That's what the so-called "Water Front" bills, Numbers 328 and 330 on the ballot, will do if passed at the Novem ber election. Why make it impossible to build saw mills or any other industrial, labor-producing plants on the rivers and bays of Oregon? That's what the passage of these bills will do. Why cripple the development of our great timber re sources; why cripple all future manufacturing in Oregon? That's what will take place if the people vote "yes" on numbers 328 and 330. - Why lock up the thousands of acres of Over-flow lands bordering upon the navigable waters of the State and its miles of water front for the benefit of "future generations;" why not let the present generation have some of the benefit from the use of these lands? Industries of all kinds will be driven from Oregon and intending investors will turn their backs upon the State if these so-called "Water Front" bills become laws. That is why every man, woman and child in Oregon will be adversely affected if these bills are passed by the peo ple in November. Oregon needs outside capital to develop its great natural resources but we will drive it away if we pass Numbers 328 and 330 on the ballot at the November election. If these so-called "Water Front" bills are passed by the people, a vast amount of property will be withdrawn from taxation in this State and this great burden will be thrown upon the rest of the taxable prop erty, resulting in a heavy increase in everybody's taxes. These bills are vicious; they are destructive of the very best inter ests of the State; they ought never to become laws. The way to defeat them is to vote "NO" 329 and 331.

And it is a well known fact that taxes scarcely ever decrease and the high level to which taxes 'will be pushed by the splitting up of the county will be maintained, for it is the experience of any county that taxes are relatively low in its be ginning but gradually mount higher with the desire for better roads, finer buildings, higher salaries for officers and expensive innovations in county government, and it is reasonable to believe that these new counties would be no exception.

In fact, statistics as is generally known can be made to serve almost any purpose the U9er desires, but in case of the division of the county no statistics will be necessary to convince the taxpayers and inhabi tants of the utter folly of the division, for they will have abund ant and convincing proof by the burden inflicted on them by new counties at this time.
