VOTE FIRST AND SECOND
Just in case Bend voters have forgotten what a preferential
ballot looks like we are reproducing here the one which will be
used on November 7 in the election of city commissioners
and municipal judge. For the five regular terms to be filled
on the commission and for both the regular and the short
term for judge, the opportunity for preferential voting is
provided. v.
What this means is that the voter, who would ordinarily
indicate only his first choice on as many positions as are to
be filled, mayj on this part of the city ballot, indicate also an
equal number of second choices. He may not show both first
and second preference for the same candidate. ;
There is no requirement that second choices be marked
but it is important that they should be. No condidate may be
' elected unless he receives a majority of votes cast. If his win
ning majority is on first choices his standing is not affected
by second choices. But as to any positions on which there
are only first choice pluralities, the decision is reached by
' combining first and second preference counts.
So it is as well to mark the ballot in both columns. Some
of the winners, may not be the best, in your opinion, but at
least you will have had more to say in deciding the final
result than would have been possible under standard
. balloting.
For five commissioners to serve regular terms beginning
January 2, 1951, there are the following ballot listings. You
may mark five first and five second choices.

LOOK AT THE COST ,
(Herald and News)
Fall Is the season ot the year
when you look- with nostalgic
longing at the last remaining
traces of summer, hear the geese
flying high overhead and smell
the smoke of burning leaves. That
other odor you smell Isn't a fire,
It's just the political pot beginning
to boil agin and give off the usual
nauseous odors. ,
Latest development In the fol-low-the-leader
race for the gover
norship of Oregon is the flinging
into the battle of the veterans. It
all started when a group of vets
got together and gave a rousing
cheer for McKay. He's our man,
they said, and went to work gath
ering in more workers. Now Aus
tin Flegel, the democratic tub-
thumper who is seeking the of
fice, comes out with the backing
of a so-called rank-and-file veter
ans' committee to back him in his
fight. The committee makes the
claim that McKay is "unsympa-
tnetic to the rights and needs of
the war veterans below the brass
hat level."
Hogwash! The high-soundine
principles that politicians hurl
around so freely mean less than
nothing when the cards are down.
Flegel and his ex-miiltarv hench
men can hollar and yell for a
Donus until tney re hoarse If they
want to. There will still be a
sound-thinking group of men.

see a handout start the ball roll

sheet to the press hauls out all
the available ammunition. They

claim that Harry has painted an
unnecessarily pessimistic picture
of the financial situation In order
to dampen , enthusiasm for the

from the Oregonian which states
that II uregon wants a bonus they
can afford it. (That last one
tickles me, mainly because the
politicians always feel free to belt

APPROACH TO BANKRUPTCY
Some of the most determined campaigning, being done
this fall Is in behalf of state measures that would call for the
spending of money. For the enlightenment of proponents
of these bills, it should be emphasized that the state ot Ure
iron is nlreadv oueratinir "in the red." and that enactment
of the legislation in question will hasten the day when the
state has less than nothing in its treasury.
Oregon's general fund balance decreased $17,893,487
$67,588,602 to $49,695,115 in the year ending September
30, 1950. Quite a difference between income and outgo. Even
without any new commitments it is likely that this shrinkage
will continue.
Various legislative measures have been placed before the
people, however, which would force new commitments. One
is the basic school support increase which, according to its
backers, would call for $12,000,000'a year. There is the vet
erfins' bonus bill which its promoters admit would take
another $3,000,000 a year. Each of these figures we believe
to be most conservative. These are amounts which will have
to be naid'if the bills in uuestion pass.
Should the needy persons bill fail to pass, it will allow the
outrageous demands of its iniquitous predecessor, the Dunne
old age pension bill, to become effective. No one knows how
vast us requirements wouiu uu uui vu an reniuuiuer mm ;
threat of its operation in VJ4& promptly destroyed an de
mand for the previously much desired Oregon bond issues:
The prohibition bill, if enacted, can be costly as it requires
that the state handle only non-advertised brands ot liquor,
varieties with which moonshine would bo in direct competi
tion. How heavy the loss can only be determined by experi
ence which, we think. Oregon can do very well without.
For one of the tax bills we are inclined to make nn excep
tion. That is the legislator pay increase, involving a
comparitively insignificant outlay to achieve a worthy
objective.
As to the others, they represent tax increases which Oregon
nlainlv cannot stand. Oregon must concentrate, rather, on
measures which will enable it to live within its income and the
income of its people.
