mr. Book’s personal safety, but it may nevertheless be helpful along that line. Coquille will be will ing to lose Pook only when its loss will be his gain through promotion to greater responsibility for the company he has served for so many years. An automobile moving at a speed of 80 milea an hour covers a distance of 88 feet in a second. Thu* it becomes a potential projectile of death weigh- ing *n where from 1500 to several thousand pounds. A man would not ba permitted to walk along a highway with several sticks of dynamite in his pocket, no matter how expert he might bo in the careful Handling of that explosive. As a matter of fact it is less dangerous to the public than the automobile travelling at an ex cessive speed. The record shows that excessive speed is the chief cause of automobile fatalities, but their num ber continues to increase in spite of all regulatory laws. It may yet be pecessary for government to go into the automobile factories and place a limit on speed within the mechanism itself. The trouble ish’t due to every one being really in a hurry. It’s the sport of the thing. But all other iports are under uome sort of control -hat gives safety to the puMic.

Outside of the Bible, says William Lyons ~ Phelps, the words, “To be or not to be” are the six most famous words in all of the literature of the world. Elucidating upon the thought of Mr. Phelps an editorial writer in Portland Oregonian says: ‘Tn these words are the mystery, the beauty, the tragedy and the yearning of life and death. They cannot but ring down through the ages, until the last ice age has mown the last city, and man aits on the ruins of the Empire State building, wondering as he stares at the sky, *To be or not to b9f’ ” Mr. Phelps hasn’t told us what words in the Bible he regards as more famous, but doubtless there are many.

The Oregon oupreme court has up held the validity of the legislative act of 1933 regulating advertising by dentists. In the opinion of the court, written by Justice Bolt, it is pointed cut that 32 states of the union make it unprofessional conduct for a dentist to make any advertising statement« of a character to deceive or mislead the public, while many ntates have laws covering the subject of advertising similar to that adopted by Oregon. More than 1000 Oregon motorists are now barred from driving ears on the highways through revocation of their licenses, it has been revealed by the state department. During May alone 81 drivers’ licenses were re voked for various law violations, principally reckless and drunken driving. Resignation of George H. McMor- ran as a member of the Oregon Li qu«r control, „ccmmtesion _ __ fe ______ believed here to be merely the forerunner of a general shake-up in the commis sion’s personnel. McMorran’s resig nation was no surprise. ■ In fact it had been expected and was freely predicted in connection with the recent controversy between the gov- ernor and the comm io« ion over at- tempted «alary increases for em- ....- ployees of the commission. At that time, it will be remembered. Governor Meier sharply rebuked the commis sion for the salary increases and dl- rected that they proceed to set their organisation in order and give closer attention to the introduction of econ omies- in overhead expenses. The commkvion countered with a letter to the governor in which the execu tive was charged with “unwarranted interference" in the affairs of the li quor control board. That al) has not been haisnonious in the liquor control organisation has been known for some time. Internal friction has ex isted almoat from the creation of the organisation. First outward evi dence of it, however, esme with the resignation of Aaron Holts as the commiraion’e purchasing agent, fol lowing a tiff between Holts and Geo. Sammis, liquor administrator, fol lowing premature ptfblicstion of a retail liquor price list prepared by Holts and which Sammis promptly disowned as coming from the com mission. As McMorran’s resignation was no surprise, neither would it be mirprlsing if Alex Barry should fol low the lead of the commission's chairman, and quit. Nor would it be surprising If Sammis should sever his connection with the comm'oiion “by request” from the governor's office. With the approach of the season of extreme Are hazards Governor Meier has availed himself of his authority to throw additional safeguards around Oregon’s valuable timber lands. Campens in all national forest», ex cept the Biuslaw, as well as in pri vate timber lands adjoining there for ests must now secure a fire permit as well as carry a shovel, axe and water bucket for fire fighting purposes in case the need arises. Smoking is forbidden in these timbered areas ex cept on surfaced highwaa. A few areas have been closed to all entry, in cluding the Mud Creek area of the Mt. Hood National Forest and the Hillock burn area northeast of Mo lalla. State Forester Cronemiller, tn recommending the closures and camp ing restrictions, pointed out that dur ing the past week more than 20 small fires had been reported in Oregon for ests. riOiMa í -Í i 'Ü^ c , or r * t - *
