Today's discussion may aa well dual with two measures tdnce they uro com pan ions und have (o do v;llli the sumo subject. Thoy are the power meuHurea. The sixth nioiisurc on the bullot has this title: "Stato Power Mil." Thu title is simple and direct but the pro posed legislation In not so simple. A bit of history I ncceattary to tho proper understanding of the aims of the present proposal. At the 1032 gcncrul election the peo ple adopted what Is now Arllclo 1-I of the Oregon t-onutituLlou providing constitutional authority for the state to go Into the powor business. The amendment did not set up the method or procedure, merely providing perinlsulou for loglKliition creatiw; u state power l1 11 Bill 088. In VSA'A tho regular hobbIoh of the legislature paHHcd H bill providing the iteceHtutry legal machinery to put tho mate In the power busi ness. The referendum was Invoked against thia legislation anil In the buuoral ulectiou of J Uii I tne pcoylo rejected the atuto power bill. The lti;i5 soHBioil of the. loglala ture )U3ed a power bill ot sorts but it was vetoed by the governor. That bill wus linked up with the words "rural electrification" which was much under UlNcuttHlon at the time. Tho guvttfuor'B veto moHnago, howover, ctiuolchad that particular legislation so thut It did not reap pear at the upoelalf Hetudoii. "A bill similar to the proposition now on tho ballot vim considered by the legislature but failed to m:w. There arc many possibilities for argument ugi.liiHt tho grange pow er proposal. This newspaper chooses to pic.ient Its viev s on the broad fundamental that It believes there is ul ready too much govern- j ment. Thero Is already too much j government in Inininmis und nl- ready loo many lnroaun, com mis sions and commit teoH. costing; tax payer moaey and lurnhdiiiig rcrv Ices which ini;;l!t einilly be dis pensed with. To furl her eonipilei.to the state goverumert by voting lo put it In- to the power hUHlnot;.s focius un- vlsr. Everybody's busfneHfl is truly iiobiiily's iKiHiiietu. The idealistic view that the "people" will ow n and operate the power liuufneHH it thin measure Is passed Is fiction. ! Tlio politicians will run tho power business. The pidducliou and distribution of electric energy Is a muntiliulur Jng and retailing IuhIihhh. I ' nU-r political operation (he handling of such u busluesH In u political lath er than in an cflictetit way tnuld not be uvoldtd. The aim would hi' to get votes and retain political power, nil her than to promolo ef ficiency, Honda and hcIiooIm lire exempli of puhllc political mun rgement, We nee roads built (or no other good reason than lh.it po litical pif SMiie demanded litem.

There Is no oilier crossing of tlir mountains for u distance of nearly I'UU llllI.'H. Htat eontrolled power will sure ly mu'fcr the sumo fate. Holding to the principle that . goernnionl tdiould coinhie itself lo the Job of providing the iiorumt functions of government nod nothing more, litis newspaper believe tne state now er measure should be voted down. The seventh measure on the bal lot entitled "Stale Hydroelectric Temporary Administrative liourd Constitutional Amendment," mere ly provides that tho state board of control hall serve as the udminls tratlvo body for the power opera tions until a hoard as provided In tho power bill cnu bo elected should tho power bill pass at this election. If tho power bill ' passe and this amendment Is voted (low tho only erfect would be a delay In getting the state power business Into operation. Tho two power blllK on the bal lot are companions and the do ciaiou regarding onu of them should be applied to both.
