There Is an Election, Friday!
THIS announcement will come as a shock, no doubt, to many
of our reader. 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.
To sum up this papers liKCOMMKNOATlONS regarding
the primary are as follows

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.

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.

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.
