O C T O B E R S. 1*32 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. ¡ta ----- 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. ^ î S I flLZ s a H IN C T O N 1 H.
