AUGUST 28. 1030 IF MEIER W I N S - 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.
