In spile of a great deal of good natured Joshing about being silly to ask : ffiu a job that has no remunera tion and plenty of headaches 1 teel deepb appreciative that the people o f Cottage Grove have ac cepted me as their Mayor. My hope is that by working i hand in hand w ith the council and the citizens of Cottage Grove that ' the next tw o years w ill be highly I constructive ones. I would appre ! ciate it very much if anyone w ho] has a constructive idea o r plan, that they feel would benefit our city, would contact me and tell me about it. Sincerely yours, J. S. CREPEAl» To the electors of Voters Did a Good «lob Two Party System Good for State The welfare of Oregon would undoubtedly be benefitted by a change of administration occasionally the same as the nation and the chances might be good for such a change, if the minority party came through with a constructive pro gram without being too far to the left or right and without trying to ape the national administration which has been in power for 20 years. It has been our observation that the minority party has been inclined to go off the deep end of several issues in the past, which has not helped the party cause. In the state senate there will be five democrats and twenty-five republi cans, a loss of four for the democrats. In the house there will be nine democrats and 51 republicans.

I want to thank you fo r the leadership and help you gave. We are aware o f and grateful for your personal cooperation in the extraordinary efforts o f W. M. Tugman, editor of t h e Eugene Register-Guard, who w ith Howard Merriam , called on you several months ago. Here were two highly technical measures, one w ith a confusing, misleading ballot title , that the voters needed to understand in the interest of the state’s highway welfare. The discrim ination the; showed at the polls is due to the newspapers o f the state who c la ri fied the issue so well that the voters were able to understand our meager advertising and were not confused by the more elab orate arguments of the opposition. C ertainly the power o f an in formed and courageous press was dram atically demonstrated and the vote is a high trib u te to the confidence o f the public in the newspapers o f Oregon. Thank you. Oregon State M otor Association Ray Conway, Manager. I w ant to express m y apprecia tion fo r the opportunity o f being in the Spelling Contest sponsored by the Sentinel. •It has been good experience and I have enjoyed it.

Personally, and fo r the Oregon The voters in the recent general election did a good job in wading through the nineteen measures, even though the results in some cases were disappointing to us. The disap pointing ones were worded plainly enough, so there was no chance of confusion. Particularly gratifying to practically all newspapers was the passage of the weight mile highway tax and the defeat of the truckers highway bill, which shows that even though no funds are available for a good measure, the people are able to make a wise choice. Two or three worthy measures probably went down be cause the taxpayers had just gotten their state and county tax statements and voters were afraid of further tax in creases. which would have been the case in the county nurs ing home. In the case of the school reorganization bill, a lot of people had the idea that the measure would increase school costs and this combined with the fact that the rural people generally opposed it, while the city people were indif ferent. spelled defeat. We think the last legislative session deserves criticism for referring so many initiative measures to the people, that should have been solved by the legislature. This initiative and referendum business can get to be a popular pastime with the legislature, which means this body can pass the buck. The average voter does not have the background of some of the controversial measures to make an intelligent decision.
