QKOKCiB PUTNAM. Editor end Publiiher
Misses the Point
Governor Piecre by vetoing H. B. 384 has tacitcly approved
the publication autl circulation by irresponsible parties of
the yellow, green, red and other tickets on the eve of
elections. The bill required that persons putting out the
tickets, should register them with county clerks so their
identity be known, and the acceptance of a place on the
ticket be acknowledged.
In his veto message the governor misses the point entirely
when he says:
"Tlili bill Is Intended to prevent the publication, circulation and
distribution ot election tickets on or prior to election day. 1 fail to
see the necessity ot uch a law. The friends ot good government,
lacking the cohesive power of the selfish forces, often have no other
method of conveying their information to their friends except through
a ticket published and distributed prior to or on election day. I fail
to see any wrong or crime that might be committed by the innocent
circulation of tickets endorsing certain candidates by certain groups
of people."
There was nothing in the bill preventing the friends of
good government or any organization from placing tickets
in the field it merely assured the good faith and responsi
bility of the organization and it would have put an end to
the represensible practice of placing persons upon tickets
without their knowledge and consent, thereby injuring their
candidacies.
How is " "oing to help good government to continue
outrageous abuse of ticket traffieing by unknown and
irresponsible politicians and secret society fakers?

"They want to save their money. Let Rome burn,"
frantically shouts the Portland Journal as it contemplates the
outrage perpetrated by submitting to popular vote a
moritorium on income taxation.
Yet the Journal has told us many times that the voice of
T ; people is the voice of God and whatever they vote, they
yote right. So we see no reason to rave wildly over letting
f people vote again upon the subject of income taxes.
One thing, however, the Journal is silent upon, and that is
economy. Like the governor and legislature it seeks new
revenues' for more taxation to support new office-holders;
instead of reducing expenses to fit the income.
K a practical policy of business efficiency governed the
state, there would be no necessity for either income or
tobacco taxation, and yet effect a reduction in taxation. But
economy seems a forbidden subject at least a forgotten one.
All the pre-election pledges have fallen by the wayside.
