There are nine measures appearing on the November 7 ballot,
carefully, and wisodm put on the execution of the ballot.
The first to appear in the amendment, to raise legislators’ pay
to $600. Thought should be given to this for an underpaid legis-
lator might be tempted to vote certain ways, if expense money
is in the offiing for him.
The second, an amendment lending state tax credit for higher
educatiton buildings deserves thought. Colleges, like secondadry
ristricts, have problems of lack of room.
No. 3 is the Veterans bill. This should be remembered in the
right way by Oregon people.
No. 4 is the school support bill. A yes vote is a must if Oregon
will keep abreast with other states of the nation.
No. 5 is the old age bill. Needy aged people have never been
given too much by Oregon in the past. Study this bill carefully.
No. 6 is a trickily worded amendment. A yes vote means that we
will not go on daylight savings time, and a no vote means we will
have daylight saving. What does your conscience say?
No. 7 is another veterans bill the bonus bill. This bill, like its
sister bill allowing credit to veterans on home purchasing, has
a definite place in the state’s obligations.
No. 8 is the re-apportionment bill, to re-group the districts of
the state, and to allow representation in legislature by virtue of
population as it is today.
The last one, the Alcohol bill is another tricky one. Why it was
worded n the present form the Pilot will never know, but the
passage will not get the results the people lighting liquor hope.
The Pilot does not wish to take any side in the voting, but it
does hope that Pilot readers will vote judiciously Nov. 7.

BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT, BROOKINGS, OREGON
The Home of Winter Flowers
By Dewey
Oregon, after a quarter cen
tury, had Idaho take her meas
ure in football, last Saturday
afternoon at Moscow, Idaho, as
the feud between the Vandals
and the Webfeet flared anew,
this time for keeps as far as the
Vandals were concerned.
Attesting the bitterness with
which this game was fought, a
glance at the penalties will tell
you quite a story. Bitterness in
this game reached its zenith, a
point quite high for these two
schools. Animosity dates back a
couple of years ago when the
two had quite a battle at Mos
cow, and tempers flared up.
While listening to the Cali-
fornia-U. S. C. game, Saturday,
1 was reminded of another feud
which waxed hot for the allotted
60 minutes—and California al
most lost to an inspired U. S. C.
team which had been anything
but pontent before this season. I
will wager that Pappy Waldorf
put on a few more gray hairs
in that short time.
What are these feuds doing
to college football? I can see,
perhaps within a few years, a
lot of de-emphasis put upon the
sport by all schools all over the
nation. In this case football is
becoming the tail that is wag
ging the dog.
Big schools, with their bigger
alumni, are buying up the bet
ter players through all kinds of
schemes — scholarships, grants,
and such. Gone are the days ot
having the game for the sport
which it is. Coaches are in bet
ter position than college presi
dents to command the salaries.
Gone, too, is the incentive for
the you to play the game for
the sake of the game.
