How About
EVERYONE wants to know about Governor Meier. The an
nouncement from Salem yesterday, that the Governor is
seriously considering throwing his hat in the ring, as another
"Independent," has apparently aroused great local interest, and
caused widespread speculation.
We regret our inability to give our readers the "low down".
We know no more about it, than anyone else who reads the
newspapers.
Our own guess is the announcement is one of those political
contrivances known as a "trial balloon." No doubt Governor
Meier has been urged by many of his friends to enter the guber
natorial free-for-all, believing
would have a good chance of victory.
The Governor's health has greatly improved, he likes public
life and would not be averse to another term. So why not send
up a trial balloon?
If tho reaction is favorable, "OK" the Governor will go.
If it ISN'T, "OK" again he won't. . Either way no harm'will
be done.
THIS is the OBVIOUS explanation. Perhaps it is too obvious
to be true. For there are many cross currents and under
ground forces in this gubernatorial campaign, there are rings
within rings and what might be termed the Meier ring is a
very important factor. When anyone wishes to tell Governor
Meier or his astute political aide, Henry Hanzen, anything about
the subtleties of political strategy, they will have to get up
mighty early in the morning.
So it may be and this, too, is only a guess, that Governor
Meier hasn't now, and never has had, any serious intention of
being a candidate for a second
such a possibility, had an entirely different purpose in view,
namely: throw a scare into the
toilers in the gubernatorial vineyard, and bring certain other
perspiring gentlemen into line.
Yes, that may be it. For it is
entrance in the race, would destroy whatever chances the regu
lar Republican organization has of putting over Joe Dunne.
Those chances are dwindling rapidly enough as it is. With
Governor Meier in the race, the G. O. P. regulars could as well
close up shop entirely and save the money.
So this much can be put down as CERTAIN. If this was
merely a gesture a good natured bluff, designed to bring
certain concessions from the Dunne camp, you can mark this
down in your loose-leaf notebook, they will be made, and made
pronto.
'
IJOWEVER we may be misjudging the Governor. There
may be nothing more in this announccment,'than what one
who runs, may read. . In that CP.se what will happen? Will
that trial balloon arouse sufficient enthusiasm, throughout the
state, to persuade "Julius" to jump In.
Our guess is, it won't. All in all, Julius Meier has been a
good governor. Wo know in Southern Oregon he has many
friends. We also know the right thinking and law abiding
Tcople of this community will never cease to bo grateful to him,
for-the loyal aid ho gave them, when that aid was so sorely
needed. Without him and the state police, we dislike to think
what might have happened in this section of the state, during
the turbulent days of 1933.
As far as this paper is concerned his service then will never
be forgotten we shall never cease to be grateful for it and
wo beliovc the people of this community, as a whole, feel the
same way about it.
But there is also wide spread feeling here, that if Governor
Meier intended to run for Governor, he should have entered the
primaries with the other candidates. There are three socullcd
"independent" candidates in tho
a fourth no matter how friendly they may feel toward him,
to further confuse tho issues and befog the atmosphere at this
late date.
So in cither event, wo don't expect the Governor of Ore
gon to run. But we do expect in fact we know, that this
announcement that he MIGHT, has set the political "pros"
scampering about this state, and broadcasting SOS calls, as they
haven't scampered and broadcast in many a long Hay 1

Copyright 1034 by United Press '
CHICAGO, Aug. 16. (UP) Pood
prices are soaring In the United
States, a United Press survey Indicat
ed today, with the peak still some
distance away.
Tho drought, which made vast In
roads Into food supplies, la beginning
to be felt In homes from California
to Massachusetts. Thrifty housewives
have started buying against further
price Increases. No actual hoarding
has been noted In most major cities,
but the larders are being filled.
Leading national distributors of
canned goods admit they are. buying
in the open market, at a premium,
because of general expectancy of
higher prices and possibility of some
shortages. One company Is buying
on a 80 day supply basis now as
against a previous policy of a 30 day
supply.
But It la the housewife, the United
Press survey showed, who Is now
most concerned about rising prices.
Instances of this are shown In the
following:
St. Paul: Grocers reported house
wives are complaining about higher
prices.
Canned Goods Rise
Kansas City, Mo.: Grocers report
cannea goods sales are about 10 per
cent heavier than normal.
Chicago grocers report wholesale
prices rapidly are climbing "out of

Dallas grocers report canned gooda
sucn as tomatoes, corn and peaa
have advanced during the drought
from 10 to 70 percent.
The old reliable of "meat and po

households Is receiving the biggest
boost at the moment. Potatoes are
stationary but meats are climbing

York City from 33 to 39 cents a
pound. Bacon in Boston has Jumped
18 cents a pound to 48 cents since
May 1 with gains of three to four
cents a pound recorded In most other
cities. Eggs generally have advanced
3 to 5 cents a dozen with New York
City housewives paying 38 cents a
dozen now against 29 cents on May 1.
Milk steady
Milk prices, generally, have remain
ed about steady but In St. Louis the
price of cream today advanced from
24 cents to 30 cents a pint. Bread
prices are fairly steady. St. Louis
and one or two other cities reported
advances. Flour has climbed forward
steadily m all reporting cities.
Fresh vegetables, ordinarily inex
pensive at this season have Jumped
to a position where they are 50 to 100
per cent higher than a year ago In
Washington, D. c. They are com
paratively steady In New York but
sweet corn now at its zenith sells

f OVERNMENT moves to limit own
Vj ershlp of machine guns.
After this month, if you want one
of these tools, you'll have to register
It with the commissioner of Internal
revenue, if you want one after Sep
tember 34, youll have to get a spe
cial order from the commissioner of
Internal revenue, be fingerprinted and
pay the price of the gun plus a sales
tax of 1200.
So, If you're a bandit and think
you need a machine gun tn your
business, you'd better accept this
timely warning and get it right away,
rT"HE government, of course, might
1 prohibit altogether the posses
slon of machine guns.
In that event, only criminals would
possess them as law-abiding citizens
would only obey the law while crlmi
nals wouldn't. A lot of good people
thing the government should pro
hibit entirely sale and owneshlp of
pistols, the idea being that If NO
BODY had a pistol nobody could
shoot anybody with a pistol.
The effect of such a law, experi
ence eaches us, would be to limit
ownership of pistols to the criminal
classes.
A S TO machine guns, this writer,
" whose opinion Is probably of no
vast Importance, thinks the govern'
ment might well make possession of
such a weapon by other than a po
lice officer first-hand evidence of In
tent to commit a crime, and send all
such possessors to Jail,
What use would an ordinary, law
abiding citizen have for a machine
gun, anyway?

how would you like to live in a coun

way and they found it out?
