' MANY MEASURES FOR VOTERS OF OREGON Taxation Proposals Are Held to Be of Far-Reaching Im portance to the State. Halem. That the electorate of the state will have nearly the same num ber of proposed bills and constitution al amendments to wrestle with at the November election as It had at the laHt general election is indicated by the number referred by the last gen eral assembly and those filed with the secretary of slate for approval as to form.
