The Power Bills.
npIIK THItKE mentiurca on tlio
ballot that huvo not yet beun
discuHseil In thia column tiro three
luobMiruu nuoiiHored und vallantty
fought for by tlio Oregon .St ato
Grange.
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.
Wo hw our stato normal school
syHtem deccutrulined and Bcutterrd
over the stale because of poltllcnl
prosKiire. Wo saw two lilgiiwn
built acio:ts the Cascades within a
fnw mlh'K of one another- the fas
cado highway anil the McKen.ie
highway, became of political pies
mho fiom the Willamette valley.
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.

ON DEBTS AND TAXES
, Cioveruor Lundou said recently:
"We must remember that every
time the goveruiueut spends a dol
lar, that uullar will have to be paid
by us or we must pass the debt on
to be paid by our children. No
parents like lo leuve their children
a heritage of debts and niortguges.
.Tile preseul administration's dully
'mounting deficits are closing the
door of opportunity to your chil
dren and my children. We musl
not lose sight of the fuct thut a
public deft Is Just us niuill of a lia
bility to each and every individual
as a private debt. It Uas always
been uiy belief that the' govern
ment should rulse the major por
tion of its revenue from direct
taxes levied on the net Incomes of
Individuals and corporations. When
tills is ilono, everyone pays his
fair sharo und knows Just how
much the government Is costing
him. On the other hund, If the ma
jor portion of tho government's in
come Is obtained from Indirect and
hidden taxes taxes upon s,uch
tlilnca as food, clothing, gasoline
and cigarettes then the main bur
den fails upon those of small In
come and the cost of government
is hidden. In this case, It is the
wage earner, tho salaried worker,
the farmer, and the small business
man, who have to pay most of the
hill."
