' An election is to be held November 3, which is less than a, month away. It cannot be postponed because of 3 war or the weather. It is going to be held, in Oregon, - a governor and a United States senator are to be elected. along with an assortment of other state, district, county and city officials. There are also an average number of direct legislative proposals which will be on the Novem ber 3 ballot i ' Thus far the public's attitude toward all of this has bordered on total indifference. If this continues, election I day will come along with a vast majority of the people . uninformed about the men and the issues, and when the I balloting occurs, only a small minority will participate. 1 This is not a desirable condition, as Senator Cornett infers. It is true that people are busy this year. It is true their principal interest is on the war and how we are f" going to win it But it will not be harmful either to the war effort or to the public attitude toward the -war if . people, generally Inform themselves about the decisions ; to be made on November 3 and participate in those decisions. : it is not suggested that anyone stay off the job a ; eouple of days to "bone up" on politics. The Voters' pamphlet will be around soon, and conscientious voters ; can read it They can listen to what speeches are made at meetings and over the radio. Organizations can sched I ale discussions of men and issues at their regular meet- ings. These are things that ought to be done in the short period intervening between now and the general election. : Airmail Improvement Objective iON this page 58 40-years-ago item comment- j ing on the problem of getting mail into this region from the railroad. This problem was completely solved , some years later, when the railroads brought their main lines here. But in one particular, Klamath's mall service is still J unsatisfactory. That is in air mail. It will be finally solved when airline service is brought to the Klamath Falls airport. The whole southwestern Oregon and north- eastern California country will suffer in airmail service until this is done. " ; Much .has been accomplished in preparing the airport J for this'" service. It now has ample landing facilities, I including runways and lights. Installation of radio beams is now on schedule. Thus some of the most serious ob- stacles have been removed. ' . - War conditions affect this situation, of coarse, but they j may neip eventually in bringing this service here. Every i possible local aid should be given, including, as soon as possible, the surfacing of the short stretch of high- r-ay on the Summers lane extension to the airport. w n it iiaiaic.T. .. aurora. ro-T "I'm not bringing you this apple because I expect any favors it's just one of my little experiments in psychology!"

Bowen, secretary of the taxicab arivers' union local, commented: "We still .don't feel It's the place for women. I've seen wo men cabbies all over the coun try. It's the worst thing I ever heard of. I'm more and more convinced that the moral issue is ine important thing.

I A MILLION HOMES IN 194X That 194X is for the first year Of peace, after Berlin and Tokyo are occupied by us. the people. Your guess Is as good as any body's as to what numeral 3 or 4 or 5 the "X" stands for. The point for this column is that, whatever the first peace year, it will probably see a million family dwellings, new homes, built within the borders of the USA. There are two solid facts on this prospect. First, all the plan ning that is being done now for the peace, by both government and private business, has home builduig as a No. 1 item of the post- war years. Second, the savings that the average Ameri can family Is stocking up in war bonds will put millions of families in a position to make down payments on home owner ship when peace is won. Normal home buildina as we knew it before 1941 was the bread and butter of the lumber industry of Washington and Ore gon. And lumber, in turn, is the bread and butter of these two states. So, while we are vitally inter ested, with all the other neoDle of the United Nations, in the fu ture of such idealistic principles as the Four Freedoms, we of Oregon and Washington have a special practical concern with the prospects of post-war home Duiming. THE SMALL HOME OF 194X Charlie Hannan, a sawmill ed- german, started me studying up on this topic. He and his wife, Cora, are saving harder than at any time in the 10 years of their marriage. They are putting by a $50 war bond each month, and their three kids accumulate around $10 worth of war stamps every four weeks or so. That last amount is to build up an educa tional fund. The war bonds are pointed at peacetime ownership of a modest modern home. The time that Cora and Charlie once spent on evening and week-end driving they now use consider ably on looking into what kind Of home they may some day own. They already own a lot and house In a small mill town. The house Is over 20 years old, and Cora declares it has more incon veniences than conveniences. The bedrooms, for one thing, are miserably small. The closets are cubbyholes. Range, sink, cup boards and breakfast nook are all backwards In the kitchen. The lighting and plumbing regu larly go haywire. 'It would have seemed won' derful to grandma," Cora says. "but It doesn't to me, since we've found out all that we may ex pect to have in a home when the war is over. ' What may the Hannana ex pect, in a new home that will cost from $25 to $40 in monthly payments, after a down payment of 3300 or more is made? The best up-to-date answer is In the September Issue of the Ar chitectural Forum. That I where I found the 194X Idea. The whole issue Is on the theme of "The New House, 194X." Thirty three of the country's best ar chitects have contributed plans, The issue costs a dollar, but it's really priceless. FOR A BETTER AMERICA The basic new items 'of the 194X home are centered In new plastics, new metals, new equip ment, and most of all new de signs and construction methods for homes. In the war, the For um says, "the home building in dustry is acquiring a vast reser voir of experience In advanced methods of construction which will have an enormous effect on post-war construction." That means more home for the mon ey. Airplane and other- war plants fabricating in metals are all be ing planned for post-war produc tion that will focus on home building and home supply. Pre fabrication of war industry hous ing has made giant progress. Lumber, in the outlook, is still the No. 1 building material. Candy Man Pleads Not Guilty to Shooting of Three PORTLAND, Oct 7 OP) En- nis E. Gabriel, 45, candy store proprietor, pleaded not guilty In circuit court yesterday to charges of killing one person ana wounding two others. Gabriel was accused by Dis trict Attorney James R. Bain of firing a rifle at Mrs. Gabriel in a fit of Jealousy last August in his candy store. Bain said Ga briel than killed Rollo W. Ellis. 47, "who walked Into the store, and shot Policeman Ralph Gray. Mrs. Gabriel and Gray recovered. Temporary Insanity will b pleaded by Gabriel, his attorney said. In the Initial stages of Its for mation, both Nelson (the pro duction) and McNutt (the man-powerer) played some part with the other three, but they were left out at the end. The program represents what the president Intended to do in the first place, before asking con gress lor the farm price legis lation. The formula was adopt ed weeks ago, and, as announced at the White House, October 3,1 is substantially the same as fore cast in this column published August 26, even as to the names of the member of the board, ex cepting Director Byrnes, Mor- genthau and Jesse Jones. The Initial announcements merely constituted a legal as sumption of blanket authority to no just about anything with no specific Indications as to what the program' will do to either existing wages or prices. ine obviously puzzled agri culture department fended off Inquiries as to what the execu tive order will do to farm prices. by saying that further direc tions would have to be received from over-all economic con troller Byrnes, or the White House.

DOESN'T MEAN MUCH The $25,000 restriction also contained so many loopholes mat u looxea like a Swiss chese In; which the holes were larger than the substance. Certainly it will allow salaries up to $75,- uuu or more before taxes, and perhapa even larger salaries in a great many instances. Also, the order Implied that me income tax returns can be used to enforce this and other wage provisions. The question nere also is whether the ex treme resort of opening tax re turns to the war labor board is to be pursued or not. But do not get the Idea from these mlscroscoplc observations that the program Is considered to be unwarranted or unwel come. The choice of Supreme Court Justice Byrnes, with an acutely political mind, to an swer all the above and other questions, appears to be accent ed everywhere with satisfaction. Mr, Byrnes has never been at the forefront of the reform ele ment of the new deal in its many talked-up programs to re vice governmental system.
