GIRL WITH A PROBLEM, (Orgonian) "Another girl asks "Shall ; I marry a cement worker?" He has proposed and to, make the bargain more attractive, : ho has said he would make a shower for dad's shack. Dad never has been one for taking a bath and they're trying to frame him." (Marian Miller Col.) a a e David Lawrence, the com' mentator, reports the best speech of the campaign .was made by Prime Minister Church ill. It dealt with the changing . horses-in-midstream, the British also having one in the political waters. The speech was made without malice aforethought but nevertheless, helped the Fourth Term candidate when he needed it. The Russian premier .also made a good talk. It was "written In American style, de spite the difficulty of translat ing Russian to English." This . oratorical accident came too late the day before election to count much. The President's best speech was at Chicago, and Gov. Dewey's at Seattle. He was the only one of the four chrged by the public, with talk- v ing too much. A Portland mother has been fined $25 and sentenced to 24 hours in jail for allowing her 19-year-old daughter to traipse around nights in disregard of the curfew law. The young lady met policemen four times since last April, and the evi dence shows she was dazzled by all uniforms, save those worn by the law. e a a Granpawhood has been con ferred upon G.

For after all nothing is settled until it is settled RIGHT! ' But Not the Sales Tax! EXCEPT a state sales tax! Yes, after supporting a sales tax for more elections than well than SHOULD be necessary the Mail Tribune has come to the conclusion that this form of taxation as far as the state of Oregon is concerned better be forgotten. Twenty-four states in the union have sales taxes. They 'run all the way from New York City to Puget Sound and from San Diego to Bar Harbor, Maine. And as far as we have been able to determine, the sales tax has not only been highly successful financi ally, where it has been tried but generally popular. At least less than one-half -of -one-percent of the states that have adopted sales taxes have ever repealed them. ' RUT good, bad or indifferent, they are NOT for - Oregon. The people of tax as they would the black plague or a Jap- invasion. This sentiment is Darticularlv strong in the tate Grange and the ranks of And the tax is. of course, excessive strain on the daily budget of the so-called subsistence groups. But under unusual conditions whicn promise to follow this war and especially where states are strug gling in the red, there is no into the black as easily and But never aeain as far cerned. We are through. The next time we are asked to support a sales tax we to catch the next bus to Crater Lake and jump in it, it Tine Work Aside from the sales tax. the people of Jackson County as usual voted discrimination. As pointed out in this department before the elec tion the two great dangers were: 1 r One: failing to send Messers Morse, cordon ana Ellsworth as a team to Washington. Two: Allowing the Townsend bill to pass. WELL the Townsend Bill was badly beaten here as it was in the rest of the state; while the best trio Southern Oregon has ever been offered to represent them in the national congress, were given record-breaking support. " More than that. If the rest of the state, especially Multnomah had voted as Jackson County voted, Ore gon today would be in ateau 01 in uie umuuuuuc. NOT that it would have effected the result in the slightest With the balance of-power held by three of the country's Philadelphia and Chicago dent Roosevelt, with the Solid South delivered De fore the votes were counted, was simply IMPOSSIBLE.

As stated durinor the similar measure passed had not been passed when the state measure was en acted, is even more generous to the veteran, and better worked out, than the Oregon bill. So it is safe to assume a majority of Oregon vet erans will elect to be beneficiaries of the federal, rather than the Btate measure. While the enactment of this bill is in the nature of an unnecessary duplication, the demands upon the people from a tax standpoint will be slight and the ncxt Legislature can no doubt make the adjustments, j that application of the measure will have shown, to Again succeed, . dynasty and the big-city- uu u uii. they are all undesireaDie, this state detest the sales organized labor. a nuisance to au ana an tax that will bring tnem quicKiy as tne saies tax, as this department is con shall tell the interrogator Jacfeon!" with great intelligence and ' t-t vt y-':r the Republican column in- largest cities New York, the DEFEAT of Presi me recora oi iw as pro is the fine job the people November. 7th l Can Be Made . state educational measure, but the people of the state camriaiem. the G.I. bill a by the government which News Behind The News By Paul Mallon New York, Nov. 9 Stalin came Jhrougn with nu iirsi strong ' indorsement of a new league -o f -nations method of keeping the postwar peace in . his speech the day before lection. A day earlier the De Gaulle govern ment of France publicly .invit ed Mr. Roose velt to foUow the trail of Paolalauoa, Woodrow Wil son to Paris. Shortly before that, Mr. Churchill no doubt thought he was aiding the Roosevelt cause by expecting a much long er war eight more months may be to defeat the nails, two years for Japan. There Is no question but what Russia (Uvestla attack Dewey). France ana omara wanted Roosevelt and did what they could to aid his re-election at the last moment. a MOST interesting was Stalin's speech. For the first time he talked as a world statesman. with the assumed frankness of the western manner and clearly without the defensive, injured tone of the Isolated or. suspici ous nation. Primarily he wia what the world does not yet realize the great growth of Russia as a nation during this war, how her industries had been built up, her varying in tellectuals and substrsta classes and nations molded into a pa triotic whole for the first time in history. Indeed, she is the only nation which has grown in the war, while Europe nas Deen completely demoralized and even the capitalistic United States and Britain have saddled their economy with fabulous debt (Russia1 having no debt ex cept the hundred millions or so she carries lightly in some To talitarian bookkeeping arrange ment). a . a a HOW different, clear and slm tilv fnntunl hla wnrria are in comparison with the utterances dinned Into our ears by those in this country who lead the minds of our people back Into the past and make us believe Russia is a sensitive sort oi backwoods nation which needs help, and must not be offended by anything we say or do in our own interests. Our second front pinned down 70 nazi divisions, but his front pinned down at the same time 200, he factually says. We helped materially this last war year, but for three years the reds fought alone and thus save Europe from fascism, he correctly says (remember the domestic campaign speeches you have heard). His suggestions for the peace show equal realism and similar contrast to those of our own peo ple who has been telling us all we need is their formula for rhe new league, without reser vations, and peace will follow automatically forever. Stalin puts them to the shame of their shallow, idealism. Differences (reservations?) he says, of course we shall have them. We already have the ones he has made Dumbarton Oaks, 'B r e 1 1 o n Woods, Chicago aviation. He promises only that they shall be reasonably solved eventually. a a a uis wants for the peace, or those he menUoned, are belligerently exclusive. He wants permanent disarmament of Ger many (does not mention Japan except quite indirectly In this respect) or a wholly new league with "the right and means" and "everything at its disposal" to act swiftly to stop aggression. Perhaps he wants both, he says there are several ways to stop future aggression and mentions Help the , DAV Help the Disabled Veteran BUY A Forgetmenet Today A j Dewey Studies Bad News Herbert Brownell, Jr. (standing), chairman of the Republican national committee, checks early election returns with Gov. and Mrs. Thomas E. Dewey at the G. O. P. nominee's headquarters in New York. thees two. Anything within that formula would presumably please him. The thoughts I reach from the speech are these: Russia un der Stalin fully realizes her great new power, is preparing to exercise it realistically in the new world. Her interest in the international organizations is as sreat as or greater than ours because the new setup wiU de fend her newly acquired great power, and perpetuate the status quo of this war as the old league sought to perpetuate the wholly different status quo of the last one (Anglo-French world power then). For that reason she is evolving from her old isolation ism. Stalin is apparently no longer afraid of capitalism, else he would"not go that far. He offers no important compromises with it or with western culture, ex cept friendliness (there is no mention of God in his summa tion of the victory which he at tributes to soviet energy). The feeling I have, however, is that he is prepared to make strong reservations to protect himself, and in the end, I cannot help but suspect that any detaUs which gave capitalism the upper hand over his interests would be unsatisfactory to him, and of course any peace Which gives him the upper hand cannot be satisfactory to us. Peace, there fore, can only be enduring if noncompetitive, politically and economically. a DUT the most Important con- elusion to us is that our dis cussion oi me wnoie suDjeci is not on the admirable realistic plane which Russia presents, where reasonableness and unity among us might be achieved. Our debate is still steeped in obsolete bitter history of an old league political fight, which has ho accurate bearing on the pres-. ent or future world conditions except as it has deceived our people as to the realistic truth of existing circumstances.
