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. TAXES— Reduce income taxes by allowing exemptions of Si.ooo
single person; $2,300, married couple; $500 each child; repeal state
withholding tax; no sales tax; pay all liquor revenues into the general
fund.
,
.
"a. INFLATIO N— Use full resources of state to combat inflation
and reduce living costs.
“ j. HOUSING— Provide immediate, adequ.ee low-rent permanent
housing for flood victims, veterans and others in nfced.
"4. CIVIL RIGHTS— Enact law, containing enforcement provi
sions, guaranteeing full civil rights and equality in employment for
all residents of Oregon, regardless of race, color, creed or national
origin.
ED U C A TIO N — Provide first class education for Oregon’s chil
dren and veterans, and better working conditions for teachers.
”6. LABOR— Oppose anti-labor legislation; repeal state hot-cargo
and secondary boycott acts.
"7. FARMERS— Make available lime, phosphate and fertilizers at
the lowest possible price to Oregon’s agriculture; aid advertising and
marketing of Oregon farm products.
"8. PENSIONS—^Provide $50.00 minimum old-age pension immed
iately.
“ 9. MILK— Eliminate all provisions of milk control law, except san
itation regulations and minimum price for dairy farmers.
"10. STATE INSTITUTIO NS — Provide humane treatment for
state wards— maintain adequate facilities and properly paid, well-train
ed personnel; commit and retain only those who have been found to
be dangerous to themselves or society, or suffering from exposure or
neglect; set up scientifc control and treatment of juvenile delinquent
and adult offenders to promote their rehabilitation and return as use
ful citizens to society.
11. LAW ENFORCEM ENT— Vigorously enforce all laws, includ
ing those relating to gambling, liquor and other vice; administer liquor
laws to promote temperance rather than only to raise revenue;; eliminate
from administration any official having a financial interest or cqo -
nection with activity he is required to regulate.
12. GOVERNM ENT — Simplify Oregon’s state, county and local
government through consolidation oi functions and services and elim
ination of duplication, thereby reducing costs; eliminate all property
restrictions as requirement for right to vote at any election.
“ 13. RESOURCES— Stop waste of Oregon’s natural resources;
check soil erosion; preserve Oregon’s coast and streams for recreation;
promote full public development of our power resources to secure
distribution at the lowest possible rates to all of our people, and encour
age public power districts and cooperatives.
„
"14. DEVELOPMENT— Provide state program to create and pro
mote new industries and to develop tourist travel and shipping.
“ i f . CAMPAIGN FU N D ^—Strengthen and extend to presidential
and all other candidates law for control of political campaign funds;
Require filing of complete report on campaign receipts and expendi-
ures prior to election.”

Ginko Trees
C. 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.

precipitation of about ten inches.
“ A 100-day growing season

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.
