No little controversy has arisen
over a statement in the Miner that

strike had indicated a failure >f
students to retain an unbroken
front in their boycott to obtain a
reducUon in admission rates from

land showhouse.
Frank J. Van Dyke, chamber
president, in cemmenting on the
article, stated Thursday that the
board / stand on the issue has al­
ways been purely neutral and
mediatorial, with no preference
shown to either side of the ques

Chiei of Police C. P Talent,
speaking for the gendarmerie,
made the following statement:
"I do not believe that the med-
¡ation board is actively concerned
with what appears to be a busi­
ness matter between Manager
Ryan and his theater patrons
"However, I have noticed that
students have been attending the
theater, contrary to their mutual
agreement.
"Furthermore,
although
th«*
chamber and the police depart­
ment will always be willing to aid
local students in any justifiable
affair, I have told school repre­
sentatives that any step over the
bounds of law and order, such as
picketing, will result in the arrest
of leaders and participants in the
movement."

Reregistration of Voters
Predicted Should the
Governor Run
By A. L LINDBECK,
State < apital News Bureau of the
Southern Oregon Miner
QALEM Should Governor Mar-
tin succumb to the lure of a
second term, as now seems likely,
thousands of
republicans will
change their political registration
in order to [«arUcipate in the dem­
ocratic primary election in 1938
Since his return from a swing
around the state with the state
highway commission two weeks
ago the governor has been deluged
with letters from his admirers
commending him upon his out-
spoken stand against sit-down
strikes and labor "racketeering"
in general Many of these letters
are from admirers who admit to
a life long attachment to the re­
publican party but who express
an eagerness to GO P. in favor
of the democratic donkey in order
to help nominate Martin.
That, however, is a game at
which more than one can play
and it is not to be expected
that the anti-Martinites will
be caught napping when it
comes to rallying support to
their standards either. In fact,
it Is said that organized labor
Is already busy making dem­
ocratic converts out of repub­
licans in their ranks who will
welcome an opportunity to
cast a vote against the pres­
ent occupant of the governor's
office.
Of course, as yet the governor's
attitude toward a second term is
mere speculation While Martin is
openly flirting with the idea he
is not committing himself one way
or the other. The next primaries
are still more than a year away
and many things may happen in
the interim—things that may
have a vital bearing on the gov­
ernor's final decision.
Just now the forthcoming gath-
ering of young democrats at
North Bend Friday and Saturday
holds the center of the political
stage, At least it will provide an-
other test of the strength of W
L. Gossling, the governor’s secre­
tary and chief patronage dispenser
for the administration, among the
younger element of the governor's
party. Gosslin is espousing the
cause of Al Greenwood of Port­
land as candidate for president of
the state organization while the
anti-Gosslinites are understood to
be backing Walter Tooze, Jr., also
of Portland to head the associa­
tion. At least some Interesting de­
velopments are anticipated to
show which way the straws are
blowing in the party which now
appears to be dominating Oregon
politics.

The quarterly distribution of
beer and wine taxes by Secretary
of State Snell thia week totaled
$22,240. Nearly one-third of the
total went to the city of Port­

to the cities and counties on the
basis of population.
