A Two-Party State The State oi Oregon it in dire need of a second major political party This year the Oregon Democratic committee has planned a strong cam paign and has adopted a platform which should find support among party members. The platform is clear-cut and outspoken. It calls specifically tor legislation designed to provide long time payrolls for Oregon; to provide better living and recreational facilities for the state; to return the state to a sound financial basis instead of building unspendable sur pluses, and many other sensible provisions. The platform was drawn up by a committee consisting ot illiam L. Josslin, John J. Beckman, Robert D. Davis, Dr. Charles Davis. Walter J. Dennis, William L. Dickson, Nicholas Granet, Roy R. Hewitt, Dr. Emery C. Ingham, Ira H. Jones, Verne F. Livesay, Howard V. Morgan, Richarl L. Neuberger, Mrs. Nancy Honeyman Robinson. Monroe SweetUnd and Willis . West, and was approved by the ex ecutive committee of the democratic state central committee. 1 his is it. “ We pledge our enthusiastic support to the Democratic National Platform; we particularly call attention to the need for housing, and control of inflation and living costs; we urge the overwhelming elec tion of Harry S. Truman, as President, and Alban W. Barkley, as vice president, and of a Democratic Congress, as the quickest way to get that platform into effect. “ We pledge our support to the following state program for Oregon; “ i.

A. Perrine came forth with a suggestion this week that the petri fied ginko wood which has been planted in front of the city hall be taken up to Blair’s Granite Works and given a complete face lifting. It could be polished on all sides, Mr. Perrine said, then placed in the park in the Plaza area, and the sun dial could then be mounted on it. That would really make it a beautiful piece of petrified wood. We think he’s right, and before it takes root in the grass plot in front of the city hall we think that this suggestion should be followed. If it takes a bit of money to get it up the mountain to Mr. Blair’s quarry and then takes a bit more to get it polished we’re willing to chip in a buck to get the chips knocked o ff the old wood. And Mr. Perrine says he’s willing to toss in a buck for the sake of a good cause like that. Might just as well have a good looking piece of petrified wood as as bad. Especially whfln the equipment to do the job is available. R aym ond F u rry is assisting w ith tlie w o rk in th e P h oe n ix Post o ffic e . M r. and M is . W a rre n D avis.

Comic Books Sa much has been said nationally and in various large cities of the land about the comic book menace that we felt as though we, too, should get on the band wagon and speak our piece. To date, as far as is known, Ashland has been free of any "comic book instigated crimes.” How long this will last is problematical. The methods of murder, arson, robbery, mugging, suicide, torture, sadism, and other assorted crimes are taught the younger generation through this media. Some of the Ashland younger fry are certain to find the suggested crimes fascinating enough to emulate. How long it will be before this city has a "comic book” crime is problematical, but we say it won’t be long. There are organizations in this city which could censor the comic books, and thus permit only recommended, actual comic books «1 the newsstands. These organizations should quit tending to their knitting and do something about their children’s reading.
