FISHER, Editor and Publisher Sheldon Sackett, managing editor of the Salem Statesman, is authority for the statement that Gov. Meier is considering running as an independent candidate to succeed himself. Let’s hope-assuming that Mr. Sackett’s information is correct—that it never gets beyond the considering stage. ----------- 5—5—5----------- Lipstick imprints on beer mugs are very difficult to wash off, ’tis said, and a number of Portland beer dispensers face arrest for having dirty glasses. Looks as though they’d have to serve beer in paper cups to damsels with red lips. ----------- 5—§—§----------- Efforts to get Mahoney to climb on the Martin band wagon appear to have fallen flat. Evidently the Klamath mayor doesn’t fancy the music. ------------- §—§—§-------------- The transfer strike is off, and the fishermen’s strike is on. Next week what, in the strike line? II hat Other Editors Say Arbitration Laws Imperative Radicals have undoubtedly augment ed and fomented the violence which has accompanied the strikes over the country that appear now to be settled and is ac companying strikes now in progress. But the radicals are not wholly at fault, for surely there must be few who are so simpleminded as not to know, that pickets armed with clubs and rocks are intended to use sufficient violence to prevent work being done which the strikers refuse to do, and that in times likes these when thousands of men are out of employment really peaceful picketing will not prevent efforts by needy workers to fill strikers places. Reliance for the success of strikes under these circumstances must therefore really be placed upon violence, therefore the efforts of officers to prevent violence are looked upon as efforts to defeat the strikes, and are resented and resisted. Regardless of the matter of whether employers or employees are at fault in the matter of the causes of the strikes which have been or are in progress over the country, it has been demonstrated as often before that eventually all disagree ments of moment between employers and employees must be settled by arbitration. Therefore both congress and the state legislatures should at the first opportuni ty enact measures providing for arbitra tion of disputes between employers and employees in every line of industry. The public opinion which was the real cause of the tr. ee in the coast strikes will surely approve of measures that will prevent strikes a.id also prevent the shutting down of industries during the process of settle ments. Such laws with adequate penalties provided will prevent avaricious employ ers from grinding down their employees The ^Progressive” Entry A group of voters who are dissatisfied with the recent primary election and the gubernatorial candidates it produced, last week entered Peter Zimmerman to run in the fall race and to carry the colors of “True Pogressives,” whatever that may mean. At his nomination in Salem, he was lauded as “a real dirt farmer with dirt under his finger nails.” But what the voters are mostly con cerned with is the effort of another small minority to foist an independent candi date upon the state at large. Zimmerman and his supporters had their chance at the primary. But—and here is the joker —the “true progressives” were not the supporters of Zimmerman at the time of the primary, for the simple reason that Zimmerman was not then a candidate. Rather he is an aftermath—a smoke screen to hide the chagrin of a group which evi dently was a poor loser at the primary election. While we do not believe that Zimmer man will make even a good race of it next fall, we are interested to note that he finds himself in favor of just about those things which he expects might win him votes. In this, he has taken a leaf from the politician’s guide book which, in other years, has served some of them so well. But in these times of adversity, it is dif ficult for even the most astute politician to include in any platform more than a small percentage of all the things which voters would like to have—and then, again even the voters themselves are not cer tain for more than a few days at a time as to what they are willing to vote for. All of which creates a political situation which at best, is abnormal. Yet, back of the average voter’s mind is a long-sus tained antipathy to independent candidates who fail to take their chance at trie pri mary, and whether it will be possible for the “true progressives” to lull the average voter into forgetfulness through “shots” of promises, remains to be seen. Our own guess is that the coming race will be be tween Dunne and Martin, with Zimmer man an also ran.—Hood River News. ----------- 5—5—5----------- GOVERNMENT SHOULD ACT The federal government should fully inform itself regarding communism and arm itself with powers necessary for the defense of our constitution and democratic form of government. The activities of this group clearly break the pledge made to this government on the recognition of Soviet Russia. Citizenship throughout the country should instruct its congressional members to secure action for the protec tion of American institutions and govern ment. Candidates should express them selves on these important questions—Hills- ! boro Argus. ----------- 5—5—5----------- The only colored shirt clans that will bear investigation in these days of dic tatorships are those of the red, white and blue.—Portland Spectator.

There are some things we re-1 fuse to do to sell a car. We like sales, but fair-dealing and the confidence of our customers are desirable too. For one thing, we refuse to poison any one’s mind against another make of car. We know what our car is and what it will do, and we are ready to tell you about thta. But to imply defects ' in another car is not our busi-1 ness. We have done our utmost to encourage intelligent buying of motor cars by showing purchas- ers how to protect their own in- terests. All that a good producer asks is a customer who knows quality when he see it. An intel ligent purchaer will speedily con clude that only a bad product re quires bad sales methods. We refuse to keep dinning in your ears that the Ford V-8 is the best, most economical, lowest priced car. That is claimed for several cars. Obviously it cannot be true of all. There comes al point where claims and adjectives and all advertising hysteria dis appears in its own fog. Personal ly, I prefer facts. We say the Ford V-8 is the best car we have ever made. We say that our 8-cylinder car is as economical to operate as any lower number of cylinders. We say that we have always been known as the makers of 1 good cars, and that the many good, well-balanced qualities of our present car place it at the head of our line to date. , Any one wishing to do business with us on these principles will find our word and the quality of our product to be Al. What we say about economy, operation and durability will stand good any where. Henry Ford —Adv.
