The Constitutional A m end
ments and Measures
The editor of the N ews does
not profess to be a political pro
phet, nor to attach much value to
his opinion on such matters, but
he has given some thought and
consulted with more experi
enced men, concerning the meas
ures to be submitted at election,
June 3rd.
The four most important, are
the six per cent county indebted
ness for permanent roads amend
ment; the state bond payment of
irrigation and drainage district
bond interest; the market roads
tax bill and the Roosevelt Milit
ary Highway. The amendment
providing fora lieutenant-gover
nor should carry as there is just
as much need proportionately,
for a lieutenant-governor as for
a vice president of the U. S. A.
The five million dollar recon
struction bonding amendment
and the reconstruction bonding
bill are companion measures and
stand and fall together. Rut
there is a serious criticism to be
made about them, which has

been admirably stated by the Or

reproduce here.

“ It is proposed by the legislature and
submitted to the people for ratification
or rejection at the special election on
June 3rd that $5,000,000 of bonds shall
be authorized and the money expended
for the promotion of reconstruction, re
clamation and land settlem ent projects’’
“ The proposition is lumped into one
measure and one constitutional ad-
mendmenton the ballot, the amend
ment legalizing the issue of the bonds
and the measure authorizing the ex
penditure of the money for hospitals at
Portland and Salem, for educational
buildings at Corvallis, Eugene and
Monmouth, for buildings at the Pendle
ton insane hospital, for a new peniten
tiary, and for armories at Marshfield,
Astoria, Baker, Bend, La Grande and
Medford. The amount proposed to be
expended for these buildings totals
$2,352,500, and it is also proposed to is
sue bonds for $047,500 for promoting
land settlem ent, and #2,000,000 for re
clamation projects.”

“ The people are given no opportunity
to pass upon each item on its merits,
but must swallow the whole dose or
vote down the entire program . In the
measure there are no less than 10 dis
tinct propositions, and some, at least,
are needed, but we contend that the
people seould be allowed to vote upon
each one of these 16 appropriations
singly and should not be forced to exer
cise their franchise in a wholesale
manner. ”
The other two measures, the
industrial and reconstruction hos
pital amendment and the sol
diers’ sailors’ and marines edu
cational financial aid bill, are
both good.
On the whole in spite of the
objection to the log rolling pro
cess, we have decided to vote
YES on all. Rut future legisla
tures should receive emphatic
warning against such lumping of
measures, on pain of having them
rejected in toto.
Vote early or vote late, but be
sure not to forget to vote next
Tuesday.
