J. Tracy Barton, at torney for the Port of The Dal les covered both pros and cons of the measures using most of the points expressed in the Vot ers’ Pamphlet. On the Constitutional Six Per cent Tax Limitation Amendment Colorado Domino F. 520 3107354, owned by Frank W. Cochran of Brownsville, Oregon. Mr. Cochran has several heifers consigned to the Midco sale here Monday that are bred to this herd sire. Midco Sale Grows The third annual sale of the group of breeders who started back in 1945 to develop this sale as an outlet for their growing herds of fine cattle will be held here Monday. The show will be concluded, the day1 before with Joe Johnson, stock judge of Ore gon State college, placing the ribbons. The original design of the sale was to Include all beef breeds and this was done before but special sales of Shorthorns and Angus have lured breeders away and this sale will be of Herefords only. There are 19 bulls and 21 heifers offered. The first sale held in 1946 to taled $22,947 for the 54 head sold and the 1947 sale totaled $28,700 for the 74 head sold. Av erage last year was $387.84, slight ly lower than the previous year. L. K. Smith was the first presi dent and I^ester Barnum the second being succeeded by Fred Cox. Consignors have been from the mid-Columbia counties of Oregon with some usually coming from Washington countes in the wheat belt. In addition to this group commercial stockmen from cen tral Oregon have brought cattle for sale and have also stocked up on bulls from the local sale. This year there are consignors from the Willamette valley and advertising has been sent to that section to interest the growing number of breeders there. he explained that the measure would assist areas growing rap idly in population to meet in creasing governmental and school expansion. He also explain ed that the procedure recommend ed was quite complicated. He summarized by saying he saw no harm in the measure. On the Right to Vote measure, Mr. Barton brought out the claim for greater democratic action claimed by supporters. He also mentioned the possibility of citi zens not relatively permanent residents being able to place a burden on permanent residents. The program was concluded with an address given by* Leslie • I * Pd. Adv., K . D u niw iy, Yeon B id /..

Worshipful Master to the forefront by Congress, should look behind the scenes to of Wasco lodge of The Dalles. “When such things occur, we see. what really is going on.” “It is the duty of every citizen to express his ideas in the elec tion,” Martin declared. “Govern ment is a big subject but it still consists of you and me. If you don’t vote, someone else will vote for you. Enlightened people should emphasize this to the man in the street.” Mr. Martin warned that when something is repeatedly being dangled in front of the public for 9ome time, it is usually an at tempt to divert attention to the real intent of bodies like legisla tures. An example given was the Communist scare ^ in g pushed LEW WALLACE.

YOU SAY HE Oregon State Grange, now 75 years old, would be derelict in duty to its 32,000 members and to more than one million Oregon citizens if it did not point a finger of alarm and warning at an attempt by the Idaho Power Company to strip Oregonians of their fundamental rights in hydroelectric resources. At issue is a bill (S.B. 99) amending licensing and acquisition provisions of the Oregon Hydroelectric Com mission Act. Such an amended Act would permit the Idaho Power Company to erect a dam on the Snake River in eastern Oregon under conditions immediately favor able to it and entirely unfavorable to the long-range development o f hydroelectric power for all Oregonians. Unless you prevent such an attempt by a N O vote on November 2, a wise and just law that has been in force since 1931, and that has protected Oregon’s river resources for Oregonians, w ill be changed and weakened to the point where your fundamental rights w ill forever be in jeopardy.
