American motorists, accustomed to speeds which have increased tremendously in recent years, no doubt find it difficult to tread lightly on the throttle in accordance with the recent wartime ruling. But they are morally bound to keep their speeds to S5 miles an hour, or under, for very good reasons which are obvious to all. The exact ruling, as issued by Di rector Joseph Eastman of the ODT, is that no person shall drive at a rate of speed which is (1) in excess of ' the applicable speed limit duly prescribed by competent public authority, or (2) in excess of 35 miles an hour, whichever speed is the lesser. . The effect of the 35-miles-an-hour ruling is felt par ticularly by people who are accustomed to taking long trips. They will simply have to figure more time for those journeys. , But even so, our guess is that most of the violation will not be committed by these long trippers, but by people who really have no particular need for traveling at high speeds. The Voter Pamphlet Incident BEFORE each Oregon election, the secretary of state Is required by law to publish a voters pamphlet, the purpose of which is to acquaint the voters with candidates, platforms and issues in a forthcoming election Unusual incident in connection with the pamphlet this year was an attempt by the state democratic execu tive ' committee to force the publication of President Roosevelt's picture in the pamphlet. President Roosevelt is not a-candidate for office in the November election. TJDon advice of the attorney general, Secretary of State Earl Snell refused to accent the -president's picture, as he would that of any other bow heen unheld bv the court action. It fully sustained the position taken by, the sec- retery of state. " Because Mr. Snell is a candidate for governor, the attempt of the democratic committee smacks of a scheme to embarrass mm.- isut jar. viously correct, and it has been so held by legal authority, that the effect on public opinion is probably the opposite of that which was apparently, intended. Nothing was gained for the state democratic ticket, and probably a good deal was lost, by permitting some one with a "bright idea" to attempt its execution. A friend of ours, who has been working on a north west defense construction job, tells us this one: On the job on which he worked, the method of paying the men was to send out pay-cars which sounded horns and the men immediately gathered around to get their checks. This was done on working informant spent one hour and 15 minutes standing m line to get his check, and earned approximately $1.75 while he was doing it. This obvious waste of time and money was not popular among tne men, themselves, which is the only encouraging part of the story. Harvest Dance in Merrill Will Celebrate Spud Crop, Replace Annual Festival MERRILL Gonna be a lotta fun at the Harvest dance on Oc tober 10 that will celebrate the basin's potato harvest that should be in full swing by that time. Sponsors of the event which succeeds for the duration the Klamath Basin Potato Fes tival are out to bring in a full house crowd. Young women of the Merrill community will sell tickets and to the lucky lady selling the larg est number goes a $25 bond. Holders of second, third, fourth and fifth places will receive sav ings stamps. The ticket selling campaign will get under way next week and not only the town but the entire south end is to be canvassed. Bonds and stamps will be sold also from a booth at the community hall where Baldy Evans' band will furnish music from 9:30 on. Supper will be served In the dining room in the basement. Henry Homes has some snap py decorations up his sleeve that won't let the folks forget that in spite of the war we still grow great spuds in this country. E. E. Kilpatrick is responsible for roll ing up the ticket sales and Uel Dillard will keep things moving smoothly In the hall during the dance. In the last eight years some attractive girl in the basin has ruled the harvest festival as queen, attended by a bevy of pretty atttmdants. The -two-day fete with its big parade, agricul tural and dairy display and nu merous dances has taken toll of effort and cash to assure success. This year in deference to the na tion's need the dance replaces the festival and all funds accru- i Uanaglaf Bdttor J.t5 - S.23 non-candidate, and he has which denied a mandamus emeu s posiwon is so en time.

He always uses this old line just before election. At least he used it two years ago., just as he used defense plant inspec tion trips then. It is a familiar Rooseveltian technique amusing, easily ex plained, and probably generally understood by now. The president always says he favors "straight news," mean ing his news, the news he gives out to the press associations, and he would like to have noth ing else in the newspapers. You will never see much criticism of the war effort in this kind of news, except may be a statement from a republi can now and then, at the tail end of administration announce ments. ' But the kind of news that gets things done in Washington, that spurs administrators to new efforts and the inefficient ones to correction of their errors, or firing, happens to be the kind that Mr. Roosevelt says he does not like. It is Kood for his administration and for the prosecution of the war, but he does not like it No one expected him to like it Nobody likes it. But both he and everyone else knows it must be done. He does not pro pose to abolish It, as far as I have heard. SAME PURPOSE? He merelv mentioned Benin before election, his old idea and I assume for the same old purpose. If he can create the impression that all criticism of his administration is erroneous, the people will believe only the straight news what his hand out bureaus grind out He never has effected this re sult for a very good reason. tie ana otner Washington of ficials assume criticism comes from newspapers and the radio. It does not. They are only the vehicles of criticism that exist in the minds and hearts of the people and government officials. The origin of criticism lies in those two sources alone. The newspapers and radio merely express it, because they know if it becomes public, a demand is thereby created for correction of the situation to which their accusing finger is pointed. If all the press and radio were abolished this moment criticism would not cease. The only way Mr. Roosevelt can stop criticism is to make the war effort 100 per cent effi cient instead of 94 or 95 per cent as he says. If we would start winning the war, much or all of it would die away. I think the truth is the presi dent knows he has the press over a barrel, and he likes to paddle it every now and then. With one hand he feeds out official news sparingly and under censorship now while with the other, he paddles the press for carrying anything else. I will bet it gives him end less hours of amusement ATI the censored and chastised press can do is protest. That it did, in an official presentation to the White House about the secrecy of the trip. Its protest will be filed away by the White House, thereby setting a precedent for the press. It can file away the president's criticism, continue to support him and his war ef- to J -7 wot lamLiown A Protective Policy By EARL WHITLOCK It is always the policy of this firm to show such a wide selection of Funeral merchan- r- rxdise in the low St prlce and the moderate price I " , t , brackets, that 2: -A ; any one may be a service of su preme b e a u ty and fitting lux ury within the needed price range.

Ho hum! This is where I came in about twelve years ago, Plenty of reasons can be found for Mr. Roosevelt's de fense inspection tour. Two days before it was con cluded, War Producer Nelson gave out some figures on Au gust production, which he said were "not worth bragging about." He showed the goals fixed by the president were not being met Around Nelson's office, everyone knows, for instance. we will not meet the 60,000 plane figure this year, although we may come close. In fact some WPB men now talk of Mr. Roosevelt's goal as a "dream program." Limitations in labor and raw materials are hindering its ful fillment Redistribution of both will help. Just now the army and navy are getting the first four A priorities tthe first four cate gories of demand on materials) for a six months period which will end next February. They cannot get much more but, they can shift raw mater ials into implements they must have first and decide what they can wait for until later. This Is the new phase into which the production effort is heading. www There may have been other reasons for the trip. Friends of the president explain that he goes stale on the job whenever he must stick to the White House for long, and that it peps him up to get out on trips around the country. a POLITICAL ADVANTAGES Also, he gained something of a personal advantage in getting out ol town during the farm bloc over inflation, preventing bloc members from getting near him with various alternative proposals. Mr. Roosevelt denies the trip was political in any phase, and points out he saw only the elected officials, not the candi dates. I think, however, the SIDE GLANCES . wt.wrrN.A.CT.le.T.aitA.a.T.oef. "She hasn't been any good since (he boy joined the Army the only .thing she'll point is that old tree when tbey ' . used to stop and rest." trip had certain definite poli tical advantages. Some of you may recall that in this column published Sep tember 19, it was reported the administration pollticos were alarmed at the lightness of the primary vote, particularly at the failure of war workers to go to the polls, and that Mr. Nelson had issued an invitation to such workers to tako time from their jobs to cast ballots. This is the class of workers with which the president came into direct contact on his trip. It is the class which the ad CoNGRESS shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the free dom of speech or of the press; or the right of the oeoole oeaceablv to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. THIS IS NATIONAL NEWSPAPER WEEK ao-tf ministration expects to contri bute votes In large quantities, in view of the salaries being paid. Mr. Roosevelt's personal ap pearance before them a month before election may help that administration political purpose. STATIONS CLOSE DORRIS All service stations In Dorrls will be closed Sundays, beginning October 4. Announce ment was made after station op erators conferred on the short age of gasoline and labor. It's from that Amendment, made effective December 15, 1791, that we derive one of our moat Important on of our most precious freedoms' The Freedom of the Press. Some consider it the guardian of all oar freedoms. From it comes truth end enlightenment for all our peoples. No wonder a "free press" is the first institution to fall before dictators, big and little. The news and editorial pages of this publication, its articles and comics, and these advertising columns have been used sqd will continue to be nsed in expressions of that freedom. It will not be abnsed.Th.ese columns will never disclose information of value to our enemies. But by the might and right of men who bear our arms, freedom of speech, freedom of the press will never die in these United States of America. P Creator utilisation of the em ergency aid facilities available to dependents of army penonnol through the army emergency re lief was urged today by head quarters, Camp White, Oregon. In some Instances recently, de pendents of service men have suffered needless hardships and distress from causes Incident to military activities. Wives have been stranded without fundi, mothers and children have failed to receive Insurance or pension payments, other dependents have been unable to obtain needed food or medicine, und the In dividuals involved did not avail themselves of the assistance that army emergoncy relief provides. Supplementing the work of the Red Cross In special cases, and cooporntlng fully with that organization, army emergency relief was formed to deal with Just such difficulties. Any postofflce. Army post camp or stntlon and Red Cross chapter or field office I auth orised to help dependents obtain Immediate assistance through Army relief. Dorris Women's Club Assists Red Cross Chapter DORRIS The Dorrls Worn en's club Is assisting a project of the Butte Valley chapter of the American Red Cross by sponsor ing a ticket sale for a special event to be held at the Dorrls theatre Saturday, October 10.
