RAY D. 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.

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.

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- !

SELLING A CAR . . .
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.
