then we might as well scrap the direct primary
law in Oregon and declare nominations free for
all for all offices both state and county. Let
anybody who has the backing of any faction
call a convention of a few followers or paid
henchmen and be nominated.
Our republican form of government is based
on political parties with party candidates and
party responsibility. The parties are created by
registration, voting and election at the primaries.
If parties are no longer useful the primary sys
tem, by which party candidates are chosen, is
also obsolete as well as being very expensive.
If the people will elect one candidate who has
evaded the primary election, then they should
not require other candidates in the interest of
fairness to be subjected to the primary campaign
and nomination.
If Meier, the self starter, is elected then the
primary system should be abolished, for voters
no longer desire to make the nominations them
selves.

THE TEN MONTH YEAR
The latest development of the new economics
is the proposal by Henry Ford to make the work
ing year only ten months long, giving everybody
in industry a two-months vacation in Summer.
Summer, as Mr. Ford so truthfully says, is no
time to work in a factory. There are certain
times in every industry when a shut-down for
overhauling plant, repairs, additions etc., is nec
essary. Mr. Ford shut down his Dearborn works
for a month this Summer, keeping only 30,000
men a work making improvements.
Coming from anybody else it might be laughed
off, but when Henry Ford seriously proposes a
ten-m onths year he is to be listened to. First
thing anybody knows he will put it Into effect
in his-plant, and then the others will have to
follow suit. He doesn’t have to go to a Board
of Directors to get authority to try experiments;
he is his own Board. When he put the eight-
hour day into effect curses both loud and deep
rained upon him from everybody else in the
automobile industry, where the nine-hour day
was the rule. Nobody would go back to nine
hours now. He was the first to establish a mini
mum wage high enough to enable the worker to
spend something for luxuries. Now all great
industries run on something like the Ford wage
scale. He put the five-hour day into effect» and
others had to follow.
One great advantage of the ten-month year,
Mr. Ford believes, will be a further reduction of
unemployment. Forward-looking men in eco
nom ics and statesmanship now hold that we
shall not achieve complete economic independ
ence for everybody until all workers, at least all
whose work is of a nature which can be carried
on the year around, are employed on a yearly
basis. Few manufacturers are as yet prepared
to hire factory workers by the year, but if the
commitment is only for ten months it may come
easier.
The average man would rather be assured of
ten months work than to take his chance on
twelve, with the constant risk of being laid off
any payday. With ten m onths’ work at good
wages assured, he would welcome the two
m onths’ Summer layoff, as a schoolteacher does.
He would not be afraid to make commitments
based upon future earnings, for he would know
that as long as he did his job he could count on
getting his pay for forty-three or forty-four
weeks.
