We strongly recommend that each voter study his official voters’ pamphlet which he received through the mail several weeks ago. In addition, this column makes the following recommendations for voting on these measures. 1 SAI^ARIFIS OF STATE LEGISLATORS. We recommend a yes vote. To draw qualified men into public office, the present salary scale must be increased to more nearly equal actual costs. 2. SUBDIVIDING COUNTIES FOR ELECTING STATE LEG ISLATORS. We recommend a yes vote. This measure will eliminate a confusing situation in heavily populated counties and make the voters’ job easier. 3. MENTAL HOSPITAL IN OR NEAR PORTLAND. We recom mend a yes vote. This measure would open the authorized hospital to all persons afflicted with mental illness and not just aged mental patients. 4 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. We recommend a yes vote. Increasing from 8 per cent to 10 per cent the signatures to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot will prevent “easy" use and eliminate hurried, faulty changes. 5. STATE PROPERTY TAX We recommend a yes vote. This measure will place a definite limit on the state which we feel is beneficial to property owners. fl. ESTABLISHING DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME. We recommend a yea vote. Let’s go along with other coast states in getting a uniform time basis. 7. PROHIBITING CERTAIN FISHING IN COASTAL STREAMS. We recommend a yea vote. Let’s leave stream fishing to the sports man and tourist. This would benefit only a handful of commercial fishermen and ruin streams for sportsmen. fl. REPEALING MILK CONTROL LAW. We recommend a no vote. We feel any change in present milk legislation would result in a serious blow to small producers. They are doing a good job now. In addition, there are two local issues: ’ FOR JUVENILE HOME. We nvommend yes vote, We fee! that youngsters, not criminals, who get into trouble deserve a break lad’s treat them like youngsters and not like hardened criminals. And on the city ballot: CHARTER AMENDMENT PROVIDING FOR FTRE HALL AND LIBRARY BUILDING We recommend a yes vote. ................... A new building to remove two eyesores in our town is worth the two or three dollars of additional taxes we will have to pay. It’s also a good investment to protect our expensive fire-fighting equipment. And remember, vote as you please, but vote.

PAINTS FIRE HALL Frank Bruce of Central Point has been working at the rural fire hall during the past week painting the lower portion of walls in the truck and store rooms. The walls are being paint an aqua color. Through Lady Laura, the group rented the coveted Royal Box at the theater and later had a second supper at the Savoy Ho tel. It was disappointing that such an auspicious evening should end by one mamber of the company dead under highly sus picious circumstances, As In spector Kirtland of Scotland yard questions each one, the reader wonders if it were a crime motivated by revenge, politics, international intrigue or person al gain. Almost everybody had a motive and an opportunity. The action of the story is con fined to 24 hours, yet the rev elations of the suspects expand it to many years. The story is so skillfully woven that it is amaz ing to see how people with such varied backgrounds and positions could have been drawn together into such a rich pattern of dra matic action. Only under the brilliant pen of Francis Parkinr son Keyes, could a plot be fash ioned to make the “Royal Box.” Vote pài r- TO JOIN AIR FORCE Bob Hill, son of Mrs. Oscar Swanson, left this week to join the air force. • PATTERSON Book Briefs From Central Poini Public Library By Evelyn Graham Baldwin Castle, the newly ap pointed ambassador to the oil rich country of Aristan, and his bride appeared in London on their way to the Middle East.
