IS
The Recall of Governor Meier
CO A recall bag been started against Governor Meier. The
k-' charges are: the governor is utterly devoid of leadership,
necessary to the office; that the real duties of the office have
been left to persons whom the people did not elect; that the
incompetency of the governor and his inattention to tbe duties
of the office, have placed the state in an impossible condition.
None of these charges if true would justify a recall, particu
larly near the close of the governor's term. The recall is only
justified as an EMERGENCY measure, when an office holder
has shown himself so unfit for office, that tbe public welfare
demands his immediate retirement. Then the expense of such
action, and the internal dissension and turmoil, attendant upon
it, renders the recall inadvisable, when the incumbent's term is
practically over. Far better sense for the people who don't want
Governor Meier to get busy selecting someone they DO want,
and electing their candidate in the regular way, in 1934.
OUT sense, unfortunately, has little to do with politics, and
- less to do with the initiative, referendum and recall, as it
functions, in this state.
Under the conditions which prevail in Oregon now, and have
prevailed throughout the Meier administration, no man at the
head of the state government could be personally or politically
popular. Tbe wonder is NOT that a recall has at last been
started against Governor Meier; but that it was not started
LONG ago. The fact that it has only been started six or eight
months before the next state campaign will open, is a pretty
good tribute to the governor's ability to "get by", to success
fully ride the tidal wave of discontent and revolt, which the
most serious depression in the nation's history, has produced.
WITHOUT certain qualities of leadership this couldn't have
been done. WITHOUT some genuine executive ability, three
years of comparative political peace, would have been impossible.
"PHE Mail Tribune opposed Governor Meier for election, and
certainly can't be accused of partisanship in his favor, or
any prejudice against his opposition. We have worked under
seven-state administrations, West, Withycombe, Olcott, Pierce,
Patterson, Norblad and Meier, and in all fairness would state,
that with the possible exception of Oswald West, Governor Meier
has been in leadership and efficiency the equal of any of them.
His campaign slogan of "cheap
to the taxpayers," has not been
paign slogans, molasses to catch flies HAVE been I He has
materially reduced the cost of
hard to reduce the cost of local government, and we could recite
inumerable instances where it took courage to take a definite
stand, "id Governor Meier has never faltered always been
there when needed and on the right side. His effective assistance
to the fruit industry, in southern Oregon, alone, justifies a feel
ing of gratitude and appreciation in this section of the state.
DUT DOES SUCH A FEELING EXIST! Among a few, per-
sonally familiar with what was done, yes. But among the
rank and file, we doubt it. Just as there Is no sense, there is
no gratitude in politics. When conditions are good, the head of
the government IS; when they aren't, he ISN'T. That's about
all there is to it, as far as practical politics is concerned.
s e e e
IT IS the weakness inherent in
if you please in democracy,
whole to think things through
ineir neacia instead of their emotions.
But it is not a fatal weakness. It is a weakness that. .n h
overcome by education and experience. If the recall fails as it
snould to secure the required support it will show the people
of Oregon have learned by their past experiences. If the recall
is filed, and an election follows, regardless of how it comes out,
they will learn from THAT experience.
llE live and learn. We still have faith, that eventuallv
democracy will show the
si -
uies, or common sense and good
eaatraint, which are necessary to its success, in fact to its
survival.
Toward this end, we urge our readers, if recall petitions are
presented to them, to refuse to sign, and thus promote better
government in this state instead of retarding it.
War Must Go, or
VS democracy has this to learn. And the world, the
human race has something else to learn.
That something else is this: unless the human race can de
stroy war ; war will destroy the human race.
We don't mean pacifism. We don't mean immediate and
literal application' of Christianity, Both are theoretically sound,
but praotioally, impossible.
We do mean establishing a will to peace stronger than the
will to war. We do mean, a world opinion strong enough to
enforce peace, and with the power at any given time to do it.
That, as we see it, is the only way. And it must be done
by the world, just as the salvation and perpetuation of democ
racy, must be done, within the various democratic nations, by
the PEOPLE THEMSELVES, developing the capacity to think
things through to a logical conclusion.
THE people must see that war, ANY war, (except a war
ACTUALLY in self defense), is AGAINST their self inter
est; that peace, peace is TO their self interest.
In other words the human race must become, what it isn't
today really CIVILIZED.
It must be made to see that war, with all its appeal to robust
manhood, its deep seated traditional urge, is aa out of date
as the stage coach.
That the end of war, will not mean a decadent or effeminate
race; it will really mean a stronger raoe, a race that is wise
and self controlled, that has the sense to divert the combative
instinct, to fighting things like
instead of fighting other races, that, essentially speaking are
no different from their own.
This must be done, if what we now call civilization is to sur
vive; just as the capaoity of true self government, must be
evolved, if what is known as democracy is to survive I

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
a JflLUONS of bushels of wheat, lj'
Its. tag unprotected on railroad
atatlon platforms throughout Russls
are threatened by destruction and
decay unless the grain can be ehlp
ped rapidly to morketa.
It cant be moved to the markets.
It appears, because of lack of rail
road equipment.
IT will be tough on the Russian
owners of this wheat If It should
be destroyed by the weather. But Its
destruction would help to reduce the
world surplus, thus benefiting wheat
growera elsewhere.
Zt's an old stste of affaire when
destruction of vast quantities of food
csn be construed ss of benefit to
ANYBODY, Isn't It?
It's a bsdly Jumbled world we're
living In.
SURPLUS. Surplus. Surplus. Over
production. Swsmplng of mar
kets, with resulting ruinous prices
to producers.
These sre the things we read of
and talk about. All of s sudden we
have learned how to produce more
than we can PAY FOR.
So everything Is out of joint,
MARK this, for'lt Is Important:
We AREN'T producing more
than we COULD CONSUME If all of
us were able to OBTAIN aul the
things we want, for the capacity of
human beings to consume Is prac
tically unlimited.
What we've done Is this: We've de
veloped production more rapidly than
we've been able to develop distribu
tion. WHAT la prosperity, anyway?
Well, here Li a fairly accurate
answer: It is a BALANCED state of
supply and demand, wherein there
le a market at fair prices for every
thing that la produced.
Isn't thst about HH
ANOTHER question: What brings
about this BALANCED stste of
supply and demand that producea
prosperity
The answer to that question lsnt
easy, but It goes something like this:
When EVERYBODY Is able to ex
change, on a FAIR AND EQUAL baa
Is, what he produces for what the
other fellow produces, there is a bal
Inflation to Make Jobs,
Stabilize Dollar Value
Every one Interested In the discus
sion of Inflation should read Prank
Jenkins' column in Sunday's Mail Tri
bune In which he defines "printing
press money", that la I. O. u's Issued
by the government and "bond money".
that la money backed by government
bond issues. Except In one case 'the
government pays Interest and In the
other It does not, there is no differ
ence. The security back of each kind
of money is Just the same.
However, as Mr. Jenkins points out
the quantity of bond money that
could be issued would depend upon
the amount of bonds that could be
sold. While tf commodity money was
used, not backed by bond issues, the
price level of commodities would de
termine as to whether the volume of
money would be Increased or de
creased. After the price of commodi
ties was raised to the desired level the
volume of money In circulation would
not be Increased until prices began
to sag.
Again Z want to point out that a
commodity dollar la not a flat dollar.
Back of every commodity dollar Issued
Is the declared policy of the govern
ment to stabilize its purchasing pow
er at ft fixed value In commodities.
So the amount of government I. O.
U's In circulation would be controlled.
In previous articles I have discussed
meant of control. Prance controlled
Inflation. The value of a franc went
from twenty cents down to four cents
and here It was stabilized and It
value In gold haa not been permitted
to fluctuate since then. Government
I. O. U's, the puchaslng power of
which Is established and stabilized,
are the commodity dollars with which
a payroll should be provided to put
the unemployed to work In non-commodity
producing enterprises and
with which inflation and a higher
price level for commodities should be
accomplished.
Value of gold In dollars alone
should not be the messurtng stick.
nor should the price of commodities
In dollars outside the United States
have any bearing. A strict control of
all necessary Imports should be
brought about by reciprocity agree
ments Instead of controlled by the
imposition of tariffs. Imports would
be regulated by quotas as France now
controls Imports Into her territory.
I have suggested a fifty cent mini
mum wage. Now we will presume
that thla minimum wage would na

anced state of supply and demand,
and there Is no such thing s over
production. Tbe amount produced baa nothing
to do with over-production. It'a all s
question of distribution of FAIR
exchange of what people HAVE for
what they WANT.
LETS Illustrate' '
Suppose you produce bets snd
your next-door neighbor produces
ahoea. As long ss you can exchange
one hat for one pair of shoes, every
thing Is sll right. The more bsts
you produce, the more shoes you csn
hsve.
But when something goes wrong
with the rsee of exchange snd you
have to trade TWO hate for ONE
pair of shoes, you soon run out of
hsts. Then you csn't trade any more,
for you haven't any hats.
And mark thla: When you run out
of hats to trsde. your neighbor no
longer hss a market for his ahoes.
LET'S get at it 'another way. Pros
perity, defined In the simplest
possible words. Is HAVINO the things
we WANT.
The more we produce, the more
we csn HAVE. But each of us can't
produoe with his own hands all the
things he wants. 80, lnorder to get
what we want we have to exchange
what we produce for what others
produce.
As long aa the large rate of ex
change Is fair and equal, the mose
we produce the more we are enabled
to consume and there la no such
thing aa over-production.
WE'VE aolved pretty well the prob
lem of production which both
ered the world for ao many centur
ies. What we need to do now Is to
solve the problem of distribution, ao
that the more we produce the more
we can have.
NRA Is an effort to do that. It Is
a blundering effort, to be sure; a sort
of blind reaching out In the dark for
something we want and dont Just
know how to get.
But at least It Is an effort to ac
complish something tremendously
worth while. Let's give it that credit.

employed, a fifty per cent Increase In
the price level of commodities over
present prices. That would mean that
gold would sell for approximately $45
per ounce instead, of t)30 per ounce,
that Is if the number of hours of
labor to produce an ounce of gold
remains the same as at present. When
enough I. O. U's were put in circula
tion by the government to bring up
the price level, for Illustration, of gold
to $45 per ounce then the government
would do just what Prance did, tt
would balance Its budget. It would
collect each year in income taxes the
full amount necessary to meet the
government "payroll." The govern
ment would do this, as I have previ
ously pointed out, even If it had to
levy an income tax on all workers,
even on those working for the mint
mum wage for the government in
non-commodity producing enterprise.
Perhaps we would find the rise in
the price level of commodities used
In the United States woVild correspond
closely from day to day to the value
of gold in commodity dollars. The
volume of commodity dollars put in
circulation, paid out to meet the
government "payroll" would be in

Ye Poet's Cornei
Symbols of Life.
Do not bring me flowers.
But ripening fruits and grain.
Flowers are the morn of life.
Ripe fruits our earthly gain.
Babes are the tender shoots;
Later the buds and flowers;
Anon the petals and ponnel blow
These are youthful powers.
Later comes the ripening fruit
The full corn in the ear
Strength of full manhood
And womanhood appear.
When the blades turn yellow,
Tie the hair turning gray;
Leaves aTe turning autumn,
AHng life's rugged way.
Ah, later comes the reaper.
To garner the fruit and com;
To place them nl the storehouse,
To await the eternal mron.
