I AGE 2 SHERMAN COUNTY JOURNAL, MORO, OREGON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, g e r m a n Comity Jo u rn a l Published Every Frioay at More, Oregon OFFICIAI. COUNTY NIW SPAPIR . PURIISHSRS ^ASSOCIATION N O V E M B E R 17, 1950 tire state some 80,000 voters skipped t h e reapportionment measure who voted on the liquor bill. There is but one conclusion. There was not enough under standing o f reapportionment, even among those whom It would have helped most. One must con clude that if over 80,000 failed to vote at all many more voted without complete understanding of the measure. Probably they had not heard of the stabilizing influence It would have had on the state. i In alf probability there will be • reapportionment bills galore in the coming session of the legisla ture. In fact It Is possible that the whole session will be affect ed by passions and prejudices arising from such bills. That will be unfortunate because the mem bers of the legislature have plen ty of work to do. schools and $5,000,000 will go for veterans. • If anything the school cost will be larger and ” the veteran cost lower. That 17 million means l l t t mills If placed on property. Per- 'sons in Sherman county now s pay 30 mills If living outside the 1 towns. If their taxes were $300 this year their taxes will be $415 1 when the new taxes go into ef- 1 feet which will be’ within two ' years. Well, maybe the new taxes 1 can be put. on income. In that r case the income tax would be J raised greatly. We now are col- lecting some $32 million in per- • sonal incom e. taxes. If another $17 million was added the per son who now pays $320 in state lncfome taxes vfould pay $490. Maybe it can be put on cigar ettes, on business, on sales. But in the long min it all comes back to the property owner" and con sumer anyway. And the voters would probably turn down a new tax as they have to the past in which case the property owner and the Income tax payer will get the bill. That is the way it is. The peo ple voted I t That is the way it is going to be. In order to prevent it from happening again it does look as If the taxpayers, income^ and property, would get together and form an organization to stop these biennial raids on their pocketbooks. Until they do they’ll be buying a lot of expensive gov ernment from a lot of political super salesmen.

On election boards there has been question for years about the eligibility of former citizens to vote In Sherman county after they have moved away. They own property here (the reason for their interest) and often they vote here. Now that the question has been raised we’d like to know what “residence” means. The election laws, 81-1610 OCLA, say "The place shall be consid ered and held to be the residence of a person In which his habita tion Is fixed, and to which, when ever he Is absent, he has the in tention of returning.” And far ther on (5) “The place where a married man’s family resides shall be considered and held to be his residence.” This should be cleared up be fore someone contests an elec tion and perhaps throw s out everyone’s rots.
