"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.

Dear Editor:
Please renew our subscription
to the Gazette-Times. 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.'

about thl presidential election U
the Ui k of IV debates, and inev
Iee quite let down about It
When the absorbing NImv
Kennedy debate were on. they
commanded a great deal of at
tention, and It was assumed that
this would tart a new custom
and tradition whereby all people
In lh rountrv could flip a
switch and their top randl

While It placed a great deal of
rreasure on the ranaiuatr. ii
did elve the voters a Kir"
chance to compare them.
Sui-h debate would have en
livened proceeding considerably
this year, and the voting public
wouldn't have felt quite a weary

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.

The Fire Department of the City of Heppner
will no longer require permits for burning. 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.
