But, there ii state election on Friday 1 Yes, this Friday is the date and four measures are to be voted up, or down, depending upon the views of the minority that happens to take the trouble to exercise their franchise, three days hence. In the judgment of this papere two of the measures should be passed and two should be defeated. First, the two which should be passed : NO. 1. The sales tan bill providing funds for old age pensions. This is the Inst chance to secure an adequate old age pen sion system in this state, for the immediate present, and prob ably for. many years to come. If it is beaten it will injure no one but those deserving elderly people who need financial help in their declining years and have to date, not been able to secure it The result will be a pretty accurate test of the sin cerity of those who have maintained they believe in old age pensions, that are feasible on one hand, and adequate on the oilier. NO. 2. The second measure which should pass is that "auth orizing student activity fees in state higher educational institutions, known as" the compulsory fee bill. There is wide r.pread misapprehension concerning this meas ure. Opponents of the measure claim it will, if passed, put an added burden on the "poor student." This is only true, assum ing the "poor student" has no interest in anything but, books, and what he can get out of them. But most of our students at tho two state institutions are poor, in the sense that a large proportion of them are working their way through, and they believe, and believe correctly there should be something in a college education beside what one can get out of books (if not, why not get an education by correspondence t) There should be, not only training of the mind, but the BODYj there should be interesting and broadening social con tacts; there should be cultural advantages in the direction of concerts and lectures, the Portland Symphony for example, and lectures by experts and scholars and public men, of nat ional and international reputation. In short, they regard college education as not only culti vation of the mind, and body, but broadening and strengthen ing of character, preparation for and the enrichment of life. And because this is their altitude they want these so-called extra curricular activities, and possible cost to themselves, which the passage of this measure will insure. This bill should never have the state board of higher education, supported by the offic ials, faculty and student bodies should have decided the matter ing the question into politics. overwhelming for compulsory fees, the principle of home rule, of educational self government should have prevailed. But as long as the menstire has been placed on the ballot, the only thing for the people of Oregon who are interested in maintaining the high standard of their educationnl institu titons, to do, is to vote "yes." TTHE two measures which, we believe, should be voted down are raising pay of the members of the Legislature without designating what that pay should be and, Changing primary elections from May to September. ""PITE pay raising bill is sound in purpose, legislators should rcccivo a "living wage" but this is tho wrong way to go about it. A vote for this measure gives the members of the Legislature the right to fix any remuneration they wish, at any time, or as many times as they wish, with no control other than a veto by tho Governor or the referendum and recall. It is an extraordinary and dangerous precedent to ostnhlish. Let the Legislators designate what pay they WANT, and then let the people, decide whether or not they wish to pay it. In short put the horse in front of the cart instead of behind it! 'T'lIE primary change measure is another proposal whioh is not generally understood. At first blush it sounds good. Why extend the political campaign with its noise and fury from .May to November, when it could all be compressed into a few weeks from September to the same election date! The answer is because such a change as this will i 1. Destroy the presidential primary. 2. Absolutely eliminate independent candidacies, to oppose any regular party nominees, and 3 Work a genuine hardship upon the candidate of small means, who can't afford to buy newspaper or radio advertising, but must cover the stntc and it is a big state to cover, by persona', contaet and personal appearance, not always easy, on short notice, to arrange. In short, (he measure goes too far. Advancing the primary a month or two might he desirables shoving it ahead four months, really destroys the primary PRINCIPLE without any REAL compensatory benefits.

Medford, Jan. 37. Ai to College Feet To the Editor: Oregon waa the first atate to adopt a presidential primary law and the first to function the InltlatlTe-Refer- endum and Recall, thereby bringing the will of the people more effectually Into government. Now the younger generation have become torch -bearers In progress. The students' successful referen dum of the tyrannical Fee Bill waa the first kind In American history and was hailed throughout the coun try aa a triumph for Justice In edu cation. In the face of their own poverty and coerclan on the part of Dr. Peav- ey and the State college officials, this heroic effort la being made to free themselves from this extra burden of a 16.00 per year being added to a tuition which Is already unreasonably high. Richard Neuberger (state chairman of the Students' Relief committee) writes to Mr. Peavey as follows, quote "I wonder what the voters of Oregon will think of a precedent which will give to the president of a state col lege, the authority to present orily one side of political Issues to students In his charge? I know of no law which authorizes the heads of schools to use school time to Indoctrinate students with one side of an Issue be fore the voters." "Everybody's Business" refers to this as "Fascism and Tyranny at the State College" and adds "consider the danger of the precedent thus estab lished." If Dr. Peavey can get away wltn this, he can also have presented co his students In the future, one side of such Issues as the sales tax who Is to be governor of Oregon and simi lar political lssuea. He will be consor, supervisor ana director or what facta shall be given the students In his charge. When the fee was voluntary, 46 per oent of them, nearly half of the student enrollment, refused to pay the fee. yet (he false claim la being made that the sftident body aa a whole wants this bill passed. Were this ridiculous claim true, why the need of compulsion? In their petition, the students ask ed to have the bill voted upon In the fall election, thereby giving them op portunity to work for it'a defeat, during the vacation months of next summer. But the legislature, evident ly sensing this, rushed It on to this special election to check-mate their efforts In behalf of Justice for the sons and daughters of the less well to do In our state. Surely the voters of Oregon will up hold these students in their struggle for an education. Vote 307-X-No. ARIEL BURTON POMEROT. Central Point, Ore. Jan. 38. Ed Note: As there la no tuttton how can It be "already unreasonably high I" Only non-residents of Oregon pay tuition at the university or O. S. C. when no one haa to pay an extra curricular fee. naturally only the moat public spirited and unselfish do pay which la unjust and undem ocratlc. The Carle Case Again To the Editor: I think your readers will be Inter- eated in a letter which I have Just received from the secretary of state relative to the matter which led me to submit to arrest recently. The let ter In part says: "In view of the fact that there is a possibility that this law did not express the true Inten tion of the legislature, I have osked for an opinion or the attorney general on this question. Also, with the ap proval of this office, a friendly suit haa been Instituted In the circuit court for Marlon county as to wheth er the 60 per oent reduction should be given to farmers on this type oi registration. If the decision Is favor able to the owners of vehicles of this type, then a refund of excess fees col lected will be made." I waa arrested for driving a "pick up" with license for a paasenger car Since my trial I have seen the law, and I saw at once that It doea not say "pickup." but plainly condemns the cara driven by all the traffic olll cers as certainly aa It doea mine. See page 18: ' Vehicles used for carrying . . , any freight, property, article or any thing, etc." According to a count which I made, the law condemns to a aio fee two-thirds of all the cars parked along the streets of Medford the day I counted. I resisted the law because It was UNJUST, forbidding, as Interpreted by the officers, a poor man to make an OPEN box on his car In place of a CLOSED box. as Is found on all coupes and roadsters and many others. I started to swear out a complaint against the chief, but was unable. In the time at my dtS' poeal, to sec the proper officer. WM. M. CARLE. Lake Creek, Jan. 35.

IF SO. you can understand th ltu atlon existing when Al Smith arose In Washington on Saturday night to deliver his epeech on the atate of the nation. It had been carefully and deliber ately prepared. It had been long awaited. It had been widely adver tised. By Saturdsy night, the whole country wa waiting on tiptoe to her It, to appraise It. to Judge whether It waa an epoch-making political ut terance or Just another disappointing dud. It WASN'T a dud. CONSIDER what happened on Sat urday night. Al Smith, a lifelong Democrat, speaking with alncerlty o obvious aa not to' be doubted, attacked savagely the Tlctorioua leadership of the psrty that ha honored him In practically every way a party can honor a man. He charged: I. That President Roosevelt ob tained his high office under false pre tenses by campaigning on a sound American platform and then, after election. ABANDONING the platform on which he had campaigned and causing to be enacted Into law prac tically the SOCIALIST platform. 3. That he has setwd the author ity and the prerogatives of eongresas. forcing It, under "must" order, to enact HIS laws. S. That he haa violated the consti tution, and when called Jo account for hia violations by th supreme court haa JEERED at the supreme court and sought to weaken Its au thority. e THESE acts. Al Smith charged, con stitute the first stagea of DIC TATORSHIP, and he added that thla nation Is now fsced by the choice be tween "the clesr, pure air of free America and the foul breath of com munistic Russia;" between "the Stare and Stripes and the red flag of the Oodles nation of the Soviet;" be tween the "Star Spangled Banner and the Communist Internationale." He concluded: "There can be only one victor. If th. constitution wins, we win. But If the constitution "Stop I Stop there I The constlu- tlon CANT LOSE. The fact Is. It ha already won but the new hasn't yet reached certain earat" A L SMITH'S speech ori" Saturday night marks a turning point In American political history. For a generation In thla country the party syatem has been a Joke. The two great partle, have stood for nothing more than Jobs and apolls and power. Voters have been Repub lican or Democrats for no better reason than that their fathers were Republicans or Democrat before them. Since the Issue of slavery was settled, there has been no Issue be tween the partlea In which people BELIEVED and for which they were willing to FIGHT. Al Smith changed all that the other night, and gave to the nation an Issue on which It can HONESTLY DIVIDE the Issue of free American Ism versus Europesn radicalism. He minced no words In doing It.
