"4 Heppner Gazette Times, November 1 . 1944 EDITORIAL . . . Don't Forget to Vote! Whatever your political belief, don't neglect your civic duty next Tuesday. Perhaps the most crucial period in American political history faces the people of the United States and this is no time for a loyal American to shirk his duty. It is important that the people's mandate be given in no uncertain terms relative to the question of whether we shall have or shall not have one-man government. Do your duty. Make the verdict clear. 0 Support the County Hospital There has been nothing said during the cam paign but as a final word we want to call your attention to the county hospital measure, number 318 on the ballot. There is no appareni opposition to the measure and we trust none has developed, yet it is essential that a full expression be given so that the county court will have the undivided backing in arranging finances and other details relative to construction and maintenance. It must be remembered that this is not to be a county hospital as commonly connected with a poor farm. It will be a modern, general hospital, fully equipped and staffed to meet all demands. There is no other project that will bring so much good to the county for so little cost. Vote 318 Yes. For a Strong School System While there are some features of the measure which leave an element of doubt the general pur pose of the proposed constitutional amendment in creasing state tax fund for public school support is worthy of favorable consideration. It is designed to give Oregon boys and girls a system of educa tion up to the standard of other states. It is not claimed that it will offset property taxes apprecia bly but it will provide the means for a more equal distribution of tax money to give the weaker dis tricts support which- they now lack. A good school system is a state's most valued asset. Look for number 314 on the ballot. There is no reason why our congressional dele gation and Wayne Morse should not be 'sent to Washington. Senator Cordon has been doing an excellent job in his eight months tenure. Mr. Morse has demonstrated a capacity for analyzing political problems as well as legal problems. He is in accord with Governor Dewey on international affairs and will be a tower of strengtht to the new administration in both international and internal affairs. Lowell Stockman has cut his eye teeth in the house of representatives and is due. for another term. Help Your Schools If You Believe .. . THAT Oregon boys and girls deserve educationaloppor tunity second to none in the nation; THAT every Oregon student is entitled to the same high quality of education to which his neighbor is entitled; THAT the'burden of school costs should be borne equally by all the people of the State of Oregon; THAT freedom and equality of Oregon educational op portunities should be beyond the reach of selfish pres sure groups who would tamper with it; THAT the general level of education in Oregon should be raised VOTE 314 X YES Heppner Parent-Teacher Association Pd.

Bonds-Best Buy AL ays PETERSON'S FARMER FILOSOFI DEWEY DOOMS DICTATORS The wave of favor sweeping the country for Dewey has thrown the White House favorites into a panic. They were going to have the presi dent assume an attitude of super iority as well as indispensability and just laugh the campaign off. The grin has been entirely washed off their faces. They are now push ing the president into the play as an anxious candidate full of fears. He is forced to do stunts he is not fitted for by health. His backers are gamblers. They have staked all on the election. They are now going, according to the old cowboys' ex pression, "hell bent for election." The favorites' see their fat jobs vanishing. This is unthinkable to them. They have even declared a truce among themselves1 and will do no fighting until afier election. If they should win you will see the prettiest scrap ever. The head of the pack is Ickes He whines and snarls over the air continuously. His place is unique. The others will loose their jobs, but this piet. if the fourth term fails, looses 38 jobs and the position of the most pow erful deputy dictator the world has seen. No wonder he is mad and scared. TRUMAN BRINGS NO JOY Senator Truman as candidate for the vice presidency does not add any joy to the picture when the na tion is considering the condition of the president's health. His long as sociation with the Pendergast ma chine to which, according to his recent statement, he owes his whole political career, is not cheering. If this wjas the only machine behind the fourth term campaign it would not be so serious. Considlering the Hague, the Kelly, the Flyhn, the Hillman, the Hannegan machines which represent the worst in poli tics of any party, all thirsting for power and supporting the fourth term, it becomes a national threat such as this country never faced. UNITED WE STAND Of all the good features of the Dewey campaign nothing is more encouraging than the promise ' to unite all branches of government into harmonious action. Clearing up the muddle and confusion with untold duplications of effort which characterizes Washington at this critical time is the primary need. Without it no progress can be made in the solution of our home or for eign problems United effort will surmount every obstacle. Dewey and Bricker have the lability and will to achieve this. America must have it or loose the battle for progress. ; Professional Directory W. Mahoncy VITORNEY AT LAW GENERAL IJVSUBANCB Heppner Hotel Building Willow St. Entrance ( J. 0.
