CENTRA V O M 'ME IX CENTRAL POINT. OREGON. THIKNDAY, OCTOBER 30. 103« ■<a tí y an Innocent Bystander rn m m m a— a--------- ------- ----- ----- - Last week we started to give our recom m endations on the measures to be voted upon next Tuesday, but had to cut out part of them on ac count of space. So we shall contin ue today. • • • F o u rth comes the Non-compulsory Military T raining bill. We can see no good sense in this bill. We went th ro u g h that military training in o u r own college days many yea- ago and so far as we can see it did us more good than harm. Vote No. • EE F ifth comes the real Tax Limits tion bill. It is our belief this act w'.l do more harm than good. We fe»l It will cut too deep into government efficiency and will injure property values more th a n it will help then-.. T he lim iting of the millage rate m ight not do so much harm alone but with it comes the requiremen fixing the assessed valuation at 5 0 % . T ogether th a t makes too decj a cut in government income and wll be a handicap on all governmetv agencies. We advise a vote of No on this measure. E E E Sixth is the state power bill which bobs up "agin' and agin’ ” . We are unalterably opposed to tin sta te going into the power busines.-. We do n ’t like the idea at all and sa> Vote No. • • • Seventh is a bill closely tied i> with th e Power Bill and for th< same reason we say No. • • • Finally comes the State Bank Bill We saw and heard enough of such folly in the North Dakota fiasco an believe Oregon can well stay out o the banking business. Vote No. E » V E E And th a t makes it unanimous Ju st vote no on all the measures an« you will be doing fine. Now on th« candidates— vote for Landon au< Knox, of course. And for Chari'" McNary and dim Mott. But as foi th e county candidates you can Ju do as you darned please. (You wil a n y w a y .) E E E Of course we have our preferences and so have you. So far as we know, th e re isn’t a m an running th a t isn fit for the office to which he aspir. and so it w on’t upset the who’, world whoever wins. “ You pay your money and takes your choice.” • * • We would like to say Just a wor ! about the whispering campais which has been going on about o: old friend A. C. Walker. Most of tl stu ff told is untrue, in our opinioi And we do not believe this man h. led or is leading a Dr. Jekyll an« Mr. Hyde existence. This county h never had a more faltfhul servai th a n Mr. Walker. For sixteen Ion years the auditors have been unab to find the tr e a s u r e r ’s books off ba ance even in the sum of one penny And t h a t ’s a record unbeatable. A for any private troubles Mr. Walkei may have bad during the past tw years, th a t is between him and hi Maker and Is nobody else’s busines • EE i ‘ The Social Security Board al ready faced a trem endous task iu f nger-printing or assigning num- | hers to the 26,000,000 employes by [Ja n u a ry 1. Now it is up to its neck in mail— questions and protects i about the new taxes. T he taxes start, for instance, at 1 per cent and gradually increase. Thus an employe making only $20 a week will, beginning Ja n u ary 1 have 20 cents deducted from his pay each week, for his employer Is forc- ed to co lect the tax for the govern ment. Eventually, that deduction fro mthe $20 employe's pay will reach 60 cents. Simultaneously, each employer will be paying an equivalent amount. This tax on th e employer will be r e flected in an Increased cost of living, for the employer has no choice but to Include in his sales price, the ta x es he pays. There is no Iron-clad promise that these taxes a r e paid anybody will get pensions or unemployment in su r ance. In the first place, the Consti tution forbids the collection of such taxes for specific purposes. The mon ey must Just be paid into the T re a sury's general fund, and can be used for any purpose. But on top of that, in passing the law, Congress inserted this sen tence: “ The right to alter, amend, or repeal any provision of this act s hereby reserved to the Congress.” Congress has been kuown to change its mind. If it repealed the ,:ct, nobody could expect it to assume ho Herculean task of refunding t h i taxes to those who ahd paid them. By JO H N W. KELLY Oregon is safe for Landon and Knox, is the prediction of A rth u r W Priaulx, republican sta te chairm an Mr Priaulx bases his claim on the general trend of straw ballots and the effective work perform ed in Ore gon by the various county com m it tees a r d prlncinct w orkers The Lit erary Digest poll, which has never een wrong heretofore, gives Landon a lead over Hoosevelt in Oregon. The poll being ta k en by The Oregonian shows a nip and tuck race between the republicans and new dealers and the latest r e tu r n s received by The Oregonian have been heavily lu fa vor of Landon. Chairman Priaulx is confident the entire república ncon- gressional delegation will be elected. Governor Landon stated In his Los Angeles speech th a t : “ Relief funds have been used in an attem pt to force out less fo rtu n a te fellow citizens to vote for the r e tu r n of this adm inistration to power.” In fo rm a tion has been received by th e repub- lican state h ea d q u arte rs t h a t w ork ers on WPA projects, particularly women, have been told to vote the stra ig h t democratic ticket. This in formation is In line with d a ta ob tained by Landon upon which he ba- sed his charges of coercion and inti midation. W orkers have been told th a t it will be known w hether o r not they fail to cast th e ir ballot according to orders and that ballots will be checked. Oregon has the A ustralian secret ballot. No one but the elector knows or can know how the ballot is m a rk ed Attempt of anyone to learn how an other person voted is a violation of the corrupt practices act aud ca r ries serious penalties. Statem ents that a check will be made on WPA workers and reliefers to see th a t they “vote rig h t or else” , is pure bluff, declares C hairm an Priaulx. No m a tte r w hat pressure was applied to m ake a person register, once a voter is in the booth he or she can vote as th e ir conscience dictates and not a soul on oartb will ever discov e r how th e ballot was marked. There has been so much regim en ting of reliefers to register th r o u g h out the country to save the new deal with false registrations, th a t a na tional organization of Vigilantes has been formed to see th a t electors are not i n t e r f e r e d with R epresenta tives of this organization will bo on the Job in Oregon.
