Hoover, a Devotee of Policies That Work
Hoover undertook a great work
ond carried it through with such sig

peoples he stands out as a man higher
than tho work itself. Tor thai every
American must he grateful to- li i tit

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.

Tuesday afternoon as I was mak

a group of men, mt.jtly farmers, dis
cussing the actions of our legislators

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

that he saw In the Weekly Oregon-

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.

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. '
