ORID GOSSIP The sports editor of the Eugene fceglster-Ouard baa evolved a plan to unhaab the annual hashed state of the state high school football title. The Idea la commendable and badly needed. It, however. Is a holy terror of a nut to crack. Under the plan, the state would be divided Into four districts, reduced to two by elimination. The two would battle for the state title on Thanksgiving Day. The plan also provides for se lection of district champions ' by sports writers of the district. Right there the Journalistic fur would start to fly, and the civic pride atart boiling. A district champion selected by any method other than by grid Iron combat would never meet unani mous approval. Several yeara ago a state title plan waa cooked up. roughly as follows: The state was divided Into two sections Western Oregon end Cast; ern Oregon. Each section had "A" teams, consisting of the large schools and "B'' teams, the smaller ones, each with schedules. The winners would be the "A" champions and the "B" tltllsts. They would meet winners of similar honors In the other district, and the final victors be the champions, more or less un disputed. The main Idea waa lo match tesms of similar sires, to prevent honest but inflated title claims, often based upon elephantine Korea run up against weaker squads. The father of the Idea held. If the combatants possessed equal power and coaching, there would be less gridiron massa crw, due more to the Inferiority of the loser, than the superiority of ths winner. He always argued a team that won by i II la 0 score, waa guilty of nothing less thsn mur derous publicity. His stand also tended for more cssh customers. No body, It was argued, wanted to watch an outlandlshly lopsided game, unless he had a boy playing left end. The Eugene crusader wants sug gestions. He might be able to whit tie one out of the above.

Why We Oppose Mahoney DETER ZIMMERMAN, of Yamhill, 100 dirt farmer and proud of it, has no ue for Willis Mahoney. Peter sits far over on the left and is heart and soul for the underdog, but he can't stomach the former Mayor of Klamath Falls. So Peter is actively campaigning against Mahoney, using considerable space in the Oregonian to air his views (which incidentally are persuasive ones) and using all the personal influence he has, to bring abont the election of Rufus Holman. NOW we believe 'this defection by Peter Zimmerman is very significant and should be carefully considered, by all good people hereabouts, who are still disposed to mark a ballot for the plausible opportunist from Klamath Falls. Particularly if they do so on the assumption he is a genuine liberal and a devoted crusader for the forgotten man. If they will do, as Peter did, and go a little beneath the glittering surface, they too will find their mistake, and as sincere devotees of the liberal cause, mark their ballots accordingly. For Rufus Holman IS a liberal, is and always has been, and what is more important is an entirely sincere one. He opposed the greedy anti-social practices of Big Business, includ ing the so-called power trust, long before Willis Mahoney ever heard of Oregon, and whatever may be said against him, on purely personal grounds of amiability or otherwise, no one who KNOWS Rufus holman and his public record, will deny that he has been devoted to bettering the lot and promoting the welfare of the average citizen of this pubic office, and as long as he or in Washington, will continue In other words Rufus Holman rings TRUE, and Mr. Mahoney DOESN'T, and anyone who will take the trouble to compare the records and characters of the has done, will find this out. So much for Mahoney from the standpoint of the dirt farmer, the man of the soil, the genuine, as opposed to the partisan or professional, progressive. IF. .Peter . Zimmerman's experience were unique, eicep- tional, it would not be so investigation will show, that Mr. Zimmerman's conclusions have been reached by practically EVERYONE who has followed his example, that is gone beneath Mahoney's smiling exuberance, his hearty handshake, his ingratiating, plausible ways, and sized up the man HIMSELF. Take his own town of Klamath Falls, for example, where he was Mayor for several terms, and is more intimately known than anywhere else. Local pride IF nothing else would unite most communities in this state, behind their own townsman running for such an important place as a seat in the senate of the United States. But not so in Klamath Falls. place have taken the trouble to to oppose Mahoney. More than tion of that city, went on record against him, and even the KlamHth papers refusing to support him, have thrown their support to the Republican candidate. WHYT Because they KNOW the man, and agree he IS a phoney. He doesn't wear well, he doesn't ring true. Tme, he has a pleasing personality and a fluent tongue, but he is at heart merely ANOTHER self-seeking politician, a pro fessional carpet-bagger, not really interested in the welfare and advancement of this state, or any other, but only interested in what will advance Mr. Willis Mahoney. That isn't the verdict of this paper, alone, it is the verdict of his neighbors and follow townsmen, who certainly can't be accused of prejudice but must really know the man, as he is. THIS, we repeat, is a matter of decided significance. When a candidate for high office, comparatively a newcomer, who has done nothing but run for public office sinco his arrival, is invariably least liked whore ho is BEST known, a warning signal is certainly indicated, and those who have planned to vote for him, are justified in looking carefully up and down the track, before they do so. FINALLY there is the matter of partisanship, support of President Roosevelt and his, program. Mr. Mahoney prides himself upon being 100 for the New Deal. Rufus Holman, on the other hand, while endorsing the chief purposes of the administration, particularly those of a humanitarian character, will refuso to be a "yes man," will oppose certain New Deal objectives he regards as unsound and undesirable for the na tional welfare. We admit there is something to this argument, that is, those who arc.100 percent New Deal supporters, are justified, THEORETICALLY,' in favoring Mahoney also 100 and op posing Holman. But when it conies down to cases, have they any confidence that Mahoney will do as he says, particularly if in the next six years, there should be a political reaction, and the basic principles of the New Deal, say three years hence, should be as UNPOPULAR, as they are popular todayl In other words does anyone who KNOWS Mahoney belicvo he would stick to his guns and vote contrary to his own political self interest, with the retention of his well paid soft spot in the U. S. senate at staket Don't make the three fates above, who see all and know all, break down and laugh I We Favor Justice Bean SPEAKING of Peter Zimmerman there is another Zimmer man, Howard K. of Astoria, on Tuesday's ballot. He is running against Chief Justice Benn of the State Supreme Court, and a few weeks ago eame into this office and asked our support. We couldn't give him that, but we did avee to inform tlio voters that lie, Howard K., is no relative of, and should not be confused with, Peter Zimmerman, who although he has many virtues, certainly does not possess the judicial tempera ment. We liked Howard K. very much, and believe if he should be elected he would be a credit to the Supreme Court. But as the only argument he could offer against Justice Bean wns his ksc we couldn't fall for t lint . A Supreme Court Justice is only ps old as he THINKS !, and Justice Bonn's tbiiiKin. it (till a ; oun 44 justice, aud truth state, ever since he first took remains in office, whether here to do so. two men, as Pater Zimmerman significant.

Communications Says It's a Gold Brick With Herring To tha editor: In the Mall Tribune of November 1st In a communication under the headline "Who Are The Associated Farmers?" Jack Long of 310 West Main street wishes to know who the sponsors of the bill regulating pick eting and boycotting by labor groups and organizations are. Instead of answering Mr. Long's question by referring him to page 34 of the Voters Pamphlet, an edi torial note advises to read the bill, take no one's word for ita character and purpose, but form their own opinion. I have before me a San Francisco paper dated October 31st. with a front page column headlined: "Vig ilante Sheriff Summoned, Associated Farm en Target of Federal Civil Lib erties Body." The article, a column. Is too long to quote, here li an extract: "Twelve investigators for the La Follette com mittee have been probing activities of vigilantes and anti-labor groups in California since October 10. It was revealed In Washington, D. C. The investigators were supplied with scores of subpoenas from Washington and them are to be served first of all on the leaders of the Associated Farmers, It was Indicated. Should this bill become a law tn a state of approximately one million population, and cause severe antag onism with an eight million tabor organization and their families, which would directly and Indirectly affect about 30 million consumers. What would be the resultf I might call attention to the fact that neither candidate for governor of the state of Oregon are aupporlng this bill. The Associated Farmers, another gold brick garnished with a red herring A la California. V. WARE. Central Point. Not. Jd. Fd. note: A roster of those ipon soring and supporting this measure will show many dirt farmers, many Real Bargains at BIG PINES LUMBER CO. PHONE 1 members of the Orange, many busi ness men and white collar workers. According to the Associated Press the Kings Valley Orange near CorvalUa. endorsed ths bill on Monday and censured the state organization for it opposition. More Important than the organizations sponsoring the measure la the measure Itself. Again we advise the people of southern Ore gon to read the text of the bill In the Voters Pamphlet and decide for themselves whether they want it or don't. From Carole Lombard To the editor: , We have finished "Made For Earn Other" and I now go off the record to answer some mall of which yours li just about the first. , Seriously, many, manys thanks -for your editorial. I appreciate It tre mendously, and am happy to note that you at least give me the bene fit of the doubt. I wish you could have seen some of the mall received In response to the original story you printed. It doesn't seem possible that In such a small world there are so many thousands of people with so many thousands of different Ideas about the same thing! At any rate, we have a fine coun try, and fine roads and fine free dom, and X for one most assuredly do feel myself fortunate not only In being able to live here but In being able to make a living here and to do what I want to in the way I want to live that living. Thank you again, and may this coming holiday season bring ' you loads and loads of things to be thankful for. Aren't we lucky Amer icans? Cordially, CAROLE LOMBARD. Paramount Studios, Hollywood, October 20th, i Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS N the congressional campaign that JUBt one outstanding Issue. That Is the Issue: Getting ' men Into congress who will vote to KEEP THE NATION SOLVENT. THAT Is the big Issue of this cam paign. It will be the big Issue of every campaign for yeara to come. If this nation ISNT kept solvent that la to aay. If It Isn't brought back to the point where It spends esch year LESS than it raises by taxation, ao that it can reduce Its debt Instead of steadily Increasing it It will travel the road that has been traveled . by every hopelessly spendthrift nation since history be gan. It la a road that leads Inevitably to bankruptcy. w HEN an Individual goes on In definitely spending more than he takes In, he GOES BROKE. Every one knows that. Everyone has seen It happen. " Nations ran go on spending more than they take In LONGER than Individuals because their resources are greater. The resources of a na tion are the COMBINED resources of all lta people. But IK THE END. with nations as with people, spend ing more than Is taken In leads to bankruptcy. The lesson of history Is plain as to that. 1 N ATIONAL bankruptcy doesn't hit just the big shots. It hits EVERYBODY. If possible. It hits the little fellow even harder than the big follow, for as debts rise and taxes pile up the cost of living In creases unavoidably, and Increased cost of living comes out of the lit tle fellow's pocket. As to that, the lesson of history Is too plain to be Ignored. 1 I III II 4 L J I I. tercSta In Lumber 6TH AND FIR 0p rVll?
