In line with the interest of
Masons in the subject of educa
tion, the two measures on the
November ballot affecting schools
in the state of Oregon were dis
cussed by guest speakers before
Eureka Masonic lodge Thursday,
October 21. 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

M. Martin. 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

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.
