THERE ARE GOOD ONES These is something in the unseemly rush of candidates for the Republican nomination for governor that is not particularily pleasing to the average voter There is no criticism of the type of ambition that encourages men to wish to receive the highest honor the state can bestow’, but there is dissatisfaction with the tendency to magnify the persistent advice of a few friends until it seems a general call from the entire citizenry. There is no candidate who is sufficiently informed about the entire state to be qualified to fill the position so far. All must base their campaigns on sectional interest or on some particular phase of the public interest that is too small a part of the whole Some will prate about cheaper power, important, but not big enough a question to decide the governorship, some will advocate road development, some timber, and all will promise luwer taxes. There are men in the state whose knowledge of the state is wide enough to encompass all classes, all sections, men who know the problems of the laborer in the cities, the disiress of capital, the worries of the wheat and stock men, the needs of the small farm er and irrigation project resident, the small business men. None of them are running for governor. Members of Meier’s administration are now free to advance their own political fortunes since the governor has withdrawn Among them are good men. There is Leslie Scott, who would probably have to be drafted but who knows every hamlet in the state. There is Willard Marks who wojld grace the office and who is balanced in viewpoint. Our own Earl Snell, if he chooses to run for governor would be capable of state wide interest Let us have candidates we can be enthusiastic about instead of apolo* getic about --------- O--------- DO WE WANT A FAIR? The fair board would like to be assured of the position of the people of the county on this matter Since 1930 Sherman county’s fall season has had to plug along without exhibits of prize winning stocks or outside entertainment of the kind usually provided by a fair There is evidence that a county fair would be welcomed. The fair board receives its share of the money from the dog and horse racing in the state and it would be possible to put on a small fair without digging into the taxpayers pocket to do so if patronage was average Premiums would have to cut, but every fair has done as much and exhibitors expect lower prizes. A three year lay off is enough., Why not hold a fair? We have had for the past week cause for even the most dour or dignified to greet his acquaintances with a pleasant remark about the beauty of March sunshine. Even this weather (annot please every one, however, for men with wheat in the ground want it to rain. ------- o-------- If the merchant jacks his price up to high he cannot sell to a great majority of persons who have small incomes, it he refuses to raise the price the NR A gets him. ------- o------- The representatives gathered in the lower house of congress gave evi- <kvce Monday that they feared tho voter more tihan they feared the president. By a vote of nearly 300 to 124 they parsed the bill to pay the soldiers adjusted compensation certificates right away instead Of waiting- until 1945. Payment would be made in green backs and the mov* would be an inflation of the currency. The coming nominations are .sup posed to have something to do with the vote and xv*hile representatives desire to stand by the president they wish to remain in position to do so and the heavy veteran vote is some thing to be considered between now and Novmber. It is generally under stood that th? senate will defeat the bill or change it so that iMir. Patman, himself, would never recognize it. In case the senate doesn’t do the killing the president has promised to veto tho measure. Ai my fliers were kept on the ground the first of the week by an order by President Roosevelt, who declared that routes would be cut to fewer in number so that flying could be made safer for fliers. The army is not equipped for night flying or some of the oth?r feats normally per formed by private company fliers. The person or persons in the adminr iftration who advised th'e president that the army could carry the mail will likely be on the spot soon. Governor Meier announced Satur day night at the end of his last broad cast giving a report of his activties during his incumbency that he would not be a candidate for the job again. Guesses have been numerous since the beginning of the campaign as to his intentions and it is perhaps safe to say that over half of the guesses have been wrong as it was generally supposed that he would run again, either as a regular republican or as an independent. The self removal of the chief executive leaves the field open to the ambitions of many oth-1 ers who have been nuturmg political hopes for some years. . . *■ Grass Valley Debaters Lose To Redmond Grass Valley debaters went down to defeat in their debate with the Redmond High school last Friday al though listonéis to the arguments contend that the difference between the two teams was slight if any al all was perceptable.
