Five proposed amendments to
the constitution and threS pro-
posed laws aro to be ratified or
rejected by the voters of the
ift state at the special election to
4 be beid June i, next. All were
4 considered by the 191? legisla
4t tire assembly, and by it re-
t erred to the Voters for final
4t action. The Journal is oreseht-
lng a summary and discussion
ih of those different amendments
it and measures from time to time
4t for the information of the pub-
llc in order that wide publicity
of their terms and intent may
ft be an added guide to the Voters q
in their study of them.
The sixth measure on the ballot at
the special election of June 4, Is a pro
posed constitutional amendment sub
mitted by the legislature providing
that the election for city, town and
state officials shall be held on the
ame day throughout the state. The
numbers on the ballot are "310 yes"
end "3 11 no."
The proposed amendment provides,
in brief, that all city, town and state
elections shall be held on the same
day; that on that occasion all elective
officials shall tfcchosen, from presi
dential electors to constable and town
marshal; that the same polling: places
and the same election officials shall
be used. Cities, towns arid the legis
lature are required to enact such char
ter amendments, ordinances and stat
utes as will give force and effect to
the amendment should it be adopted
by the voters at the election in June.
Primaries Are Included.
The amendment covers both primary
and general elections, both city and
state, arid the sole sustaining argu
ment made by its proponents is one of
money saving In election cost, it being
estimated that the plan would bring
about an annual reduction of approxi
mately $50,000 throughout the etate
at large.
While it is true that the merging of
all elections throughout the State lflto
on would probably result in some
money saving, the strong objection is
being urged against the plan that its
operation would also Jumble the issues
so that city and county elections would
practically be lost in the shuffle.
At the general election of November
7, 1916, there were 120 candidates and
11 measures on the Multnomah county
ballot. The voters were called upon
to cast their - ballets for presidential
electors. Congressman, secretary of
state, Justices of the supreme court,
dairy and food commissioner, public
service commissioner, circuit Judges,
members of the legislature, district at
torney, county Judges, commissioners,
sheriff, clerk, treasurer, assessor,
school superintendent, surveyor, cor
oner and constable. At the same time

PERFECT SCORE MADE
IN AVIATION TEST
Norman
Espey.
Out Of 250 examined, Ndrman T. Es-
pey, son of w. O. Espey, 93 Cant Fifty
third Street, is one of the two Oregon
men who succeeded in passing the navy
aviation test with a perfect mark.
Espejr arrived here Tuesday from
Spokane, took the examination Wed
nesday, and Thursday departed for Pen-
sacola by Way of Ban Francisco. He
has long been familiar with gas en
gines, after leaving school giving his
time completely to this branch of me
chanics and especially automobiles. He
has been fn the employ -of the Baton
and Paige automobile concerns. Mr,
Espey wai born in Portland 25 rears
ago ahd attended the Sunnyside gram
mar school.
there were eight proposed constitu
tional amendments and three bills on
the ballot.
Would Increase Confusion,
It was a long ballot. Most of the
Initiative measures and amendments
were of serious importance to the peo
pie of the Btate. The state ticket was
important. The national election, how,
ever, overshadowed the state ques
tions and measure arid the great pre
ponderance of public interest was cen
tered upon the election of president.
The fear is expressed that under such
circumstances the election of a mayor.
or city commissioners, or the adoption
or rejection of the proposed plan to
overturn the commission form of gov
eminent would have been entirely sub
merged and lost sight of in the heat
of the presidential and state cam
PAtgns.
"Would Stake Ballots fconffer.
During recent years a continual cam
paign has been conducted throughout
the country for the short ballot. Stu
dents of consistent ahd Careful gov
ernment have largely won their con
tention that the simpler the ballot and
the more compact the issues can be
made in their presentation the better
the results Will be in state and mu
nlcipal government. The proposed con
soltdation of state, county and munici
pal elections is looked upon by these
people as a direct and definite retro
gresslon, the disadvantages or wmcn
would far outweigh the monetary
saving that might be accomplished.
In other Words, It is feared that the
confusion of issues and the multiplicity
of candidates would necessarily mean
lessened opportunity on the part of
the voter to Judge measures and men
and would result in the enactment of
doubtful measures.

Constitutional amendment, referred
by the 1917 legislature first on the
state ballot, entitled "Authorizing ports
to create limited indebtedness t en
courage water transportation."
This proposes to amend section 9 of.
article XI of the state constitution in
such manner that the people of any
1 5i Ly .iTfw. i ,nn e.eMr4

property within the district to be ex
pended as a bonus to aid In the estab
lishment Of water commerce Between
that port and both foreign and domestic
ports.
The constitution at present provides
that no municipal Corporation, by a
direct Vote of the people or otherwise,
can raise money for, or loan Its credit
to, any Joint company, corporation or
association whatever. The amendment
makes an exception to this rule by j
giving the people of a port district the
power, by an af firmatlva majority vote
of all persons voting oh a proposal, to
authorise a direct tax or a bond issue.
Within the limit noted above, for the
purposes mentioned.
The voters who believe that the peo
ple of a port district should have the
authority to tax themselves in such
manner and for sueh purpose should
vote "300 X Yes"; those who oppose
granting such authority should vote
"301 X No".
A proposed law, referred by the 1917
legislature, second oh the state ballot
entitled "A Bill for Taxation of Oregon
& California Land Grant."
This is the so-called "Bean Mil." it
asserts, in effect) and contrary to the
express provisions tSt the act of con
gress known as the Chambeflain-Ferris
act recently declared valid by the' su
preme court of the United States, that
the Southern Pacific Railroad company
owns the 2,300,000 acres of the Oregon
California land grant in fee simple,
and declares, on the ground of this as-
Ssertlon, that the state of Oregon pos
sesses the sovereign right to tax these
lands. It directs the county assessors
of the It land grant Counties to place
tne grant lands on the assessment rolls
and levy taxes against them, notwith
standing the fact that congress, in
the Chamberlain-Ferris act, revested
title in the United State thus making
i the lands again government lands, and,
j consequently, untaxable by the state.
should enact a statute in conflict with
a federal statute should vote "902 X
Yes." Those who do not believe the
state should attempt 00 to do Should
vote "303 X No."
A constitutional amendment, sub
mitted by the legislature, third on the
ballot, entitled "Limiting Number of
Bills Introduced and Increasing Pay
of Legislators."
This measure proposes to amend Sec
tions 18 and 29 of Article IV of the
constitution. At the present time a
senator or representative is not limited
as to the number of bills he may in
troduce.
Members of "both houses are bald tS
per day. With the limitation that the
per diem shall not exceed $120 for any
regular session, which has the effect
of practically limiting the regular ses
sions to 40 days.
The proposed amendment would limit
each member to the introduction of
'four bills at a
session, while senate
limited to the lntro-
I committees are
duction of a total of 30 and house com
: mineea 10 a total ox ou umo. irna
wouia limit tne numoer 01 dius i any
session to 450, exclusive of appropria
tion bills. The amendment also raises
the pay of legislators to $6 per day,
with a total per diem to each member
of not more than 1300 for each regular
session, the equivalent of full pay for
a 50-day session. - The adoption of the
amendment would very probably result,
in practice. In the lengthening of the
regular cession from 40 to 60 days.
The voter Who desires to limit the
number of measures introduced and to
raise the pay of the members from SS
per day for 40 days to $6 per day for
50 days should vote "304 x xtr
those opposed should vote "305 X No
eh
A constitutional amendment, sub
mitted br the legislature, fourth on
the banot entitled "Declaration Against
implied Repeal of Constitutional Pro
vision hv Amendment Thereto."
This proposes X.9 amend section 1 or
oC th constitution. It pro-
VvS-Tin naVt or carts c5

stating the fact of such repeal shall
be void. The effect of the amendment.
If adopted, would be to take from the
voters the right now given by the con
stitution to alter or amend it, when
ever in the opinion of the supreme
court a, newly adopted amendment re
pealed an existing provision without
definitely saying so. It would give
til vvuoviinuvu w a ww ay wm ..w.
the court the power to set aside a duly
adopted constitutional amendment, no
matter what affirmative majority it
might have received at the polls.
Those voters who believe they
should place such a limitation upon
their present right of constitutional
amendment should vote "308 X Yes";
those who do not so believe should
vote "307 X No."
A constitutional amendment, sub
mitted by the legislature, fifth on the
ballot, entitled "Uniform Tax Classi
fication Amendment."
This ProDOses to amend section 32
of article I and section l ot article
IX of the' constitution by broadening
the present constitutional basis of
taxation beyond real and personal
property. The effect of Its adoption
would be to permit the enactment of
laws taxing the gross income of cor
porations ahd the passage of other
similar statutes to reach invisible or
intangible property which now es
capes taxation because not coming
within the real and personal property
limitations of the constitution.
The voters who believe that the
legislature, Or tn people by the in
itiative, should have authority to ex
tend the taxing poWer of the state
beyond the ownership of real and
personal property should vote "808 X
Yes"; those who oppose the extension
of such authority should vote "309
X No."
A constitutional amendment, sub
mitted by the legislature, sixth on
the ballot, entitled "Requiring elec-
! tlon city, town and state officers at
same time;
This proposes to add a new sectlod
to article It Of the constitution,
known as section 14-a. It provides,
in brief, that all incorporated cities
and towns shall hold their primary
and regular elections oh the same
dates as the primary ahd general
State elections, and that the same
election precincts and election offi
cials shall serve for both municipal
and general eleotions. . The propo
nents of the amendment urge eco
nomy in its support, contending that
the merger would eliminate, in large
part, the expense of separate munici
pal elections. Those opposed to the
amendment contend that it would re
sult in congested elections where mu
nicipal candidates and issues would
be overshadowed ' by state and na
tional issues.
The voters who desire the adoption
of the amendment should vote "310
X Yes"; those who oppose it should
ivote "811 X No."
A bill, referred by the legislature.
seventh on the ballot, entitled "Four
Hundred Thousand Dollar Tax Levy
for a. New Peniteniarv."
The bill was enacted by the legis
lature and referred to the people be
cause the appropriation of $400,000
it carried, taken with other legisla
tive appropriations, would have ex
ceeded the six per cent Increase lim
ited by the recent constitutional
amendment, and, therefore, to be af
fective must receive the affirmative
vote of the people. The bill provides,
in brief, that an appropriation of
$400,000. divided into foUr annual
parts of $100,000 each, be raised by
direct' taxation, for the purpose of
constructing a new state penitentiary
building.
The bill resulted from the report
of the commission appointed by the
governor to make a survey of tho
prison which reported that tne pres
ent building was overcrowded, in
capable of proper sanitation and so
arranged that there could be no ade
quate Segregation Of prisoners or at
tempts at vice control.
Those who believe that the appro
priation should be given should vote
'312 X Yes"; those who do not "313
X No."
The measure designated jas the "Sit
Million Dollar Road Bond issue and
Highway Btll" provides for the Issue
within the next five years of $6,000,
000 of 4 per cent serial state high-
war bonds from which ro hard sur
face main trunk highways, designated

The Issue of the bonds is restricted
as follows: One million the first

following article deals with the
proportionate saving secured
for the city as a result of ad-'
vantageous contracts secured
by the department.
In 1912, the last year under eou&-

lights in use. It oost the city, under
the then existing rsatract, $189,191 to

over 1911, and the cost of the service
waa $183,024. under the fates given by
a contract of 191J. . .
