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

Lesson

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ment be repealed.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.

rviee today than 9 cnts

"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

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
