The following article with re gard to Portland school elections may be of some value in solving local problems that will come up at elections to take place this month: As the impossible cannot be expected in connection with an election, Attorneys Nicholas & McCoy have advised School Clerk Thomas that certain provisions of the new law governing school elections will have to be ignored at the election to be held June 19. This provision is to the effect that when voters register thev must state whether or not they are taxpayers. Only taxpayers are eligible to vote at a school election. The law further nro- vides that the registration books shall be delivered to the election officials in the various precincts for the school election and be used the same as in other elec tions. This caused the question to be raised as to what proceedure should be adopted for the school election June 19, as the registra tion books do no show who are taxpayers! and registration time is pasti The board's attorneys advised Clerk Thomas that the school election should proceed as in the past. The election offic ials can ask the "voters if "they are taxpayers. If doubt exists the voters may be required to make an affidavit that they are taxpayers, In past school elections a citi zen voter could vote at any poll ing place in the, district, but at the forthcoming election all must vote in the pt'ecihets in which theo aire registered. The nchool board is given authority; howev- ever, to groupe precincts aCeord- ing to convenience and have but one polling place for each group of precincts. When the new laws go into effect the corrupt practices act will also apply to school elections. Temperance Big Point Sunday's Oregonian gave space to some excellent pictures and a writeup of nearly a column on theAdventist camp meeting in Portland which clpsed Tuesday. The Times editor was on the grounds Saturday and Sunday and was present at a number of interesting meetings, one of which the Oregonian said: "In the afternoon the whole period will be given over to a specially prepared temperance program. The various temper ance organizations wjll be repre sented. There also will be spec ial sinking, recitations, solos, a chorus of 100 voices accompani ed by a large and fine orchestra. The Adventists as a people are especially strong prohibitionists and worked hard during th last campaign to help the amend ment to carry. They are deter mined to work until the whole nation is dry, To aid in this purpose they arrange an elabor ate program on the subject of temperance each year jn all the 100 camp meetings that" are held in the United States."
