NINF MEASURES
FACE VOTER Oil
FRIDAY BALLOT
Sales Tax and Prohibition
Repeal Head List for
- Citizens' Decision
County Manager, two-Third
Vote on Bonds, Oieo tax
Issues to be Decided
Nin measures confront the
voters of Oregon at the forth
coming election July 21. Fir?
deal with the Oregon constitu
tion, one ' with' the federal con
stitution and three are -laws re
ferred to the voters of the state
for final determination.
Of prime importance are three
measures: two dealing with pro
hibition, state and national, and
one with taxation, the much de
bated sales tax which Oregons'
1933 legislature passed and re
ferred to a voters' plebescite.
A total of 116 delegates to
Attend the constitutional conven
tion to vote on repeal of the
Eighteenth amendment will be
chosen at the special election.
These delegates are pledged to
vote at the convention In com
pliance with the mandate of tho
voters in their respective coun
ties. The constitutional conven
tion probably will be held in Aug
ust, although Governor Meier has
not yet ' announced the definite
date.
Time Limit on Ronus
In Another Measure
Another measure on the ballot
provides that the payment of
cash bonus to War veterans shall
be discoiitinued immediately and
that no loans shall be made un
der the bonus act after June 30,
1938. Provision Is made In the
measure for the Issuance of re
funding bonds to take care of
maturing bonds for which money
ia not available.
Voters of any county would be
authorized to adopt the county
managerial form of government
under another proposal. This
measure would abolish all elec
tive county offices, with the ex
ception of county school superin
tendent and place all duties, ex
cepting those of & Judicial na
ture, under a county board and
its appointees. Judicial duties of
the county court would be trans
ferred to the county court.
The ballot also will contain a
proposal to modify the existing
grand Jury system by making it
possible to prosecute persons
charged with a crime upon an in
formation filed by the district at
torney. Sponsors of this amend
ment declare that the present
grand Jury system was cumber
some, and that the proposed
change in the law would save the
taxpayers many thousands of dol
lars annually.
Still another measure provides
that two thirds of all electors shall
be required to authorize, the issu
ance of bonds by municipalities
or other civil subdivisions. The
legislature would be required to
provide restrictions as to taxation
and Indebtedness.
Power Surrey Bond
Measure Coming up
Next on the ballot Is the pro
posal that general obligation five
per cent bonds of the state of Ore
gon be issued and sold In the
amount of 1103,779.45, which Is
equal to one-hundredth of one per
cent of the total assessed valua
tion of property in the state. The
money derived from the sale of
these bonds would be used for
making a state-wide power survey
in connection with the operation
of the grange power law. The lat
ter law, 'while not effective be
cause of referendum attack, auth
orizes the state to engage in the
power business and creates a
commission of three members to
administer its provisions.
The sales tax measure proposes
to tax gross Income from all safes
or exchange of tangible personal
property and service at two per
cent, and provides for certain ex
emptions. Another proposal would repeal
the remaining two dry sections of
the state constitution.
Tie ballot also contains a ref
erendum of the so-called oleomar
garine tax law enacted, by the
1933 legislature. This law pro
rides a tax of four cents a pound
on all oleomargarine manufactur
ed and sold within the state of
Oregon. Proceeds from the tax
would be distributed among the
several counties on the basis of
population and would be used tor
Indigent relief. Somewhat similar
oleomargine tax laws previously
were defeated by referendum on
three occasions. :
Election officials estimated that
approximately . 210,000 voters
would go to the polls at the spe
cial election. t

parison with the previous week

C. A. Job bureau yesterday show
ing 304 persons sent to work, a
gain of 155 over the first seven

number of men are to be placed
on state highway crews working
between Brooks and Aurora.
Farm labor again topped the
list last week, providing 25 4 Jobs

to gain. Last week's total of Jobs,
28, exactly doubled those of the
previous week. Other Jobs includ
ed two at woodcutting, two at
housework, six on state highways
and one at selling.
Cherry pickers continued in de
mand yesterday with 13 placed.
One flax puller, one flunky and
two blackcap pickers completed
the day's grist. ,
Though the number of persons
employed through the bureau last
week was not great in compari
son with the total of unemploy
ed on the county relief commit
tee's lists, its effects were being
felt to a small extent at relief
headquarters according to Glen

naped, was returned early this
morning. He was left from a ma
chine at Colllngville, 111. He is in

ransom was paid or not.
Blindfolded, the elderly banker
was set free on a side road off
the Collinsville road about a half
mile north of the Fairmont Jock

Luer, according to Sheriff Fitz
gerald, appeared to have stood
the ordeal well. He said that he
had been treated kindly by hi
abductors but that he received
very little to eat.
Luer was unable to tell where
he had been held a prisoner, ex
cept to say that he thought he
had been in some kind of a tun

He said that he had been dump
ed out of the automobile around
midnight and that at least three
and possibly four men were in
the machine from which he war
released.
