OREGON WILL VOTE
ON 32 MEASURES
Sixteen Constitutional
Amendments
VOTE "NO" ON COUNTY BILLS
People Effected Should Settle
the Matter Among
Themselves.
A Salem dispatch to the Ore
gonian eay: Time (or filing in
itiative petition cloeed at 2 o'clock
and the people of Oregon will be
called upon to vote on a grand
total of 32 measure at the coming
genearl election. With practically
each county having tome local leg
islation coming before it and a
great number of precincts voting '
on the question of "wet" or"dry"
there will be practically 35 meas
ures to vote on in the majority of
precincts.
Of the elate measures proposed
thire are 16 constitutional amend
ments. There are 25 measures pro
posed under the initiative and out
of the grand total of 32 there are
six measures proposed by the Leg
islature. One of the measures is
referendum of a legislative meas
ure on the question of raising the
salary of Judge William Smith in
the Eighth Judicial District.
Eight of the measures deal with
counties, six of these being propos
als for new counties and two of
them annexation measures, both
of these dealing with Multnomah
county. This leaves seven mis
cellaneous bills proposed under
the initiative plan.
Each one of the 32 measures re
quired over 8000 signatures on the
petition and many of them bad
over twice that number, but it waa
necessary for the force of the Secre
tary of State's office to check over
that number of names before re
ceiving the petition officially.
Ballot numbers have not been
given to all of the petitions, but
this work will be completed with
in a few days and the copy for the
ballot made ready to send to the
County Clerks throughout the
state, who have the task of print
ing the ballot. There were 19
mersures for clerks to place on the
ballots at the last election.
Six petitions were filed the last
day. One of-ihese was presented
by the Madras Commercial Club
and provides ways and means for
the creation of new counties, the
object of the bill being to place
more difficulties in the way of the
people. Four measures were filed
by the People's Power League by
W. S. U 'Ren, including a bill to
extend the primary, a constitution
al amendment providing for elec
tion of members of the Legislature
by proportional representation, a
bill for the inspection of public
officials and the publication of an
official gazette and a constitutional
amendment requiring that three
fourths of a jury may return a vir
dict in a civil case and generally
modifying the system of legal
procedure.
A petition was filed by Judge
Lionel R. Webster, of Multnomah
county, for the Good Roads Associ
ation. This is in the nature of a
constitutional amendment having.,
for its purpose a larger scope in
securing funds for road construc
tion.
In addition to the six measures
filed July 7 the 2(i other measures
are as follows, ballot titles not
being prepared for eome of them as
yet:
Woman'd taxpaying suffrage,
amendment granting to all tax
payers the right of suffrage.
A bill for the establishment of
an Eastern Oregon branch state
insane asylum. .,
