The Voice of the Voter
In two weeks Oregon will hold a state primary
election. Usually such an event is heralded by the
» visits of candidates and wide newspaper and radio
publicity at this stage, but unless interest is suddenly
aroused the day will pass with a very light vote.
Judging from the voice of the populace, there is com
placency with the present order, and indifference to
change. There is more interest in sugar rationing
than who will be chosen as political nominees for the
fall election. If the average voter were asked today
what he will do May 15th, he would say, “I don’t
know,” or “I’ll be working on my job,” or perhaps,
“Who’s running anyway?”
And yet that day is vastly important. We will se
lect nominees for the United States senate, congress,
for Governor and other state, district and county of
fices. These men will be factors in the conduct of
our government for the next two years. We are in
the greatest war of all history to maintain our demo
cratic form of government. The exercise of the right
to cast our ballot is the fundamental strength of that
government.
In contrast, we hear announced in Europe the
power of life and death and control of all privileges
vested in a tyrannical dictator. The freedom of the
individual is dethroned. The absolutism of a Cae
sar, or of Charles V, or of the Czars, or of the mon-
chies the rise of democracies destroyed, is again re
stored on one continent and is seeking to control the
entire world.
Lest we forget that these were once one with Nin-
evali and Tyre and that freedom is still at stake, we
should warm up to our constitutional privilege to
protect our liberties with that simple process of cast
ing our ballots in the selection of capable men to
govern us and protect our rights.
This may sound like too much grandeur of history
for a state primary, but is the cold facts. What we
must do to protect our American way of life is to
enlist at the polls as well as in the battlefield. No
voice will be heard so well in the conduct of things
to come as that of the citizen-voter and we hope that
on May 15th, in our own area, he will give a good
account of himself.

these amazing reductions in your elec

public treasury! Pacific Power & Light
has put up all the money for its power
plants, transmission lines and sub
stations. and has taken all the risks of
pioneering and development.
Instead of receiving a tax subsidy,
PP&L has already paid over $10,000.000
in taxes. This year alone its rapidly
increasing tax bill will exceed Si.000,000.
