The Challenge
"IUENDELL L. WILLKIE clearly
" laid the issue of the present
presidential campaign at Jersey City.
Shall the American people be ruled
from Washington, or shall they gov
ern themselves?
Democracy has been demoralized
by patronage and paternalism. Thru
seven and a half years we of Amer
ica have been doctrinated with the
idea of "ask and thou shalt receive"
from the hands of the great white
father at Washington. The gracious
smile and offering of alms have made
an appealing picture. It has lulled
initiative into a coma, stagnated in
dustry, and placed a fear in the
country's heart that some great
blessing would be removed if the
great white father should sit in
Washington no more.
The catch to the gracious smile
and the offering of alms is that it
is not the great white father's mon
ey, but that of the people, which he
offers so charitably to those who
do his bidding. And it is not only
the money of those who live today,
but of those to come for many gen
erations if the great national debt is
to be erased and the people un
shackled from the holders of the
immense number of promises to pay
which the great white father has
caused to be issued.
The saddest story for America is
that in permitting the great white
father to borrow so freely against
the future and to return intermit
tent blessings a large number of
people have lost the courage and in
itiative to rule themselves. They
have come to look upon the great
white father as a prop, the removal
of which would leave them helpless.
It is such a tendency toward loss of
national morale that caused France
to fall easy victim to Naziism.
There is no ringing answer to the
challenge of Mr. Willkie from third
term advocates. They are at work
whispering fear propaganda into
ears that will listen. Their open
statements attempt mostly to smear
Mr. Willkie, in whose record they
can find little flaw. They do not
defend the record of the new deal
administration. They can point to
no legitimate demand for a third
term arising from the mass of the
peqple. (The convention that nomin
ated the third term candidate was
clearly machine-controlled.)
Mr. Willkie's challenge will be
answered only in the heart of the
individual voter, directing his ballot-marking.
It is clearly this: Have
I the courage to join Mr. Willkie in
doing my part to salvage America
from the chaos and to help rebuild
the spirit of democracy to carry
America on to new heights of great
ness?
He Served
"WILLKIE enlisted as a private
" day America entered war, rose
to captain in 325th Field Artillery,
84th division, served six months in
France." That is telegraphic infor
mation received by Bob Dillard, ex-
service man of Portland, who points
to the fact that Willkie is also an
outstanding business executive. The
war record, of course, was made in
the last World war.
In annealing to ex-service men,
Dillard says: "Our families and
friends need to be reminded that it
was onlv the veterans who were
made to suffer under Roosevelt's
economy act. Whilfe billions of dol
lars were being spent on leaf -raking
and boondoggling, pensions for our
Heppner
disabled veterans were reduced or
snded. Under the impact of despair
many of our fellow veterans took
their lives. Others, who received
their disabilities honorably in the
service of our country, have had to
rely on the charity of their families
and friends." '
He concludes, "And you may be
sure of one thing Wendell Willkie
as, president, will never permit his
son to be commissioned as an army
captain and procurement officer,
over the heads of experienced men."
Misleading
UE are pleased to present to Gaz
' ette Times readers this week an
appeal typical of the fear propagan
da being disseminated by third term
advocates.
It is misleading in several respects,
with premise of arguments unfound
ed in fact. First, it assumes that Mr.
Hoover was responsible for the con
dition that existed in the late days
of his administration. A world wide
depression was on at the time, and
a democratic congress, then in the
majority, nullified such attempts as
the administration made to avert
catastrophe Secondly, it assumes
that Mr. Willkie would return to
reactionary principles of govern
ment. His record and his statements
absolutely disprove such an assump
tion. . . . Thirdly, it assumes that
Roosevelt, Wallace and Walter gave
us the present farm program. Such
was not the case. The farm program
was developed by farm leaders on a
non-partisan basis. It had its begin
nings in the McNary-Haugen bill.
It is not today a partisan issue. Mr.
Willkie and Mr. McNary are both
friends of the program. They wish
only to make it farmer-controlled.
Just as a precaution against such
an episode as Louisianna experienc
ed Oregon has written into its con
stitution section 1, article V, which
says: "The chief executive power of
the state shall be vested in the gov
ernor, who shall hold his office for
a term of four years; and no person
shall be eligible to such office more
than eight in any period of twelve
years."
HAVE INTERESTING TRIP
Henrv Schulz. son Max and dau
ghter Evelyn returned recently from
an auto trir to the San Francisco
fair, Los Angeles and way points.
They spent two days at the fair, saw
doIo horses at Palo Alto and visited
relatives at Los Angeles. An item
of interest there was the sliding land
near San Pedro where many houses
are being moved to escape demoli
tion. They took in a historic Indian
mission at Santa Barbara, construct
ed in 1826, and were impressed with
the exceptional workmanship m the
furniture and paintings. Oil fields,
and sugar beets being taken to re
fineries provided signs of much in
dustrial activity, and they enioyed
seeing cotton go through the gins
in the Bakersfield district. Picked
up from the fields in four wheel
trailers, the cotton was unloaded
with a suction tube that carried it
to driers, cleaners and gins, then
to press -rooms where it was put in
450 pound bales. Tipton and Tulare
were the last towns noted at the
north end of the cotton belt. Lots
of ducks were noted at Klamath
Falls on the return, and they en
joyed a visit to Bend's lava caves.
No bad weather was encountered
anywhere.

FROM THE PEOPLE . .
LEST WE FORGET
To Farmers of Oregon:
Do you' remember the struggle
you had in the good old Hoover
days trying to find something to use
for money to buy gas and pay taxes?
Some of us lost our farms during
those days, and have since been able
to recover them.
Have you noticed that you are
using allotment money and parity
payments to defray those and sun
dry other items of expense now?
Who figured that out for you?
Roosevelt, Wallace and Walter.
I am asking you to carefully com
pare your financial condition now
with that of 1933. And fill your pipe
with that and smoke it and be
smoking it Nov. 5, 1940.
Do you remember during the clos
ing months of Hoover's administra
tion that the stock market crash,
bank failures, farm foreclosures, and
high jumps were making the front
page almost daily?
Who stopped that? It was Roose
velt, Wallace and Walter.
How did they do it? They made
use of the alphabet, starting with
AAA, FHA, PWA, WPA, etc. They
finished with the vowels IOU that
made taxes higher.
It seems to me nicer to be taxed
two dollars when one has the two
dollars than to be taxed one dollar
when you did not have the dollar.
This system of taxation is more
popular with the 96 per cent (the
poor people) than with the other
four per cent.
"God must have loved the poor
people, otherwise he would not have
made so many of them."
Who is looking after the "Undah
Privileged" in eastern Oregon now?
but Walter.
Come on voters let's give him a
hand. He is the only farmer on the
agricultural committee in the house
of representatives. He is doing al
right, don't you think so? He seems
to speak their language. Let's keep
him there. Say it with votes Nov.
5th Roosevelt, Wallace and Walter.
I have learned that George Wash
ington said when he turned down
the third term, "That a president
should serve as long as the people
wanted him," but he begged off.
"He didn't choose to run."
Anyhow you'll worry more about
the third term when your allotment
checks quit coming than you do now.

Progress of Farm Program Outlined by
R. M. Evans, Administrator, at Walla Walla
By M. E. CUMMINGS
About 300 farmers of Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington met in Walla
Walla Saturday, October 5 and heard
R. M. Evans, national administrator
of the AAA farm program, deliver
an address on the present wheat sit
uation. Mr. Evans was making a
swing through all wheat producing
states and was accompanied by N.
E. Dodd, western division adminis
trator. In his address Mr. Evans stated
that the ever normal granary was
well filled with all basic commod
ities. With war conditions, wheat
farmers especially are faced with
quite a problem in disposing of their
exportable surpluses. He also made
an interesting report on the prob
lem of the Canadian wheat farmers.
He stated that Canada had harvest
ed a crop of 500,000,000 bushels in
1940 and this crop, with a carry
over of 381,000,000 bushels, really
was a problem as Canada's normal
exports were only 250,000,000 bushels
and her domestic consumption was
only between 115,000,000 and 120,
000,000 bushels.
Under the quota system they have
in that country, this year, a Canad
ian wheat farmer could only deliver
8 bushels per acre to the national
wheat pool and the balance of his
production was practically worthless
to him.
In discussing the present farm
program for this country as com
pared to Canada's program, he stat
ed that Canadian officials were giv
ing considerable study to our pro
gram with the view to adopting a
similar program for Canada. Mr.
Evans admitted that the American
farmers' problems were far frpm
being solved but suggested that the
farmers, themselves, had the ma
chinery set up to help take care of
the problems and how well they
succeeded depended largely on their
willingness to cooperate with each
other.
He called attention to the fact that
the weakness of the present farm
program was that it was financed
from the federal treasury and said
that efforts to make the program
self-supporting were progressing and
either this session of congress or the
"IRADE, BARTER,
" SWAP, or EVEN
EXCHANGE. We
don't care what
you call it That's
what we do. No
wonder we are
called "The House of A Million
BARGAINS"
