WHAT do you and, I, who are Just common, ordinary citizens, think about that? The chances are we don't think much about It, one way or the other; regarding it as some body else's problem. ( But if WE were in the grocery business, and were strictly regulated by law and were told exactly what we could do and what we couldn't do and how much we could charge for w.hat we had to sell and Just bow much we must pay our employees, whereas our competitor across the street WASN'T regulated, but was free to do as he pleased, cutting prices whenever he chose and paying bis help what he liked, we would do a LOT of thinking about it. And we would want our competitor regulated by law, the same as we were, so that he would no longer have an advantage over us. HERE is a statement with w.hlch most thinking people will agree: If toe railroads aren't permitted to help themselves out of their present difficulties, their financial troubles will get so bad that the government would have to lake them over. That would mean a fundamental and tre mendous change In our institutions. This writer, for one, doesn't want to see that happen. XJOT long ago the Sutherlln gun club released a number of wild turkeys in Douglas county, hoping that In time they would propagate, aa the Chinese pheasant has, and thus provide a new and attractive sport for Southern Oregon. A few days ago three men from an adjoining county were arrested and charged with killing these re cently released and still quite tame birds. They pleaded guilty. It takes all kinds of people to make a world, doesn't it? fVREGON'S fish and game are among the most important re sources of this state. They mean a great deal to you and me, whether or not we ever hunt or fish. They mean a great deal for this reason. They bring people here from other states to enjoy our great out doors. These people spend money when they come. The money they bring here and spend helps to offset the money we SEND OUT OP ORE GON for such tilings as automobiles and tires and gasoline, thus adding to our bank deposits and providing more credit with which to do busi ness and provide employment. So, If we are wise, we will not waste these resources w.hich, If right ly used, will add to our prosperity. - IN THIS year of 1932, which doesn't rate as a very active year, this country will spend for new highways a little better than a BILLION AND A THIRD dollars. This figure la vouched for by the federal bureau of public roads. In the same year we shall spend for new automobiles to run on these roads at least a billion dollars more. A lot of gloomy people try to tell us thst the day of BIO THINGS In this country Is over. Spending two and a third BILLION dollars In a bad year for new roads and new automobiles to run on them doesn't sound much aa If the day of big things in this country is over, docs It? Don't pay much attention to gloomy talkers. They never did any body much good. CM. Goethe, president of the California Immigration Study commission. Is traveling in Africa.

(AP) Governor James Rolph's decision on the pardon application of Thom as J. Mooney marked the climax of a 15-year fight which started with the conviction of Mooney and Warren K. Billings 'on charges of bombing the San ' Francisco Pre paredness clay parade of 1918. The controversy over Mooney's convic tion became International In Its ramifications. In the early stages of the fight President Woodrow. Wilson and other high officials of the government were among those to add their voices to the demand for executive clemency for Mooney. Trial Judge, Jurors, lesser prosecuting officials, private citizens and organized labor sought vainly to have the state give Mooney another chance to vin dicate himself by trial or to per suade three governors to grant ex ecutive clemency. Except for a clra- mutation of Mooney's death sen tence to life Imprisonment, all these were unfruitful. i Walker Takes Interest Then Mayor James J. Walker of New York City; Frank P.

BALLOT BID US BY LARGE MARGIN Printing of tn bsllots for the pri mary election May 20. was yesterday awarded by the county clerk's office to the Mall .Tribune commercial printing department on competi tive bid, for $250 the low bid. The other bidders were the Dally News Publishing company, who submitted a bid for 307.e7, and the Marshall- Smlth-Leonard printing concern with a bid of t359.eS. For several trs the county clerk's office has apportioned the ballot printing betweon the Mall Tribune Job department and the Dally News the Mall Tribune being given pri mary ballot printing and the Dally News, the printing of the fall bal lots. In 1028. when the Dally News was launched. It was assigned the print ing of the general election ballots, and received therefore the sum of $841.40, according to the county clerk records. The same year the Mall Tribune was granted the pri mary ballot work, and received in payment the lesser aum of $565.05, In 1030, the Dally News received $842.15 for the general election bsl lots, and the Mall Tribune $647.15 for printing the primary ballots. The marked saving to the ta payers thia year, Is generally at tributed to the Introduction of com petitive bidding, the decline In pro duction costs, and the fact that nearly half of this yoar's ballots are of a much smaller size, as a result of the Introduction of the non-partl- san supreme court ballot. The primary ballots for each elec tion consists of two sets, one for the Republican party and one for the Democrats, with official and sample bellow for each party. In printing the primary ballots, the law says: When two or more persons are csndldates for th enomlnalton to the same office, the county clerk shall divided the total number of ballots Into sets so aa to provide a substan tial rotation of all the names of the respective candidates, beginning with the form arranged In alphabetical or der, thereafter rotating by removing one name from the top of the list, fo- each nomination or office, and placing aald name at the bottom of the list for esoh successive set "f balots. This Is done so the name of each candidate, regardless of the number of candidates for sac office, shall appear at the head of the Hat on a nequal number of ballots. Thia necessitated rotating names on 13 different offices In 1028 on the Re publican ballot and four different piacej on the Democratic. Changes were also made for each of the 58 precincts In the county on each party ballot. This required a great deal of additional time and care and mi all done by the Mall Tribune lob department. At the general election there la only one ballot, not two as In the primary the name of party candi dates all appear on the one ballot and there Is no rotating of names aa on both primary ballots, and bo ohanges are made on the ballot, ex cept the names of the precincts, which Is also dune on the primary ballots. w 1 .
