March 12, 1953 2—THE .MILL CITY ENTERPRISE The MILL CITY ENTERPRISE OREGON REPUBLICANISM ON TRIAL IN SALEM Oregon’s legislature may not pass into law some of the experimental and even dangerous bills which have been submitted. But it already has estab lished some sort of an unenviable rec ord in the number and severity of bills introduced to restrict the rights of voters and workers. There are bills to make voting reg istration more difficult; bills to re strict the initiative and referendum, the peoples’ last line of defense against legislatve dictatorship; bills to compel employers and employes to operate under open shop conditions MILL CITY.

FRANK Because Mr. Truman kept a cautious eye on the go EDWARDS ings-on at the Kremlin, people with poor judgment blatted that the United States’ foreign policy was being dictated Says: by the late “Uncle Joe”. The great press of the nation Where Is It? picked up this hew-and-cry and spread it thicker than a boy spreads jam on a slice of bread. This was our free press. It was turned against Mr. Truman’s administra tion. Now that Stalin is dead we read in the same free press a multitude of words of approval of the present • administration’s extremely cautious attitude regarding 1 the Kremlin. What puzzles us is, where did the strong, forceful leadership in world affairs go to that was so earnestly promised during the campaign?

The proposed laws to hinder reg istration and voting come at a period in state and national history when it was never more important for state leadership to encourage, not to dis courage, good citizenship. The sug gested laws against labor are being introduced at a time when labor-man agement relationships have never been more amicable and free of strife. Why, then, the laws to tighten the screws on voters and workers? The hearings and the debates on these measures probably will develop some answers to this question. One other question on these meas ures is much simpler to answer. The Republican party in Oregon complete ly dominates the state legislature and controls the state administration. And the GOP cannot evade the blame ! and the responsibility should some of these bills become law. It is not Oregon labor nor Oregon voters who are on trial now in Salem. jt is the Republican leadership of the ÿtate. Is Ia it it the the intention intention of of the the Ore- Ore- gon QOP to turn back the clock on labor with a vicious worker compul sion law, with a bill to scuttle the initiative and referendum and a law to keep the voters from getting too close to the ballot boxes? Events in Salem will soon supply the answers.—From Oregon Teamster. Time for a Change: The Securities and Exchange Commission is set up to police the stock exchanges for pro- tection of the public.
