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

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.

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
