For that matter, there is no provis ion in the Constitution of the Uni ted States under which the people are either required or permitted to vote for Presidential electors. In the early days of the republic the idea that everybody should have a vote for President never occurred to the gentlemen who conducted the Revolution and framed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. Those things were left to the states, and the Constitution reads that "each state shall ap point, in such manner as its Legis lature may direct," the required number of Presidential electors. If any state Legislature wished to, it could today pass a law repealing the privilege of its citizens to vote for Presidential electors, and hava them appointed by the Governor or chosen by the Legislature. Presidents Washington, Adams and Jefferson were all elected un der the old provisions of the Con stitution, changed in 1804, whereby the candidate who got the most votes was president, and the one who got the next highest number was vice-president. The present party convention system of nominating candidates and pledging Presidential electors to their support is only a little over a hundred years old. In that hun dred years state after state has con stantly extended the privilege of voting for President until it has become such a commonplace, every day affair that few, especially of the younger voters, realize that It is not an inherent Constitutional right, but distinctly a privilege. It is an honor conferred upon the or dinary man and woman an honor which carries with it a correspond ing responsibility. It is not a priv ilege to be exercised lightly. The presumption is that every voter will go to the polls with the feeling that he is discharging a solemn duty, for amaaggaMaHaciBHHi: Sunday Schoo Lesson By Rev. Charles X. Sana, D. D. The Christian and Law Observance Lesson for October 30th. Romans 13:1-7; Galatians 6:7-10. Golden Text: Galatians 6-7. This is World's Temperance Sun day. Amidst all the welter of con flicting opinion with respect to the temperance question, certain con victions need emphasis. One is that the case against the liquor traffic is as strong now as In the days before prohibition. Alco hol is a menace of the very first or der, and its use for beverage pur poses must be relentlessly attacked, even though the eighteenth amend ment be repealed. Naked repeal while desirable from certain points of view, will not lessen the volume of liquor now consumed. The sin ister liquor business will still be with us, a giant octopus eager to debauch the nation. To regulate it effectively will requre a fresh and powerful strategy. Secondly, the age of the automo bile, the radio, and the talking pic ture Is in no need of alcoholic re laxation. In the rude, lonely days of our forefathers there was some excuse for the consumption of hard liquor. A frontier civilzation finds in alcohol some measure of escape from bleak monotony. Then, too, alcohol is distinctly more dangerous in a high-powered age like our own than in the slow- paced days of a century ago. There are about twenty-four million mo tor cars on our highways, each a potential murderer. Exhaustive tests have proved that for at least four hours after a moderate dose of alcohol, a motor driver may well be considered a menlaca. From the standpoint of automobile safety one or two drinks only are suffi cient to render a driver dangerous, Indeed in this respect moderate drinking, so highly praised by the "wets, is more perilous than lm moderate. Gasoline and "booze do not mix. Finally, prohibition is the ultl mate solution, even though drastic changes in existing legislation may now be necessary. The liquor in terests will defy any system of con trol that may be devised. Mankind after long experiment and study, will at last realize that Intoxicants, like crucifixion, slavery, and war, must be outlawed. For it must be conceded that alcohol from almost every point of view, is a degrading and degenerating force. for which he has prepared himself by intelligent thought and examin ation of the programs and policies of the opposing parties. We fear that few voters in these days take their responsibility as seriously as they should. We urge everyone who goes to the polls next Tuesday to vote in the light of his or her own deepest and innermost convictions. Only if every voter does just that will the result re flect the intelligent judgment of the American people, THE SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT. JE HEAR a lot of talk about American money that has been lent to foreign nations, and a good deal of this talk suggests that peo ple think there was something wrong about the efforts of the Uni ted States Government and of the international bankers to help those countries get on their financial feet Certainly during the war when the United States lent the allied na tions something like twelve billion dollars with which to carry on the war, nobody thought our govern ment was doing anything wrong. In the period since the war, a great many more billions of American private funds were lent to Euro pean and South American nations. One or two of these nations are behind on their interest payments on their bonds. Some of the people who have not been able to sell these bonds at the price they paid for them are making a big fuss. They think that the government some how ought to have prevented the bankers from buying these foreign bonds. It looks to us as if the people who talk this way had forgotten all about the hundred years in which the United States Govern ment and the individual states and our birr crro.-rticr. wore seliin. our bonds abroad, borrowing mon ey from the more prosperous coun tries of Europe to develop our own backward country. Practically all of our main railroad trunk lines were built with money borrowed from England, Holland, France and Germany. There is a good deal of criticism still in some circles in Europe over the failure of some of our states to pay back the money they bor rowed from European investors seventy-five years and more ago. The shoe is on the other foot now. We are beginning to realize some of the responsibilities and troubles of becoming a creditor na tion instead of being, as the United States was for a hundred and fifty years, a debtor nation. W. C. T. U. NOTES MART A. NOTSON. Reporter. The following is a message from our National President, Ella A. Boole, and you will know what she wishes we are quoting here exact ly: Attention Voters It is obvious that either Hoover and Curtis or IFromm acific Roosevelt and Garner will be elect ed. Many people are-so disap pointed in the platform planks of the major political parties that they are announcing they will not vote for president on November 8th. Should the drys fail to vote, it will leave the choice of president to the wets of the country. This is un thinkable. The socialist party declared for the repeal of the 18th amendment. The prohibition party stands for the eighteenth amendment and its enforcement, but its candidates will not be on the ticket in all states. A voter for that party in the states in which there are prohibition par ty electors will not effect the result of the election nationally. There are many other vital is sues in the campaign which will help the drys to decide how they will vote if they vote with one of the major parties. We urge that they study the platform planks of the major parties, and while the W. C. T. U. is unalterably opposed to legalizing beer, to the repeal amendment, and to the alterna tive amendment which would give the states control of the liquor traffic, some will feel that because of other issues they must vote for one of the old parties. We urge that every one of these send a post card immediately to President Hoover, The White House, Wash ington, D. C, or to Gov. Roosevelt, Executive Mansion, Albany, New York, in accordance with his or her vote. The following is a sug gested form: "I will vote for for president and vice president, but I am opposed to the party's platform plank on prohibition. I favor the retaining of the Eighteenth Amend ment "Address ' Mrs. Julia A. Hunt of Hood Riv er, in writing to one of the local papers cjf that city, says: "Repealing the enforcement pro visions of the prohibition law in our state seems to be the chief top ic of conversation at the present time with some people who are an xious for a change in the situation. They appear to have no conception what the result might be if the re pealers win. They simply desire a change. Evidently they do not take time to read or think on the sub ject, where they would receive the most benefit. These people seem willing to risk the fallacious argu ments in favor of repeal propagan dism and willing to train in the company of those 53 wet million aires guided by one John Rascob, one of the most notorious and cor rupt politicians know. He is head of the association against the pro hibition amendment, and no doubt enjoys the distinction of being the advance agent of every movement where states are holding referen dums this fall. "He is taking advantage of the depression at this crisis and with others of his clique, spending mon ey freely for the campaigns at the expense of human welfare and fill in eleven years Few of our patrons realize that the cost of electricity has been constantly declining. It took more than 9 cents to pay for a kilowatt hour in 1921. Less than 3 cents is now being paid by our average home and rural customer. This is one-third what it cost in 1921. This decrease in cost to our patrons has been con tinuous in good and bad times. While other prices have advanced, the cost of electricity to the home and farm has constantly decreased. The economy of electricity makes possible Increasing use of it in the home, the store, the farm, and the factory. 3 eenti buys more Icctrii rviee today than 9 cnts bought In 1921. Power & "ALWAYS AT ing the minds of a class of voters in the belief that to legalize wine j and beer will bring prosperity. j "A few years ago, it was Mr. An drew Mellon, the rich secretary of the treasury then, which disturbed these same people, possibly making it unpleasant for Mr. Hoover. But those wet wealthy propagandists seem to satisfy their prejudices. "O! Consistency, thou art a jew- &!. Citizens of Oregon, at the next election do we want to cast our ballots for the repeal of a law which has not been given a full measure of chance, but yet better enforced than any other law on the statute books? Shall we be guided and controlled by law vio lators and political gangsters who can give us no security, no protec tion? Think of these things before you vote on election day." The author of the bill to repeal the prohibition enforcement laws of the state in a recent letter at tempts to refute the arguments of one of the dry writers by stating that the law against drunken driv ers is not included in the repeal bill. This is intended to be mis leading. The law against drunken drivers is a part of the motor ve hicle law. But the fact remains that to make it easier to obtain In toxicating liquor will result in an increase of drunken drivers on the highways. This is a most serious matter. If every hot dog stand along the highway could sell beer CALVIN i v U: ..! . r to the vacancy cic'itr-l i v '. ::t n : .. . A Kf to V'.c V. S. District B .. h.

Light- Company YOUR SERVICEI and moonshine, knowing that the federal ofticers are too few to watch them successfully, there is little doubt that some of them would try it. The result would be more drunken drivers. Be not deceived, if the enforcement law is repealed, it will mean a flood of intoxicating liquor. VOTE: 313 X No. I vote against repealing the law. Slight Improvement Seen In Farm Products Index The index of the general level of farm prices in Oregon registered improvement from mid-August to mid-September and reached 45 per cent of the average from 1926 to 1930, according to the monthly re port on the agricultural situation by the Oregon State college exten sion service. This compares with 43 in August, 42 in July and 55 in September, 1931. Recent changes in the most im portant faotors which are related to the demand and prices of Oregon farm produots, such as the general level of farm prices in the whole country, factory payrolls and the general wholesale price level, have not changed very much during the past few weeks, according to the report. Some farm commodities have advanced in price, but most grains and livestock tended to de cline from the middle of Septem L SWEEK Candidate for CIRCUIT JUDGE Of Sixth Judicial District, comprised of Umatilla and Morrow Counties.

Due to a decline of two points in the index if prices paid for com modities usually purchased by far mers, the exchange value of farm nrnrliK-tii increased from 55 per cent of the prewar ratio in August to 56 in September.

Peppermint oil production mis year is expected to be 59 per cent of the 1931 output when the crop was small comnard to 1930 and 1929. The acreage of peppermint has been reduced nearly one-nan since 1929 and yields were not up to average this year, says a state college extension circular.
