It’s Like Having the Measles!
Governor Charles H. Martin seeks to
enforce rigid economy in Oregon admin­
istrative affairs and he thereby is mak­
ing himself as welcome as a bad case
of measles at the Dionne nursery. Every­
one wants the governor to save the tax­
payers money, but not on him.
The picture in Oregon is indicative of
the national trend. Taxpayers, straining
under an impossible load, want the bud­
get balanced on one hand, and federal
help on the other. And what their right
hands keep a secret from their lefts may
be the seat of so much dissatisfaction
with local, state and national adminis­
trations. We all admit dentists are a ne­
cessity, but how w’e can hate that guy
when he applies forceps on our most
prominent canine and lies, “Now this
won’t hurt a bit!”
Governor Martin was elected by an
overwhelming ballot on a platform of
rigid economy, consolidation of commis­
sions which overlap, and elimination of
administrative wastes. It sounded good
at the time, and we all realized Mr. Mart­
in certainly understood the plight of the
property owner, business man and the
worker, and what had to be done about
it. But when it comes time for him to do
k -v the actual paring, Salem is overrun with
cliques, lobbies and protests. “Yeah, we
want YOU to lower state operating ex­
penses, but not on IJS,” is the chorus.
However, the Miner supported General
Martin as a candidate because this paper
thought he was the better man for the
job. We liked his principles, his tenden­
cies. It is reasonable to assume most
other voters who cast their ballot for the
present governor felt about the same
way. But ah! Ye Fickle Voters! One day
ye weigh mightily heavy questions of
state and vote accordingly, and then,
when it comes time to back up your de-
The WORLD and YOU
By D. E. NOURSE
While protests are being voiced
against old age pensions and re­
lief programs, it might be well to
glance at the recommendation for
military expansion, $792,484,265!
This figure may not mean any­
thing, but a little arithmetic says
that it is over TWO MILLION
dollars a day. It is $180,000.000
more than for last year.
If, as President Roosevelt said,
“there is no ground for appre­
hension that our relations with any
nation will be otherwise than
peaceful,” just why should it be
necessary to increase our military
expenditures 65 per cent in two
years? Nor is this all, in addition
to the above increase, they ex­
pect to get a good share of PWA
money, as they did last year,
which would run it up around a
billion dollars. Just why should
this be, and who is going to pay
the bill?
cisiona, ye heap criticism, suggestions
and demands upon your choice. In any
other social sense, that is called renig­
ging, or running out on a fellow.
This human trait, of which we speak,
is one of the penalties of assuming pub­
lic office. Americans are wont to elect a
man to play the game, and then play the
game for him over his shoulder.
But at th.it it looks as though Gover­
nor Martin will go a long way toward
helping Oregon make some very neces­
sary improvements

Misunderstood Brush Marines!
Frequently one hears the assertion,
“If the gove Timent would quit throwing
| money away on the CCC there would be
! a lot more available to the needy and
aged.”
The 3-C idea was one of President
' Roosevelt’s □ets, and the Miner finds it
difficult to i nderstand why’ some people
are opposed to the “Brush Marines.”
And as for the idea being a waste of
money, listen to these facts:
Over $40,000,000 has been paid to CCC
enrollees, who in turn have used the
bulk of this sum for the benefit of par­
ents, families and dependents. (A 3-C

ELKS SEEK BAN
ON COMMUNISM
Calling for “the flaming spirit
of a crusade.” Michael F. Shan­
non, grand exalted ruler of the
Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks of the United States of
America, has launched a memor-
ial to congress for legislation
deemed necessary to eradicate
communist and other subversive
influences in the country.
This determination came with
full knowledge that subversion in­
terests are being allowed to grow
and spread unchecked by official
action of our federal government I 1
and that corrective bills of two
sessions of congress have been
permitted to die in committee. A
challenge to all units of the order
came in the form of a resolution
from the Elks of Concord. Mass.,
whose home stands almost on the
spot where “the embattled farmers
stood” on that memorable day in
April, 1775.
Apropos of the above might be

PENALIZE GOOD DRIVER
The moot question of whether a
guest rider in an automobile can
sue the driver in the event of in­
jury during an acident was settled
this week by the state supreme
court in an opinion by Justice J.
O. Bailey. The law provides that
a guest in an automobile cannot
recover from the host for injur­
ies "unless such accident shall
have been intentional on the part
of said owner or operator, or
caused by his gross negligence or
intoxication or his reckless disre­
gard of the rights of others.”
