The Voters
T3E Voters pamphlet, has been distributed, and copies are
now in the hands o the electorate. There are eight measures
to be voted upon this year, some of them, as usual, seeking to
amend the state constitution, and thus if passed, alter our basic
form of government. , . . .
Needless to say these pamphlets should be carefully read and
stjidied, between now and the time to vote. But unless -this year
proves to be an exception, just before election day, there will
be a last minute rush to this office, by those who haven't even
opened the pamphlet, for advice as to how they should vote
on this measure or that.
Of course this paper is always glad to give advice. And
before election day we will
garding all state candidates and
past. -
But we think it would be much better, if our readers would
open the voters pamphlet, carefully read it, and decide for
themselves.
TPirERE was a time, when the type of direct legislation, repre-
sented by the initiative and referendum, irritated this col
umn very much. We believed many of the measures too involved
and complicated, for the average voter, to 'understand, and
could discern in such a practice the undermining, if not the
eventual destruction, of representative government.
This year it is practically impossible for us to recapture that
point of view So much has happened, in this country and the
world, during the past few years !
With Democracy crumbling to destruction, practically every
where, but in -the English speaking world; the survival and
perpetuation of all truly democratic processes, appears to us of
greater political importance, than anything else.
And this system, known as the Oregon system, whatever its
defects, is the very essence of a pure and free democracy.
Democracy is the rule of the people and in the popular referen
dum, the people rule, and no one else. True the people may
make mistakes, but such mistakes are their own, and when
experience reveals them, they can readily be corrected.
We feel sure anyone, who has studied the political situation
abroad, has seen the destruction of free speech, free, press, free
assembly, all personal liberty and popular rights, as in Russia,
Italy, Germany and now in Spain, will share this view, when
anyone feels disposed to criticize the free democracy, we enjoy
here at home. ''
Instead of criticizing what we have we should get down
on .our marrow bones, every now and' then, and thank the Lord
for having it.
IN fact as fiir as this paper is

ministration, lies in our conviction, that his program is essential,
to the preservation of the democracy we enjoy.
Instead of his being an enemy of democracy, he is its greatest
protector and friend. For whether we like it, or don't like it,
we are living in a new age. Unleashed natural forces are at
tacking democracy on all sides. And the only way to' preserve
democracy is to improve it, to bring it up to date, so that it
can withstand the forces of destruction, which throughout the
world are assailing it.
President Roosevelt has the wisdom and the vision to see
this. His opponents either won't or can't.
It is really the age old struggle, between those with vision,
and those who lack it and as the Good Book says, where there
is NONE "tlio people perish."

of them struck the editorial eye, as such convincing refu
tation of moBt of the loading arguments, now advanced by the
Lantlon cheering section, that it is printed herewith:
"I am In sympathy with most of the New Deal alms. I like
tha Roosevelt tariff policies; th. securities and atock exchange

championship of labor. I approve publlo works, regulation of
public utilities (Including government 'yardsticks'), easy farm
and home credit end a more equitable distribution of the na
tlon'a wealth. I am strong for social security I scoff at
the Idea of . U. a. autocracy or Fascism. To me Al Smith,
Msrk Sullivan and tha Republican alarmist, who proclaim the

with political phantasmagoria of their own making. Aa for

among my disciples are many who

appeal to me. I suppose the atti

say) Is like that of the pastor wno

oppose something, organizations of

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Soldering
Zs soldering dangerous to health? If
so, in what way? , . . Mra. P. S.)
Answer Casual soldering Isn't. Con
slant or regular occupatlng might en
tall some hazards. Imposlblo to advise
without knowing particulars, if tht
work place la properly ventilated the
risk to health la minimum.
Softened Water
Is city water softened by (an arti
ficial softener) In any way harmful
for drinking? If so, what would you
suggest for drinking water, where the
water supply is too hard? Two mem
bers of family are subject to arthritis.
. . .(V. C. L.)
Answer No, water so fcoftened is
not suitable for drinking. I do not
think hard water Is objectionable for
drinking unless It has a disagreeable
taste. You might try drinking rain
or snow water, or bottled water from
a mountain spring, or distilled water.

Is his own physician.

. , Al Smith Is Defended
To the Editor:
We are not commissioned to offer
a defense for Al Smith. In his es
pousal of the Landon cause but It
must be admitted that in 1032 . Al
Smith espoused the cause of Roose
velt while Roosevelt waa standing on
the "Democratic platform 100 per
cent." Smith made four speeches for
Roosevelt In the large cities, urging
his election to the presidency, and
now you say, "Al Smith is sore" be
cause he can never be president on
account of Roosevelt getting the nom
ination In- 1032. Smith certainly
knew in 1032 that he could never be
president, for in order to avoid a re
pudiation of Roosevelt's admin 1st ra.
tlon he must be renominated In 1036.
If Smith were "sore" he would not
have- urged Roosevelt's election In
1932. He would have "taken a walk1
then.
Evidently the editor believes that
no man can rise above mere partisan
ship and espouse the principles of
true Americanism and reject the prln
clples ol socialism when espoused by
the president of the United States.
Evidently, If a forraer friend de
nounces the president for urging
congress to pass unconstitutional
laws, he Is "sore," and the presl
dent had nine of these unconstitu
tional laws passed by his "rubber
stamp" congress; and some of them
the president knew were unconsti
tutional when he told his "yes" con
gress that these measures "must" be
passed even If they were unconstitu
tional. Is an outstanding American
citizen "sore' because he criticizes the
president of the United States for
calling the Supreme Court a "horse
and buggy court," because that court
declares nine of his laws unconstitu
tional ?-
Al Smith came up from the side
walks of New York from poverty. He
served repeatedly In the legislature
of hla state and waa four times gov
ernor of the greatest state in the
union; and we have yet to hear from
any source except the Tribune that
the Integrity of Al Smith was ever
before questioned.
But how about ex-Governor Ely of
Massachusetts a Democrat who was
in the convention that nominated
Roosevelt In 1932? How about James
Warburg who was Roosevelt's assist
ant secetary of the treasury and re
signed because he could not stomach
the New Deal? How about Balnbrldge
Colby, President Wilson's secretary
of state? How about Carter Glass, Wil
son's secretary of the treasury, who
denounces the "New Deal," Glass,
who Is senator from Virginia? How
about Newton D. Baker, who was

To the Editor:
This seems to be not only a "pats
the buck" and "miss the buck" sea
son In the Oregon wooded woods, but
also In the national political woodi.
Frequently when vote-hunter Knox
fires his wild broadsides In his eager
ness to "bag the big game," while
leaving his hunting partner to stalk

caliber but high-powered "22," Mr
Knox not only knocks the bush be
hind which Mr. Landon Is skulking,
frightening the would-be "kill" away,
but has severely wounded hla partner
several times. It apears now that
only the briefness of the "hunting
season" may prevent Knox from fir

does not, his otherwise harmless hunt

came to life and normal heart ac
tion; our nublio schools were again
opened to teachers and pupils; tna
CCO camps were inaugurated, which
saved millions of our youths and their
families from becoming tramps, beg
gars and perhaps criminals.
The World war cost ollllons In
money, and the lives of millions of
the strongest and- finest young men,
not to mention the anguish and sor
rrow of millions of parents, wives
and sweethearts. In this war with
depression the lives of our young men
were saved, In addition to a good les
son learned that other wara can be
avoided If money profits are taken
out of them. In this war we'll not
have thousands of young men crip
pled beyond all recognition, lying In
hospitals, with eyes, limbs, portions
of their heads, faces or other parts of
their bodies gone, and all hope blight
ed; and other thousands too crippled
to do a day,'s work. These "soldiers"
of the CCC camps are improved phy
sically, mentally and spiritually foj
having served there, and the better?
they serve the more benefits they
gain.
And so, the saving of our youth
and the benefits their parents and
families received or the saving of
our public schools each Is well worth
to our future citizenry all of the bil
lions spent by the New Deal. Yet,
each of the Improvements put Into
effect by the administration for the
welfare and benefit of mankind shares
in that expenditure of a few billion
man-made dollars.
Recognizing, and conceding that
some errors have been made, (have
we never made one? and how big la

for the benefit of the many amount
to so much that we should give him
our support and encouragement In
the good work he Is doing.
