HERE Is. THE ANSWER:

Behind the scenes in this attempt to MANIPULATE the
PUD laws you will find financial campfollowers and
politicians who want elbow-room for their opera
TONS What they tried and failed do in Hood River
County is fair sample of their schemes
When they examined the Oregon PUD laws they
found Joker thsa would allow an. Oregon PUD to
reach out all the State So they up their
in Hood River County, and induced the directors of
small rural PUD containing less than of the States
population to call election issuing One Hundred
and Seventy-fve Million Dollars of bonds-enough to
take of the in the whole State!
These promoters had previously sewed up the Hood
River PUD in exclusive contract giving them cut
on the deal amounting to much as S., 100000 But
the voters of Hood River County took good look
and decided they didn't want to be the suckers for
$175,0OO,0O0 bond issue! They voted it down.
AND NOW THEY TURN TO WASHINGTON!
The bonddeal promoters and poiticos now look with
hungry eyes on Washington -because in Washington
the county PUBS issue bonds without vote of the
people They like these conditions better than in Ore
gon, where the people still vote on PUD bonds.
Only thing is needed to make Washington para
disc for PUD bond "specialsts-and that is Referen-
dunn Is Just get Referendum Is passed. and then giant
Statewide Super-PUD consolidation can be formed
without vote of the people, to issue unlimited millions
OF bonds without vote of the peope-to put in
Washington bigger scale the same kind of scheme
that they couldn't get past the citizens of the Hood
River Valley. .-.. 80. --
DON'T VOTE AWAY YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE!
State laws preserving the peoples right to vote were
meant to protect citizens against this sort of thing.
Referendum rs is bold attempt legalize scheme
dsfranchise the voters to hamstring the State laws
and the courts, to issue hundreds of millions of bonds

COMMITTEES call for a fourth
term for President Roosevelt is
bringing forth sharp retorts from
sections of the country commonly
regarded as safely Democratic
under all except the most unusual
circumstances. 1t seems reason
able to suspect that the move
ment for an indefinite term for Mr..
Roosevelt will meet continuing
opposition; the description of the
present President as the inevitable
leader "in war and peace is be-
coming increasingly difficult to
stomach. "T he Dallas Morning
News" independently Democratic
and perhaps the most influential
newspaper in the Southwest. has
come out with a vigorous editorial
against fourth term. "The News"
says:
If Roosevelt is reelected. then
one fact is indisputable. We shall
have arrived at a time in America
when a child may grow to the ma
turity of middle age under the ma
tional leadership of a single man.
We shall have fallen a victim to
what seems to be an inevitable ten
dency of democracy to crystalline
into autOcracy under the impact of
trying times. We shall have ad-
verted at last to a political prac-
tice that we of the United States
have considered a distinguishing
difference between our own democ-
racy and that which has prevailed
among most of our Latin-American
neighbOrs. And, oddly enough, We
shall have arrived at this stage,
seemingly just as they are getting
away from il. The national political
slogan of Mexico today is sufragio
effective; no reelection. They have
learned their lesson in the school
of experience.
There will be. we suspect. more
of this. The tide is running
strong.

There are no short cuts in that

THE SHOCK AND ANGER pro-

certain analogies i'm the effect of

purposes-bOth Germany and ia

many peoples in Europe and Asia

such treatment there was stunned
amazement before the national
wrath found expression.
Americans, as Il people, are slow

Some individuals and groups may
be set upon a hair trigger. prompt
to explode and fill the land with
clamor. Just so. there are a few
today who are rending the air with
empty demands that we steam
straight into Toxic and blow it into
Hades." This clatter is far removed
from the stern. hard will that
drives a nation to the successful
prosecution of a war, using all it's
skills, all its military and civilian
energies, hitting the enemy where
the most damage can be done at
the smallest relative cost, dispos-
ing of obstacles as they appear,
patiently and ineXOrably. But it is
equally distant from the abiding
temper of the American people; it
misrepresents them when politi-
clans talk strategic nonsense sim
ply because of sudden accession
of rage.
The crimes of the Japanese and
of the Germans cannot be wiped
out by shouts for vengeance. The
appallingly intricate mechanism of
a nation at war against implacable
and willy foes cannot be directed by
hot-headed wrath, however just,
however patriotic. 1t may, doubt
less, give some Americans supreme
satisfaction to demand that the

Army, set out for Japan to avenge
