We bad no sooner reg istered than the bellboy at our side said, tis he picked up the bags, "Right this -way, Mr. liubl." The service maid on our floor greeted tits later in the same way. Ah, how it warms the heart and inflates one's sense of importance. Merely vanity, of course, but then no less an atlthonty than Mr. Tha jltaray said : in I ! vanitv.

Moreover no olio here doubts that if his health permits he will win the Re publican primary hands down, against the divided forces of de cency and good government.

Halcin Statesman.

The present llcenso law is an absurdity ns anyone having $1.00 can secure a driver's li cense, regardless of qualifications. Eleven states nnd the District of Columbia ulready have some such tests for drivers as that pro posed for Oregon. A model ll censo law forms pnrt of the uni form vehicle code toward which tho National Safety Council has been working. Its adoption by a majority, perhaps all of the states, is only a question of time. Mr. Meier in his statement says: "Tho essence of this recom mendation is that the candidate for n license under this law to be successful must pass an exam ination, both physical and mental. The Htatement that such a law would be valuable in reducing tho number of automobile accidents cannot bo questioned. Expert test imony, national and local, strong ly indorses this plan. There are today hundreds of persons operat ing motor vehicles in this state who are mentally or physically un fit, or otherwise deficient In abil ity to operate a motor vehicle properly. The toll of lives taken by automobile accidents is increas jing. mis pruoiem must oo , vigorously dealt with and at once.' Tho legislature should have lit tle difficulty, in view of the ex perience acquired by other states, in formulating such a law for Ore gon and thereby helping reduce highway casualties. Salem Capital-Journal. ItAIUO SLAXDEIt Oregon now has no criminal slander law. Our next legislature is to be asked to enact one. Judge Kendall of Kidgwny, Johnson & Kendall is preparing it on behalf of the Better Business Bureau. The bill elevates slander into tho dig nity of a crime, instead of leav ing it beneath the notice of law, and provides that tho utterance of Hlitnder over the radio is a crime, and that for a radio li censee knowingly to permit broad casting slander is a crime. Our experience with Duncan has taught a lesson. Other states will profit by that experience. Tho de mand for radio slander laws is nation-wide, as individuals with reputations worth protecting, be they personal reputations built up by a lifetime of decent citizenship. I or ' commercial reputations built up by honest dealing, are realizing that those reputations may be vir tually destroyed among tho vast multitude who do not know the truth about those who are attack ed over tho radio. Privilego of using radio for pol itical purposes was abused by Duncan, who claimed protection for his slanders on tho ground that he was a candidate for con gress. A radio slander law would make it possible to punish this abuse. Thus oven an upright pub lic servant, or an upright candi date for public office, would bo afforded protection from vicious falsehoods intended to reflect upon his personal character. If decent men are not given this protection, it will be increasingly difficult to get them to run for office. A slander law, such as Judge Kendall is proposing, will make it unnecessary to have radio censor ship a danger to be avoided. Oregon Voter. NO CHANGE.

What heads of central banks all over the world are going to do about, gold is just now their closest secret, the subject of earnest, secret con ferences (Time, Dec. 1 nnd Dec. 15). Last week England's noted elder economist Viscount d'Abcr-, non of Stoke d'Abernon, who was her Ambassador to Germany di rectly after the war, spoke- up. as more nctlve financiers cannot very well do. Said he: "This depression Is the stupidest and most gratuitous in history!" 1 All the existing essential cir cumstances "except monetary wis dom," he declared, favor a return to prosperity and well being. Gold Is the thing about which 11)30 was stupid, about which 1931 must be wine. "The explanation of our anom alous situation," declared Lord d'Abernon.
