The only three state measures carry In c in the county In addition to tfie Income tax bill w-re the n gro suffrage nmendment, the J'ortland fu'hool tux levy a mend -fiii-nt and the criminal Informa tion amendment.,. The first car ried by 34 voles, the Kecond by 24 vole and the third by 719 vote. The vote w.'ih light over the en tire county. Aviation feats pile one upon iinothor. Tho first spanning of the Pacific to Hawaii has been accomplished by an Amcri-i can army plane. Jiyid is on his way across the Atlantic for' a round-trip hop. These things, as with Lindbergh's and' Chamberlin's successes, bode well for American aviation.! New interest in and enthusiahm for the possibilities of the air is being aroused. The impossible is no longer impossible j and we have a new inspiration toward accomplishment in all' lines of endeavor and in all ages of youth. j A "NO" ELECTION j The voter's standby, "when in doubt, vote No," seemed) to rule tho day yesterday as Oregon turned down every j measure designed to bring financial relief to the estate audi every measure indicating a tax increase. The general tend-l ency of opposition was not so apparent locally with the water! main bonds carrying by a slight margin and the county road iMHids losing by about the same ratio. For the first time in j the history of income tax elections Union county opposed; the history of income tax elections Union county came near to opposing the measure but finally showed approval with late returns by a majority of 1 IS. 4 i ' ""As' had 'been 'expected, the roacT"ttbnf issue ' wnl over heavily in Union, Elgin and Summerville, where the plan was originally sponsoied, but lost in other districts. The de- feat of the road bonds, however, does not indicate a majority) disapproval of an extended county road system. Indecision as to what is the best route into Medical Springs and the impression that much of the money would be spent in build-! ing a feeder highway into Walla Walla that would bringj that community into direct competition with the Grande) Konde valley these points, reasonable or otherwise, tell the: story of many votes in opposition. .V; IST TAX I'OItTI.ANi'.

In 1 ' ''F 1 4 Delightful Modes for the Holiday And That Summer Vacation Trip Yes 4S. 4 2,7 IS, I.; I The five-commissioner plan lost, as lind boon anticipated, )y a more than 2-to-l majority, liein favored in only onei precinct in the oily. The water main bonds carried all but two precincts. As time goes on people will appreciate the! good judgment of this decision. There is no reasonable ex-j cuse why the safety of I .a (irande's water system should! ever be in question. The now main will remove all doubt for! some time to come and is a safeguard that citizens have done well to approve. iii From all appearances the stale income lax is rapidly becoming a dead issue in Oregon. It will still be advocated by many people w ho believe the plan fundamentally sound j and fair, but it is doubtful if anyone will have the porsist-j enee to put another income tax measure on a ballot within the next few years. Last fall at the general election an in-j come tax law was voted down by a heavy majority and thei grange bill was and still is considered as erfeet an income; tax instrument as the state has ever considered. It, if it had I been approved, would have produced considerable revenue I with moderately high rates. It was defeated. Yesterday an! income lax measure, considered as nearly an ideal compromisel bill as could be had. was beaten by a convincing margin. So it looks as if Oregon citizens were not in a receptive mood for; this type of revenue measure whether it has high, medium.! or low rates; and it would indicate that an income tax could; not be approved here for a good many years to come. 11 v l The defeat of the new tax limitation base is the one eloe-j lion result that will cause greatest concern in the coming' months. With it delValed Oregon is in a puzzling situation: financially. No new revenue is forthcoming and the old tax base, reduced to a low point because of the old income tax1 receipts, prevents property taxes returning money that wilb be adequate for the state's affairs. We can, it is true, operate' for a year or so with a large book deficit ; but not indefinitely.! Some legislative solution is iniperat've and it looks very; much like Governor I'atteison will have to call a special! legislative session sometime within the next year. Kvon! that prospect does not inspiie hope. .Much the same piob-j lent confronted representatives and -enatois in January of this year. The income tax was the only offer they made.; With that killed, something moic generally approved as a' revenue getter must In found. The job is not to be envied.1 l'r.-p.
