First Measure
FIRST measure on the November ballot is a constitutional
amendment that would remove the present provisions
prohibiting a secretary of state or state treasurer from
serving two successive terms. As it now reads, the con
stitution states that "no person shall be eligible to
either of said offices more than eight in any period of
12 years."
This is, in effect, an anti-third term tradition written
into the Oregon constitution as it effects the tenure of
state secretary and state treasurer. Whereas a third
term may not be desirable for a president of the United
States, or even a governor, there is little to be said for
the present limitation on the offices of secretary and
treasurer.
In the case of governor, for instance, it is a fact that
he has extensive appointive power and really heads the
regime m control of the state government in the term
of his office. He might conceivably assume too much
power, and perpetuate himself in office a fear that
the framers of the constitution no doubt had in mind
when they limited the terms of governor, secretary of
state ana treasurer.
But the offices of secretary of state and treasurer are
administrative, and of a nature where long experience
and skill are needed by the men who fill them. A private
corporation would be more likely to make changes in
its president or the chairman of its board than it would
in the offices of secretary and treasurer. Supporters of
tne proposed amendment argue with considerable justi
fication that the people of Oregon should be given the
same privilege of continuing tried servants in these two
offices.
He Can Tell Us
AN opportunity to get the straight facto from a man
who knows what happened in Norway last April,
when the Nazis took that country over, will be afforded
Klamath Falls people Wednesday night At that time
Carl Jf. Hambro, president of the Norwegian parliament
van a president or the council of the League of Nations,
will speak at the high school auditorium.
Mr. Hambro was there. When the German irtvaaion
occurred, he assumed the leadership in the parliament'
evacuation or usio, first to Hamar, then to Elverum, and
he joined the king and government at Tromsoe and went
with them to England. He came to the United States
in a freighter.
He is thus clothed with the full authority of office
and of experience to tell the straight story of the Nor
wegian debacle. He can give the facts on Quisling and
the "Trojan horses" w'e heard so much about at the time
of Norway's fall. He should give some interesting first
hand information on Nazi invasion methods.
The lecture promises to be one of the most interesting
of the year in Klamath Falls. It should be well attended.
Break for Community
THE local selective service boards are to be congrat
ulated on their employment of Major Theodore Case
to nanaie tneir joint otrices now opened in the basement
of the courthouse.
Major Case, long active in national guard work here,
has been deferred from active service due to the rigid
physical requirements of the United States army, and will
serve the draft boards pending re-classification. He has
had years of service and is thoroughly qualified for the
work now before him. His service deferment, while no
doubt a personal disappointment, looks like a real "break"
for the draft boards and for the entire community.
Here's a welcome home to Major Case and an ex
pression of our confidence that his services to his country
here, pending other developments that may yet take
him elsewhere, will be of the highest quality.

the whole defense setup is await
ing the outcome of the election
The administration has Quietly
decided to do it if Mr. Roosevelt
wins.
Greatly enlarged powers will
be granted the defense commis
sion by the president. A shake
down in personnel is being
planned. An overall coordinator
will probably be named, instead
of a chairman (Mi. Roosevelt
does not like the chairman idea
since Willkie mertioncd it first.)
The baton job is slated to go to
Don Nelson, now functioning in
that capacity without power,
rather than to Leon Henderson
or William S. Knudsen. as has
been frequently suggested. At
least one industrialist has a foot
out the door. John D. Biggers,
president of Libby, Owens, Ford
Glass company, has been suf
fering unpleasantly from pres
sure of the new dealers.
But more important than these
contemplated readjustments is
the related plan to have the
president issue tui executive or
der empowering the commission
to lay a heavy hand on manu
facturers. Authority to enforce
priorities of government con
tracts would be granted. Skilled
labor could be requisitioned from
one industry to another. -
Dissatisfaction with the way
defense is going is far greater
on the inside than the public
realizes, worse than Mr. Willkie
has charged. A swarm of bugs
has developed it: the initial op
eration. The sdm.nistration is
trying to ait on them until the
campaign is over.

WILLKIE GAINS
The current buak of the polls
from the Roosevelt trend was
first forecast exclusively in this
column, dated October 4. Repub
licans now have been further
heartened by heavy registrations
throughout the country. They
attribute this to Willkie clubs
getting out the white collar vote
that formerly confined its elec
toral activities to vocal comment.
Some business clubs also have
helped by levying a fine of $3
upon every memoer who fails to
register. '
When Mr. Roosevelt accumu
lated the unprecedented total of
27,000,000 votes in 1936, his poll
actually represented the approv
al of only about one-fifth of the
population of the United States
(including children.) No figures
on adult voting population are
available but it is eleai that Mr.
Roosevelt's "popular mandate"
was rendered by far less than a
majority of eligible citizens.

recently back from such an air

production to a necessary war
time rate, and h-.s recommended
storing 100 days supply for emer

where the war and navy depart
ments would get the money. The
great lender, Jesse Jones, final
ly agreed to make funds avail
able. But nothing has been
done despite the alarm expressed
about the situation by everyene
from the top of tne White House
on down. .
SECRET SLIPS
The generally l.gnt-llpped Mr.
Jones incidentally relaxed too
much on octane gasoline. Na
tional defense commission was
careful not to let anyone know
how much 100 days supply at
wartime rate would be. Not
knowing this was a military
secret, Jones in a press confer
ence freely confessed the amount
of money he would make avail
able for so many million gal
lons, giving the exact figure.
All the zapps had to do was
to take that figure and divide
by 100 to calculate the extent of
