GENERAL PRIMARIES.

There are no political parties in
Oregon. Under our election law par
ties are impossible. True, the laws
are inconsistent. for under them can
didates are bound to enter party
primaries and when the primaries are
over the candidacy is no longer parti-
san. ./but personal. Some day the Ore
gon primary and general election
laws will be brought into better har-
mony by doing away with party pri-
maries and establishing general pri-
maries at which candidates will enter
without party brand and he forced to
stand entirely upon their record and
what they propose to do if elected.
That will be happy day for the
state. Then the shadow as well as
the substance of corrupt organization
control will be obliterated. Men will
be cleaner and give better service
when. they have no backing but the
service they render. The elections
will be determined, not upon party
regularity. but upon service rendered
And out of il will come more eff.
cient and economical government.

SMITH AND BOOTH.

On another page of this paper we
print an interview with DR.. c. ].
Smith, candidate for governor, enti-
tied Smith Has Worked Years for
Popular Government" 1t is full
statement of the work he has done in
this state in the interest of higher
ideals in government and civic life.
1t tells the story of why the Tidings
is for Smith. And in the same con-
nection it is but fair to say that Mr..
Booth and DR.. Smith served in the
state senate at the same time. Smith
and Booth were valuable allies in the
fight against the Jaynes Bill to re-
peal the local option law. They stood
together against the republican ma
chine to destroy Oregon normals.
Every line in the history of the pub
lie life of both Booth and Smith
shows them to have been always
working for the highest ideals of gov
ernment They both served in the
state Legislature and have proven
their ability and disposition to estab-
lish and enforce those principles that
make for better government and
cleaner administration. Both stand
squarely for statewide prohibition
Neither will have the support of the
saloons. Each must depend upon the
franchise of the best people of the
state for their record is such as tC
repel the CRATER and crook. The
Tidings has been asked, How car
you support both DR.. Smith and Mr.
Booth when they stand for diametric
ally opposed principles?" We an
swer, they stand absolutely as on,
on the most important principles il
government-clean, efficient and eco
nomical administration.

Ashland, Orc, Thursday, Oct. 20, IA
THE NEED OF ROADS THROUGH
GOVERNMENT RESERVES.

Ashland is almost surrounded with
government forest reserves. In for
warding the tourist resort project it
is almost an essential that Ashland
have good roads leading out to places
of attraction as to utilize her waters.
The Pacific highway is a tremendous
asset. The road from Medford to
Crater Lake should be made splen-
did tourist road. A road should be
constructed to Mount Ashland A
first-class road should run from Ash
land to Pelican Bay so as to form a
loop from Ashland to Crater Lake
by way of Pelican Bay and back to
Medford. Another should be built
either from Medford or Grants Pass
to the Marble Caves. This can only
be accomplished by cooperation with
the government, for two-thirds of the
mileage is through government re.
serves. Already the government is
committed to the policy of converting
trails through these reserves into
good automobile roads. Six thousand
dollars of government money wa:
spent last year on the road to Mount
Ashland and a large sum is now being
expended in building automobile
roads through the Crater Nationa
Park. Let the people of the Rogue
River Valley get behind government
appropriations to build roads through
these reserves. A solid front, with {
live wire in congress, will get these
appropriations. Ashland must have
these roads-the valley must have
them. There should be at least one
hundred thousand dollars appropri
ated by the government to build ;
road through the reserve to PelicaI
Bay and Mount Ashland. Then on
hundred thousand more should b.
Forthcoming to build and hard sur
face the road from the rim of Crate
Lake to the edge of the government
reserve on the Medford road, an
fifty thousand for the road throug

complished. Already the government
is committed to automobile roads
through government reserves. The
ice is broken. The policy is already
established. Ashland can very well
do without a federal building. She
cannot we'll develop without these
roads. Get the push behind live
congressman from this district-one
whose vision reached beyond the Will
lamette Valley-and this thing can be
accomplished. 1t cannot be brought
about in a thousand years with a
dead one like Hawley in congress.
Fred Hollister can get the necessary
appropriation. He has the disposi-
tion and the ability to do it. That is
one big reason the Tidings is for
Frederick Hollister.
The valley needs to get rid of her
local jealousies, of her partisanship;
broaden out, get together, put up a
SOllu ltOlls anu 1903
politics, and go after these appropri-
ations. If our Congressman is dead
one and does us no good lay him off
and hire a live one. 1t will take a
solid front and a first-class congress
man, interested in the development
of southern Oregon, to get these
things, but we can get them. Justice
demands such recognition from the
government Uncle Sam has no right
to hold vast bodies of land out of use
and development and he can be made
to see it. We must have a congress
man who will not sit supinely by and
allow us to be thus longer hemmed
in.
Vote for Frederick Hollister for
congress.

TRUE FUNCTIONS OF GOVERN
MENT.

Government should serve a higher
and better purpose than mere admin
istration in the interest of machine
politics. Its chief aim should be the
welfare of the men and women and
children of the state. Political ma
chimes, like corporations, are without
heart. They consider only means to
a given end, losing entirely sight of
men, women and children and social
justice-power, privilege, property, a
public office is private snap, to
control office and patronage and to
retain its hold on these, that is the
burden of its thought and the key to
its manipulation. Administration
grows unjust in exact proportion as
it loses sight of men and women. 1t
becomes absorbed in gain, in power,
in privilege and bends its every en-
ergy to control administration in the
interest of these. The peoples rule
is the opposite. Every voter is look
ing after the common interest with
equal power at the polls with every
other elector. AS life and liberty are
uppermost in the individual mind, it
becomes the chief aim of administra-
tion when the people rule. Liberty
means equal opportunity. The Ore
gon system is we'll devised. Under it
the individual is the government in
fact as we'll as in theory. The cor
rupt practices act and universal bal
lot give him chance to exercise his
power. He names the candidates and
legislates on measures. So long as
that continues equitable government
will result. Let the powers of gov
rernment slip back into the hands OF
the machine and privilege, graft and
corruption will again reign and men
and women will have little considera-
ton. A machine has no conscience.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1914-10-29
WHAT DIR. SMITH STANDS FOR

Dr. Smith believes that the states
business should be so conducted that
it will encourage decency, honesty,
economy, efficiency and upright citi-
zenship, and compel the impartial,
aggressive enforcement of every law.
He declares himself in favor of the
strictest enforcement of the liquor
law. if Oregon goes dry, so that the
state will be made dry in fact as we'll
as in law.
He stands for clean manhood
cleancitizenship-one standard of
decency for men and women.
He stands for the strictest economy
in public expenditures; for a reduc-
ton in the number of officeholders,
and the wiping out of political graft
ers, useless boards and bureaus and
other unnecessary jobs wherever pos
sible.
He stands for more practical SER
vice from public schools that will
widen the opportunities of every boy
and girl in Oregon; more attention
to the great fundamentals of educa'
tins and bread-and-butter usefulness
He is running his own campaign
He speaks out fearlessly and does not
mince words on issues for vote-get
ting purposes. He answers to the
beck and call of no corrupt politica
machine.
That is why the Tidings is for DR.
Smith.

After looking into the matter with
care the Tidings has concluded that
Thomas E. Nichols of Eagle Point,
candidate for state senator on the
democratic and prohibition ticket, is
worthy of support. Senator Won der
HELEN is a reactionary of the APP
proved type. He is against state
wide prohibition. We think that not
only DR.. Smith should be elected
governor, but that legislators in har-
mony with Oregon dry should be
elected as well. If Oregon goes dry
there will be need for proper laws to
put it into force. Such men as Sen.
ator Won der HELEN will not supply
those laws. VOTE FOR THOMAS E
NICHOLS for state senator.
