PAGE FOURTEEN Oregon Only State Which Allows Slogans On Ballot nv PAUL W. HARVEY JR. SALEM Wl Oregon Is the only tats that lets candidates put tnei; sloeans on the election ballot. From time to time, there are pro posals that the slogans be taken off. Those who have opposed the slo can laea said that the slogans don't mean much, If anything. But those who want the slogans argue that it gives candidates a chance to tell the voters what they stand lor. Dave O'Hara, head of the Stale Elections Division, likes the io. crans. "It Is especially valuable in choosing delegates to national ' party conventions, becs'tse these candidates can say in their slogans whom they would support lor president," he says. CANDIDATES While the slogans do give can dldates a chance to tell where they -. stand on issues, not many of them take advantage of it. Most of the xlniratu are couched in such broad, general terms that they don't mean much to the voter. In the May 21 primary election, there are only two contests for statewide offices, both In the Re. publican primary. They are lor governor and labor commissioner, Gov. Paul I,. Patterson's reeleC' Won slogan is: "Trusted leader- ship; keep Oregon's working gov ernor working lor you. ' : His opponent. Secretary of 8tate Earl T. Newbry, has wis slogan "Already proven to be the popular Experiments Show : Use of Chemicals 1 Work conducted at Oregon State College Indicates that aldrln. diel. drln, and heptachlor are all ef- lectlve In the control of sou in sects that work on potato tubers, Their experiments show that two pounds of any of these insecticides per acre mixed into the top six inches of soil will control insects for one year. The question of off-flavoring of .potatoes by the use of these materi. a Is was tried out and all three passed the test. The OSC Food R aearch Department could find no flavor changes when these insec ticides were applied at the two pound rate. These materials should be properly labeled and stored out of reach of children. Candidate Backed By Labor Council PORTLAND Ml The Oregon State Industrial Union Council (CIO) Tuesday night Indorsed Mrs. Edith Green, Democratic candi date for nomination to Congress from the Third District. The council took no action on Republican candidates seeking the office Dor on candidates for govr ernor. ueorge urown. era state secre tary, said the council did not agree with Rep. Homer Angell's stand on Pacific Northwest power Issues. Lawson McCall, Brown said, has Hot spoken out strongly enough for power development. Both Angell and McCall are Republicans. candidate of the people of Oregon." In the labor commissioner con test, both candidates pledge fair ness and impartiality. They are Sen, 6, Eugene Allen, Portland! and H, E. Barker, Salem. Nobody ever has discovered the voters pay any attention to slogans. SURVEY A survey of slogans being used by legislative candidates snows that most of the candidates don': deal with issues at all. The most common slogan nledges honesty in government Fifty-one of the candidates used this. The next most popular pledges the candidates to work for all the people, and 47 used this one. Fourteen candidates say they are for economy, and 13 favor more Jobs for everybody. But when it comes to mention. lng the hot Issues that lace the Legislature, you don't see them mentioned much. Public power probably will be a big issue next session. Four can dldates have slogans for cheap power, three oppose power com pany surcharges, and one wants a lederal dam in Hell's Canyon, Milk control is another explosive Issue, but it is mentioned by only three candidates. AU three oppose It. As to the sales tax, which prob ably will be considered again, seven candidates oppose it. A few short years ago, many candidates found that slogans for bigger old age pensions could woo the voters. Only two candidates mention it In this year's slogans, showing times have changed, CONDITIONS CHANGE I asked a veteran legislator whv he didn't have a slogan that would convey his attitude on . popular Issues. "It's very hard," he explained, to say now where I'll stand dur ing the next Legislature, because conditions change so rapidly. 'For instance, the League of Women Voters asked me where stand on educational televslon and a federal dam in Hell's Can yon. I'm for educational television. but not if the state is going to be 30 million dollars in the hole next session. I told them that, and they, mine i m neoging. As to Hell s Canyon. I can't make up my mind yet. If the en gineers can't decide on the facts, how can they expect the ordinary guy to make up his mind? And besides, what business is that of a legislator's? It's a federal ques tion. I told them all this, and again, they accuse me of being a fence sitter. "They wanted to know if I want new taxes. How can I decide be fore we know how much revenue the state will need for the next two years? Some legislative candidates have quick answers to every Ques tion, out iney try to find answers tnat win be nomilar. "But in these times,' a candidate can't say honestly how he'll vote in a legislature that is nine months away." HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON aasaaisEsaBsssss-SBsai THTTRSDAY.

Luncheon Held By PNG Club The PNO Club of Prosperity Rebekah Lodge No. 104 met Tues day for a one o'clock luncheon with Kate Hogue as hostess. The business session was taken up with plans for the many activ ities scheduled for April and May. The Theta Rho girls club are having a baked food sale at the Y Market, Sixth and Hope, Satur day, May 10. All Rebekan's are asked to contribute. Kate Hogue will see that all foods left at her house by 10 a.m. will be delivered to the market. The funds are to be used to procure a bus to take the girls to Central Point to attend the district convention held there on May 1. The club is honored by Deing asued to exemplify the inltl atory degree at that time. Their local convention will be held here in the IOOF Hall,' April 17, at which time the Prosperity Rebekah members will provide the evening banquet as a courtesy to visiting delegates. The committee on the sale of the handmade quilt are Bernice Mc cracken, chairman, assisted by Lina Mocthenbacher, Martha Ba ker, Lucille WIrtz, Kate Hogue and Ivy Drew. The proceeds will be used for the Fast Noble Orand's luncheon given in the IOOP ban quet room for delegates to the dis trict convention, May 22. The May meeting of the club will be dispensed with. The next meet ing will be June 4, at the home of Corinne Larson, 613 Washington, "One of the biggest problems In Lapland is for a young man to find a wife," said Erik Thulln, a Swede who has lived with the Lapps in their tent homes to study their ways. "Pew of the Lapt girls are willing to marry them. They want to escape the hardships of life here." When they can, the girls In Swedish Lapland marrv Swedes, which insures them a higher living standard, Swedish girls, in return, are unwilling to marry Lapp boys and share their rough, nomadic life. . Since a Lapp boy in Swedish marrying at all unless he can find Lapland has almost no hope of marrying at all unless he can find a Lapp bride, the bachelors are already making courting forays among the less numerous Lapps over the border in Finland. That presumably adds to the shortage of brides there too.

Mining Men Hopeful Over Planned Metal Price Props By SAM DAWSON TUCSON, Ariz. W) Arizona min ing men are shaking off some of that depressed feeling today. Pro duction is down from its peak, but government plans to prop met al prices have somewhat eased their fears that bigger drops were on the way. i And some new copper mines west and north of here will be coming into production with Uncle Sam pledged to take metal at fixed prices that assure profitable and steady production, even if present market prices should drop as min ing men here privately admit is still likely. , . Since Arizona produces more than one third of the copper mined In the nation, a sharp cutback in output or drop in price would quick ly be felt by its economy. So far this year, Arizona's copper output Is running nearly 2,000 tons a month below last year's rate. Government buying for the de fense stockpile would help. But copper men here say that a return to former production levels will have to await a turnabout in in dustrial production or a stepup in defense spending, perhaps through some new war scare. ' Price advances in lead and zlne on the strength of expected gov ernment buying for the military stockpile have allayed fears the state's one remaining mine pri marily producing lead and zinc might close. It has kept operating largely because of the gold and silver content of its ore. Largest Slock load ing auk ptanoi In tbla part at the weet. Bent, ft fplnat plana, Bental . par chafe plan.. Hammond Organ Chord Organ LOUIS R. MANN PIANO CO. 120 No. 7th Other mines primarily produc ing lead and tine have closed, and Arizona output of these metals is now only about one third that of a year ago. Mining men say the closed mines will reopen only if the govern ment's stockpiling program yet to be spelled out provides an ade quate price floor, assures govern ment buying over a fairly long period and guarantees that the government, won't dump its metal stocks on the market later on. Some mining men think the mar. ket price of lead would have to rise to around 17 cents a pound, a gain of at least 3 cents, before mine owners would start rehiring lald-off miners. - Privately, copper men will tell you that they still look for the price to come down perhaps to 25 cents a pound, a drop of 6 cent if and when Chile returns to the world market with its huge pile of metal. ' Copper mine production here has been pared down because of signs of an approaching oversupply. So far the cutback has been mostly in costly overtime work.
