Why Throw Away Your Vote?
The Republicans have not controlled the govern
ment for close to 18 years.
Naturally they would like to get into power again.
But if the Republican slogan for Oregon's May 19th
primary "nominate a regular Republican" prevails
throughout the country as a whole, they might as
well give up. Under such a slogan the G.O.P. won't
control the country for another 18 years.
e
COR the American people are fed up on "REGU
r LAR Republicans." '"Regular Republicans," to
them, mean the old fashioned Republicans, the low-
waee and hierh-tariff ctoud that haven't learned any
thing since the good old days of William McKinley,
Mark Hanna; and the full dinner pail.
Ihe people are not looking for regular
Republicans. Republicans that put regularity above
everything.
They are looking for PROGRESSIVE Republi
cans Republicans who don't want radicalism on
one hand or reaction on the other, but do want as
leaders, men who are enlightened, up-to-date, com
petent and intelligent, who realize they are living
in a ''New World," and if democracy is to survive it
must adjust itself to entirely new social and economic
demands and concepts.
CO the real issue in this coming Republican primary
is between this old and new school of Republi
canism the regulars and the progressives, the "Old
Guard and the New. It is also between demonstrated
competence, national recognition as represented by
Wayne Morse and no competence none demon
strated at leasts at all, by his opponent.
XE can't believe the Republicans of this district
TT or of the state will be so short-sighted, so
blind to their own self interest, as to fall for the
antiquated plea of party regularity. We can't believe
they will choose as their nominee an unknown
candidate representing a form of Republicanism as
dead as Kameses II, and if upheld as certain to be
defeated by the Democratic nominee in November
as the sun is to rise tomorrow.
Why throw votes away? Why vote party chances
away;
THE Mail-Tribune supports Senator Wayne Morse
on the ground of political principle, sincere
conviction and not political expediency. But at this
time we are frankly stressing the latter rather than
the former.
We are not so much trying to tell the Republicans
HOW to vote in the Senatorial Primary, as telling
them WHAT their votes will mean.
A vote to replace Wayne Morse on the Republican
ticket with Hoover of Eucene on Mav 19th. if adonted
as a national principle will probably mean THIS :
keeping the Republicans protesting impotentiv on
the sidelines for ANOTHER 18 or 20 years! R.W.R.

A Political Parallel
To the Editor: It has been an
nounced that next week there
will be launched the Russell
Davenport organization of left
wing republicans which parallels
the new deal Americans for
Democratic Action. At their first
meeting Wayne Morse declared
himself a maverick, stated that
he had never Joined the repub
lican party and said "I have no
argument with Davenport's plat
form, it's a good one. In fact I
am running for reelection on
the principles he outlines."
The policies arc Ihe "me-too"
following of the ADA and no
doubt will have the hearty sup
port of the Truman administra
tion. Morse has now publicly and
finally repudiated the repuhli
. can party and in 1947 he repudi
ated every citizen in Oregon
when, in an egotistical outburst
he said of the Taft-Hartley bill:
"I will oppose It though every
citizen in Oregon favors it."
Docs Oregon want a senator who
domes the right of decision to
his constituents.
Who wants Morse? The demo
crats say "He belongs in our
. party." Norman Thomas says:
"He is my favorite senator. The
American Labor party (with
communist Infiltration) says:
"We can't do without Morse."
Labor leaders say "We need
Morse to help defeat the repub
lican! on repeal of Taft-Hartley.
Oregon republicans have no
representation in the senate
Do you think you have ever
been deceived in the matter of
having horse meat served to you?
I mean, have you eaten and paid
for a meal of horse meat served
under aonther name? If you are
hamburger sandwich enthusi
ast you probably have. Anyway,
I was much Interested In noting
a statement of a chemical an
alyst who claimed it is chemical
ly impossible to distinguish horse
meat once it is chopped up and
cooked. Those seeking evidence
against a man serving horse meat
as some thing else must catch
him in the act of putting the
raw meat on the fire. Or find a
quantity of raw horse meat
stored about the premises.

Another great man who would
never have seen the light of day
if his parents had practiced birth
control was that hotel manage-
ment genius. Cesar Ritz. He was
the 13th child of his Swiss par
ents. Cesar has passed on, but his
; widow, Mine. Marie Ritz. now in
I her 82nd year, still takes an ac
tive part in the management of
the Ritz hotel in Paris.
Rara Racord
A New York phonograph rec
ord collector believes himself to
be in possession of a rare item.
It is a recording of a duet by Bert
Williams and CJeorge Walker of
a song titled "Pretty Dcsdemo
na" from a show called "Abys
sinia" In which the team ap
peared In 1B06. The collector be
lieves that while Bert Williams
made many records this is the
only recording ever made by his
partner, George Walker, Too bad
George didn't make a record of
his smash hit song titled "Bon
Bon Buddy the Chocolate Drop."
Breaking tha Bank
Who introduced the song "The
Man Who Broke the Bank at
Monte Carlo"? Was it really in
spired by a man who did break
since Morse cancels the vote of
Cordon more than 70 per cent.
He endorsed in 1945 the ILWU
and declared "Harry Bridges is
a better citizen than those who
seek to deport him." He voted
for the confirmation of Henry
Wallace. Aubrey Williams. Le
land Olds and Lilienthal. Of
TVA he said "It's a great proj-!
ect." Does not support CVA (but !
straddles the fence when he j
says) "in its present form." It is :

the bank? These are the queries
a Baltimorean tosses at me. The
song was introduced by the come
dian known as "Old Hoss" Hoey
in Hoyt's farce, "A Parlor
Match," in 1891. Incidentally,
this was the show in which Anna
Held made her American debut.
The song was inspired by Charles
Wells, an Englishman, who
played roulette at the Monte
Carlo casino 13 hours a riav fnr
three days. Wells won the e'quiv-1

Toppad
Brooklyn is topped again, but
not by California. This time it is
Boston. A few columns back I
mentioned a young woman in
Brooklyn who is a boiler design
er and the only female in an or
ganization of 100 men. Comment
ing on this a Bostonian writes:
"Alica Butlar. Boston. Mass.,
la tha only femala turntabla
operator on a railroad In lha
United States. Sh works for
the Boston and Maine R. R.
She is tha only woman among
620 men workers. She is also
financial secretary of her un
ion. I think she should write a
book titled 'Six Hundred and
Twenty Men and a Girl'."
Biq Girl
Have Just been looking at a
photograph of Lillian Russell in
her heydey. She really was a big
girl. At that time the majority
of the male sex appeared patlial
to statuesque beauties. I believe
Miss Russel weighed around 165
pounds. Don't know about her
height. She never worried about
diet. She was an enthusiast for
8 and 10-course dinners. Follow
ing which she enjoyed smoking a
tine Havana cigar.
Queries from clients: Q. A cyn
ical acquaintance says no horse
owned by a large and powerful
stable has ever been disqualified
in an important stake race In
this country. How about this? A.
Your cynical friend is wrong.
There have been several such dis
qualifications. A few years ago a
horse named Stepfather, owned
hy the most powerful stable on
the Pacific coast, that of L. B.
Mayer, was disqualified in a
$50,000 stake race at Santa An
ita. Q Am I right in saying that
only in the United States can be
found "self-service" markets? A.
You are in error. There is a
chain of "self-service" markets
in Switzerland known as the Mi
grns Markets.

Washington, May 11 North
west industry is the sacrificial
lamb of the ECA, some of the
regi o n's busi
ness men main
tain. Such a
view was ex-
pressed . last
week by H. V.
Simps o n, ex
ecutive v 1 c e
presi dent of
the West Coast
Lumber m e n's
association.
But even
more impor
tant, Simpson indicated that as
far as the lumbermen are con
cerned, they are not complain
ing about sharing the fall guy
role if the ECA program is nec
essary to hold Russia in check.
these thoughts were express
ed by the lumberman spokes
man at an informal get-to-gether
of the northwestern congress
men and a number of the area's
lumbermen who were here in
the capital.
Oregonian lawmakers present
included: Sen. Cordon, Ivar Pet
ersen, Sen. Morse s assistant;
Rep. A n g e 1 1. Rep. Stockman.
Rep. Norblad and Rep. Ells
worth. There were also con
gressional members from Idaho,
Washington and northern Cali
fornia present at the meeting.
In his contention that ECA
hurts the Northwest more than
the rest of the United States,
Simpson made a fairly good
case. He pointed out that the
ECA funds are being used large
ly to purchase industrial prod
ucts from U. S. markets.
Consequently, since the North
west doesn t manufacture a great
deal of industrial products, the
region is not getting the benefits
of the EL A produced business.
But this is not the complete
story. Farm equipment, for ex
ample, is one of the chief items
being purchased with ECA
money and being sent to Europe.
With the additional equipment.
the type of European production
is very similar to that of the
Northwest.
The dollar shortage of the
world is also In the picture. The
European countries need to ex
port more than they import to
build up their dollar shortage.
They quite logically, therefore,
turn around and try to sell their
agricultural products, which the
ECA equipment has helped them
to produce, right back here in
the United States. The result is
that the Pacific northwest gets
it comine and going.
The farm equipment situation
is Just an example. The Pacific
northwest, by the nature of the
business of the area, does, in
many other instances, come out
on the short end of the ECA
shuffle.
Best Defense Weapon
Even though a tsrong case can
be made about how the ECA
discrimination against the North
west, there doesn't seem to be
anything that can be done about
it without jeopardizing the coun
try s welfare.
It has become quite widely
accepted here in the capital that
ECA, ERP, Marshall Plan, or
call it what you may, is a nec
essary detergent to a war with
Russia. A good share of both
democrats and republicans seem
to believe that it was the Mar
shall Plan which checked the
tide of communism on the con
tinent. This brings the problem right
back to the viewpoint expressed
by Simpson. The Pacific north
west doesn't mind being the
"goal" of ECA if it is for the
good of the country.
Long Range View
In addition to the war pre-!
vention" value of ECA, it does
have a more optimistic and af
firmative benefit when viewed :
in prespective.
If ECA can succeed in build-1
ing up the other countries of
the world and in achieving a
dollar balance, the situation now
confronting us will be reversed.
Instead of being forced to com
pete in markets created by our
own tax money, new and greater
world markets will be created.
Lumbermen's Gripe
The real purpose behind the
above mentioned lumbermen-! I
lawmakers meeting was to give ;
the lumbermen a chance to ac- 1 1

some of the problems confront
ing the industry.
Actually, the lumpermen are
now enjoying a period of pros
perity bv virtue of ample do-1
mestic markets. This is attribut
ed to the severe winter in the
lumber regions which held up
operations while the winter was
mud in the Southwest wnere
building is booming.
The lumbermen are, however,
expecting tough sledding as soon
as the supply catches up with
the domestic demand. Ana one
nf the chief causes of concern
is competition from British Col
umbia lumbering.
At present the Canadian lum
ber is flooding into the United
States but the demand exceeds
the supply. When the demand
drops off and competition stif
fens the Canadians win nave tne
edge over the U. S. lumber in
dustry.
The following facts cogently
point up the truth of this assertion:
(1) The average wage in the I
Pacific Northwest lumber
industry is $1.45 per hour
as contrasted with the Can
adian scale of $1.08 per
hour.
(2) Due to the monetary ex
change the Canadians en
joy an overall 10 per cent
advantage over the United
States.
(3) The Canadians can ship
aboard foreign ships and
avoid the transportation
tax which U. S. shippers
must pay the U. S. Merch
ant Marine. (A differential
on longshoremen costs fig
ures in here as well.)
Just these three factors alone
are ample evidence of the need
to stave off the Canadian influx
or to find new markets for Pa
cific Northwest lumber.
