A Situation We Face
Letters to the Editor
Dear Mr. M a rtin :
Would you be good enough,
through the medium o f the Sen
tinel. to express my thanks to the
people o f Cottage Grove. 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»

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.

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.

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

tax statements and voters were afraid of further tax in

school costs and this combined with the fact that the rural

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.
