Committee Hearing on
Voting Machine Measure
Approval of a bill permitting
counties of Oregon to initall
voting machines was urged at a
meeting of the bouse elections
and reapportionment committee
by Gene Rossman, former Mult
Bomah county commissioner,
William M. Tugman, Eugene
newspaper editor, and Larry
Watson, member of the Eugene
city council.
Bossman told members of the
committee that Installation and
use of the machines would re
- duco the cost of elections and
likewise would speed up the
ballot result.
The machines, Rossman said,
generally pay for themselves in
10 elections. New York City, he
added, had installed voting ma
chines BO years ago and is still
using some of the same ma
chines. He pointed out that In Mult
nomah county the average cost

of each vote cast is 89 cents
while in King county, Washing
ton, in which Seattle is located
and where voting machines hsve
long been in use, the cost is only
27 cents a vote. The machines
are being used in 350 cities and
towns in the nation and 29
states out of the total of 48 are
using the voting machines.
Voting machines would guard
against corruption which Tug
man declared was possible in
the counting of votes on the
paper ballots. Tugman said that
Lane county, where he resides,
20 years ago was among the
first counties to complete its
election count.
"Now Lane county is one of
the slowest and it sometimes
takes as high as three days to
complete the count of ballots in
the county" he said.
Tugman pointed out that if
counties desired to install vot
ing machines, it could be done
on the installment plan, begin
ning with the Installation of a
few machines and adding some
each year.
Under the terms of the bill
now before the committee,
paper ballots could be used by
voters if they desired them in
preference to voting machines,
This section brought opposi
tion from Rep. Monroe Sweet-
land, democrat from Multno
mah county, who said that in
asmuch as probably only three
or four voters would use the
paper ballots, there would be
too much danger of eliminating
the secrecy in voting. He declar
ed however he was in favor of
permitting counties to install
voting machines.
Mrs. Frederick Young, promt-
nent in Multnomah county Re
publican activities, exp r a s s e d
some fear that in rush hours the
machines would hold up the line
of voters more than at present
with use of paper ballots.
Rep. E. H. Mann, cbrirman of
the committee, announced the
committee would study material
furnished by the witnesses be
fore voting on the bilL
