And we might castl-ihad a very interesting meeting and gale him for this indifference if we, well attended, especially considering were very certain , lhat prices had 'the difficulty in getting (here. really been kept down, oilher here ! Our Sunday school was very poorly In organizing for work far better than they havo been organized dur ing tho last seven years. And there ia nothing about tho structure of nlthor of the great parties that prom ises offectivo organization. Accordingly it Is of surpassing Im pcrlanco that tho next president should bo a man who is not only capable of giving an impetus lo legis lation, but one whose training and habit of mind presage an impetus in the right direction. Is Hoover the man to meet these requirements? Before that question can he answered it is necessary lo take account of the general issues that are fairly certain to ariso during the next presidential term. - - - Of these issues the most important, from a domestic point of view, cen ter In the problem of personal free dom, tho labor problem, transporta tion, price control and the tariff. The most important, from a world point of view, center in armaments nnd the application of economic power cither as a means of repression or as a means of promotion of friendly rela tions. It is fairly certain that, how ever narrowly the purely military power of the league may be restrict ed, considerable economic power will remain at its discretion. We need to consider how our next president wllf look uion projects of interna tional blockade, like the late block ade of Russia, and upon projects of International subsidy, like that of building up the economic power of I'olnnd. On most of these points we can get littlo light from Hoover's utterances. 'Unfortunately for our purpose, Jioover is a man who has worked incredibly hard and has talked in credibly little. Ooes lie approve or disapprove of the arbitrary control of tho-mails by the post office, of the extreme interpretations of the espion age aw, of the wholesale deporta tion of aliens on the niero proof of adherence to the communist parly, or, the l. -W. V.? ;V'o know of no utterance of Hoover that throws light on tjiese questions. Therefore we have to fall back on inference. Now, all the world knows that Hoover is a realist, lie detests projects that do not work, or work in a direction contrary to their intention. And ho is too intelligent to fall under tho delusion that the present re gime of terrorism .is working. No body could presume Ignorance on Hoover's part of the fact that the alien deportations are making ten enemies of the government for every one they throw out of the country, or of the fact that repression of free speech provides the ideal soil in which conspiracies flourish. Whatever Hoover's phiiost.-phy of freedom may be. freedom would he safe under his presidency, because it works because it.- opposite does not. or in any other country, by such regulations. Anyway, the point is hardly relevant, because no power of prlcec ontrol will reside in tho fede ral government alter we havo ac cepted the peace, which we will surely do before the inauguration of another, president. The tariff will no doubt become an important issue before the next presidential term expires. Just now it Is quiescent, because our Kuro pean rivals are producing little for export. Hut In two or three years tiie men who arc now advising Ku-ro-pe to go lo work will be trembl ing about the conipctilion of Kuro pean industry. There will he a tre mendous effort to raise our schedules to prevent us from forcing domesl it prices down by purchases from abroad. What atliliido would Hoover take loward such a movement? He is neither doctrinaire free trader nor doctrinaire protectionist. But moro than any other American, Hoo ver is alive to tho changes of restricting imports in order to give American producers the benefits of monopoly prices. As a realist Hoover is bound to assume a liberal attitude on the tariff question. As for armaments, Hoover never misses an opportunity to urge their reduction in the interest of fiscal economy and international peace. One reason why he is out of sympathy witli ambitious plans for aiding for eign countries through Hie extension of American credit is that those coun tries are now wasting precio'ius funds on exaggerated armies and navies. Would be favor "Hie biggest navy afloat" for America and the institu tion of universal conscription for peace time? Ho would strive lo get lor America the navy she needs, ac cording to a realistic view of tho in terests she lias to defend. - He would strive for a land army, also adequate to-our needs, but he would count, the; day cost before thrusting tile new world along Hie road of militarism that has ruined Hie old world. attended last Sunday, as there was quite a number that stayed away on account of being afraid of the "flu.'"

California -Oregon Power Company Phone 168. 216 West Main Street, Medford, Ore In the matter of tratibportntfon, Hoover, wo jiiflRo, would pluco a heavy burden of proof upon those who- deairts to Hubntittito public ownership in uny form for private ownership. That is fair. The bur den of proof ought always t rpsl with tho advocates of rhanno. Other wise ill advised or premature pro- We are safe In inferring that Hoover would he hesitant about join-I ing in international plans of coor-! eion through embargoes, blockades and the like. He was one tA the first among us to utter his approval of the dropping of tho Russian blockade, nnd he has stated that he was never In favor of that blockade, much as he hated the Holshevlk regime. As for using international power to build up states that were unable otherwise to gel on their feet. Hoover wculd proreod with extreme caution. Ho iind I believes in hclf help, for states as for individuals; if he agreed to help a r.tute in need, it would only ho toward helping Itseli, and not too generously. That may seem not very magni ficent policy. lint would the Ameri can people approve anything nu.-re magnificent .' -Or if It were proposed, would they not balk at any help whatsoever-.' We would not give the impression jects would multiply until our own that we fin nnl observe motes in country became as averse lo change as China. Whether public ownership or private ownership is to prevail ulti mately in tho I'nitod States is? a question to bo decided by considera tions of efficiency. l.an we have than conservative, efficient railways without unifica-1 and murder; but Hoover's eye which we would like lo doctor while putting off the matter vt the beams in our own. Hoover hates bunk; that we approve; but he seems to hate radical bunk more He hates disorder he seems to hate tion? And If the railways are unified, j revolutionary murders and disorders docs a significant place remain for j more thnn counter revolulionary. He private enterprise, or will railway i is more appalled by the red terror management become bureaucratic, j in liussia and Hungary than by the without even ultimate responsibility white terror of Finland and Hungary, to the people?

Tuesday afternoon as I was mak ing my rounds in search of ileum of interest to the general reader, I met a group of men, mt.jtly farmers, dis cussing the actions of our legislators and the principal topic scorned lo he the, as one man expressed ii "The tool dog law." They were giving tne poor unfortunate members of the legislature a general round-up and in the rourse of the remarks which were not at all complimentary, they tlocld ed that they simply had to tit. some thing and did not know what else to do, anil about this time another farm er joined the group and announced that he saw In the Weekly Oregon- ian that (iovernor Olcott had vetoed the bill, and then the question came up as to what would be done with the twelve or thirteen hundred dol lars that had been paid In for dog license and where tho county would be repaid the money paid out for the collars and tags that havo been sold to Ihe dog owners. And then they gave the same legislators a general round-up for passing the law forcing the farmers to brand Ihelr butter or turn it over to the rrcamery trust. And finally they decided that we hud better leave all of the old party lead- If You Don't Want to Wait Next Spring', Order Now LAST year's production of the Chandler Six was of record volume and this year's production will double it; but if you don't want to wait for your New Chandler next spring, we suggest that you order it now. This year's automobile shows have attracted crowds greater than ever before, partly perhaps because hundreds of thousands of Americans were unable to secure new cars last year. And these great crowds of motor enthusiasts have found no better value in the whole exhibit of six cylinder cars than that which Chandler offers. Chandler leads so distinctly in the medium-priced fine car field because it does offer such splendid value; because of its really marvelous motor developed through seven years of production in the Chandler plant and seven years' service on the road In the hands of a host of owners; because of its sturdy, dependable mechanical construc tion throughout the entire chassis ; and because of its attractive and comfortable body. Compare them all, all the sixes, then pick out yours. ' It will be a Chandler if you ask Chandler owners. ' Seeley V.Hall Motor Co.
