this immediate vicinity but all over the state
thousands of men and women will be striving to
bring down a buck in what they consider the sport
of kings. It is a rare privilege granted to those
who enjoy big game hunting and a privilege that
each and every hunter should respect.
Nature has cooperated in making the opening
of deer season possible without restrictions but
this doesn't mean that it is not necessary to ex
ercise care about camp fires, smoking and any
other possible causes of timber destruction. In the
past, sportsmen have cooperated well with the
forest agencies responsible for keeping our great
natural resource free from fire. A word from For
est News, V. S. Forest Sen ice release, calls atten
tion to the fact that recent rains may give hunters
a false sense of safety. In 1947 there were thirty
eight fires started within the national forests of
Oregon and Washington by hunters. For the most
part these were the result of careless smokers
and pesons who left cooking and warming fires
unattended.
"Protect your game and their home" is the mot
to of the forest service, and should be the motto
of every' person who enters the forest. Says Kermit
W Linstedt, assistant regional forester in charge
of fire control, "Remember that the national for
ests are yours to enjoy. The wild game is yours,
and if protected from fire, both the game and
their home will always be there for you to enjoy."
A Slow Worm Up
A few weeks ago the news dispatches indicated
that by early October the political campaign
would be waxing hot. The presidential aspirants
would be on their respective swings about the
country and the fireworks would be turned loose.
Some of the predictions have already come to
pass. At least the presidential aspirants are on
their swings around the country and in a way
the fireworks have been displayed. Yet, there is
a lack of outward display of enthusiasm except,
NATIONAL 6DITORIAL.
perhaps, in the larger centers where the candi
dates have made their appearances.
Most illuminating spectacle in this part of the
country was the announcement by the Oregon
Journal that it will support Governor Dewey. This
statement followed closely upon the Governor's
recent visit and not too long after President Tru
man's invasion of Oregon. Measuring up both
candidates, their records in office and the type
of campaigns they are conducting it is likely
the Journal felt it could make no other decision.
This action by the Journal may be indicative
of the general trend over the land a desire for a
change from the gospel of gloom preached by the
incumbent to a brighter prospect for peace and
a hope for the future as advocated by Governor
Dewey,
With approximately a month left before elec
tion day there is ample time for a hot campaign
to materialize, but the manner in which the battle
linei have been drawn does not indicate any
thing torrid. Mr Truman's attack on the 80th
Congress has acted as a boomerang and Mr. Dew
ey's gentlemanly manner has left the President
out on a limb, as it were, so there doesn't seem
to be too much of a battle in the making.
This does not excuse people of voting age from
turning out to register and vote. There is every
reason why all qualified persons should exercise
their voting franchise in this unsettled era of the
world's history. A wrong decision now could well
extend the misunderstanding between nations
while a change in our national political set-up
could lead to an earlier settlement of the world
problems.
The books will be open until eight o'clock Sat
urday evening at the court house. If you are not
registered, don't fail to attend to it right this
minute!
Remember you have an invitation to visit the
Gazette Times office next Tuesday evening be
tween the hours of 7:30 and 9:00.

AUTO LAWS SPRING LEAKS
Too many drunk drivers get be
hind the steering wheel again too
soon after an auto accident.
The state financial responsibil
ity law is working a hardship on
Oregon automobile owners and
is now too expensive for taxpay
ers. These are the opinions of Sec
retary of State Earl T. Newbry
who intends to do something
about it.
"Under the present law the sec
retary of state must revoke the

driver's license of a person con
victed of drunk driving for one
year. However, the drunk driver
has a loop-hole in the present
law," Newbry points out. "If he
can obtain a written recommen
dation from the convicting mag
istrate he can renew his driver's
license. For some reason, proba
bly due to heavy pressure
brought to bear, most courts do
write recommendations within a
very short time after conviction.
In many cases the recommenda
tion accompanies the court rec
ord sent to the secretary of state's
office. The provision for a judge's
recommendation was placed in
the law to care for remote hard
ship cases, but as an acutality
serves to lessen the penalty for
drunk driving."
The financial responsibility de
partment of his office is swamp
ed with work, Newbry said, with
the result that many automobile
owners who have been involved
in minor accidents cannot obtain
reinstatement of their licenses
without long delay. When it is
realized that one out of every four
automobiles in Oregon is involv
ed in an accident each year,
reaching a total of approximate
ly 100,000 accidents a year, some
idea of the volume of work and
cost can be realized.
If the minimum damage was
set at $50, as it is in many states,
the work of the state department
could be reduced materially,
Newbry said.
AT THE DEWEY SPECIAL
When Governor Dewey started
his Salem address from the cab
oose of his 17-car campaign spe
cial on Monday morning, he re
called what happened to him on
his last visit to Salem in May. An
old gentleman elbowed his way
through the crowd, grabbed my
hand, and said, "Howdy, Dewey!
I been wantin' to vote for you for
president ever since you licked
them Spaniards at Manila Bay"
VOTERS' PAMPHLET OUT

bank superintendents.

convention, Mr, Rogers was eject

The recent raise for reserves on
demand deposits in federal re

to 16 per cent and on time de
