A U G U ST 8, 1952 E IG H T E E N M E ASU R E S Oregon voters will have 18 m easures on which to vote this Novem ber in addition to choos ing officials fo r th e nation, state, d istrict,, county and city. None of them are exactly easy although voters can decide some of them by their prejudices— w ithout long study. This w ill be true of the measures to ban pari-mutuel racing, d a y lig h t Saving and liquor by the drink and perhaps prejudice w ill have much to do w ith the big truck bills of w hich there are two. Despite prejudices, some reason ,ng w ill be found valuable on all of them. There are two school bills, one to m ake the office of state school superintendent appointive by the board of education in stead of elective by the voters, and one to reorganize school dis tricts o f the state. T h ere is a reapportionm^nt bill sim ilar in many w ays to H B 117 which the legislature killed last year. There Is a milk control bill that will be fought very hard by both sides. The bill to do aw ay w ith World W ar I sinking fund is easy because It has outlived its usefulness; the bill to establish once and for all the question of the legal end of legislative term s Is also an easy decision to make; and providing that every legis lative act shall em brace but one subject is a needed reform. There are tw o difficult tax measures and they are confusing In their titles. One Is an amend- nvent to the six P E R C E N T lim itation w hich gives pow er to the voters to establish a new base. The other is a six M ILL lim ita tion w hich limits state property taxes to six mills. Both are desir able, especially for property own ers, but certainly they w ill lx* difficult to understand and sep arate. We Intend to discuss each one carefu lly before election and to recommend a vote on them from inform ation obtained betw een now and election and previously. If the voters are to be satis fied with their part In the in iti ative and referendum — w hich Is the m aking of Important deci sions— they m ust have Informa t i w i on w h k h t'h ^ « n 'b T i 't h . T r judgm ent. T he state provides argum ents pro and con in the voters' pam phlet and this year also provides an “explanation” which m ay, or may not, In* of value. Our opinion is that all of these w ill often* confuse as much u» inform. W e think that newspap ers have a definite duty to do their best at giving information ubout election m easqfes and men. This we iqjend to do to the e x tent of our ability. Ito w T IE S • • of a group of newspapermen, publishers they were, w e noted that not a one w ore a bow tie except the man- ager. He has a city Job. There is no apparent reason fo r it hut a lx»w tie is considered a s o r t of affectation. W e don’t know w hy. It does have certain sartorial advantages and certain practical ones. It perm its a sw eeping expanse of shirt front for the m ajority that has dis carded the vest, so much of an expanse tljat an advertising man looks upon so much w hite space w ith longing. It stays out of the soup and tickles the chin or chins. ¿Modern man, except for his sum m ertim e shifts, often com presses his liking for color in his necktie. It is quite a strain, to get a lot of color in a bow tie, certainly more d ifficu lt than to find space for It In a four-in- hand, which, when well painted can display field and stream, southern palms, any or all por tions o f the fem ale form , flou- rescent designs or w hatever else suits the notion of the w earer at dressing time. A lo w tie Is really more mod est. It Is much sm aller and ex cept on the very lean Is often obscured by chin. It hasn't nearly so much advertising space as a four-ln-hand.
