PLANS WORK FOR ALL
James Mott, Republican candidate for congress, should
appeal to the laborer, the farmer and the small business
man as a champion of their case, lie believes in govern
mental long range planning and in sure steady emp>oyment
and operation of industry, lie thinks that ultimately all
large industries will have to come under the same regula
tions as do the public utilities. This he thinks will be man
datory if we are to get along even if it is not what we desire
Mr. Mott reasons that all people who want to work
have a right to be employed. If because of our improved
methods of machine production and transportation only
half share in the production through shorter working days,
whole population needs then we must find something for
the other half to do. There is nothing left but to let the idle
half share in the production through shorter working days.
If industry and business must carry this added burden then
it must have guarantees similar to that of the railroads
and public utilities. They must be protected from ruinous
competition and gross over production and given the privi
lege of making a fair return on investment. This wiH come
through government supervision similar to that now exer
cised over the railroads and public utilities.
Mr. Mott’s is the view of many modern economists. It
is the view that all real champions of the "forgotten” should
have.
WELL-TO-DO CANDIDATES
•
George Washington was the wealthiest man in the
United States when he was elected president in 1788. A
good many other presidents have been men of considerable
means, and a good many of them have been poor men.
Theodore Roosevelt probably had the largest personal for
tune of any president since Washington, when he entered
the White House. President Hoover at the beginning of
the war was worth several million dollars, but had spent a
great deal of his capital in Belgian relief work and other
philanthropies, and lost more of it through unfortunate in
vestments. before he become president, according to the in-
terestng and expensive magazine called "Fortune,” which
sells for $1 a copy.
Mr. Hoover started in life with nothing and was mak
ing $100,000 a year as a mining engineer when he was
thirty, according to Fortune, which estimates that he was
worth something over $4,000,000 in 1914 and now has about
$700,000, mostly invested in bonds, which bring him an in
come of about $35,000 a year apart from his salary.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democratic candidate for
president, has an income of about $17,500 a year apart from
ais salary as Governor of New York, says Fortune. About
$12,500 of this is from investments made by himself and
his wife of money which they inherited. Governor Roose
velt’s magnificent home at Hyde Park. New York, is owned
by his mother, who is estimated to be worth about half a
million dollars.
Both of the candidates for Vice-President are also well-
to-do. Mr. Curtis and Mr. Garner have been the architects
of their own fortunes.
We do not see that it makes much difference whether
a president ia1 candidate is rich or poor. Even Norman
Thomas, the Socialist candidate, who presumably repres
ents the poor, married a considerable fortune. Perhaps,
on the whole, the country is better served by putting in
office men who do not need the jobs, but who are economi
cally independent and able to devote their lives to public
service.

BIG VOTE TO SWAT SCHOOL MOVING
More than 1100 voters are registered in Springfield
which is the largest registration in history. What should
be the goal of Springfield people now is to enroll as near as
possible a 100 per cent vote against moving the University
of Oregon.
“Vote 317 X NO”.
Should be our slogan as well as the rest of I^ane coun
ty. We can not afford to have this institution started by
pioneers of our county moved away. It would be a calamity
to Lane county and to Springfield. We must roll up as great
a majority in l^ane county as possible to overcome possible
adversity in other parts of the state less affected.
------------ e------------
Lumber investments are 25 per cent less than a year
ago and arders the last few weeks show increased demand.
Some mills have reopened and others have hopes for the
immediate future. It is generally agreed that improved
business conditions and the lumber tariff is responsible for
the strengthening of the domestic market.
------------ «------------
Springfield is one of the few school districts in Oregon
cities which does not show a decreased school attendance.
This should be proof that our community is holding its own
in population. Many of our people own their own homes
and have not become transients during this period of so-
called depression.
If there are ever to be any junior colleges in Oregon
the place where they should be thoroughly tried out is in
Portland as a part of the public school system and in con
nection with the high schools. Ashland and La Grande are
far too small for such costly experiments as contemplated
in the Zorn-McPherson bill.
---------- «.----------
Herbert Hoover stands preeminently as the champion
of the country’s welfare regardless of politics. He has no
time for petty partisan considerations which would ruin his
position as a great executive and statesman. He is the
leader of ail the people in constructive progress.
------------ «-------------
Seventy per cent of ail imported goods come into this
country duty free and our total import trade is but 10 per
cent of our nation’s business. The affect of tariff on our
whole economic structure is greatly overstressed.
------------ ♦_----------
Some of the Democratic candidates for county office
have omitted the name of their party from their cards.
What’B the matter boys and girls are you ashamed of the
party of Jefferson, Jackson and Wilson?
----------------- * -----------------
Some good friend of Gov. Roosevelt ought to pass on to
him the old saying: “A winner never knocks and a knocker
never wins.”
■■■»■1 ■■ ■»
Well, we can’t blame Hoover for the Great Hood or
the San Francisco earthquake.
