Vote to Save Industrial
Oregon
VOTE "NO" 329 "NO" 331
The very life of the future manufacturing and industrial progress of
Oregon hinges upon the defeat of the so-called "Water Front" bills, to
be voted on Tuesday, November 3rd.
So cunningly and adroitly are these bills worded there is grave
danger many people will be deceived.
If these measures become laws the result will be thst the State will
take title to the tiddands and submerged lands and will be prohibited
from selling any of these lands. They can only be leased for docks. No
more ship-yards, saw-mills, canneries or other plants requiring access
to deep water-nothing but docks, docks, docks.
Every citizen of Oregon wage earner, farmer, business manor
woman, wants to prosper. These measures if enacted will throttle pro
gress at the gate. Investors" will shun Oregon. This means no work
for the wage-earner, nothing to pay the store-keeper with and therefore
nothing to pass on to the farmer or producer. Let no one think these
bills do not concern him.
Before you go into the booth to vote, read S2'i and 331 carefully. Talk to your neighbors about
them.
Orefoa is rich in natural resources, but poor in development. What the state needs above every
thing else ia outatde money toom in and develop iU resources. That means GOOD WAGES. PLEN
TY OF WORK. GOOD PRICES and GOOD TIMES.
This is not a political question; it concerns only the prosperity of Oregon and of you.
Give Prosrres and Good Times a helping hand by voting "NO" ?29 and "NO" 331.
