"No" Vote Recommended on No. 3 Giles French-A Good Mon for the Senate Straightforward Giles FrerKh of Moro U a fine candidate for the Slate Senate from the 18th district It would acera dim cult to find a better man to serve the area. In the popular aense. Giles, who aerved for 1? year In the State House of Representative. Isn't much of politician. He peaks frankly and from conviction; he atanda on what he believe. There la no equivocation In hla actions and no apology for what he doe. He indulges in no subterfuge to gain favor or vote. Any who have followed hla editorials and read his column. These Things We Note." In the Sherman County Journal, which he and his wife published for 30 years, will realize the truth of these statements. His writings are straight to the point There are few, If any. who could say that they know the history, the problems and needs of Eastern Oregon better than Cllea, Both during and since the time he served In the legls. lature he has been an able and vocal spokesman for this part of the state. He has battled for a reapportionment plan that would protect the Interests of Eastern Oregon and has carried it before Important clubs and organizations In Port- '"as a legislator he served on the House taxation committee for years and became a recognized tax authority. During his time in the House he served as chairman of the committee several times. His position on taxes. It seems to us. coincides with the thinking of people In the area that he seeks to serve as their senator: Simply, they are too high. He takes the position that essential needs of government can be provided at less cost. Mr. and Mrs. French operated their newspaper as a husband and wife team for years. He left public service when the load became too great to do both Jobs. A year or two ago they sold their paper and that leaves him free to return to public service. He has continued as a writer, helping on the Sherman County Journal, and as an author of books. Including the recently released "Cattle Country of Peter French.- Ben Musa. Incumbent candidate for the Senate, whom French opposes, has achieved a place of prominence in the Senate and currently is president He is friendly and affiable. He has been connected with some good legislation. However, we believe that French would better represent all of the 18th district The incumbent's trips to Morrow county have been relatively rare and It Is admitted that it is a big Job to cover such a sprawling area. But on the other hand, French knows the area like a book. He can drop into almost any old timers home and be conversant on their pioneer an cestors whether it be at Hardman, lone, Condon, Pendleton or Wasco. He grew up with the problems of this area and studied and wrote about them through his newspaper. If Giles French is elected, the 18th district can be sure of honest vigorous, experienced, capable and convincing rep resentation in the Senate. He will be sure that the case for the 18th district will be heard. We're among thoe who see too many dangers In Initiative No. 3 on the general election halM. the compulsory women's compensation Wit to be able to Iaof It and woulj recommend a "no" vote on the measure. Like many other who havo stated opposition to the plan, our objection tem from ita monopolistic nJ compulsory feature. Th I rv Intended ti defend the present trm. whl.h undoubtedly could stand wm revision. rr dea It attack the State ndutiil Accident Commission, which has been doing good Job within the limits of the pternt law. An Increase In workmen' compensation benefit and im rtpsnsion of coverage to many who may now lack Industrial accident protection probably would be desirable. Itowrtcr, those In our state whose Individual accomplish ments are attributable to the system of competitive enterprise cannot be silent parties to any monopolistic trend that might Jeopardize thla slem. Under the Initiative proposal, coverage and benefits for all employee would be flsed by law. Thousands of Oregon working rs.rle now enky benefits through their sound employee mclovrr rlationshlD that far esceed those which could be set up under the atate monopoly system. These people would lose advantages they now nave. Costa In virtually any bureaucratic system exceed those of a businesslike private company. Thl means that costs almost certainly would rise if the proposal were adopted. Ultimately they would be paid by the consumer. Competition which now controls those costs would be eliminated. Increased cost might hurt Oregon's Industrial growth because It would be one more thing to add to the cost of doing business In thl state. passage of this measure would ahow that a small group of labor leaders and lawyers ran dominate Oregon through skill ful manipulation of the Initiative process. Change to the workmen compensation law should be work ed out through the legislature, through debate, compromise and amendment It 1 a complex matter that require diligent work of Informed people to study with the counsel of rep. resentatlves of labor and employer alike. Another point to consider is that the measure would force many small non-hazardous employers under the state monopoly system. Those who employ only one or two part-time workers would be forced Into the program. Churches, farmers, and even a home owner hiring a person to do ordinary maintenance, work on a home or a yard would fall under the provlslona of the Initiative. Revisions In the present law may be In order but this isnl the wsy to attempt them. There are real dangers in a state monopoly. Remember Judge Howell Judge Edward II. Howell of John Day. who ran second to Judge Ralph Holman of Oregon City. In the primary election for position seven on the Supreme court bench, has a big Job ahead on November 3. He made a good race In the primary and won enough votes to qualify for the two-man runoff on November 3. The only thing against Judge Howell is that he comes from an area of relatively light population and cannot command as many votes from his home area as Judge Holman, In the populous part of the Willamette Valley, can from his. Both men have excellent qualifications. However. Eastern Oregon deserves representation on the Supreme Court bench. Judge Howell Is highly capable, experienced, respected by at torneys all over the state. He deserves a resounding majority from Eastern Oregon voters. Chaff d Chatter Wes Sherman TO THE EDITOR.

Enclosed please find a check. We enjoy the paper as much if not more than we did in Heppner. We have found things much different here in Kansas than in Oreeon. The school systems are different, farming is diner ent. (you never see a Cater pillar, just rubberwheeled trac tors). People here really con serve water. They build ponds and lakes for water storage, in some places they don't have water and have to haul it Of course in the cities they have large water storage places and people don't think about the water so much.'

Sui-h debate would have en livened proceeding considerably this year, and the voting public wouldn't have felt quite a weary a It docs right now. BOB HENRY come up with a good Idea that might oe useu in greeting the outside hunter to the area each year, lie suggests putting up a scrle of slrui at various points, similar to Rurma Shave slcns. One would be made In the outline of cow and bear the Inscription. This Is a cow. Do not shoot It. Another would be In the shape of a buck. It would carry some sucn Inscription as, This is a deer. Vou may shoi one of these." Another could be a picture of a man it could say, -mis is human being. Don't shoot at It unless you're sure it has horns" Ana so on. Sounds like a real good Idea. Should add a little humor. Even the hunter mlcht get a few chuckles out of the signs. And It might help educate the outsiders who still need education on how to conduct themselves. THFRE IS SOME saying to the etfect that "anyone who can build a better mousetrap will succeed." At this moment, we'd declare there Is a crying need for a better mou-setrap. Some little erstwhile Mickey got Into our bread drawer, the first mouse we've encountered In our resl aence in Heppner. So we pur chased a couple of mousetraps In an eirort to tnwart his depre datlons. But the traps they have on the market today are so sensi tlvc you cant set one without losing a finger and when it Is set. It will go off from any little vibration. Mousetraps 25 years aro were a oetter prouuer. And the cats are worse. We've got two cats In the house, but do you suppose they would disdain to pursue that mouse? They're raised on canned cat rood and are used to lazying around doing nothing. It takes all their energy to go to their dishes wnen tne cat lood is dumped out lor them. Kind of makes one think of what is happening between the federal government and the peo pie. Too many getting too much tree or charge. FATHER C. BRUCE SPENCER, back from Washington, D.

It will appreciate being notified of who is burning and when to avoid false alarms and investigations when someone sees smoke and reports a fire. Attention is called to the City Ordinance which prohibits all burning except for papers in commercial quantities and then only in an approved incinerator. Enforcement Is not a part of the duties of the fire department. The ordinance does place responsibility direc tly on the individual for any damage result ing from his fire or discomfort or inconven ience to anyone else caused by it. C. A.
